CHAPTER 14 (Part 3): If All Else Fail, I’m hereMayu POVIt was yet the most heart-breaking night for me. Reality filled-in. It’s as if I have awoken from a bitter-sweet dream I’d want to experience every night. Sweet enough and yet bitter-ending is much inevitable.
~flashback~I saw her.
She was alone that time.
It’s as if her mind was wandering across her dreamland.
Her name is Yuki.
The girl who holds my heart…
My heart that was frozen-cold until I met her…
I came closer.
“Yukirin~” I called her.
She looked at me and smiled.
I sat beside her.
Deafening silence filled in…
“Yukirin~ I whispered.
“Mom, her name is Yuki, I love her, I’m happy with her~”“Mayu~ I…”
“I saw you with Koji” I interrupted her.
I wanted to be honest…
“You look good together…” I smiled at her.
I failed.
“What are you saying?”
“Nothing, I’m just stating facts…” I chuckled.
“I’ll sleep in Rena’s…”
“It’s fine… sleep well, good night Yuki”
~end of flashback~“Is this the end?”The morning rushed in, sun rose from its slumber.
Yuko, Sayaka, Sae, Jurina and even Rena decided to play beach volleyball. It was a perfect distraction for me even for a bit. “These girls are sure sporty” While Yui and Paruru continued on their sand castle, trying a little harder. Takamina and Acchan just decided to relax, lying on the sand with Tomochin and Chiyu by their side.
Haruna joined me sitting, watching the five have their match.
“Woi! Sayaka! Cheater!” Rena shouted.
“I’m not!!! It’s not my fault If I’m better than you~ hahaha” and yet them again, the making of The Clash of the Titans Part XXX. Poor Jurina and Sae, they had to butt-in between the two when Yuko just enjoyed the sight of the two wrestling, laughing hard.
*BOOM *BANG *PLAKAK *CRACKSigh.
“These guys really?!” Haruna uttered watching the commotion.
“Yeah, get used to it” I giggled.
“Nee Mayu-chan, I think I haven’t said my thanks to you the last time~” she turned on me.
“So, Thank you” she added.
“If ever you have problems, count me in” she said as she looked down.
“Thank you, Haruna” I smiled at her. She then decided to take a free walk along the beach and left me.
When suddenly Milky came after….
“What’s up with you sulking alone here?” she asked me. The real Milky was finally back. The caring one, the one Sasshi fell in love with, I’m happy for her. She settled beside me.
“Nee Mayu-chan~ I have something to give to you” She held my hand and passed me a cold metallic object on my hand pressing her palm onto mine, squeezing them for a bit and finally she let go.
It was a key.
“I’m handing it to you, In the first place…you’re the real sole owner of this place” she smiled at me. I stared at it. It is the actual key to my happiness since the beginning, concealing all my happy memories with her, with Jurina, even Yuko, my father….
My mother….
“Thank you, Milky~”
“No need to thank me, It’s just a little favor~ hmf!” she looked away, trying to hide her blushing face.
“Jaa~ I’ll help Sasshi prepare for a bit” She said as she moved ahead.
“WOI! MAYUBOY! Enjoy a little maybe?” as the perverted squirrel moved closer to me and ducked herself in front of me.
And made our much popular sign “OSHIRI nyaaa~ <3”
“OSHIRI! Haha” I answered mimicking her hands.
“c’mon let’s play!” she said as she pulled me up from sitting.
“You know, I’m bad at it” I chuckled.
“Who cares? Let Daddy Santa buy you a whole team when we get back home and let them teach you hehe nyaaa~” she giggled at her idea.
They made me join. Obviously everyone seemed adjusting preventing me from getting hurt. Still I enjoyed it. As always, Sayaka and Rena almost seemed doing a 1-on-1 match while we all just stared on how the ball almost broke from their full-strength hits. Unfortunately one attack from Rena almost hit me and to my instinct I tried to avoid it stepping back shielding myself…I slipped.
I sprained myself. My playmates automatically went after me.
“Sorry, Sorry Mayu-chan” Rena said as she was about to cry in front of me.
“ahaha~
*urk don’t worry I’ll be fine, I’m not dying” I assured the worried melonpan monster.
“Ara~ I need space” as Sayaka brushed them away and positioned herself in front of me attempting to give first-aid. It helped a bit, but not enough to aid me walking.
“Sorry, I made you play~” Yuko frowning.
“It’s okay, not your fault too Oshiriko-chan” I smiled at the sulking squirrel.
“Come~ Hop on my back, I’ll carry you” as Jurina ducked herself facing her back on me. She turned on me and smile.
“Just like the old times~?” She carried me like the old times. When we always play together, when I always failed, when I was alone, when I was hurt….She was there, giving me a piggy-back ride, sharing the pain I’m having…
She laid me on the huge sofa inside the receiving area and attended my leg,
“I’m glad you’re with me Jurina~” I stared at her. She did the same.
“Depend on me~ I’ll protect you Mayu” with her sincerest feelings.
