CHAPTER 6- Giotto di Vongola and Tsuki
After two long years, I finally met him. The person in the name of Ieyasu Taru who was my first friend, my trusted confidant, and my first lover.
Who would even guess that he will turn out to be my boss, Vongola Decimo or as he is now called, Giotto di Vongola.
I don't know how many minutes passed after I said that single word. Reborn must have noticed my feelings because he gave an apologetic and sad look at me.
My mind was in loops, I don't know what to do. However after a little thinking I decided what people usually do...I ran out of the room and out of their sights.
I ran into the hallway leading to the elevator with tears already spilling from my eyes. No one knows how I've missed him, how I wanted above all to say 'I love you' to him again, but I was the one that destroyed our bond years ago.
The elevator went all the way down to the first floor. I went to the garage and looked for Reborn-nii's car. From experience, I always know that Reborn always left his car keys inside the car and leaves it unlocked. I went inside the car, turn on the ignition, and speed my way.
While inside the car I can't help but remember our past, our memories, and our time together, there was never a sad and boring time when I am with him. He is the only person who can always make me smile even if I am sad.
Flashback:
"Say Tsuna, you're really cold to me for the last two weeks. Did something happen maybe I can help?" Ieyasu asked me while we were at the park.
"There's nothing wrong Ieyasu, you're just over thinking. I'm perfectly fine", I coldly answered and hid my eyes using my bangs. "Say Ieyasu, I've been meaning to tell you something lately".
"What's it Tsuna? You know you can always ask me anything you want", Ieyasu smiled at me but I chose to ignore it.
"I know this is very sudden but this is the right time to tell you this. Ieyasu Taru I don't hold any feelings for you anymore, let's break up", I looked at him in the eyes and witnessed his change of emotions, from worry to shock.
"This is a joke Tsuna right? Tell me is there something wrong? Maybe I can help you with it", Ieyasu said and nervously said everything. He is in this state because above all I know very much that he loves me.
"There is nothing you can do Ieyasu, everything's over you can't do anything to save this relationship anymore. Now that you are hearing this, LEAVE", I coldly said and saw him sadly left with tears in his eyes and a dejected look.
"Goodbye Ieyasu", I softly said and started to cry knowing that I lost the only person whom I love and who loves me. "This is for the best".
That dreadful day was the worst day in my life...I cried for weeks and days, lost sleep and appetite, and lived like a walking zombie.
I stopped the car near the lake on the outskirts of Sicily. Inside the car I continued to cry until my face became red from crying. I stayed inside for 10 minutes until a knock got my attention.
Outside the car is no other than Reborn...
He smiled at me and gestured me to go out from the car while I complied. We both walked towards the direction of the gardens near the lake. We sat on the bench facing the lake and said nothing at all until Reborn spoke.
"I'm sorry. If I didn't call you..." Reborn-nii said and apologized to me.
"It's alright Reborn-nii if I didn't know his identity today I'm still bound to find it later", I said while wiping my tears with the handkerchief Reborn gave me earlier."How's he living these two years by the way"?
"Ieyasu Taru is the Japanese name of Giotto and he adapted it when he studied in Japan. As you already know Giotto is the grandson of Vongola Nono or whom we casually call as Timoteo. During this two years I've been there to see him grow to what he is now", Reborn said.
"Why didn't you tell me that he is Vongola Decimo?"
"I wanted to, but the Arcobaleno insisted that you discover it yourself"
"Say, Reborn, is he happy now?"
"Who knows...ask his guardians...however he smiles less", Reborn answered.
"I see...I'm glad though that he is doing fine", I said and directed a teary smile at Reborn.
"You've never changed do you, always thinking of others before yourself", Reborn stated and what he said made me laugh. "Anyway Tsuna, let's go home now"
"But it's still lunch and my work ends at 6PM", I told Reborn and at that time my phone rang.
"Hello, Tsuna speaking...Hello Luce-nee is there something I can do for you...Why do you ask?...No I'm with Reborn-nii...What?Now?...Alright...Okay bye..."
