I am Anna, Anna Keith. Well, I am here in one of the favorite cities of mine Tokyo, City of lights. After three years, the city seems to have a lot of change, or maybe it isn't the city, it maybe because of the person who is missing, Alan Stone, the boy whom I wish who were here.
The first time I saw Alan was in the airport. He was wearing a tight jeans with a black t-shirt, I remember he had a crooked smile which could always lighten up people's mood. He was so cheerful and kind unlike me who couldn't even help my friend. No, don't ask me what happened to her, I'm not ready to share it yet, I couldn't help tears flowing from my cheeks when I think of her.
Now first I have to find a hotel I'm going to stay in. Mr.Brook let me come here before my colleagues.Oh, I forgot to say this Mr.Brook is the company manager, who is always grumpy and whiny, he is so stingy about spending the company money, it is so surprising that he let me come to Tokyo in advance in company's sponsor, I thought I was dreaming even until yesterday.Luckily I wasn't.
Walking in these pavements of airports brings back memories of us.I came here to find him, to bring back the magical spark, even thinking of it gives butterflies in my stomach. I can well imagine a brown haired 18 year old girl sitting in the waiting bench unhappy and depressed about something in her life who also had to go through next 24 hours waiting in the airport for her flight but little did she know she would wish the 24 hours lasted longer. That's me.
I took a taxi to Honeysuckle Hotel where I was going to for next few months.The drive wasn't long, I reached there soon. It was a suite room, very luxurious but I didn't feel like relaxing, I wanted to go out and explore, actually because it may have even a bit chance of bumping into him.
I wore my red jacket, locked my door to take a walk. I could feel a chilly breeze of early march morning brush across my face just like that day, 14th March, the day I would never forget, a lot happened that day. Speaking of it, will Alan remember me like I remember him. What should I say when I meet him?Will he be the same person I know? Even thinking of it makes my stomach twist.
Wait! Is that Alan? Its the same dark brown hair, a slim hot body...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So What happens next? Why does Anna doesn't want to say what happened to her best friend? Does Anna meet Alan now? What is the relationship between Alan and Anna? If it was love why did she leave him?
HOW IS THE STORY GUYS, IT IS MY FIRST TIME WRITING SO COMMENT BELOW, ANY SUGGESTION AND REVIEW IS WELCOME. PLEASE DO SHARE.
Is that Alan? I go over and tap his shoulder gently, my heartbeat is racing against my chest, a million thoughts goes through my head, a part of me was afraid to face him and the other part of couldn't wait to him, even the thought of that boy being him was making me so excited as well as nervous. He is turning around to see me. OH MY GODD! WAIT I'M NOT READY!
It is not him.Phew! But I must admit that I also wanted it to be him so badly. I was disappointed when it was not him. I need to find him but how? I don't have his address or his contact, all I know is his name and our memories. I've always wanted to come here and find him but when I'm here I'm completely clueless.
I don't know why but I feel like crying, something hurts from inside, I don't know what it is. I and him have been friends only for a day that is 24 hours to be exact but why do I cry for someone whom I known for little time.
I've to call Katie to tell I'm here\, she'd be worried-sick . *ringing*
Katie: Nana, Did you reach? are you safe? are you tired? head straight to the hotel and take rest, don't go roaming around. okay?
Anna: hey katty, enough of your 'mama rants'. I've reached safely. The weather here is really good so I came to take a walk. I wish you were here too.
Katie: It's been only 15 hours but I miss you already, Although I know I will be there in 20 days but I think these 20 days will be the longest twenty days of my life. I think I should come there in the next flight. What do you think?
Anna: Aww katty, If you were here we could explore 'adventures of Tokyo'. have fun together and also...
Katie: AND ALSO FIND THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE ALANN STONEE!!!
Anna:Ugh! I have told you this like billions of times. He and I are not and never were in love. I have just been with him only for a day, how could fall in love with an unknown person. Love develops with understanding. But it is true that I felt we had a magical connection with him which I never felt before and also I felt like we have known each other for a long time. I wouldn't even call it friendship let alone love.
