My heart
I drempt of him almost everday.
I could not foreget him even if I wanted to.
As time went by, I thought I would never see him again..
The thought alone was good enough to make me sad.
The time passed at it's usual pace.. and before I realized.
I was 18. The time in your life where the sole purpose of your existence is to marry a nice, rich, well connected gentleman who would provide for you and your family.
I recieved various presents and many letters from countless gentlemen which I could never remember.
My father and mother worried me for my lack of interest in any of those noble men.
I was sad that I knew I will never be happy with any of other man.
I was a love sick puppy, who strived for that man I met him in a bamboo forest as I was a child.
Of course no one knew him.
Except only me.
Many proclaimed their love to me.
and at one point some even tried get my attention with a threat that he will commit suicide and it will indeed be my fault for not returning his affection.
Until I met Takemaru, I was absolutely miserable.
Takemaru is a brilliant general, my dad adores just like any other ladies would.
He is handsome, young, intelligent, and very gentle.
He is someone, lot of people would idolize and love, he is someone you can trust and depend on.
And he showed lot of affection to me.
Takemaru and I became really fast friends.
I would say anything, everything to him. What happend today... to me, my dreams, my goals, my achievements... He would listen to me all day with a large grin on his face.
He would often tell me a joke and I would laugh at it.
He was very comfortable.
He would sometimes be away for a battle, but I never was worried about him. Because I knew he would win that battle just like he did in all the other battles he has attended.
He was strong and he was gentle at the same time.
I really,truly... liked him.
