Thirty years later- part 2
Blue. Track loads of blue light coming from every corner, a girl falling down from the sky and a strange voice screaming, springing him awake…
"Wake up, wake up dear" he heard in the darkness and opened his eyes. The sun showered through the open windows, a forty seven year old woman was shaking him, tears in her eyes. He looked at her smiling and raising a finger to her lips. He brushed through her golden locks and whispered – I'm fine, don't worry sweet heart.
- It's this dream again isn't it? –She asked not looking up and still crying. - It won't stop, it just won't stop…
She trailed off and set up on the bed looking out of the window. –Maybe we should…
- No! He screamed jumping out of bed, as if he was burned by her words – Yui you can't!
- But why not, it's killing you, how long you are going to live with this guilt, you can't even sleep, in fact I can't remember the day you slept without screaming through the night.
- I can, and I'm fine! He exclaimed coming up to sit beside her.
- No you are not fine. I'm tired of living like this, I'm tired of lies Tetsuya, we've been doing this since day one, and Miaka is my best friend, I can't hold it inside any longer, I'm so, so tired- she cried into his shoulder, shaking with sobs.
- You can tell her when I'm dead, I don't have long anyway. I'm already fifty… -Tetsuya was silenced by the outraged look Yui spat at him, her eyes beaming with rage and hurt and a silent plea.
- Do you want to give me a heart attack, don't you dare… talking like this…- she screamed between sobs- you love this life as much as I do, this chance we have is one in a billion, maybe more. I cannot lose you- she whimpered
- Then don't tell them.
Tetsuya went up to the night stand and picked up his sun glasses, he turned to Yui giving her a wide smile-So how do I look?- he asked shining his spectacles.
She looked at him smiling with tear trucks still on her cheeks- like always- she said weakly.- We are meeting Miaka, Taka, Keisuke and Maio for lunch today, so we better hurry, its already 12 o'clock and you are still in your pajamas.
- Please tell me you're joking, is this today? Tetsuya asked with annoyance – Don't tell me they're bringing their kids too
- No, but I think Hikary is going to be there.
- Well that's a given, Tetsuya said averting his eyes
- I wish they would tell her about the book and their adventures, it would be easier to have a regular conversation when we're all together- Yui said wistfully
- They have their reasons, just like we have ours.
- So what is yours huh? Yui spat at him standing up
- Please…are we back to this again?- he looked at her for a moment- Alright, Keisuke, is my reason
- So?
- So he is my only friend Yui, he has been since I can remember, if we tell them: Taka will go insane, Miaka will hate my guts and I'll lose him. And I'm not about to lose my best friend, I haven't got many of those… You can understand it, can't you? He trailed off and started putting on his pants.
Yui stood there, looking at him for a moment, then she turned and silently left the room. They already had this conversation before, and every time there was the same conclusion. For the past ten years she wasn't sleeping well, and was waking up in the middle of the night from her husband' screaming, it was driving her mad, and there was no one who could listen to her, except her therapist, who was in fact sure that she had some mental disorder, but was too polite to admit it to her.
It was about 12:30 when the phone rang, and Yui was breathing into it frantically- we're on our way, sorry Miaka!
A woman on another line didn't seem like she cared about her friend being late for their lunch, instead she was sobbing into the phone something which sounded like parts of a sentence. Yui got extremely worried- Miaka, Miaka what's wrong? Can you hear me? -She asked shaking the phone in her hands, instead she heard Taka's voice which was dark and grim.
- Yui, grab Tetsuya and get to our place as soon as you can, don't bother stopping anywhere on the way, we've got crises here.
- Taka, what happened, why is Miaka crying?
- It's Hikary, she was taken- Taka's voice shook – she… the book, it disappeared with her….
Yui was on her feet, phone forgotten she grabbed her shoes, and ran out of the front door yelling at Tetsuya to hurry up. Just grabbing his car keys, and not fully understanding what the rush was, Tetsuya followed after his wife.
