Who is My True Love Part I
“My head hurts! We’ve been here for 2 and a half hour. It’s already 6 pm.” Jurina whined as she held her head with her hands.
“Take a break. It's bad to over use your brain and lower your voice. We're at the library, remember?” I advised to my friend.
“I would love to do that but I want to finish this freaking hard report right now. I have a date tomorrow so the only time to finish this is today!”
I rolled my eyes from my friend's stupid reason to finish her report immediately. “Aren't you going out with other girls lately too much?” As soon as I said that Jurina suddenly looked like she saw something scary at my back. I was about to turn my head around but Jurina's strong denial made me halt from my action.
“Wh-what!? NO! I was going out with one person the whole time! I swear!”
I looked at her suspiciously. I truly didn't believe what she said but if I said that she might shout more if I said otherwise. Jurina is a very friendly and flirtatious girl. “Okay... I got it. You don't have to shout you know.”
“Oi Kashiwagi.” A familiar annoying voice from my back said.
“What Watanabe?” I said without turning my head at her. There's only one person who calls my name with such tone.
Watanabe stood near between me and Jurina. “Can you put a leash on that puppy friend of yours? This is the library. Don't make unnecessary noise that will disturb other people.”
“I know that already it's just that somebody here is being too defensive when she doesn't really need to.” I said back without much care to Watanabe.
“What!? I'm telling the truth! I only went out with one person in the past few weeks!” Jurina strongly defensed.
“Matsui-san kindly lower your voice. Can't you understand that we are in the library and we must obey its golden rule?” A sharp voice scolded Jurina. It's
Watanabe's friend and another Matsui, Matsui Rena.
“Ah! Um! I was-! OW! OI YUKI!” With Jurina being irritating I threw my notebook at her face because she totally needs it. I don't want to mess around with this other Matsui since she is just being rightful while Watanabe is just annoying me.
“Jurina apologize then shut up.” I used my 'Black' voice. Jurina only follows me if I used that scary tone, she knows it's awful when I get mad.
“Ok.” Jurina stood from her seat and bowed to the other Matsui while ignoring Watanabe. “I'm sorry. I will be quiet now.” Jurina then sat back and it agitated Watanabe.
“What the!? You only apologized to Rena when you also disturbed me!” Before Watanabe started to heat up Matsui managed to cool her down right away.
“Mayu you need to go to your family dinner, right? You rarely get the chance to be with them. You should start going now and don't waste your time on them.” That ticked me off a little but I'll let that pass since Matsui usually stops Watanabe from teasing or annoying me when she feels to.
“Tch. You're lucky that I have to go somewhere. I'll get back at you two idiots.” Watanabe gave me a glare before walking out with Rena.
“?” Before completely disappearing from my sight Watanabe looked back at me.
“By the way Kashiwagi, I heard that you slipped at the cafeteria yesterday and rose up pretending to fly like Superman and ran away with the same pose. Nice going baka~” I blushed in embarrassment even though it's not true. Watanabe said it loud enough for other students to hear and they all give me weird faces. Watanabe let out a winning smirk before getting out in the library.
“Yuki... Why Superman?” Jurina uttered my name in disappointment. “It should have been Spiderman! Sssshk! Ssshk! Sssshk!” Jurina imitated Spiderman like there were also spider strings coming out from her hand aiming it everywhere. “Sssshk! Ssssshk! Spiderman is awesome!”
“Mou! Watanabe was lying! I didn't slip at all so stop that already! And you were with me the whole day! You should know it didn't happen!”
*Bam!*
“?!!” Both Jurina and I were alerted with the lady who slammed the table we were using.
“You two, get out now!” The scary librarian ordered us with her deadly aura.
“H-hai!” Jurina and I immediately packed our things and head out.
“How nice. We were kicked out from the library. That small sneaky mouse!” My blood is really boiling right now! Arrrgh! Watanabe!! You'll pay for this!
