Chapter 7 Part C [Ishida Haruka’s POV]
[Flashback]
-2 years ago-
I hate interacting with people
They’re a bunch of crap.
Every day I would dodge conversations in school, even in our house.
I’m smart enough to skip class and go to the courtyard all I want.
I don’t know why I became like this..
Must be inborn
But..
I never thought that a girl will make me change my belief in human beings
“such boring day~” I sigh while looking in the clear blue sky
“Ishida Haruka, you’ve been skipping class one week in a row!” A girl paved her way towards me and scolded me
“ahh Nakaya”
“don’t -ahh Nakaya- me! Go to class now!”
She’s such a pain in the ass.
“I don’t want to” I answered her
“why!?” she’s frustrated now
“Because I’m smart enough” I told her flat straight
“even so! It’s a duty of a student to attend class!”
Such great sense of justice as always
I just ignored her and went to the cafeteria instead.
But she’s so persistent in making me go to class that she eventually followed me
“why do keep on following me?”
“it’s because I have my duty”
“is that all?” I tried to tease her and went near to hear
“y-yea” she blushed a little and move backwards
“really?” I smirked
“really!!!” she shouted
Then, when she move backwards again..
Her foot was hooked in a chair and fell
She eventually dragged me too, causing me to fall on top of her.
Her face is too close right now
“Ishida-san..” She blushed
“Nakaya” I blushed too
Without knowing it...
We both closed our eyes and lips got together
She pulls me closer and hugged me
“Ishida-san.. I Love You” she whispered
“ehh?” I was confused on her sudden declaration
“I said I love you. I’ve always been”
“but why me?”
“I don’t know how it started”
“I’m a truant; you’re a disciplinary committee member”
“I don’t care..”
“Ayasuke will be mad if his cousin were to go out with a truant”
“I don’t care..”
“There’s still many fish in the sea” I said in a sad tone
“but I need you” she said with a smile
“heh.. I love you too” I blushed
“so.. will you go out with me?”
“of course”
Our happy days went ahead without a hitch
Every day, I would go to class just to take a glimpse of her
We would eat lunch in the rooftop together
Go home together while our hands intertwined
We would go on a date every weekend
I often talk with Sakiko about her
Until one such time..
On dinner with my family, I tried to talk about her to my parents.
My step-father’s eyes widened when he heard the name of my lover
Nakaya Sayaka
Who would have thought that she’s the daughter of the longtime rival of my step-father?
Because of that..
He made me broke up with Nakayan..
Of course I refused and immediately gave the person I love a call and talked about this
It seems her father wants the same as well..
We love each other and we’re willing to continue our relationship against all odds
“Nakaya”
“yes?”
“let’s escape together..” I said over the phone seriously
“where should we head?” I knew she was confused
“Everywhere possible.. As long as I’m with you..”
“then let’s meet up in front of Bavaria Café Shibuya tonight”
“unn..”
After we talk over the phone..
I went to my room and packed my things
I prepared some money too
Then suddenly..
Sakiko saw me packing my things
She suddenly cry because she knew what will happen next..
I told her that I would call her every day
She nodded her head and helped me pack my things
When I was all set..
I sneaked up outside and called a cab
“I’m finally here..” I murmured
“Ishitan~” I heard her call me up and I can see that she’s on the other side
“Nakayan~” I waved my hand
She ran towards the other side of the road so that she can be with me..
But an expected event occurred
Before my eyes
An over speeding car bumped her
It was a hit and run indeed
A lot of people saw what happened but they didn’t help us
Instead they took pictures..
Despite of that..
A good Samaritan offered me help and we eventually rushed Nakayan to the hospital..
But it was late already…
Dead on arrival
“Nakayan!!!!!!” I hugged her lifeless body
I knew at that time that no matter how loud I shout..
She’s not going to open her eyes anymore..
She won’t come back to me..
I don’t know how to explain this to her parents
But I need to be a man and explain this!
With that said..
I called up her parents and they eventually came minutes later
“Sayaka!” her father wept so much
“…” I just cried
“If we didn’t oppose your love, I’m sure you’d still be alive!”
My tears fell even more on what her father has said
I’m just imagining things right?
There’s no way her father will regret things and instead blame it on me
Nakayan’s mom suddenly approached me
“thank you for loving my daughter so much” her mother held my hand while crying
“Nakayan…” I fell on my feet
At that time..
I don’t what to do..
I was suicidal indeed
Even after her funeral.. I was still the same
I couldn’t eat nor sleep because of my loss
I thought to myself that maybe I should follow her to the afterlife
2 days after her funeral..
I went on the intersection where she died and waited for a chance to be bumped by a car too
But..
A hand suddenly took a hold of me..
It was my mom..
I was suddenly lost with words and hugged her
“please don’t do it..” my mom pleaded
“but I can’t take it anymore..” I said while crying
“….” My mom didn’t respond
“I need Sayaka in my life..”
“what about us!?”
“I just need Sayaka!!”
My mom hugged me tightly
She knew that her son was about to get insane
It’s true anyway..
I’m about to get insane because Sayaka is not with me anymore..
There’s no way I can retain my sanity
I said to myself that I will never ask a girl out again..
Quite depression state I got..
But..
In the midst of that depression..
I became even more depress when my sister found my mother hanged on her room
She committed suicide in other words
Dang.
My life is tragedy indeed.
But with my mother gone..
I need to be strong for the sake of Sakiko even though I didn’t recover yet from Nakayan’s death
1 week after my mother’s funeral
I went to school immediately but I didn’t attend class
I was in the courtyard looking through the same blue sky
Then somebody approached me..
No, it’s not Nakayan
It’s Takahashi Kai.. the General Manager
“what do you want?” I shoved him away
“join Special A” he smiled
“isn’t that for the elites only?”
“but you’re an elite..”
“no, I’m not” I walked away
“just give it a chance.. I’m sure you will forget about things if did” he smirked
“what do you know about my life?” I was getting pissed off
“I knew what happened to you.. and I’m willing to help you out”
Maybe he’s right..
Maybe if I give it a chance..
I might forget about things
And this time around..
I won’t give a care to world now
“I’ll give it a try” I answered him
“good~ let’s go the Special A building now”
After that..
We went to the building and he introduced me to the other members
They gave me a warm welcome and accepted me
The Special A as I thought was full of elites
from Matsui Jun to Ichikawa Miori
They were from an elite family
We’ll I’m from an elite family too but with a different degree from them
“hello~” Miori or Lemon they call approached me
“uhm doumo” I bowed down
“I’m Miyazawa Sae~” an ikemen introduced himself
“Takayanagi Akane desu” She’s a goddess
“Watanabe Miyuki desu~”
“Watanabe Mayu. I’m the older twin brother of Miyuki”
“I’m Kitahara Rie”
“Matsui Jun” the son of the owner of the school smiled
“I’m Ishida Haruka”
“it’s great to have a new member” Watanabe Mayu said
“un~” Kitahara Rie nodded in response
“good for you” Kai-senpai looked at me and raised his thumb
Somehow..
My depression was getting washed away little by little
But still.. I’m not ready to love yet.
