Yes, I am Brazilian and this is my second attempt to make an English fanfic. I know that the first chapter is not so good, so I hope that this second will be a little better. Thank you for read and for review, I have an idea about continuing this, so I will make more four or five chapters for this history and too I will rewrite the first chapter^^
Even After Years, I still love you
"...That's why, we are grateful." After the speech, the auditorium in the gigantic hall formed for diverse students, applauded the roses that today, finished they third year in Lillian.
Sachiko the former Rosa Chinensis and Rei the former Rosa Foetida, thanked everyone and gracefully exit the place, while in one chair, Yumi observed her Onee-sama disappear after she pass a door, patiently waiting for all the students be excused so that she finally could meet alone with Sachiko.
Night after night in the past 3 weeks, the girl stay wake until her body gives up, thinking about her life since she became the petite soeur of the admired Sachiko Ogasawara. In the start, she thinks that became her petit soeur just after have talk to her one or two times or to be released from something was wrong, something that don't can't exist in a serious relationship of sisters, because give and accepting an rosary is an decision that will affect your hole scholar live, because that person will become someone important to you.
She was happy just to be close to Sachiko, so when she have called her to a private talk in that night, and asks again if she would accept her rosary, her heart almost left her chest. After that, she starts to know better the other woman, until a point that Sachiko becomes someone important to her. Then, she said that she loves her, an innocent love between sisters. But now she is sure the love that she have for Sachiko is something more powerful and deeper.
That's why, the girl with hazel eyes have chosen this day. Before she could no see her Onee-sama again, she will tell her. So when Yumi notice that the others girls start to leave the place, she stands up and run to the rose Mansion.
"Lady Sachiko?" An employee said while with respect he beat in a wooden door of the several that had in the mansion of the Ogasawara family.
Behind that door, a beautiful room existed, with walls full of pictures and grooving details between golden and silver that formed worthy drawings of a great artist. The mobiles were expensive of elegant appearance how much like those that lived in that place. In the center of the place was a big bed, capable for two people sleep in without problem.
Under of the thick covers, a feminine figure was asleep until the moment where her sleep was interrupted for the beats on the door. Soon, the eyes of the woman in the bed had opened, showing a pair of sapphires that without happiness, one more time, opened for a new day.
In the Rose Mansion, Sachiko and Rei taken a few things from the table and after a last look on the place, they left the room and locked the door. In silence both girls had gone down the stairs and exit the place, closing the door and then walking to the entrance of the college, but then, the ex-Rosa Foetida stops and Sachiko looks at her with confusion.
"What happened, Rei?"
"Sachiko… When will you tell to Yumi?" Rei asks while the two of then looked at each other in front of the Virgin Mary statue.
"…About?"
"What you fell for her." Sachiko then close her eyes, while the other woman continue. "I already know Sachiko, you and Yumi-chan are my friends and I care for both of you."
"I can't." Sachiko said calm but with a sad look on her face. Rei then looks past Sachiko, seeing Yumi running in their direction. "Because I have already chosen to marry Suguru."
The girl with sapphire eyes then looks at the new person in the place, and sees Yumi looking at her with chock on her face. The ex-Rosa Foetida then sighs and silent wished lucky for both of them, before starts again to walk to the entrance leaving the two sisters alone.
"Yumi…"
"You will marry him…Even knowing that he don't loves you back." The second-year girl said with an evident sadness on her voice and face.
"Suguru is no more the person that I love… But because of my…"
"…Because of your family sake's you will do this!" The girl said in a desperation tone. Tears start to fall from her hazel eyes on her face. The elder girl put her hands on her petit soeur cheeks and Yumi hugs her, hiding her face on Sachiko's chest. "But what about your sake, Onee-sama?"
"I can't go against my father and grandfather. They already have decided my future and I could do nothing to stop this. Oh Yumi. I wished I could have been born in a world like yours." The ex-Rosa Chinensis said, putting her own arms around her petit soeur and hugging the girl back.
"You don't, but you can live in one. Because… Because I have fall in love with you…"
The woman on the bed, despite the calls on her door, have closed her eyes one more time, trying to get back on the world of dreams, the one place where she could see her again. But then, the beats on her door starts do be stronger, and soon the voice of the employee one more time made presence on the room.
"Lady Sachiko, excuse-me, I am entering."
"Try to be happy, Sachiko."
"Yumi…" The lips of the woman in the church unconsciously said, and her husband looks at his wife, then at the girl who is leaving the place.
His face then received a sad look, because he knows about the true feelings of that girl and the woman on his side. Sachiko stay in silence, not paying attention to the couples that happily comes to give them congratulations for the success marriage, only looking at the door at the church, seeing again and again the same girl exiting the place. Then, after some more minutes, the place was empty, and the new couple stays in silence, until the moment that the men finally start to talk to his wife.
"Sa-chan…" The woman doesn't answer and then her husband embraces her, and she, for the second time on her life, she cried in front of another person.
Two days later, Suguru answers the phone, and receiving a calling for Sachiko, he told to the person wait and then go to the dinning room where his wife still finishing her supper.
"Sa-chan, there's a calling for you." The woman nodded, thanking her husband and gracefully taking the phone in her hands. Suguru then exit the room, leaving Sachiko alone with her call.
"Sachiko Ogasawara." Soon the woman hears Sei voice.
"Sachiko! Did you know? Yumi leaves Japan yesterday!"
The woman eyes wide and the phone on her hands fall to the ground.
Soon the door open and the employee enter on the room. The woman on the bed stay in the place, not moving in her fake sleep while the girl in her room opens the curtains, allowing the sun light invaded the room and making the woman in the bed open her eyes again, covering her face after that.
