PART 13 Love Vanished Once (Regrettably)
"Thanks for having me over, Bra." Marron said with a bow.
"You're welcome anytime!" Bra said. The doorbell rang.
"I'll get it!" Bra called out. She opened the door and came
back in with a package.
"Who is it for?" Marron asked.
"It's for Trunks." Bra said. "From his fiancee'."
Marron paused. "From Nusumi..."
"Yeah. I'll bring it up to him."
Bra went upstairs. Marron looked down at the floor. She squeezed
her hand and felt the ring on her finger. The ring Trunks gave
to her. Her eyes were getting teary but she managed to keep them
all in. She removed the ring and placed it on the table. She
had to let go of Trunks now. If she kept the ring on, it might
change her mind and hang on to Trunks on a thin line of hope
and eventually, it will break and before she would know it, it
would already be late. If she hoped forever, she'll never be happy.
[Sayonara, Trunks] she said in her mind.

She saw you off again on the bus going away from the station.
Will she continue waiting for her loved one?
The young lady who embraced the courageous love letter,
The twilight in which her throbbing changes to a sigh,
It was as if, 2 years ago of mine, seeing and wanting to see, and
Surely, whenever love came true, I muttered.
Hugging the pretty girl's shoulder,
was this the boy who I waited for some time ago?
also without betting on the voice, only seeing him off,
conveying sorrow
grasping love letter of my heart, why did I walk with him
until the station?
It was as if, 2 years ago of mine, this scene
painful memories were resurrected and tears overflowed
sorry, it was cruel to make you wait, you're short of breath
Crying? Why? Always gentle.
now that love has vanished
[regrettably] once
near you, I can't do anything, and
I've become sad.
Now that love has vanished [regrettably] once,
I want to pray for the next love that comes true,
I want to see us.
Trunks woke up early and decided to have some tea. He went into
the kitchen and had a robot make some for him. He walked to the
living room to rest for a while. His mail was on the table and he
stopped to get them. He put down his tea and looked through his
mail. When he picked up the last one, the was something under
it. It was a ring. It looked like Marron's ring. He examined it
and found out it was Marron's ring. The ring somehow looked
familiar. He just couldn't remember where he saw it before.
[Remember, remember, remember...] he chanted in his head. Then it
hit him. Remember.
(flashback)
"But before I do..." He took Marron's hand and put something
in it. "I want you to have this."
Marron opened her hand and found a ring.
"Isn't this the ring I found in the chocolate?" she asked.
"Yeah."
"Doesn't it belong to someone else?"
"No. It was just something I got and I want you to have it."
"Why? It looks pretty expensive."
"Um... Well, you are my girlfriend, aren't you?"
(end flashback)
He gave Marron the ring to remember him by! And she did remember
him. He forgot about her and everything they had. But the ring
made him remember. Everything.
Marron looked at her hand. It was now free of the ring and she
was free of the painful memories. But she didn't feel so free.
Most of the pain left but there was still enough to make tears
come. So she did. She let the tears come. If she cried, maybe
some of the pain could be washed away. She thought more of Trunks
so she would cry more and more pain would leave. She cried her
heart out but the pain still stayed. She still loved him and
she tried to deny it. But it would be wrong to love Trunks. He
was engaged and it wouldn't do any good for her. Maybe it wasn't
the rain that almost kept her inside. Maybe it was her. She
wished for rain to come so she could find an excuse.
[I hate him!] Marron screamed in her mind. How could she not
hate Trunks? He broke her heart so many times and never thought to
fix it. But how could she hate Trunks? She loved him so much.
He was practically her reason for living.
She had to face the fact that Trunks was gone forever. He
vanished although it was hard to admit. The only thing she
could do was wait for someone else. There was always someone else.
Her father thought that his girlfriend, Maron, was the one for
him. But she left him and he found her mother. She was going to
find true love. Although not with Trunks and not right now, she
would find it in somebody much better. Marron smiled a little
but then started crying again.
[There's no one better than Trunks!] she thought. Tears
streamed down her cheeks.
[How in the world am I supposed to move on when I'm so in love
with him?!]
Then she stopped crying. She was so in love with Trunks and
it was so hard to move on when she had so much emotions for
him. But now, Marron understood love a little more. Maybe
the person you love can vanish but the feelings are always there.
