Are we meant to be?

James' POV

As I look at Y.Corp., I can't stop looking in awe at the building. It's actually the first time that I saw it. I stood infront of the double glass doors that are widely open. I timidly walk inside. I can't help but feel like an outcast, amongst the designer dresses and suits to my ripped jeans and sweatshirt. I walk to the reception.

"Good Morning. How can I be of service?" The lady behind the desk asked. I look down at her name plate. "Harnington" was boldly written.

"Ummmm....I just want to ask where Mr. Heart has been transferred?" I asked.

"Why? Are you a relative of his?" She asked.

"Uh...no. But I am close friends with his daughter" I said.

"Oh, you must be James. I'm sorry, but I can't.  I have been given strict orders to not tell you." She said giving me an apologetic look.

"Please, I need to know where they are. Please, I beg you." I pleaded.

"I'm sorry. But no means no." She said

"Please. I..." c'mon you coward. Say it!

"I Love Her"

She looked at me with a shocked face. But it immediately softened.

"Ugh....fine. I'll tell you. But promise me you won't tell them that I told you".

"I promise"

"Mr. Heart was transferred to a permanent post in Japan. So he made a decision to enroll his kids to T University. Their staying at Tokyo, Japan." She informed.

"Do you happen to know any way to contact them?"

"That's all I know"

"Thank you so much. This really means a lot"

"Miss Heart sure is lucky. Don't ever let go of the person you love. It's a mistake that can haunt you forever."

"Don't worry, I won't".

I walk out of the building and took a bus home.

I plopped down on my bed and started thinking. I need to ask my parents for permission. Plus my studies, how am I supposed to go to Japan without knowing how to speak their language. I an totally out of Melanie's league.

I took a shower and got dressed in my basketball shorts and a white t-shirt. I went to my father's study and knocked on the door.

"Come in"

I went inside and saw him typing something on his laptop, by the way his eyebrows crease together I knew immediately that it was something important. Here goes...

"Hey dad, can I ask you something?"

He looked up from his laptop and turned to me.

"What is it son?"

"I know this may seem stupid but...  " I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat.

"May I please go to Japan?"

Okay this weird. The room is so silent that you can only the ticking of the clock.

"Uh dad?"

"Okay. You can go"

"Look dad I know that- what?"

"I said, you can go"

Oookay, I guess it went well.

"Thanks dad" I said giving him a fist bump. I immediately went back to my room.

No matter how hard this journey will be, I'll do it.

This is for her after all.
