Hi.
Did you like the last chapter? Hope yes. Now, on with the story.
CHAPTER 9 - And back to USA
Jenrya's POV
"Hi dad. Thanks for taking me home." I said without staring my father's eyes.
"I'm disappointed! I thought you would be a better employee. You're so responsible. Or I thought you were." My father started his speech.
He took my bag and we started to walk through the crowded airport.
"I'm sorry, dad!" I said suddenly and went on "But I lied to you. I didn't go to Japan because I got a work. I went there just to discover why Ruki killed herself. I wanted to know why."
"Now I'm really disappointed! Get in the car." He said and opened the door for me. He had left my bag on the floor for me to take it and put it inside the car.
While my father was driving he murmured:
"My money, for nothing"
And then he said angry:
"A ticket to Japan isn't cheap, ok? It costs money and money is hard to find nowadays. Why do you still care about that girl?"
"Because I'm still in love with her, even if she didn't care a bit about me." I said looking at my father and then I turned me face to the window and stared at the streets.
"You're losing the best years of your life because of a dead person." He mumbled.
"Don't you have a heart? Did you ever love somebody? Guess not. I would die for her. I would do anything!"
"Of course I have a heart! Or I wouldn't love your mother. I know what's being in love, much better than you do."
I didn't answer and kept looking at the streets.
"Shiuchong is missing you. She said she has a lot of things to tell you."
"Uh huh. Thanks for telling me."
"Teen!" my father sighed.
****************
I opened the door of the apartment and got in. I was waiting Shiuchong to come and hug me, but she didn't care. She just looked at her hands very absorbed.
"Hey girl! Earth to Shiuchong. Wake up. You're looking like a zombie." I said worried.
"I'm ok! But I know an important thing."
"What?" I asked curiously.
"Follow me!" she got up and went to my room.
Closing the door slowly she looked at my face and said:
"I talked to Ruki. She told me that she can't rest in peace while you're here. But she doesn't want you to die, well not now. Go to a Spiritual Center! She gave you already all the signs she could."
"But where......."
"Where is the Spiritual Center? Near here, Right down the corner on your left. There is a woman there and she can tells you everything!!! I have to go now. Oh, by the way, welcome back." Shiuchong said and left my room.
******************
Two weeks had past since I arrived. My older brother was always trying to put me into blind dates. Today I was about to meet a 'wonderful girl' as my brother had said to me.
"Try this tie on. It matches with your shirt. She will probably think you're a really rich man and she'll do whatever you want and you know what I mean."
"I don't wanna meet this girl." I complained.
"Dad told me you have to forget that red haired girl. You can't live for a dead person."
I sighed and said:
"If you're so good at this kind of things, answer me this: Where is your girlfriend now?"
"She found a better guy. But now I'm free to find better girls too. Now it's better you go. She won't wait for you forever."
************************
I walked through the restaurant looking for the girl that my brother told me about. She would be holding a red rose on her hands.
Finally I found the girl but when I saw her face I wanted to run away.
'Halloween arrived earlier this year.' I thought and tried to hold back a giggle.
I kept walking and reached her table.
"Err. Hi." I said a bit shaken.
"Oh. You're Jenrya, aren't you? Wow, your brother didn't tell me you were so good-looking."
"Thanks." I said but I thought 'Yeah, my brother didn't tell me you were so ugly.'
I looked into her eyes, it was full of that gummy secretion from the eyes, but I kept looking, even if I wanted to throw up, just trying to be nice.
You're really pretty too." I lied and smiled a little.
"Are you already in love with me?" She asked hopefully.
"Almost. May I go to the toilet? I'll be right back." I said and got up.
While I was walking to the exit she screamed:
"Hey, the bathroom is not in this direction."
I got out of the restaurant. My brother surely was joking me. While I was walking I remembered my sister words about the Spiritual Center.
I was walking up to there when a beggar asked me for money:
"Hey sir, can you give me a few coins? I have an illness and I need to buy the medicines." She said looking at the floor.
Suddenly she stared me and that violet eyes filled my mind again. The beggar was just like Ruki. And she said again with a different voice:
"The person you're looking for isn't there. She is waiting at the Central Park."
I looked at the woman again. She was as ugly as the girl in the restaurant. My mind was driving me crazy. My mind was deceiving me. I would swear I saw Ruki's face instead of the woman's face.
I gave the woman 10 dollars and started to walk to the Central Park. I decided to believe in the woman's words, all I was living now was weird, so I had no choice but to believe.
I was walking peacefully through the park looking for someone strange enough to be the woman of the Spiritual Center when a fat lady said:
"Hey Lee! I'm here!"
