夕方
無性に走りたくなって
小一時間ぐらい近所を駆け回っていました
気づけば18時
しまった 今夜のメインイベント「たまがわ花火大会」まで１時間しかない
♪♪♪
一緒に行く友達からLINEが届く
友「仕事終わった！急いで向かっています！」
私『すまん 私いまシャワー出たばっかりだ』
友「てめー！！」
なぜか「怒ったジャガイモ」のスタンプも添付されていたけど、あれは一体どこで手に入れたんだろうか
これはアイシャドーを塗ったり、髪を乾かしている時間はないと思い
ほぼスッピン＆半濡れアタマで家を出ました
白いワンピースに 紺色の羽織に 赤い鼻緒のゲタだったのだけど
友達からは開口一番
「それで電車乗ってきたの？」
と言われました 「日本人にみえない」と
いやむしろ全力でジャパンだし
花火
穴場スポットで、美味しい白を２人でラッパ飲みしながら
ひたすら喋る あぁ楽しい
「さきえ 写真撮らないの？」
『なんで』
「花火、綺麗じゃん」
『花火は見て楽しむもんなんだって 撮ってどうすんだよ』
そんな私の隣には、三脚にレリーズボタンをつけて写真撮ってるおじさんがいましたが
バーン！
ドォーン！
パラパラパラ…
あぁ、もう夏も終わりだねぇ
In the evening,
I felt I needed to jog, so I did. For like 1 hr.
Then I realised, it was almost 6pm, which is merely one hour left to the start of today’s big event “Tamagawa” Firework Festival. God.
The Line rang to notify me the message from my friend, and it said
My Friend "I'm on my way, I'm hurrying!"
Me "Ah, sorry, actually I just finished showering. Haha."
My Friend "You idiot!!"
I wonder what was that little angry potato guy she sent me along with the message above. I wonder where she got it from..
Since I figured out there was no time left for me to put eyeshadows or brow my hair to dry, I did none of them and just left home, in my cheap white dress and silk navy-colored Haori with Getas on my feet.
When we finally met at the station, she said
"Did you come all the way to here in that outfit?"
"You do not look like a Japanese person."
Well. I tried my best to look like a real Japanese, you know? I don't get it.
So, we successfully sat in the secret area where was not too much crowded, and drank the wine I brought, which was actually really good, and talked and talked and talked like we always did for the last 6+ years.
"Hey Sakie, why not take pictures of fireworks?"
"Why?"
"Because they're beautiful!"
"Fireworks are something you enjoy by watching. Why bother photographing?"
And there was a guy with a big DSLR camera on a tripod with an attached release button in his hand just next to me. Well well well...
BAAAM!
DOOHHHN!!
Ah... the summer is ending..
