CHAPTER 15: THE CONFESSION OF THE BEST FRIEND
The Secret
Yamaa Tomohisa had been running on the treadmill for almost 40 minutes right now. Somehow, it did not satisfy himself and purged the unwanted memory that had being stored inside his head. Pressing the stop button, he slowed down his run and inhaled fresh air as much as possible. Walking down from the treadmill, he went to his bag and carried it on his shoulders. His strolled to the exit and walked to the VVIP section to take a rest. As he scanned through the room, he spot an empty space at the corner of the room, and it next to the window.Good!Since he did not have to deal with the any distraction for a while. As he slumped onto the chair, he took a water bottle and started to drink from it.
“Because I love her!!” The words keep ringing in his head since last two weeks. Damn!! He hated to admit it, but the words that Toma blurted out in his apartment gave a strong impact on him. Nope...more like a punch to his stomach. Yamapi sighed deeply as he put his drinks on the table. He had been trying to forget everything that happened between him and Toma. But those memory kept tailing him from behind. The memory of the night playing inside his head once again.
“Because I love her!” Yamapi stared at Toma for a long time after he heard the confession. Then he laughed out loud.
“ What do you mean by you love her? Are you drunk, Toma?” he stopped for while before halted again.
“ Maybe because you are eating too much ramen that made you said those silly words!” said Yamapi while laughing. But somehow, his laugh did not reach his eyes and it was kinda bitter laugh. Whereas, Toma remained silent. His bestfriend’ s reaction made him clenched his fist till it made his knuckles turn into white. Then the laugh stopped, and Yamapi look at Toma who was glaring at him. His heart pounded fast than usual.
“ You don’t mean that Toma, do you?” asked Yamapi again to confirm everything. This time, his breath ragged and uneven. Toma nodded softly.
“ I do. I do love her Pi. Love her with all my heart.” Confessed the brown hair man.
As if he was being poured by a bucket of ice, Yamapis’ heart sank hearing to the Toma’s confession. He slumped on the chair unable to support his weight. Toma just closed his eyes. He did not mean to do this, but seriously, he could not take this any longer. He could not hold anymore patience. They did not know for how long that they let silence filled in the space between the two of them.
“ Since when?” Yamapi’s voice broken the silence. His eyes stared at the floor. Toma gulped and started to talk.
“ Since four years ago.” replied Toma shortly. Yamapi shot Toma with a shock look.
“ Don’t you say it..”
“ Yes, it started from Hana Kimi.” Yamapi’s hands trembles hearing this. It was during his relationship with Maki. Toma looked at the tall man who was sitting next to him.
“At first I thought it was just a simple feeling Pi. Like puppy love.Maybe it was influenced by my characters in hana kimi.” Confessed Toma. His voice is calm and he looked more focus.
“But as I spent more times with her, the feeling grows and it is very difficult to control it. Even her smile could make my heart melt. If I could not see her, it was like my life is over Pi. I felt like a crazy man ,” said Toma while putting his hand on his heart. His heart beat faster as he talked about Maki. Yamapi ran his fingers through his hair, wishing that it would reduce the headache that started to form in his head.
“ Why..why you never tell me Toma?” whispered Yamapi softly. Toma chuckled hearing Yamapi’s question. Has his bestfriend senile already? Or is he got too shock with the news. He glanced at the man who wear the black t-shirt. Something on his face made Toma felt uneasy. The same feeling when he saw Maki and Yamapi together, when he was so much in love with her. Throwing out the thought, he continued his talk.
“ Baka! Why should I tell you when you are...you...you were madly in
