Chapter 10 – I'll Always Believe In You
When morning came, Kira woke early and went to the kitchen to cook breakfast for Miki. He was still in his pajama when he brought the food to Miki's room but she was still sleeping. He put the food on the table next to her bed and decided to go to his room and read some books since it's his only free time. He's starting to get bored, he looked on the clock. "Its 9 in the morning and yet she's still sleeping."
Time passes by slowly for Kira. He kept on looking the clock until 2 hours had already passed. He went downstairs to prepare lunch for Miki and for his mother who's going home. When everything is prepared her mother looking haggard opened the door. She's holding a big plastic bag of food and put it on the table. She wipes her sweat with her hands and sits breathing fast. "Preparing lunch? Don't bother Kira, I got my salary today and I bought food." Said her mother. She asked Kira to bring some food to Miki's room but Kira told him that Miki is still asleep. "She'll immediately get up when she smells this food.
Kira brought the food upstairs still in his pajama. When he got there, he put her lunch beside her breakfast. He's feeling a little hot in the room so he opened the window for the fresh cold air to blow inside. Miki woke up but Kira didn't notice it until she tried to sit. He rushed to helped her.
"Do you know Lacus?" asked her sister curiously making Kira surprised and excited at the same time but not showing it to her sister. "She called last night."
"What did she say?" asked Kira immediately.
"She said she'll be waiting for you in the park tomorrow morning." Hearing the word morning Kira immediately get up the bed and the two of them looked the clock. It's 11:40am.
Kira kissed her sister's forehead and went to his room to change clothes, get his bag and put his shoes. He runs down and say goodbye to her mother. He runs to the park since it wasn't that far from their house. He was breathing heavily when he got there. He looks around only seeing couples walking, kissing, and eating together but didn't see any girl who has a pink hair. "She's gone." He said disappointed looking in his watch, its 12:05pm. Tired, he sits on one of the vacant chair thinking on what excuse he'll tell her if ever they'll meet again.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Kira." Said a voice from behind. Kira looked behind and saw Lacus standing. He stands up while Lacus goes to the chair and sit. "How long did you wait? My guardian (Natarle) didn't allow me to go out this morning so I waited until she left."
"I didn't wait…" He said. "I just came here just now." Trying to make Lacus feel that it's alright.
"I'm glad you didn't wait."
"Why did you call? I mean…. Do you have a problem?" asked Kira worried putting his hand on his pocket then to his head and nod. "My sister just told me this morning, just this morning." He explained.
"Oh, the girl that I talked to yesterday was your sister. I hope she's alright." She said.
"She's alright." Then sits an inch away from Lacus.
Lacus gets the phone from her bag and showed it to Kira. "Is this yours?" Kira was surprised but didn't show his reaction to Lacus. He looked at it carefully without holding it and recognized it as Tolle's phone. But how did Lacus have his phone? That's the question playing in his mind. "Or from your friend?"
"It's Tolle's. I'm glad you have it." He answered. "Tolle would be happy."
"I'm also glad to have it." Said Lacus suddenly becoming serious, she moved the phone away from Kira. "Do you know Flay?"
Kira didn't answer until remembers a girl claiming she's their Boss' daughter and introduce her self as Flay Allster. "Flay? I know her by name?" To know if she and Kira we're talking about the same person she showed a picture of Flay from Tolle's phone. "It's her, she's Flay. Why are you asking?"
Lacus stands. "I thought that you know her. I won't be returning this phone to your friend until I printed these pictures, can you tell him that?" Kira becomes more curious of what's happening.
"May I know why?"
"Would you believe me if I told you?" asked Lacus like she's doubting Kira for she have experienced many people who doubted her words including her most beloved father.
"I'll always believe in you." Said Kira. Upon hearing those words, Lacus doubt turned into hope. She told Kira everything about the issue and why she needs the pictures. Kira decided to help her. He's not involved and has anything to do with this problem but something within him keeps telling to help her. Kira first call Tolle to say that his phone is safe and that they'll return it tonight. With this news, Tolle brightened up. Kira and Lacus printed the pictures and find the unknown man in the picture.
