Dreaming Part 2 


Rena finished her warm milk and placed the empty glass next to her bed. She jumped on the bed and tucked herself in. She said her prayers before
closing her eyes for the day’s good night sleep.

**

Rena was there again, at the bench in the empty park. The park a few blocks away from her university. The same dream? She thought. No, it can’t
be. It just a recurring dream because she was thinking and talking about it with Kanon the whole day. That was why the dream happening again.

Lazily, Rena leaned on the bench, looking up to the white cloudless sky. She will wait like this until she wakes up.

“Excuse me.”

Rena was surprised, jolted in her seat. Standing next to her was a girl, a young girl, the girl she saw yesterday in the same dream as this.

“Hey,” the girl smiled shyly. “Sorry to startle you.”

“Who are you?”

“My name is Jurina. I’ve seen you before.”

“Yeah,” Rena nodded, “me too. In a dream. Yesterday. A dream like this.”

Jurina smiled wider. “Yes. A pleasant dream, don’t you think?”

“Not really.”

Jurina pointed to the empty space next to Rena. “May I?”

“Sure,” Rena scooted over.

“Here,” Jurina handed a photograph.

Rena looked at her cautiously before taking the photo. She looked at it. The photo showed an empty bench in the park. The bench she was sitting on.

“Uh… what about it?”

“Don’t you see?” Jurina looked at her with sparkling eyes.

See what? Asked Rena to herself and once again looked at the photo. There was nothing on it except the empty bench.

“You like… photography?”

“So much!” Jurina raised her voice, excited. “I like taking pictures of this beautiful world.”

“Good,” Rena returned the photo.

“What are your hobbies?”

“Um… I don’t have one.”

“Come on, everybody needs a hobby.”

“Not me.”

“I don’t believe you.”

“Well… reading maybe.”

“What kind of book?”

“Anything.”

“You must have one you like the most. What are you reading now?”

“Um… The Fifth Revision of Public Constitution.”

“Oh, my, that’s heavy.”

“The book is a thousand pages thick, so yes.”

“No, I mean the content. I mean, constitution? Whoa.”

Rena smiled. She couldn’t help it. Jurina was too cheerful, too bright to not make her smile. They talked for another minute, getting to know each other.
Jurina was indeed younger than Rena and how the other girl was going to take the test to become a junior lawyer. It was not until a sound of ringing
blared in the sky that they stopped talking.

“Oh, I think that’s my alarm ringing,” said Rena.

“This blaring sound is your alarm? So boring.”

“It’s the default ring in my alarm clock.”

“I shall buy you a better ringing clock.”

Rena laughed. “Okay.”

And the sound began to shake the world they were in and destroyed it. Rena had to wake up.


**

Rena woke up in smile. A pleasant dream indeed. But then she reminded herself that it was only a dream. No matter how real it felt. She stretched her
body and stepped down her bed. She had a class in a few hours.

**

Jurina jumped down her bed and quickly booted up her PC. She scrolled down the pictures she took yesterday at the park and printed out the one with
two girl figures in it. She took the freshly printed photo and smiled.

“It’s you! It’s really you!” she said. “But what are you doing in my dream? Why am I dreaming about you?”

She took her bag and shoved the photo in one of the pockets. She dialed a number on her phone.

“Mariko-chan? I need to see you. I want to tell you something!”

**

Jurina stepped down the bus she was taking and she ran so fast across the park she saw in her dream. Then, she took a turn to a smaller road that led
her to a housing district. She arrived at Mariko’s house. Jurina rapped the door that Mariko had to scold her when she opened it.

“Calm down. What’s going on?”

Jurina tried to catch her breath before talking. “Remember when we were taking pictures at the park.”

“The park over there?” Mariko asked.
.
“Yes, that park. I found a girl who came into my dream!”
.
“What?”

Jurina opened up a pocket on her bag, rummaging it, looking for the photo. “Yesterday and the day before, I had a dream. A dream of a girl…. Wait.”

She couldn’t find the photo.

“Where is it?”

“Where’s what?”

“Did I drop it? Crap!”
.
“Jurina?”

“Mariko-chan, help me find the photo!” Jurina grabbed Mariko’s hand and yanked her out of the house.

