CHAPTER TWO
Fuuko's eyes widened in total bewilderment. And before she knew it, her vision was beginning to blur. She wasn't expecting this. NO. She NEVER expected this. Not from Tokiya. She barely noticed the tears flowing uncontrollably from her eyes, soaking her jeans wet. She stared at him, confused as anyone can be. This isn't happening.
Tokiya adverted his eyes away, not wanting to see her painful stare. That would be the last face expression he wanted to see from her.
But isn't this their last night together?
Only God knows if she would ever forgive him or would even like to see him face to face after this night. Which for him, would be a miracle. That inevitable possibility of Fuuko hating him forever slowly killed him.
Fuuko moved her hand to reach him and silently landed her palm on his shoulder. He frowned at the sudden gesture. The feeling of her flesh on him was sending shivers down his spine. Guilt was flooding all over him more and he wished nothing but to hugged her and feel himself against her for the last time..No, forever…..and make everything worst. He terminated the idea.
There's no turning back now. He already said it, he cannot take back what he just said. He would hurt more people if he takes it back. His family. His sister. And Fuuko herself.
What the future holds for him wouldn't change, whether he would or would not break up with Fuuko. Everything was planned, everything was set, and sooner or later, that everything is gonna happened.
He hated that everything already. His dreaded wedding with the Kitajima heiress. And its ten days from now. On Fuuko's favorite season of the year. The season she'll probably curse forever after this.
If only he knew this was coming. If only he did.
"You're kidding, right?" she sniffed and even managed to force a chuckle, wiping a tear away. For the first time in her life, she felt of giving everything just to know that this is just one of Tokiya's jokes. She would love him more if it was just a joke and would forgive him right away if he was just fooling around.
But Tokiya never tells jokes nor fool around, her rational side spoke out but she remained hopeful.
And much to her hope, Tokiya lowered his head. Crashing all her hopes in instance.
"No, No…No, Tokiya tell me you're just joking! Please, Tokiya!" she almost shouted as she gripped his shoulders forcefully. Her face as pale as a dying person and her lips trembled as she said those words.
He didn't respond. Instead of facing her, he covered both his palms on his face and began to sniff. He cried. He cried like a man losing someone whom he loves so much.
Fuuko was confused as ever. This is something very horrible, something she never knew would come, or imagined. She thought it was all perfect and nothing would come their way.
She shook him off. In case he's having any confusion or whatever. She shook him hard on his shoulders, her grips constricted on both of it. If he's going nuts, then she'll shake them off away, literally if possible.
"Tokiya!" she shouted. Tears were flooding her eyes but she fought the urge to cry it all out.
He looked at her again. His eyes full of emotion which she can't comprehend. She focused her green orbs intently on his light blue ones. "Tell me you're lying, Tokiya…" she said, half-demanding half pleading, but more of the pleading. She cannot afford to lose him. Not now. Nor any other time.
Still no response but his eyes told it all. And Fuuko knows that look so much, for the two years they have shared together, she knows everything about him. She sure does. Except THIS one. She didn't see this coming.
She felt someone took her breath out from her lungs, the way he stares back at her was enough to confirm everything. He's serious. He's not lying….
It was her time to lower her head, anticipating the waterfall of crocodile tears escaping from her already flushed eyes, reddened from crying since the minute he told her he's marrying. She slowly removed her hands from his shoulders and laid it on her wet jeans. She stayed like that for a couple of minutes, sobbing and weeping silently.
It was hard for her to digest everything that just happened. The two years of perfect relationship was humbled in just one night. Two years for a night. What have she done to receive this curse?
Tokiya gazed at her. If this is their last night together, then he would take the chance to hug her all his might. And show her all the passion he had for her. He reached his hand towards her, to ease a little pain away from her…and away from him, to just forget about everything and let her feel that she's always the one he love and will love.
"Don't touch me," she whispered monotonously. "Just don't…"
He dropped his hands on his sides. He was expecting that from her. Who is he fooling? After what had just happened, is he expecting a hugged from her?
"I'm sorry, Fuuko," that was all he managed to say before getting up. He tugged his hands on the side pockets of his jacket as snow began to fall. He looked up and saw hundreds of snowflakes starting to deluge the land below with snow.
It was as though the clouds shared the same sentiment they have. The same anguish, the same suffering, the same pain. And add up the cold breeze, which was softly blowing his hair behind, making their parting more painful. Especially when their surroundings seem to empathize with the current situation.
"Why?" Fuuko asked silently, her eyes still fixed on her now completely-wet jeans.
He doesn't know how to answer her, nor what she was really asking. Whether it's 'why is he leaving her' or 'why did it happened' or some other why questions, he cant tell.
And as to answer his sudden confusion, she added. "Why are you doing this?"
He turned to look at her almost regretting what he just said after seeing her as helpless as this. He wanted nothing more but to embrace her but he know he shouldn't, and she wouldn't let him. He understood completely.
It brought so much pain to him that he's the one making her helpless, the one doing this to her. But there's nothing he can do now. His parents had planned the wedding already and his wedding with the Kitajima heiress was taking place on Christmas Day.
