chapter 11
Rukawa packed his bags already. Ever since he received the news that Miyagi's injured, he'd been ordered to pack up and leave for Shohoku. Kiyota watched as the pale boy packed his stuff.
"You are returning to Shohoku, eh?" asked Kiyota.
Rukawa nodded.
"Well, goodbye, then," Kiyota replied. "Want anyone to send you to the train station?"
Rukawa shook his head, signalling, no.
******
"Bon Voyage" and "GoodBye Hana Sakuragi!" sign is placed at the gym.
The girls' and the guys' basketball team are having a farewell party for Hana. Coach Anderson and Coach Troussier watched as their teams laughed happily with Hana. Even though they were reluctant to let the girl leave, they have to. Her home country comes first.
"I'd like to thank both basketball teams for making my stay here memorable, and to Len, thanks for everything, to Vivian, even though we don't usually hang out, you are my first friend. To Billie, you helped me a lot as well, thanks for that," Hana started her speech. "To Honey and Kerry, thanks for giving me some lessons well learned, about point guarding, and I will miss our occasional one-on-ones,"
"Thank you for accepting me into the team and give me a lot of experience, coach Anderson, and to all others, thank you,"
******
That night, after the party...
"Hana, meet me outside your apartment," Len whispered. Hana nodded.
"Len wanna see you tonight?" asked Ryu. Hana nodded.
*****
At the door...
"Yesterday, I bought two Dry Cell tickets for us to watch. I heard that it's a pretty good band," Len said.
How do you know that I kinda like rock?" asked Hana.
"I just... well, guessed. But, unfortunately, you couldn't be there with me," Len murmured.
"I'm sorry," Hana apologised.
"No, it's okay," Len said. And they said their goodbyes again.
******
At the airport...
"We'll definitely miss you," Billie said for the rest of them.
"I'll miss our one-on-one," Kerry said. "Now I only have Honey to compete against,"
"I'll prove to you that I'm a tough competitor, Kerry," Honey retaliated.
"I'll miss all of you as well, especially the three of you," Hana said, and hugged the three girls, Billie, Honey and Kerry.
"I'll miss you very very much," Len said. Hana and Len hugged.
"Sumimasen," Hana whispered to him.
"Gomennasai," Len whispered back.
"What are they saying?" asked Kerry.
Vivian answered, "They are both saying sorry to each other,"
"Both are different words," Honey replied, apparently confused.
"It both means 'I'm sorry' or I apologise," Vivian stated.
"Goodbye, Vivian," Hana said. "You are my first friend, I'm thankful for that,"
Vivian nodded.
"Keep in touch, ok?" asked Honey. Hana nodded.
"Everyone has my email address, right?" Hana asked. Everyone nodded. "Email me when you guys missed me,"
"Ok," they chirped.
"Calling for first class passengers, and PPS club members for Flight SQ212 to Tokyo, Japan,"
"Well, Hana and I have to go now," Ryuen said. Mr. Sakuragi had booked two first class Singapore Airlines tickets for the flight to Japan. After what had happened to the American Airlines, Mr. Sakuragi had taken the precaution to use Asian-based airlines instead.
"Goodbye, Hana!" they all chirped.
"Goodbye!"
"Here's for you," Len said, and thrust a package to Hana's hands.
"Thank you, whatever it is," Hana answered.
****
On the plane...
Hana opened the package that Len had given her at the very last minute. She opened it, and gasped. Ryuen turned to look at it.
"He must have love you very much," Ryuen noted.
Len had given her a Vic Zhou single - Make A Wish. He had written something inside...
"Hana, I've always wanted to make a wish, the wish is to stay with you, now, and forever. I love you. Let us make a wish, Hana, love Len"
"So romantic," Ryuen said. "Too bad you won't know what the lyrics mean, except 'make a wish ,make a wish,'"
"Onii-chan, I could find its translation on the net," Hana said, and tsked tsked. A tear fell to her face.
"Did you break up with him?"
"Yes, both of us thought that its for the best," Hana answered.
*****
Hospital...
"Dad, why do you need to call Hana and Ryu home, I'm fine, really!" Keisuke muttered. One measly accident during badminton practice and both his parents decided to call the other Sakuragis home, it's as if it's a chronic injury.
"Kei-nii-chan, how are you?" asked Hana.
"I'm fine, Hana, what about you?" Keisuke asked. Hana stood still.
"I'm fine, Kei-nii-chan, its just a heartache," Hana answered.
"Someone broke your heart again over there?"
Hana shook her head. "No, it's a mutual breaking up,"
****
School...
"Minna! I'm BACK!" Hana shouted to the class.
"Sakuragi!" shouted the other classmates. "Welcome home,"
"Youhei!" she shouted and hugged her best friend.
"Good to have you back," Youhei answered her.
"Nobody sat at your seat for the whole month," Youhei told her. "Rukawa did a couple of times when he went back, though,"
Hana sat at her usual seat.
"So, how was life at the States?"
"Wonderful, the basketball teams are great, my brother's spoiling me over there, I didn't get involved at street fights, thank goodness, just plain wonderful," Hana answered.
"Got any guy?" whispered Youhei. Hana nodded, sadly.
"You don't seem to be happy bout that," whispered Youhei again.
"We broke up, it's for the best, he wanted long distance, but I don't want him to suffer because of it," Hana explained.
"Hana," called somebody.
"Rukawa," she replied.
"Let's talk at the roof," he said.
Hana nodded curtly.
****
At the roof...
Rukawa watched the scenery down there, while Hana watched the sky.
"Welcome home," Rukawa said.
"Thank you,"
"Hana..."
"You don't deserve to call me that anymore," Hana replied.
"Ok, Sakuragi, then... I still love you,"
"Rukawa, you left me, you broke my heart, but when another person comes and mended it, you want me back?" Hana asked.
"My dream is true then," Rukawa said to himself.
"What dream?" asked Hana.
"I dreamt that you left me and love somebody else," Rukawa answered, and watched Hana's face.
"Nani?"
"Yes, I dreamt of that, every night at the youth camp. I'm pronounced the worst player, because I just couldn't concentrate in the game. All I ever think about is you," Rukawa answered. "I want you back,"
"I did fell in love with somebody else. It may not be as hot as our love, but he gave me a sense of comfort that I didn't receive from you, he's very charming, I like him a lot. He somehow helped me to forget you and remind myself, there's lots of guys out there," Hana said.
"When I was called back, both of us didn't want to part, but fate made us to separate. Neither of us can bear long distance relationship, although he wants it, I don't want to burden him with it," Hana continued. "I still feel some pain about the break up now, if you want to mend it, give me time,"
She left after saying that. Rukawa stood dumbfounded. He shouldn't have dumped her at the first place.
*****
New York...
"Mom, mom!" Len said. He entered the silent apartment.
"Master Len, Ms. Adam had just been sent to the hospital!" the white housekeeper informed, her eyes bowed down, sadness creeping up on her.
"What happened, Rosie?" asked Len.
"I don't know, Master Len, it's happened so fast," Rosie answered. "I think you should go to the hospital, now, Master Len,"
*****
In a blind rage, Len went down the apartment, and drove his car recklessly to the hospital.