“But really Yuki, why do you and Watanabe hate each other so much?” Jurina suddenly threw the question.
“Why are you curious about it just now?”
“Nothing. I thought it's about time to know your story. I know your secret ability anyway. Spill it.”
As you have heard Jurina knew about this ability of mine accidentally and surprisingly blackmailed me to be her friend. I honestly do not know why she wants to be my friend when she has too many friends and yet she prefers to hang out with me more than the others.
“I don't get your pace sometimes. Anyway, she was one of my ‘clients’ during my first year high school.”
“I see.”
*6 years ago*
It was another productive day for me. I helped some girls once again and it feels nice that you have done well to other people.
“If nobody comes anymore in 10 minutes, then I'm going home.” Just when I told that to myself I heard a knock from the door and it opened. “She's the last for today.” I whispered to myself.
“Excuse me.” A cute twin-tailed girl appeared before my eyes.
“Yes? How may I help you?” I flashed my accommodating smile to the cute girl.
“Uh.. Is Kashiwagi-san around?” The cute girl asked.
“That would be me.”
“Ah! I'm Watanabe Mayu.” The cute girl immediately came closer to me and introduced herself. Wow, she's insanely pretty up close. I know another Watanabe who is good looking too, a very handsome young doctor. Are all Watanabe people like this?
“I'm Kashiwagi Yuki.” I offered my hand but Watanabe-san seems to be reluctant about it. Of course this is Japan, shaking hands is not accustomed here.
I actually always offer my hand to my clients before we start so that I can give them a more accurate advice but just like Watanabe-san there are those who are reluctant in shaking hands. I don't force them but it will make my job easier if I see their future beforehand.
“Um...” Watanabe-san gave me an awkward smile. I don't want her to feel uncomfortable anymore so I lower my hand.
“Please sit Watanabe-san.”
“Hai.”
“I'll brew tea for us.” I stood up from my seat but the cute- I mean, Watanabe-san stopped me.
“No it's alright! This won't take long.... Probably.”
“Okay then, how can I help you?”
“Can you give me an advice?” Oh God, she is super cute! Her pleading eyes were big and mesmerizing. Her voice was extremely cute and I can tell it's natural. It's giving you a feeling of wanting to help with all your powers, the ‘You don't want to disappoint her’ feeling. She's not even trying hard to be cute. Can a person like this truly exist!?
I'm pretty unstable mentally but I need to maintain my composure in front of her. “Sure. Can I hear your story?” I tried to get myself back from admiring her looks but really, she is the cutest girl I have ever seen.
“There is this person that I love ever since I was young. The thing is we can't be together, we are forbidden to be together... And also, he only thinks of me nothing more but a little sister.”
“Hm...” An unrequited love. I encountered a lot of people with this problem and 90% of these people are just wasting their time and effort on the wrong person. I need to touch her to see if her efforts are also wasted. But how? Ah! Her hand is just lying on the table. I'll just grab it and make it look like a way of mine to support her. That's it!
“I don't want to give up on him. I love him so much!” Watanabe-san strongly affirmed her feelings. That guy is stupid for ignoring such a cute and pretty girl. But maybe there is also a problem with Watanabe-san.
“Watana!...be..san....” I managed to grab her hand and I got a vision. Watanabe-san was standing somewhere a bit far from my view of perspective but then she looked at my direction and smiled before coming closer.
“This is weird..” I whispered.
“What is weird?” Oh great, she heard it.
“Nothing...” I stared at our hands. In my vision there was no guy or even a girl who went to Watanabe-san. She remained standing in front of me with that beautiful smile of hers. This is very new. Could this be the kind of vision that means..
“Watanabe-san will be alone forever....”
“!?” My hands were slapped away by the owner of the hand that I'm holding.
“Alone? Stop screwing with me! I came to for help not to get myself mad!” The cute girl suddenly transformed into a scary one. “What the hell are they saying? ‘Kashiwagi-san is great adviser. You should try to ask her with your problems too Mayu-san.’ What a bunch of liars.” I could only look in disbelief as I watch this cute girl show her real attitude.