“Tell me what the hell’s going on!”

“I’ll tell you on the way!”

**

Rena walked leisurely along the park. The park was filled with children from a nearby kindergarten. She smiled when she saw the bench she was sitting
on in her dream. Then, something caught her attention. A photo was lying on the ground.

She bent down and picked it up. It was a photo of a bench. Her bench. The one she was sitting on in the dream. But there was something different from
it. There were two girls behind the bench. It was her and Kanon’s pictures. She didn’t see it before in the dream because her thumb was blocking it.
Now she knew why Jurina was so excited when she showed her the photo.

“The dream… is real?”

**

 Mariko had to give in to Jurina’s demand as she dragged her all the way to the park. She panted, tired after the run.

“Look for it!” said Jurina.

“Okay,” Mariko nodded. “I must be mad for helping you look for a photo with a girl you see in a dream.”

“It’s real! The dream is real!”

“There is no such thing, Jurina,” Mariko said that but she looked for the photo anyway.

“She’s real! If only I didn’t avert my eyes then I would see her. Flesh and blood.”

“What would you do if we found the photo?”

“I will look for her.”

“How?”

“I don’t know. First, let’s find the photo. One step at a time.”

“You don’t even know her name.”

“Crap! I should ask her name the next time we meet.”

“Where?”
.
“In the dream, of course.

“Okay.”

**

Rena arrived home after her classes ended around seven. She took a bath and drank her milk in a flash and then ran to her room. She looked at the
photo on her desk and smiled. The dream was real.
.
She climbed to the bed and said her prayers.

“If it’s real… meet me again in there, Jurina.”

Rena closed her eyes.

Dreaming Part 3

Jurina was throwing her room inside out, upside down, looking for the photograph.

“Where is it?” she said in frustration. After the search at the park came out in vain, she expected to find the photo back in her room. But even there,
she had no luck.

Jurina tossed everything in her room one more time. Not wanting to give up easily.

**

Rena opened her eyes to the dark ceiling of her room. She was not sleepy. It had been a half an hour since she climbed up the bed, pulled the blanket
up to her chin, hoping that she would soon drifted off to sleep but her eyes were showing no hint of fatigue.

“Sleep, Rena, sleep.”

**

Jurina looked at the mess she just made in her room and still no photo. She was tired to the point of almost crying. With a heave of weary breath, she
decided that it was time to give up.

**

Rena counted the sheep in her head, trying the scientific way of falling asleep. She was reaching the number 325 when sleepiness started to come.

**

Jurina laid on the bed, tired and depressed. Her fatigue kicked in and she dozed away.

**

Jurina ran to Rena’s side and sat next to her.

“Hey.”

Rena was not in a good mood.

“Hello.”

Rena didn’t answer.

“What’s going on?”

Rena looked away.

“Um… are you okay?”

Rena crossed her arms, put one leg on the other. She looked really upset. Jurina took it as a challenge. She positioned herself right in front of Rena and
looked at her deeply in the eyes. Rena eyed her angrily. For a few seconds they were looking at each other face when Jurina suddenly crossed her
eyes, protruded her lips and pouted.

Rena blew out laughing.

“Ha! I did it!” Jurina jumped up and down. “I made you laugh.”

Rena was leaning her head back, falling to the side and bent down laughing. Jurina waited until she finished and said: “Why are you upset?”

“Because you’re late, Jurina,” said Rena. “I was here all alone.”

“Sorry. I lost something of mine.”

Rena smiled. “I think I know what that is.”

“You do?”

“Meet me here tomorrow at three o’clock and I’ll give what you’re looking for.”

Jurina looked at Rena and then she nodded. “Okay.”

“Don’t be late.”

“I will not.”


--



It was Saturday and Rena had no schedule or whatsoever that day. She was bumping around in the house lazily watching pointless reality shows. Her
mother had gone for the monthly groceries run so she was left alone in the house.

When the news came on, Rena looked at the clock. It was twelve. Then she remembered a promise she made Jurina took in the dream. Three o’clock.
It was three hours away.

