view more今日は私の誕生日だった。
手の込んだものではないけれど、彼の好きな料理を作ってテーブルに並べていた。 朝は何も言われなかったけれど、誕生日だから早めに仕事を切り上げて帰ってきてくれるはず。 そのとき、テーブルの上に置いたスマートフォンが小さく震える。 何気なく画面を覗き込むと、差出人不明のメッセージ通知。 開いてみると、一枚の写真が添付されていた。 「…なにこれ」 そこに写っていたのは、私の婚約者だった。そして彼の隣には、別の名家の令嬢。 ヨットの上で、二人はためらうことなく唇を重ねていた。 指先から力が抜け、スマートフォンを落としそうになる。 頭が真っ白になる。 信じたくない。信じられない。 けれど、写真は残酷なほど鮮明で、私の心を容赦なく切り裂いた。 私は震える手で電話をかける。 「…もしもし」 「もしもし。どちら様でしょうか?」 受話器の向こうから返ってきたのは、聞き慣れない女性の声だった。 私は確かに彼の番号を押したのに。 「……すみません。間違えました」 そう言って、私は慌てて電話を切った。 胸の奥に広がるのは、言いようのない不安と恐怖だった。写真に写っていた光景と、今の女の声が重なり合い、私の心を容赦なく締め付ける。 二年間、私は彼を信じ続けてきた。 「家の事情」や「家族の圧力」と言われて、婚約していることを周りに打ち明けられなくても、私の心が揺らぐことはなかった。 彼を信じることが、私にできる唯一の愛だったから。 それなのに。 夕暮れ時、玄関の扉が乱暴に開く音が響いた。 肩にかけたジャケットを雑にソファへ投げ、私の顔を見ても一言の挨拶すらない。 「…亮介。これ、どういうこと?」 そう言って写真を突きつけると、あっさりと浮気を認めたうえで言い放った。 「あぁ、俺の婚約者だよ」 その言葉を聞いた瞬間、胸の奥が冷たく凍りついた。 写真の中の光景はただの誤解であってほしいと願っていたのに、彼自身の口から肯定されることで、希望は無惨に打ち砕かれる。 私の存在は、彼にとって婚約者ではなかったのだと突きつけられ、足元の世界が崩れていく感覚に襲われる。 「婚約者…?じゃあ私は?」 自分でも情けないほど弱々しい問いかけだった。けれど、聞かずにはいられなかった。 二年間、彼を信じて待ち続けた私の立場は何だったのか。 「仕方ないだろ。親が勝手に結婚相手を決めたんだから」 仕方ない。その一言で、私との二年間を切り捨てるのか。 彼にとっては、親の決定がすべてで、私との時間はただの余白に過ぎなかったのだろう。 「どうして……私じゃだめなの?」 涙に濡れた声で問い詰めると、彼は冷酷に私の頬を打った。 「まさか、本気で俺と結婚できると思っていたのか?何もないお前が、俺と…?はっ。身の程知らずにも程がある」 頬の痛みよりも、心の奥に突き刺さるその言葉が、私を深い絶望へと突き落とした。 二年間、信じて待ち続けた日々が一瞬で嘲笑に変わった。 涙がこぼれそうになるのを必死に堪えながら、私は自分に問いかける。 「……じゃあ、私との二年間は何だったの?」 胸の奥から言葉がこぼれ落ちる。 医療研究の仕事に苦しんでいたあの頃、彼は優しく囁いた。 "仕事なんて無理して続けなくていい。それより、ずっと俺のそばにいてよ" あのときは、私を思っての言葉だと信じていた。 でも、それは愛からの言葉じゃなかった。 気づけば、仕事も居場所も失い、今の私は何も持っていない。 彼だけが支えだと思っていたのに、その支えすら幻だったのだ。 「思い出してみろよ。俺が本気で未来を語ったことなんて、一度でもあったか?」 確かに、彼は未来を具体的に語ったことはなかった。けれど私は、彼の曖昧な言葉や優しい仕草を未来への約束だと信じていた。 「私は…言葉がなくても、隣にいてくれるだけで未来を信じられた」 信じたいから、信じてしまった。 二年間のすべてを、彼の一言一言に縋って生きてきた。 「未来を信じる?お前が勝手に夢見てただけだ」 「私は本気であなたを愛してた。あなたも、同じ気持ちだったと思ってたのに」 私が辛くて泣いていた夜、彼は黙って隣に座り、背中を撫でてくれた。その温もりに救われ、孤独から解放された。 過ぎ去った瞬間にすぎないけれど、確かに愛はあった。 「まさか。ただの遊びだよ。お前は俺の退屈を紛らわせてくれただけだ」 涙が頬を伝うが、必死に声を絞り出す。 「……あなたを信じていたのに」 未来が、音を立てて崩れていく。Adorned in high class luxury branded accessories worth the amount of money that Alicia could only see in hospital bills. She gentle touches the diamond earrings then the pendant on her, slightly afraid of breaking it, although she is getting paid by Bianca to dress like a rich man’s daughter, actually wearing the expensive items to look the part makes Alicia to be sensitively conscious about the price tag. However, Bianca already told her to not to be afraid to destroy some especially when necessary after all, the most important thing right now is to successfully fool everyone in the party that she is Bianca Ada. This evening is Alicia’s test after weeks of learning who and how to be Bianca. Tonight’s rich people party is the kind of party that the real Bianca rarely attends thus, not everyone can act friendly towards her thus, this party was deemed as a perfect test. The party was arranged with gossip as its main objective. Bianca, as an individual, has never been tangled up in any
