Till You Came Along- Chapter 1 (Prologue)
Spring for most people is a time of happiness. But for one person, it's loneliness. All around and below him, happy couples are kissing and hugging, but him? He's alone. Siting here, next to this grand ol' tree on this hill, bringing back all the memories of HER.
(Keitaro's View)
It's been three years. Three years ago, we were here on this hill, promising to meet here in three years. That day, we had parted ways. She had told me to write a letter, as will she, the day before. The fateful day came and I went to meet her at the foot of the mountain. She was already there, waiting for me with that unreadable expression on her face.
We climbed the mountain together and when we got to 'that' tree, she brought out a orange, egg-shaped container. I asked her what it was. She replied, smiling, that it was a time capsule. She told me that we would put our letters in it and meet back here in three years to open it.
This is the reason I am here today, but… she still hasn't shown up. I decided to open the capsule a few days ago and took out her letter. This is my 5th time reading it.
Keitaro,
How are you? I was so happy while I was with you. I'm not sure if you knew but, the person I loved passed away a year before I met you. Actually, I tried to look for him in you. I know it was wrong so, gomen…
I also met him on the subway like you. I was really sick at the time, so he handed me his handkerchief. He did everything I wanted, just like you did. On our 100th day anniversary, he gave me a rose during class. That was the main reason, I think, that I asked you to do that at my piano recital.
Under this very tree, we planned our futures together, but he suddenly passed away. While I was dating you, I met his motherr often. She told me she wanted to introduce a nice guy to me, but I couldn't go along with it. When I first met you, I came to this tree. I prayed to him to set me free. As our relationship grew, I started to think that maybe…he introduced you to me. But, the more we met, the more I felt that he was jealous and the more I liked you, the guiltier I felt.
While the two of us are apart, I want to forget him alone. If I'm not here after three years, it means I still lack in courage. How much will we change are three years? I feel like you live in the future and I stay in the past. (explained later) I really want to see you soon… so I can read your letter…
-Naru Narusegawa
Ever since a week ago, when I had read this letter, I had come here often, almost everyday. I long to see her come over the hill-top and sit here next to me. Sometimes I get so frustrated that I just forget about the entire thing and move on with my life. But…. I always comes back. I will wait… Come back soon, Naru….
