Forever True

I looked at the restaurant window to see if the person I was meeting was already there. It's been so long since we saw each other. I wonder what happened to him. I wanted to confirm something about the last thing he said to the team. I looked at the glass infront of me and swallowed the bitter liquid in one gulp. The vodka is slowly taking effect on my system.

"Mitsui..." someone said. I looked behind me and saw Kimi-chan walking towards the table. I smiled with one of those drunken smiles I always give to others to mask my sadness.

"Ne, Kimi-chan... you're here!" I said. His eyes burned with anger but he fought it down. I know I'm the only one who can tease him like that. I smiled even more.

"I'll forgive you this time, Mitsui since it's the day before my wedding..." he said. Oh, yes... he was going to get married tomorrow. I thought he was only kidding when he said it then but I guess I know it's true then.

"Congatulations then!!!!" I said with my face beaming, masking all the pain inside. I shook his hands wildly and grabbed the glass and filled it again with vodka.

"Eww... Mitsui, you're drinking again!" he said, wrinkling his nose with distate. I swallowed the liquid and smile again. As I fill it again the glass again with the liquid, I saw his hand still wears the bracelet I gave him for his birthday, a year before he left the Shohoku basketball team. The silver band was simple but beautiful and elegant. In the other side of bracelet engraved the phrase: "Kimi-chan, Eien ni Aishiteiru".

"Mitsui, you're drink is overflowing..." he said. I looked at the glass and jumped up. I grabbed the tissue and slowly drying dampened table. I sighed as the liquid was absorbed by the tissue papers I placed. I grabbed the glass again and drink it.

"Kiminobu..." someone said behind me. Kimi-chan's eyes lit up. I followed his gaze and saw a petite young woman with long black hair. She smild and walked towards the table and sat beside Kimi-chan... my Kimi-chan.

"Oh, Mitsui, I would like you to meet my fiancee, Mina..." he said. I smiled at the woman in front of me, trying to stop my hand from grabbing her hair and throw her out to the street. I already given up to the girl. 'I guess if Kimi-chan is happy, I'll be satisfied with that'

We talked a chatted a little. I smiled once in while and said some things while taking a sip in my glass of vodka. The bottle is almost empty when they decided to go.

"You go ahead Mina, I need to tell something to Mitsui..." the girl nodded and walked away. Kimi-chan looked at me and smiled.

"Could you be my best man in the wedding?" he asks. I nodded and drank another glass.

"Will you stop drinking?" he asks and I shrugged. My head feels heavy and I'm seeing doubles.

"Stop moving Kimi-chan... I'm seeing two of you..." I said, trying to hold Kimi-chan in place. 'Hmmm... maybe I can have the other one..."

"I'm not moving... you're drunk... you...!" he said and I'm not listening. I put my head on the table and sighed. Something rolled on the carpet of the restaurant. Kimi-chan grabbed it and I saw his eyes widened in surprise. I knew what the bottle was. I intentionally bring it today to put it in the vodka I was drinking. It made the vodka much more enticing that way.

"Mitsui...." he said again but I didn't listen. I slowly closed my heavy eyelids.

"Don't you dare close those eyes Mitsui!" he said but it was too late. The cyanide that I have placed in my drink is quickly taking its effect.

"Gomen... I can't.. I feel so sleepy..." I yawned as well and closed my eyes. I felt the darkness swallowing me up as I smiled in my forever sleep.
