Memory of Tears(Final part)
The next day….
As usual, Yurina was waiting for Chinami to show up for their lunch at their usual spot, the bench near the pond. However, there’s also something that Yurina wanted to tell Chinami today. Something that Yurina had hid inside her heart for quite sometimes now and that something was her true feeling towards that bright and energetic Chinami. Yurina never had the courage to tell Chinami her true feeling towards that girl because she was afraid that the feeling that Chinami had for her was not the same and she would end up destroying their comfort level or worst, destroying their friendship, the only thing in this world that Yurina didn’t want to happen.
Yurina couldn’t stop thinking about the kiss and the hug that Chinami gave her yesterday. Yes, they have already hugs each other before, but yesterday, the way that Chinami hugged her was somehow different. Yurina could feel the intimacy between both of them and Yurina also felt safe and secure around the Chinami’s arms. The moment Chinami’s lips touch her forehead, Yurina felt warm, happy and love. “I’m gonna tell Chii-chan my true feeling for her today….. I want to tell her how much I love her and how important she is to me….” Yurina thought as she grinned to herself. “But I wonder why Chii-chan is so late today…. She never late likes this before…” Yurina mumbled to herself.
30 minutes after that….
The bell finally rang as the signal that the recess was already over. Yurina returned to her class with a sour look on her face. Chinami didn’t show up during lunch today. Yurina waited for until the bell rang and there was no sign of Chinami. “Why didn’t she come??? Did something happen to her???” Yurina thought to herself as she was starting to lose her concentration on her class. When the class was over for the day, Yurina quickly packed her bag and headed towards Chinami’s class. Yurina was about to reached Chinami class when she saw Saki and Miyabi walking towards her. Yurina ran towards them with the intention of getting answer from Chinami’s best friends.
"Kumai-chan!!! What are you doing here???" Saki asked Yurina even though she already knew the answer to her own question.
"I’m looking for Chii-chan…. She didn’t show up during recess Shimi-senpai… Do you know where she is???" Yurina replied as she asked Saki the whereabouts of Chinami.
Saki turned her gazed towards Miyabi with a panic expression. As soon as Miyabi looked at the expression on Saki’s face, she knew that she had to do something or Saki will freak out and Yurina would be suspicious. Miyabi smiled towards Saki as she squeezed Saki’s hand lightly as the signal for Saki to relax and calm down.
"Chii-chan didn’t come to school today Kumai-chan…" Miyabi answered Yurina in Saki’s place.
"What’s wrong??? Is she alright??? Is she sick or something???" Yurina started to throw question at Miyabi with mix expression of panic, concern and worry written all over her gentle face.
Miyabi patted Yurina shoulder as she smiled. “Relax Kumai-chan, Chii’s fine, she’s just having something to do with her family today…. You don’t have to
be worry so much ok….” Miyabi answered as she was hoping that Yurina would trust her. Seeing Yurina just stood there in silent, Miyabi nudged Saki for
reinforcement.
"Miya’s right Kumai-chan… You shouldn’t worry about it too much… You’ll see her again tomorrow…." Saki said as she mile at Yurina.
Yurina sighed heavily as she nodded her head reluctantly. “Ok Shimi-senpai, but if you see Chii-chan, please tell her to call me… I’ve been calling her but she shut her phone off…. So, can you please tell her that Shimi-senpai, Natsuyaki-senpai??? Yurina asked as she looked at her senpai and she saw they nodded their lightly.
"We’ll tell her Kumai-chan… Don’t worry…" Miyabi told Yurina as she smiled.
Yurina bow to her senpai as she turned around and started walking home. Miyabi and Saki stared at Yurina’s back with a great guilt in both of their heart.
“Miya, I think we need to tell Yurina about what really happen to Chii…” Saki said to Miyabi.
Miyabi sighed as she shook her head. “We can’t Saki… Chii had told us to keep it a secret especially from Kumai-chan…” Miyabi said with a stern tone in her voice.
