Chapter 4
Page 36- _Mirage of the end_
Destination arrived, we pulled over the front gate fostering an inconceivable line trailing back to an untraceable end. Contrary to Rin, i remained expressionless. The deeply troubled look as she seemed to observe the situation more than expressed how shocked she was.
Rintarõ.... _What are we gonna do with such a long line?_
Me.... _Don't worry you can leave that to me. You just stay put here._
Risky as it was, i inched myself to the guard in hopes of using my family status' clearance. At first he hesitantly tried to push me away unaware i was a prince.
In fact nobody knew i was the emperor's son. Not a single person in the line was surprised with a 16-year old boy coming out of a black limousine, in a brand new over the top formal suit. They were all motionless smeared with anxious expressions, and glued to the person in front only to blink for less than a second. Both Takahiro and i never wanted to be recognized as the Emperor's children, but that wasn't the main reason. If anything i hated the old man, at least an apology would've been fine. "I will never go back to the imperial palace 'till the day he apologizes," i vowed to myself.
Left with my Senami side, i compelled the guard into a clinch for a sum of money. He tried to avert his eyes from the bribe but nonethless, his daring heart complied.
Me.... _Rin! come on in, we can go now!_
I called out to her and she came swallowed in a more aghast face.
Rintaro.... _Sooo Mr Keeeisuke!, would you care to explain how we got through that huge line without a problem?._
Me.... _Nevermind that, let's get going. The movie awaits and we need the best seats._ *winks*
Somehow she actually fell for it as she grabbed my hand ready to enter the large building.
Me.... _Naruhito! (chauffeur) you can do whatever you want, but be back in 2 hours_
Naruhito.... _Thank you sir!_
Inside the Kinagawa cinema lobby, we separated as i went to hold some front-row seats while she headed towards the food corner. When i entered the theatre room scheduled for our couples' romantic movie (_A dime in the dust_), the seats were mostly deserted. Only a handful of people not more than twenty clearly sat, distant from each other. I held the two seats fixed middle of the front row and in what seemed like five minutes Haruno was back. She clasped a carton of popcorn and one milkshake with two straws hanging out. Laying out an elegant smile, she passed me the shake while trying hard not to let me see her blushing face.
Me.... _Mhmm yum!, you bought my favorite, caramel flavored._ *smiles*
Rintarõ.... _*chuckles* ....Haha thanks, i've always known caramel flavored popcorn is one of your favorites_
I felt a blush rise from my neck as the innocent face of Rin flashed before me. "If only it'd last forever," i murmured to myself.
After a few minutes the room was full and not long came the viewing time. At first i hesitated, but made up my mind minutes later into the movie. I stretched my left hand towards Rin's right shoulder, wrapped it around her neck, and in response she placed her head on my lap. Halfway through she was fast asleep, and Man! did she look cute. As much as i wanted her to stay like that, _Time_ had other plans. With the 2 hour movie over, chatter noises seethed from the room and at the same time Rintaro woke up. We paced out and took a short break on the lobby bench. I slowly pulled out my day planner and opened the "plans of the day" page while Rin faced the other side. Next up was ice-cream in the around-famous Hanaba park. Rintaro suggested buying a triple scoop chocolate fudge for two, and just when we found a nice place to sit, a little boy appeared sunk in tears before us.
Rintarõ.... _What's wrong little guy, why're you crying hmm...?_
She wiped of the child's tears and i knew where this was headed.
Small boy.... _l-l got separated from mommy. *sobs*. l looked everywhere but i couldn't find her._
Rintarõ.... _Don't cry, here's some ice cream. I'll help you find your mom._
Soon after giving him the coned cream, a woman appeared shouting from a distance.
Woman.... _Atsushi!!!_
The boy known as Atsushi rushed to his mother who showed signs of relief as falls of tears fast-tracked down the ground.
Woman.... _Thank you for finding my boy. I've been looking for him all over. I'm truly grateful to you. Sorry for the ice cream let me repay you._
Rintarõ.... _Ah, there's no need. Let him keep it as a gift. Besides, all i did was cheer him up a bit._
Woman.... _Oh i'm truly grateful. May the good Lord illuminate you and your boyfriend's path. Please excuse us_
Rin's face turned red and so did mine. With the woman long gone, the moment became too awkward to even break the silence. I agonized over the ice cream situation, but "what's done is done", i mumbled to myself. We stood up hand in hand ready for the next stop.
