Author's note.
Hello, it's me again~~ I had made this chapter a special edition about Shinichi~~
This chapter has a little mix of third person form with first person form, but mainly the chapter is on first person form.
Sorry if this chapter is so long
Enjoy reading~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The earth is a rich land full of beautiful substances, like the flowers, the sky, and the weather. The earth had always been beautiful, but it's pointless in my life now. What is the point of all these things without you being by my side and sharing it with me? When you were with me, my world is colorless. I cannot see all those beautiful substances without you being by my side.
The azure sky cannot be compared with your beautiful simile
The song of the birds cannot be compared with your lovely voice
River, cannot be compared with your tears
Tree, cannot be compared with your wonderful long hair
Cherry blossoms cannot be compared with your pink cheeks.
The earth is beautiful, but it cannot be compared with you.
To me, you are even more beautiful than anything.
You are the most beautiful girl I had even seen.
"Kudo, there you are, I had been looking for you everywhere." A similar voice suddenly appeared behind my back, Even though he is wearing a mask, but I don't need to guess to know who it is, Hattori, my best friend.
"I don't want to go to the party; it wasn't my idea to have a party at the first place either." I said. The party was all organized by my parents, I don't want to have a party at the first place, I argued with them, but at the end, I lost. I can't face mother's tearful face and father's rueful expression. Even though this party looks like a reunion with our old friends, but mother had invited lots and lots of unmarried females, they are either from a rich family background, or famous celebrities or daughters of my parent's friends. The purpose are clear, they want me to get married. At the end, they would find this whole party useless because I won't ever get married, not with other girls, the only girl I would marry in my whole entire life is her, and now she is gone, I won't ever get married.
"Are you still thinking about her?" Hattori asked, he's happy expression vanished straight away. "It had been 6 years already, come on, there are a lot of other women, just move on with your life and forget about her."
"If you were in my situation, would you forget about Kazuhua?" I asked him, I knew that Hattori would never forget about Kazuhua, just like me and Ran.
Hattori didn't reply, he knew the answer clear, for all these years Hattori was one of those people who tried to persuade me out of the depressant situation, but he failed many times.
I cannot find happiness in a world without you
My life is like a hell
The moon stopped to shine
In a world without you, I, have nothing.
I walked to the main hall with Hattori, even though I don't want to be in here, but I hopped that all those people who loved and cared for me would cheer up. The dancing and music all stopped at the moment I walked in. The ladies and gentlemen all stopped at once to look at me. The ladies all look hopeful and happy; they all wished that I would go up and ask them for a dance. And, then, they would have a chance to become the next mistress of the Kudo family. I smiled, coldly. I am afraid that the ladies' dream would break up any moment now, because I am not going to ask any one of them for a dance.
I walked slowly towards my other friend, he had the same facial expression as me, but he appeared to have a more blissful life than me. If other people looked at us at once would think that we are identical twins, because we looked exactly alike, even our voice was similar. But we all knew that he's name is Kuroba Kaito and My name is Kudo Shinichi, we came from two different families, so the chance of being twins was less.
Beside Kaito, a beautiful and noble lady stand there, her eyes looked exactly like her, the same blue and tenderness. The lady looked exactly like her; I knew the lady standing beside Kaito must be Aoko, the most important person in Kaito's life. I looked away from Aoko immediately, she remind me too much of Ran and broke my concentration.
"Shinichi, you owe me a big one! You know all these women thought that I were you and asked me for a dance." Kaito said, he looked cheerful as usual. "Aoko was furious! So now, would you please help me get rid off all these women?"
"Stop blaming on Shinichi! If I wasn't here, I bet you are going to ask every single one of them for a dance." Aoko smiled cheekily and gently pinched Kaito
I laughed, the two of them are still as like usual, so happy and are always fighting. I always simile when I am with them, the reason is because they reminded me all these happy memories I used to had with Ran. Sometimes I wondered, if Ran is still alive, would we be like them? If Ran was still alive, maybe we even had own first born children already.
"Kaito, can you lend me Aoko for a second. I want to dance with her." I asked Kaito.
"Hang on; I don't want you to treat Aoko as Ran's shadow." Kaito said, he's playful face suddenly turned out to be serious.
"I won't, I just wanted a dance." I replied to him, my face was filled with seriousness and Kaito can see that I am really desperate.
"Ok, but on one condition." Kaito said. "You must walk around the hall first to look for a dancing partner, if you found one, you can forget about Aoko, if you haven't, I would lend Aoko to you, FOR ONLY 5 MIN!"
I laughed again, Kaito sounded like a small boy, keeping he's toy away from me. I nodded to agree with him and began my search for a dancing partner; I was skipping through this entire lady until I found her. A lady wearing a blue gown, she have a long fair hair just like her, and her eyes, sparkled like a azure diamond, looked exactly like Ran.
