Day Dreamer (Part 1)
Spring breeze blown in my face that afternoon, they sat on a bench near the basketball court, I enjoyed the song heave of this orange-colored headphones. Comes a woman who sat next to me "In three days, the event graduation." He said. I just nodded slowly. "Are you going to forget about it?" He asked again. "Maybe," I replied simply. "He did not even see how you last month." "I do not know lah Umemura. I do not know what I feel at this time ". My gaze still fixed on the basketball court. It was here, two years ago. For the first time I meet her. My memory suddenly returned at that time. Flashback is too deep ...
Three years ago
“Umemura san. Umera San.” aku memanggil namanya sambil setengah berlari, “Hikari san?” “Kenapa kau meninggalkan ku sendiri di Lab? Aku kan belum hafal isi sekolah ini.” “Ehh, gome (1).” “Tidak apa-apa. Ayo segera pulang.” baru saja akan melangkahkan kaki, tiba-tiba sesuatu mengenai kepala dan aku pun terjatuh. Gelap, aku tak dapat melihat apa-apa. “Dia sudah bangun” sayup-sayup ku dengar suara itu, seperti tak asing di telinga. “Ohh, syukurlah.” Sekarang terlihat dua orang berdiri di samping tempat ku berbaring. “Dimana ini? Auw, kepala ku sakit sekali.” “Hikari, kau berada di Ruang Pengobatan Sekolah sekarang, tadi Kak Makkyo tak sengaja melempar bola basket ke arah mu” “Ma-Makkyo?” lalu seseorang yang berdiri di sebelah Umemura berkata “Aku Makkyo. Maaf, aku benar-benar tak sengaja tadi. Masih sakitkah?” aku terpana, untuk beberapa saat aku hanya menatapnya, tatapannya itu.. benar-benar menghangatkan “Ouh, ya emm tidak apa-apa. Ti tidak sakit.” “Okay, aku akan kembali berlatih.” kemudian dia tersenyum padaku, dug dug dug dug. Rasanya jantung ku mau meloncat keluar saat itu juga. Dan… sejak saat itu. Aku menyukainya.
Hari-hari berikutnya, aku ingin tahu apapun tentangnya. Mencari kesempatan untuk lebih lama memandangnya, melihat setiap turnamen basket yang diikutinya. Hingga kesempatan itu datang lagi. Siang itu, hujan turun deras sekali. Sayangnya, aku tak membawa payung ataupun mantel hari itu, dan sialnya lagi, teman teman ku sudah pulang sejak dari tadi. Aku tunggu, lima belas menit – setengah jam – satu jam, “Aargh!!! Bisa kah kau berhenti sekarang? Aku sudah lapar sekali. Kue moci ku akan segera dingin di rumah… aargh!!!” menyebalkan, dan tiba-tiba seseorang menepuk pundak ku, “Hujan tidak akan berhenti hanya karena teriakan mu itu” “Hei!! memangnya kau siapp..” kata-kataku berhenti sampai di situ. Mungkin pipiku semerah tomat sekarang, “Ahaha.. Apa yang akan kau katakan? Kenapa berhenti?” “Emm, Bukan, bukan apa-apa. Sungguh!” apa yang ku katakan barusan benar? “Hahaaha, bahkan mukamu lebih merah sekarang. Aku hanya bercanda” sial! Aku hanya diam, “Maaf, maaf. Sepertinya hujan sudah tidak deras lagi. Cepat sana kau pulang. Ini, aku pinjami jaket, aku tau kau kedinginan. Okay, aku akan kembali dengan teman-teman ku. Daaagh.” belum sempat aku mengucapkan terima kasih, namun punggungnya sudah terlihat semakin menjauh dari ku. Perasaan ini? Belum pernah aku sesenang seperti sekarang. Dengan langkah ringan, aku pulang. Senyum ini bahkan tak hilang hingga aku sampai di rumah.
The next day, I intend to return the jacket belonged to Makkyo. Accompanied Umemura, we look for the class, "What is this true?" Pointing to the classroom that reads 2-B, "Yeah, you just try to find the person on the inside." "I? You did not see? a lot of people there. "" That's okay, let's get in. "before I go in, Makkyo had already been out of the classroom," Hey! "" This, jacket. Thank you. "Just on the point, I reached my" How quickly restored? "This guy is really strange, my inner. Before I could answer, he had said back "Oh yes, I know. You want to immediately meet with me again, right ?. "" Huft, whatever you say lah. I want to go back to class. "" Eitss, wait. "Bi !!! He holds my hand. I just stood there. "Sure, ask your cell phone number?" "Bo allowed. 0286- ... .. "I do not even know how to read my own phone number. "Okay! I'll call you later. "Seeing her like that, I'm just amused.
