CHAPTER 2 : 私の名前は愛です
— Watashinonamaeha Aidesu —
“My Name Is Love”




“Where am I?
I am standing between the two lines
Hatred and anger
They both have conquered mine..”

It took an hour until he arrived at the airport. No matter what happened. Nobody can distract him again. Was that part of his confidence? No, it was not. It was part of his anger that took over himself. At the same time, the memories of Kimmy just came across his mind. Of course, it added insult to his injury. He began to hold his breath and questioned himself whether it was a good decision or not. More he thought, more he doubted himself.

“I have to go now before someone stop me!”

He forced himself to walk faster but he stared at nothing. Then, BAM!
Someone bumped on him and his ticket was slipped and switched with someone's. It seemed that he was not the only one who was in a rush. However, he just let the chips fall where they may. He did not chase him.

“Japan, eh? The cherry blossom country.”

- THE NEXT DAY -

            That day was winter when Zavian arrived in Japan. Fortunately, it was not his first time. He had gone to Japan with his parent long time before. So, he would not get lost by himself.

“Mm..hm.. I miss Kyoto already..”

            Kyoto was the name of capital city in Japan. Zavian’s parent died at Kyoto when he was about 17 years old. Kyoto, the heart of Japan has become the center of Zavian’s old memory either. He remembered how happy he was when he visited Kyoto. Suddenly, Zavian was grinning from ear to ear, he did not know whether it was a happy smile or smile of sorrow.

“Egao kanashimi ka no..?”
(smile of sorrow, wasn’t it?)

            Out of nowhere, a beautiful girl who was wearing a glamorous dress just appeared beside him and reading his mind. She knew what was on Zavian’s mind. Those words were succesfully made Zavian turned his face on her and they began to stare at each other like they have met before.

“This atmosphere, this warm and this comfort feeling reminds me to my parents.”

            For the first time, Zavian was feeling comfortable standing beside her. He forgot what was happened to him and acted like nothing had happened in his life. Zavian was afraid that he would fall in love again. He had made promise before that he would not believe love anymore. However, this time, the power of love grew bigger than Zavian’s determination and made Zavian could not fight it back.

“What’s your name?”, Zavian asked to her with a deep-looking face.
 “My name is Love”, Vallena replied to Zavian.
 “Love?”, Zavian remained asking to convince himself.
 “Yes. Vallena Loveably Audy”, she replied with all of her confident.

—                          
“Onamaehanandesuka?”
“Watashinonamaeha aidesu..”
Ai?”

“Hai. Vallena Loveably Audy-desu”
—                          

Hearing her name, Zavian wondered about that. He could not understand what was going on. As soon as he realized, when he just began to believe in love for once again, Love was not standing there anymore.

“Was it a girl? an Angel? or my stupid imagination?”, Zavian asked himself.

  2. Vallena Loveably? what a cute name! hahahah
    Just slight mistake you made such as you forgot to write 'the' in the sentence "More he thought, more he doubt" it's suppose to be a comparison,right? It would be proper if you add 'the' before the word 'more'
    Anyway , good story and I always want to go to Japan especially when all of the sakura flowers blossom.

  3. That's what I thought!

    I was in doubt, btw. I heard some dialogues on TV, the narrator did not mention "the" as part of the comparison. Therefore, I did not include it.
