One always can commit errors. But how one can forget an error what has become part of your soul and mind?
"It's a pleasure to meet you miss..?"
"Nodoka. Nodoka Aoyama........."
I was a married man, who fled from his home, trying to collect my thoughts after an marital fight.
"That was a impressing demostration with the blade."
"Thanks, are you a kenjutsu practicant?"
"I can say what yes....."
At the start, was only the passion and dedication of her for the same art what i loved what called my attention........ but as the time passed i begun to see other traits in her soul what i loved.
"I always hold the family honor as a virtue."
"Yes, for why the Family's honor is the most important thing. Without that our life is pointless."
her lively attitude, her class and distinction and more than all, what made she a woman what i had begun to love was her absoute dedication to the honor. More than a word or precept, Honor was her life......and the ruin of our relation.
"I can't meet you more....."
"For why?"
"My clan has betrothed me to Genma Saotome."
I was with my soul broken then but then......
"Please stay with me this night!"
For why? you will marry soon......!
Please, i want to remember you, as the only man what i loved with all my soul.!!
and then i understood. Nodoka was obeying what her honor dictated....even if this decision was breaking her own heart.
I loved her that night. while i rested my eyes in her glorious body, i understood with shame what she was far stronger than me, for while she accepted her situation with stoicism and dignity, i fled like a coward from my own problems.
To the next day, while she was marrying a man called Genma Saotome, i aboarded my ship to return to my home.
in my homeworld my dear beings expected me with crying eyes and promises of reconciliation. I accepted them, for why i felt what they were sincere and my love for they burned bright in my heart.
But now i can't avoid to think about Nodoka. Is she happy? She loves me yet? she has children? that and another thousand questions will assault me for a long time
And who I'm....well I am.....
