Chapter 2:
Previously:
She went to her room and went near her newly bought antique study table. She decided to take a good look at it. When she opened the drawer, she found something that caught her eye.
It was a paper, an old paper to be exact. It was folded twice and from the looks of it the paper was really old. It was dirty white as it's evident of being really old.
She was not really the type of person who would invade someone's privacy and reads someone's letter. But she was really curious with the letter and besides she owns the table.
She argued with herself if she is going to open and read it or just leave the letter as it is.
'But what if the letter is for me and it is an emergency letter or something and if somebody owns it what harm can I do anyway by just reading it.'
So she decided to open the letter to read its contents.
She slowly opened the letter, but suddenly she felt something cold. She then looked around her room to see if her fan or aircon is turned on. But both her fan and aircon were turned off.
She then turned to look at her windows but none of them were open.
'This is really getting weird. Don't mind it kaoru.' She said to herself.
Then she continued opening the letter and started reading it.
The handwriting of the owner of the letter does not really have a nice penmanship. You can guess that it was a guy's handwriting by just looking at it.
My beloved,
Lately I've been restless and I have troubled in my sleeps. It is not because of any illnesses but because of love. I have been trying to figure out how to confess my love for you. I've been also trying to figure out how to say the right words. The words that will touch your heart as well as your soul.
It took me all my courage to write you this letter. I want to tell you that ever since I saw you, I then believed in love at first sight because I experienced it with you. Silly of me to think it will change your mind about us, but it never hurts to try. I want to tell you from the debts of my soul that I love you with all my heart.
I know that by confessing my love for you in a letter would not really have an impression as they said that it is better to say it personally. But I think that if I will face you, I would only make fool of myself and embarrass myself in front of you. For whenever I an near you I could not say a word and everything I want to say to you will be lost in words.
I will be asking you a question and hoping that you would reply back. I want to ask you to if do you feel the same way I feel for you. For if you answer yes, then I would be the luckiest man for it means that I still have hopes in making you mine. But if you say no, then I would be gladly to accept your decision and thanking you for answering back. And if you need anyone to talk to, I would always be there for you.
I am always here to wait for your reply and I will wait till' forever. I hope you would answer me. I love you and will always do. Forever…
Kenshin Himura"Kenshin", Kaoru read his name out loud.
She was staring at the letter for quite some time now. Then she finally snapped back to reality.
There was something about the letter that made Kaoru's heart feel something weird. She can't really explain what is happening to her heart.
Then she finally had a clue. 'I think that I'm starting to fall for this guy even though I haven't seen him. Heck! I don't even know if the letter is for me. And why am I starting to fall for this guy so fast or am I that desperate to find true love?'
'But there is something about this kenshin guy and his letter that moves me.'
She held the paper up and read a line that really moves her, "I will wait till' forever". 'What does this mean.'?
If this letter were not for her then why would it still be there? Is the owner of this letter afraid to give this love letter to his lover? Did the receiver of the letter really received the letter and replied back to him? These were some of the questions that were filled in her mind.
Out of the blue, she did something that she didn't expect she was going to do.
She stood up and went to her bag. She got her black pen and bond paper out. She then went back to the table and pulled a chair out to sit down and started writing.
Author's notes:
I'm really sorry that it is still short and the letter is kinda mushy and corny. I really have a lot of problems. 1. I had a fight with my bestfriend. 2. I got a new idea for another fic. 3. Exam is coming. 4. We have to do a role-play and I hate role-plays. 5. I have to type my cousin's very long as in long report. Hope you would all understand and thank you for all of your reviews. I would also appreciate if you would give me some ideas for this fic.
