Love is such a weird thing, You can never understand it, unimportant how much You try. I got my lesson.
It began about a week after my 15th birthday, and after weeks of Daisuke asking me out I finally accepted one date. After this I got to Takeru and talked with him about this. He really wasn't happy, but insisted that I should date him and see what happens. I could see a bit of despair in his eyes, did he love me ?
As I promised I went on the date with Daisuke, and what shall I say, it was wonderful. I lost every thought about Takeru at it and I really thought that I loved Daisuke. But there was still a weird feeling, I couldn't explain. I accepted new dates for the following weeks, and accepted of being his girlfriend. First I thought that we should hide our relationship, but something, a voice in my head, reminded me that friendship is built on trust, and if I'd hide this I could lose at least the friendship with Takeru. So I decided to talk to him about it, he really wasn't happy, I could see the despair in which he fell, but at least we still were friends although no longer so intimate as we used to be before. The other DDs weren't happy about this situation but were glad that I decided to tell him in private and didn't try to hide it.
The next weeks happened without anything important, the relation with Daisuke was still good, but somehow I began to miss anything. And there was Takeru, he began to look worse, he also lost his happy attitude. At that time he quit basketball and stayed most of the time at home. Even during the vacation he only left home to visit Yamato or Iori. Everyone including me got worried.
One day Takeru's mom decided to invite Takeru's cousin Rosemary for a few weeks, she has a special bond towards Takeru, it's difficult to describe, but she managed to keep Takeru out of Depression after his parent's divorce. Even Yamato was unable to help at that time, perhaps because he was part of the problem at that time.
After a few days after her arrival she managed to lighten Takeru a bit. Then we had a meeting, the first time for weeks, that every DD participated. At this meeting most of the DD met Rosemary the first time especially Daisuke who was attracted of her tomboyish way: He began to flirt with her and she flirted back. It was an odd situation, I should be jealous, but I felt more relieved, only my pride was hurt. After a few days Daisuke and I decided to break up and we did. I didn't know how to act after this, I didn't know if Takeru loved my still or if he got rid of it. But there was also a confusion in me, I didn't know if I really loved him or not, it was weird. A part of me wanted to confess to him, but the other told me that it would look like he was only a rebound. Just before Rosemary left, she insisted in a private talk with me. She asked me how I felt about her and Daisuke and about my feelings toward Takeru. I explained her that I was okay about her relation with Daisuke, that I felt somehow relieved not jealous. About my feelings I told her that I was still confused. She gave me an important hint, I should try to get the friendship which we lost back, perhaps I would understand my feelings.
So I did, it was very hard at the beginning, especially the apologies, but slowly we got back to our well-used relation. And with passing the years, I realized that I am really in love with him. Finally I was able to confess my feelings, he was very happy at this moment. It only took a few weeks until we got engaged.
Now we are married and expect our third child. He became a journalist and writes novels of which some are bestsellers. I fulfilled my dream and became a kindergarten-teacher. Daisuke and Rosemary also got married about a year after Takeru's and mine. He opened a noodle-restaurant in the US which grew very fast. They both expect their first child.
I really don't know what would happened if I decided to keep Daisuke's and mine relation secret, but I'm glad that I didn't…
