WISHING ON A STAR (PART I)
"Starlight, starbright, the first star I see tonight; I wish I may, I wish I might, have this wish, I wish tonight." I was at my 'wishing cliff'. It is where I go when I want to be alone. I called it the 'wishing cliff' because it was so high and it made me feel like I could touch the stars and talk to them. That night, I wished what I've been wishing for a long time. The skies have gone darker and the air colder, but the silence and the serenity of the place made me stay. "Wishing again, Botan?" I didn't turn to know who it was. I knew it was Master Koenma. He was my master ever since I accepted the job of being an 'angel of death'. He was serious and moody while I was always genki and mild. Our fights at first became the start of our beautiful friendship. Yes, it has been so long. I mean very, very long. Hmm, I didn't notice how fast time flies (since I stopped counting, that is). He walked towards me and sat by my side. I felt the sudden warmth of his presence and the smell of his cologne, which I had grown familiar with. "So Botan, what are you wishing for this time?" He asked. I looked at him and said, "If I tell you that Koenma-sama, it may never come true." It may never really come true anyway. I thought to myself. He moved towards me and faced me. "Well, I've got news for you." He said with excitement. "I could push you over and murder you." I teased with a devilish grin. He just smiled. "Well, anyway," he continued as he took my hand in his, "Ayame and I are going steady." I pulled my hand, stood up and faced the stars. "Why didn't you grant my wish?" I whispered. With a forced smile, I turned to him and said, "wow! I'm so happy for you." I wasn't sure if it sounded sincere enough but I knew that it came from my mouth and not from my heart. There was a pang of jealousy in me that I could not understand. "Yeah, she told me this afternoon, when I met her at the hall. I'm so happy!!! But. you'll help me, won't you? You'll tell me what to do next, right?" "Sh.sh... sure Koenma-sama, sure. What are friends for?" A tear started to trickle but there was no whimper of any sort. Not even a sound, just that tear falling. And he was too elated to notice. "It was funny, I was happy I almost kissed her!" "So why didn't you?" There was a hint of sarcasm in there, but he ignored it. "You know what? To tell you frankly, I used to have a major crush on you. Remember when we first met? I know it was a long time ago. I used to get your attention by bossing you around and giving you orders non-stop. I guess, so many girls came in the way. But you, you never got a boyfriend. How come?" he prodded. I looked at him. His tall figure that he seldom let anyone see. His set-jaw, his expressive brown eyes and long lashes. I even want to remove his pacifier and kiss him softly on those red lips. "I was.ah.waiting for someone. I guess he just didn't come along," was my reply. "I see, . hey, did you cry or something?" He asked, concerned. "Uh no! I . err . ah . I . I yawned. Yeah, that's right, I yawned." I turned my back and rubbed my eyes then I thought, "Oh, God that was close!" He touched my forehead and said, "Are you sure you're okay?" "I'm fine, okay." I replied, irritated but deep inside, I was nervous. "Okay, I'm sorry. Don't get mad." He backed off. "No. I'm not mad." I assured him. "Ko. Koenma-sama?" I softly called. "What is it?" He answered. "I'm glad I've known you. Thanks for the friendship, especially for the undying patience during my mood swings. I.ah. I'm really grateful." I stammered. He laughed and said, "I should be the one telling you that, Botan." Tears were freely falling as I faced the other way. I couldn't say, " I love you, Koenma-sama. You're the one I've been waiting for." I didn't have the courage or the mere urge to do so. Besides, it was pointless. pointless for both of us. He's happy with Ayame and I'm aware of my frustration. "Hey, don't be so melodramatic about everything." He kidded. "As if I'm going to die or something, you know." Then he nudged my elbow and tickled me. I merely smiled, not being in the mood for jokes. "Well, I got to go. Will you be fine here or would you want to go with me at Genkai's temple?" He stood up, ready to leave. "I.uhmm. I'll be fine here. You go ahead. Good-bye Koenma-sama." I didn't dare face him. "There goes my chance. My chance to tell him what I really felt." I thought. Yes, there really was my chance. and I lost it. Now it's too late. So much for that night. That wasted night. So much for Koenma. A week passed by and I got busy with my work and with my friends, Keiko, Yukina and Shizuru. I had little time to visit my 'wishing cliff'. But I couldn't forget that little incident with Koenma-sama. Finally, I had found time to take a break and go back to my old habit. So I left the temple, rode my oar and set for the cliff. "Starlight, starbright, the first star I see tonight; I wish I may, I wish I might, have this wish, I wish tonight. It was a cold night. The moon shone and the stars were twinkling. I tried to enjoy the wind against my face. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. "Wishing again, Botan?" The voice soon made a tear flow. Does he love me? Did he ever feel the same way? Will it happen again? I opened my eyes. I may never know, but then again, I still had the stars.
