Can I whisper 'I love you?

by mudshake

The idiot always come into my dreams and whisper that she loves me. Truth be told, i'm happy because of her 'visits'. But suddenly, she stopped coming in my dreams. Not being able to take it, i went back to Japan. The rest of the group was acting strange, my idiot assistant is nowhere in sight. Then, i learned something horrible. It made me wish that i should've come back sooner.

PROLOGUE

The tall man watched as the person he respects slowly knelt at the edge of the small cliff and gasp as if there is no more air around him. The guy raises his quivering hands to cover his face. The wind carried his sobs making it heard throughout the entire area. And, not being able to take it anymore, he screamed.

"The scream, it's filled with too much pain. Like an animal wounded asking for help but is left alone", thought by the tall man who was standing meters away from the guy who was kneeling at the edge of the cliff.

The guy continued to scream. He has no energy left but with the last ounce of voice and strength he had, he screamed the name of the most important person of his life.

"Telling the truth to him, was it really a good choice?" the tall man asked himself. "Or was it better if they just continued to lie?" He bowed his head as tears trickle down his cheeks. Ever since that day, guilt has never left his side.

"You!"

He flinched and looked up. The guy who was kneeling before is now charging at him.

"You knew this would happen! How could you be so useless?" The guy shouted at him while grabbing the collar of his shirt.

Pain is evident in the eyes of the tall man. The guy backed away while shaking his head furiously. He slowly walked past him but before he was completely gone he said, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to lash at you." By that, he trailed off.

The tall man sobbed loudly and covered his face with his shaking palm. "Don't be sorry", he said to no one. "It's true. I am useless."

He went to the edge of the small cliff where the horrible incident took place. The river below flows quietly unlike that day where it roared with rage because of the sudden downpour of rain the night before.

"I'm sorry."

Mai woke up drenched with tears. For the past week, she kept on dreaming this particular scene. It was vague, blurry and inaudible before but now, it was crystal clear.

"I-I'm sorry… I'm sorry. I'm sorry", she continued to apologize. "Forgive me for causing you pain."
