Today was Christmas day, the seventeenth Christmas in her life.
She looked at a paper bag in her hand. Inside Crimson. It was his favorite color, and she had chosen this
color for the paper and the gift in her hands. She had used a
whole arduous month to do it. She was not as good An euphoric smile was ornamented on her face, Chiharu hugged the paper bag as if she wanted to keep the gift, which was inside it, warmed. She giggled again when she thought what he would react if he received the gift. Would he be surprised? Would he like this gift? She stared up at the orange color that was blowing little by little over on the sky of the Christmas day. The whether was getting cold. Her cheeks were chilled. The
coat she was wearing could not keep her body warm. The wind caused
her body shiver every time it was in Why he was late? Chiharu thought, frowning. She looked at
her wristwatch, and realized that she had arrived to the park
before the appointed time almost an hour. It was She giggled to herself and then let out a soft mixed up with
a smile sigh. Today was the special day that she had decided
to tell him her feeling. She had been knowing him Chiharu paused as panic was creeping to her. What he would
do if she told him her feeling? Besides in these past few months,
they had nearly not met each other. He had It was like when she had given him a teddy bare when she had
been ten. The teddy bear's story that she had known it from Tomoyo--If
the person who you give your teddy She shook her head, throwing away the panic. She had decided
it. She better not to let any panic to discourage her. Chiharu
kept warn herself. She prayed to the God. "Hey, Chiharu!" The male voice interrupted her thought. With the call, Chiharu turned to the voice. She saw the boy
around her age was weaving his right hand, trotting to her, smiling
as he always did. He wore a jacket, had a "Yamazaki." Chiharu stood up. She felt her heart beat faster but sent a sweetened smile at the boy. "You came before me? I thought I'm on time." Yamazaki looked at his wristwatch. "I've just arrived little early," said Chiharu. "O! It's very strange to you to come so early. I know now, why today's extraordinary cold." "You're saying I'm always late?!" A wave of anger rushed to Chiharu. She strangled his neck--not too tight--and shook it. "A-ha-ha-ha." Yamazaki simply laugh. She was always fun to tease. By her fingers was touching the skin of his neck partially, Yamazaki could feel her little fingers was cold because of the cold weather. She was probably getting cold. Loosing her grip on his neck, Yamazaki picked his scarf out off his neck and put it around Chiharu's lithe neck. Her anger ceased with surprise. "It'll keep you warm." Yamazaki said with concern. "T-Thanks." Chiharu blushed and her eyes softened. He was always nice to her. Yamazaki detected the paper bag that was placing next to where Chiharu was standing. "Chiharu, that paper bag's yours? What's it?" He asked. <He noticed it! > Chiharu quickly wheeled around to
pick the paper bag and hugged it in her arms. She wanted the
gift to surprise him. It was not the time to open the Yamazaki looked at her with little confuse marked on his face, but at last he left it. If she did not want to tell him now, he would wait until she told him what that thing was. "It's time we should go. If we late, Tokyo tower'll probably be crowd. Ready to go?" He asked the girl. "Um." She nodded cheerfully, holding his left arms and walked by his side. Today Tokyo tower would open till the night, which was beyond
the everyday closed time. It was special for the Christmas. Up
there was the most famous and the best Walking along the street to the Tokyo tower, Chiharu could
see Christmas trees, Santa dolls, angel dolls, stars, colorful
ribbons and flowers decorated the shops along the She peered at Yamazaki, who was telling her about the story
of the big stars that was always embellished on the top of Christmas
trees, soil that was the best fitted for She leaned to the side of his arm she was holding, smiling
up at his as he did so. She was very happy whenever she was with
him. She knew it for the long time, till she Her eyes caught at a flower booth on the side of the way.