Rena looked blankly to the TV, to the talking anchor but she was not listening. She was thinking. Should she go to the park to wait for Jurina for a
promise in a dream?

**

Jurina was with Mariko editing photos in the older girl’s room. They were so immersed in doing it that Jurina couldn’t even remember about the time.
When the clock struck at one, Jurina looked at Mariko.

“Mariko-chan?”

“Hm?”

Jurina was about to ask Mariko if she should go to the park to fulfill a promise she made in a dream. But Mariko would laugh at her so she decided
against it. “Nothing.”

**

It was two and Rena was still sitting on her sofa. Some parts of her heart told her to go, to run to the park and wait for Jurina. But her brain said that a
dream was just a dream. Nothing more. Nothing less.

**

Jurina contemplated. She looked out of Mariko’s window to the vast sky. The girl she met in the dream was real, she said to herself, she was in the
photo she took. Maybe she saw her before and that was why she appeared in her dream. And in the dream they made a promise.

But a dream was just a dream. It was something you should not think of too deeply to keep your sanity. Because a dream is an empty hope. Even if
you made a promise in a dream with someone it didn’t mean that that someone saw the same dream, made the same promise. Thinking that the
promise in a dream was real was probably not a good idea. It was crazy.

**

Rena typed up a message to her friend, Kanon, and it said: “Kanon-chan, if this world is illogical, would go to meet someone you promised to meet in a
dream?”

She sent the text.

**

Jurina bit her lower lip when the clock hit 14.30. Her heart began to felt restless.

**

A reply came from Kanon to Rena’s phone a few minutes later. It said: “I won’t. But if this is a crazy world then I will. I definitely will.”

Rena looked at the message for quite a while. Then, she came to a decision.

**

Jurina made her decision. She took her bag and ran off Mariko’s room.

“Hey! Where are you going?!”

“I don’t want any regret!” said Jurina as she ran down the stairs to the front door.

When she was outside, she dashed with all of her might to the park. It was five minutes to three. Although Jurina was not sure if she could reach the
park in time or even to run that far, she sprinted anyway. She will fulfill her promise.

Her lungs were about to burst, protesting in every way possible for her to stop running. But Jurina didn’t stop. She forced her body to the limit to reach
the park in time. Her feet were aching and she felt like vomiting but she kept on running.

Without even taking glances to her watch, Jurina dashed along the roadside, making maneuvers between the pedestrians. She finally saw the park, its
gate. She sped up, ignoring the screaming of her lungs that had so many difficulties of taking in air already.

Jurina jumped into the gate, ran along the pathway and finally reached the huge tree with the bench she was sitting on. She turned right and found the
bench where Rena supposed to be. But the bench was empty.

The young girl dropped her bag, put both hands on her knees, panting for air. She looked at her watch. It was fifteen minutes past three. She was too
late.

Jurina wiped the sweat off her forehead. Her heart sunk a little. Rena was not there. Maybe she didn’t come after all and Jurina was over imagining
things. A dream was just a dream. Or maybe she left already. Jurina was late after all.

Whatever the reason, Jurina had tried her best to fulfill her promise. An imaginary promise. A promise she made in a dream. People would think of her
as crazy because of it but she didn’t care. Like she said to Mariko, she didn’t want any regret and she had none. She was relieved.

“Hey.”

Jurina turned around in surprise. Rena was standing behind her, smiling beautifully.

“Hi.”

Rena stuck out her hand. A photo of the bench with two girl figures at the background. “You’re fifteen minutes late.”

Jurina took the photo. “Sorry.”

“My name is Rena.”

Jurina smiled. “I’m Jurina.

Black Black Heart

Mayu woke up to an empty bed feeling disappointed but relieved at the same time. She stayed there underneath her thick blanket, surrounded by fluffy
pillows, for a few moments, relishing the abruptly ended dream she just had. It was a dream of old days. Days when she was dancing alongside ten,
dozens, of her friends on stage, singing the song that everybody in the whole country knew about. It was long gone though, that times. It was nothing
more than a memory.

She pushed herself up, leaning on the headboard and yawned, letting the blanket slid down her body, revealing a long shirt on her body. She scanned
the room with her eyes, looking for someone but she was alone. The huge room was awkwardly lonely without company, she thought.

