I Give My First Love To You

A cute Japanese love story with a sad ending. However, it did not bring tears to my eyes unlike the previous story, but it is nice. (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

Childhood friends, that’s what Takuma and Mayu were. But they’re not just friends. “First love”, that was how they call it. ( ¤̴̶̷̤́ ‧̫̮ ¤̴̶̷̤̀ ) Takuma was born having a heart problem. Mayu’s father attended to him to keep him well, both as a doctor and as a father. Having such disease, strenuous physical activities and many types of food were forbidden. Takuma’s death could come in the most unexpected time.

They grew up together, went to school together, did things happily together, and sometimes quarrel over some things. When they reached high school, there also went a student who “loved” Mayu. (I don’t think that was love, maybe infatuation. Hahaha). Suzuki Kou knew about Takuma’s disease, and told him that if he dies, what would happen to Mayu? She would be in much distress and hurt, crying hardly every time. He told him about how his father died from the same disease as Takuma had. So, while Takuma was still alive, he wanted to get Mayu. In fact, that was what Takuma was thinking over some time. He said that he would break up with Mayu before he dies so that when his time comes, Mayu would be in less distress.

Takuma challenged Kou for a 100 meter sprint. The deal was, if he wins, Kou must stop bugging Mayu, but if Kou wins, Mayu would be his girlfriend. (Well, that’s an unfair deal, without Mayu knowing anything. Takuma came out to be the winner.

One time, when the two planned on skipping the class, Kou saw them and was also planning the same. (hahaha) He offered Takuma a friendship. When he got out from a hospital or a donor center (not really sure what it was. Hehe), he tried to avoid a bicycle on the road when a large truck hit him that led him to a coma.

Good news for Takuma, a heart donor came. The operation will be in two days. The doctor, Mayu’s father, told Takuma and his parents that the boy who was in an accident was carrying a heart donor slip and that was for Takuma. He ordered Takuma for a bed rest until the operation. Being always with Takuma, Mayu was also in the hospital. Seeing some other students wearing the same school uniform as her, she approached them and was told that Kou was in an accident and was admitted in the same hospital. That was when she knew that the donor was Kou.

When Takuma knew about the matter, he refused to undergo to the operation. Kou’s mother and grandfather, on the other hand, witnessed the tears of Kou flowing down from his eyes to his cheeks, and his one finger that moved. The doctor said that it was just spinal reflex but for them, it was hope. A miracle could happen. Seeing this, they cancelled the heart donor. It brought sadness to Takuma’s parents.

For the last time, Takuma and Mayu spent their time together and had fun together. They rode rides that were actually forbidden for him. Mayu tried to stop him but he insisted, and then told Mayu that it was the time for him. The next thing was an ambulance came up carrying him to the hospital and there, his body gave up. ( =̴̶̷̤̄ .̫ =̴̶̷̤̄ )

In the end, Mayu was wearing a wedding gown, alone in a church, holding a white container with Takuma's ashes. ( ¤̴̶̷̤́ ‧̫̮ ¤̴̶̷̤̀ ) Well, they got married though. (o´∀｀o)
