'It's him. It's him...'
'No! Mayura, you forgot him a year ago ... just do it again ..'
Mayura didn't know what was going on with her head. She kept on remembering him. It was like it's his day to be remembered out of the whole year that has passed.
"Mayuraaaaa! Are you there? Hello?"
Someone was waving their hands in front her face until she finally woke up from her daze. "Eh? Hayato?"
"Who else would it be?" Hayato said with a smug look that Mayura would gladly break to million pieces.
"I don't know, maybe someone better," Mayura said and shrugged.
Hayato Kono was Mayura's boyfriend and now her ex. Hayato was a year older than her from her old school and they were friends until he asked her out. He was funny and stupid but she liked that about him. The way he could make a serious problem a joke. The way, he tried helping her move on. The way, he was the only one who knew about her problem that been breaking her for a year. But that all changed when he cheated behind her back and snitched on her.
"How dare-"
"Just get to the brings you here, Hayato?" she asked looking at him straight in the eyes.
"I was having a boy talk with Tenma, why? You already regret our break up?" he smirked, a player's smirk.
"Nope, I don't regret it, not even one bit," she said smiling happily, "And did you say a boy talk? Since when do you even do that?"
"Mayura, don't piss me off," Hayato said through his teeth.
"Sorry, but that's what I do best for snitches like you," Mayura glared as Hayato opened his mouth to say something but closed it.
"Sorry," he whispered, regret all shown on his face, "I didn't mean to.. just things happen and- "
"Save it, kono. I don't want to hear it," she said as she start walking toward the exit, "I don't want to hear it," she whispered.
"Mayura," she turned, "He's back," he said as a tear start running down his face. He didn't understand why he was crying. After all he did to her, he was suppose to be happy that finally she'd be happy but he couldn't, something deep inside him was sad that he's back. The reason he met her was him. The things that led him to her was him. Everything was about him.
"I'm happy," he lied. He was never happy not even one bit. The days when they were together. The day they broke up, the days after they parted away, he was never happy.
Mayura didn't reply. She just pulled the doors opened and start walking to the place that was the source of happiness and her sadness. The amusement park.
'Who was back? What did he mean by that?' She thought as she walk pass some children.
'HIM!' her brain shout back.
'No ... Hayato is probably trying to effect me by saying that .. he can't be back ...can never be,' she thought.
"Miss! Miss!" a brown headed girl with red bright eyes around the age of five said jumping up and down letting her two pony tails fly.
"Ah, yes?" Mayura replied not knowing how to address the girl.
"Can you help?!" she asked excited.
'She sure is one excited girl with lots of energy .. just like Roku-'
"Yes, what can I help you with, my lady," she tried to immediate Superman's voice.
The brown headed girl giggled, "You're funny. I like you!"
"What does a beautiful girl like you need, my lady?" Mayura asked trying her best to sound like Superman but failed as she start coughing through words because of how deep she try to sound.
The girl laughed, "Can you get me that balloon? I popped my balloon,"
Mayura nodded her head even though she actually couldn't see a balloon through the colorful amusement park. "Let's go!" The girl pulled her hand excited toward the crowd, God knows where. "H-hold on a s-second," Mayura stultered of fear she may knock some people on her way.
Mayura was panting when the girl finally stop running with her, "Whoa! You really are a bullet full of energy!"
The girl giggled and start playing with the tip of her dress, suddenly shy, "I get that a lot,"
Mayura stood up and bend down at the same eye level as the girl, "So where is that balloon?"
"There!" the girl pointed.
Mayura stood up and met her gaze but froze when she did. "That's. .."
A load of memories flew through her head like a video tape. The memories of them, him. The memories that haunted her for days, the memories that killed her every night, the memories she wish she lived in.
"Hey! I want that yellow balloon, get it for me!"
"Calm down, Mayura .. it's just a balloon for God sake,"
"Are you going to get it or what?"
"Which one again?"
"THE YELLOW ONE!"
"Okay okay .. no need to make a scene out of it,"
"Thank you shi-"
"Miss? Are you okay? I said I want the red balloon," the little girl said pulling Mayura's shirt down.
"Eh? Y-yes, the red balloon? Wait here and I'll get it, okay?" Mayura said and jogged toward the balloon seller.