"But, Kumai-chan will suffer of we didn’t tell her Miya…." Saki said as her eyes starting to get wet thinking about Yurina and Chinami. “We both know that Chii doesn’t have much time Miya…. If we keep this a secret from Kumai-chan, her heart will be broken and shatter to pieces especially if she found out another way…” Saki continued as she couldn’t contain her sadness anymore and cry on Miyabi’s shoulder.
Miyabi wipe out Saki’s tears with her thumb as she kissed Saki’s forehead. “We have no right to tell anything to anyone Saki… If Chii don’t want us to tell her, that mean we can’t tell her…. I know that we are being cruel right now, but Chii will be the one that hurt the most if Kumai-chan knows about her condition….” Miyabi said as she tried to hold back her own tears.
Meanwhile at Yurina’s house….
Yurina was just finished her bath as she lay on her bed and started to call Chinami again. Yurina was very disappointed because the only thing that she could reach was the voice mail from Chinami’s phone. “Why did she turn off her phone???” Yurina said with a pout on her face. “Well, I guess I just have to ask her when she calls me…..” Yurina said in defeat. Yurina waited all night for Chinami to call her but she was once again disappointed when the person that she waited never called her. “Maybe she’s tired…. Well, I’ll see her tomorrow anyway…. And I can’t wait to tell her about my feelings and I
will ask her to be my girlfriend…..” Yurina thought to herself as she slowly fall asleep.
The next day….
Chinami didn’t show up again today during recess and Yurina was starting to feel that something’s not right. She went to Saki and Miyabi class but to her surprised, both of them were absence as well. She tried to ask their classmates but they just ignored her and told her to go back to her class and some of them even got angry and told her to stay away from Chinami. That makes Yurina even more suspicious and she could sensed that something bad had happened and she was starting to get very worried and scared.
The last day of school….
For the whole week, Chinami, Saki and Miyabi were absence from school and Yurina was getting very devastated by the day. She has tried everything to get some information about the three of them but she ended up fail. Every day after school, Yurina would stay in her room crying and worrying about Chinami. Even though Yurina was devastated, she knew that she shouldn’t give up and she would never give up. During the recess, she went to their usual spot to wait for Chinami even though Chinami didn’t show up. Yurina was walking home from school that day when she suddenly heard someone calling her name.
"Kumai-chan!!!" Yurina turned towards the owner of the voice and saw Saki and Miyabi walking towards her. Yurina eyes widen as she ran towards them and hugged both of them.
"Where have the two of you been senpai??? Are you here with Chii-chan???" Yurina asked after she pulled away from their hugged.
Miyabi and Saki just hung their head low as Miyabi slowly give a letter that she took from her pocket to Yurina. “Chii give you this….” Miyabi said.
"A letter??? Why Natsuyaki-senpai???" Yurina asked in confusion.
"Just read it Kumai-chan and you will understand everything….." Saki said as she tried to hold her tears.
Seeing Saki and Miyabi expression, Yurina was starting to feel that something was definitely not right. Yurina slowly open the white envelope and took
out the letter inside it.
Dear Yuri-chan,
I want to apologize to you for everything that has been happening this week. I know that you must be very worried about me but I want you to stop doing that. Yuri-chan, do you remember what happen to me during the night that we when to the movies??? I was not feeling well and I asked Miya to send you home. The truth is, I’m dying Yuri-chan. I have kept a secret from you all this time. A secret that I will tell you today and all I’m asking is for you to understand and please forget about me. I have a terminal illness and it have reached the critical stage Yuri-chan. I did have an operation a long time ago but it failed. Do you still remember when you asked me why I eat my lunch alone at our spot??? I told you that I don’t want to disturb Miya and Saki but I lied to you about that. The moment I found out that my operation was failed I was devastated. I couldn’t really show my emotion at home since Saki and Miya were always there to take care of me and the only time that I can do it was the time that I spent on the bench near the pool at lunch. I always sat there and felt sorry for myself. I’ve asked Kami-sama what have I ever done to deserve this fate, I always asked myself why Kami-sama hates me so much. But one day, when I was about to do the same thing, I’ve found an angel sitting there, she was so beautiful and she became my friend. Ever since that day, I never felt sad again and every time that I spend with that angel is the most precious time to me. And I ended falling in love with that angel and that angel is you Yuri-chan. I love you Yuri-chan and I miss you so much. I hope that you will forgive me for hurting you and please don’t be mad at Saki and Miya. They have already scolded me for doing this to you. Please forget everything about me. I’m sorry Yuri-chan, I love you…
With Love
ChinamiYurina tears fell through her cheeks as soon as she finished reading the letter that Chinami send her. "Where is she???" Yurina asked Saki and Miyabi in tears.
