CHAPTER 4
YOU ARE MY SONG


Inside the house..

Eriol brought out the cake. "Happy Birthday, Tomoyo. Blow the candle and make a wish."

Tomoyo closed her eyes and whispered something before extinguishing the candle.

They began to eat.

"You're a wonderful cook, Eriol!"

"Only the best for the birthday girl." he replied, smiling a little.

She laughed.

After finishing dinner, Eriol asked her to duet with him. He sat down the piano bench and began to play the intro of the song.

Tomoyo began to sing.


You are the song
Playing so softly in my mind
I reach for you
You seem so near yet so far

I hope and I pray
That you'll be here with me someday
Coz I know down inside
You are mine and I'm your true love
Or am I dreaming?

How can I each time I try to say goodbye
You were there
You look at me I touch the sky
We can share tomorrow and forevermore
I'll be there to love you so
You are my song

Eriol tried to focus on what he is playing,but
hearing Tomoyo's angelic voice singing proved to have
an incredible effect in his whole celebral system!He's
actually imagining she's singing the song to him!

..I try not to say
the words that might just scare you away
Coz I know down inside
you are mine and I'm your true love
Please no more dreaming


He stole a glance at her. In any angle you look at her, her exquisite beauty never goes unnoticed.

Her simple gestures radiates with grace and finesse, her expressive eyes that went well with her porcelain skin and pink lips gives her the aura of innocence and her long flowing dark hair crowns the delicate feature of her eyes.

"No wonder every boy in school is infatuated with her." he thought.

"Does that include you?" his heart taunted.

He has no answer for that.


..We can share tomorrow and forevermore
I'll be there to love you so..


Eriol played the last few chords of the song. Tomoyo waited for the last note to sing the last line but he turned around already.

"Eriol, the song isn't finished yet." she said. He stared at her intently for a moment then spoke. "I'll finish the song for you.. You are my song." He sang softly.



Meanwhile the man who harassed Tomoyo was watching an action flick with his buddies on TV when a flash report came.

"The only child of multi-millionaire Sonomi Daidouji is currently missing." A picture of Tomoyo was displayed on screen.

"Rewards will be given to those who have information on her whereabouts-" continued the reporter but the man put the TV off already.

"Did you see that, Kumo? It's the girl we saw awhile ago in the park. "Mr. Toothless no.1 said to the man.

Kumo smirked. "I knew that little princess is rich! If not for that meddling kid, we'll be rolling in dough now."

"So what do we do, Boss?" Mr. Toothless no.2 asked.

"You idiot! Tamano, we'll get the kid and bring her to them." Kumo snapped.

"Oh."

"Yube, Tamano, let's go!" ordered the boss.



In the Daidouji residence..

"Advertising your daughter's disappearance will only anger the kidnappers, Mrs. Daidouji." Hanasaki gently reprimanded.

"But I'm desperate to see my baby again!" She cried, her eyes swollen. She flew straight from Seoul upon learning from her maids that her daughter was kidnapped.

"How could this have happened? The security is tight, there were bodyguards and everything.." she moaned, clearly anguished.

"Madam Daidouji.." the maids were crying with her too.

"Let's just hope the kidnappers will call the rewards part." he sighed.
