- It is really cheesy a thing like that… - Catalina said while walking while looking to the giant picture covering the windows of the mall in which two persons were in front of a tree with some leaves falling around with their necks fused by a very large scarf.
-It’s not THAT cheesy, It is cute to me – answered Kazuki.
-Would you use a scarf for 2? – she asked.
-Mmm, maybe, with a good reason… I would use it.
-¿And what would that be?
-I don’t know… if I am really happy with that person around me, if I feel close to her, I would use it.
-Still think it’s cheesy. –said giving the last bit to a cake she had bought.
-You will never use one, won’t you?
-I gould hape… -said with still food in her mouth.
-Stop it, I hate when you do that, and I know your father does not do that as you says, anyway, why “would have”?, does that mean something changed your mind?
-Not really, it’s just the fact I am alone.
-Come one, don’t be such a dork, you are not alone.
-Mmm, I think you are right, to be bipolar guarantees me that I have myself too – said with a really joyful laugh.
-Stop being silly, I’m with you.
-I know I can trust you, tell you anything, and that you will help me with anything you can, but, still… -her words were stopped in time by her silence, Kazuki was not sure what to do, so he just said:
-Still…?
-Still… we are not that close anymore, since you are with her.
-But that does NOT mean I will leave you behind!, baka… -Kazuki said a little disappointed
-Would you let me finish? – Catalina looked at Kazuki assent. –I think you have understood by now what it involves to create bonds.
-It means to get closer to people. – that was his quick answer, as if it was something mechanic learnt by memory and not by conviction.
-And the more bonds you have… - said Catalina while laughing in a way for Kazuki to finish the sentence.
-…the more people you know and are close to you. – he completed, looking with interest where the talking was heading into.
-Ehh –Catalina made a sound like a videogame when you make a mistake. -Wrong answer, what do you wish for, Kazuki?
-You know what I wish. –Said roughly.
-Mmm, ok, you would anything to get them, I know – said nodding her head.- but now I ask, you would overcome any obstacle between you and your dreams, right?
-Of course, if not, then I would quit to any simple thing I put my effort into, what do you mean with this talk?
-Good answer again, but now, a not-so-easy question, if the obstacle were another person dream? – Catalina knew this kind of question was going to shock him.
-What?... I… I… - Kazuki looked down and it took him a while to make an answer. –you are mean, I wouldn’t crush another’s dream.
-But you just told me… -but was interrupted by him.
-Now you let me finish, I hate when you put me to answer questions you already know the answer and then use them against me –Kazuki remembered Catalina’s father always behaves that way every time he talks with him- If that’s the case, according to the person I would decide if crush his dream or not.
-Mmm, that’s better, my dreams involve to crush many other people dreams, that’s why I choose to be alone, if I’m not really involved with them, I won’t feel guilty about my way to get things. –Said she in a way it seems she didn’t have any feeling, but Kazuki knew when she lied, so he just went along with the idea.
-I don’t think your father share that idea; he would do exactly the opposite.
-I know, he has told me many times that, he says in that sense I’m just like my mother.
-Hey!, we have never talk about your… - But Kazuki’s words were suddenly interrupted by her.
-And I will prefer not to do it… returning to what we were talking about, I was about to tell you why I would not use a scarf for 2.
-Ok, hit it.
-Actually, nothing has happened to me to make such an stament, it’s more like a reminiscence of my father’s life story, though he doesn’t want me to do that, he says it would be a huge mistake.
-What happened to him?
-I don’t know when everything started; I just remembered he is really sad in all of my uncle birthdays.
-What would he be sad in such a day?
-Beats me, maybe it’s because we don’t see my father’s family a lot, they lived in Colombia, I’ve told you that, while he and I are here, though he never told me anything in detail about that specific story, what it’s very unusual in him; he gives a lot of details. –Kazuki smiled due to that reminds him his talks with Catalina’s father about Colombia or other stuff, he speaks a lot and give lot of details, even the ones he shouldn’t, but Kazuki thinks that was fun. -I think something important happened that day.
-When is your uncle birthday?
-March 29th, though I don’t have any clue, no one in my family knows anything about that day, well, I tell you his story, maybe you could learn one thing or two, but let’s go to a café or someplace else, I don’t like this park we’ve got into.
-Why not?, if I’m not wrong everybody love this park, they are really moved by Hachiko story.
-Exactly, that’s why I hate Hachiko.
-And that’s because…
-Just let’s go somewhere else, maybe you will find out why when I tell you everything I know.
-All right, it'll be interesting to hear your father’s story... Fernando's story...
To be continued.
