Dreams

She could have easily forgotten his name. All she knew that he bore the same family name as her. There were many Kagamines in the world so she did not bother about it.

After all, he was just a universalistic cab driver.

However, when the stranger spoke, she immediately could tell that he was that driver.

The reason behind it was that sexy voice of his.

Chapter 5: Two Worlds

"So Luka, how is modelling going for you?"

"It's obviously going very smoothly and well for me."

"Time flies, Luka. As far as I could remember, you started modelling when you were only fifteen years old. So, that means you've been working in this exciting field for six years."

"Yes, you're right."

"During these six years of being a model, did you experience any setbacks?"

"Of course, I did. Being a model is indeed tiring but thrilling."

"How thrilling is it?"

"You'll never understand the thrill unless you become a model yourself."

"So, fans out there. If you want to be a famous model like Luka Megurine, don't hesitate to take part in the upcoming audition held by ALICE Studio. Luka, is there anything you want to say to your fans?"

"Hmm... oh yes! To all my beloved fans, have a good week ahead. And I will always love you people."

Rin switched off the television and lay back on her bed.

"Thrilling, huh..."

-:-:-:-

"Rin, wake up!"

Rin jerked awake and leapt out of bed upon seeing her mother standing near the doorstep of her bedroom. Her mother was frowning at her with arms akimbo on her waist. How long had she been asleep when she was supposed to write her reports?

"Mummy, I am almost done with my last report," Rin said as she ran to her desk to pick up a stack of papers and showed it to her mother. "All I have to do is to type the report out."

Her mother eyed at her without saying anything. Finally, she turned around and walked away, relieving the tension within Rin.

"Your dinner is ready."

Rin walked out of her room and saw her parents wearing their shoes at the entrance.

"Where are the both of you going?" Rin asked.

"We've a meeting with two of our clients," her father replied. "And your dinner is on the kitchen table so please serve yourself. We'll be back late tonight but I will check on your reports when I return home later."

With a soft click, the door closed and Rin was left alone again.

It did not matter to her anyway because she was already used to it.

"Banana cake! Banana cake! Banana cake!" Len chanted excitedly as a small plate of sliced banana cake served before him. "Orange pudding! Orange..."

"Shut up and eat your banana cake!"

Len stopped and looked at his mother with a grin.

"I miss your desserts, Mum."

"Stop acting like a small kid," his mother said in a joking manner and sat next to him. "So, how's the gathering last night? Did you see Kaito and Meiko?"

"Yes, they were there and it was quite... fun."

"Are they still still studying?"

Len nodded and replied, "Yes, they are currently studying in the same university. Frankly, I was surprised that Meiko could actually make it to a local university. As far as I could remember, she used to fail most of her subjects and could hardly promote to the next grade."

She chuckled and patted her son with a cheeky grin. "Well, that is the power of love."

"The power of what?" Len nearly spitted the cake out of his mouth and then he stared confusedly at his mother.

"Love."

"Oh... you mean..."

"You would have probably realised that too, son." She looked down and smiled to herself. "I've never thought that she would never give up on him... even up till today, though he is too slow to realise it."

"But... he likes another girl. I have already met her a few times and I think she is... rather nasty."

His mother frowned and reprimanded him, "That's a bad thing to call a girl!"

"It's the truth. She is bipolar. She could suddenly shout angrily at you out of nowhere for no particular reason. Furthermore, I nearly had a headache last night because of her. For goodness sake, I still can't understand why he likes her!"

Len threw a tiny piece of that sliced cake into his mouth and chewed it.

"Does she like him too?" she asked excitedly.

"I don't know. In fact, I don't know anything about her. All I know that she smokes cigarettes."

She just nodded quietly and leaned against the back rest of the chair. The apartment became so quiet that only the soft clanking sound made by the fork hitting the plate could be heard. She missed the light gentle yet dreadful smell of cigar which she used to smell everyday whenever she stepped into this apartment after work. She missed cleaning up the irritating ashes on the floor. She missed how energetic she used to be as she was known for her incessant scoldings in this Kagamine household in the past.

She missed him- her husband.

"I'm sorry, Len," she spoke softly. "If it's not for me, you might be already in a vocational school studying fashion design, or maybe a university majoring in arts. Because of me, your dreams and future were crushed."

Len looked up and saw how crumpled his mother's face was. She looked guilty and sad but he knew it was not her fault. That was fate and it was supposedly meant to be like this for him. He had longed accepted his fate and continued to work hard in other aspect and area of life.

He had already given up everything in the past and decided to start anew with a job which was being a cab driver.

He patted on his mother's back and said gently, "It's not your fault, Mum. It is nobody's fault. Sometimes, things do not happen the way we wanted them to be. And sometimes, those things are blessings in disguise."

She looked at her son's warm smile and teared up.

"I believe," he continued as he embraced his mother. "God will lead me the way."

"Hot news update! Luka Megurine is going to be present on the first day of modelling audition to see the performances. No, she is not a judge but she will be a figure who will give encouragements and advises to those who will be taking part in this on that day!"

"Hi! This is Luka! How have you guys been? Did you enjoy your Saturday? Well, apart from what the reporter has just said earlier, ALICE Studio will soon be announcing the actual dates of audition!"

"That's great to hear! So guys, don't miss the announcement!"

"Or else, I will be sad."

"Oh dear, Luka. Don't be sad. I'm sure that your fans wouldn't want to see you sad..."

Len pulled the plug out from the socket and hung the loose wire over a hook.

His mother looked angrily at him and snapped, "What are you doing? Put the plug back into the socket!"

"I want to sleep," he retorted. "And there was nothing interesting to listen."

She walked over to unhook the wire and waved the plug at him.

"Then, go back to your room and sleep. I am going to turn on the radio again."

Len groaned, "What is so interesting..."

"Shut up, little boy."

He glared at his mother for awhile and finally sighed in defeat. "Fine! Lower down the volume so I won't hear a thing!"

After saying that, he walked into his room and slammed the door shut. He threw his whole weight on the bed and rested his head on his comfy pillow. As he shifted his head to the side, he looked out of the small window and noticed how round and bright the moon was in the clear dark sky.

"Promise me, Len. Promise me that..."

His eyes widened and he immediately sat up. As he looked around the room, he put his hand under his pillow and pulled out his old sketch book. His fingers ran over the cover and then he turned it over, revealing the first page of the book. He stared down at his drawing and sighed.

"Luka... Megurine, huh..."
