Chapter 3
Questions
Sachiko picked up her bag then walked towards Tomoyo and smiled.
Excuse me for a moment
Tomoyo saw Eli with one hand over his right eye… he was shaking… but…why… Sachiko then walked towards Eli, until they were inches apart, and touched his chest. Eli just stood there… staring blankly… something's wrong… Eli averted his gaze at Sachiko…fear… anger…I do not know… Sachiko looked at Tomoyo and gestured her to wait for a bit… then Sachiko dragged Eli outside. Tomoyo took this opportunity to scan the place a bit more. White… the color of cleanliness and purity… the house itself looks so white… the walls are made of glass… Tomoyo walked towards the piano that was beneath a simple yet elegant chandelier… she sat on the chair and placed her finger on the piano keys. A piano usually reminded her of Eriol and how he usually tickles the ivories as if he's some expert.
Flashback
Tomoyo was walking inside the auditorium of Tomoeda elementary school and then she noticed a jet-black piano on the stage. She then approached it and afterwards heard a voice.
Would you like to play the piano?
'I don't really know how to…'
Would you like me to play it for you?
End of Flashback
Remembering the notes that the boy used to play… she pressed the piano keys one by one using her right hand… do… mi…sol…mi…fa…sol…la…ti…do…sol…after those few notes she noticed that Eli was already beside her with a smile across his face.
"Can we start the piece again… from what I know this piece requires three hands."
Tomoyo just nodded and Eli started to play the intro.
That day turned out pretty well, I suppose. Eli and Sachiko gave Tomoyo a tour of the manor (A/N: non-medieval). They had a great time strolling around. They also met up with a few of Eli's friends, Aiko, Sachiko's sister, Akira, Aiko's best buddy, Arika, Akira's older twin sister, Frank, Eli's best friend and Arika's fiancé (A/N: The guys and gals here are around 18 to 21). Tomoyo watched every single one of them… they were at the back of the house… in the middle of a lake, a small platform with a round table is situated and this is where they are now. Then all of a sudden, Sachiko made an announcement.
Hey guys I'd like to tell you something
All eyes were at Sachiko… She then cleared her throat… stood up and showed the back of her palm. What was obvious was that a diamond ring rests on one of her fingers.
Eli and I are already engaged
Everybody went nuts over the news… teases…laughter… Eli just smiled. Tomoyo on the other hand felt pain.
Tomoyo's thoughts
'Why?'
'Why does it hurt?'
'He's not someone special…'
'Just a friend…'
'Why is it that… I feel… it's as if he's left me…'
'What am I thinking of… he's not Eriol'
'…But…'
'Eriol… I completely forgot'
End of train of thought
Tomoyo asked what time it is and found out that she was about to be late in her meeting with her long lost friend. With that she excused herself and bade good-bye. She then neared the entrance and fond herself in front of Aiko.
'Gomen Aiko-chan… demo… I have to leave now'
Aiko stood there… lifted her head and sat eyes on the sapphire orbs… she tried to say something but fear overtook her… she walked towards Tomoyo and whispered.
P-please… help… E…ri…ol…
With that Aiko left… leaving a shocked Tomoyo... She turned around to ask Aiko what she meant but instead she found no one... she approached the door and heard a familiar voice calling out...
"Matte!"
'Eli...'
"Let me walk with you to the gate."
'Sure...'
The walk to the mansion's gate is silent and long, literally, Tomoyo walked beside Eli and vice versa... The endless rows of trees were along side them... the ground... covered in almost different shades of pink that would then to orange... trying to break the silence, Eli spoke out of the blue.
"Umm... this Eriol guy you mentioned earlier... who is he... "
Tomoyo stopped in her tracks.
'Eriol...'
Eli stopped noticing that Tomoyo wasn't walking anymore... petals were flying with the wind... pink an orange swirling in the skies... A small droplet of water fell from her eye... tracing her soft skin along her cheek...pain... Eli found himself in pain... why...
Eli's Thoughts
"Why?"
"Why is it that when you cry it feels as if I am responsible?"
"Why is it that?"
"Why does it feel that it is as if I know you so well?"
"Why... does it hurt to see you sad?"
"Why..."
End of train of thought
Eli walked towards Tomoyo's crying form... he didn't mean to hurt her...but still... he placed his arms around her.
"I... I'm...sorry"
'...'
"Please stop crying"
Tomoyo lifted her head then smiled... a shoulder to cry on... to vent her pain... a friend to tell her burdens... was all she needed... Eli released Tomoyo and he smiled... but... that smile didn't last long... biting his own lower lip was a sign of pain... pain... Eli's hand was over his right eye... shaking... he knelt on the blanket of petals...screaming but no voice came out...
'Eli...'
"..."
'Eli... daijobu desu ka?"
Tomoyo knelt beside Eli lifting his chin to make him look at her and for her to examine his face.
"Tomoyo..."
He touched her face...
"Hiiragizawa..."
