CHAPTER 9: A FEEL OF SYMPATHY
MONDAY MORNING
YURIKA'S POV
I Woke from a back pain, I realized that it was monday it was supposed to be school day but since that incident happened at school there will be no classes for 1 Week.
Pumunta ako sa kusina para magluto ng almusal.
I cooked eggs and bought a few vegetables last night. And then suddenly I remembered what happened last night. I tried to brush it off but the happenings last night was still stuck in my head.
And then I looked at the entrance door and there was a mail. It was probably from mom and dad.
I looked at the mail and it said from "Mommy & Daddy" I opened the mail and there was a note.
"Yurika, Kamusta ka diyan? Ayos lang kami dito ng daddy mo sa america. I still have some work to do to find that man but I will give you another allowance. your dad and I won't be back for another 3 Months. I hope you found a boyfriend already! I'm very excited! That's all! -Mommy & Daddy."
"I don't even understand mom what she's looking for in america." I said and then grabbed the 250$ In the mail and throwed the mail in the bin.
After that I continued eating my breakfast until Midori calls me.
After a few minutes my phone rings and it was Midori.
"Bess, Saan kana? Nandito nako sa park." Midori said.
"Alright, I'm going now," I hang up the phone and goes outside and inhale slowly. It was a fresh day, it seems like nothing will go badly wrong.
After a few minutes of walking roughly 10 Minutes, I arrived at the park and I saw Midori waving at me.
"Bess, Nandito ako!" Midori shouted at the distance.
I walk towards her and we sat in the bench and start chatting about the incident that happened at school nothing unusual.
"By the way Yurika, May crush kaba parin kay Jokichi?" Midori said with a smirk in her face.
"Ano pinagsasabi mo? Sabi ko wala akong interes sa kanya." I said with a serious expression.
Watching Midori smile makes my day but since I couldn't feel any emotions I just pull off a blank expression and still remember the day I met her.
8 YEARS AGO
I was about 10 years old when I met her, my mom, dad and I were in the park, For a few moments the 3 of us chat with eachother. But then Mom and Dad told me that they will buy some groceries across the street and I agreed to wait.
While I was sitting on the bench alone swinging my foot back and forth, A girl approached me.
"Oh hello, Ano pangalan mo?"
She said with a soft smile on her face.
I just stared at her with blank expression and looks down.
"Bat palagi ka nakatingin sa ibaba? Ano pala meron sa sapatos mo?" The girl said and looked at her again and she smiled.
"Ako pala si Midori Diodori! Ikaw?" I stared at her and finally replied,
"Ako si Yurika Saisho." I replied with a cold voice.
"Saan pala ang mga magulang mo?" She said and sat right next to me.
"My parents are in that grocery of there." I replied and point at the grocery across the street.
"So bumili sila ng mga groceries?" Midori said.
I awkwardly nodded like a puppy that was left alone by her mother on the streets,
"You know, many children doesn't want to play with me... I don't why, they say I'm different from them." Midori said, I looked at her interested in her story she was trying to interpret or comprehend.
"A kid even said that I look like a monster... I was really heartbroken, I didn't know what to say, I just went home and just was silent during dinner." Midori said as I continued to listen to her story,
I was also thinking the same way, Why am I different? What makes me so different? Why can't I feel anything...? I don't cry during funerals, I didn't cry when my dog died, I just stood there.. watching the corpse of my dog...
"Why..." Those words keep getting into my head, spinning everytime I was alone. If it rains I still feel anything nor happy nor sad.
"I think this girl might see me as different.... This girl has the potential." I said to my head as different thoughts flooded my mind.
BACK IN THE PRESENT
Midori and I continued to walk together to the park we always hangout and Chat together.
As I see Midori smiles, it makes my day shine brightly. She really sees me of what I am, who I am. But Why?
In the midst of many thoughts, Darkness consumes it. Everything happens for a reason, many questions always fill up my thoughts, my mind, Everything.
"I am different, Why did she pick me?" I said to myself, as I continue to stare at her while she continues to talk.
After about a minute, we reached the entrance of the park, It was rusty but it was childhood.
"Yurika, There's an ice cream truck nearby. Want to try their ice cream?" Midori said to me and I nodded.
We both then started to walk to the north, and there was a road there and ahead was the Ice Cream truck.
"Come on!" Midori started to walk faster and I followed behind her.
And suddenly, A Car appeared in the road. The car was fast, I then looked and my eyes began to wide open.
"MIDORI!" I screamed, it seems like time itself was slowed.
Midori turned to the car that was coming.