"Excuse me but can I have a red balloon?" Mayura asked the balloon seller.
The balloon seller turned to face Mayura and when he did, his eyes widen, "Ah! It's you! From last year, the last yellow balloon buyer!"
"Eh? Y-you remember me?" Mayura asked confused.
'Damn! I really need a brain check up, I can't even remember what I ate yesterday and he remembered last year last yellow balloon?!'
"Who could after that funny scene?" he giggled as if he was replaying the scene in his head for a thousand times now, "So do you want a yellow balloon agian?"
"Ah-no, a red one please,"
He handed her a red balloon. She thanked him and he waved. She returned to the girl and give her the balloon.
"Thank you! Thank you!" the girl start jumping again.
"Hana! Where were you!" a lady who was in her twenties who had the same red eyes like the girl, came running then hugged the girl that's now Hama.
"Mom! Look! Look! She bought me a balloon! A red balloon!" Hana said, showing her the balloon.
"Oh God! Hana you did it agian," she said, "I'm sorry if she was bothering you in some way. Hana! Aplogise,"
"Actually, Hana was a good girl and she didn't bother me at all," Mayura smiled and winked at Hana.
"Thank you again, miss! Bye!" Hana waved.
'...Energy bullet ...' she laughed, 'that thing sure never gets old.'
She looked around at the familiar place. This was the place all her happiness started and ended. This was the place she use to hang out with her idiot before he found someone else. This was the place she had her best day with him on that very special day. This was the place Hayato asked her out when she felt lost.
Everything started here and ended here.
This was the place she was in when she heard the news that left her empty and that was the place where she found out that Hayato cheated and snitched her.
She was walking in the amusement park quietly chewing her cheek looking at how everyone was smiling and laughing, enjoying their time.
"Mommy! Mommy! That one! That one!"
She stoped and turned to her left. There was a small area surrounded with children, teens and people of all ages playing to get the price. It had a Shot and Win sign writen really big in the middle. 'Shot and Win? Wait isn't it that place where ...' she thought as memories start filling up her mind again.
'No! Left .. no no no .. up! Up!'
'Left or up? Choose one!'
'Are you deaf or what? I just said up?!'
'Whatever,'
'Don't whatever me ..GO LEFT!'
'But you said up just a second ago,'
'Now it's left, fast! We don't have time! We have to win,'
'I'm doing this just because I'm forced to ...'
'But it's fun,'
'It's not fun when you have someone shouting wrong directions at you,'
'You red vampire blood sucker!'
'What now?'
'... Just get me the white tiger ...'
'Look at your face.. hahaha...hahaha...haha...'
Mayura stared at the area. The memories of that day is something she doesn't wish to forget even if she wants to forget it because of the sadness it brings her within the whole package.
"I'm only one call away
I'll be there to save the day
Superman got nothing on me
I'm only one call away"
She heard a faint song play due to the park but she heard it. This song wasn't just any song, it was the song played on one of her best days with him. She start walking toward the sound.
"Call me, baby if you need a friend
I just wanna give you love
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Reaching out to you, so take a chance"
She start walking faster toward the voice.
"No matter where you go
Know you're not alone"
She ran as the song grew louder.
"I'm only one call away
I'll be there to save the day"
She stopped.
"Superman got nothing on me
I'm only one call away"
She saw the one thing she been trying to forget. In front of her was him facing the other side. She couldn't see his face but she knew it was him.
She had the feeling it was him.
'N-n-n-no it can't be him!'
Mayura couldn't believe it. Her soul, brain and heart refused on the idea that it was him. But somewhere at the back of her mind and heart there was a feeling amd a thought that it was him.
'It must be my mind playing illusion with me .. relax Mayura ... I just need to relax. .'
She turned around without having a glimpse behind and start walking but stopped as a hand touched hers.
As she turned to face the person, her eyes widen as she met azure blue eyes staring at her.
"Mayura," he said in his husky voice.
Mayura's heart was beating really hard but this time, it was deafening her. The sound of her pulse was beating increasing as she stared at his azure blue eyes.
"Mayura couldn't say anything, her bain couldn't function properly, her mouth couldn't form words while her body just froze while her feet were rooted to the ground.
"Shimon?" Mayura whispered.
He smiled.
