Turning back time
I have a question to ask… did you ever lost someone or somebody you love and you will do anything to get them back or to be with them again?

CHAPTER 1: Visiting an old friend
The sun is already in the west, scattering its wild rays in the whole place. A young woman is standing by a cliff. Below is the sea, roaring and splashing as it hit the rocky cliff below.
The young woman put some white flowers and mandarin oranges by a tomb. She smiles weakly as she looks at that tomb.
"How are you? I missed you so much. If only I can turn back time…"
She said sadly while thinking about the past.
"Do you remember the first time we met? It's a very chaotic day. You always tried to hurt me. But as time pass by, I'm started to know you. The real you, we still get to each other's nerves though."
"I missed all of those fun and annoying days, getting to know all each other as we grow up. Remember the school festival and the last dance when we're in fourth grade? It's so much fun. Do you know in the last dance… do you know that it's the day I learned that I like you?"
A lump suddenly formed in her throat and she has difficulty in speaking because of the pain. Little tears starts to brimmed in her eyes.
"it's also the first day you said my name. since that day I don't want to take my eyes away from you. I hide what I feel. I tried my best not to show it to you or any one else because I'm afraid you will distance yourself away."
"I'm, glad that we are still classmates when we reached junior high. We are all getting along except you. I really want you to join our group so you can see and feel what's it like to have so many friends but you're always inside your own world."
"then in middle high, we had the last dance again. I'm really glad you danced with me. you also smiled at me. a very beautiful smile. That is when I felt I'm truly in love with you. I wanted to confess what I really feel for you but you started ignoring me and you distanced yourself away from me. again. Whenever I go near you, you always go away. I felt so much pain. We are still talking to each other whenever necessary but that is nothing for me. It's senseless. I can't understand you anymore. I try to forget my love for you because I knew you can never love me back."
"I thought I succeeded in doing it so I end up with Ruka. I love Ruka a lot but my love for you is much different. I am always happy with him but I can still feel an emptiness in my heart. We finished high school, diplomas in our hands. That is also the day Ruka proposed to me and you happily gave us your blessings. I felt that emptiness in my heart again. After a year and a half, Ruka and I got married. Everyone of our friends are there, of course you as Ruka's best man. We are all smiles but deep inside, I feel lonely."
"I know that I cannot forget my love for you. I want to confess it to you for the last time but I can't. I don't have the courage anymore. That's the most regretful thing I've ever did. If only I have the courage and the strength to say that I love you at that time. I don't care if you can't love me back. At least I said it to you… now it's to late…"
The young woman said. Tears started to fall down on her cheeks. Her heart is full of pain and regret.
"Now, all I can do is look at your tomb and tell you about the past every time I visit you. Not knowing if you can hear me."
"Is it beautiful up there?" asks the young woman as she looks up in the sky.
She wipes her tears as she heard footsteps walking toward where she is. Then someone tap her on the shoulder. The young woman looks behind her.
"Ruka." Said the young woman.
"Are you alright, Mikan? Asks Ruka.
"yes I am. Said Mikan.
"let's go now." Said Ruka.
"okay." Said Mikan as she stand up.
They look at the tomb again with sadness in their eyes. After that, they leave the tomb bearing the name:
NATSUME HYUUGA
DIED: AGE 20.
