2) Promise

14-Nenkan no Ai

(14 Years Love)

Ang                      : First, I was a very cheerful girl, I was very happy when people come near me. I

  know everybody who is near my house. I really like the music, I love to help mommy

  knit and clean the house, I'm very happy to be near mom with my brother. The

  more I matured I often spend my time browsing the internet, and my friend

  introduced me to type of music visual kei. I love it and continue to search for

  information about that type of music. Until I found a group called "The Gazette",

  I really liked them, especially the guitarists, Uruha. I love Uruha. And one day

  mom introduced me to a boy named Yuki, he is a mama's nephew, he was very kind

  to me and always accompanies me. Until one day my mother died of illness,

  people stay away, though slowly, but they really left me, except Yuki and my idol.

  Yuki stay with me, he always supported me, in any case. (Drink the beer and

  smoking)

Han                      : Yuki is a very nice person.

Aikyou                               : You said he's always with you. He's your boyfriend? Do he is not jealous

  of your character is really adore Uruha?

Ang                      : Hembh! He is very nice person! Yes, he is my boyfriend, he never jealous about

  what I’ve done. He actually helped me to collect all the objects associated with

  Uruha.

Jizen                    : That’s true?

Ang                      : Yes.

Jade                     : So, what happen then?

Ang                      : Coincidentally, he's birthday same with me. Then, we plan to celebrate with

  friends. Because he couldn’t drive a car, so I was driving. Somehow, then our car

  tires slipping and we hit a road divider. Yuki died instantly. People are getting

  away from me, I really do live alone. People thought that I was jinxed, I think,

  maybe my father hates me because he thought I was jinxed. So I stay away from

  the crowds, I hate people who are being friendly to me. I hate people who insult

  my mother, Yuki, and Uruha. From then on, I became very covered and hate to

  talk much to strangers.

Cleo                    : Your life is so hard.

Bella                    : So therefore you're act cold on people.

Ang                      : I guess so!

Jade                     : So you prefer to live alone and adore Uruha from afar.

Ang                      : So, so! Because too much hatred that people give to me. I chose to live alone. I

  prefer to dwell at home, not go to school, not playing, not having fun with others.

  My father forced me to home schooling. After some time, I went back to school.

  But I'm still a stranger to them. No one dared to approach me, they thought I was

  dangerous. The longer, the more I am convinced that I only have Uruha as best

  man. Only he who hears all my sorrows, well, you know, even if only a fans, it

  makes me love him. Our age within 14 years, though.

Aikyou                               : So you will still keep a sense of it?

Ang                      : Yes, I’ll!

Dey                      : Until when will you keep it?

Ang                      : Until later on, until the world really forgotten me.

Octa                    : You’re a taft girl.

Ang                      : You just say what you see. I just same like you!

All                         : . . .

Han                      : (Looking around and yawn) Hoahemh! Hah, doesn’t it’s too late?

Jade                     : Huh? (See the watch) yes, you right!

Koun                   : Octa, are you tired?

Octa                    : Uhm! Just a little!

Koun                   : If that so, let’s go to bed? Stay here tonight, tomorrow weekend, anyway.

Octa                    : Okay.

Koun                   : Let’s go, Cleo!

Cleo                    : Okay! Bye all sister and brother!

Jade                     : Bye! Okay, I’ll clear up this all. Somebody help me!

Dey                      : Okay, Bella, Jizen and Aikyou. Come help us!

All                         : Okay.

Ang                      : (Go into car) Huh, I love starry night! (See the sky through the windshield)

Han                      : (Sit on the ground and rested his head on the car door) its so happiness day!

Ang                      : I think so! (Wear a headset and play songs from The Gazette)

Aikyou                               : (Looking Ang and approach her) Hi!

Ang                      : Hi!

Aikyou                               : May I in?

Ang                      : Yes.

Aikyou                               : Ang, can I talk to you?

Ang                      : Yes, what is it? (Closed her eyes and enjoy the music that she plays)

Aikyou                               : Ang, in fact I like you. From the first moment I saw you. This may be too fast for

  you, but I really feel it. I hope my words not change anything. (See towards Ang)

Ang                      : . . . (Asleep)

Han                      : (Shocked and think) what did he does? So stupid!

Aiokyou            : Hah? Ang, you sleep? (Stroking Ang hairs)

Ang                      : No! (Open her eyes slowly)

Han                      : So you just pretend?

Ang                      : What did you expect?

Han                      : Why not you listen to Aikyou words?

Ang                      : You know? I really hate to talk about feelings. Because I'll just keep my feelings

  to 4 things!

Han                      : 4 things?

Ang                      : My mom, Yuki, Uruha, and my best friends!

Han                      : Aikyou not be your best friend?

Ang                      : He just knows me! I don’t like people who give the impression of cheapo!

Han                      : Ah! I got it! But, why not you tell him about it? I think it will make him understand.

Ang                      : He will know with his own way!

Han                      : Okay. Let’s go. (Go into house)

Dey                      : Hey, where have you been? You run away so don’t have clean up all this?

Han                      : I've just been out to buy milk, I met a girl, and I get her phone number! (Laugh)

Bella                    : Really? (Leery)

  beautiful as Uruha's face!

Han                      : Ohm! So, so!

Ang                      : Hey Han! Did you also have a love like that I feel?

Han                      : Huh? Loves? (Stared Ang)

Ang                      : Yap! You know. There are many things that can describe the love!

Han                      : Oh! (Looked up) so, what makes you so love Uruha?

Ang                      : I don’t know. I think his smile that makes me fallen in love to him. But, you know,

  when you believe in something, it also comes a sense of doubt annoying. As I'm

  sure that he is the one that I love, a sense of hesitation comes. Make me think to

  forget it. When I tried to forget, that just made his smile embedded in my mind.

  Every time I see his happiness smile. As if. . .

Dey                      : Aikyou! You hear that? I think you can’t get her as your girl!

Aikyou                               : Its make me hard!

Octa                    : Koun! I think you had a great sister!

Cleo                    : I really want to be like her.

Koun                   : . . . her life is so hard!

Jizen                    : It is okay, Bella?

Bella                    : Yes! I think Han can make her feel better.

Han                      : As if?

Ang                      : Somehow. You know. Ah! Do you have something you really watch because you

  feel it is very important in your life and are very difficult to forget?

Han                      : Yes, I’ve

Ang                      : Such is. I felt an Uruha smile is a treasure in my life. When everyone is leave me,

  just his smile that first I see when I open my eyes in the morning, and also to

  accompany me and led me to get a nice dream. You know, he was key in my life to

  live my every weigh day.

Han                      : Then, you believed that just he who can make you smile and strong, right?

Ang                      :  Yes, I think so.

All                         : . . .

Ang                      : You see! I’m a girl. But, I can’t be a good girl.

Octa                    : Ah? Why you ask like that? I am not prettier than you. You know, you have a

  much beauty upon me.

Ang                      : I never able to be nice. I’m roughly. I even rude and arrogant! You know, I really