"Please forgive us Kumai-chan, we can’t tell you that…. Both of us have already promise Chinami that we will never told you where she is…." Miyabi answered with a stern tone. Saki nodded her head in agreement even though her her eyes were already filled with tears. “Please don’t force us to break our promise Kumai-chan… Chii do this because she didn’t want you to suffer after this….” Miyabi pleaded.
"Miya’s right Kumai-chan… Chii will never forgive herself for doing this to you and she’s the one that hurt the most because she have to make the person that she loves the most going through this pain…." Saki said to Yurina. "Please understand…." Saki continued in pleads.
"I don’t want to understand!!!" Yurina shouted. "I begged you Shimi-senpai, Natsuyaku-senpai…. Please take me to her….. I have something very important to tell Chii-chan… I begged both of you… Please take me to her….." Yurina begged Miyabi and Saki as she fell onto her knees and her tears was falling faster through her cheeks.
"Why are you being so stubborn and selfish Kumai-chan???!!! Chii did this for your own good!!! Can’t you understand that!!!" Miyabi started to flare.
"You’re the one that didn’t understand Natsuyaki-senpai!!! How do you expect me to accept this and just forget her???!!! Chii is important to me and I don’t want to spend the rest of my life living in regret because I’m not beside her when she needed me the most!!!" Yurina flared back with more tears in her eyes.
Miyabi was just about to argue more but she was stop when her shoulder was patted by Saki. Miyabi turned her head towards Saki and saw Saki shook her head. “We’ll take you to her Kumai-chan but you have to promise us something…..” Saki said to Yurina.
Yurina nodded her head as she wipes out her tears. “Please don’t cry when you see Chii…. No matter how bad her condition is, please don’t cry or Chii will suffer more than she has now….” Saki said to Yurina. “I promise that I will not cry in front of her….” Yurina said as she walked towards Saki and
Miyabi and hold their hands. “Thank you…” Yurina said with a smile.
At the hospital…..
Chinami was waiting nervously for Miyabi and Saki to return. “What took them so long???” Chinami asked herself. Chinami knew that she was being cruel to Yurina by doing this to her, but she couldn’t think of anything else. Chinami knew that Yurina would never forgive her for everything she’s done and Yurina might even hate her for the rest of Yurina’s life. But Chinami thought that it would be better for Yurina to hate her than letting Yurina spending the rest of her life grieving. Chinami’s thought was broken when the door of her room was opened by someone. “What took you guys so long???” Chinami asked as she turned her heads towards the door but the moment her eyes met the person that was standing in front of the door, Chinami just froze in shock. “Yu… Yu…Yu… Yuri-chan…..” Chinami said stuttering.
"Hey...." Yurina replied as she smiled and walked towards Chinami.
"How do you know I’m here??? Where’s Miya and Saki???" Chinami asked without moving her gaze towards Yurina.
"Shimi-senpai said that both of us need some time alone so she and Natsuyaki-senpai went to the café….." Yurina said as she sat on the chair besides Chinami’s bed.
"They told you where to find me??? How could them… They promised me to keep this a secret…." Chinami said as with irritation.
"No Chii-chan, they didn’t tell me, they take me here…. And please don’t be angry with them… I’m the one who force and beg them to take me to you….." Yurina said as she opened her school bag and took out the letter that she received from Chinami before. “What’s the meaning of this???” Yurina said as she put the letter on Chinami’s lap.
Chinami looked at the letter as she hung her head down in regret and guilt. “I…. Please forgive me Yuri-chan…. I didn’t mean to do thing this way but… “
“But what Chii???" Yurina interrupted Chinami before she could finish her explanation. “You’d rather let me hate you than worrying about you??? You would rather let me live my whole live in regret than spending my whole life taking care of you??? I guess I’m not that important to you right Chii???"