Perhaps, the more days. The days I became more beautiful than before. I do not think can be this close. Until the increase in class arrived, our relationship remains like this. Although it is often the way along. But those words. Very sentence I want to hear from him. He never spoke, even I do not know what the meaning of this relationship for him.
One afternoon, I was walking denganya in Yokohama Square, "Makkyo?" "Um, what?" He still engrossed eating his ice cream, for a moment ... I feel calm, warm feeling when close to him, still exist today. "I want to ask." "Ask away." "But you're busy with your ice cream." "I'm listening to you, talk." I was silent, he looked at me, "Okay, if there are important things that need to be asked Miss?" I chuckled to hear, "Do you have a girlfriend .. pa?" "girlfriend ?. Wahahaha "He laughed louder now, what my question sounds so strange ?," Come on, answer. "" Um, not yet. So what? "" It's okay. Just ask "my heart is screaming happy, very happy. Since that time, I never permasalahkan status of this relationship.
Until one day, nearly one week there is no news of him. My phone was never answered, emails that I send it never returned as well, even at school I rarely saw him. Why did he suddenly disappeared? Is this the end of our relationship ?. I try to think positive, but I can not! Is imagined in my mind was, this time she already has someone special. And forget about me ...
For too many emails that I send him, too much time to look for it. Perhaps, this is only a temporary illusion. I am nothing more than a brother to him, and this relationship? Only a high school love story that quickly ended. That night, the moon was bright in the sky, accompanied by winter winds cool the skin. I pressed jacket Hello Kitty's image. Looked from the window slightly open, makes me daydream about him, about Makkyo. Tears continued to wet my cheeks without being able to be prevented, "I-really-miss Makkyo." This phrase kept muttering of my mouth slightly trembling be cold tonight.
Promptly at 11:11 pm, I decided to sleep for a moment, let the brain rest for a while only. Suddenly phones that have these three days let lying on the table, shaking. Makkyo names appear instantly on the phone screen, "Hello?" I miss the sound very, now can I hear, "Hello." "I'm sorry, I've contacted you right now. The day after tomorrow, there will be held the National Basketball tournament. So I was too busy practicing with my friends. "" It's okay. "" Why if I do not contact you, you do not want to contact me first. Have you forgotten me? "Tuhaaan, not whether he saw? Already dozens of e-mails I send him, and now he just say something like that, "If there is no news, it does not mean to have forgotten it?" "Yes, you're right. Hikari "" Yes? "" You sound hoarse. Have you been crying? "Is that my voice sounded as clear? "No. I ... I was a little cold. "" Basic, you have. Now the winter, you should have it made ... (blah blah blah) "That night, we joked over the phone. He accompanied me to really asleep.

"Makkyoo, Ganbatte (2) !!" shouts echoed in the room my high school sports St. Agnes afternoon. He turned to smile occasionally respond to my cries. He continued to pass the basketball to her friend, already three times he managed to put the ball into a basketball hoop. The match starts at 06:30 PM. Makkyo and his friends managed to bring home a medal for the tournament this time.
“Kau tau? Aku suka sekali saat kau mengoper bola ke teman mu tadi dari belakang, kemudian langsung memasukkannya ke ring sambil melompat. Benar-benar hebat!” puji ku kepadanya dengan sedikit menggebu, “Beginikah?” dia langsung mengulang aksinya tadi, “Hahaha, iya!” “Lulus SMA, aku akan pergi ke New York untuk belajar lebih tentang basket. Aku ingin menjadi atlet yang hebat” katanya sambil menerawang ke langit malam itu. “Emm, ya. Semoga impian mu terwujud.” Jawabku tanpa menoleh kepadanya, “Bagaimana dengan mu?” “Aku? Entah lah, belum memiliki rencana. Lagi pula, masih satu tahun lagi kelulusan ku.” “Tapi kan merencanakan dari sekarang juga tidak salah bukan?” “Iya, memang tidak salah.” Suasana hening itu muncul, kami sibuk berkelana dengan pikiran kami sendiri, “Aku sudah menonton dan menyemangati mu sampai kau berhasil mendapat juara.” Kataku padanya, “Lalu?” “Huft, kau tidak tau atau pura-pura tidak tau?!!” “Ingin yang jujur atau bohong?” dia malah mengajakku bermain tebak-tebakan sekarang, “Aah sudahlah.” “Okay, okay. Akan ku traktir kau ice cream besok. Setuju?” “Emm, Baiklah. Janji?” “Iya, aku janji”. Seulas senyum mengembang di wajah ku, seketika tangannya langsung menggandeng tanganku… Aku… merasa, nyaman.