A few minutes after Yuki appeared with Koji panting, probably hearing the news from the others. She knelt before me.
“Does it still hurt?” she asked me worriedly, even panicking for a bit.
“I’m feeling better” I answered as the others came inside too.
“What do you want? Anything?” she said a little panicky as she tried to hold me.
“I said I am fine, do you understand?” as I pushed her hand avoiding the touch. Everyone seemed in shock on what actually happened probably not used seeing us in such situation. Jurina just stared in awe.
“I see…I understand very well Mayu~” she stood up and went outside. Koji followed her, while everyone maintained a distance for a bit to lighten the heavy mood I just created.
“mou~ Mayu-chan, are you okay?” as Rena approached me. I got it; she wasn’t asking about my physical pain, she meant my heart. I gave her a face that she wouldn’t wanted to see, the impression of admitting I’m hurt. I’m awfully bleeding inside. She pulled me for hug. This time, I won’t falter. It’s the least I’d want to do that moment, showing myself break into pieces.
10:00PMJurina took me inside my room and laid me on my bed. She sat on my bedside facing me.
“Sleep well Mayu-chan” as she caressed my fringe gently. I just nodded, When she was about to go… I stopped her. I held her hand. She turned on me.
“Jurina, thank you~”
“Ara~ I know that, just rest for now” she smiled at me and paved her exit from my room.
Yet I was alone again.
“Yukirin~ what should I do?”Suddenly someone knocked on my door. I was hoping it was her…I was wrong.
It was Acchan.
“Glad you’re still awake Mayu-chan~” she showed her ever-perfect smile.
She sat beside me, and covered herself with the blanket I’m using, resting her back on the bed board. She hugged my head brushing my hair as I leaned on her.
“I never saw you like that…”
“Hmm..?”
“The way you talked to Yuki-chan…”
“…….”
“Fierce…. Nee?~ <3” she anchored her head to see how I reacted. She giggled.
“Stop teasing me…” as I playfully pinched her pyjamas.
“Nee Mayu-chan? Want me to sleep with you for tonight~?” she asked me.
“How about sensei?” I asked as I slightly twisted my head to face her.
“Hmm… Yuko-chan will take over for me, don’t worry~ <3” and there her smile again that can calm a world war.
“EH?!” shocked by her statement. I wonder what those two midgets will do. When suddenly someone knocked the door once again and eventually opened it.
It was Milky.
“woi! What are you two doing without me?!” as she climbed on the bed and squeeze herself between me and Acchan, hugging her new hobby mate and me.
“Yeah, let’s stay together for tonight…” I whispered as I settled myself hugging the two.
====
And yet it was morning again, our last day. Yesterday was such a disaster. I couldn’t help it. They made me stay in my room to rest further.
“Shame on me Yuko-chan, I messed up your vacation” I said feeling sorry for the girl who chose to stay beside me.
“What are you saying~? It was my fault” she said as she sat beside me.
“This vacation is more than enough” she said smiling at me as she was interrupted by a sudden call. She took her phone out and looked for the caller’s ID. It was my father’s.
“moshi~mosh,….I see, yes Mr. President, I’ll relay it” nodded in every statement my father made , she hang up. She closed her phone and turned on me. Nodding on me, it’s as if talking to me through telepathy. I knew it. My little crazy dream is about to end. Reality has set in.
It’s the end.
“Mayu-chan, It’s good till it lasted, nee~?” She said as she turned her back on me reaching for the door as she wipes her face. She was crying.
“It is amazing…Yuko-chan” I looked down as I savour all the happy memories I’ve made with all of my new found friends.
“Thanks for the precious memories~”===
Feeling better, I asked Jurina to get Koji for me to have a word. After a few minutes, he came inside my room and assisted me outside to get some fresh air. He sat beside me, It was my most favourite spot in the resort, It’s where I always hung with my mother, that place is so dear to my heart and is bound where I’ll stand for myself for the first time.
“Time flew fast nee Mayu-chan?” he said as he stretched his legs into the sand and arms up in the air.
“Indeed….” I said and turned on him.
“Koji….”
“hmm?”
“Could you keep a secret for me?” I asked him looking straight into his eyes. The truth is he’s one of the few people I trust most.
“Yes, I could….will” He smiled at me.
“I’m not staying any longer here….”
“Huh? What do you mean?” he asked in disbelief.
“Sooner or later, I’ll be leaving…”
“Why? You just got here…?”
“Circumstances…. Keep your promise nee?” as I gently tapped his shoulder.
“What about….”
“You love her right? Answer me….” looking straight into his eyes I already knew the answer. I smiled at him.
I offered him my hand… hesitating to take my hand…
“Let’s close the deal… shake my hand~?” I told him as he stared into my hand.
He reached for it and shook it.
“That’s it… Let’s go back” I said trying my hardest concealing my real emotions. My blank face has saved me once again.
