I Dreamed a Dream

Chapter One

Written by: happytears_21

Mikan's POV

Somehow, I just can't believe how I achieved a life like one today. After we graduated from the academy, I was directed to go out of the country for specializing myself in the field of business. Yes, business indeed. Even though I'm kind of like didn't like it at first, I thought that it would be better because Natsume and I will go to work together if that happens. Oh, you must be wondering where the hell is Natsume today well he just went to work and I bet he'll come home late again. Home you ask? Oh yeah I forgot to tell you, we are currently living together but not too often because Natsume leaves for his work. He told me that he wanted me to have a wonderful life with him so he is working hard, hehe, he sure is sweet. Very out of his character alright.

I can still remember how he looked at me when I told him about the training, he looked bewildered at first but then later on, he just hugged me and whispered that he'll wait for me until I came back and sure he did, after five years of training abroad, he took me back in his arms once again and vowed that he will never let me go forever.

But we are not still married even though we are living in the same roof together and I kept on wondering when will he ever propose to me since I've been waiting for like forever. I don't want to be sound too rash but our feelings after all are mutual so I guess it is already time for us to be tied as one; imagine five years of living together without him touching the topic of marriage… sounds weird but I guess that he is just waiting for the 'most' right time for us to do that. I bet he is still not prepared to enter the world being the man of the house so I'll just also wait for him to do that. We won't separate anyways so we have all of our time of our lives. But I still won't be able to erase this enviousness in my heart whenever I see families outside happily strolling down the park with their wives wearing a certain ring on their ring fingers. I really wanted to have one as well.

Sumire and I are still in contact with each other, she is happily married with Koko whom she bore a son with. Anna and Yuu too got already a daughter in their hands while Nonoko and Kitsuneme was still doing the process since they just got married December last year, I bet a little Nonoko or Kitsuneme will be out soon.

I haven't heard anything from Hotaru ever since we had that fight, that fight which led us to end our relationship being best friends , it's sad to think that the person whom you first shared your first ambition will be gone before you reach it. I still wanted to be friends with her but she won't let me. I also did risky things to ask for her forgiveness but none of those helped me out. I don't even know why I was the one asking for forgiveness when in fact she is also at fault. She really must've loved Ruka very much.

Ruka Nogi is the childhood crush and love of Hotaru. She even blackmailed him so that she could have his attention which worked only for the mean time. Then middle school came, Ruka started to act very weird around me and this made Hotaru tick off much. He would often do what a gentleman does and tries his best to be around me all the time until such that I reached a theory that he might be in love with me. That scared me so much so I decided to go away from him. It made a good benefit in my part but on the other side of the world, this made a negative impact to him. He just became too silent and that's when I decided to tell him what really happened. He yelled at me when I told him I don't feel the same way he feels for me and he even forced me to kiss him but before he even do his plan, I managed to kick 'it'. We never talk with each other ever since but I still see him at the classroom. Just when I think that he must've been over with everything, news suddenly said that Ruka Nogi committed suicide inside his room. That was a terrifying news for both of us and she just exploded… at me.

"This is your entire fault Mikan!" she yelled at me while tears are finding their way down on her cheeks. I just stood infront of her flabbergasted. "You are the reason why he killed himself!"

"I never thought that he would go to the extent that he would kill himself, I was just thinking about you Hotaru that's why I distanced myself from him!" I defended myself.

"You stupid, idiot woman! You're such a bloody murderer I will never ever forgive you!" she shouted once again. Somehow, when your best friend is the one shouting at you like this… it just tears me down.

"Why won't you appreciate me because I stayed away from him for your sake?!" I yelled.

"Appreciate you? Are you kidding me? You want me to appreciate his death?" she mocked. Well, that wasn't really the thing that I would like her to get from my words.

"Hotaru I never saw what was inside our future, I did it so that you won't feel bad even though I already know that it would risk both I and Ruka's friendship together. What makes you think that I wanted to end our friendship that easily?" I cried. I tried to suppress all my disappointment against her for blaming me of what had happened. It hurts a lot.

"And now you rub it on my face that you are whom he really loves!" she shrieked at me once again and that did it. My last ounce of control to my anger just snapped. Why is she so hard-headed?

"And that's true! I am the one whom he really loved not you!" I retorted. I really know that this will going to end something.

"I'm ending our friendship now Sakura!" she screamed and that's when tears finally went out from me. She's not choosing me because of a boy? I mustered all my courage and strength to the next words I said.

"Fine! End it! It's not like I really wanted it from the start anyways so why do I still have to deal with you Imai?" I really didn't mean any of those words who just came out from me and I really regretted saying it.

"Then I guess I'll take everything that I own from you." She grabbed my neck and pulled my necklace which she gave me during our first ever best friend anniversary then she threw the bracelet I gave her at the same day in my face.

And just like that. She went away from me ever since and it pained me so much being away from her, especially when she transferred to another school. I tried my best to keep updated on where she is so that I could send my peace offering to her but it seemed like she really doesn't want to forgive me until there came a day that I really have no idea where in the world is she living now. My next days became too cold to shoulder and when I was beginning to faint in my own misery, warm hands helped me up and made me stood once again. Natsume Hyuuga. He isn't a gentleman like Ruka at first but ever since I remember how he helped me stand upright once again, I decided to devote myself to him. We became more than friends almost immediately and we stayed with each other's hands while exploring the world, while I went away for my training and until now that we are living at the same roof. I vowed to myself that he will be the only person that I will love for forever. And I promise that it will turn out to be like that in the end.