That afternoon, I was standing on the porch wearing a green sweater Tosca, combined with moss green knee-length skirt, sneakers of the same color with the clothes I wear, and my hair just let it decompose. Make a feminine impression visible from me. Today Umemura invited me to spend a weekend with a walk in the Grand Mall. Ku lyrics watches, already at 3:00 PM, but Umemura not come. My cell phone rang loudly, stamped his name on the phone screen "Halo" "Hikari-san, gome .. Maybe I'll be a little late getting in your home. Why do not we just meet at the Takashi Yoku Grand Mall? "Her voice was in a hurry," Okay ". Then, I walked toward the bus stop, it is not too far a distance of my home Grand Mall with this one. But I decided to take a public bus alone
When entering Grand Mall, it has not been too visible Umemura. I decided to wait at the Bookstore, reading and read a magazine. While being engrossed in the pages look, sound very familiar to me. I meencari direction of the sound. It Makkyo ... with a girl next to her. They were walking toward the restaurant's close Bookstore. Even I could not stop looking at her, and ... He glanced at me. However, not a smile or a greeting that I can. But he still walked with his girl. Sick ... I feel my eyes start to feel hot, my legs buckled. I hurried out of the bookstore, when Umemura also be entered into, "Hikari? You. What's wrong with you? "He resist measures that kept chasing me," It's okay. Looks like I'm not feeling well today. Sorry, I can not accompany you! "" It's okay. Let's go home ". Umemura not inquire further about my expression that suddenly like this.
Day Dreamer (Part 2)
Meanwhile, in Spanish
"Hiratsuka-san. I'll go to the toilet first, while you select the menu to be ordered. Just for a moment. "My word on it," Well, it's okay. "That's just the reason, I wanted to ascertain whether the girl in the bookstore was right Hikari. I half ran down the floor Mall to look into the store. I see the whole store, it turns out He was not there. Up to see two girls were standing side by side on the steps of the escalator. The more my speed up my run to approach the girl, "Hikari!" I managed patted his shoulder, "It's not what you think" the breath still wheezing, I tried to explain to him, "So?" "Diaa .. he is not , I mean he just .. "" Oh well, do not bother to explain it to me. It also does not concern me. "Hikari answered with a flat tone, he did not show any expression," Hikari Hikari! ". But he just ran away from me.
The wind that suddenly berhemmbus with tight, my awareness of this long reverie. Apparently, I'm new
aware that Umemura no longer sitting next to me. Sneakers that I wear make sound shiver, when I stepped. Makkyo, Soon you'll get your desire. Go to New York to learn more about basketball. And I'm here ... It will study harder to get maximum value in my graduation next year. That afternoon, the sunset looks more beautiful than yesterday. Make a handsome sheen while reflecting light into a calm lake water.
One year passed. I can graduate high school with good grades. The desire to go to college in Paris, it was taken seriously by my father and mother. Footsteps are slowly from the next room, she just walk. Because my room door was accidentally left open, "It is finished packing up your belongings Hikari?" He asked gently, "No, I'm still confused. Are all the items here, will be taken or not. "" Okay, Mom aids to mengemasinya, "with eyes that look glassy, he helped me to organize this stuff in a suitcase. "Mom?" "What Hikari?" "I'm definitely going to miss you." I said to her, "Mother, this house would certainly lonely without you here." "Haha, she could have been. Are there no good as homemade mochi cake Mother? "" Of course not. So, whenever you menginkan mochi cakes. You just have to call Mom alone. Then the next day, you are able to eat together temaan your friends. "" Really? Then I'll often call Mother so that the cake could mochinya I enjoy every day. "" Hahaha, yes, you must be diligent to call Mom ". I just moved to tears, it immediately grabbed the hands of a woman's body that is in front of me now. "Be good there. Take care of your health always. Mother will always pray for you here. Do not hesitate to call Mom whenever you need it. "" Yes mother. Thank you. "
5 years later
I closed the book this thick, lettering embossed with block letters on the cover. Not feel the time passed so quickly. My name has been stated clearly in the plaque hanging in the wall near the gate. Hikari Motoyoma, written with honors at the University Boveire. Now it is the second year of my apprenticeship native speakers here. It was great, can rise from the past. Make it a motivation to move to a better future. The sound of my flat shoes not too clear in this big room, a moment I glanced at the woman librarian, he enjoys reading novels, sometimes justify glasses slipped down. I followed every towering bookcase. I put the book that has just been read. A man wearing jeans with porsche car parked behind it, has been waiting for me outside the library. He waved his hand with a smile, "Hi." She said pleasantly, "It's been a long time waiting for ?. Sorry, I was too absorbed if it is located in the library "The man just looked at me with a big smile on his face," It's okay, I'll just remind that our flight would leave in half an hour. "" Um, I've been longing to Japan, there is winter now. "" Me too, let's hurry it. "His gaze is not separated from my face, and we chuckled together. He gently opened the car door, I stepped inside.
