Chapter Seven : It's All In A Heartbreak
Yamato arrived at Hanajima Orphanage earlier than Mimi's highschool friends.
When he got inside, a nun approached him.
"Oh you got here first," the nun said warmly. "Are you one of the volunteers?"
"Uhm…" Yamato trailed off. "Yeah."
Suddenly, a noise can be heard from the kitchen.
"Mister, if you don't mind," the nun said. "Will you continue the remaining laundry? Well, I hope I'm not asking too much but I need to check what's happening out there in the kitchen."
Yamato suddenly cringed. Do the laundry?
"Well, I'm sorry if I offended you," the nun apologized. "The volunteers usually do these everytime they visit here."
Yamato forced a weak grin. "No, no it's not a problem…I'm a volunteer…I guess I need to do it."
After washing his feet, Yamato got in the big tub filled with spreadsheets. He stepped on the laundry (a/n : a lazy person usually does this. They step on the laundry).
His feet marched up and down. This is boring.
Suddenly, a sound of a blue bus arrived.
Some College students got out of the bus and one of them was Mimi.
Mimi's highschool friends arrived.
Yamato searched for Michael's face even though he doesn't know what he looks like. He's trying to guess among the few guys who were there.
Mimi caught sight of Yamato and almost burst out in laughter upon seeing him.
Yamato frowned and looked down.
He was wearing a white shirt and his pants were folded up to his knee. He looked like a farmer.
Mimi continued walking to greet the orphans inside the orphanage.
Upon finishing the laundry, it's time to hang them.
As he was hanging the last set of laundries, he heard a guy and a girl talking nearby.
"Mimi, I've already thought of this before," the guy said.
"But can you think of this more clearly? For you to be sure?" Mimi pleaded.
"I've thought of this for several times…I'm ready to do this," the guy said.
Yamato walked closer and he saw a shadow of a guy and Mimi. They were behind the first set of the wet spreadsheets he just washed awhile ago.
Mimi took one step closer at the guy.
"But…but," Mimi trailed off. She took another step closer.
This time, Yamato was getting too anxious that he suddenly knocked the hanger down. It caused the other hangers to fall down and eventually the spreadsheets fell on top of Mimi and the guy.
"Michael!" Mimi exclaimed, as she bent down and searched for him under the spreadsheets.
When she looked up, she saw Yamato looking at her.
"What are you doing here?" Mimi asked angrily.
Mimi and Michael walked to the bus stop side by side, Yamato following them.
Mimi and Michael sat on the bench located at the bus stop.
As soon as the two of them sat together, Yamato stopped walking.
Mimi looked at him and smiled.
"Thank you for coming," she said. "You did a great job on the laundry."
Michael smiled at Yamato too.
"Yes, thank you," Michael thanked him.
The bus arrived and both Mimi and Michael got in.
Mimi turned to face him.
"Aren't you coming?" she asked.
He shook his head.
Mimi followed Michael in and sat beside him.
As the bus drove off, she gave Yamato one last look.
Taichi passed by the school gymnasium when he saw Yamato shooting some balls in the basketball hoop.
He went inside the gymnasium.
"Well, well, well," he said.
Yamato looked at him.
He was wearing a cast on his right arm. His friends were also there.
"It's good that I found you here," he said.
Taichi turned to his friends.
"Are you wondering guys why he's all alone here in the gymnasium?" Taichi asked, as if he knew the answer to his question.
Suddenly, two familiar faces entered the gymnasium.
It was Davis and Ken.
Taichi turned to Yamato.
"It's because his friends left him," Taichi declared.
Yamato looked at Davis and Ken.
Davis looked down at the floor while Ken looked away.
Taichi sighed mockingly. "Too bad."
Yamato glared at him and walked away.
It was Thursday.
Mimi's supposed to be here now.
He stared at his cellphone.
He wanted to call her but he hesitated.
He looked at it again and called her eventually.
What's taking her so long?
At last she answered.
"We have classes today!" Yamato scolded her but suddenly got worried when she heard her drunken voice.
"Where are you?" he asked.
Holding an umbrella in his hands, Yamato walked to a small beerhouse.
It was raining.
He closed his umbrella and left it on the umbrella stand beside the beerhouse's door.
He saw Mimi sitting in a table with two bottles of saki, the other one empty, the other one half-full.
He sat in front of her.
"Oh…it's you," Mimi said, smiling at him. "Let's have our classes here, okay?"
She is drunk.
Her smile is a little goofy and her eyes are very different.
"Today's lesson is 'broken hearts'," she declared in her drunk voice.
"Have you been dumped?" Yamato asked.
Mimi shook her head. "Nope."
Then she nodded. "Yeah."
Then she shook her head again. "Nope."
And nodded again. "Yeah."
Yamato raised his brow. He pinched both her cheeks.
"Wake up!" Yamato said.
Mimi sobbed and raised both her hands.
"Everybody! I've been dumped!" she shouted.
Yamato covered her mouth.
"What's so special about that guy anyway?" Yamato asked after Mimi has calmed down.
Mimi smiled dreamily.
"At first I liked his soft smile," she said.
Yamato listened.
"And then I liked his voice," she added, now tears welled in her eyes.
Mimi frowned.
"Since I liked liking him, I loved him…and ended up getting hurt," she said.
"Stop," Yamato said. "I'll take you home."
Suddenly, Miyako entered the beerhouse.
She saw the two of them seated in one table.
"Yamato-kun!" she said. "Don't tell me you're dating her!"
Yamato fell silent.
"I heard Davis and Ken left you," Miyako said. "It's because you've changed! Because of her!"
Mimi looked up. "Oh! It's you!"
Miyako looked at her disgustingly. "Stop acting drunk!"
Mimi stood up in front of her. Her legs swaying.
"Want to drink with me?" she asked and hiccupped afterwards.
Miyako pushed her.
"You're so disgusting," she mocked.
Yamato stood up and caught her.
"Let's go," Yamato said pulling her.
It was still raining.
Under the rain, they walked in an unknown place.
Yamato just followed Mimi, putting an umbrella over their heads.
Then Mimi stopped.
They stopped in front of a red telephone booth under a streetlight.
"Here we are," Mimi said, still drunk.
Yamato looked at her.
"In this place where there's a red telephone booth under a streetlight…while raining…," Mimi said.
Yamato just fell silent, listening to her.
"This is where I wanted my first kiss," Mimi said, smiling at him goofily. "I even practiced a pose."
Mimi put her hands on his neck. "Like this."
Mimi leaned in, so did Yamato.
But then, Mimi ended up sobbing in his coat.
Yamato let her cry.
Michael got out of his apartment to get today's newspaper when Yamato appeared.
"Hey!"
Michael looked at him.
"Oh, hi good morn—," suddenly a fist flew to his right cheek.
He stumbled.
Yamato grabbed him.
"Who are you to hurt Mimi's feelings? Why did you dump her?"
Michael looked at Yamato. "You see, I---," but Yamato interrupted.
"Look, if you rejected her because you have another girl---."
"No," Michael said. "You see, I'm gonna be a 'father' soon."
Yamato punched him again.
"You're having a son? Why you bastard!" he punched him again.
"You-You don't understand!" Michael begged.
Yamato threw him away.
"Stay out of her life from now on," he warned.