"May I have a dance with you?" I asked while I bowed towards her.
"Um.......sorry, but I need to......." She sounded nervous, and her eyes were filled with a sudden confusion as if she wasn't sure if she wanted to dance with me.
"Please, I just wanted one dance, for I haven't asked a lady to dance for ages." I pleaded, I felt strange because I haven't been this desperate to dance with a women before, was it maybe her azure pair of eyes that looked liked Ran?
"Ok, then." She pulled her dress and opened her hands to me; I grabbed her hand gently and led her to the middle of the dancing circle. We started to dance, only the two of us, in the middle of the circle with other people surrounded, watching. When she discovered this, her face was filled with pink coloring, just like Ran. I somehow, found this moment, blissful, I enjoyed dancing with her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Meanwhile.... "Do you know this lady?" Yukiko asked her husband. "It looks like that Shinichi had fallen in love again!"
"I think this lady was none of those intended females we had invited today, I didn't remember seeing her, and I think she was an author from one of the publisher." Yusaku said. "I don't think Shinichi had fall in love with her, can't you see the reason Shinichi had pick her to dance is because she looked so much like Ran, Shinichi would ask Aoko if he didn't see her."
"So what, at least Shinichi had interest in her." Yukiko said, excitedly. "That's it, no matter who she is, at least she make Shinichi smiled, I am certain that she is going to be my future daughter in law!"
"Congratulations, Yukiko and Yusaku." Eri and Kogoro appeared behind them, they were also invited to the party, they were happy to see Shinichi had chosen someone to dance, Shinichi deserve someone better after Ran's death and he should stop being depressant.
"Eri, Kogoro. I am really sorry ........."
"Don't be sorry, you should happy for Shinichi, and it's best to stay in this way." Eri said, her eyes were littered with sadness, for she was still sad about Ran's death, she and Kogoro will always be.
"Thank you." Yusaku said. "Now let's forget about everything and party!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When we were dancing, suddenly, a loud modern music hindered the classical musicians I had applied for the party today. I realized the music straight away; it's secret of my heart, a song sung by my beloved. I knew the reason that it suddenly boomed in this room because someone had turned on the music in my music room. The reason that it had boomed everywhere is because I had stored a stereo system everywhere in the house, so when ever I went in the house, I could hear Ran sing, and listening to her songs had become one of my daily routine.
Heiji and Kaito's face were white; they knew who had done it, their kids.
"Shinichi, we are very sorry, we were go and punish those bastards straight away." Heiji said.
"Don't blame the kids. I like this song and I wanted it to stay on." I smiled; I tried not to look too sad in front of them. "I wanted to hear Ran sing."
"Shinichi..............."
"Let's just forget about everything and party!" I went back to dance but found my dancing partner missing, I looked everywhere for her and found her at the pathway in the hall, she looked as if she was ready to leave.
"You haven't competed a dance with me yet, please stay and finish our dance." I said
"Sir, I am really sorry, but I need to go now." She said as if she was desperate to leave me, this angered me, so I grabbed hold of her hands tightly, not letting her go.
"You are not leaving until I see your face under the mask." I said, angered by her. I felt strange because for all these years, no one can really make me angry. Why should I be angry when my heart was lost?
"Ok, I will have one dance with you, only one." She looked at me with her angry blue eyes. "But on one condition, I want to ask you a question."
"Sure, any question." I replied to her. "What?"
"Who sang the song in the hall and why do you stored a stereo system everywhere?" She asked.
"The song was sung by my wife, and the reason I stored a stereo system everywhere in my house is because I wanted to hear her voice anytime at the day as if she were still alive, I wanted to remember her always and never forget about her." I told the answer to the question, for a moment, I could feel tears coming from my eyes, but I tried to shake the tear off by shaking my head.
She said nothing, so I take her hand with me and led her back to the dancing floor. We danced for an entire song without interruptions. We stopped when Heiji announced it's time to take off the mask and look at the real identity of everyone's dancing partner.
"It's time to take off the mask." Heiji announced through the hearable microphone.
I took my mask off straight away after the announcement, but the lady seems to be worried about something, she didn't seem to want to take her mask off.
"What's wrong?" I asked her, caringly.
"I am sorry, but I don't want to........" Her voice stopped when the string that holds her mask broke and her mask fell on the ground. I looked at her for an entire moment as if I was dreaming and my dream had come true. I stopped moving because I am afraid that if I moved, I would be out of this dream.
"Don't look at me! Don't look at me!" She covered her face with her hand and cried.
Everyone else stared at her, they were all in awe.
"Ran!"
To be continued.