“You are a fraud.”
“!!! F-fraud?”
“Yeah. You said those nice words to the girls to make yourself popular and make them believe that you're right. And here I come whom I presume you're jealous with. Well who wouldn't be? I'm cute, pretty, and good at sports, rich, and most of all the top 1 of last term's exams! Now you told me I would be alone forever so that I will become depress and work inefficiently as a student. I'm sorry to tell you this but your cheap style won't work on me!"
“Wh-what?” The hell this girl talks too much and did she just seriously praised herself. But there's no way I would let her pass with that speculation she made about me. “I'm not a fraud! I'm just giving advices honestly! And if you don't believe me then don't! Your endless effort to be loved romantically will go to waste!”
“Now you keep on getting on my nerves. I'm getting out of here. Talking to a fraud is bad and you even held my hand. Gosh I feel so dirty.” Watanabe gave me a glare before she went out and slammed the door closed. Seriously, nobody has ever pissed me off that bad.
*End of Flashback*I told Jurina what really happened emitting out the thoughts I had before that Watanabe is really cute. “Ever since then I always get pranked by her and later on our verbal fights, which contained anything that we can't agree on, began to become almost a daily basis. At our last year in high school we had our first cat fight and got suspended.”
“Eeeh!?”
“After that our verbal fights started to mellow out and became just like the conversation you just saw.” I quickly summarized everything that had happened between me and Watanabe to Jurina.
“But at least your relationship with her got a little.. better?” Jurina hesitantly said.
“If only she doesn't have that awful attitude then she could be my friend.”
“Woah there! I never expected that you actually think you two can be friends!”
“’If only’ okay? I'm just getting tired with this kind of meeting with her. It's exhausting to be always angry. I want ignore her but she just can't ignore me and says something that provokes me making it hard for me to ignore her.”
“You know what Yuki, sometimes you guys look like an old married couple-OW! Hey!” I smacked Jurina's head for being such an idiot. Seriously! Me and that Watanabe as a couple? No way! Even if she's the last girl existing on Earth I will never allow us to be together that way.
“Don't be ridiculous. Besides, I have someone else I love.”
Jurina gave me a hopeless look. “The doctor who is 10 years older than you? The one with same surname as your eternal enemy? Yuki don't get your hopes up on him. I'm sure such a great guy like him has a girlfriend already.”
“No he doesn't!... Or at least I haven't seen him with anyone yet..” Jurina might be right. What if he hooked up with one of his patients! Or one of the nurses or worst another doctor that I can't compete with!
“You're giving off such a desperate look. Worried that he's actually taken?” Jurina smiled slyly.
“Why are you smiling? As a friend you're supposed to encourage me. Not to trample my feelings on him.”
“You're definitely out of his league. And as a friend it's my responsibility to wake you up from your dreams.”
“It's not a dream!”
“Oh yeah? Then why don't try to look at his future partner? You never checked his future, right?”
“.........”
“Are you afraid?”
“N-no, I'm not. I just want to live my life fair by not knowing who I'll end with.” I tried to fight back but my voice was shaky.
“Eeeh. How sure are you that that doctor is meant for you?”
“.....”
“I dare you Yuki. Look at his future and you'll see. You will realize that you are also wasting your feelings on someone just like the girls you have helped before.”
“I'm not wasting my feelings! Fine! I will look at his future today!” I rushed away from Jurina completely irritated of what she made me feel. I'm sure that Watanabe-sensei will be mine. He is one of the reasons why I choose the path to become a doctor.
I ran and ran and ran until I arrived at the hospital he is working at. I took out my phone to call him. My hands were cold and shaking as I look for his number and pressed the call button.
“Hello? Yuki-chan?” That manly voice soothed my heart as I felt the uneasiness inside me goes away.
“Sensei, can I see you?”
“Right now?” He sounded a little troubled. Oh great Yuki, you called at a wrong time.
