Chapter 6: Alone with her...


In Rui's car after leaving the pub (refer to chapter 5)


'Thanks for your help,' Rui said the moment they were alone in his car. After she came to the rescue, he was very certain that Tsukushi was the girl that he was destined for. God had sent her to him when he needed help, be it the first time they've met back at the alley (refer to prologue) when he felt really empty or now, when he was in the awkward situation of meeting his ex-girlfriend.

'No problem, I only helped you to pay off my debts. There you go, we can forget about the amount I owe you,' Tsukushi replied with a sweet but nonetheless sly smile on her face. She really hoped that Rui would take up her suggestion and she won't have to pay a single cent.

'I thought you've forgotten about that night,' Rui answered with such a big grin on his face, it was impossible for anyone to not know that he was elated that she still remembered how they've met each other for the first time. Rui lightly nodded his head, and blushed lightly when he realized he was smiling like an idiot. 'I've never wanted you to pay anyway.'

Almost immediately, Tsukushi gave him a hard slap on his back. 'You've said it yourself, I did not force you to do so,' Tsukushi ecstatically announced as she gave a victory sign. Finally, all her debts are cleared and she could not be happier. In addition, she's alone in the car of Hanazawa Rui, one of Japan's most famous artistes. On that thought, she immediately beamed like a little girl who had found the joy of eating candy for the first time. Rui was amazed and amused by her reaction, eventually, he let out a soft chuckle. 'What are you laughing at!' Tsukushi stared hard at Rui as she was brought back to reality by Rui's laughter.

'Nothing much, just the look on your face,' Rui replied honestly. Tsukushi was obviously not pleased with his answer and continued to stare hard at him, promising a real hard punch on the face if he angered her further. 'Why don't I bring you to my favourite place? You can really see beautiful stars there, and you get to hear me play on my violin,' Rui instantly suggested, hoping that this would calm the ragging girl down. Tsukushi smiled deviously and nodded, contented with his reply at last.


At the school's garden


'This place is amazing! The stars seem to be brighter here!' Tsukushi exclaimed excitedly, as she lay down comfortably on the grass. 'Hurry up and look at the beautiful night sky! You'll never get such good view back on the streets.' Rui smiled as he sat down beside Tsukushi with his violin. 'Aren't you going to play?' Rui nodded lightly and started playing the violin. Soon, the garden was filled with Rui's beautiful yet heart wrenching notes that told his loneliness despite all that he had. As he was playing, Rui can't help but wondered if Tsukushi could feel how he felt in heart. He had hoped that his music will tell his tale to the girl of his dreams. After he had played the final note, he looked at Tsukushi, looking for clues if she had found out what he wanted to tell her – be my girl. Just as what he had hoped, Tsukushi sat up and rested both her hands on his cheeks. 'You are not alone in this world, you still have me,' Tsukushi whispered as her lips drew close to his.
