Enchanting Moment
I couldn't fall asleep, every time I tried to close my eyes, I saw Taichi. It's funny how I could never picture his face in my mind, but I could always clearly picture his eyes...those mesmerizing eyes of his, haunting my very existence day after day, night after night. Drops of tears feathered down my cheeks helplessly from the corners of my eyes as I gasped for air. I actually felt my heart aching, or maybe it was my chest. Waves of pain forced me to clutch my night gown tightly with both hands. Wincing, I slowly got up from my bed and opened the bed room door. The living room was dark and cold as I hugged myself. I glanced at the windows and wondered the existence of an alternative world where...Taichi..and I can be together. Together, as...
lovers.
I gently whispered that word, taking my time, savoring the taste of imagining the possibility of a happy ending.
"Hi..kari?" A voice broke the eerie silence in the living room. Taichi's strong figured appeared under the moon light that shone brightly through the transparent windows. "What are you doing here? You're shivering." Taichi frowned as he took off his robe and put it on me.
I found it hard to be adjusting to reality. My blank stares wandered from the window to Taichi. "I couldn't sleep..." I gave a forced smile.
"Oh...me either." Taichi replied with his usual calm voice and grabbed me a chair.
Sitting myself, I rested my head on my left hand and once again tilted to the window.
"Taichi...?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you ever feel like...there is a parallel world out there?" I asked absently.
"Maybe, why do you ask?"
"I don't know..." Noticing how ridiculous I just sounded, I hid my face in Taichi's robe.
I heard Taichi chuckling softly as I felt him putting his arms around me. I smiled and clung to his chest. It was an enchanting moment; I felt as if I was floating in the clouds. I don't know when I fell asleep, but I remember feeling happy...although it was in a pathetic dream world that I created to deceive myself, I didn't care. I had Taichi there with me...holding me, it was enough...enough...
