Beautiful As The Sky
The orange ball glimmer in his hands as he sat down at the cemented ground. Both of his hand gripped the ball tightly, directing his pains towards it. He felt sad, angry and alone yet there was something within him that lightens his dreary mood away.
He knows what was it and he already accepted what fate had beheld on him. But, hunted by past memories, he could never leave everything behind. Deep within him, he wanted to explode. To do what he normally never does and to shout curses to the whole world. Although he didn't…and he wouldn't.
How calm and composed was he, they would always say. How blessed and perfect he is, they would admire. But he isn't blessed and moreover, he isn't perfect. He doesn't want to be perfect.
"Hey Kenji-chan, sitting there with your own thoughts again," a voice complained behind him.
She took the ball that he was clutching so tightly from his hands and started to bounce it up and down the pavement. "Come on, let's play basketball. I think I'm getting jealous with your thoughts. It seems like you wanted to be alone with it rather than with me," she said and pouted childishly at him.
He only smiled and the feeling of emptiness lifted out of him.
She was always like that. Always smiling, energetic and animated with life. She always make his lips twitched into a smile and more often, she always make his stomach aching because of his continues laughter. She was his light. His life.
The day they had met, he would never forget. It happened right on this place and at this time. Here at the public court near the lake that afternoon as twilight breaks in. He was practicing that time when suddenly he missed a shot and the ball bounced out from the basket's rim sending it flying and sailing—directly at her face.
It hit her forehead that was sticking out of the bushes and knocked her down. He hurriedly ran to her and found her lying on the ground with a huge red mark on her forehead.
"I think I see stars. Beautiful stars…" and he laughed uncontrollably.
It seems like she was hiding behind the small bushes and she was there, just watching every move he make.
From then on, he learned how she loved basketball but her parents wouldn't let her play or even touched the ball. He asked her why however she didn't told him the reason behind it and quickly dropped the subject whenever the conversation would lead to that.
He gritted his teeth as his fist pounded the asphalt pavement where he was sitting.
After that, they had become fast friends. Until finally, he was getting to like her. Loving her sweet smile. How her emerald eyes would sparkle whenever she laughs. The way she pouted at him and whenever she would wait on the court for his team to finish the practice. She was always there whenever he had a game and would always cheer him up…in and out of the court. She was everything he couldn't ask for.
He knows he was falling…deeply fast with her. Until he finally got the nerve to confess his feelings and her face-hardens.
"No, I can't, we can't."
Her words struck his insides like a knife. He was sure she does love him…but then, why? Why can't she just admit it?
He was left with his own thoughts, with his own anguish and hatred. Everything had changed since then. She would avoid him and would only nod whenever they crossed each other's path. She was always busy, her parents would say and during his practices, she wasn't there.
"Why?" he had asked as he gripped her elbow tightly.
She just shook her head. "I can't love you…" was her words; it was like a lightning had struck him at that very spot. She left him in perplexity. She was now like a huge jigsaw puzzle to him. What is behind those sad eyes confuses him greatly than he had expected.
She was not telling him something he should know…
The days had pass by in front of his eyes in a blur. He didn't care about anything else but only basketball and his studies. He also avoided her for the look of pain written on her face was hard to bear.
Until one fateful day…
To be continued…
