Unfaithful
Chapter 3 : Broken Mirror
Michiru and Haruka arrived to the party and as always became the center of attention, being such a handsome couple had a price. At first Michiru was a little overwhelm by all the attention the press gave them but after a few months she began to find it a bit amusing. After the thousand pictures the media took them, Michiru spotted her friends.
"I'm going to talk to the girls"
"Fine, I'll get us refreshment" "Non alcoholic of course"
Michiru approached her friends which seem to be having a juicy gossip conversation. "Hi girls"
"Michiru, hi, you look fabulous"
"Thanks Monique, you all look adorable tonight"
"Don't say, how do you manage to look like that?" Kay wasn't serious she was a very pretty woman herself. "It's good to see you, but I'm still waiting"
"Waiting for what?"
"Show us the ring Michiru!"
Michiru smiled, and proudly lift her hand to show her 5 karat diamond ring, the soft light of the salon made it look brighter.
"Wow, you really hit the jackpot dear, handsome, rich and madly in love. What else can you ask for?"
"Thank you, I want us to meet some of these days for you to help me with the wedding stuff…"
"It's going to be the year's event I can assure you…. Oh no she's here" Kiki's tone was cold, she was upset.
Michiru had no idea what was happening. "Who is here?"
Kay replied "Tundra AKA the thunderbitch"
"Why do you call her that?"
"She's the world biggest … you know, she tried to hit on Takeshi once, I was there and she didn't mind"
"She's always wearing these tiny outfits around the boys."
"How come I never seen her before?"
"For once Michi, you are never in the tracks unless Haruka drags you in, and she had just arrived to Tokyo last month"
"Oh I see." Michiru loved her friends, but she knew they were very judgemental, perhaps this girl wasn't as bad as they said.
Haruka brought her a soda, Michiru was stranged by this since she always had white wine, but let it pass. After speaking to her friends a little more, Haruka excused herself and went meeting her team-mates.
A couple of hours later Michiru played a Romance from Beethoven , she let the music embrace her and she was very relax after her performance, she decided to have a glass of wine and she was standing next to the bar when Tundra board her.
"Hi"
"Hi" Michiru smiled, Tundra smiled back at her.
"You are Michiru Kaioh, aren't you?"
"Yeah, your name is Tundra right?"
"Yes, Haruka has told you about me?"
Haruka catch a glimpse of Tundra approaching Michiru and freaked out, as quick as she could she managed to get near Michiru and make some damage control.
"Haruka, you scare me" Michiru was surprised by Haruka's quick apparition.
Haruka put her arm around Michiru's waist and smile. "Good evening Tundra"
"Haruka, I was just telling Michiru how do we met"
Haruka was pail as rice. "Really, well that's a fun story but you know what we should go now"
"Yes, of course I understand, I'll see you later then, good night"
Haruka cannot believe her luck. "Thank god, for a moment there I thought…"
Tundra was a couple of feet away when she suddenly turned back, she was smiling like a cat with a mouse. She placed a lock of her hair behind her ear . "Oh I almost forgot…"
Slowly she extended her arm with her fist closed "you forgot this at my place the other day…" slowly she open up her hand and there in the middle was Haruka's missing cufflink. Haruka felt that God was punishing her with no mercy, Michiru's face was impossible to read, she sñowly took the cufflink and hold it in her hand, Tundra smiled again and to place the cherry on the top of the cake spoke again loud and clear. " Next time… at list stay for breakfast" Then she turned around and walk away slowly swaying her hips.
Michiru stand there frozen, the meaning of Tundra's words hit her like a ton of bricks, everyone seemed to be looking at them, she remain calm, she wasn't going to make a scene in front of the press. Haruka was not sure what to do, Michiru turn around and face her, she looked cool but there was fire in her eyes.
When she spoke her tone was low, almost a whisper" Take me home"
"Michi I can explain it"
"Take me home now or I'll take a cab"
Haruka knew she was serious. "I'll get the car" So she rushed down to the parking lot.
Michiru felt like a robot, she wasn't feeling numbed her actions where reflexes. "Could you please lend my coat sir?"
"Of course madam"
She was standing at the exit door waiting for her coat, when Kay came to her and start babbling, Michiru could not understand what she wanted.
"Darling are you ok? You are very pail"
"I'm not feeling right"
"It's a shame you have you leave so early, well I see you on Tuesday"
"Tuesday?" "Why doesn't she leaves me alone"
"Tuesday is my birthday, you cannot miss my party"
Michiru managed to get out of there, promising Kay she would be there, she rushed down stairs to the Hotel entrance, Haruka was already in the car, the valet open the car door for her.
The ride home was silent, Haruka was thinking what to say but she knew that her fate had already been written. When they arrived to the mansion, Michiru broke the silence.
"I'm just going to ask you one question" Haruka felt her heart biting faster. Michiru was awfully serious. "Did you sleep with her?"
How do you answer a question that has no answer at all? Haruka stared at Michiru, her eyes full of tears, she wanted to explain her, to tell her she couldn't remember, that if it happened at all she didn't meant to. but there were no words that could possibly reflect the shame, the regret she was feeling.
The silence was worst than hearing a confession, Michiru sighted, her eyes were watery, she wanted so hard to believe this wasn't truth but Haruka wasn't even defending herself. "I'm off to bed" She went upstairs without another word, her head was a mess.
She locked herself in the room and smashed her purse on the floor, she wanted to scream, she was in pain, real physical pain, tears run down her face and she sobbed against the pillows in the bed, that bed that she shared with Haruka , she cried and cried in silence, like she hadn't cried before, her cell phone began ringing on the floor inside her purse, with all the strength left on her she reached her purse and try to grabbed it, but she cut her fingers with something inside of it and letting the rage flow she smashed the cell phone on the wall.
She removed a piece of glass from her hand and looked again in the purse , she had cut herself with a piece of her hand mirror.
"So that ads 7 more years" Michiru sat down on the floor and cried again, she stared at the broken mirror and couldn't stop to think that her dreams were broken too.