The pale light from the other shops bolstered up the flowers
in the booth to be more beautiful. She smiled at the Seeing Chiharu joyful smile to the flower booth, Yamazaki placed his free hand on Chiharu's hand that was holding his arm, bringing her back to the real world. "Wait here a sec," he said, gently unloosing his own self from her hand, and jogged to the flower booth. "Yamazaki, wait!" Puzzled Chiharu exclaimed. What he was up to? She thought. Chiharu saw he stood in front of the flower booth, handing
the seller something. The seller smiled and bowed to him, as
he jogged back to her. She could see he was "Here. It's for you." Yamazaki handed the rose to her. "Eh?" "You want it, didn't you?" "Oh, Yamazaki!" Chiharu could not help but giggled.
Yamazaki thought she wanted some flowers, and he actually had
brought it for her. She took the rose from him, Yamazaki smiled at her. "You know, about the history of a pink rose--" he began. "Yes, yes." Chiharu cut him off and dragged him to the way to the Tokyo tower. After they arrived up to the sight seeing point in the Tokyo
tower, there was crowded as Yamazaki had expected, but the view
up there was worth it. They could see Tokyo Chiharu was glad that she could come. It was great as her
had imaged, maybe more. And she was glad she could come here
with the boy, In spite of Yamazaki was Leaving the Tokyo tower, the couple went to have the dinner
at a caf? near the Tokyo tower. The caf? was the little one but
it was decorated nicely, suiting for teenager They spent some time a little while to stroll around, before they would decided it was time to go back to their home. They walked side by side along the way. Chiharu stopped walking when they arrived to the park, which Chiharu had been waiting for Yamazaki at the early evening. "Um? What's wrong?" Yamazaki asked. "I-I just want to drop by this park. Can we sit at that branch for while?" Chiharu pointed to a branch inside the park. Yamazaki posted his perplexing expression to her. "Okay," at last, he agreed. They went to sit on a branch. The weather was getting colder and colder. Chiharu hugged her paper bag tight when Yamazaki began to narrate her a story. "Do you know the history of--" "Yamazaki," She called his name tentatively, interrupting his story. Chiharu could hear the loud beating sound of her heart in her ears, and her face was blushing. "Yes?" "I-I had the very good time today. Thanks." "I'm glad you had the good time." She handed her paper bag to him, looked to the floor. She did not dare to look on his face. "Here." "Your paper bag?" Chiharu nodded, "it's your Christmas gift." "Thanks. Can I open it?" He asked, putting the gift
out of the paper bag and began to unwrap the gift. Opening the
gift, Yamazaki found a hand-knitted garment in his "I made it myself. Rika-chan tough me how to knit it." "It's almost unbelievable you can make this." He said haft-teased. "What do you mean?!" Another anger darted to her again. Why he had to spoil the good mood anyway? "Thanks Chiharu. I'll cherish this sweater." He said evenly but firm in his tone, smiling at her. Her anger was gone away. Her face was gleamed with happiness.
Today everything had been going well, very well. It would be
all right if she confessed her feeling to him, Chiharu's face turned to cherry-red again. Her heart beat loudly till she could feel thud inside her chest. "Y-Yamazaki." "What, Chiharu?" "I-I…" Chiharu faltered. Why it was hard this much? Chiharu tried to compose herself. She decided to say it. Said it! Yamazaki merely smiled to her, waiting patiently for her to say the sentence she was intending to say it. "I--" Chiharu tried to gather her courage for a
moment. Finally, she lifted her face up, and looked into his
curved-line eyes. "I love you, Yamazaki…" She
said it firmly. Her Yamazaki's mouth hung down. He took no reaction, only the silence he kept. To Chiharu, a minute of his silence, it was like a century.
Had she said something wrong? He just kept silence. He had never
been acted like this before… Or she should They were continuing in silence. Chiharu was waiting, and waiting…any of his reaction…..any. "A-ha!" Finally Yamazaki broke the silence, pounding his right fist to his left palm. A-ha? Chiharu was clicked back by his voice. She looked at
him with full of question. She was waiting for any of his reaction
but 'A-ha'? She had not expected this kind of "Do you know the tale of saying things in the night?
