I MISS YOU

The thunder and rain wake him up from his deep slumber. Haruto is looking all around the room as if he is searching for something. But to be exact, he is searching for someone. He is still looking all around his room until the thunder strikes again. The thunder awakens him from his crazy mind and pulls him back into reality.

“She’s not here anymore, Haruto. Get a grip of yourself.” Haruto covers his face with his hand.

He’s trying to sleep again, but he can’t. Koyomi keeps filling his thought.

Haruto goes downstairs and sits on the chair. Maybe because of thunder, he can’t sleep as it reminds him of her. A lot.

“Haruto!” Koyomi entered his room in a rush while he was sleeping on a raining night one day.

“Koyomi?” Haruto rubbed his eyes.

She looked scared.

“What’s wrong? Do you need mana?”

Koyomi shook her head.

“Then, what’s wrong?”

Out of the blue, the thunder struck twice. Koyomi spontaneously grabbed Haruto’s arm and hold onto him.

Haruto smiled slightly as he understood the reason why she came into his room. Upon realizing that she was holding Haruto’s hand, she immediately let it off.

“I’m sorry. It’s just…” As usual, Koyomi apologized as she thought she burdened him more with her fear of the thunder.

“It’s okay.” Haruto assured her that he was fine with it.

The thunder struck again. Koyomi once again held his arm, but more firmly. Koyomi let off his hand once again once the thunder stopped.

“Sorry, Haruto. You can go to sleep again.”

She was about to leave until Haruto stopped her.

“Wait, Koyomi!”

He got off from the bed and went to get a chair; put it nearby his bed. He made a sign for Koyomi to sit on the chair and she just did as she’s been told.

Haruto lied down on his bed.

“Give me your hand.”

Koyomi was confused but she still followed what Haruto said.

“You don’t need to be scared anymore. I’m here.” Haruto tightly gripped her hand.

Her fear disappeared a bit. She also tightly gripped his hand.

“I’m going to sleep now.” Haruto told her.

Koyomi just nodded. Haruto still didn’t let off his hand. Before continued to nap, he reminded her.

“Next time; if you are afraid again, come here. I’ll lend you my hand.” Haruto said with a smile.

Koyomi nodded once again and smiled to him.

Ever since then, Koyomi stayed besides Haruto whenever the thunder struck. Haruto freely lent his hand to Koyomi so that she didn’t get scared anymore. He didn’t think that as a burden; in fact, he was glad to be able to do so.

Wajima goes downstairs as he also can’t sleep because of the thunder. Furthermore, he got inspiration to make a new Ring for Haruto. Upon going down, he sees Haruto sits in the dark. He is in deep thought.

He turns on the lamp.

“Can’t sleep?”

“Oc-chan…” Wajima’s question stops his daydream.

“Mmm...” Haruto nods.

Wajima gets to his workspace and starts to make the preparation for his work. He glances towards Haruto once in a while. Both keep silence. Wajima carries on with his work while Haruto is still in his deep on Koyomi.

“Oc-chan...” Haruto calls Wajima after a long silence.

“What is it?”

Haruto still keeps silence. He is in hesitation either to tell him or not. Wajima on the other hand is just waiting for Haruto to spill everything out.

“I…”

The thunder strikes.

“I miss her.” Haruto finally said the words.

There is no reaction coming out from Wajima except he stops his work and focus on Haruto. He has already expected this thing will occur somehow, someway and someday. It seems that today is the day; because of the thunder.

“Really…Really miss her.” Haruto feels like crying right now.

How long has he been longing to see her? How long has he been holding back his feelings? How long has he has been crying over her death? How many times has he been dreaming about her at night? How many times has he been calling her in his sleep? How many times has his heart in pain because of her? Did he feel lonely without her? Did he regret for not saving her rather than saving her soul?

All these thought surround him at once.

“I- I know that she’s gone, but still…”

Wajima is still listening.

“I really want to see her. Right now, I really want to see her. I want to see her smile, her face. I truly miss her.”

Haruto doesn’t mind anymore. Wajima knew how much Koyomi means to him. Futhermore, Wajima is the only one he can tell about his feelings?

“Just now, I was frantically searching for her. She wasn’t besides me and didn’t hold my hand. I even thought that she must have been afraid all alone in her room because of the thunder.”

“Haruto…” Wajima knew that Haruto is in pain, but he didn’t think that Haruto is in that much agony.

“Oc-chan…” Haruto looks at Wajima with doleful eyes.

“Is there any way for me to see her again? I really want to see her.”

The painful expression on Haruto’s face pains Wajima too. He wonders how much more this young man has to suffer. After the Sabbath, Koyomi is the one who indirectly keeps giving him the strength to live and to fight off the Phantom. He almost lost his hope after losing Koyomi. Luckily everyone was with him and kept supporting him.

Wajima approaches Haruto.

“I can’t answer that, Haruto. But, you have to be strong so that Koyomi can rest in peace.”

“Mmm.” Haruto nods.

The words still have not erase his wish to see her, but at least; at the very least, it gives him a tiny strength to keep breathing and holding on.

“You should go to sleep. The rain has stopped.” Wajima puts his hand on Haruto’s shoulder.

He then leave and goes upstairs to sleep. The new Ring can be finished tomorrow. Haruto takes a deep breath before deciding to listen to Wajima to take a rest. He stops at the stairs and looks at the Koyomi’s crystal ball sadly.

“The past six months were really painful for me, Koyomi. No matter what, I truly want to see you. I miss you so much.”

“I miss you, Koyomi.”

The words echo in his heart.

Haruto looks sadly at the corner of the shop once again before going upstairs to go to sleep. That is if and only if he can.
