::February Love::
Summary: Her love comes and goes. Finally she found her true love in a certain February. But, he was married… now what?
Here I am again, for the second time in a week. I think I am insane… hahhahaha….
Put that aside… I finished drafting this story in my class account. Thankfully I didn't get caught. This story originated from my birthday. Last year, I found a book saying that my birthday has a special meaning. I never thought about that. So, I made this story based on Daa!!3 characters to tell you that special meaning.
Enjoy!

Chapter one: The first occurrence

I rose from my seat facing the guy in front of me. I bowed to him. "I'm sorry. I don't think I can accept you. It's not your fault. I, myself really think that you are nice and everything, but somehow I don't think I develop any special feeling towards you although we dated for quite a time." I grabbed my handbag that I put on the seat before. "I'm sorry to let you down." I bowed again before rushed out from the high class restaurant, leaving the guy I dumped with a diamond ring on the table.
"Miyu, wait!"
I heard him calling for me, but I don't want to turn back at all. It's true that I agreed to go for the blind date as my mum asked me, but that didn't meant that I need to have steady relationship with them. Plus, I think all of these guys pathetic. When they think they like their partner, they want to marry her right away without knowing them. I don't like that.
I followed where my feet dragged me from the restaurant. Passing through some crowd of people, I finally arrived at a park. In the middle of the park, there was a fountain with a couple of bench around it. I choose an unoccupied bench and brought myself there. I felt very tired. Tired from the situation happened around me. I lift up my head, looking to the stars above me. The night is still early, but I doubted I could find appropriate reason to give to my mum.
I sighed.
Does all the mum in the world will react something like this whenever their daughter turned 23? It's not like I will continue become single forever. I just need some time to find the right person. It's my life; I have my right in this. This was my 20th rejection. Still, I can't find the one for me. I closed my eyes and inhale deeply. After some time passed, I rose and went home.

-at home-
"Tadaima…."
"Okaeri…" a voice answered.
I took off my shoes and put it on the rack behind the door. Recklessly, I walked at the hallway towards the living room. I threw my bag and slumped myself to the soft couch. Aaahhh… how nice. My mum came in and sat beside me. I shifted my head from the arm of couch onto my mum's lap.
"Miyu, dear. You went to see him again right? So, how's your date?"
I grunted. "Mum…. Ask about my day first…."
My mum chuckled. I sulked. Then she patted me on my head.
"My apologized dear. So, how was your day?"
"Great… Tanoshi-san is really nice. I feel happy when I with him." I paused. "He proposed to me today." I saw my mum's eyes gleaming. "But I rejected him." She sighed.
"Miyu, honey. This is the 20th time you rejected a man who likes you."
"I know, I can't help it. My gut saying that he wasn't the one." I rose. "I'm sorry, because I didn't marry yet," with that statement, I stormed off to my room.
"I never said that…."

-next morning-
It was a holiday. After tidying up my bed and got myself ready, I went to see my mum. I kissed her cheek and waved goodbye. It was the day to relax, so I went out of the house and made myself free. Today, I wore a white spaghetti strap with a dark purple cardigan matched with a knee length skirt. To complete my appearance, I brought along my sling bag which I slung over my shoulder. I never thought where I should be going. I just follow my gut. While walking, I smiled to whoever I met along my way.
A few hours later, I grew tired. Well, I still a human being. With the sun on my head and calculating the route I took earlier, no doubt I will grow tired. I can feel my throat getting drier and drier in every step I took. I turned right on the first junction I found, hiding myself from the sun in the building shade. Luckily, there's a stall in the shade. I went to the stall and place myself on the stool there. His son, I think, judging from his similarities, came to me to take my order. After ordering, I sat there check out the surrounding.
I never had been here before. Well, I do knew this place, but I never stop by. There I sat, opposite a café across the street. If you asked me, I don't think it's a good idea making a stall besides an air conditioned café which can stand out in the crowd whatever the weather is. But, I bet this stall has its own specialty. I smiled to my own judgment.
My orange juice came. I sipped it. The juice came down the throat. How refreshing… I sipped my juice slowly, my eyes still wandered around me. Suddenly my eyes caught up with something. Or perhaps someone. Across the street, there's a guy sitting in the café by the window glass. He was alone drinking coffee, at least that what I thought about. He's hot. He's hotter under this kind of heat. And I think I like him.
Since my stool was near the stall where the owner was, I asked him the date of today.
"Today is Saturday, 29th February."
That's it. Nice timing. 29th February is the only day that a girl can ask for a date to a guy without worrying about the rejection. Why? The guy who rejects a girl's wish on this day need give the girl presents to show that he was sorry. I am not a girl who believed this thing. But it never hurt to try, right? So I brought out my note pad which I always brought along with me. I scrambled something onto the notepad. I tore the rear end and folded it.
"Mr. stall-san, can I borrow your son?"
He smiled.
So, I gave the boy my note and pointed to the person inside the café. He nodded and crossed the street and went straight inside the café. At that current time, my heart was in chaos. I thought of embarrassment; why the heck I'm doing this? Am I that pathetic? But in the same time, I prayed that he answered my note.
From this side of road, I saw the boy gave my note to the person. Then, the boy pointed at me. I think my face became red. Did he saw me? Then he said something to the boy. I wondered what it was. After that, he stood up and went to a waitress. The waitress seem took a liking to the guy too and she seemed really happy when the brunet guy talked to her. I grew impatient. And pissed off. He seemed like asking for something, and made the waitress unhappy. The waitress gave to him something and he gave some money in exchange. Then he walked out the café and looked at me. He lifted up both of his arm to the air and spread his fingers. There's some red marking at the palm of his hands. The right palm written 'O' and the left one written 'K'. Now, let's add both of the words, it became 'OK'!!
There's indescribable feeling in my heart. I gasped. I never thought he will agree with it although I did pray in my heart. I nodded my head to him a couple of time. Then I went to the stall owner to pay my drink. With good tips. I can't wait for tomorrow. Do you want to know what I wrote on the paper?
'Are you free tomorrow? Meet me here at 3pm"
And now I needed to get ready for tomorrow.
xoxo:End of Chapter 1:xoxo
29 February – on this date, Scotland had passed a law that allowed women to propose marriage to the man of their choice. Tradition states that any men who decline a proposal on that day must pay a fine that could range from a kiss to payment for a silk dress or pair of gloves. Their refusal for doing this will attract ill fortune to themselves. This belief is also called "The Ladies' Privileges"
That's the end of chapter one. As you noticed, I did some changes about the law, but its ok. Since I called this story 'February Love', I hope I can finish all three chapters by this month. Wish me luck. (now I think I am insane… with all my assignment still promise you readers for the story -sigh-.)
Well, please review me. You can add some suggestions if you want and I try my best to add it into the next chapter.
For 'complex relationship' readers, don't worry. I won't neglect the story. It just a matter of time.
Have a good day to all!
