Hello guys and girls. I am back with my fifth story… I hope you all like it…
The Uneventful Date(Chapter 1)
Begins here…
"…and then Miyu came, being half an hour late, gorgeous as ever, dressed in a white shirt and light pink cherry blossom flower print skirt which reached her ankle. Her smile was intact and hair let down as ever. I am so absorbed in her beauty and she is so absorbed into smiling at me, that none of us noticed that speeding red car which was approaching Miyu with a maddening rate. Then within a second, before I could react and pull Miyu over, that car came and slammed Miyu; blood all over the road and the pavement. There was no way Miyu would have survived. I froze, my feet seemed to have paralyzed, and my emotions were blurring my vision. My beautiful Miyu died right before my very eyes and I could do nothing to prevent it, prevent her agony, my agony. I could have pushed…"
Sweat tricked down 21 year old Kanata Saionji's face, who had been panting very heavily, courtesy of that terrifying nightmare he just had, right in the middle of the night, that too a day before his girlfriend's and his scheduled date. His disheveled hair had been further messed up due to continuous shuffling on his futon - again due to that horrifying nightmare. His auburn irises were holding an ocean of emotions; the dominant one being fear; fear of losing his beloved. His perfect and pale skin glistened with sweat from the discomfort he was experiencing at every passing second.
Along with the fear, sweat and discomfort; little drops of saline water found their place at the corner of his otherwise sharp and focused eyes. The idea of losing Miyu, his girlfriend of 2 years and a beloved of 7 years even in a dream was scary for him. Anyone who knew Kanata would know that he is a man with immense pride so making him shed a tear due to fear was next to impossible but there was this one plain woman, with her candid simplicity and outlandish smile who did it, that too in a dream…
On another corner of Japan, in Tokyo, Miyu Kouzuki, the 20 year old blonde lay comfortably in her bed; her long silken terraces were spread all over the bed, her angelic and unconditional smile stayed plastered on her face, her pale skin shone in the soft moonlight. She was just so happy before going to sleep because her oh-so-busy-and-perfect-and-non affectionate-antisocial-nevertheless-sweet boyfriend had asked her on a date. He was not to be blamed for the busy part as being the CEO of the prestigious SAIONJI INC wasn't as easy as it would seem. The antisocial part is something that was infinitely slowly changing but the non-affectionate part is something that was embedded into him so it couldn't be helped and she was already used to it. In short, perfection was an understatement for this brunet haired Adonis of modern world…
(A/N: I know I went overboard with describing the two but it couldn't be helped….)
Back to Kanata, his heartbeat was doing cartwheels inside him. With a quivering hand, he reaches for his blackberry and hits his only speed dial number. Before the number could get connected, he abruptly disconnected the call. Pride was a big problem Kanata had and he knew it. He was the son of a monk and even though he stayed away from all the spiritual business, he knew frequent bad dreams always meant something. Over the time, Kanata was afraid to talk to Miyu, then was afraid to smile with Miyu, then was afraid to confess to Miyu, then he was afraid to kiss Miyu and now when Miyu was finally his, he was afraid to loose her…
Back to Miyu, her smile flickered and she woke up. Being awake on this ungodly hour never feels nice. Rubbing her groggy eyes, she glanced at the clock and saw it slowly ticking to 2:30A.M. She picked up her phone, lying on the nightstand and stared at it with avid anticipation as if waiting for a scheduled call. Call it déjà vu or something…
***L A T E***
Morning comes and both of Kanata and Miyu, in their respective dwellings began their day; the former very somber from lack of sleep, the latter very excited for time to tick to 5:00pm when she'll leave her home to her destination, a posh restaurant, where Kanata had booked a 'table' in advance.
Miyu was feverishly shuffling through her wardrobe for the perfect outfit and as soon as her eyes landed on her cherry blossom printed skirt, she knew she found her perfect dress. She coupled her skirt with a plain low neck white shirt and white stilettos. To give herself the final touch, she applied a light pink lip stain and wore a simple silver chain. Impatience was overcoming her excitement and when the clock on the mantelpiece chimed to 5 O'clock, Miyu was just so glad. Just as she was about to leave her room and descend downstairs to bid adieu to her parents, her mobile rang…
"Hey Miyu, ready for the forbidden date?" It was Nanami.
"Yeah and I got to hurry Nanami, Bye" said Miyu and disconnected the call and on having second thoughts, switched off her phone and dropped it on the bed as she knew that the over-sneaking friends she had would keep on calling, texting, and such throughout their date.
After all the drive careful and be safe warnings from her parents, Miyu finally made her way to her car. She was running 15 minutes late, but this time, Miyu had planned her schedule in a way which would not make her late under any situations… or so she thought.
At the same time in Heiomachi, in a temple, the protagonist of the story looked as though someone close to him had died. In fact there was a ferocious turmoil inside his head debating for or against him canceling the date. After the battle, finally his heart won; it was right for the heart to win as Miyu had been his girlfriend for two years and still they only had a handful of memories together. Deciding against his good decision, he stood up and dragged his feet to his room where he changed to a simple jeans and a v-neck white shirt. Hoping that Miyu would be on time and that too safe, he left the comfort of his house…or so he thought.
***L A T E***
"Damn! Damn! Damn it!" exclaimed Miyu as her eyes became glassy with tears, seeing the huge line of vehicles lined in front of her car. There seemed to be a very uneventful traffic blockage, which looked as if it would take days to clear.
"Kanata is going to be so mad and I'll have to wait for another two or three months for having another date… why is god so unfair…" Finally the tears dripped, non-stop and to add to Miyu's woes she, for the first time in her life, left her mobile at home.
The last time, and the time before and even before; every time when she was late; Kanata had lectured her, scolded her and above all got a bit disappointed by her late arrival.
"This shouldn't be happening" lamented Miyu, "No phone booth around, no train station around and the road is blocked" It had already been two hours and a half of her being stranded in the traffic "what will I do"
They were supposed to meet at 7:00PM sharp but it was already 7:45PM and after four glasses of strong coffee and 45 minutes of wait, Kanata's anger ebbed away to be totally replaced by fear. His nightmares and the fact that Miyu was not such a person who would keep someone waiting for her for such a long time… She was generally always late by 15 – 20 minutes but 45 minutes was something to worry about. To add to his woes, her mobile was switched off and the voice of the annoying waiter who returned again and again for an order was thoroughly pissing him off. When he was not able to take it anymore, he called Miyu's dad.
"Hello there Kanata, how are you? And has Miyu reached?" asked Yuu Kouzuki in a single statement.
"Miyu left home, when?" replied a Kanata who seemed to have lost his spine and didn't care to reply to Yuu's niceties.
"She hasn't reached? Why? She left at about 5:15" said Yuu who now was petrified at the thought of something bad happening to his precious daughter.
"Thank You Uncle, I'll call you as soon as she reaches" and Kanata hung up.
