Yukiko fell asleep quickly that day. She never felt so tired after drinking some Vermouth. It had been one year that Sharon Vineyard's death known by the world. And it had been one year that Sharon left her.
"Sharon..." Yukiko whispered the name she said thousands of times. Then, she seemed to see Sharon.
It was rainy that day in NYC. Yukiko finished her play and was about to retire from the stage. She walked along the street and went to meet Sharon. Sharon told her to meet at the blue bar.
After getting off from the subway, Yukiko had walked for a long distance. She didn't take the metro to the final station because she wanted to see this city where she lived for almost two years eventually. And, that day was special to Sharon and her,
that day was their anniversary. To memorize they kept stay for one year.
Finally, she walked towards the blue bar opposite the zebra line.
The rain became heavier as if there were something cruel makes trouble. Yukiko came in the blue bar and saw the beauty sitting on the sofa.
"Sharon!" Yukiko was used to speaking Sharon's name so she did and then she said why she was late.
Sharon stared at Yukiko and smiled gently. "It doesn't matter. Come on, Yukiko. Have a Vermouth?" Said Sharon with a glass of Vermouth.
Yukiko sat on the sofa next to Sharon and drank all the glass of Vermouth. She looks great, like a treasure that never been found.
"Er...Sharon...I have been thinking about retiring..." Yukiko didn't try to hide what she would do and she wondered Sharon's reaction.
"Why?"
"I feel tired and you know that many men actors send me flowers but I just want Sharon..." Yukiko said and looked at Sharon.
"It depends on you. I will be there, Yukiko. For you. " Sharon's voice was so soft that make Yukiko felt like dreaming.
And Yukiko never imagined that their ending was coming soon. She was buried in that soft so she couldn't deal with the farewell.
All the scene changed quickly, suddenly the blue bar vanished and the sofa missed, Yukiko was shocked and saw Sharon went away.
"Sharon!" She shouted but no reply.
What replied her is only the rain.
"Sharon!Sharon!" Yukiko woke up and she couldn't believe that was a dream.
A dream...Sharon had passed away for one year.
Yukiko realized the truth and saw the person who lied beside her was Yusaku Kudo. Yusaku slept peacefully and his breath was smooth.
Yukiko walked to the window. Los Angeles, she lived with Yusaku in that city.
Sharon...
Who can really hear her shouting?
"Can you hear me? Sharon. "
Yukiko's tear falls.
「ばか。」
END
