Rhapsody of Destiny

Prologue:

Two loud shrieks trembled the whole Kanagawa district or should I say the whole Tokyo and Japan. The two shrieks came from two groups. The first group is composed of the female population who shriek out of disappointment, sadness and misfortune due to their gender. The last group came from the gay or homosexual's population who shriek out of joy, and luck due to their gender.

The shriek was the after shock of the announcement, of the famous composure-singer-interpreter, former commercial model, a corporal lawyer, a businessman not only that he is an eligible bachelor with the looks and charms that could rattle the senses of both the female and homosexuals population, he is also a billionaire at an early age aside from his own doing and from his family heritage, about his love and soon to be Rukawa. He is no other than the Atty. Kaede Rukawa.

"Ladies and gentleman, we have a special guest today – a famous special guest at that. His career is at the peak and everyone wanted him to compose songs for him. His songs are filled with real emotions that both the singer and the listener are moved which caused his career as a composer to soar as high as Mt. Fuji. He is no other than the heartthrob of Japan Atty. Kaede Rukawa." The host of the famous talk show introduces the guest with proud.

"Thank You." a simple reply coming from the guest without smiling

"I know all of you are excited for our topic today – I know all of you know that Rukawa will be exposing his deepest secret. The mystery that surrounds his whole being that made all his fans to adore his cold façade and the ambiance of secrecy surrounding his character." The host inquired non-stop more about Rukawa.

"So because I know that all of our viewers are eager to know Rukawa's secret. We will not delay it further anymore. So here we start. Rukawa can you tell as about the reason why you have this exclusive interview. It is true that you will expose your deepest secret and the mystery that surrounds you personality."

"Hn…" It was followed by a nod from the most mysterious composer in the industry that made the host to sweat dropped and the audiences and viewers to giggle.

"I see. Thank you so much Mr. Rukawa for picking our tv show to expose your secret. Therefore, can you tell our viewers about it all – I mean your secret the person, who is your ideal partner in life."

"You see the mystery that surrounds me and the secret of my ideal partner comes hand and hand. So once you know who is my ideal partner, then you will known the mystery in me. You see, I know all of you know that I love to sleep a lot and never speak longer than ten words per sentence and about three sentences."

Everyone's mouth hangs open when Rukawa speak longer than expected. The whole area of Tokyo was silent that even the footstep of the ants can be heard due to the extreme silence that surrounds the area. Rukawa continued with his speech and nobody interrupted him.

"I am really that quite, I love peace and silence and I hate to talk but for me to find peace at long last I have to speak up and break my silence now. I don't care even if my career will be the one to suffer in exposing my career."

Everyone can't wait for Rukawa's confession – that everyone held his or her breaths in anticipation.

"Like everyone else, I dream to have my partner in life to grow old with. My partner must love me as who I am not because I am wealthy, loyal, sincere… to be honest what I am looking for in a partner is typical values that almost everyone are looking for a partner. You see, it may not be obvious in my character but I am a romantic fool – that is why I don't want to force myself to somebody – I want destiny to lead me and my partner together."

"Oh my god… he is so romantic… I can't believe him." One of the audience uttered to her seatmate.

"Yeah, you are right. HE is a good catch. He is such a heartthrob."

"Without further ado, The partner that I want in my life should love me and understand my mood swings. My partner must have a qualification of being a –" Rukawa's eyes were as serious as ever but it has a hint of hopefulness if observed carefully. And he purposely cut short his answer to see for the reaction of the audiences.

Meanwhile the audience's and viewer's tension grow stronger and reach its peak. Each one held his or her breath for the nth time that day for excitement and curiosity.  The silence that surrounds the set seems to last for ten minutes but actually, it was a mere minute.

"My partner in life must never be a female. I don't like female partner. My partner must be a male just like me. A gay male or we should put it a Homosexual just like me." Rukawa stated it in a casual manner.

That made all the audience and even the host to be shock.

The female population all across Japan was disappointed of Rukawa's confession while the homosexual's population rejoices. Everyone has different emotion displayed at that matter: shock, disappointed, happy, no comment and even a raised eyebrow. Except one person who felt nothing but an opportunity to avoid some aspects of nature and due to the fact that both have something in common in some aspects.

"I can't believe he did it already. I never thought it will be this soon."  Concerned was filled his voice. He fear for his little brother's privacy and life now that everything are exposed to the public. All his brother's after is a peace of mind and opportunity to find his own destiny just like him.

{As you can see, the one who spoke is Rukawa's brother. Just like Rukawa, he is also a gay and unlike his brother – he already found his destiny. The one person I am talking about is coming up next:}

"Darling, I want him to be my composure. Now that I know that he don't want any relationship with females. I can be safe if I will be his singer and interpreter for some of his songs. I love his songs it has the soul of the composure." A sophisticated and very attractive female spoke

"Sakura, are you crazy, didn't you understand that he don't want any involvement with any female at that matter. We can't just approach him and offer him a contract knowing that he already made a public announcement about his sexual preference." Youhei stated for the unreasonable request of his artist at the same time best friend.

"Youhei-darling, I am not after his attention. I am only after his song and music. That is all. Besides you all know that I don't want any involvement with guys that lusts for females – let me correct that… pervert guys." Sakura replied in a business like tone signaling that eventually she will be upset.

"We know that Sakura… but I don't thing He will understand that. Like what Youhei said, he don't want any female associates. You are a female Sakura and a very attractive one. He might think that you are there just to seduce him. Which Youhei, your family and I know won't happen but I think the public will be the one to react and put malice on it. Why don't you just give up? We can't just force him or talk to him to reconsider our offer." Sendoh stated trying to put some sense to his friend. "Besides Youhei, your brother and I are the one who are composing for you aside from other composers that often than not tried to impress you with their music."

"Sendoh-darling, I know that but some people are already curious why I never sing other songs beside what I wrote and you guys. We even have to invent a pen name for my brother and his koi as not to blow up my cover." Sakura declared in a low voice.

"We know that Sakura. Nonetheless, what if he wouldn't agree. He is after all a mysterious person and nobody can predict what he is thinking. Even his own manager, who happens to be his brother can't predict what he is thinking. That is why he can create one hell of a song."

"But Youhei-kun, I want us to try, at least. Besides he did wrote many songs that was song by females before. So why not now, Our intentions are well and good for both our career and profession." Sakura informed the two with finality in her voice than the two know couldn't be bended.

"Okay… okay… you win… we will set an appointment. What can you say about a week from now? Will that be okay with you, Sakura?" Youhei said in surrender to Sakura

"Arigato… I know you will see it my way. A week will be fine with me… as long as we can set an appointment to Rukawa." Sakura smiled devilishly now that she gets her what she wants as always.

The two sweat dropped for the turn of events and for her wicked grin… but both are happy that the sadness in her eyes are once again disappeared.