Mayu left the bed to the bathroom and washed her face. As she watched her pale skin in the mirror, she realized how little she changed these past five
years. Her hair was still as dark as the night sky with no moon, long and wavy down to her shoulder blade. Round eyes and puny nose. Her height was
still the same, not an inch taller. Her mediocre sized breasts were still firm just as her butts – oh, she wasn’t wearing anything under the shirt.

She tried tying her hair into a double ponytails on each side of her head, a style she long graduated from. It was still look good on her. She could easily
passed as a middle-schooler anywhere. The only difference was probably on her chin. It got longer and the jawline was more defined over the time. It
made her a bit masculine that she wanted but it was okay.

After brushing her teeth and putting on some proper clothing, Mayu went to the kitchen, poured herself a glass of milk and finished it in one shot. The
clock struck at five in the morning and in that season, the sun was probably still peeking somewhere in the horizon. A perfect view to watch from the
shore.

With light steps, Mayu went out to the porch, look to the East at the dawning sky. A slight of orange in a massive purple canvas came into her vision.
Beautiful.

When Mayu stepped to the fence of her porch, she saw the one she was looking for when she woke up. Yuki was sitting on a rock facing the sunrise.
Mayu swore to herself that buying this beach house was worth every yen. There was nothing more amazing than to watch the girl you love the most
with the sunrise as the background.

Mayu walked to Yuki and sat on a rock next to her. “Morning.”

“Morning,” Yuki said, not looking to Mayu’s direction.

Then the two watched the sun climbed the sky. Slowly. “What time did you wake up?”

Yuki hugged her knees. “I didn’t really fall asleep.”

Mayu smiled. “After what we did last night? Really? I slept like a log.”

“That’s good.”

Yuki was not in a good mood.

“You okay?”

“Yeah. Why?”

“You don’t seem okay.”

Yuki looked at Mayu, as if wanted to say something, but then she returned her gaze to the sunrise. “Never mind.”

“You’re weird.”

Both of them stared to the horizon in silence.

“Mayu...,” Yuki said with such soft voice, “aren’t you supposed to be somewhere?”

“No. Why?”

“Don’t you have a premiere to go to?”

“Cancelled it. They said I don’t have to go, so....”

“You should.”

“Nah. I’d rather stay here and be with yo....”

“You might find someone there.”

Mayu noticed a weird tone in that sentence. Something she can’t read just yet.

“You should go and find yourself a boyfriend,” said Yuki, still looking at the creeping sun. “You’re 25 now and you should think of settling down, no? You
don’t want to be like me. 28 and still alone.”

Yuki waited for Mayu to respond while she watch the sky turning orange little by little. The younger girl said nothing though and it made Yuki turned to
her direction. With no warning, Mayu slapped Yuki hard on her left cheek.

Mayu was looking at her with wide eyes, red and watery. She was biting her lower lip, holding her trembling jaw. Tears melted down her cheeks as she
stood up. “Screw you.”

Yuki watched Mayu stomped her way back to the beach house. She was frozen long after Mayu had gone in. It was a sight that took her whole soul
away. Mayu’s angry face. No, not angry. It was something else. More than angry, Mayu was sad, disappointed. It was an expression Yuki couldn’t bear
to see anymore so she stayed there, at the shore. But when the sun was high enough that her shadow was casted long on the sand, Yuki ran after
Mayu.

She went inside the beach house, calling her name. No answer. She ran into the room. Mayu wasn’t there. Her stuff wasn’t there. Yuki frantically ran to
the front door and found that Mayu’s car was no longer there.

Mayu had left here alone in the beach house.

Yuki stumbled back, leaning on the door. Her heart felt heavy and with each breath she took, her whole body ached. Tears formed in her eyes but she
refused to cry. It was for the best, she said to herself, it was for Mayu’s sake.

Right?

Black Black Heart Part 2

Tutta, was a name of a cafe in a more rural district in Akihabara. It was known for its wide variety of foods and beverages as well as the cozy
atmosphere of the place. Different from all those fancy or gimmick-filled cafes that had sprung in the district like an uncontrolled plague, Tutta offered
their patrons a simple experience to just enjoy their time and their meal. The place had huge windows as its walls and mild-dark interior. Dimmed
lighting – but not too dim for those who would spend their time reading a book from Tutta’s collection.

