Prologue
March 2009
Taka Sukunami took a deep breath in order to clear his mind. His thoughts being pulled in different directions, trying to put the words together on what he planned to say. For the longest time, he wrestled with his nagging conscience. This was not something he wanted to do.
It's not too late to back out. Part of him would say.
It's for the best. The other part of him argued.
He got out of his black Chevy Malibu. Dusk was approaching the Griffith observatory, bathing the building and grounds with orange red hues of the setting sun, as the sky changed from blue to deep violet. A light gust of wind blew his blue hair back. Taka stood outside the car, his thoughts weighing heavily on him.
"She should be here any minute." He thought. He had told her to meet him at the observatory at 6:30pm
A blue BMW 540i drove past him and found parking three spaces away. A familiar russet haired girl he had come to know and love for years stepped out of the car. The hem of her pink colored halter dress slightly lifted by wind as she walked towards him.
It was Miaka.
"Hi." She said softly when she stood in front of Taka.
"Hey there." He answered with a soft smile that belied the turmoil inside. "Let's walk."
"You wanted to talk to me?" Miaka started.
"Yes. I wanted to talk to you to say I'm sorry." He replied.
Miaka opened her mouth to speak but Taka placed his finger on her lips to stop her.
"Please let me finish, Miaka."
"What? Why?" Hazel eyes met with blue violet ones.
"I'm leaving Miaka. I have to go. I don't think I can bear living under your shadow. It's seriously eating me inside that I have to rely on you, when I should be the one taking care of you."
"But I love you, Taka!" Tears flowed from her pretty face. "We could make this work out!"
"I'm doing this for the both of us, Miaka. I don't want to depend on you on every single thing. I don't want you to hate me in the end just because I couldn't give you what you want. I couldn't be who you want!" Taka said
"I don't need anything or anyone else but you!" Miaka cried out "Only you!"
This is the extent of my love for you. Please forget about me. Goodbye.
Miaka's thought about that time in the book when Taka, or rather Tamahome, had broke up with her when they were in Xi-Lang.
"Miaka, this is goodbye. I'm letting you go." Taka said with a painful finality in his voice.
Miaka knew that he was not going to change his mind. She was speechless. Her tears freely flowed down her face as she watched him walk away.
Goodbye. She thought as her heart broke into millions of pieces.
