"What...she died?" Eriol said, as he clenched his fist.
"I'm sorry what happened to your wife sir. She really couldn't take the sickness of tuberculosis. I'm sorry..." the doctor said.
"That's okay", Eriol's tears flowed from his eyes. He couldn't take this! Kaho is dead! And for another reason he thought of Tomoyo. It's like he's paying the price.
~*~*~*~*~
Twenty five year old Tomoyo Daidouji was busy in the Toy Company. Until her assistant called her. "Miss Tomoyo, telephone for you!"
"Coming!" Tomoyo replied, quickly grabbing the phone. "Hello?"
"Hello Tomoyo! It's me Eriol", Tomoyo's heart skipped a beat when she heard his voice. She admits she still loves him. "Hey I called coz'...Kaho died", Eriol's voice was almost a whisper.
"Oh my good lord!" Tomoyo nearly yelled. She was so shocked. After a moment's paused she replied. "I'm sorry".
"It's nothing. Please come here in England for her burial. You can stay in my house", he said.
"Sure I'll go there as soon as possible!" she assured him.
"Thanks bye!"
"Bye!" Tomoyo told her mom on what happened that day that she'll go to England. Sonomi said she can even have a vacation there and not to worry about the company. Tomoyo called Eriol up that she'll leave tonight and arrived on the next day. Eriol told her that he'll fetch her.
~*~*~*~*~
Five minutes then the plane will arrive. The plane had a smooth landing in the airport. Tomoyo carried her bag and exit through the door with many people behind her. When she get to the airport she looked around if ever she will saw a blue-haired boy, blue eyes with glasses. "Hi! Welcome back!" someone tapped her shoulder behind. Tomoyo turn around to see Eriol.
"Eriol! Hi!" Tomoyo exclaimed happily as she hugged him. And he hugged her back. After a moment they free themselves from the hug.
"Shall we go?" Eriol asked.
"Sure!" was Tomoyo's reply as the two went inside the black car.
~*~*~*~*~
They arrived at the Hiiragizawa residence after twenty minutes. Tomoyo pressed the doorbell two times. She didn't expect who she saw. A cute little girl at the age of six, orange haired and blue eyes met her. She paused. Is this Eriol's daughter? "Hi aunt Tomoyo! Daddy said you'll arrive today!" the girl greeted as the two went inside.
"Uh...yeah!" Tomoyo stammered. "You're Eriol's daughter?" the little lass nod her head. "What's your name?"
"Katrina Hiiragizawa. You're full name?" Katrina asked back.
"Tomoyo...Daidouji", Tomoyo replied.
"Katrina you can talk to your aunt later. She's tired and she needs some rest", Eriol interrupted.
"Okay daddy!" the lass replied cheerfully. "See you two around!" As she skipped happily to the kitchen where Nakuru is.
"I'll show you you're room", Eriol turned to her. Tomoyo just lazily nod her head in reply. The two went to the second floor and Eriol opened the second room. Tomoyo was amazed on how beautiful the room was. It was painted with sky blue. The bed sheet was neatly pressed as so the things were arranged. "Do you like it or not?" he asked. Tomoyo turned to him and smile.
"I like it very much!" she replied.
"Well I'll leave your things here. You can place your clothes inside the closet. It's still 9:00a.m.you can rest for a while", Eriol told her and was about to go out. "I'll call you when it's lunch time", he said and closed the door. Tomoyo smiled to herself.
'Can't believe I'll be sleeping inside his house!' she open her suitcase and start unpacking her things. 'I didn't know fate will bring me here.'
~*~*~*~*~
Eriol ran upstairs and knock on Tomoyo's room. When he didn't hear a reply he went inside. She was sleeping peacefully and he noticed that she was unpacking her things and that she had fallen asleep. Eriol sit beside her bed. Good thing she wasn't a light sleeper! Eriol caressed her face lovingly. But he could feel a stab in his heart. For the past seven years he had hurt her! He used her! But she still forgives him! 'Why? Why did you forgive me?' Eriol asked himself. Not for long Tomoyo woke up.
"Huh? Eriol?" Tomoyo said, still feeling sleepy.
"Wake up sleepyhead! It's lunch time!" Eriol greeted. Tomoyo sat up on the bed.
"I'll be coming down. I'll just fix myself", she replied as she yawned.
"I'll be waiting", he said then he left her.
~*~*~*~*~
"Auntie, daddy said you we're classmates when you were in second year college?" Katrina asked so sweetly that Tomoyo had to smile.
"Why yes!" Tomoyo answered, as she was eating.
"We're you lovers that time?" Tomoyo paused on that. We're they lovers?
"No of course not! Your dad's love one is your mom", she answered her. But she could almost feel her heart braking.
"Oh...I thought you we're..."Katrina was disappointed. "Oh well I hope dad will fall again. And I wished it's you". Tomoyo and Eriol blushed.
