9: A Note
It was about a week later...
I had a day off, apparently, it was some Hyrulian holiday.
I had gone down to the kitchen somewhat out of habit, also somewhat to teach Duran about cooking.
Just three days ago the young Riolu had began playing with some cooking implements, making some kind of odd goo. I cleaned it up, but he kept making this or that odd confection, until I figured it out... he wanted to cook!
Since then I had been teaching him, nothing too complicated, I don't want Duran to hurt himself, but he knows enough to make a box lunch.
Akibin was also a big help, she'd always show me where this spice was or help me reach that meat, and she had been happy to do all this to.
"All right, Duran." I said, happy, "Today we'll try something a bit harder... soba."
"Rai!" said Duran, excitedly; he had never used the burner before.
Just then link walked into the room.
I got quiet... I didn't want to say anything to him...
I felt hurt whenever he came near... like he had cheated on me...
I know it's not true... We never were going out, in fact, he probably comes by to apologize, but...
...
He handed some berries to Duran; he must've really liked the berries from Hyrule.
I stood; chopping carrots, ignoring what was going on around me... pretending to be busy... or trying to, without much success.
Link tapped me on the back, I didn't move.
I heard him sigh, and then he put a piece of paper beside the board where I was chopping...
He left quietly and, one I couldn't hear him, I looked down at the paper.
It was a very fine piece of stationary, even someone like me could tell, and, in a world withouta way of mass producing paper like Hyrule, it must've cost a lot...
I stared at the paper... and I couldn't bring myself to read more than the first three words...
I may have fely like he cheated me... but I also felt like I had cheated him...
... Why couldn't I make up my mind...
It seemed easy enough for all the other girls here to do so, They could all could do anything and not give a care... I guess it's just harder for me...
Plus, all the other girls could make up their mind... and they could stat committed to whoever they wanted to...
Link... or Marth...
I couldn't... I loved both of them too much...
I also felt... like I cheated both of them for loving both of them...
I sat down, and Duran tried to comfort me...
He always seemed to know e=when something like this was going on... He always wanted to help...
Even though he couldn't speak... it was sweet of him...
I grabbed the paper and stared...
I just saw words... I didn't read... I didn't want to...
But I found myself doing so, anyways...
"I'm Sorry" It read, "I want to be with you... I didn't mean to hurt you... I broke up with Zelda... Can you ever forgive me...?"
There was a pause... then I found myself crying...
"I'm sorry Link" I said aloud, even though he wasn't near, "I just can't make up my mind...I think... I just don't know..."
I cried for an hour longer, then I said, "...Duran... Let's cook some more..."
Just crying wasn't going to help... I had to keep working until I could make up my mind...
...Link had wonderful handwriting...
