Chapter 05: 15th Song
As Yamato stayed at his car, nine in the evening at Shinjuku Park, raining. He was just gazing the outside. He also remembered where he neglected her.
His phone rang with is made-up ringtone. He smiled.
Flashback
'We must have the same ringtone, we are a couple now, ne!" Mimi suggested.
End of Flashback
Yeah, but that was when everything was okay, they were still an item. He pressed the talk button. It was Sora. "Hello?" he said. "Yamato…"
"What?" he asked uniterestedly. "Yamato…I…."
"What!"
he asked. "Did Taichi told you…that…he still loves me…?"
she asked.
Yamato gave a sigh. "Yeah, he did."
"He told me-he told me that, he was confused…" she stuttered.
"Confused! On what?" he asked.
"Confused…between me and…Mimi." She said, there was silence.
I thought…I thought he realized he loves Sora more…but still, he still loves Mimi…"Sora, meet me at the bar across Shinjuku Park at 8:30 pm." He said.
"Okay…"
she said, then she broke up in tears.
"Sora? Are you okay?"
"Hai. Ja." She said and hung the phone.
Yamato looked at his mobile. He then again went to Mimi's without his car, without a jacket, umbrella. Just himself, wetting himseld at the white rain.
He knocked rapidly at the door and it opened. "Yamato…"
She was in tears again and dug her head with her hands.
He entered the room and escorted her to sit down.
"Mimi…will you believe me if I'll tell you that Tai still loves you?" he asked coldly.
"Yes. Is it true?" she asked, he nodded.
"Mimi,
meet me at the bar across Shinjuku Park, at 8:30 pm." He said,
standing up.
"Yamato, do you still love me?" she asked, her
head was bowed down and her hair was wet.
His firm gripped. His azure eyes started to water, and his head was bowed down, his back facing her.
"I'll tell you once again, no matter how much pain it will cost, no matter how hard to get you, and no matter how you still love him, I'll be always right by your side." He said hardly, she wept her tears.
"Do you love me?" he asked. She looked up and didn't reply. "Do you love me?" he repeated.
"I don't-know." She stuttered.
He bit his lip. He exited her house.
Bar- 8:30 pm
Sora, Mimi and Tai were far apart. Sora was on table g4, Mimi on table c1, and Tai on table k6.
"Here I would like to introduce The Teenage Wolves, in their song number of melancholy." The owner said, the crowd applauded, it has been a while since their last performance.
"Good evening to everyone, I think this would be our last performance, I hoped you like any of our songs. This new 15th song is dedicated to my friends and…if she's here, I hope you will soon found your true happiness with anyone." Yamato said, searching for Mimi.
"1. 2. 3." He whispered to the band and they played. It was first a sound of a piano. But it was guitar plucking. He sighed and sang.
Now I concede On the night of this fifteenth songOf melancholy,
Of melancholy
And now i will
Admit in this fourth line
That i love you,
That i love you.
I
don't care what they say
I
don't care what they do
'cause
tonight I'll leave my fears behind
'cause
tonight I'll be right at your side.
The
clock on the TV says 8:39 pm
It's
the same,
It's
the same
And
in this next line
I'll
say it all over again
That
I love you,
That
I love you.
I
don't care what they say
I
don't care what they do
'cause
tonight i'll leave my fears behind
'cause
tonight i'll be right at your side.
Lie
down right next to me
Lie
down right next to me
And
i never let go
Never
let go.
I'll
leave my fears behind
'cause
tonight ill be right at your side.
Lie
down right next to me
Lie
down right next to me
and
I never let go
Never
let go.
But
still I see the tears from your eyes
Maybe
Im just not the one for you.
Behind those cold blue eyes, he tried to hold his tears back, during the last sentence of the song. The crowd applauded. He bowed and exited. He went to Sora's table.
"That was a good performance, good for you." She said nervously.
"Look, Sora…do you love Tai?" he asked. There was a long silence.
"I do…but he told me…that he got confused…between me….and her." She said, and broke to tears.
He stood up and went to Tai's.
"Hey dude…" there was and awkward silence. "Tai, what do you feel about Mimi?' he asked.
"I love her...but then I also love Sora…I am so confused…I don't know…" he said.
"Don't you know that you're just hurting them?" Yamato asked.
"Tell Mimi that…there's nothing for us." He said, Yamato nodded. He stood up and sighed deeply.
He went to her. "Hey Yamato…" she greeted softly. "Tell me…you still love him…don't you?" Yamato asked.
"Hai…but I guess…he's not the right one for me." She said. Silence then she sobbed.
"But why do I always end up as dumped!" she exclaimed between tears.
"You always love the wrong guys." He said.
"Do you love me?" she asked. He didn't reply.
"Do you love me?" she repeated. "It is always you, isn't it?" he said coldly and heartbreakingly.
"No matter how much love I need to give you…I'll give everything for you." He said coldly. "You don't need to ask me that." He said.
"Still…why can't you love me…I had been sacrificing everything for you…but why can't you see right through me…" he asked her, it was his time to have his answer.
"Still…you can't appreciate me…still you can't show compassion to me like you treat him…What do I have to do to make you feel contented with me! Still you keep hoping with him…" he said…and he the true Yamato showed, he sobbed.
"Yamato…are you crying?" she asked suprisingly. "Yeah…so what!" he asked bitterly.
"Yamato…you do love me…" she said. After all the wrong guys I have looked…he was the one I end up with…but then though…I wasted some of him.
"Kaze o mitsuketa nara, natsukashii basho e to, mata, yukou yo." She said, making Yamato look down.
"Tomodachi ijou ni, naritai dake dayo, dareyori mo, daisuki." He repeated…his head was down.
"Daisuki." Yamato said to her and held her hands.
And that was the last…he left the bar, while she ran to him, but when she got outside, she saw him, his shadow following him, then she heard a crash, her eyes grew wet and wild.
Nagaku, tsuzuku kono michi no mokou ni
Shinjijareru mono ga kitto aru
Kaze no naka no taibito no you ni
Kita no sora o mazashite ikeba
