Secret Garden
Chapter 5
The next day, during the afternoon, the three of them went to the nearby bookstore.
You can also find there art materials such as pencil crayons, crayons, art papers and more.
As Hikari and Sakuno were scanning for the Math book, Ryoma left to buy them some snacks to eat, for they haven't had their afternoon snack.
~oOo~
"Sakuno, have you noticed where Ryoma went?" Hikari asked when she noticed her boyfriend missing.
"Oh. He went outside to buy food I think." Sakuno replied.
"Can I ask a favor?" Hikari asked again. "Oh, yeah, sure. What is it?" Sakuno said. "Please do tell Ryoma to buy me fries!" Hikari said with a big grin.
"Okay. I'll be right back." Sakuno promised.
~oOo~
While she was left alone, Hikari had time to ponder upon the revelation of Ryoma.
"Ryoma-kun, please tell me who your first love is? I promise I won't get angry. Please!" Hikari asked Ryoma while they were having picnic in the park.
"Why? Why do you keep on insisting?" Ryoma asked her back.
"I just want to know your past!" Hikari said in a loud voice, showing that she isn't happy.
Ryoma, after seeing this, decided to tell her the story of his childhood.
"There was this girl and I used to play with, in this beautiful garden. I thought we could be like that forever but I was wrong. A day came where she fell off the cliff from the garden. Her grandmother blamed me furiously and I came to the point of blaming myself too. I heard that she lost partially her memories before I came back here." Ryoma ended his story.
Hikari was sort of teary-eyed after hearing the story. Now that her lover told his story of his first love, she was more curious of who that girl was.
"What's the name of that girl?" Hikari asked.
"Nah, it's confidential." Ryoma replied while yawning.
"Ah! I'm your girlfriend. You should tell me everything! Who is it?" Hikari insisted.
This continued for a while and Ryoma, who cannot take it anymore, told her.
He moved close to her and whispers the mystery girl's name.
~oOo~
Outside, Sakuno was busy thinking about many things when she saw from the other side of the road, the handsome Ryoma carrying the snacks he bought for them.
His midnight blue hair and cat-like eyes mesmerized her and involuntarily, her legs moved towards him.
She was so absorbed towards him, she did not notice the truck.
The truck approached rapidly; there were only seconds to act to get her out of the way.
~oOo~
Seconds before the speedy truck, he noticed that Sakuno was watching him intently and moved slowly towards him.
As if time froze and all he can see was her, yet, this was cut short for he heard people whispering behind him.
He looked sideways and saw the truck coming.
"HIME!" He shouted.
He pushed Sakuno back to the other side. He heard deafening screams of the people.
~oOo~
Hikari heard a familiar voice screaming the word 'Hime'. Then she saw people rushing outside the bookstore. She also went out to see what the commotion was all about.
"Oh my God, she was his first love." Hikari thought.
She saw him hugging Sakuno so hard as if he did not want to let go. He also kept saying "I don't want you to be hurt. Please be with me."
Hearing those words was like a thousand knives piercing through her body. It made her jealous.
