My name is Ayako and I am an ordinary Japanese office worker. Living a dull and uneventful life every day, I gradually lost myself in my busy schedule. However, a chance trip turned my life upside down.
It was spring, the season of cherry blossoms. I decided to give myself a vacation and go to Kyoto to feel the romantic cherry blossom rain. I embarked on the journey alone, full of anticipation and excitement.
When I came to Kyoto, I was shocked by the beauty in front of me. Ancient temples, peaceful gardens, pink cherry blossoms, everything was as beautiful as a dream. I strolled through the streets, feeling the warm spring breeze and the faint scent of flowers, which made me feel extraordinarily relaxed.
In the evening, I came to a traditional Japanese restaurant. The interior of the restaurant was exquisitely decorated, with wooden tables and chairs and papier-mâché lanterns, full of rich Japanese flavor. I found a seat by the window and ordered a sushi and a glass of sake. Just as I was enjoying my meal, a strange man walked in.
He was tall, dressed in a neat suit, and his eyes were deep and mesmerizing. He looked around the store, then walked over to my table and asked with a smile, “May I sit here, please?” I was a little surprised, but nodded. He sat down, ordered the same food as I did, and then started talking to me.
His voice was low and magnetic, making you want to be close to him. We talked a lot, from the beauty of Kyoto to the culture of Japan, from the trivialities of life to the ideals of life. I realized that we had a lot of common hobbies and topics, as if we were old friends who hadn’t seen each other for years.
Unconsciously, the night fell, and the customers in the store gradually became more and more numerous. Our chats became deeper and more sincere. He told me his name was Shota, an executive of a company, and that he had come to Kyoto this time to attend a business meeting. He said he had always loved the city of Kyoto and felt happy every time he came here.
I also shared my story with him, telling him that I am an ordinary office worker who lives a busy and uneventful life every day. I always longed for a different kind of trip, so I chose Kyoto. After listening to my story, he smiled and said, “Life is like a trip, we are always looking for those beautiful scenery and unforgettable experiences. Sometimes, an unexpected encounter can make our life more wonderful.”
Our chat continued until late at night, and by the time we walked out of the restaurant, the sky was filled with stars. Shota walked me back to the hotel, and at the door, he gently held my hand and said, “It was nice to meet you, and I hope we’ll meet again.” I blushed and nodded, then turned and walked into the hotel.
When I returned to my room, my mood could not be calmed for a long time. This unexpected encounter made me feel a warmth and happiness that I had never felt before. I lay on the bed, recalling our chats and the bits and pieces of our time together, and unconsciously entered dreamland.
The next morning, I woke up and found a text message from Shota on my cell phone. He said that he had a meeting today and wouldn’t be able to accompany me on the tour, but he hoped that I would have a nice vacation in Kyoto. He also recommended some attractions and delicacies in Kyoto that I should definitely try.
I looked at the text message and my heart was filled with emotion. I decided to follow his recommendations and explore the sights and food of Kyoto. I first went to the Kinkakuji Temple, an ancient temple that was spectacular with its golden glow in the sunlight. I strolled around the temple and felt the serenity and solemnity. Then I went to Gion, one of the most traditional places in Kyoto. I enjoyed a traditional song and dance performance, tasted local snacks and bought some souvenirs.
In the next few days, I went to many more places, each of which gave me a unique taste of Kyoto. I would also receive text messages from Shota from time to time, he would care about my trip and feelings, and also give me some advice and encouragement. Our relationship became closer and closer in the process.
The vacation soon came to an end and I had to return to Tokyo. On the day I left Kyoto, Shota came to the station to see me off. He gave me a book about Kyoto, saying that he hoped I would remember the wonderful time we had in Kyoto. I took the book with a heart full of sadness. We hugged each other tightly as if time had stopped.
When I returned to Tokyo, my life returned to its usual busy and uneventful routine. However, my heart was filled with more attachments and thoughts. Shota and I kept in touch every day through text messages and phone calls, and we shared our lives and feelings with each other as if we had never been apart.
A few months later, Shota came to Tokyo on a business trip. We finally met again, and at that moment, our hearts were filled with joy and emotion. We went to some attractions in Tokyo together and ate a lot of food. In the process, our relationship became deeper.
From then on, our relationship became more and more stable. We would often travel together and explore the beauty of the world together. We would also face difficulties and challenges in life together, supporting and encouraging each other. Our love was like a blooming flower, emitting a charming fragrance.
However, our love is not all smooth sailing. Shota’s work was very busy and often required him to travel and work overtime. We spent less and less time together and our relationship started to have some problems. I began to doubt our future and wondered if we could go on forever.
At this time, Shota decided to give our love a chance. He applied for a long vacation from his company and then took me to a beautiful seaside town. There, we watched the sunrise and sunset together, strolled on the beach together, and enjoyed that peaceful time together. Our relationship was also repaired and sublimated in the process.
Now, we have been together for many years. We are still deeply in love with each other and have traveled many years of our lives together. Whenever I recall that erotic encounter we had in Kyoto, my heart is filled with warmth and happiness. I know that it was a life-changing encounter and one of the best memories of my life.
