…Chapter 6 : It's Drama's Time! (part 2)…
Souji's body trembled. He fell to the ground. Tears flooded from his eyes.
Souji: Aniki.. I think.. You have thought me as your own brother.. sob I think.. you trust me.. I think you love me.. I think.. sob Why.. Why it has turned to be like this?
There was a lot of audience who cried (especially the girls) when they saw Eiji's acting which looked so real. It seemed that he had ever felt that himself. Horio, Katsuo, and Kachirou had already sobbed while bitting their own handkerchief.
"Heeh.. ano Eiji-senpai no yatsu.. how can he act like that? He always be the cheerful one.." commented Momo.
Ryoma replied, "hontossu nee.. (it really is..) It's the power of acting.."
Suddenly, they could hear a plan yet straight voice from the sit on their back,
"that's right Echizen.. it must be the power of acting.. I'm 100 sure of that.."
Momo and Ryoma who heard that, frozed in a sudden.
"hey Echizen.. in a time like this.. masaka (I can't believe it..) Does he still bring his usual notebook?" whispered Momo.
"saa.. I don't know.. but, it's Inui-senpai after all.."
Fuji, who stood on the wings of the stage looked at Eiji with a sad face.. He knew, Eiji sure was acting seriously, but deep inside, Eiji had been hurted like that, in a different case of course. That was why he could act as good as that.
'yes.. he has been hurted.. He really has been hurted.. by me.. All this time, he always try not to show it, but I know.. It hurts him so much.. That time, he must be crying like what I'm seeing now.. and it's because of me.. Eiji.. I'm sorry.. I'm so sorry..'
"..n.."
"..-kun.."
"Fuji-kun?" called Nami, the class president.
"y..yes?" Fuji awaked from his thought..
"I know that Eiji-kun's act is really good. But you mustn't forget, after this, it's your part.."
"oh.. yes, I know.. thanks Nami-san.." Fuji showed his trademark smile.
The curtain was closed as a sign of the changing part of the drama. Eiji walked to the wings of the stage, with his head limped down. Applause from the audience roared all over the huge room. But Eiji didn't care. He passed Fuji without saying anything or even looked at him. But, Fuji could see, Eiji's tears still rolled, almost wetting his costume. Fuji could feel a jolt in his chest..
On the backstage, Eiji was crowded by their class friends..
" that was really great, Eiji-kun!"
" yeah! Your acting was so.. so.. so.. oh! I can't describe it.. My handkerchief has already wet because of too much crying!"
" yes! Me too!"
"Eiji-kun, you really cried? Oh my god.. you really good at acting.."
"that't true!"
" thanks.." a forced smile placed on Eiji's lips. "Sorry, I want to prepare for the next scene.." he walked away from the crowd and go to his changing room, then locked the door.
"huh.. that's really a pity.. I still want to talk to him.." commented one of Eiji's friends.
"haha.. I know that! You want to see him until you get satisfied! We all know that you're one of Eiji-kun fans.." said another girl.
"Of course.. How could you don't like someone as cute as him!"
" It's true that Eiji-kun is cute, but I like Fuji-kun better! He's so cool.. Like a prince.. kyaaa!"
"hey.. hey.. do the two of you know where you are right now? This is backstage.. how could you screaming like that? Hhh.. girls nowadays.." said one of their teachers.
The next part had already started. From the changing room, Eiji could hear the dialogues..
'Why my tears won't stop! Oh no! Fuji must be seeing this. And.. Fuji must know what the real reason behind my tears! This isn't acting! I really can't stop crying eventhough I want to… A teaas from a brokenheart..'
Eiji sat backing the wall with his hands around his knee. He drowned his head on his on his kness.
Five minutes later, when he already felt calmer, Eiji decided to prepare for the next scene.
'Hhh.. just left it.. I can't do anything to the past. I may not keep sad all the time too. Haven't I said to Fuji that I want him to be happy with Tezuka? Yesterday was the past, tomorrow will be the future, today is a present. That's why I must appreciate it.. Come on Kikumaru Eiji! You can do that!'