He can't think of something to tell her. 'Cause whatever he would say, it will not change the future, nor make her feel better.
"My parents engaged me to another girl, and they had the wedding all set already," he spoke in a minimum amount of volume, enough for both of them to hear.
She stopped sobbing to listen to what he was saying, whether it would hurt or not, she deserve to know the truth.
"When? When are you getting married?" she asked the thing he least expected her to question.
"Ten days from now…" he averted his eyes from her.
"Christmas…" she stiffened.
Tokiya nodded.
"I see," she said, though she didn't see Tokiya nod. "Aren't you fighting your love for me?" she looked up, still hopeful.
He didn't answer. As much as he wanted to, he cannot. He knows why his parents had set him on an arranged wedding. Their company's not on its very good condition and only an investment with another company could help them. The Kitajima clan was willing to invest in one condition. And that is for Tokiya to marry the CEO's only daughter, Neon Kitajima.
Another enfeebling silence was what Fuuko received from him, smashing all the hope she had. She rose up and stood behind him, feeling the cold air against her pale skin. She took a few steps backward.
Tokiya felt the sudden motion behind his back, anticipating what she'll do next, he kept silent. Then he heard footsteps, low thumping sound due to the snow that occupied the ground. It was followed by more steps, but faster this time, like she was running. His eyes broadened. FUUKO!
And before he could stop her, she was nowhere to found.
----------------TOFUU--------------------
Five days before the wedding.
"Mikagami Tokiya!" Recca burst out in Tokiya's office. Tokiya worked as the Accounting Manager in his dad's company and was busily working on the company's business accounts when the hot-tempered Recca ruptured inside, with his girlfriend Yanagi trying to calm him from behind.
He pointed eagerly at Tokiya and shouted back again. "Are you Crazy!?!? You are in a freakin' relationship and you blew it all away like that?!" (A/N: I got this line from an anonymous reviewer! Arigatou anon-san! Hope you don't mind me using ur words..gomen ne)
Tokiya gazed at him blankly, playing the i-don't-know-what-your-talking-about facial expression. Which Recca obviously didn't buy.
"I'm not as dumb as what you are Tokiya so don't give me that lousy acting," Recca snorted, rolling his eyes.
Tokiya grimaced. "And since when did humans become denser than sea-monkeys?"
"Since you broke up with Fuuko,"
Tokiya stared at him with a surprised expression written all over his face. Darn. He just got a point there, he admitted to himself. Then he turned around with his back facing them.
"How did you know?"
He cannot afford to let them see his sorrowful expression, especially now that he had no Fuuko anymore. His pride and composure are the only ones left in him, and letting this sea-monkey take it away from him would be the most embarrassing thing to happen. Afterall, he was still Tokiya Mikagami, famous for his snob appearance and death-glares.
"Fuuko told us," Recca retorted.
"Anou..Mikagami-sempai… Is it true? That you're gonna get married?" Yanagi asked.
He nodded.
Recca got madder and stormed towards Tokiya. He pulled his shoulder and made him turn around and face him. Gripping the silver-head's collar, he growled through his teeth. "Bakateru!! How could you do that, huh? How in the world could you cheat on her like this?!?!"
"Put me down, sea-monkey, you're ruining my favorite suit," Tokiya muttered, but nonetheless amused at Recca's exaggerated response at the break up. He got the right though. Fuuko was his childhood friend.
Yanagi emerged from behind and pulled Recca away, wrapping up her arms around his right elbow. "Recca calm down.." she said gently and Recca obeyed silently, sending glares at Tokiya who frowned at him in response.
Recca who was bursting with anger earlier took a deep breath and calm himself down. Yanagi smiled at him and did a mental handshake for successfully restraining him.
"So what are you going to do now? Now, that Fuuko's gone for good?" he asked Tokiya, now with much suppressed emotions.
Tokiya looked at him, baffled. "Gone for good?" he repeated Recca, giving emphasize to the word 'gone'. Recca almost smirked at his reaction.
Yanagi answered him. "We just came back from the airport, she took the earliest flight to the US, Mikagami-sempai," she looked at him with the most compassionate expression. Whatever the reasons are or whatever happened, Yanagi knows they both loved each other so much. And Tokiya no doubt, was more than hurt than anyone else at what happened.
Tokiya's next expression was priceless. NO. She. Did. Not.
Tokiya felt like his soul was taken from him and stood there, like a rock, with eyes wide as ever and lips parted apart. My Fuuko.

On the plane.
"Good Morning and Welcome in the Tokyo Airlines! Please fastened your seatbelt, we are about to take off in less than 5 minutes. Thank you and enjoy your stay!" The sound of the stewardess' voice was occupying all the passenger's ears. (A/N: Uhh…I don't know how the airline people really greet their passengers, actually I don't know anything about them. LOL…I never liked traveling though my dad have been persuading me to come along with him and travel on the airplane, so sorry if this greeting's kinda lame)
To everyone, except Fuuko's ears, that is…
You are gonna pay for this Tokiya Mikagami. I'll make you pay if it's the last thing I'll do! Fuuko gazed outside the window and grated her teeth. He hated him so much. And someday, she'll make him pay…
