when I saw you, did I fall for you?

Introduction

I am Haruto Watanabe, a computer programmer and an orphan.

My working place is far from the place I live, so I have to go by train to work

I was sitting on the window seat of the train viewing outside the window,

Suddenly I remembered something about four years ago,

Do you wanna know? ........... By the way I am not asking your opinion, so let me share it,

Here I start my story

About four years ago when I was 24, I had a friend, actually more than a friend, her name was Kauri Aoki, she was my only friend, we both promised each other that we'll marry each other, and live together.

I talked to her everyday, message her every minute.

But that time I needed a job,

I went to London for an appropriate job, although I didn't wanted to leave her.

But I promised her that I'll always be in contact with her, and she promised me too that she'll wait for me.

When I was looking for a job in London I message her every day, called her every time.

When I found a job of computer programmer, I message her that I was returning Japan next week,

But she didn't reply back, I called her many times but she didn't accept the call.

When I came back to Japan,

I immediately went to her house but It was locked,

I searched for her for two weeks,

But didn't found her,

But one day when I asked an elderly shopkeeper, she said "oh, you are talking about Kauri?"

"Yes, do you know her? Where is she?"

"Of course how would I not know about my niece"'s daughter, by the way she is engaged, and now she live at her parents house"

I was very shocked, I couldn't say a word

"By the way young man, if you don't have anything to say, May I go?" she left without waiting for my opinion,

I was very heartbroken.

I thought of going back to England,

Next day after staying a night in a hotel

I was walking to the airport with my broken heart, "walking" because the airport was close to the hotel.

There was a railway crossing, I was crossing it but I saw her, I saw Kauri, I was very astonished,

But she ignored me and started to cross,

I wanted to talk to her, but I didn't think she wanted to have conversation with me,

So I started to cross in silence,

Finally we were in the opposite sides of the road,

I turned back to see her for the last time, but she was already gone.

And it ended with a train crossing the road.

After that I returned to England and continued my job, you know I can't end my life because of what happened, I need to face it, we all need to face it.

And I am happy with my life, and also I am not alone now, I have a caring wife named Maryline Bailey and two daughters, Eva and Setsuko.

Although My story ends here, what's yours 😃
