the story by this month. Because I've got lots of work to do.
Chapter 3 - The Third meeting
Makino POV:
Months have passed since Sakurako's parents died. Nothing much changed except that Sakurako and her sister have come to live with me. Though Sakurako's always smiling, I knew that she haven't got over the fact that her parents died. She still cried in the middle of the night. How I wished that she could be happy again. 'Sakurako, what do you want to eat?' I asked.
'Anything,' she replied.
'Tempura Udon? Is that fine with you?'
'That would be good,' she smiled again. I love to see her smile but not this kind of smile. I remembered that her smile used to be very warm. Now, her smile is as cold as metal. I went to the counter to order, and Rui came over.
'How is she?' he asked.
'Still the same,' I answered sadly.
'It's time to cheer her up. Let's bring her to the amusement park this Sunday. Sounds great?' he suggested. I nodded. Perhaps the outing would cheer her up. Perhaps.
(At the amusement park)
'Let's take the roller coaster ride,' I said happily.
'You go ahead without me,' Sakurako said, smiling bitterly.
'Come on,'' Rui said, 'you should know that we brought you here to cheer you up and so why don't you just enjoy yourself?' I stared at Rui and gave him a don't-you-dare-make-her-cry look. 'Look Sakurako, I didn't mean to be hush.. All I'm trying to say is that you have to move on in life.'
'Yeah, guess I should,' Sakurako replied, 'well then, let's take the roller coaster ride and see who screams the loudest!' Holding both Rui's and my hand, she ran towards the roller coaster.
(after the ride)
'It was fun wasn't it?' Sakurako asked.
'Fun indeed,' I said as I began to throw up.
'Looks like somebody here can't take the ride,' Rui mocked.
'Thanks a lot,' I commented on his statement.
'Don't fight now little children,' Sakurako said with a grin, 'Now Rui, be good to Makino. Makino don't be rude to Rui..' Finally, Sakurako's cheering up.
'That's my Sakurako,' I said and I carried on vomiting.
'Bring her to the washroom Mum,' Rui joined in.
'Okay, but Rui, promise not to run around okay?' she said in a motherly manner. Sakurako brought me to the washroom and I threw up like nobody's business. Upon exiting, we heard someone screaming for help. Both of us ran to the voice. There, a plump man fainted. Sakurako immediately perform CPR on him, while I called for the ambulance.
'911? I need an ambulance here. There's a plump man here who fainted. I'm at Kyoto Amusement park. Where? Erm,' I turned around, and beside the teapot ride, I saw the guy again. The guy in my dream. 'I'm at the teapot ride. Thank you..' I ended my call.
'Makino, get Rui here, I think he might be able to help,' Sakurako said. I nodded and when I turned to take a second look at the guy, he was just standing in front of me.
'Don't bother,' he whispered coldly to me, 'his time has ended.'
'What do you mean?' I asked angrily. He smiled coldly and pointed at the ground then, he turned and left. 'Wait,' I shouted.
'Makino, MAKINO, would you please go and get Rui,' Sakurako said loudly. I ran to Rui and Rui came with me to Sakurako's side. He immediately did all he could to save the man but he still died. The doctor replied that the CPR was performed a minute too late. I don't believe what the doctor said. What I believe is that the guy in my dreams has caused the death of the man and Sakurako's parents. How did he do that, I do not know. But I know that I must find out before he harm more innocent people.
