Masaya's long evening

Masaya woke up because of a bit of coldness.
He had taken forty winks on a bench at Yamashita Park.

That was his favorite place.
The view of Yokohama Bay Bridge from there was second to none.
Masaya liked to go there sometimes, sit on a bench,
listen to waves and gaze vacantly at the Bay Bridge.
While the sun set, the Bay Bridge was illuminated
and changed colors between blue and white.

Today Masaya went there after work as usual.
He was a little tired and slept for a short time.

When he woke up, the sun had set already and it was quite dark.
It was eight o'clock now.
Masaya was going to stand up and go home, and just at that time
he saw a girl walking with a man and being very friendly over there.
She was his girl-friend, Noriko.
She looked to be in seventh heaven with the man walking at her side.
She didn't notice Masaya.

Masaya put two and two together.


The first meeting of Masaya and Noriko was in last September.
When he went to a music store in Yokohama, he saw a very cute girl
playing the piano very well.
Her name was Noriko.
Piano was second nature to her.
Masaya fell in love with Noriko at first sight.

Yamashita Park was the very place where Masaya had a first date with
Noriko.
He was on cloud nine at that time.

But recently she had became cold to him.
Masaya had a sixth sense for his disappointed love.
But of course he didn't want to admit it.


However now he could not keep himself from admitting the present
situation.
She was talking with her pretty smiles which Masaya hadn't seen
these days.

At first Masaya was of two minds about whether he should let Noriko
notice him or not.
It was six of one, half a dozen of the other to Masaya about who the
man was.
It was the fact that Noriko's heart was going to another man...
that bothered him.

On second thought he decided to get near Noriko...