"Sorry to disturb you, Lady Sachiko, but there's a call for you."
"In this time of the morning?" The woman asks, looking at the clock, showing 6:30 A.M. cursing the person who dare to call to her house in that time, she again, looks at her employee. "Why don't you say to call me later?"
"I say it, but I think it's very urgent. Is one of your friends, she says that you will pardon her later if you know what she have to say to you, Lady Sachiko. I am really sorry."
Two years after her marriage, her father and grandfather went to a friend's mansion, to talk about power, politic and negotiations about they families, but in the way back, they have an accident and unhappily they don't manage to survive. Sachiko's mother cries for both her husband and father, and her daughter stay on her side in the difficult moment, felling sorry for her. She loves her father and her grandfather, but in a way that don't make the woman fell sorry for then like her mother.
One month later, she and Suguru manage to divorce with the support of the family, her mother, most of them, because she knows that the marriage don't do any good to her daughter. She and Suguru never touch each other in these two years, so after sign the divorce papers, the woman for the first time in so many long fells free from every responsibility from her family.
"So, what are you planning to do now, Sa-chan?" Suguru asks with a gentle smile. The woman on his side smiles back and answers.
"I will find her."
"Alright I will take the call." The woman on the bed said, sighing and standing up after some minutes.
"I will take the phone for you, Lady Sachiko." The employee said and the woman nodded and the girl leaves the room. Sachiko then started to dress with more decent clothes face a new day.
Four years after her divorce, Sachiko is on a room, looking with interest some papers on her desk. Then, after minutes, she sighs and looks at the picture no so far from the chair where she was seated. In the picture, she see herself in the days where she studied in Lillian Catholics Scholl, on her side was Youko, her Onee-sama and Yumi, her petit soeur.
"It's been six years after the last time I see you…" The woman with sapphire eyes said, and then a man enter in the room, and then he gives more papers to Sachiko. "There something new?"
"I am sorry, Ogasawara-sama. But we still don't found the girl that you are looking for. She sometimes talk to her family using an phone, but even they don't know were she lives." He said and then the woman thanked him, in some minutes, Sachiko was again alone in the room.
"Yumi… Were are you?"
The employee then entry in Sachiko's room again and gives the phone to her, excusing herself, the girl once more leaves the place. Sachiko sighs and then presses a button of the object, hearing a very knowing voice screaming in the other line.
"… FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE! I'M WAITING FOR DAMN 30 MINUTES!!! WHY DON'T YOUR GUYS JUST WAKE UP THE ICE WOMAN AND GIVE THE DAMN PHONE TO HER?!!"
"My God…Sei?" The woman asks and the other line immediate went to silent.
"Sachiko? Finally! More some time and I wound go to your house and kick you off the bed!" The other woman said, in a happiness that almost makes the girl with sapphire eyes enter in a chock state.
"My… Why such scandal?"
"Oh! Just shut up and came to the airport already! I've called the others and they agreed, and hopefully I could get you too!"
"Airport? Why?"
"Sachiko! In some hours Yumi will be arriving Japan! She's coming back! Did you hear me? Y-U-M-I! And please don't drop the phone again! The other time you almost make me have a heart attack!
"Yumi…?" Sachiko asks don't believing in her hears. With luck, the phone still safe in her hands.
"Yeah! I was in the Fukuzawa's house when she called this morning saying that she will came back to see her family again. Luck I have huh? They will be waiting for her in the airport and so I decided to make a surprise and take everyone to there too and her parents agreed!"
"Alright…" Sachiko said, and then came a question in her mind. "But Sei, what are you doing in the Fukuzawa house in this time of morning?"
"Oh… Err… That, I was just… Uh… AnywaySachikoseeyouontheairport!" With that the other line went to silence and the call end.
Sachiko then looks at the phone in her trembling hands, and little by little a smile starts to appear in her face. A lonely tear of joy escapes from the corner of her eyes, while her mind screamed to her: YUMI"S BACK!!!!
Two hours after, Sachiko was with the others on the entrance of the airport, waiting from almost and hour to see the familiar face of her ex-petit soeur emerge from the people in that place. It's good to see everyone reunited again, Rei, Shimako, Sei, Yoshino, Noriko, her ex-Onee-sama, Youko, her cousin, Touko, ex Yumi's petit soeur, and even Eriko come from Only-gods-knows-were. The Fukuzawa family was there too, the only one that now will complete the reunion was…
Sachiko then, like everyone of they little group, looks at the airport where a gorgeous woman come to their direction. Her head was down, looking at the floor, so Sachiko could not see her eyes. She dressed in a coat and dark blue jeans and her beautiful a long brow hair falls like a cascade in her back, then, she takes a deep breath and looks up, her mature almost pale face enter in a chock state, while her hazel eyes, deep and more mysterious than Sachiko remember, looks at everyone with surprise.
Sachiko looks at the girl, now woman, who she was searching for eight years. She looks at that beautiful hazel eyes but there was something that take Sachiko's attention. Lonely. Then that eyes look at her and Sachiko smile, a smile far different from those fakes smiles that she have show from the past eight years.
"Welcome back home, Yumi."
The woman with sapphire eyes then almost don't recognize Yumi, she changed, not only in body, but too in her actions. The previous chock on her face now already have disappeared, showing a perfect lady mask, much like the same that Sachiko used for long years until the day she have bump on the girl in the Rose Mansion. Then she answered in a blank voice and a formality that equally chock everyone.
"Thank you, Mrs. Ogasawara."