“Are you eating well? I think you’re skinnier than the last time you visited.” A frail woman asked as she is brushing her daughter’s long raven hair. She is apologetic how her daughter is overworking for her sake. She had done everything she could to help and every form of help she offers to her daughter was turned down. She is used to the stubbornness of her daughter and she never won against her, not even once.“I’m not starving myself, there’s that.” Alicia replied to her mother. Elise, the mother, is not the nagging type because she knows that Alicia is capable of knowing what is right from wrong thus the silence that follows is actually her waiting for her daughter to tell her reasons or excuses which she predicts that it will end with a sincere apology. “I will try to watch for my diet, I promise you that.” Elise just nodded at her daughter with a hum. Alicia was fidgeting her fingers since she arrived. She brought an enveloped with her, she placed it on the table when she came
2 year ago… A girl wore her apron that was a part of her uniform as a cashier at a convenience store. A waitress in the morning, a cashier at night and a cleaner on the weekends. She’s juggling three minimum waged jobs for her mother’s hospital bill. She often thinks of how her life would have been right now if she continued college. If her mother’s health had not decline eight years ago, she would have been busy studying for the bar exam or perhaps she already passed the exam, but all that thought probably will only ever be a reality in an alternative universe. Even though she often daydreams about that thought, she never blame her mother. She was raised by a single mother and loved her very much because she witnessed the sacrifices and love her mother gave for raising her. She’s willing to sacrifice herself as much as her mother would do for her. “Alicia, are you done?” A co-worker asked. The girl then, went to the counter to take over. Her co-worker thanked her and wished her well
"I feel like Snow White in this." Bianca stated as she was sitting in a big log prop as she's being surrounded by deers and rabbits. She's already in a casual attire that they bought right after they finish eating at the restaurant. Chase is standing behind a professional photographer he called after their lunch."Sorry for requesting such a ridiculous request but also thank you so much for complying to it. Because you do remind me of Snow White." Chase apologize but he did not feel any form of regret for asking such request. He really thought that Bianca would turn it down but he is having so much fun right now that he get to make his imagination earlier into a reality. He even get to capture the sight, immortalizing it through photos."What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not even that white." Bianca pointed out, she checked herself out if she really does resemble the popular fictional princess but no matter how much she thinks about it, she just cannot see it."You may not be a
