Author's Note: Hello there! Well I know there are lots of Fan fics that are
not completed but I assure, this is worth reading. At least this is what my
friend cum beta reader thinks. After reading this, all Jay Chou fans may
start flaming me! *hint hint*
Silence
Chapter 1:
Tsukushi's POV:
'Tsukushi, are you sure you are ready to move in with your distant cousin?' Rui asked worriedly.
'I guess so. I do not have any choice, my only option is to live with him,' I replied, feeling a little annoyed as I fold my clothes and pack them neatly into my luggage bag. This is the umpteen times he had been asking me this question. Well, I can't blame him because he is my boyfriend and he is concerned about me. 'Don't worry, I can take care of myself.'
'You are right,' Rui said monotonously. Following that is silence. That's one thing I hate about being with Rui. He doesn't talk much, most of the time I am the one who does the talking. All he does is to nod his head. Sometimes, I really wondered if he and I are really having a relationship. I see all other couples going for dates every weekend. Rui and I hardly go for any dates. The last time we watched a movie together was one year ago. Maybe after being together for one year, we have ran out of things to say. Maybe, he doesn't love me any more. I don't know. I don't know what he is thinking. 'Looks like you've already packed up. I better get going now.' Am I really a pain in the neck that he wants to get rid of as soon as possible? Can't he just stay for the night since it's my last day here?
'Rui, aren't you going to accompany me tonight? I mean I'm going and we are going to meet like only once a week,' I said, still couldn't believe that he is so unromantic.
'Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Besides, I want to go home and finish my music composition,' he replied then kissed me good bye. I knew it. I will never be the first place in his heart. That's what I'm frustrated about. It's always music occupying his heart. What am I to him? Nothing. For he wants music to be his wife, his son, his whole family! I laughed, amused by my own thoughts. I can now only pray that absence will really makes the heart grow fonder.
******************************* ~ Tokyo train station ~
All men are jerks! Rui takes me for granted and now, even my cousin takes me for granted! I have been waiting for my cousin for, let's see my watch, one hour and forty-five minutes. I tried calling him, but that moron switched off his cell phone! Wait till I get my hands on him.
'Are you Tsukushi?' I turned around. There, standing infront of me was the most comical man I have ever seen. I can't believe he is my cousin. What's with his hair? It looks like. . . clown's hair! Unable to contain my giggle, I burst out in laughter. I almost rolled onto the ground.
'Nice hair,' I said, still laughing away like a mad person who has escaped from the Institute of Mental Health. I may be enjoying this moment, but my cousin surely did not. I could see purple veins start appearing on his face. 'Sorry. Didn't mean to laugh at your wonderfully done hair,' I quickly apologised, then tried very hard not to think about his funny hairstyle.
'Next time you laugh about my hair, I'll have you thrown out of my house!' he bellowed angrily at me. Without waiting for me, he turned and walked towards the exit, leaving me to carry my heavily luggage. I can't believe he is so petty! It's not my fault that he has funny hair growing out of his head.
*******************************
~ In the house ~
'Well this is your room,' Cousin said, showing me my room. It's a little small but at least I have a roof over my head. 'When will you be working?'
'Next week,' I replied, putting my luggage onto my bed.
'Good. So next month you will be able to foot me rental fees.'
'What?! I thought we are cousins? How can you be so calculative?' I retorted
'Get this right. We are cousin, distant cousin. I'm a Doumyoji and you are a Makino. We have nothing in common. It's just that your mother happens to be my mother's half sister's daughter. Which means we have no blood relations. I'm being nice to you for letting you stay here. Besides, if you don't want to stay here, there are many who wants to.' I hate to admit it but he is right. My family history is very complicated due the fact the great-grandmother married my great-grandfather because she was pregnant. But the baby was not my great-grandfather's.
'Fine. How much is the rent?'
'¥130 000' he replied.
'That's expensive! My pay's only ¥200 000. After paying the rent I'll only have ¥70 000 left!'
'That's your problem not mine. Take it or leave immediately.' I can't stand him being so arrogant. Since he wants to leave, I shall stay!
'Fine, I'll pay you starting next month!' With that, I slammed the door behind him. What a great start to start a kinship. Doumyoji Tsukasa, I'll get you for this!