New part.. (when Eiji was in the changing room)
Akira walked in a countryside, tried to search for a new place to live.
Akira : I know, I must have been hurted Souji's heart. But, I have no choice. If he knew the real reason, he must hate me. I'm sorry Souji.. I didn't mean to hurt you.. I really don't want to see you sufferring because of me.. but.. I don't want you to hate me either..
Scene by scene have been passed..
That evening, Souji was sweeping in front of his house.. Suddenly, he heard a voice that seemed familiar on his ears.
Akira : Souji..
Souji: brother! he dropped the broom and spontaneously hugged his big brother
Akira: Souji.. let's talk inside the house..
Souji: uhum.. nodded
The two of them entered the house and sat in the living room. Souji brought Akira a glass of orange juice. That is Akira's favourite
Souji: please drink, aniki.. this is your favourite, isn't it?
Akira: y..yes.. thanks..
After a few seconds..
Akira: Souji..
Souji: yes?
Akira: Did you angry with me?
Souji: of course not! Why would I!
Akira: I mean.. that time.. I said harsh things to you..
Souji: that time.. if I said I'm okay, that would be a lie.. I..
before Souji (/Eiji?) could finish his words, Akira (/Fuji) hugged him strongly. Eiji was so shocked. This act wasn't written on the scenario!
In his heart, Fuji already sure that he wanted to apologize properly to Eiji with this drama, especially when he saw Eiji's crying before. He regretted all things he already done to Eiji. He knew that he had taken a wrong decision and this time.. he really wanted to apologize and made up everything..
Akira: Souji.. I'm sorry.. I.. I don't mean to hurt you.. You're my brother, my only brother! The one who is precious to me. I love you Souji.. then Fuji whispered on Eiji's ears, "yes.. I.. I really love you, Eiji.."
Souji: Eiji surprised. Sure he is! But he tried to control his feeling and continued the drama with improvisation I love you too, brother.. Everyday, I always tried to think.. that.. you must have a reason to do all of those things. I believe you. Yes, I believe you, because I love you.. like my own brother..
Fuji released his hugging and looked at Eiji. The two of them almost cried..
Akira: Souji. I do have a reason to keep this a secret from you. Do you promised you won't hate me even if I tell the truth?
Souji: of course I promise.
Akira: well.. about a month ago, I had been given a job to investigate a group.. like yakuza. I tried so hard to search for information and a way to catch them. Until one day, the police have caught half of the members. Somehow, the leader of the group knew that I am the head of the investigation, so they want to slander me. I don't know how.. they succeed to put a bag of heroine in my bag.. and makes the story short.. I was suspected as one of their group.. But, I tell you the truth, Souji.. I'm not one of them.. really..
Souji: smiled I believe you. I know you're an honest person. I know you very well..
Akira: Souji.. you believe me just like that? What if I really use that heroine?
Souji: If it's true, you won't ask me like this. :D Hey brother, I'm an university student.. I;m not stupid! I know the characteristics of heroine user. Don't worry.. I'm sure you won't be punished. And. Maybe, I can't do anything to help you on the investigationor anything.. But, one think you must always remember.. Even if the whole world against you, I am always on your side. I'll be with you.. if you don't mind, of course..
Akira: Thanks Souji.. You're the best!
they laughed together
Weeks later, Hitomi Akira has been proved innocent on the invertigation. And the gripu of yakuza had been caught, completely. Akira came back to work in the police department as a senior in his young age. Akira and Souji live happily ever after.. (eh? Why does it seems like a fairy tale ending! Maa, ii ka:D)
-the drama was finished-
Onthe backstage, Fuji hugged Eiji.
" I'm sorry, Eiji.." he whispered near Eiji's ears.
" it's okay, Fuji.." Eiji whispered back.
The curtain closed..
TBC..
When I mentioned about the sentences which Eiji said in the last part of this chapter, I really meant that that sentences really exist in a manga I had seen before. Do anyone of you know what manga I talk about:D
Well.. please wait for the last chapter okay? I hope I could update soon.. xD