The owner of the cafe was an ex-member of a legendary idol group in the nation - now went on a solo path of an occasional singer and a full time
actress – Kitahara Rie. The 26 years girl was just on her way back after an overnight shoot to Tutta when she saw the place was a little bit more packed
than usual. The reason for that was Ooshima Yuuko.

Yuuko was sitting at the bar, talking to the bartender with her usual bright smile and cheerful aura. Rie thanked God for the attention Yuuko garnered as
she walked to her.

“Yuuko-san,” said Rie as she took a seat next to her old friend.

“Hey. You busy, girl. You barely have no time to contact me anymore,” Yuuko pinched Rie’s bottoms playfully but the latter girl jumped up in surprise.
Old habits die hard, Rie thought. While it was not unpleasant to get such sex harrassment from her senior, Rie felt like she had already in an age where
that seemed inappropriate. Never mind, though. Thank God, again, that Yuuko was beautiful.

“You too. You didn’t come to the reunion last week.”

“Yeah, I guess I’ve been kind of busy too. I’m here though, to give you a happy news. Yuihan is getting married,” Yuuko handed Rie an envelope of a
wedding invitation.

“She what?!” Rie shrieked. “Oh, it’s about time!”

“Yeah. It’s next month, 23rd. Come.”

“Of course! I wouldn’t miss it for the world.”

Yuuko smiled. But this smile was different. Rie noticed just a tiny bit of sadness in it. “What’s wrong?”

“That was how someone supposed to react on a wedding invitation. Don’t you agree?”

“Yeah. Why?”

“Yuki took it a bit different.”

“How’s that?”

“She broke all ties with Mayu.”

**

Yuki was walking back to her apartment with a six-pack inside her grocery bag when she found Rie was already standing in front of her door.

“Rie....”

“Hey,” she said. “Where were you?”

“Groceries,” Yuki lifted her bag. “What’s up?”

Yuki let Rie into her apartment, leading her to the living room.

“I....”

“What?”

“It’s....,” Rie was stuttering.

Yuki smiled at her. “What’s wrong?”

“I’m never good at hitting around the bush. I’ll just say it.”

“Say, it then.”

Rie stood in the living room, hands crossed, as Yuki put her groceries into the fridge. “Why did you break up? With Mayu.”

Yuki, casually, walked from the kitchen with a beer in her hand. “It’s time, I guess.”

“For what?”

“For her to live a real life.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Did you hear Yuihan is getting married. Mii-chan came by to give me the invitation.”

“Yes.”

“Oh, there you go. When will you get married?”

“Don’t try to change the subject.”

“I’m not.”

“Then?”

Yuki looked Rie deeply into her eyes. “Mayu needs someone else. A man. Someone who can... you know... start a family. Real family. With her.”

“Is that true? Is that really why you broke up with her?”

“Yes.”

“Because you don’t think you can start a ‘real’ family with her?”

“It’s true. I can’t.”

“I don’t see why not.”

“Don’t be ridiculous.”

“Yuki.”

“We can’t have kids, Rie. That’s the reason.”

Rie fell into silence.

“She wanted kids. And that won’t happen with me. But it can happen with a guy. And she’s old enough to have one now. Remember when she said that
her life won’t be complete before she has a baby? Now is a good time to make it happen.”

“What about you then? Do you like this decision?”

“Me is irrelevant.”

“You mean you don’t like what you did?”

“Stop asking questions!”

Rie sighed. “Listen. I’m asking this because I care about you. Both of you. Believe me when I say that this will only kill you as much as it kills Mayu. I
don’t know where that thought of being with will make Mayu unhappy came from but you’re wrong. All she ever wanted in the world is in you. All those
children talk? I don’t think she will want a kid if it’s not with you.”

Yuki was frozen.

“Go call her,” Rie walked to the door. “Yuuko-san came to see me this morning. She visited Mayu at her house. You know, to give her the invitation.
And she said Mayu is a mess. She needs you, Yuki.”
