.....Reunions hold the key to unanswered riddles.....

~ Holding a microphone in hand, a pretty and petite guy sang to his own wonderfully written songs, deeply engrossed in it as he shut his eyes tight.

~ Playing silently and deeply in concentration, the energy behind a set of drums was an amazingly handsome guy...firm and steady as the drums came to life under his guidance.

~ As the song ended, the pretty vocalist slowly opened his mesmerizing set of eyes, as his mouth parted to reveal just a light bit of his set of white pearly teeth in a smile.

~ As the song ended, the suave drummer gently shifted away from his drum set, as he advanced towards the vocalist slowly in firm and dignified steps.

~ The pretty vocalist turned back to gaze at his drummer, his rosy lips curved up to reveal the most angelic smile that brightened up his own flawless and defined facial features.

~ The handsome drummer felt a million daggers stabbed him hard in the heart as he turned his back on the pretty vocalist and directed his gaze elsewhere...

~ The pretty vocalist stared at the drummer’s firm and broad shoulders iswith questioning eyes, his hand reaching out hesistantly to hold his...

~ The handsome drummer snatched his own hand away to avoid the touch.

~ “Please don’t treat me so well…I don’t deserve such kindness and love from you, I will only bring you more hurt…one day, I will only make you weep…” the handsome drummer replied in distraught as he hurriedly went backstage.

~ Reaching out his hand, the vocalist tried to stop the leaving shadow which ceases to shrink more and more into the darkness…

…A sudden chill gust of wind grazed over his hand, alarming him as he woke up from his dream. He struggled to open his eyes…as he discovered he was not on stage after all. He was still lying in his own bedroom, staring at the ceiling in the darkness, his hands still possessing that cold, unfeeling air that had greeted him in the dream. It seemed to be mocking at him for his foolishness and his feelings of solitude.

Slowly, he replaced his hand back into the comfort of the lukewarm blanket, his mind occupied itself with repeating his final words, “One day, I will only make you weep…”

As the moonlight shone through the curtain slits, the light fell on him, on his flawless face, only this time it revealed an added teardrop, a reflection of his heartfelt pain.

 

***********************************

 

He smiled and greeted his band members warmly...Ken...Tetsu...Sa...Yukkie

He shook his head furiously, cursing himself for that mistake he made...

It had been a year.
A year since he had departed from the band.
And like a prophercy came true, he had turned his final words into a fact... god alone knows how many lonesome night he had spent weeping for his lost love...

Whoever said that time could heal all wounds?

Those who believe in that...they probably never parted with their loved ones before, probably never had to suffer the tormenting helplessness of knowing there's nothing one can do to help one's love in distress ...

 

**********************************

 

Tetsu looked at Hyde, his mind filled with doubts as he worried ceaselessly about the vocalist of the band. He was not like himself anymore, he seemed to be living in his own world, probably a world filled with troubles. He perpetually made mistakes all the time, his singing hit the wrong pitch and the wrong tone…the mood was not there. Sometimes he couldn’t even follow the rhythm of the music…wrong timing…

Due to their innumerable years of friendship and association, he could, more or less, assume and comprehend the reason why Hyde was behaving so listlessly and distracted. But what he could not grasp about the problem was why Hyde was still hanging on to the problem even after a year had passed... Everyone in the band had already grown used to Yukkie being the drummer…everyone but Hyde. He still could not forget Sakura’s former existence in the band.

For many performances, Hyde would always bring his gaze back to the drum set, but on realising it was not Sakura anymore, he would remorsefully shift back his gaze to the audience in disappointment.

Tetsu had been witnessing all these happenings.

< ---------- Ring g g g ---------- >

“Hello…”

“Sakura…”

“…Tetsu?”

 

**********************************

 

Hyde was driving aimlessly on the road, seemingly on a road to nowhere.

He had a dream of him again. Images of both of them flooded his mind…Images of them having the sweetest and most pleasant moments together…memories…

… His face, his smile, his caress, his kiss…
It was so real, so tangible that it felt so genuine.
He was so blissful in his dream…the happiness was almost indescribable.
Dreams…why did he have to ever wake up from his most wondrous moments in his sleep?

He could not identify the answer.

The tear stains on his face showed so much of the fact…a fact that he could not dispute himself-the truth that he still loved him so much.

What about him? Does he still care? Does he miss him at all?

Questions… questions with no answers…they overtook his mind…

 

***********************************

 

By the time he reached home, it was already four in the morning…

But something different about that very door was that there was a familiar figure that stood in front of it. So familiar that he chose not to believe in it ....was he still in dreamland?

He slowly advanced towards the figure, his ascent filled with uncertainty as he stepped lightly towards him. He didn’t dare to approach the figure…he was afraid…apprehensive that the apariation would disappear…just like what had eventuated one year ago…

He really hoped he was not hallucinating but was it possible that what he was seeing was real? Ever since that incident one year ago, he never heard of news about him anymore…Even Tetsu had no idea where he had vanished to....
He had thoroughly walked out of his life...
So how could it be possible that he is now standing right in front of him ?

Both of them were one feet away from each other when Hyde stopped in his steps.
He didn’t have the confidence and the faith to tread on.

Staring at him...he had mixed feelings...confusion...
At that very moment, millions of doubts chanced upon him…but they simply turned meaningless...
Being able to watch his expressionless face just right in front of him...
he was already gratified enough.

Sakura gently stepped forth, diminishing the distance between them.

He held out his hand and gently wiped off the tears from Hyde’s face.

Hyde was dumbfounded.

+++

It’s warm! It's not a an apariationn!

Hyde threw himself into the arms of the man he loved so dearly, the man he had been contemplating and thinking about day and night. His tears flowed out like a stream of waterfall as they soaked the Sakura's chest.

Sakura didn't mind. He simply stood still like a statue and allowed Hyde to cry.

After some time, he finally spoke.

“Hydee.....forget about me"

“Sakuraa...?"

“I have never…really loved you "

“…Liar…what about what we had??! Our happy memories…what we had together?”

“I have long forgotten about it all”

Hyde loosened his arms from around sakura's waist. His face unveiled a feeling of betrayal and confusion as he stared into cold expressionless eyes which conveyed inert feelings for himself.

He had found the answer....
But it wasn’t the answer he was looking for…. It was the answer he dreaded most.

+++

Sakura watched as Hyde wept on...hurt and shocked from the news. His heart ached to see him in such distress.

He realised that if he didn’t make a move soon…he would be the next one to break down in tears.

He turned and left in silence.

 

************************************

 

Hyde fell to his knees at his doorstep.

It finally drawn on him that the apariation wasn't sakura.. but the love he thought they shared...

But it's all for the better, maybe he won’t suffer so much now…maybe…

 

************************************

 

--- On Tokyo streets... ---

 

“Why?”

“I… don’t want him to waste his time on people like me. It's my way of loving him…”

“But…Hyde…he…”

“Tetsu…please help me take good care of him…”

“Sakura…”

Sakura gave a slight smile as he turned to leave…the shades he wore covered his eyes perfectly but it could never hide the tears rolling down his cheeks. .....

 

Even if the guess was wrong…at least they had a beautiful reminiscence.....
