Do not hate me for forcing you to review cause I'm kind of frustrated to write without reviews, you know. I'


The colourful rainbow world bleached to none other than a pale Azure as she soaked herself into the water. She had never felt so heavy before, as if the water had been absorbed into her body like a piece of dry cloth that was left alone in the ocean.

She inhaled the cold night breeze as deep as her thought. Sighing, she dipped her head and swam for the darkest and deepest corner of the swimming pool.

The water was cold.

The water in the swimming pool was as cold as his heart. The idea had been playing from time to time as she continued to swim in the chilly water. In the end, she forced herself back to the surface.

Her heart was trying to deny the obvious changes in him but she couldn't. She gasped, as if the notion was choking her throat.

The water can flow.

She knew she was losing him little by little. These days, she could hardly feel the temptation that he had brought once upon a fairy tale in her life. These days, he was no longer the Kyo whom she used to know. These days, he was a stranger to her.

But he loved her, didn't he?

She let the water to flow in between the open gap of her fingers. That was when she realised the fact; everything in the world has gap between one another including love. She realised that there was a gap between herself and Kyo, and the gap was getting bigger and bigger and she failed to fix it. Yet, she could still hold it until the day she had to let him go.

The day he had to move away from her and went to find another branch to perch.

That day will arrive.

At least, she had attempted to protect it. At least, the bond between them wasn't over yet. At least, that day was still further away. At least… At least, he was still her possession.

Kyo placed the two coffee mugs on the table side by side. He couldn't believe that he had gone to the hospital canteen so often in the past five days with the hospitalized woman.

He sat down on the plastic tool.

"When are you going home?"

Stillness.

"What about your husband?"

The question stabbed her like a sharp thorn. Lately, the word husband had never come to her liking. She watched the water swirled to her movement rhythm.

"Oi, why aren't you speaking?"

"I don't want to go home", she suddenly speak. Kyo, incredulity the answer, narrowed his crimson eyes. Then, he offered the raisin biscuits that he had brought from the office to her. Yuya gave a tiny beam; yet, her emerald iris was reflecting her inner thought. Kyo could see it through her.

"You ran away from home, didn't you?"

Yuya nodded her head in despair. She had, indeed ran away from the so called home. Kyo, hating himself for questioning too much frowned. He took a sip of the coffee.

"I have a friend. He might let you stay", he said. Yuya, cocking her head, framed a shock and distrusting gaze at him. She was anxious. Kyo grinned and added some more sugar lump into the bitter beverage.

"Don't worry", he paused, "that friend of mine, he's blind".

-

"Hello".

Tokito raised her head and was shocked to find Akira standing before her. He was wearing quite unusual clothes; yellow pants with red and blue checker boxed shirt. The combination was not matching each other but for a blind person, that was not a big problem.

"Son of a bitch, what do you want?" she asked in a strop. Akira who was well known for his blooming smile didn't mind to hear Tokito throwing curses at him. Instead, he pecked on her forehead.

"I miss you so much", he said. Tokito blushed.

"My god, you don't have to announce that to the public. Seriously Akira, what do you want", she asked in a gentler tone. Truthfully, she missed him so much as he did but he was very busy with his work lately. Tokito thought that was a bit suspicious of him but learning to love was too trust.

Akira cupped her head. "I want to kiss you", he said in a French dialect. Tokito pushed his hand away. In anger, she snapped, "Enough of flirting already! I know you came here on a reason, so spill it out!" She poked his finger with the blunt pencil in her grip.

The naughty boy moved closer until their nose touched. "I'm taking a girl into my apartment", he whispered at last.

"What?" she cried in disbelief. Feeling a bit disturbed, she gritted her teeth and her eyebrows twitched. "YOU!!!" her voice echoed along the corridor.

Her workmate turned to look at her and reminded, "Keep down your voice, Kito".

Tokito apologized and returned back into her affair. She grabbed Akira's bushy hair and pulled it hard. Akira, trying his best to keep his voice as low as possible groaned in pain. Yet, he was still grinning.

"I know you'll be mad at me and I'm so glad that you did", he said suddenly. Puzzled, she stopped shaking him and stared right on his face. "Why did you say that?"

"Well, that girl is Kyo-san's friend. So, I'm helping her".

"Kyo-san?"

"You know the crimson hair guy with red eyes that you told me you had mistaken him to be your patient".

"So, does that mean…."

Reading her mind, he answered, "Nope, nothing funny between us".

She released her grab. She should have known that Akira wasn't a person that would betray her easily. She was being stupid because of her jealousy while he was honest in his affair.

Akira, sensing that she was about to cry pulled her towards him. "Don't cry, I'm sorry", he said in an even sweeter tone than before.

But then, they were interrupted by a sudden cough. Both of them turned to look at Tokito's workmate. "Kito, this is a hospital, as you can see. Can you guys flirt somewhere else?" said the frustrated nurse and continued doing her work.

Tokito freed herself from his embrace and sat back on the stool. She kept herself in silence. "I love you", he uttered the 3 words that she had been waiting for and headed straight for the exit.