They went to different photo shop to look for the unknown man. When they came to the last photo shop a man came outside. Kira recognized him as the unknown man in the picture. He holds the guy, when he saw Lacus he tries to cover his face. "Can we talk to you for a moment?" Asked Kira. The man agreed with them.
Lacus gets the printed photos on her bag and showed it to the guy. "These are your work, right?" the man didn't answer. He looked the other way snobbing Lacus. "Please…" Said Lacus.
The man looked at her and felt a little guilty since he was paid to do those things. "Yes, all of those are my work. I'm sorry ok?" He then tried to run but Kira get him. "What?" he said in a low voice since he doesn't want to get attention from the people walking.
"She needs your help, please listen to her." Begged Kira.
"My friend and I became the talked of the campus because of these photos, they posted one on the bulletin board then display some on the net and the others are printed in our school newspaper. You don't know how much shame we're feeling about these false photos." Said Lacus.
"False photos? I just took pictures of you and her." Cried the man now not minding if some people start to stare at them. "How could you say false?"
"Just took pictures? What I remember in this photo is that we're on the floor but in this photo we're on a bed." said Lacus. "If you're a true photographer, you wouldn't do these things, making false photos." The man stopped for second and think of what he has done. She's right; a good photographer wouldn't make false photos. He apologized and asked her what he can do to solve the problem he had caused. But Lacus didn't ask for anything. For her, his apology is enough.
"But if you need me, I'll be glad to repay my sins to you and to your friend." He said before leaving Kira and Lacus. He gave his address so that if Lacus changed her mind, she can go to him.
When everything is alright. Lacus and Kira find themselves walking on the street looking around. Helping Lacus made Kira feel complete that day for unknown reasons. They found themselves hungry in the middle of their quiet walk in the street. They haven't eaten lunch and it's already 4:30. Lacus tried to treat Kira for his help but Kira paid for her. They just ate burgers and fries in a fast-food and talked about their everyday life. Kira then remembers the girl in the photo, he remembers her as the girl in gate and the girl he saw when he's in the bus. "What's the name of your friend?" he asked after drinking soda.
Before answering Lacus finish chewing her food first. "Her name is Cagalli, do you know her?" wiping her mouth with a tissue. She looked at Kira and saw ketchup beneath his lips. She gets another tissue and wipes his but Kira feel shy and immediately stand up turned back from her while wiping it with his hanky. "So… Do you know my friend Cagalli?" she repeated her question.
"Not exactly." He answered still not looking at her direction. "I've seen her several times. The last time I saw her is I think three weeks ago when she's walking with her friends late at night." Said Kira returning to his seat. Lacus stopped eating. "Is there a problem?"
She looked at Kira. "I forgot, today is her game. Do you want to watch it?" Kira said yes. The two of them take the bus and went to their rival school gymnasium.
It was 4th quarter and only few minutes left. Cagalli's team needs 4 points to defeat the other team. Lacus and Kira watched them from above. "I hope they'll win." Said Lacus. Miriallia was already sitting on the bench looking tired. The other team shoots again leaving Cagalli's team to gain 6 points. She calls for a time out.
"We need to win ok? Because if we didn't, our team is doomed!" She shouted thinking about the student council soon to be winner, Miguel. Like her teammates she's also given up on winning this game but when she saw Lacus waving her hand to her with a guy. She gained faith but didn't remove his eyes from the Kira. Who's that guy?
The game is really tough but they won after Cagalli did some miracle shots. "They won!" Cried Lacus joyfully to Kira who also seems happy and looking at Cagalli. "I want you to meet her." She pulls Kira but he refuses since it's time to go to work." Are you sure?"
"I'm sorry." Apologized Kira. Lacus handed him Tolle's phone.
"Please tell your friend Tolle that Miriallia is the one who found it and Miriallia is my friend. Thank you for everything, Kira." Said Lacus. Kira wants to say something to her but didn't dare to instead he rushed outside to go to his work.
Lacus went to Cagalli. "You won!" Cagalli then hugs Lacus.
"Ha! Not because you won doesn't mean it'll stay." Insult Flay.
"Just say sorry Flay and I'll forgive you." Lacus told her seriously. Flay just ignores her and walks away from them. "Just say sorry Flay, that's all we need." Continue Lacus as Cagalli looks at her curiously.
