Letters and Romance
CHAPTER 1: The Letter
It was lunchtime, the well known ladies man Oshitari, Yuushi is on his office. He had been staying there for an hour ignoring the phone calls from ladies whom he dated. When it comes to being honest, he is actually tired of dating several ladies. It's not his fault if ladies think he is irresistible, it's just that those ladies are the same. If only he can find a girl who is different from other girls maybe he'll get serious or, even think of settling down. But so far he didn't, again, they are all just the same.
There was a knock on the door, it was his secretary.
"Sir all your appointments for today were already cancelled." the secretary stated and left his office.
"Looks like it's time to go for a walk," he sighed, "need some fresh air.
"Eight hours is almost done," Misaki, Kyoko thought while checking the blood pressure of her patient. She had been monitoring the blood pressure of the patient because the patient was hypertensive.
When her shift was done, she removed her cap from her head, put all her things in her bag and went outside.
She went to her favorite destination, a coffee shop near the park. All she needs right now is a relaxing moment after having a busy shift. Being a nurse can also be tiring especially if your on duty from 2:00 to 10:00 and you have to be back by six o'clock and deal with different types of patient with different cases.
She entered the coffee shop gave her order at the counter and rushed off to the table on the corner which happens to be her favorite spot because people won't really notice that she's there.
When on duty her mind is filled with different information that are related to her patients. From the diagnosis of the patient to the types of drugs that were ordered for them and their effects to the body. But after duty she's feeling the emptiness inside her. She had been like this for the past three months.
The waitress gave her order. While trying to finish her cappuccino she took out a piece of paper and a pen from her bag. She started scribbling something on the paper. When the cup was empty she left not noticing that she left the paper on the table. When she was about to open the door, a guy with a midnight blue hair and wearing eyeglasses opened the door first and entered the coffee shop but she didn't care and left.
Oshitari entered the coffee shop and noticed the woman with long straight brownish hair wearing white clothes. He thought she was cute but he didn't really care because he doesn't know her anyway. He's not really in the mood to meet any women but he knows how to appreciate a woman's appearance.
He proceeded to the counter to give his order. When he spends his time on this coffee shop he usually chooses the tables that are located in the middle to be noticed by women and flirt with them. But this time, he went straight to the table on the corner because he's not in the mood to be sociable to anyone, especially with women.
Oshitari went to the table on the corner and sat on the chairs, then he saw a piece of paper on the table. Something was written on it so he took it and read it.
I'm so tired with my life.
I feel so frustrated and empty.
Sometimes, how I wish!
that I can vanish from reality,
even for just a minute.
If only I have the answers then maybe,
I will be able to get away
from this frustration and emptiness.
Oshitari grabbed a pen and wrote something on the paper. He hasn't really been himself for the past few hours and he can't understand himself for writing a reply on that paper either.
After finishing his coffee he left and went home. All he wanted right now is to have some rest.
Kyoko was having a stroll on the park. This had been her habit every after work. She decided to sit down on the bench. She remembered the paper that contains where she poured her heart out. Writing her emotions on a paper has been a habit and also writing her diaries has been a part of her life. She has been a sentimental and emotional type of girl her whole life.
She noticed that the paper wasn't in her bag. Then she thought that maybe she left it on the coffee shop.
Kyoko went back to the coffee shop and went straight to the table on the corner. She saw the paper and noticed that a reply was written.
The way you wrote it scares me coz this really looks like a suicidal note. Don't worry, you're no the only one who's getting tired of your life. I'm feeling the same way but still us continue living and you'll get out of it.
Upon reading the reply, Kyoko smiled. She took a pen and a paper from her bag and written something on it then she put the paper that she had first written and left.
This is my first fanfic, so I'm expecting any comments or constructive criticisms to help me improve my writing.
