(^,^)

#Author’s POV

The sun above Tokyo sky began to slide to the west. Not for long time the day would show its dark side. People were busy to walk in hurry just like in race for arriving home after whole-day activity in office.

Among the passing people, exactly on Inari Bridge that passed Shibuya River, there was a little girl – about four years old, sat while folding her knees until reach her chin. Her hand hugged her legs. That girl cried and looking at the people with worrying sight. Occasionally, her little hand wiped the snot from her nose. No one looked at her – because they were too busy with their own business.

That little girl still cried and her crying almost going to explode because the day had been already dark. The thunder kept striking and the lightning on the sky made that girl more frightened.

Tik~

A drop of water fell on Ashida (that girl’s name)’s nose. Rain…

Ashida was just going to loud her crying volume when a seventeen years old man suddenly squatted in front of her.

“Daijoubu desuka, little girl? Are you getting lost?” asked the man.

He looked like a kind man, Ashida thought. So she decided to answer the man whose brown hair.

“Un,” Ashida nodded. “I can not go home,” Ashida soft voice.

“Where is your house?”

Ashida shook her head, “I don’t know. I even don’t know what place it is,”

“Hmm… Can you remember something that related to your house? Something like address, maybe?”

The little girl shook her head again.

Rain drops falling from the sky began to be heavy. The man who squatted and tried to get information about the little girl immediately stood and put off his black jacket. He covered Ashida with his jacket and instructed Ashida to follow him. Ashida followed the man that the body was not too tall and stopped in front of the café not distance from their place before.

“Well, because it is going to dark, and the rain become heavier, I will walk you home. Your mother must be worried,” offered that sharp nose man. Ashida kept silent – doubt.

“Do you know where my house is, Oniisan?”

“Of course I don’t know. But I will get to know,” answer the man without doubting while smiling. A second later he took outside a folding umbrella from his bag. “Wear that jacket,” he instructed Ashida. Ashida obeyed him again. She had no choice except obeying what the man said. 

“You are not allowed to talk with the stranger,”

The advice from her mother running again in Ashida’s mind. But, if like that, she could not go home. Ashida just hoping that the man would walk her home – safely.

“Get on,” suddenly the man was squatting again in front of Ashida.

“Eh,” Ashida did not do that at first. She looked doubt again.

“Come on, get on my back so I can walk you home,”

Finally Ashida did it and got on to the man’s back. Carrying Shida on his back, the man who still wore school uniform went along the sidewalk around Shibuya crossroad. Ashida just thinking that the man with her was kind person. If not, how came he walked her home, carrying her at the back and held the umbrella and bag at the same time.

“Oh, little girl, who’s your name?”

“Mana Ashida,” Ashida answered without doubt.

“Ashida-san, I will walk along until you find the clue that directed to your house. I am sure that you will remind something, how is it?”

Although she was doubt, but Ashida said yes. She kept her arms bend around the unknown man’s neck. In a moment, she noticed a good smell – maybe perfume. Don’t know why, but Ashida felt comfort and safe with that man.

Approximately ten minutes since they walked, Ashida looked at something in corner of the street. “Oniisan,” Ashida shouted in sudden.

“Hai,” he answered. The man immediately stopped. “What’s up?”

“That’s” Ashida pointed at the neon box above the cookies shop. “That’s the cookies shop which I usually passed with Mom if I back from school,”

“Oh, really? So your house is in that way, right?” that kind man walked to the corner of the road and went along the sidewalk again in order the little girl could find another clue related to her house.

“Oniisan,” Ashida shouted again. “I think that building. Try to come closer to that building,”

“Ah, I see,”

After arrived in that building, Ashida stared at the surrounding. The dark night made her hard to recognize the surrounding. “Over there, Oniisan. That’s my house,” the little girl pointed at the cream modern-style building across the road.

“Ah, that’s good,” the man still keep Ashida at his back and directly crossed the road.

Is it a wonder or what, but the rain suddenly stopped when Ashida got off from the man’s back. She ran to the door. While someone opened the door so the lightening from the house shone the yard.

“Kaa-chan…” shouted Ashida. She hugged her mother.

“Na-chan… Kaa-chan was just going to looking for you. Where have you been?”

“Morisako-chan and the other asked me to play, but we were separated and I was getting lost. Fortunately, that brother help me to go home,” Ashida pointed at the man. The man smiled and bowed – greeting.

“Ah, arigatou…” Ashida’s mother bowed 45 degrees. That man just smiling and answered shortly, “Dou ita,”

After giving back the jacket, Ashida’s mother offered him to come in and warm his body because his clothes were almost 80 percent wet. He refused it anyway.

“Come in, Na-chan. Change your clothes, or you will catch a cold,” Ashida’s mother led her daughter to home.

“Eh, wait Kaa-chan,” Ashida turned around and called the man, “Oniisan!” the man turned around and gave a short answer, “Yes,”

“What’s your name?”

The man smiled and answered,

“Yamada Ryosuke desu,” then he returned around and continued his way.

Ashida kept looking at the man until he really lost in the dark. “Yamada Ryosuke-kun…” Ashida smiled.

“Someday, I wanna be your wife,” 

 (^,^)

I’m Standing on a bridge
I'm waitin in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound
Isn't anyone tryin to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
but I'm, I'm with you ...

=The End=