Half an hour we traverse the streets of Paris are filled with dry leaves that fall, fresh air immediately
hit my face in the car. The plane will take off in ten minutes, we were busy with their own thoughts, so little conversation we did. Announcements from speakers mounted in each corner of the airport, that we were the best informed will soon take off. I took the suitcase and walked to the door of the plane. He walked behind me, we sat next to each other on the plane. Seen thousands of light down there, slowly beginning to tread the ground plane again. Instantaneous sleepiness comes, just a few minutes. I was asleep ...
I yawned, rubbed his eyes, and woke up slowly. He was still sleeping on my shoulder. I smiled at her face, a face that is very soothing. Make my life changed slowly, slowly forgetting someone. And retracing the future with him. "Mario, Mario ... wake up. We're here. "I shook his shoulder gently," Um, ehhh "he yawned," Ohh, yes. The air was cold. "" Yeah, let's hurry home. "He stood up and the road slowly, taking my hand.
We took a cab to get home. Along the way I used to keep the streets telling the stories of my high school. He heard patiently and respond to all of them. However, only half the journey. He asked to have breakfast first. I took him to one of the taverns suburbs.
Until the meeting was to come. After breakfast, we took a short walk in the park nearby. Many pigeons peck grains sown visitors. Make roar because their wings. I sit back and relax with her on a bench near the fountain, looked at the views of the Tokyo city last five years I left off. Everything remains the same, only a little change because it has a lot of stores and shopping malls that lined the road. He clutched my shoulder. Turned and smiled. I smiled back at him, "I want to buy a soda, would you like me get me one?" "May" "Wait a minute here." He got up from the bench, just a few steps walking. He returned. I looked at him confused, he innocently asked "Where is the drink machine?" I chuckled, "You do this, there is near the hotdog vendor." Pointing toward a small shop selling some junk food menu, "Okay." He walked away from me ,
Tak berapa lama, datang seorang lelaki bertubuh tinggi dan tegap. Mengenakan jaket dan syal yang sama-sama tebalnya. Sepatunya yang besar, membuat suaranya sudah terdengar sebelum Ia duduk di sampingku. Aku tak mempedulikannya, sibuk melihat pemandangan kota yang sudah lama ku rindukan. Hingga Ia menyebut nama ku, “Hikari?” aku menoleh. Menatap wajahnya, air mukanya memperlihatkan kelelahan yang sangat. Setengah kaget menyadarinya. Ya! Dia seseorang yang dulu pernah singgah di hatiku, bukan pernah. Tapi, sampai sekarang. Bahkan setelah kurang lebih lima tahun tak bertemu dengannya, aku masih menyimpan rasa itu. Walau hanya sedikit, tapi masih tertanam dalam hati. Lalu, baru dapat aku mengucapkan sepatah kata, “Makkyo?” Ia tersenyum, ada sedikit kegembiraan terpancar di wajahnya. “Bagaimana kabar mu?” “Baik”. Aku bingung hendak mengatakan apa, terlalu sulit untuk mengungkapkan perasaan ku saat ini. “Sudah lama kita tak bertemu. Sejak kejadian itu. Kita tak pernah berkomunikasi.” Ia mengucapkannya dengan intonasi datar, tersenyum miris aku mendengarnya. Teringat kejadian dulu. Aku hanya mengangguk pelan. Rindu yang lama ku pendam, tiba-tiba menguap begitu saja. Aneh. Dua perasaan yang berbeda jauh muncul begitu saja dalam benak ku. Aku masih menyimpan perasaan itu padanya, tapi setengah hati lainnya, aku benci melihat kedatangannya yang tiba-tiba. “Kemana saja kau selama kita tak bertemu?” “Aku melanjutkan studi di Perancis. Jurusan seni.” “Wa, jauh sekali.” “Iya” Hening sejenak, “Bagaimana dengan mu?” pertanyaan itu terlontar begitu saja dari mulutku, “Sama