Dear Mayu
Part 1 - The Meeting
“When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a manner that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice.”
~ The old proverb of Indian~
This proverb which was created from the past, is beautiful and simple but has a very deep meaning and had long been familiar to Mayu. But after since a long time, she finally found this words again here, in this motivation book, which was in her hands at this time, wasting time with reading while waiting for Akito, who as always, usually comes too late from her promise.
Hhh ...
Mayu read once more this in her heart. That for some reason, make her remember some questions in her memories that had someone told her when they found 'this sentence' somewhere.
"Hey ... Mayu ... when we die ... who will cry for us, huh?"
"How can I know." Mayu replied at the time.
"Ah, you.. Hmm .. if so ...ok, how if i change the question."
"..."
For a moment she paused and looked like she was set up her heart, "If I die ... who will cry for me, huh?"
"!?"
Frowned. disgust. She does not like to hear this question.
"... would you cry for me, Yu?"
"Hhh .. ! What the hell of question it is?" Mayu felt upset.
"Just answer. Its not hard, right." said person too.
They had glared each other because no want to lose. Mayu continues to persist do not want to answer, while she did not want to lose and bull-headed to be given the answer. Until then, their eyes were felt tender because they would stare with each other's eyes like that, Mayu finally relented.
"I don't know who will cry for you if you die. But to be frank ..."
"...to be frank?"
"..."
"Yu?"
Mayu set her heart before answering. This person, who asked her this questions is noone but Rin. And because she's Rin... so...
"To be frank, that person is not me."said Mayu without doubt.
"Why?"
Mayu did not answer. He just stared Rin melancholy.
"Why, Yu?" Rin once again asked, curious.
"... Because ..."
"Yu!"
Deg!
Mayu jolted from her reverie conscious. Someone called her name and patted her shoulder from behind. Which turned out to people it is Akito.
"Yu, you've been waiting a long time, ya. I'm sorry. I got trafic jam. My Sudako was also coming so long."she said with a rueful expression on the face put up even with the selfish blame that 'the streets are jammed' and 'Sudako (a kind of public transportation in Medan) not coming faster' were the reason which made her late to come to the meeting place.
Mayu just could only shook her head and in her heart saidt, "Tsk, tsk, tsk ..."
"Ah, no problem ..."she replied casually. And in the heart she continue...
I used to this...
She used to this.
Well .. more better than you're not coming ..., right?
"Just sit down." Mayu pointed at the chair opposite her, "By the way, are you going to order, Na?" Said Mayu later. It's in the real world rather than the virtual world so Mayu did not feel a necessity to call her with her nickname, Akito.
"Mmm ... what kind of desert, ya...?" Akito thought to choose the menu while Mayu call a waither who closest to their position.
"How about you, Yu?" Said Akito with expressions such as 'asking for opinion'.
"Coffee, as usual ..." Mayu replied while taking a leisurely drink. She does not remember what this type of coffee she drink. To her, as long as that is coffe and not black coffee which without milk mixture and creamer, she would immediately choose it. Not to mention given how she was not moody today, coffee is one of the best drink after sweet tea to her.
"Huh? You want to stay up all night again, huh!" Akito feel upset, reminded of the mission today. To scolding Mayu about her bad habits like so love to sleep late at night.
"Oh, my... Who?! I want to relax, so thats why I drink coffee, you know." Mayu replied, fending off attacks.
"Re, relax!" Akito gets confused. Relaxed for what?
Mayu was answered with her eyes. And Akito was translated it with her version, "B, because .. I once again come late, huh?"said her, afraid.
"Hm?" Mayu look wonder. As if this conversation does not connect.
" 'What,' Hm? '! "Akito upset again. Though she has had time to regret it once.
Mayu was laughing and then said, "... it seems your blood pressure was high again, ya, Na. How if you order a cucumber juice instead?"
"You want my blood pressure straight drop, huh!" Akito feel angry and even almost want to hit the table. Though Mayu know that it is clear that Akito can not eat cucumber though only slightly, much less juice. Because though she eat just a little, but she usually has her head straight so dizzy and her blood pressure down drastically.
"Miss ..." said Mayu to the faithful servant who was waiting for orders and standing next to them, "a cucumber juice for my friend, please."
"Yuuuu ....!"Growled Akito almost eager to taste pinch her cheeks. Fortunately, the good heart servant immadiatelly ask politely, "Excuse me, Miss, cucumber juice is up so ..."
"Ha! It is up!?" Mayu try to count the time, but the afternoon was not over, do not expect that there also could have immediately gone on the menu at this hour.
Too bad ...
"Miss, do not listen to her, I ordered an ice cream sundae, ok." Said Akito at the waitress with the firm.
"Ok, miss.."
"Then a pan-cake ..., a pudding caramel, a choco banana parfait, then ... Mmm ..."
".. Have you not eaten your lunch yet, Na?"
You look so hungry i thought...
"Shut up! Just keep your silent until I finished ordering. Or do you want to add orders as well, huh?"
"Mmm .. well... a strawberry cream cake for me, please."
"Also spagetti meat sauce and French fries, ya, Miss" Added Akito, closing the menu.
"Eh? but i have no mood to eat spagetti..."
"Not for you." Akito stared and still tried to hold her anger.
"..." Mayu looked away. Running away from angry stare's Akito.
"Ah .. forget it! I paid them with my own money after all. So do not fuss, ok!"
"...Then who on earth wanna paid them for you?"said Mayu and she act like an innoncent.
"Oh .. wanna say hello with my fist, huh?"
Mayu shook her head, quickly, "No, thanks." She answered quickly, and ultimately chose to remain silent. There will never be completed when they were arguing about food coachman. Especially considering how the rubber belly Akito even since a long time. Hence, for the sake of 'world peace', as usual Mayu just relented first. Although in the end she could not stop her smile when see her like this. This is because it was difficult to her to not stop feel grateful. Because Akito was not really changed since their last meet, face to face like this.
Ah ... How long... we haven't met like this, ya ...?
