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…1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ojB2WNPPi

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.1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAweT5zCLg

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?1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTXZYB4JLm

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!1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQclUA4oB2X

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.1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEFYSfp4yu

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.1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAhRBRmEHk

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.1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXQSVM1dSL

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.1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEHvVzYegX

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.1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oTsjPgY41

“I’m fine with it.”He heard a soft voice mumble. 1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgno4FbxZUL

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.1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLzHLtr721
1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtakbrfR1O
“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.1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDGOSLA2EB

“Where-uh-from-“He was stuttering while trying to find the right translation. She raised an eyebrow.1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrB8I11g3X
1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnuR3j1QJo
“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.1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65NGxpA0SX

“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.1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFR0HVDlWn

“I guess I am searching for something; maybe a reason;” She furrowed her eyebrows in frustration while he simply copied her actions. “Maybe answers.”1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6qcpUIqhQ
1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0hHdNIRri
“Answers to what?”1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CYvSKUl3T
1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rWbh4BdOT
She sighed again and fully turned to him. She leaned against the bridge and bit her lip.1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsnhwIt9ry

“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.1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCqzVILpDu
1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpcf39ZOx2
“There are people who would like to tell you otherwise.” She scoffed.1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6iA7FEBFv
1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcfqZ3IGR3
“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.1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg127m1mxCt
1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3rDDkSPrE
“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.1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAVjRokEF9
1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhsrssKATk
“So,” He started. 1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIANopqMn3
1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEex5uWABc
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.1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6bG7XKLyj
1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9XaOhBMR1
“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.1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVJCZv1uep

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.1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCDvEHZ6NO
1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr2sjYH8Rm
He was my wind.1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRL1eGsbKT
Against what he believed in, he was the happiness that just fell from the sky.
