The Day We Fell
It was 7 PM on a Friday night, and the May holidays were over . Chiharu quickly cleaned up her desk and prepared to leave .
“Oh, Asou . That’s unusual, you leaving on time . ”
“I’m meeting a friend for drinks tonight . ”
“Oh, but you’re really going to meet a boyfriend aren’t you?”
“Ahahaha . If only that were true . See you later then . ”
“Bye . ”
Chiharu lightly brushed of her superiors words and quickly made her way out of the office building . She would then catch a bus to the nearest train station . And there she would meet her friend, Maki Aida .
It had been three years since Chiharu started to work at this distribution company . She worked in sales . Even if there was some overtime, it wasn’t one of those black companies . However, the building where she worked was in an industrial park with lots of warehouses, which was far from any train stations . As Maki had been transferred to a different office in the spring, this was the first time they would be drinking together in over a month .
Chiharu arrived at the closest station . It was the beginning of summer, but the night air was still cold on her skin as she tightly wrapped her pink cardigan around herself . The sweet, flower-print skirt moved in the wind, as did her loose, wavy hair as she ran to the spot where her friend would be waiting . Many men turned their heads when she ran by, however, Chiharu had never been hit on by a man in her life . Chiharu was under the impression that this meant she was not very popular, but the few men that ever asked her on a date, were always the serious type who only thought of marriage . In other words, she was too delicate looking, that it was hard for people to casually approach her .
She arrived at the lion statue . Her friend was waiting there in a black pantsuit with beautiful black hair that just missed her shoulders . As always, Chiharu was taken by how cool she looked . It warmed her heart .
“Maki-chan!”
“Chiharu!”
She couldn’t help but smile . Chiharu Asou . Maki Aida . Close friends called them by their first names . They had joined the company at the same time and had immediately formed a friendship . And that friendship became stronger once they found out that the other could really hold their liquor . Maki was cheerful, tidy and mindful of others, but also had a carefree side as well . While Chiharu seemed soft and kind but could be rather dark-sided . But that made them a good team . Ever since then, they had gone out to drink like this . They were such good friends that they would even go on trips together .
They entered a nearby bar and were led to a private table . It was a good thing too, considering their purpose today .
“What will you get, Chiharu?”
“Hmm… I’ll start off with some potato shochu . On the rocks . ”
“Hah, as cool as ever, you are . Starting with shochu . And on the rocks . Well, I think I’ll have pure ginjo sake . In a wooden cup . ”
“Ah, Maki, you’re starting with sake…and ginjo sake… This bar has a great lineup . ”
There was something that looked off-putting about the way the waiter looked at them, but they didn’t mind . Not today .
“Well, let’s make a toast . ”
“Oh, uh, let’s do a cla.s.sic one . ”
“Okay . ”
“Cheers to being dumped!” “Cheers to being dumped!”
“d.a.m.n it . I won’t deny that we saw less of each other once we started working, okay? But, it’s been five years! And this is a really important time in our lives as adults . What’s wrong with me working hard at my job!”
“Exactly! Exactly!”
“I wear out the bottom of my shoes every day at work . Then I get home all tired . It’s me that wants to have dinner made and feel some relief!”
“Exactly! Exactly! Oh, waiter, I’ll have a lemon highball now . ”
“Ah, give me one too . I wanted to spend time with him just as much as he did, but our days off would never align . ”
“Exactly! Exactly! Oh, I’ll have an omelet . ”
“Ah, I’ll have some takoyaki . Also a radish salad . But still he…”
Maki was starting one of her drunken rants .
“I totally understand, Maki-chan . Let me guess what your boyfriend said . Oh, not boyfriend, Mr . Idiot . ”
“Chiharu…that’s quite mean…”
“You may be able to get along by yourself . But a girlfriend should not get by alone . I have to support you…”
Chiharu said with a mocking gesture .
“…That’s right, Chiharu…are you the devil?”
“What, no . Maybe G.o.d . ”
“That’s a good one . ”
“Huh? You worked hard to be able to provide for yourself! That’s what being an employed adult is about . Am I wrong, Maki-san?”
“Uh, not at all . ”
“You are working hard even if you might actually like to be indulged . That’s what it means to work in society . Am I wrong, Maki-san?”
“Uh, no . By the way, isn’t it wrong that I have to look after new people who say they can’t do anything, live with their parents and leave unfinished work for me? Chiharu-san?”
“Oh, that is very wrong, Maki-chan-san . ”
“Uh, you should just say Maki-san . ”
“Oh, right . ”
They were both face-down on the table now . To put it simply, both of them had lost their boyfriends to new employees who had joined the company in the spring . Why was there even a tutor system?
No, it was a good thing for veterans to teach newcomers, but this resulted in new couples at an alarming rate . Chiharu continued .
“You know, it’s way too early to be thinking about marriage, but it was him who was trying to rush me into it you know? And I did tell him that it was too early . But then he said he wanted me to stay home . I think not!”
“Well, you do look like the type guys would want to protect . ”
“But how is it strange for me to want to work a little bit longer? I’m not even a veteran yet!”
“It’s hard, but working is very fun…”
“Yes… Next time, I’ll fall for someone who can support me in my job and life as much as I support him . ”
“Yes . Yes . Someone like him should fall for that sweet newcomer and disappear!”
“Hehehe…”
“Wh-what is it?”
“Maki-chan, I don’t know about your boyfriend, but my ex’s new girlfriend…”
Chiharu emptied her highball in one gulp .
“Waiter, red wine, in a decanter!”
“You keep going . Aren’t you mixing them a bit much?”
“Two gla.s.ses!”
“Me too?”
“So,”
“Ah, we’re going back on topic…”
“Everything that she has and wears are expensive brand items . ”
“Hoho . Chiharu, does that mean?”
“She’s squeezing him dry . ”
“What an idiot, your boyfriend . ”
“Ex-boyfriend . ”
“Yeah, yeah . ”
“It’s what he deserves!”
“Exactly!”
The decanter was now empty . Neither of them had meant to drink so much, but they had started with too much momentum .
“On to the next bar!”
“Yeees!”
They no longer cared about their exes . They had alcohol and friendship . They drunkenly left the bar, arm in arm and in the best of moods .
Then they fell .
