Unspoken Words
Chapter 10: Unspoken Words
I slowly walk to the main door of the school. Although my day isn't perfect now, it is better since a problem is solved and a little weight is lifted from my mind. There is only a second thing that I need to make clear. The thought of having everything being perfect puts a smile on my face. I skip to the emergency exit, which I usually find Rui playing his violin. I slowly push open the door and find it unoccupied other than some fallen leaves on the ground. I felt kind of disappointed. However, I know that if he isn't here, there is only one other place where he can be. It is the spot where I marked the "Tsukushi" territory.
All the obstacles and problems that separate me from Rui are non-existent anymore. My pace quicken as my heart thump every time the name "Rui" repeats in my mind. From a far, I can already hear faint music flowing from the isolated tree. I walk closer and see Rui playing his violin. I walk slowly and quietly, not wanting to startle him, for the sight of him playing the violin is like a picture so beautiful that only the heaven can create.
Even when I am so careful not to make the slightest sound, Rui still notices my presence as he stop abruptly just before he plays a high note. He looks up at the sky with his back facing me. I look at him wondering what he will do next. I walk up to him and wrap my arms around him. As if he is startle, his muscle tenses but eventually relaxes. For a few seconds I feel that I am the happiest person on earth until he hesitantly pulls me away from him. He turns around and looks at me.
"What are you doing?" Rui asks with an expressionless façade.
The tone of his voice hurts me deeply. Nevertheless, I try to tell him everything is fine and that things are straighten up between Tsukasa and I. There are so many explanations and confessions to make that I am too overwhelmed to put the words together to say a coherent sentence. So, instead of starting with a speech of a non-stopping chain of words, I simply smile, the happiest smile I ever had. I lean toward him and whisper to him words that I have saved for so long.
~~~
I was seven years old. I stared my piece of cake on the floor, which Tsukasa had just so happily ruined. I didn't how I could ever have put up with him. F3 were long gone from the dinning and were in the garden playing another violent game. Tsukasa had probably forgotten the unforgivable sin he just did when he knock my cake on the floor while running out to the garden. He didn't even apologize. Just as I wanted to go out and beat everything out of Tsukasa, Rui put his hand on my back. I knew he didn't want me to get into another fight with the inconsiderate Tsukasa. On Rui's other hand is his piece of cake. He puts it in front of me, offering his share. It's some like this that I want to yell out how much I love him. However, my inability stopped me.
~~~
There were times when even the weed, like me, would cry. The flying insults thrown at me were never too bad. Yet, sometimes these insults remind me every much of my lost family. I would cry until I fall asleep. Rui would never ask the what, why or how. He understood. He would just stay with me, risking his own sleeping time. At times like these, I didn't know how I would have survived without his comfort. I wanted to tell him how much I loved him, but I could not.
~~~
"I love you," I quietly say in him ear just so that only the two of us will ever hear the sweet sound of the three words.
I look again at Rui, whose face is now full of different expressions and questions. I want to laugh, since this may be the first and last time Rui will have such an animated face. I give him another smile and nothing more needed to be said. He leans forward and kisses me. Everything between us is now clear as water because I have finally said long awaited three unspoken words.
End.
~~~
Well, that's the ending. It's kinda cheesy..but whatever. I just hope that there are still people who remember this story to at least finish the last chapter and give me comments/feedback/reviews. By the way, I am too lazy to edit the chapter now. So, if there are grammatical/spelling or even info mistake (coz I left this aside for too long that I have forgotten what I wrote before. I just hope the things said in this chapters matches with the previous ones), just bare with me, OK? Or tell me about the mistake in the feedback/comments/reviews page and I will correct it.
