Chapter 3: The encounter
Dark already engulf my town. I stood there, besides the windowpane looking outside. There was no more soul on the road and now the road was lighted with the street lamp. I slowly closed the window as the wind started to chill me to the bone. I walked to my desk, sliding chair and sat on it. I took a dark blue book, my diary. I opened the book.
Today was 23rd February. It almost two years when my last time meeting with the guy of my dream, Kanata Saionji. I still couldn't forget about him although I know he was married and he never contacted me throughout these two years. And the thing that always made me remember him most was the jacket that saved me, which I hung it on my room door. And in the next two years, I will give the jacket back to its owner again…
I checked my schedule for tomorrow. Looks like I have another blind date to attend. Well, this is my life. I will turn 25 this year, but until now, I have someone special yet. The longest relationship I hold was only for six months with Mr. Tooya. And this made my mum felt scared and gave me a long list of blind dates which I have to attend. Being a good girl to my mum, I just do what she asked me to do. But I don't think I would attend tomorrow.
Why?
There's a new café opened around my work place. And I don't want to miss the chance to be the one to taste the cake that will given free of charge for the 1st 100 customer. The free taste would start on 5pm, exactly the time I finish up my work. Free cake, here I come!
xoxoxo
Next day
I was outside the building when the clock stroke at 5pm, heading to the 'Oishii café' which just a stone away from the building where I was working. There already some people in line already when I arrived. I got myself in the line and prayed in my heart that I would able to try some of the cake too. After about 30 minutes of waiting, my prayer was fulfilled.
I was the 99th person entered the café! The reward was, a slice of strawberry shortcake. My favourite!
I placed myself at a table near the glass window. I picked p the small fork given and ct a small portion of the cake before plopped it into my mouth. It was so tasty. I closed my eyes to indulge the taste in my mouth to the fullest. Just before I picked up another portion of the cake, my eyes caught up with a very elegance car outside the window. The car stopped in front of the café, and a man wearing a tuxedo came out from the car. And the odd thing was, he was wearing a dear-like suit and nobody even cared about him.
He entered the café. My eyes still locked on him since I think he look interesting. But unknowingly, He was looking for me! As he entered the café, he walked towards my table. When he was near my table, he looked at me and smiled. He bowed a bit to me and took out something from inside of his pocket. It was a picture.
"May I know if the girl in this picture is yours?"
I took the picture and studied it. The girl inside was a blonde haired girl with emerald eyes. And the shocking thing was, the girl was me! There's no doubt about it. The place inside the picture was really familiar, but I couldn't recall where was it. I gave the picture back to the man.
"Yes. The girl inside this picture is me. Is anything I can help you?" I calmed myself although inside, my heart was on rampage.
"Apparently, yes. I need you to follow me and meet my mistress."
I gulped.
xoxoxo
The car I aboard stopped exactly outside a five stars restaurant. I never set my foot to this place before and I was totally amazed with the decoration filled inside and outside the place. The guy from before walked ahead and opened the front door. He led me to a table which one of the seats was taken by a certain pink haired lady. She was drinking tea. Slowly she put her cup down and looked at me with a sweet smile as I approached the table. I gave her a questioning look.
"Please have a sit."
I slid the chair and sat opposite of that lady. For the first few minutes, I was sitting there doing nothing except for watching this pink haired girl in front of me. She had nice wavy long pink hair. And although it was pink, it suited her very well. Her skin looked so smooth and nice. A well pampered skin. She wore a white, knee length dress which drew out the elegance within her. The clock was ticking and I started to feel pissed off. As I tried to open my mouth, she looked at me.
"You are Miss Miyu Kouzuki, right?"
"How do you know my name?"
She ignored my question. "I was Christine Saionji. But now, I'm Christine Hanakomachi…" She smiled again.
Christine Saionji…. Saionji…. Where did I hear that name before? Or was it just a coincidence?
"What do you mean by 'was'?"
"5 years ago, I was married to Kanata Saionji. I think you know who he is, right? But there's no chemistry between us although he tried his hard to save our marriage. We divorced two months ago, but I never regret anything."
I sipped my tea, trying to calm myself. This lady never appreciated her marriage. Never appreciated Kanata. Why did she marry him in the first place?
"Now," she continued, "I just found the person I really love, and he loves me back. He loves me because of me and not coming from responsibility."
I saw her want to continue, but I cut her first. "I'm sorry miss Hanakomachi. I …"
"Please call me Chriss"
I sighed, "… miss Chriss. Truly, I really glad to meet you, but I don't really have time for this. I barely know you, yet you telling me your story. I'm finished." I stood. Wanting to get away from this impossible woman.
"I have my reason. And for goodness sake please sit down and have another cup of tea. I will tell you the reason."
I stared at her who was looking down on the table. I slopped down to my seat again. Not because of her, but out of curiosity inside my heart. Why did she invite me, a total stranger, to meet her in the first place? I saw she inhaled some air to give her some courage. I waited.
"I asked you here because of Kanata…" she paused a while. "Do you love him?"
I left the question hanging. I really don't know about it myself. I just met him once. But I can deny the special feeling I grew inside. And I don't know who am I to him. But there's no way I can forget about him in my life.
"I want you to marry him."
Her words were calm but it never soothed me. I swore my eyes were popping from the socket when I heard this. Maybe I just misheard things. "Whatt! Can you say it again?"
"I want you to marry him."
I think this lady was insane.
"Until now, I still love him, and this the reason why I asked you to marry him."
This is ridiculous. She stating that she loves him yet she was divorced and now she offering his 'ex-husband' to a stranger? I must been dreaming. This can't be happening.
"All in his life, he rarely spoke to women. And when he talks about a woman, that woman must have given a great impact to him. And during our marriage he only talked about her late mother and our daughter…"
'So he has a daughter right now…' I wondered to myself.
"… and during last year, I noticed he talked about a girl name Miyu and our daughter's baby sitter, Akira." She reached for my hand that I placed on the table across her. "Please Miyu, I believe in your love to Kanata. I don't want Kanata fall into Akira's trap. I noticed that she gave our daughter a special treatment after our divorce just to grab Kanata's attention. I don't like her."
She gave me a pleading look. I stared into her eyes, tried to get the actual meaning of this.
"Think about it Miyu, you deserve Kanata better than her."
I withdrew my hands, stood and walk out the restaurant. This is too much for me…
