Wonderful Life
"Yesterday was really fun, Akihiko. I got to meet Kaoru's girlfriend, Mahiro's son grew up so fast…I still remember when nii-chan came all happy and gave us the news that nee-chan was pregnant, and now he has his own family." A 75 year old man stood in front of an elegant white marble grave, holding a flower bouquet in his hands.
"How much time has passed now, Akihiko?" He kept talking; tighten his grip on the bouquet. "Do you remember? It's been two years, time passes so quickly. But it still hurts."
The man got closer to the grave and left the beautiful golden flowers by the grave, touching lightly the letters on the marble. "These ones were your favorites, Baby Romantica, remember? I can't forget the first time I bought them to you. We passed through many difficult times, through so many things." His wrinkled hand passed over the letters "Usami Akihiko" carved on the grave.
"There were many times when I thought that we would definitely break up but then..."he started, closing his hand in a fist. "Then you would hold me and tell me that you loved me, and I would instantly fall and believe every word. And that's the reason why we stayed together, for what? 55 years? Do you remember all the stuff we got to do together?" He smiled sadly.
"So many memories… like when you were so happy because I started calling you by your name or when we went to England, remember we spent whole four years in there? All those years…my whole life together with you was absolutely wonderful." He felt tears threatening to fall from his eyes. "Such beautiful moments, of course there were bad times but you always managed to make me happy."
He crouched as much as he could, staring at the roses and remembering the discussions, the meals together, the insanity, the dates, the holding each other, the kissing, the making love… Then tears started falling silently in his aged face.
"I know I should have gotten over it by now but I just couldn't…I still can' could've lived much longer, but you kept smoking. I couldn't believe that you were to die from smoking when the doctors gave me the news. I always told you to stop but you never listened to me, baka." He wiped the tears off but more kept coming.
"I was speechless when I found out that you transferred all your novel's rights to me, as if you knew you'd die soon. You always took care of me, even when I got a job you kept buying expensive things for me. And right now you're still taking care of me, watching over me all the time, I know so.
"I love you," Misaki laughed a little remembering how difficult was for him to tell his lover those words. "I love you, I still do, so that's why I can't get over it and I'll never will because I have you in my mind all the time, wishing you were with me or… that I were with you."
"Akihiko, I don't know how much more time will pass before I can finally be with you again, but I'll live cheerfully through the years that are left for me because you'd like it that way." He stood up and looked at the sky, still his eyes damped.
"When you died I was devastated, after all those years you became like a part of me and then I lost you…" He said now smiling slightly, "I love you, I love you so much and I'll always love you. I really hope that you still remember me whatever you are now. Do you still love me…Usagi-san?"
He wiped the last tears, not caring if Mahiro and his family see him like that. He passed a hand over the top of the tomb and quietly turned to leave not knowing he would be reunited again with his lover in three more nights. His wish of being together with the man he'd loved since he was eighteen for the rest of eternity would come true at last.