seperti mimpi ku dulu. Ingin menjadi atlet basket terkenal. Aku pergi ke New York.” Mungkin karena jarang melihat berita olahraga, aku tak tahu perkembangan karir nya sebagai atlet. “Kita sudah menjadi dewasa sekarang.” “Emm, iya. Kau benar. Hikari, aku ingin menjelaskan sesuatu padamu. Mungkin ini yang menjadikan kau salah paham terhadapku.” Seketika hawa dingin menyeruak ke dalam tubuhku. Jantungku tiba-tiba berdegup lebih kencang. Bibir ku kelu. “Apa” Ia menimang sebentar kalimat yang akan diucapkannya padaku, “Gadis itu… Gadis yang bersama ku saat kau temui di Grand Mall. Sebenarnya, dia memang pacarku. Tapi, tapi bukan aku yang menyatakan perasaan padanya. Saat itu, aku sendiri masih ragu dengan perasaan ku padamu.” Mendengar kalimat terakhir itu, aku mengumpat dalam hati. Apakah kau tak melihat bagaimana sikap ku terhadapmu? Rasa sayang itu, apakah kau tak bisa merasakannya??. Ia menghela napas panjang, melanjutkan ceritanya. “Tapi. Lama aku termenung. Saat bersamamu, aku merasa nyaman. Tak ada gadis lain yang bisa membuat ku merasa senyaman itu. Membuat ku tertawa bebas setiap hari. Kau bisa mengerti apa yang ku rasakan. Aku mencoba menghubungi mu, tapi alamat E-Mail dan apapun itu, ternyata sudah tak kau gunakan lagi.” Memang, aku langsung mengganti semua yang berhubungan untuk bisa berkomunikasi dengan mu. “Aku baru menyadarinya. Sungguh, aku menyesal… Apakah ini semua sudah terlambat?” ragu ingin menjawabnya. Namun jawaban itu tiba-tiba datang sendiri.
Dengan langkah santai Marrio membawa dua kaleng soda di tangannya. Ia menatap ku, kemudian menatap Makkyo. Kami bertiga sejenak saling berpandangan. Dan aku baru tersadar. “Ehh, Marrio. Ini Makkyo, Ia teman SMA ku. Dan, Makkyo… Ini Marrio. Tunanganku.” Perasaan sedikit bersalah tiba-tiba menyeruak di hati ku. Tapi kenapa pula aku harus merasa bersalah dengan orang yang sudah berbuat salah padaku?. Makkyo diam, tertunduk sebentar. Lalu beranjak berdiri menyalami Marrio. “Hay Marrio!” Ia tersenyum, menjabat tangannya. “Hay! Apakah aku mengganggu perbincangan kalian berdua?” “Ahh tidak.” Dan entah kenapa, kami serempak menjawabnya. “Oh hahha. Baiklah, aku akan membelikan beberapa camilan hangat. Sambil menunggu, mungkin kalian memang masih ingin menanyakan kabar. Tak apa.” Aku langsung memegang lengannya, “Tidak Marrio. Kau tetap disini saja.” “Tidak apa-apa. Sungguh. Aku memang ingin membeli beberapa camilan.” Ia tersenyum padaku, senyum penuh pengertian. Dan berjalan santai menjauh dari kami. Aku terduduk kembali di bangku.
"Apparently I'm late." Makkyo broach. I bit my lip. Staring blankly ahead, "I'm sorry it. If I may be honest. I actually still had feelings for you. But the possibility for us together. I thought it was impossible. Actually, it is also hard for me to mengapus our memories. Forget you, but life must go on. Whatever will be. There was no way I was kept locked in the memories of the past. With expectations barely even there. "Saying my feelings along it, making me a little hard to breathe. With cold as it is today, he is still silent. There was no expression whatsoever that arise. He looked at me, "Hikari May you be happy with him. Me, I'll be your friend share. Contact me if you need help. Whatever it is. "That's it, then he stood up. Hug me warmly. I keep from crying. Why did you just say it now? When I was with him, you suddenly bring great expectations that have been long time since I buried. I wanted to change this fate. He let go of his arms. I looked down, hiding puddles that had to be spilled away from my eyes. "Bye." She smiled, went. Walked slowly left me. Only his back is visible now. And then also I sobbed slowly ...
"Remember our story with a smile, you will always be" someone "in my heart"
