- Serendipity of love -
Chapter 1
"The 1st scene…"
"Oh Romeo, you're the one I truly love!" said Juliet.
"I came here to rescue you my young princess." Exclaimed Romeo in a sweet tune.
In a signal, the director shouted, "Cut! That's a rap." And continue, "You two are both great today. Do your best and continue that until next week and we're almost finish practicing!"
"Thank you again for lending us your time Yui-san and Amiboshi-kun." a crew said to the once who played the two main roles of the story.
"No doubt that's pretty easy." Said Yui.
All the crews and staffs clean up the school hall and start leaving. The others start fixing their things. It's a Thursday afternoon and classes in junior high just finished.
"Hey, that's a good scene with you Hongo. (Remember that 'Hongo' is Yui's surname ) I'm glad we're working together in this play." Said Amiboshi to Yui. "Let's do are best. This will be a new hit in school!"
"Gee, thanks for the complement! See ya!" Yui thank Amiboshi while running towards a girl with a long, brown hair that is tied up like the hairstyle of Chun-lee. (Know Street fighter? Of course you do, right?)
"Sorry to keep you waiting Miaka!" Yui apologized to Miaka Yuuki, her one and true best friend.
"Its OK but first, remember our deal?" Respond Miaka with a silly voice.
"Oh fine."
The two start walking down a boulevard that is close to a mini grocery store labeled 'Chichiri's Corner'. They started peaking some snacks and went to a small table to eat.
"Hi their Miaka! Buying again for some goodies?" The owner of the store, Mr. Chichiri warmly greeted them.
" Hi there Chi-chan! Did Mom pass-by your store today?" Said Miaka with a stick of dumpling stoke in her mouth.
"Hey careful with your mouth!" Reminded Yui to her best friend.
"It's alright." Said Chichiri to Yui.
Yui starts blushing while Miaka is talking to Chichiri. It is very obvious that Yui has a crush on Chichiri since six grade. Miaka didn't agree for the first time but now, she's happy for Yui. Until now, Yui doesn't have any guts to prove her love to Chichiri.
"You have eaten enough snacks for today. I think we should go now." Said Yui to Miaka.
"But I'm still hungry!"
"You have already finished two dozen of special dumplings. Aren't you satisfied!"
"I still need to finish the seven sets of these delicious dumplings and Mom said that I shouldn't waste food!"
"Eh! What a big dummy you are!" Yui continued scolding Miaka while Chichiri in the counter, smiling.
"You know, you two both act like children." Laughed Chichiri.
Again, Yui blushed and Miaka saw her reaction. Immediately, She greeted good-by to Chichiri and dash down an intersection of road dragging Yui all along.
"OK we're here now!" Exclaimed Miaka excitedly.
"Hey, why did you do that for! My face feels like falling off!" Complained Yui.
"So… You still like him, right?" teased Miaka to Yui.
"Shhh! Lower your voice! Someone might hear us!" Shouted Yui worriedly.
"HA! HA! HA! You're such a scaredy-cat, aren't I right? You just want to see Chichiri after all! That's why you agreed in our deal." Teased Miaka louder than before.
"Shut up will ya! If you repeat that phrase again you'll have to pay for it!"
"Try it, LOVER GIRL!" Miaka repeated and repeated until the day has finished.
In Miaka's room…
"Wow. Yui's temper really caught me in there. I owe her an apology." Miaka utter to herself as she put Band-Aids and medicines in her animated gashes. It's like Yui dig her up and just leave her because of irritation.
Suddenly, Miaka's oka-san, Mrs. Yuuki called over Miaka for the dinner. After digging, she brushed her teeth, watched her favorite night shows and for the first time, no two to three-hours phone call with Yui and slept late.
00the next morning…00
"CRRIIIIIIIiNG!"
"Oh… I'm exhausted. I'm still sleepy…"
"CRRIIIIIIING!"
"Will you please shut up for a while…?"
"CRRIIIIIIING!"
"Oh fine! You've convinced me!" Miaka shouted to her clock while reaching it on her desk beside her bed.
"HUGGGHHH! It's now seven in the morning…" She continued.
"…Great…"
Then, a sudden feeling came up to Miaka. Finally, she realizes what feeling is it.
"OH BOY! I'M LATE FOR SCHOOL!"
"" At the school ""
The school bell just started ringing while Miaka is running is still a long way to her school. Yui, as usual, wait for her every morning. If they're lucky, they meet in the intersection across the school.
"The bell had ringed already. Why isn't she here yet?" She said to herself, waiting beside the school gate for Miaka patiently.
A man came up to her and said. "Excuse me Miss. I'm closing this gate now and classes had already started. You think I'll let you ran off and cut classes? No way! I'm an official guard of this school and I won't let you pass, clear!"
By the time that he finished talking, he saw the blond girl with a browned-haired girl sneaking in the high school building staircase and act like there's no one talking to them.
"Great." The man said while closing the school gate, making a weird face.
"Why are you late today?" Yui asked.
"Its because of that stupid clock! He didn't wake me up in the exact time!" Miaka protested.
"Maybe it run out if batteries. A clock is not a living thing. It's a neuter. Until now you don't know the gender of nouns? Cut it out!" Yui corrected. Feeling so foolish for Miaka.
"But I call him that way! And to tell you what, he also has a name and it's Momou so stop making fun of him!" Miaka shouted.
"Oh fine! Guess you're the winner!" Yui congratulated.
At break time, the duo stroll around their campus, remembering good times in the past.
"Hey, do you remember when we first met?" Miaka said.
"Ye, why should I forget?" Yui continued. "Remember in kinder?"
"I remember when you're up in that big Acacia tree then I came up to you and warned you to go down because it's too dangerous up there."
"It's because my mother is leaving for a work abroad and I couldn't help myself not to see her in a day so I climbed up that tree and decided to have a suicide myself!" Miaka said while feeling bakarashii.
"You're such a brave girl even if your idea of killing yourself didn't work."
"Yeah, such a foolish kid." Miaka continued. "In that day after some people saved me, my father came and explained all that happened to my mother. I found out that Mama will just leave us for a day so she'll come back the evening of tomorrow."
"Remember in third grade? When you fell from that stinky pond?" Miaka suggested.
"Stop that! I don't want to remember that anymore. It's ridiculous." Yui hesitated.
"HI! HI! HI! Now that's bad luck!" Miaka giggled.
The two stop talking for a while, looking deep in the same Acacia tree that Miaka climbed up.
"You know Mia,"
"Ye?"
"You have this weird laugh. You know each time you laugh and giggled, I'm having this weird feeling that I'm not alone."
"What makes you say that?"
"My parents are very busy people. Even if I wish for company, I don't have any siblings. When I was still a kid I always wanna have one. Sometimes I'm questioning myself, why is it that I'm always alone? Leaving in this enormous world..."
"Hey, snap out of it! I don't want my best friend to be that sad about something in her past. You know past is past and future is future. We can't change it but we can bear with it." Miaka said cheerfully.
"I guess your right."
After classes, the two walk together home but they noticed that the road to their home are close because of road construction so they passed by a crowded market place. Accidentally, a man bumped to Yui and ran continuously.
"You OK Yui-chan?" Worried Miaka.
"Yes, I'm fine. Huh? On no! My wallet's missing!" Yui gasped.
"I think that man got it. I saw him picked up a wallet that fell from one of your pocket." A citizen told them about what he has seen.
"Just wait their Yui! I'll catch up with him and I'll surely comeback with your wallet!" Miaka protested.
Yui tried to stop her but in the end, she didn't.
Wait there Yui. I'll comeback for you!