"Let me guess first she called to ask where you are now, and who you are with; and second she needed Tsuki now"
"Correct as always Reborn-nii...by the way what should I do about work?", I asked him and we walked towards his car."Now let me guess, you ran all the way from the mansion to here?"
"Correct as always Tsuna, it's just a quite short distance. Hop in the car already I'll drive you to the studio and I'll do something about your work at the HQ"
"Thank you Reborn"
It was after 20 minutes that we arrived at the studio and waiting at the entrance is no other than Luce-nee. She was busy talking with my producer, Hilda and stopped when they felt our presence.
"At last your here, I've been waiting for ages. Tsuna dear, the make-up artist is already waiting for you, your dress is already set up...all we need to do is to have a dress rehearsal for your upcoming concert. You're going to be really busy. Reborn dear please ensure that Tsuna will not be pressured with the work in the Vongola HQ okay", Luce-nee said with a cold tone in her voice which made me sweatdrop. Reborn in the other hand is paralyzed with fear because of Luce-nee's threat. Only people out of their minds would try to make pregnant women angry.
After Reborn-nii left I hurriedly went inside the dressing room to change my outfit. It is a light blue dress which ended slightly above the knees with dark blue designs. A dark blue jacket is also placed to wear over the dress. Blue ankle boots are also prepared together with dangling sapphire earrings and a silver necklace with the moon insignia as the design.
After a few minutes, my makeup artist...Rietta entered the room and started to do her job of putting light amount of make-up as I insisted. Ten minutes passed and I am ready for the dress rehearsal, aside from putting a silver chain belt on my hips, I also wore a dark blue mask to hide my identity.
The staff that were busy preparing the stage stopped their work when they saw me. As what they always say my beauty when I appear as Tsuki is quiet hypnotizing that they can't help but stare at me for a while.
I gave them a cough as a sign to say that I am ready for the rehearsal and that was quiet effective because they began to scurry to their respective places. While I am on stage, Luce and Hilda are downstage still verifying the order of the songs I have to sing.
"Ah Tsuki, you're already there? Then let's start with the rehearsal", Luce said and the music started to echo in the auditorium.
Right now, I am Tsuki, the renowned singer and idol coming from the Vongola Inc. Entertainment section. I am confident in whatever I do, cunning, and very graceful. I am not afraid to face anything...
The familiar music of the song reached the end of the instrumental part and I prepared myself to sing the lyrics.
I can't stop my love for you
We spoke toward the future
Like we had a place we could go together
Oh baby I can't stop my love for you
I'll become your everything I believe in your promise
To never let go of my hand as we walk
The lyrics sound's familiar right? Of course it is, I made the lyrics myself. This is the song I made to deliver my message to the only person I love. Even though it is already over for us...I can't help but keep loving him.
Before our eyes, the mystery of this incomplete map
Has spread and expanded
But it moved my heart so much...
However you arrange your words,
These thoughts can never be told enough
This love is whispering the meaning of affection
The first time we meet he was desperate to know my name and from that moment I started loving him.
I can't stop my love for you
Because the speed at which we both will walk
Is surely not the same...
If it happens am beside you and you drop my hand
So we don't lose one another, come back and get me, okay?
I won't say lies like "I hate you" but
For "I love you" that's never a lie isn't it?
If I can't see you, if I can't be with you
Don't you dare start getting lenient with your thoughts...
Because this heart belongs to you and only you
I can`t stop my love for you
So our love won't be torn apart, the two of us
Will have to hold onto it as one
And on those nights
When uncertainty visits you
Take our love in your arms
And embrace it tightly
For those years he was with me I was never afraid because he served as my courage. Whenever I have problems he is always there for me.
Of all of these irreplaceable things
That you have given to me here
The most precious thing you have given
Is you yourself
I can't stop my love for you
We spoke toward the future
Like we had a place we could go together
Oh baby I can't stop my love for you
I'll become your everything I believe in your promise
To never let go of my hand as we walk
The music ended and everyone present there clapped a thunderous applause. This continued in all five other songs that I sang. The rehearsal ended at 10 PM enough for me to get enough sleep to prepare for a hectic week.
