Chapter 57
Faithful
Sora was on the way to the Odaiba's park. It was almost evening ; horizon was clearly light orange, giving a cheerful atmosphere around. She was happy ; she, along with Yamato and Taichi will go out together.
"Your name is … Sora, right?" Sora stopped her feet from walking away when she heard a statement with her name in it.
"Yes, it's right…" she replied and spun backward. There, she found an old man with a gnarled staff to support his walk.
"Well… Takenouchi Sora, isn't it?" the old man repeated his word, and Sora nodded slowly.
"What do you need from me?" Sora asked politely.
"Uhm… I know this is weird, but I think your friend named Yamato said to me that he doesn't like you to be together with his another friend… T-
"Taichi?" Sora quickly expected the other name, and the old man nodded.
She smiled, widely.
"Well, I don't get it why everyone around envied us. We're just a close friends for each other, and our relationship isn't something special. Everyone can have bestfriend," Sora began her words, and then spun back.
"Do you expect me to lie at you?" the old man asked.
"I don't expect you to lie at me. I know that you're lying at me," she smiled softly. The topic was seemingly a simple topic for her.
The old man heaved a sigh.
"You're really a good girl," he sighed again. Those words were the most effective to make someone's doubt coming out.
But…
"Thanks! Yamato and Taichi also said that I'm a kind, though I doubt that I'm that kind of nice girl,…" Sora blabbered out, but then she smiled again.
The old man couldn't believe his eye. He blurted out.
"I called you a good girl because you are really a moron to believe at your friends so much like that!"
Sora raised an eyebrow, but then laughed lightly.
"I'm sorry, but I believe everything that you have said before will never be happened," she quipped with a smile.
"That is because you're so fool!"
"What is fool? Does it logical to believe to something that I know well that won't be happened?" she replied back sharply.
"You're wasting your time, sir. I hope we'll meet again… to teach you some lesson that playing with our bonds isn't a good one, nor did you will success in doing that," with one last smile, Sora walked away without even a doubt in herself.
"That old man isn't making a sense," Sora said to herself, and then laughed. No matter what everyone that saying a lie about either Taichi's or Yamato's view to her, she believed that they would cherish her kindly, so did her toward them.