“Ah, it's fine if not now I understand that you are busy but ano.. I just really-“
He chuckled on the other side and said,
“Why do you sound so nervous? Anyway, my family and I will have a dinner tonight so maybe you can see me after that.”“Eh? Um is it really okay? Don't you want to be with your family more?”
“It's not like that. They have something else to do and besides, there is someone whom I want you to meet.”
“Someone?” My heart began to feel uneasy again.
“Yes, a very important person to me. I'll tell you the details later Yuki-chan. See you soon.”*Beep beep beep*“He sounds very happy.... Someone.. Very important to him..”
“Yuki don't get your hopes up on him. I'm sure such a great guy like him has a girlfriend already.” Jurina's words echoed back at my head.
I shook my head in disbelief. “No, he must be talking about his sister. Yeah! His sister is very important to him and he told me before he would introduce her to me. He can't possibly have a girlfriend yet since he is coward when it comes to that. Hahaha.”
“Mail~ mail~” My phone vibrated at the same time and caught my attention. I stared at the name of the messenger.
“Sensei..” He sent me the mail about the detail of where we will meet. Even though it's still an hour for us to meet I started to make my way there. It took me 40 minutes to get there as I took all the time to walk there slowly.
“He will introduce his sister. He will introduce his sister. His sister. His sister. His sister. His sis-Ah!” I suddenly felt another body collided with me and made me lose my balance causing me to fall down but thankfully someone grabbed my arm and pulled me up right away. Unfortunately, the person who grabbed me pulled me too much and now our bodies are close especially our face making me see clear the face of that person.
“!!!?? Watanabe!?” My savior was the same person who bullied me hours ago wearing the same uniform.
“Tch. You of all people. Today is such a bad day.” The supposedly my savior said while averting her head away from me and surprisingly pushed me gently.
“........” I want retort back but looking at her expression I can't help but get curious why is her eyes so mad and sad at the same time.
“........”
“.............”
“I'll go ahead."”
“!?” Watanabe hurriedly went pass through me but she somehow stopped.
“What?” Watanabe said with annoyance.
“Eh?” Confused with what she said she gave me a glare and turn her eyes downward. There I saw my own hand grabbing her arm. Wait. When did I grab her!?
“I'm sorry.” I quickly let go of her arm as she continued to glare at me while I gave myself a mental smack for grabbing Watanabe unconsciously.
“If you have something to say, say it now.” Watanabe said harshly.
“T-thank you and sorry again.” Weird. I normally would fight back at her and would never express any gratitude to her or apologize but somehow I can't do it now. Only those words came out.
“... Wha... Both of us were not looking where we're going so you don't need to say it.” Watanabe said with a hint of awkwardness. I can't believe she just indirectly said we're both at fault. She would normally blame me for not looking even if it's clearly her fault.
“Oh...”
“Kashiwagi.”
“Yeah?”
“... Here.” Watanabe gave me a pink checkered handkerchief. I often see her bringing this and if I'm not mistaken this is her favorite one. Or not! Even though Watanabe is being weird I don't think she would give any of her favorite things to me.
“Eh?”
“I knew this would happen and prepared myself beforehand so now the pain is not as big as it would be if I didn't prepare myself. You, on the other hand, would be..”
“What?”
“In other words, you need this more than I do.” Watanabe took my hand and place her handkerchief in before walking away. What's up with her and what is she talking about?
“What is she doing here anyway? Didn't she have a family dinner tonight?” I wondered to myself as I sat at the nearby bench and waited for Sensei to mail me back.
I watched the people enter and leave the said restaurant while waiting. I tried to distract myself and forget Watanabe's eyes moments ago. Those eyes looked like she has heartbreak. If she had only listened to me years ago then she wouldn't feel such pain right now. But I can't blame her. Everyone wants to experience love after all.
"Mail~ mail~"
“It must be Sensei.” And I was right. He told me that I can come in whenever I want.
