If he follows that logic, then it might be Julia and Matsuo is not united in their cause and they both did not share the same plans and aspirations.There are too many things that could be inferred from that one move. He clams himself down and then he sighed loudly, his sigh echoes all over his Heaven
He then added
"She and Matsuo had a complicated past. He was always arrogant and she was his foil"
"What do you mean?" Keiko ask, her eyes narrowed.
"I mean there might be that meet the eyes. Julia might not have betrayed me. Now, I see more clearly than ever and my eyes could see everything. But this matter is still as obscure as it did for me so many years ago."
And he sighed again. Today it seems to be a day for sighing. He had too many regrets thus when he thinks of the past, he would always sigh.
A lifetime relations.h.i.+p was forged that day under that peach tree blossom. He could still hear the background noise of Tokyo University when he met her.
He was shy and she was a transfer student from America. In his dream, there is always her. There are wound and there is pain, in the end they walk separate ways.
Those days will not return and probably because of that he keeps sighing when thinking about the past.
Because he knows it would not come again
Keiko then hesitantly ask
"Didn"t you and Julia have a thing?" Hearing this Takas.h.i.+ smiles and chuckles like he had remembered something very funny.
He then looks at Keiko and while she tries to maintain a neutral face expression, she is failing at that
"What? Are you jealous?" He asks, smiling looking at Keiko blus.h.i.+ng face.
He then looks toward the distance, seeing the paradise like scenery of his Heaven, full of vast lands that have bountiful harvest and large trees the size of mountains and seas as vast as the galaxy and sighed.
It is all a matter of the past.
"She is an enigmatic woman…. that woman is one of a kind. She always have been and always will be. I admire her from the bottom of my heart" hearing this compliment of a woman Keiko had always regarded as rivals, Keiko tried to hide her pouting.
But nothing escapes the eyes of the First Lord of Heaven.
In the real world, he always excels in science and those studies that most people would and could never understand but even for him, he could never see human hearts.
He was not adept at it and ignorant at it. But here, in this world that he had created with his friends, he was the Supreme Primeval Lord of All.
He sees everything, hear everything and can do anything. Even now, the plots of Julia and Matsuo is halted because of the restriction he had put in place.
If they were as powerful as him, why would they bother to hide? Why would they even bother to disappear?
In this world, he had known the feeling that Keiko had for him and he teases her about it. They have spent probably a thousand years together.
In this world, his lifespan is limitless. Thus, he did not worry if he is to late or too fast. What is important was always intentions and desires.
He looks at Keiko and then said.
"She is one of a kind. But you…. you are different"
"How am I different?" he smiles and then he said
"You know I don"t know the right word to say and I am always lacking at that department. But we have spent so much time together. If you ask me how to describe what is different between you and her, I don"t really quite know how to verbalize it. I just know"
"What do you know?" she harrumphed, as she is ready to fly back to her Cloud Roiling Mountain.
She was about to fly out from the Heaven of All beginning but Takas.h.i.+ only breathes and the s.p.a.ce and the area around her distorts as she found out she was back at her original spot.
It was like she never take a step away. She glares at Takas.h.i.+ and cross her hand together.
"Humph"
Takas.h.i.+ only smiles and then he said
"I know that you are the one for me. She is one of a kind girl. But she was not the one for me. It was you. It was always you" And saying this he laughs and his happiness radiates from him.
Flowers grows and life grows, auspicious clouds fills his Heaven and divine beings were awakened and soars to the skies as the Heaven of All Beginning is slowly covered by a large amount of energy for them to absorb.
Takas.h.i.+ was a scientist first and foremost. And he did not start by becoming the world renowned scientist and genius, philanthropic tech mogul.
in his early years as a scientist, no one would acknowledge his research and his effort because of his tendency to go into the territory of fringe science.
He had never had lesson on how to tackle a woman or how to flirt. But in his life, he had four women that have shaped his life.
First was his grandmother in Osaka. Her death was what pushed him into science. Then his mother. Her support for him is what gave him a strong heart to persist in what he believes in.
Then there is Julia who had help him make his dream a reality. And…Keiko. The one who believe in his dream and was always there behind him.
It was because she was always there, that he could never recognize that feeling. But the moment that the thought of losing her enter his mind, he then knew that he could not bear losing her.
He is a scientist. And he likes fact. Fact of the matter he loves her and unlike some people who would hesitate and trying to find reason that the feeling in their heart is anything but, he accepted it
He loves that woman and that woman love him. Why would he make it hard for himself? But it was still hard for him to say these things
It was only now, that he could say these things. So even though he is still depressed a bit, he could not help but feeling relieved as he said the words that he does not know how to say before.