Yurina asked Chinami.
Chinami hung her head even lower as she tried to hold her tears. “No Yuri-chan…. Please don’t say that…. I’m sorry for being selfish Yuri-chan… I didn’t mean to take the decision on my own but i just want you to forget about me….” Chinami said slowly with regret.
"Tell me the last sentence of this letter…." Yurina said to Chinami.
"What???" Chinami asked Yurina in confusion.
"The last sentence on your letter…. Say it to me…." Yurina repeated.
Chinami closed her eyes as her cheek flushed because she knew what Yurina wanted her to say. “I’m sorry Yuri-chan, I love….” Before Chinami could finish her sentence, a soft pair of lips touched her lips. Chinami opened her eyes and saw Yurina was kissing her with her eyes closed. After a few second, Yurina pulled back with her cheeks blushing furiously. “Yurina…..” Chinami said as she mentally kicked herself for losing her ability to talk longer.
“I’ve been waiting for that word to come out of your mouth for quite some time now you know….. I love you too Chii….” Yurina confessed.
Tears were rolling through Chinami’s cheeks as she hugged Yurina tightly. Yurina returned the hug as she patted Chinami’s head. A few minutes after that, both of them pulled away from their hug as Yurina hold Chinami hands tightly and squeezed them. “Promise me that you will never do anything like this to me again Chii….” Yurina pleaded.
"I promise Yuri-chan….." Chinami said as she kissed Yurina’s hand. “You should go home now Yuri-chan… It’s getting late…. Let Miya and Saki send you home ok…” Chinami said smiling sweetly at Yurina.
"Ok…. I’ll come again tomorrow…. I promise you…. I‘ll come here every single day until you’re good to go…." Yurina said as she leaned down and kiss her Chinami again. Chinami returned Yurina’s kiss and after a few minutes, they pulled away and Chinami watched Yurina walked towards the door and head out.
After Yurina closed Chinami’s door, she started to walk towards the exit with a smile on her face until she suddenly froze on spot and fall to her knee crying. Yurina finally let everything that she felt inside her chest out when she got out from Chinami’s room. Seeing Chinami so pale and weak had crushed Yurina’s heart but she remembered her promise to Saki and Miyabi that she would never cry in front of Chinami. Yurina was crying uncontrollably until she felt a tap on her shoulder. Yurina turned towards the person that tap her and realized that person was Saki.
"Be strong Kumai-chan…." Saki said as she tried to hold her own tears.
"She will be fine right??? She’s gonna heal soon right???" Yurina pulled away as she asked Saki.
Saki just stood there in silent because she doesn’t know what to answer. Seeing Saki’s state, Miyabi put her hand on Yurina’s shoulder and answered Yurina’s question on Saki’s behalf. “The doctor said that she didn’t have long Kumai-chan…”
Yurina shook her head violently as her tears were running faster from her cheeks. “No, no, no!!! She will be fine!!! Yurina shouted in tears.
Please be strong Kumai-chan…. Please be strong for Chii… She needed us the most right now, she needed you the most right now… Miyabi said as she tried to keep a strong front.
"How long Natsuyaki-senpai???" Yurina asked Miyabi as she tried to stop her tears from flowing down.
Miyabi turned her head to the side as tears finally fall down from her eyes. “The doctor said that Chii only have three weeks…. Myabi answered reluctantly.
Three weeks later…..
Time has move faster for Yurina, Saki, Miyabi and Chinami. After Yurina found out about the time that Chinami had, she went straight to her principal and asked the principal to give her the permission to leave the school for a while because she wanted to look after Chinami. The first week was the hardest for Yurina, every tiem she was at the hospital, she tried her best to smile and pretend to be happy and strong so that Chinami would never felt guilty or sad but when she returned to her house, Yurina spend the rest of her night crying about Chinami and praying to Kami-sama so that her Chii will be fine so that she leave the hospital. Saki and Miyabi always gave Yurina support and the three of them would also take turn to watch over Chinami at the hospital during the night.
