After class:
Asami was walking on the school pathway when suddenly it was raining.
"Oh, really! What a climate change." A while ago it was a great sunny morning and now!Oh God! The weather nowadays really stranged huh. She thought.
"How can I go home early in this kind of situation?"
"It's raining." A strange voice bring back her soul from her outside world. That voice is strange yet familiar to her. It is very comfortable, it's like that it wipes away all of her agonies and fears. But when she turns back, she found him again. And it's like that everything was starting to happen again.
"Yeah, it's pretty obvious."
"Haven't you remember anything?" he asked while watching on the raindrops.
"There's nothing to remember." Asami said coldedly.
They stay that for a long time. He gave to her his black jacket. "Seems like your being cold. Just like before."
She just stared him with a cold look in her eyes.
"Looking to this drops of rain falling to the ground. I realize it's been a while."
"Why are saying all of nthis to me?"
"Ijust remember the old times whenj im with you."
"And what you are trying to say?
"If we could bring it back all over again."
"And then hurt me for the second time around? Ryo Hinata?"
"I can't do that to you, and I won't."
"But you did it. I was hurt already. Well let's not talk about it anymore."
"Can't I ask for another chance?"
"Well, you already had your chance but you've missed it. No matter how hard you try to bring back the old times, at the end of the day you will realized that old times are just meant to be reminisced." And then she walked away even thiugh it still raining. She could feel the raindrops mixing to her tears. Urghhh! She couldn't help it. The memories were flashing back again and again. She still remember how she found out everything. How they all laugh at her. How she gave up everything for him while everyone thought of her that she's very stupid. And how it affect her emotionally. She suffered a lot from that painful past. And she won't allow it to happen again. She will never hurt by that jerk Ryo Hinata anymore.
"Never! For the rest of my life!" She said firmly.
As Ryo Hinata looked at Asami running in the middle of the rain. He wants to follow her, to huged her tightly and beg for her forgiveness, even if he knows that he's not really worth to have that second chance. He felt very devastated. Yeah! He has many regrets now. If he just told her earlier about those things, he could not be like this anymore, and they're still together. It's his mistake, he loved her but he lied to her to her. He's a worthless being that even for the woman he loved had left her and made her suffer in pains just for his fame and being the best of their school. And now ha can't turn back the time anymore. He has the chance but he missed it and now he must face the truth that they're notn meant for each other anymore. He cry in agonies. He love her so damn much, he can't help it. He can't live without her. The days that asami was not with himwere the days of his distress and pain. And the most hurtful is that he's just a stranger now, for the woman he loved.
"I haven't told you half enough and the year rush by as swiftly as the shadow of a bird in a summer sky. I love you as the gold of rising sun. my summer sunrise." He shouted while crying in the middle of the rain.
"Iam not your summer sunrise anymore. I'm more likely a sunset that reminds you that in a blazing summer day, there still an end. A sunset that always means goodbye and you have to face the start of the darkest part of thye night without knowing what faith would bring you."
Asami stayed there for a very long time. Watching Ryo crying in the middle of the rain. She admitted to herself that she still love him. But LOVE? Love is not enough to bring back all over again. To start and continue the things that are likely didn't happen in the past. LOVE is not just the key to their relationship. Things had changed now. There was already a gap built them apart. And that will never break anymore. It will serve as her protection from him. He lied to her before, no doubt he will do it all over again. Its better to be safe rather than to feel and suffer the pain of all his lies and prevarications.
She give focus to other direction and walk away without taking glance to the place of where the man she ever loved stood up.
"From now on, I will be a numb and insensitive woman. No one can ever hurt me again. Never!" She hist with a smile.
ASAMI'S HOUSE:
"What?" Asami horifies about the news her mom told to her when she arrived home. "No way! I won't leave this house for good. And I dont wanna be with him!"
"We've already decided. You have no choice."
"But mom. How could you do this to me? You've already dicided? Now you wanna control my life. Now that I've already controlled it. No, I'm not leaving."
"You have to. No buts, pack up your things and were leaving tommorow. Your father is expecting us to come there. And treat him as your father not like other..."
"Nonsense being? Well his a nonsense, a worthless man! He left us for another family and now he want us to come back to him again. Am I insane to do that? Hell, no!"
"You have no choice. Well maybe its your time to fix things with him. He's your dad on the first place anyway and you know... just give him a chance."
"For what? For hurting us again, mom? Im tired of it. He has his chance when we are family, but when he made the decision. Im sorry there's no chance I can give anymore."
"just do it for me sweetheart." her mom pleased her. "Please, just this one. You know, Im not around here for the next 3 weeks. I can't take care of you. Im in a honeymoon..."
"With that bullshit freak..." she concluded. Yeah her mom got married with this american man named John Smith.
"You know, give a try. Maybge things would change. Okay? So I gotta go to my room. You can spend summer there while entering the summer sessions. The village was very near to your school. Plus, with your- Dad."
"hahaizt..." she just felt very uncomfortable. With her dad in a house? What an ehrrshit. Urghhhh...
