Someone once said “You do not choose your fate for you are chosen by it.” Truthfully, I never cared about these words before. I never needed to. But after my view over the world and over my life changed, I started to wonder…1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMkBrg69Id

It was the first day of the summer break. After a long year of learning and working for my supposedly future, I really needed a break. My mood was exactly the opposite of the weather. However, it did feel nice: the heat on my skin, the freshness of the morning, all of these elements were enjoyable. The streets were befuddled with people who were definitely fast for their height. I was walking aimlessly through Tokyo. My thoughts were moving from one subject to another, ending with an inner battle. I was feeling empty which wasn’t exactly a characteristic of mine. Lately, I just started to wonder if my place was in Tokyo.1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMZjnXlVQE

Has it been my idea to finish a college in Japan? Was my dream to finish management and business? I did wonder. Have I been wasting precious time for nothing?1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsa7lirq0s

A small brunette sighed and placed her hands on the railing. The city was crowded on a daily basis yet that day was suffocating. Maybe it was because it was the beginning of summer; or maybe the sun got everyone wishing to spend the day outdoors. Who knew? There were children who were playing around; women trying to move through them; teenagers gossiping and there was even a clown!1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIvQuIwgwg

Overall, the view was marvelous. It was a pity for a photographer to dare miss such scenery. That wasn’t going to happen, though. A young and tall man took pictures of every detail; every group wandering around; every expression and every move. His eyes landed on foreigner woman leaning against the railing. He couldn’t stop himself from taking a picture of her. Her hair was loose and the tips were curled, maybe from humidity; her body was small but compared to Japanese women she was definitely more curved; her eyes were fixed on a spot, like she was longing for something that seemed out of reach. She looked beautiful.1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecoLPKtH2K

Without noticing, the man walked closer to her. He couldn’t resist the force that seemed to bring him closer. He was intrigued and he wanted to see her up close. To look manlier, he took another picture of her. He had his camera in front of his eyes and was very concentrated. He didn’t realize that she turned her head and noticed him. He got perplexed when his objective met a pair of beautiful green eyes.1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8uQoiGotJ

Since she was a foreigner, he thought she wouldn’t know Japanese so he excused himself in broken English. She ignored him. She wasn’t preoccupied at all by his presence. She turned into the same position he had found her in and started to act as if he wasn’t even there.1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkyhLKS2E6

He sighed. He mirrored her movements and shifted his attention on the view. The water was calm and clear. There were fishes swimming here and there. He could actually see the path they were going on. He grabbed his camera quickly and started to take pictures.1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HSteHKZx4

Sensing that she had been impolite, the woman turned her head towards him. She watched him closely. His face was contorting into different expressions depending on the shoot.1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXvIxEyMRW

“I’m fine with it.”He heard a soft voice mumble. 1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh9btfLrgN
1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqJicNSy5L
He stopped mid-action and glanced at her. He put his camera down and chuckled, almost nervously. He wasn’t actually expecting a response from her, to begin with.1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q7222Aody
1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMQ9CN8gCT
“About the pictures you took with me. I’m fine with it.” She repeated firmly. He nodded and smiled to himself. Somehow, he felt as if he should start a conversation. It was awkward.1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM6OgkxMDK

“Where-uh-from-“He was stuttering while trying to find the right translation. She raised an eyebrow.1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT42PAU5b5l
1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7IeAz4uPI
“Where am I from?” Her response was in Japanese. He stopped and laughed at his thoughts. How could he not think she might have known Japanese? “I’m from England but I’ve been in Tokyo for 3 years now.” She tilted her head to the side continued to stare at him closely. “Any more questions?” He sighed and brushed a hand through his hair.1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PHU1qpMpx

“You look ready to stretch your hand towards the horizon?” He wasn't sure of what he wanted to say. His question ran deeper than he intended, somehow. Her mood dropped from superiority to sorrowful. She sighed heavily and turned to look over the lake.1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBQ1566vJH

“I guess I am searching for something; maybe a reason;” She furrowed her eyebrows in frustration while he simply copied her actions. “Maybe answers.”1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mNMGs6AMN
1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoWYJx6LgX
“Answers to what?”1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeTUiAncTn
1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCrR8vQvUH
She sighed again and fully turned to him. She leaned against the bridge and bit her lip.1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArU3K9O2EX

“Life is quite long don’t you think?” Hearing such words, the poor man thought he might have started a conversation with a woman who wanted to commit suicide.1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uNnGdFYF6
1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvz68AbIfI
“There are people who would like to tell you otherwise.” She scoffed.1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OIK49b3M5
1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZa3jF92Dp
“You need a reason to live, right? But what happens when that reason changes? What if it wasn’t there to begin with?” That seemed to perplex him for a second.1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk24wfkWEDb

“I guess,” He trailed. “I always thought it’s better to follow the wind. Life is often misunderstood and when you get fed up with it you choose the easy way out.” She continued to watch him silently. His theory sounded quite philosophical and she was curious to hear it out. “I believe there’s also good in life. You can’t expect happiness to fall from the sky. You have to sweat for it.” He glanced at her from the corner of his eye. She seemed deep in thought; probably analyzing his words.1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXkGKZL70m
1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu53vOLAypB
“So,” He started. 1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR5HES28Mw
1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1p1z9ZlDV
He walked a little bit closer to her and smiled. She raised her head and looked into his eyes. It was hard to understand what was going through her head.1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzrDILZxtU
1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASfDtSGhDO
“What do you need to make you happy right now?” She blinked. When she realized what he asked, she opened her mouth yet no sound came out. She had no idea.1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqUnU8PMEg

He bit his lip and started to think about his next move. He caught sight of two people -two lovers- who were amused by the clown’s actions. He grabbed her hand and figured exactly where and how to plant a smile on her lips. Even if he didn’t know her, he didn’t care.1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCebi1MnDi
1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxRusm17c4
He was my wind.1357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LV7Vq1Br0
Against what he believed in, he was the happiness that just fell from the sky.