"Now Katrina you're still young for that", Eriol warned. Katrina rolled her eyes.
"Yeah daddy!" she stood up and went hurriedly upstairs.
"She's done eating?" Tomoyo asked. Eriol chuckled.
"Yeah. She doesn't eat much".
"Oh", was all she could say. "By the way where is Mizuki-san's body?" Eriol paused for a while then replied.
"In her parent's house. They say they'll keep the coffin there. Then tomorrow will be the burial. It will be at 10:00a.m.", he reminded as he averted his gaze.
"Get it!" she told him. There's so much to think about. The two of them are moving on.
~*~*~*~*~
That night Tomoyo was in the balcony where Nakuru showed her. She was bored actually. If she was in Japan she's doing a lot of things. "I wonder what they're doing right now?"
"Who?" a voice called from behind. As she looked around she saw Eriol.
"My mother. I know she's busy", Tomoyo told him, looking at the pale moonlight. "Honestly speaking I feel young again".
"Me too", Eriol agreed as both we're leaning at the rail of the balcony. "So how's you're love life?" Tomoyo gave a slight laugh.
"I don't have a love one yet Eriol", she answered. And after all she still loves him.
"That's impossible!" he cried out. A beautiful girl like her has no boyfriend? That's really impossible.
"It's possible because", she looked at him and he also looked at her. "Never mind".
"Because?" he teased. When he had looked in her eyes he saw her love for him.
"Because...I..." Tomoyo stammered as she blushed. Eriol finished her sentence.
"Because you love me", Eriol said frankly. "I see it in you're eyes that's why I know".
"Good guess", she said, looking at the dark skies again. "I'm still locked by your love...honestly".
"I'm flattered. And after what I did to you, you still forgive me", Eriol said, starring at the dark sky. Tomoyo looked at him again.
"That's love you know? Love is kind and forgiving. That's why I forgive you coz' I still love you. But it's okay if you won't return it. I don't mind", Tomoyo told him honestly. Then Eriol met her gaze.
"What if I fall for you?" he asked, seriously.
"That won't happen coz' you still love Kaho-san", she replied. Although she wishes he'll fall for her.
"What IF?" Eriol said, emphasizing the 'if'.
"I'll be happy and guilty", Tomoyo's eyes saddened. "Kaho-san will be angry at me". "Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe she wants me to love again and be happy. And that she doesn't want to see me lonely", he told her. Tomoyo averted her eyes.
"We'll know the answer someday..."she said. And yet again Eriol caught himself starring at her.
~*~*~*~*~
People we're at the burial of Kaho. Eriol hid his loneliness and tears. He cried inside and didn't let it show. Tomoyo was crying but good thing she had bought her sunglasses. As Eriol was the last to throw the rose to the ground where Kaho will be buried Tomoyo went near him. "I'll miss her", Eriol said, not looking at her. Tomoyo looked at the coffin.
"Me too", Tomoyo said. Her tears we're now gone. Eriol put his arm around her shoulder and walked home.
"Let's go", was all he can say, his voice so soft. They planned to go home since they experienced all the aches in their body. For they we're too tired because of crying.
~*~*~*~*~
Eriol was in his room and he never came down for lunch. Tomoyo made him some tea so that his stomach will be filled up a little. She went to his room without knocking the door. "I made some tea for you", Tomoyo said, as she put it on top of his table. Eriol was lying down and his back was facing on her. Tomoyo sighed because of no reaction he could make. She knows he's awake really. She sighed. Instead she sat on his bed. "I know it's hard but...you have to move on. Kaho-san doesn't want to see you lonely. It wont heal today but you'll soon live through it", Tomoyo spoke softly, comforting him. Eriol changed his position and faced her. There he saw him crying. Eriol sat up and hugged her. She was shocked really. And he cried over her shoulders.
"Why does she have to leave me? And why does it have to be her? Why?" Eriol sobbed on Tomoyo's shoulder. Tomoyo hugged him back.
"Maybe God is calling her", was Tomoyo's reply.
"Tomoyo I don't want you to go", Eriol free himself from the hug. "I wished you could stay here...longer". Tomoyo gave a wry smile.
"Okay...I'll stay here longer", was her reply.
~*~*~*~*~
That evening Tomoyo and Nakuru was washing the dishes until Katrina went near them. "Aunt Tomoyo do you like my dad?" Katrina asked. Tomoyo looked at her and it took her time to answer the question.
To be continued...
"What...she died?" Eriol said, as he clenched his fist.
"I'm sorry what happened to your wife sir. She really couldn't take the sickness of tuberculosis. I'm sorry..." the doctor said.
"That's okay", Eriol's tears flowed from his eyes. He couldn't take this! Kaho is dead! And for another reason he thought of Tomoyo. It's like he's paying the price.
