CH4:Change of heart- part 1
*Wow. Is this the right address?* Hitomi thought as she pulled into the expensive looking apartments. She climbed out of her car, and looked at the address Folken gave her over the phone. Yes, it was the right one. She felt really nervous for some reason. Folken told her to meet him at this apartment building if she wanted to talk to Van. She walked around for awhile, till she spotted him by a fountain in the courtyard. "Folken," she called. He turned toward the sound of her voice, and smiled.
"I'm glad you came, Hitomi" he said. "It took a little convincing, but he agreed to meet with you." Hitomi saw a tall beautiful woman with a short pink dress on, and long brown hair. She was almost as tall as Folken. Folken saw Hitomi staring at her, and gestured for the woman to come over. She smiled and took Folken's hand and he gripped it tightly. "Hitomi, this is my fiance', Nariya Yoo. She does some local modeling."
"It's nice to meet you, Hitomi." She extended her hand, and Hitomi took it. Folken then pulled Hitomi aside for a second, and whispered to her:"About what I said yesterday, don't think anything of it. I just wanted you to come with me so Van could see how much you looked like Cesia. He told me about you before, and when I saw you were the same girl he was talking about..........." Folken trailed off, and ran a hand through his hair. He gave her a wistful smile, and took Nariya's hand again. "Look, you better get up there. He's waiting for you."
Hitomi took a deep breath, and headed into the lobby of his building. She rode the elevator up to his floor, and knocked apprehensively on his door. A voice inside called for her to come in. She opened the dooer slowly and peered into the apartment. The inside was huge. It was a very fancy apartment with mostly black and white furniture. "So we meet again?" Hitomi turned toward the kitchen, and saw Van standing there watching her. He had on black sweats and a black muscle shirt. His hair was dripping wet, so it looked like he just got out of the shower.
Hitomi just stood there watching him. He looked like a model with long black locks of hair hanging in his dark eyes. "Well, you wanted to talk to me. So talk." He walked over to the coffee table and grabbed a cigarette out of a little box. He was about to light it, when Hitomi interjected:"Those are bad for you, you know." He lowered the cigarette from his mouth, and stared at her quizically. "Why do you use them anyway? They'll make you sick," Hitomi managed to stammer under his brooding gaze.
"Because they calm my nerves. What do you care if I get sick or not?" Hitomi felt herself start to get mad. But she wasn't going to fight and argue with him. She came here to talk. "I don't really care if you smoke or not. I'm just warning you. You can kill yourself if you want to, but don't smoke around me." He stared at her for about a minute, then put the cigarette back in the little metal box. "Are you happy now?" he said with an irritated look on his face.
Hitomi smiled sheepishly. "Yes, thank you." There was another question she wanted to ask him, but she was afraid of how he would react to it. But she decided to ask it anyway. "Van.........Did you start smoking when Cesia died?" He expression went from shock to anger. His eyes were smoldering with fury. "And I suppose my brother told you about that?" he said angrily. "He had no right to tell you about her, and you have no right to ask me about what I do with my life! No one asked you to come here, so just leave okay?"
Hitomi eyes filled with tears. "Fine then. Just forget it. Someone tries to reach out to you, but you just keep pushing them away. Just be bitter and lonely for the rest of your life." Then she turned and ran out the door. Van stood there for awhile, contemplating what Hitomi said. For some reason, he was sorry he yelled at her. She had tried to reach out to him, but he had turned her away..........Van ran to down to the parking lot to see if he could still catch her. By the time he ran all over the residence he was completely out of breath.
Van went to the office and asked the clerk if he had seen where Hitomi had gone. "Girl with short brown hair and big green eyes? Yeah, she left already. She looked real upset. What happened?"
When Van returned to his apartment, he saw Folken sitting on the loveseat with a cup of coffee. He didn't even look up when he said to Van:"I see you managed to scare her off." Van gave him a dirty look, and sat in the black reclining chair by the window. "Why don't you shut up and stay out of this?! If it wasn't for your meddling, I would'nt have to deal with this in the first place. No one asked her to come here anyway." Then a sullen look came to his face and his voice took on a sad note. "Besides, you know how much she looks like Cesia. It hurts when I look at that girl. Cesia was everything I had in the world."
"Her death taught me that nothing good in your life lasts. Love, happiness, it's all a memory now. I don't think I'll ever love anyone again. And certainly not that girl, if that's what you're trying to accomplish by letting her come over here today."
"Oh, you're way off base with that. I would never even think of trying to hook you guys up." He gave Van a bemused look and went back to drinking his coffee.
* * * * * * * * * *
When Van woke up the next morning, he found himself thinking about Hitomi again. For some reason he was sorry he yelled at her. He had never been sorry about being rude to someone before. So why was he sorry now? He put on a black suit with a black tie, and black shiny shoes. When he came downstairs, Folken was already down there and he had breakfst on the table. "Good morning, Van. Sleep well?" Van just grumbled something unintelligible. Before he started eating, he remembered he wanted to ask Folken something. "Ummm, you know that girl that came over here yesterday? Well,.........I was really mean to her, so I was wondering if......" He stopped speaking when Folken handed him a piece of paper.
Van gave Folken a quizzical look. Folken gave him a secretive smile, and went to the refrigerator for orange juice. "It's an address. I don't think I need to tell you who's it is. I had a feeling you'd want it. I think she'd really appreciate your visit, don't you?" Van began to blush fervently, and told Folken to not to jump to conclusions. When Van finally left, Folken smiled to himself and realized Hitomi might be the one that will heal Van's heart..............