====
That night, the very last night of our vacation, I locked up myself in my room; the room was dark and cold. Thankfully, Yuko, Jurina, and Rena were there to make-up some reasons to let me be. I needed my lone time at once as my heart didn’t seem to be functioning anymore, totally numb. I cried and cried curling up my body on my bed until I got no more tears to spare, as if it would be the last time I’d cry for anything. I hated the reality of fooling myself in such impossibilities. I was too naïve
“It’ll never happen~”I wanted Yuki to comfort me whilst she was the least person I wanted to see me like this.
She can’t be with me.
People will judge her.
I wanted to give her a normal life, beside me.
Life is cruel.
“Dad, will I disappoint you?”
“Mom, I’m hurt~ I’m deeply wounded”++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Yuki POV
“I’m failing too hard at this~” I muttered as I sat down on the bench across the mini garden just outside the residence. The full moon shone brighter as ever as I stared at it.
Just a day after Miyuki gave me her blessings for Mayu, we almost fought. She didn’t know I was trying too hard. I couldn’t stand just being with her alone, I’m afraid I might lose my sanity. I distanced myself; I endured every second being away from her.
“Am I struggling for nothing~?” “I said I am fine, do you understand?”Seeing her treat me like that hurts…not knowing the cause hurts even more.
“Why are you pushing me away~?” I clenched my fist as hard as I could almost aim to hurt myself…
“What the heck are you doing Miss Perfect?” I turned my tear-dwelling eyes to the origin of words.
I saw Milky.
“If I wasn’t trying to play nice here, I would’ve hit you with a wooden bat already hmf!” she said as she sat beside me and crossed her arms on her chest.
“Don’t make me regret anything Kashiwagi girl~” she uttered as she stared to the moon.
“I’m sorry, I’m failing….” I turned my head down as I hid my crying messed up face.
“Here…” I opened my eyes and saw her hand with a dangling keychain, an alpaca keychain. I took it, it’s Mayu’s favourite, tracing the object with my finger I realized there was a key attached to it..
....
“What’s this for~?”
“It’s a master key copy” She said blankly.
“Why are you giving this to me…?” I asked as she turned on me.
“I don’t need it for now…. Somebody else though” she said as she tapped my shoulder and stood up. Facing her back on me…
“I heard from Paruru, you’re pretty but simply stupid most at the time… so I shall say this, that key can open every door in this house, you got it?” she didn’t bother to look at me anymore as she walked away and disappeared from my sight.
“Milky~ sorry”
===
I barged inside the house aiming to go upstairs. Jurina was there with Yuko, Rena and even Sae and Sayaka. As if they’ were guarding the grand staircase.
Holding the key tightly on my hand, I moved forward. “Let me through~” I said firmly as Jurina blocked my way.
“I’m sorry, spare this night for Mayu~” she calmly said.
“I want to talk to her, let me through” I said at the verge of crying in front of them as everyone has probably noticed the commotion I’m making.
“Don’t do this Yuki-chan”
“I SAID LET ME THROUGH!!!” I clenched my fist even more.
“Let her~” as the words echoed across the area from Rena. Jurina just looked at her in awe.
“I guess you wouldn’t want Black destroy this house…” she said as she showed a reassuring smile to Jurina. Letting out a sigh Jurina obliged and let me through.
“sou~ everyone, don’t you ever dare go upstairs till they’re done doing their business okay?” as Rena ordered the mob which seemed confused with what’s happening.
“AHHH! What a shame?! Nyaa~” Yuko grinning with Sasshi as they both hooked their arms on the other midget-sensei.
“you mean….” As Tomochin stared at Yuko and Sasshi with widened eyes.
“mou~ that’s so….hmmm chiyu~ <3” as Chiyu clinged on Tomochin’s arm.
“What do you mean, Yuko-sempai?” YuiParu asked in unison.
“Ara~ she’s just joking Yui-chan, Paruru-chan~ <3 c’mon let’s make sand castles” as the president pulled the two outside the house.
======
The irony of the closer I get to her room, the slower I was taking my steps, is killing me until I realized my hands were trembling. Aiming for the lock was breath-taking. With no plans at hand, I opened the door.
The room was dark. I stepped in as the cold breeze emerged from the open deck as the curtains danced under the shining full moon. I twisted my arm, still holding the knob from my back as I leaned on the door. I searched for her…
She was curled up sitting on the floor, hugging her knees, “Why do I always see you like that?” a whisper that didn’t seem like one from the dead-silent room. She lifted her head and stared at me. I was holding back, I placed my hand on my chest holding the key..
“Yuki~”
I took each step cautiously and knelt before her with my wavering hands couldn’t resist anymore, I let go of the key. I held her cold hand and placed it above my heart… beating wilder every second I’m with her.
“Can you feel it Mayu?” Instead of answering she moved closer and placed her ear against it.
“Yes…..I always do”
I wrapped my slender arms on her head for a hug as I kissed her forehead. “Mayu~ for once I want to be selfish…forgive me”
“Spare me a wish, Mayu~”
“I’ll ….grant it”
“Be mine, tonight….”