Day after day, Chinami’s condition was getting more and more worse. Chhinami’s face was pale and her body was weak but her bright smile never
change. That night, everybody gathered at Chinami’s room including the doctor.
"Doctor Kamei, there’s a meteor shower tonight right???" Asked the weak Chinami.
"Yes Tokunaga-chan, it will be starting soon…." The doctor answered Chinami.
"I want to go and watch it with Yuri-chan, Miya and Saki…." Chinami said as she tried to get off her bed.
"No Chii-chan!!!" Exclaimed Yurina with concern. “You should rest….” Yurina continued.
"Kumai-chan is right Tokunaga-chan, you should rest right now, not walking around…" The doctor said with a stern and sad voice.
"Please Doctor Kamei… I want to watch it with Yuri-chan… Please…" Chinami begged her doctor.
The doctor sighed heavily as she nodded her head. “You can go…. But make sure that you bring your blanket along…. I don’t want you to catch a cold.
Chinami’s smile widen as she took hold of Yurina’s hand and got off from her bed. Yurina, Saki and Miyabi walked closer to Chinami as the three of them
hold Chinami’s hand and tried to prevent her from falling.
"Doctor Kamei, do you think that Tokunaga-chan should be walking right now???" Doctor Kamei nurse, Gaki-san asked her when all four of them were out of the room..
"No…. But, if she wanted to spend time alone with the ones she loved, she should do it now because you know very well just as I do Gaki-san;
Tokunaga-chan doesn’t have long…." Doctor Kamei said as she wipe out her tears.
On the hospital roof…..
Chinami and Yurina was sitting on a bench with one of Yurina’s hand around Chinami’s shoulder and the other hand was holding Chinami’s hand tightly.
Chinami leaned her head on Yurina’s chest as both of them enjoyed the scene of the meteor shower together. Saki and Miyabi were watching them from
the door while both of them were holding each other tightly as a support as their eyes were flooded with tears.
"It’s so beautiful Yuri-chan…." Chinami said as she leaned closer to Yurina.
"Yes it is…." Yurina responded.
"Do you want to know what makes it even more beautiful???" Chinami asked as she moved her head from Yurina’s chest and stared into Yurina’s eyes.
"What Chii??? Tell me…." Yurina said smiling sweetly at her Chinami.
"Watching this beautiful scene with my most precious person in the world…. Being in her arm and feeling the love that we both shared…" Chinami said as
she hung her head low trying to hide her red cheeks.
Yurina smiled even more as she moved her hands and place it under Chinami’s chin as she lifted Chinami’s head up again. “I agree with you Chii….”
Yurina said as she leaned her head closer towards Chinami until their lips met. Yurina pulled Chinami closer to deepen the kiss until both of them had to pull apart for air.
"I love you Yuri-chan…." Chinami said as she planted her kiss on Yurina’s hand.
"I love you too Chii…." Yurina replied as she kiss Chinami’s forehead.
"Can I use your lap as my pillow for a little while Yuri-chan???" Chinami asked Yurina.
"Of course you can Chii…." Yurina replied as she let Chinami laid down and placed her head onto Yurina’s lap.
"Wake me up when this is over ok Yuri-chan…." Chinami said as she closed her eyes.
"Ok Chii-chan…." Yurina replied as she caressed Chinami’s cheek.
15 minutes after that……
"Chii, the meteor shower has ended… Wake up…" Yurina said as she shakes Chinami softly but unfortunately there was no respond from Chinami. Yurina tried again but failed. Yurina turned her head towards Saki and Miyabi and saw that both of them were already heading towards her.
"Sleep well my love….. Sweet dream…." Yurina said as she leaned down to kiss Chinami’s forehead with tears running through her cheeks.
End of Flashback
Yurina eyes were flooded with tears as she continued to hug the picture of Chinami. It’s been 1 years since Chinami left her and today was the day that Chinami left her a year ago. A soft wind came through Yurina’s window had stop Yurina from crying. She turned her head to her left side and saw Chinami in a white dress sitting besides her smiling brightly. Yurina wipe out her tears as she stayed on her bed all night with the image of Chinami hugging her.