Katie: okay okay Chill, I was just joking. And I know you are still not over Cedric. But don't worry you won't go through it alone, I will be there with you always.
Anna: Thanks kateyy but I am over Cedric.
Katie: I know but just to let you know In the background someone is calling katie and she shouts back COMING! okay sweetheart gotta go or you know how Mr.Brook throws tantrums if we are late. Talk to you later. muahh.
Anna: bye take care love ya.
I walk back to the hotel. I am really tired, I need to take rest. I went to the hotel and slept till next morning...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What happens next? who is Cedric? what is the job of Anna and Katie?
So how was this episode. Give your reviews in comment below.
**I was woke up by sun shining brightly. I block my against the sun ray and I take my phone to check the time, it was 9 a.m, 10th of March, Wednesday.I check my messages, emails and news. I've got few snaps from Katie who sent me the picture of Serah's newly dyed pink hair which looked absolutely hilarious, she is a bitch who always try outdoing and bring me down, not only that she lives to flatter and lick the feet of riches, That's why I and Katie hate her so much. I had a text from my mom and dad. I reply to them then get up to go have my breakfast in the restaurant of the hotel.My breakfast was an absolute delicacy, I had miso soup, steamed rice, natto, and seaweed salad.
While eating, I was thinking about where to search for him.
Well the first place he took me was Shibuya crossing, world's busiest crossing, before going there we went to a kimono shop and he got me an elegant light blue kimono and me to wear it. I went to try it in the trial room, the soft material of the dress brush across my skin, I finally managed to wear it, after a lot of struggle. When I came out, I could say that Alan could not stop staring at me, I could see his ears turn red, I could tell he was blushing. So to tease him I said stop drooling, your saliva is on the floor. He turned away quickly and stuttered you look beautiful but still cannot beat my idol.But his eyes ave him away.I smiled to myself and went to the cashier to pay but he wanted to pay, we had a quite an argument about who is going to pay then I let him.
I look down at the plate, I have already finished eating without even realizing I have sat here for an extra half an hour. But now I have a clear idea of where I'm going, of course Shibuya crossing. I hurry to my room to change. I wear the stripped red t- shirt and my favorite white skirt.**
I booked a cab and I am waiting at the lobby. A cute little girl approached while her parents were busy with something. She asked me "Onee-san, do you talk English? You look like an American too."I gave her a smile and replied" yes, sweetheart, what is your name?". She turned around as her parents were calling" Yua, don't disturb anyone, come back here!!". Before leaving she said " Onee-san, you look so pretty, get a boyfriend who cherishes you". She winked and left. Soon my cab arrived, I got in.
I got off the cab and walked to the middle of Shibuya crossing and just stood there still closing my eyes where a hundreds of people pass by me, just like last time.
When Alan and I got here last time, I was really going through a lot that time, that's why he brought me here, at first I didn't understand what is so special about here and what does it have to do with me being depressed. But then he asked me to look what I could see there I just said that there were a lot of people passing that was all. Then he said that was right but that was not the point. He took me to the middle of the street right where I am standing at the moment. He said that it was his one of the favorite place and he goes there whenever he feels down, he asked me to see around and said that as you could see, we all live in the same world but we do not share the same story nor the same lives but we always want it to be perfect when we see other's life but I say that perfection doesn't exist, it is just an illusion. So stressing over something is waste of time.
He pointed out a few people we saw some weren't rich,some weren't happy though they had money, some weren't worried about life and then we saw children who were orphans, then I know he was right. I wanted to do something for the orphan children, so we went to a toy shop and bought some toys and gave it to them, they were really happy and they were saying " Arigato gozaimasu Oneesan" which I presume is thank you. Somehow this incident and moment divert my thoughts from which I was stressed about. I wanted to have fun too. And I did.
I stood there still reminiscing all these.
