Chapter 5

Farewell

“Ahm ,Sakura is it true that Ishida is leaving the country tomorrow?”

“Yes. That’s what I have heard. Why?”

“We have to help Makino chan and Ishida kun. Somehow, I want to cover up for the mistakes I’ve done in the past. I want to help my childhood friend. I can’t completely move on if I can’t let my guilt disappears.”

“I’d be glad to. I still have a sin for them.Especially Makino chan.”

“We should tell Makino chan this.”

Meanwhile, Ishida is preparing his luggage because they will leave tomorrow. As he were busy preparing a little space caught his attention. There, he saw the letters coming from Makino—it all started with “Yuki no Hime” . he then stop for a while and re-read the letters. As he was reading it he began to cry.

“I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to do this.” Somehow, he decided to take the letters with him. He tried to recall those sweet memories whom he’ll cherish for a lifetime. He then fell asleep.

Sakura and Matsuhira found Makino in the beach, still kneeling and they said what will happen tomorrow.

“Makino chan, Ishida is leaving tomorrow.”  Those words made her shut down. She can’t endure the pain she felt so she attempted to kill herself by letting drown in the sea. But then Sakura and Matsuhira stopped her.

“Let me go! I want to die! What’s the point of my life without him!(crying heavily)”

“If you love him, you must endure it! It’s just a trial to test if you really love each other Makino chan! Tell us, we’ll listen to your explanation, allow us to help you, childhood friend.” Makino was lighted up by what had Matsuhira said but she still cried of the thought Ishida would leave her. The three of them went to Matsuhira’s place. They let Makino to calm down first. Makino ate fast for she felt she was very hungry for the past days. They started asking Makino to understand the situation.

“Now, would you tell us what really happened?” Matsuhira  then asked. She lowered her head and started narrating.

“At that time, I don’t know what really happened. He just said that(will you still love me after this?) then, that presentation began. After that, I was shock to know—one of the evaluators was his father. His father’s comments were dreadful! After the show, I consulted him but his mother said he was an unwanted child. They started hurting him like hell. He then broke up with me. I don’t know what to do! (she started being hysterical until she  vomited blood)” Matsuhira then got alarmed .

“Blood! Sakura let her lie in the bed for a while. She might faint. Let her rest.”

“Hai.” The both of them close their eyes while Makino continue to release her  feelings. They can’t endure the dreadful thing that happened in the both of them. At last, Makino then fell asleep. She’s like a princess when sleeping.

“I never thought that thing would happen to her, why does she vomited blood a while ago Matshira?”

“she has Leukaemia.” Sakura was then shocked at what he said.

“How come?”

“It’s an inborn disease in her case. that’s why we’ve been monitoring her . by any case, we should take care of her.”

“Yes. I’ll do what I can.” Then, they check the health of Makino while she’s still sleeping. After 2 hours,it’s all done.”

Because she’s exhausted she slept long. In the morning Matsuhira wake Makino up while Sakura was ccoking for breakfast.

“Makino wake up. We have to catch Ishida kun.”(but she’s still lying in the bed)

“You must catch him.”

“I don’t know what to do anymore.” She lowered her head.

“Do you really love him?”

“Yes, I do.”

“If that’s so, you have to fight for him. Don’t bother the burdens, or pain- let’s go and catch him.” After a few seconds they decided to go. They hurriedly went to the airport to catch his private flight.

At the airport. . . .

Makino was running around the airport to find Ishida. They easily entered the airport because of the influence of Matsuhira and Sakura’s family.

(Ishida don’t leave me alone. I love you. )Meanwhile, Ishida is waiting for their private airplane to be prepared to flight.

(This is the end. I’m so sorry , Makino, I don’t have the choice but to it for your sake. I love you so much that I can’t dare to get you involve in my sin and to see you suffered in this miserable life .I don’t want you to curse me like my parents did.)  after a few seconds Ishida walk up the stairs with a heavy footsteps. He love her so much that he don’t want to leave her alone but he knew he couldn’t do that. There he sat on the last seat of the airplane. He was watching the land with a scar in his heart

“Makino, Ishida’s plane will be departing soon. We have to hurry. This is the pathway.”Sakura said.

“Hai.” The three of them were heading towards the location of Ishida’s airplane. The airplane starts to depart when Makino and accompany came to the location.

“Oh no! The airplane starts to depart.  “ Matsuhira said but Makino seem to heard nothing. She just continue to run to catch the attention of Ishida. After a few seconds Ishida saw her.(I love you, Ishida. Please don’t leave me alone.) Ishida then reply and attempted to escape through the window but his father noticed it and stop him. He lowered his head.(I love you, Makino) with a tears falling down. The airplane then totally departed. Ishida’s words scatter in the country of the rising sun.

Makino then lowered her head and end up kneeling on the ground.

“He totally left me.” A tear fell down on her face. She cried and cried until there were no more tears to cry. At the same time, Ishida was crying silently for she just lost someone precious to him in the very first time in his life.

Makino’s life is miserable. Every night she dreamed of her together with Ishida. She totally didnt’ care of her condition anymore. Somehow by the time Ishida arrived at France, he’s been totally tied up and was punish. Ishida’s life only revolve with this- training to be an heir for his father, to comfort his mother. Their life just continue in this horrible situation. After a few months of meditation, Makino finally realize something. She decided to talk with Sakura and Matsuhira about it.

“You see, I haven’t recovered yet from the pain I’ve felt. Thus affecting my health. Though the pain might not heal, I want to continue with my life. I want to strive from my condition. “ she then lowered her head

“SO what are your plans now?”

“I want to start over. So please help me.”

“Don’t worry. We will surely help you.” Sato said.

“Arigatou.” After their conversation, they were talking about the present time. Makino then decided to go to school. As she was heading to the rooftop she pause for a while remembering the things. She opened the door and decided to play the violin for a while.  While she was playing it she remembered the moments she spent with Ishida. The tears in her eyes started to fall again. She put her hand in her face.

“No. Don’t cry. You must not. Let him go.” But it seems her body didn’t follow her command. Big tears was falling down on her face. After a few minutes, she decided to confess.

“Gomen ne, Ishida but I don’t have to end my life now. I hope you’re happy now. I still love you. I guess this is the end. Don’t worry you’ll always be my love.” She then left the rooftop.

Ishida just woke up in the midnight. He just woke up from being whipped heavily. He dreamt of Makino saying in the rooftop of moving on in her life and letting him go.

“Yuki no Hime. Yes, you’ve made the right descision.” After a few seconds he fell asleep.
