Karupin's Neo Master

Chater 13: Little Ryoma

PREVIOUSLY on Chapter 12: Ryoma thought that a girl named Jei-dy was only exist on his dream but when Nanako entered to his room and questioned about his blooded jersey, he confirmed that his friend was really hit by a car. On the way to the hospital, Ryoma didn't notice that his senpais followed and watched him.

Chapter 13: Little Ryoma…

Momo and Eiji shouted for a doctor, but the destiny coudn't change… and because of  this an after effect came on Ryoma.

Ryoma realized that Buddha and the God of Jei-dy are in favor in their friendship that's why he dreamed on her twice, so that they will be together for a long time and not only for a one day…

Roses are red, chocolate are sweet. Tonight in my dreams, hope to be you and me…

It's still echoing on his ears.

"If you want something to wish for, try that one, it's effective," he heard of what Jei-dy said on his past.

"Roses are red, chocolate are sweet. Tonight in my dreams, hope to be you and me…" he said in his mind.

He wanted to dream on Jei-dy again.

SNOOZE! SNOOZE! SNOOZE!

The alarm was still snoozing. He pushed the button to make it off. He is now wide awake but he only stared on the ceiling. Karupin was still sleep over his stomach.

He felt that there is a liquid came out from his eyes but he didn't pay any attention.

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

"Ryoma, you will be late," Nanako said behind the door but Ryoma didn't answer her, instead he pulled the blanket and covered himself that caused Karupin to fell down.

Nanako heard Karupin's mewed so she got inside.

"Do you still have a fever?"

Again, there was no answer.

"I'll bring you some breakfast and medicine here."

"Don't bother," he said that made Nanako stop in going outside the room.

"But-"

"I want to rest. Don't let anyone disturb me," he said with a cold voice.

"Okay…" she said without regret and then leaves the room.

Karupin jumped on his bed. Ryoma got him and embraced him while remembering the past six years ago…

…He noticed a girl in a not so far distance from him who have a little cute basket.

They're in the place near the river.

"Why will you leave a cute kitten here?" Little Ryoma asked curiously.

"My Mama doesn't want him in our home," the cute girl replied.

"Why?"

"My younger sister had asthma."

"And then who will take care of him?"

The girl faced Ryoma. Her eyes were so lonely.

"Hope you don't mind if I'll take him?"

"Really?" The girl asked that seems she saw a hope.

"I like him to be mine," Ryoma said straight to the point.

"That's good!" She said and got the basket then gave it to Ryoma.

Ryoma noticed the necklace.

"Is his name starts in letter R'?" He asked when he saw the pendant.

"No, that letter corresponds to the word Remember'. Coz, I want him to remember me if I came back here in Japan."

"And what is his name?"

"Makisig."

"Makisig?" He asked curiously.

It is a strange word for him.

"It's a Filipino word means 'Gorgeous' but since you will be his new master, I think his name must be Japanese too."

Ryoma looked at the kitten.

"Call him Karupin," the girl continues.

"Karupin?"

"That's my Grandfather's name."

"Okay, I'll call him Karupin… How about you? What is your name?"

"Janaiza Daniela, call me Jei-dy for short."

"Jei-dy…" he whispered.

Jei-dy paid attention to the kitten.

"Hey, Karupin, I will come back here… your new master is now my new friend, he will take care of you as the way I do. " She made a deep breath then looked straight to Ryoma. "Hope the three of us will see each other again…"

She paused for a while.

"Roses are red, chocolates are sweet. Tonight in my dreams, hope to be you and me," she murmured.

"And what is the meaning of that?"

"It is a magic spell. If you'll wish for something, you should recite it and your wish will come true."

"That's cool! Can I try it?"

"Of course you may."

"Bad luck will happen if one of us forgot this place," Ryoma said his spell.

"That's cruel!"

"I'm always cruel. I will assure that Karupin will always remember this place so that he may not have bad luck. And when you came back, I will bring back this necklace to you."

"Okay, then recite the magic spell," Jei-dy reminded.

"Roses are red, chocolates are sweet. Tonight in my dreams, hope to be you and me…" Ryoma recited the magic spell…

And because of those memories, the tears from his eyes fell down.

"It's better for me to not get close in anyone here in this world. I don't want to feel this feeling again…"

And then, he decided to be alone for the rest of his life…

Roses are red, chocolates are sweet. Tonight in my dreams, hope to be you and me…