I went inside the restaurant and told the waiter I'm looking for Watanabe-sensei and guided me to him. As I was getting closer to the table a sight of a cute beautiful woman, who was sitting beside Sensei, came to my view.
“Ah! Yuki-chan!” And there is Watanabe-sensei. Handsome as always but today his smile is shinier than usual. I can see his happiness from his eyes clearly.
“Sensei, good evening.” I diverted my attention towards the new woman and greeted her as she greeted me back.
“Good evening too. Sit down Yuki-chan.”
“Hai.” I took my seat feeling nervous and my heart beating fast achingly.
“Yuki-chan let me introduce to you Ota Aika, my fiancée.”
Fiancée...
“Aika, this is Kashiwagi Yuki. Maa.. I'm her mentor in medicine.”
“Ah, you are Yuma's student. It's nice to meet you.”
Watanabe-sensei's fiancée... She is pretty.. And looks kind..
“Yuki-chan?” I snapped from my thoughts and saw the worried faces of the couple.
“Ah! Best wishes to your marriage!”
Both of them smiled and intertwined their hands. They look so happy but my heart is screaming in pain.
“Thank you. I'm happy that you approve of us Yuki-chan.”
What? No, I'm not.
*Hashiritai Go! Go! Go!* Ota-san's phone was ringing and excused herself to go out and answered the call which only leaves me and Sensei alone.
“All of the people we know were happy but..” Sensei started.
“But?” Someone other than me doesn't want them to be together? Who is this person? I need to meet him or her!
“My little sister. She said she's happy for me but I know deep inside she is hurt. I know that she loves me more than a brother.” A brocon!?
“Yuki-chan, can you be Mayu's friend and help her move on?”
“Mayu…?”
=======================================================================================================
*Ring Ring Ring Ring!*The noisy alarm clock woke me up from reality. I opened my swelling eyes and turned off the alarm. “Ughh.... Morning already?..”
“I don't want to go to school..” I covered my face with my pillow to shield myself from the blinding sun.
Yesterday, before I separated from Sensei I was able to shake hands with them and saw that they are meant for each other. Yabai.. I feel like crying. “Don't cry Yuki. Didn't you cry enough yesterday?”
I abruptly sat up and slapped my cheeks. “Ugh! Don't cry! Or else Watanabe will find another reason to tease me.”
Speaking of that Watanabe, I was surprised to find out that she and Watanabe-sensei are really related. I can understand the face and the smartness but the attitude is totally different. How come I never asked if they knew each other? Stupid me.
It seems that Watanabe knew that Sensei and I are acquainted for years already. And another thing that shocked me is that Watanabe is a brocon! Now I wouldn't wonder why she hates me so much. She must have known that I love her brother that's why she annoys me too much. I wonder who among the two of us loves Sensei more. I have no idea of how young Watanabe was when she fell in love with Sensei.
“There is this person that I love ever since I was young. The thing is we can't be together, we are forbidden to be together... And also, he only thinks of me nothing more but a little sister.”That doesn't matter anymore. Even if the two if us would fight of who loves Sensei more it wouldn't change his mind to marry Ota-san. The length of how long we loved him won’t matter too.
“I still need to wash Watanabe's handkerchief.” I never intended to use it but as I walked away from Sensei my tears started to fall down and I don't always bring any handkerchief with me so I had no choice but to use it. If I think clearly Watanabe was actually kind yesterday then maybe I can help her... but knowing Watanabe..
“Yuki-chan, can you be Mayu's friend and help her move on?”Why did I agree on that? There is no way that I can help her when I can't help myself too. Maybe I should tell Sensei that I can't do it after all but I don't want to disappoint him either.
Aaahh! What should I do!?
TBCI haven't updated my ongoing fics for more than a month already and I don't know when I can update either. School made me very busy and I only managed to finish this chapter in the whole month of July.. Sooo I'll be on a semi-hiatus for awhile. I'll try to find time to update others too when I can. Hope you guys understand.
