CHAPTER SEVEN: BACK TO MEND THE MEMORY
He called out "Hikari."-No response. Ken heard the TV and checked the living room. Hikari was sitting on the couch, the TV turned to the news.
~Two weeks ago, a private plane crashed into the China Sea. Two of the passengers were the owners of the owners of a small business in fast food.~
Ken slack jawed due to the shocking and overwhelming news-he was not the only one. Hikari turned the TV off. She was in pain; her expression showed anguish. She could not take the happenings that had occurred. She hugged the pillow beside her; it seemed that she longed for some company, she cried even more.
Ken stayed quiet in the doorway; Hikari calmed down and wiped her tears away. She placed the pillow back to her side and reached for a picture on the side table. She caressed her hand on it and covered her mouth as she whimpered. "Why are people going these days? Why'd you have to leave as well?" sniff. Her eyes were teary and full of sorrow. "I didn't even get a chance to say how much I cared for you. I know now that you felt the same." "I know I caused you pain and it pains me to know that you suffered alone. But you weren't alone; I too suffered pain through the guilt that I have given myself." She gazed at the picture with loving eyes. "I I love you so much that I said yes to the man I love, the only man I ever truly loved. is gone. I hope that before leaving I was the only person you longed for, and that you replaced your sufferings with the blissful memories of us." She bit her lips to stop quivering.
Ken had no idea what was going on, his face full of anxiety and confusion. "Hikari..." he called out-arms open to her. Hikari turned to Ken's direction, her face became elated. She stood up and walked towards Ken's direction.
Ken was about to hug her, but then. she passed right through him.
Ken was shocked and baffled.
Hikari continued walking, and approached a stuffed toy. It was the first gift that Ken had given Hikari; it was displayed near the door. She always saw Ken in that teddy bear of hers. She needed comfort and help, it was all because of despair.