They said the person, who said things in night, especially in
Christmas night, they would meet a fairy of Santa." He Chiharu stared at Yamazaki, who was narrating the long story
of Santa in Columbia, blankly. Had he kept silence because of
he had been thinking about making his "Why you! You!" She throttled him and shook his
neck, choking off her overwhelmed emotion. She had tried so hard
to confess her feeling to him! But he-he! His reaction Finally, Chiharu let loose her dead grip from his neck. Her
version was blurred because water was starting to well up on
her eyes, she knew herself she was going to cry. "And do you know the tale of confession of feeling in the Christmas night?" Yamazaki continued. <What's the story maker'll say this time?! It's enough!
I don't want to hear such a thing again! > She was truthful
defeated, walking away from him. She was not in mood to "--They said if a girl confesses her feeling to a boy, who has the same feeling to her, in the Christmas night, he'll, at least for once in a year, say the truth to the girl." Chiharu stopped motionless. Her back was facing him. What had he said? She thought. Yamazaki walked to her. He looked at her eyes, standing a
little distance away from each other, so she could see his face
clearly. The expression on his face was He picked out his handkerchief, using it to wipe tears from her face. Chiharu stared at Yamazaki blankly, partially because confusion was engulfed her, partially she was stunned by what he had just said. He dig into his brown knapsack he had been carried with him all the day. He picked out a thing that was wrapped by a paper color that was her favorite color, yellow. "It's your Christmas gift," said Yamazaki, handing the gift to her. Chiharu received the gift from him. "T-Thanks." "You can open it." "Um," she nodded. Chiharu slowly removed the wrapping paper, exposing the gift
inside. It was an old hand-made teddy bear. The teddy bear seemed
to be done for very long time, but the "What you'll name this teddy bear?" he asked her quietly. "Y-Yamazaki?" She uttered, looking at him with surprise of receiving the teddy bear. He smiled at her. "I knew from Daidouji-san for a long
time the true meaning of the teddy bear after the day I got 'Chiharu'
from you, and I made this teddy bear. I wanted to <Have he just said after the day he got 'Chiharu' from me? > She wondered, it was only one way to clear her wonderment. "Yamazaki?" "Yes?" "Did you name the teddy bear I gave you at that time 'Chiharu'? Not 'Suama'?" Yamazaki rose his eyebrows, "Did I had ever name the teddy bear you gave me 'Suama'? Not 'Chiharu'?" "Yes, you did." She declared. "Eh? Did I? I did not remember I named the teddy bear 'Suama'," he said as the matter of the fact. Chiharu's mouth hung down. <He seems really did not remember! What the-- > At the spun of the moment, She realized he had named the teddy
bear she had given him 'Chiharu.' Her face was softened when
she thought of the reason why he called Chiharu hugged the teddy bear in her arms to her chest, smiling. "This teddy bear's Takashi." Yamazaki smiled at the girl gladly. He pulled out a small box and handed to her. "Eh? Yamazaki, what's it?" She asked him curiously. He opened the small box. Inside, it was the platinum necklace. "In past months, I was doing part-time jobs, collecting money to buy it for you." Stunned Chiharu looked at him with wide eyes, while he was putting the necklace around her slim neck. "Y-Yamazaki?" Finishing put the necklace around her neck, he added, "Tonight's
Christmas. Chiharu, for once in a year, I'll say the truth. Chiharu,
I love you, for long time, till I can't Chiharu was shocked. He genuinely had said it. He had said he loved her. Tears of happiness fell down from her eyes uncontrollable,
as she did not bother to hold them back. She leaned to him and
hugged him tight, as he did so, candling her in "I love you, Yamazaki." "I love you too, Chiharu." With the moment, the couple could see the Christmas snow began
to fall down from the night sky. The pure white snow as if it
was the gift from the heaven to the earth "Merry Christmas, Chiharu," greeted Yamazaki. "Merry Christmas, Yamazaki." They giggled to each other, holding each other's hands and
walked side by side. Today was the beginning day of their good
days that they were going to spend together
