1 Beyond Your Smiles Are Tears
Epilogue: Understandings
~*~
The sun's rays crested upon my face and rose into the horizon and signaled another morning, another day. The massive, dark sky turned into myriad shades of red, then it turned into orange, into a breathtaking shade of yellow and finally lightened up, revealing its true beauty. Indeed, nature /is/ wonderful, mystifying… and full of vagueness.
Just like you, Nuriko-san. .
I wondered what time I slept last night and how long it took me to gather my thoughts about you. The question that was created in my mind lingered until the moment I closed my eyes and drifted into sleep.
"Ohayo gozaimasu, Chiriko-chan!!"
My thoughts were interrupted when I heard a familiar, sweet girl-like voice greeted me good morning. As I looked unto my side to verify that it was you, I noticed some dried traces of tears from your pale, ivory cheeks. Did you have a bad dream last night? Hmm… I don't think so. I was awake longer than you were. I should have heard it somehow… I guess it was your /silent/ crying, ne?
I looked at you again and I figured out something… I saw before.
Your smile /still/ didn't fit the expression of your eyes. I controlled myself and kept my mouth shut from spilling words in front of you, that somehow, later, I might—no, surely would regret. So instead, I smiled in return and greeted you in the same manner and thought of a nice topic that we can talk about.
"It seems like a beautiful day ahead, ne?"
"Hai, hai, Chiriko!! I'm looking forward to it!"
I refused to meet your gaze after you said those words. I just hoped that you really meant what you said and the smile you wore was /real/. Then, after some moments, an idea came through me.
"So, Nuriko-san, why don't you come with me to join the others? I'm sure they are waiting for us."
"Wakatte yo. Ikuzo, ne?"
"Hai."
~*~
After we ate breakfast, I again headed to my room and prepared my things. The island of Hokkan was very visible and we would go there soon. Just before I go to Chichiri-san's room with my things, I caught a sight of you looking up at the sky. You seemed distant.
As I headed to Chichiri-san's room, I pondered /again/, about you… hopefully, for the last time today.
I wondered, that, if someday, you would be aware of what I perceive about you. Then, if you would ask me about it, all I can say is that:
"I can perceive the loneliness you conceal and tears you hide…"
Maybe you would give me a glance of confusion… then understanding, and finally, acceptance.
Don't worry, for I /am/ also lonely as you /are/, I longed and still long for a mother's touch and a quiet affection of a family. I was separated from them since I was small... and maybe /permanently/ separated from them because of my destiny.
You may have other definition of the feeling we experience...I don't know...but I wish to. I hoped and still hoping someday you would open up to me so I can help you, and I can be an oniichan you never had, and you will be my oniisan in return.
Someday, I know.
But for now, all I can understand and attain from you is, /beyond your smiles...are tears./
With that, I entered the blue-haired seishi's room to discuss some things we would encounter and accomplish this day.
~*Owari*~
a/n::. Wai…finally…after a long, hideous time… gomen ne, if the last chapter seemed…rushed. I would like to say thanks for those few people who went all the way from prologue to here… Very seldom people read a fic about Chiriko, ne? Anywayz, I hope, you will review this…I really beg you…/sigh/…
c&c are really wanted!!! (although flames will be ridiculed at…) ^_^
ja!! Until next time!
