“Where’s Eri?” I asked Sho when he sits in front Sho.
“I don’t know. Hard to see her now,” Sho said with a low tone. He sighs.
“Be cool. It’s normal. She’s a secretary now, not a student anymore,” I said that only to comfort Sho. I know that Eri is Sho’s lover since first year in university.
“I want her to be there when I need her. Now, it’s more like she is there for me only when she needs me,” Sho said.
“Hi guys,” Hana greeted before sits beside me.
“Hana-chan, let’s go to cinema,” Sho said to her boringly. Of course Hana say yes because she likes him. I can see that Hana is smiling brightly.
“Hai, demo, Sho-kun, doushite?” Hana said when Sho asked her. She’s still smiling.
“Eri, she’s canceling our date at last minute,” Sho said. Hana’s smile is faded away. But, a moment later, Hana is smiling again. But, it’s obviously fake smile.
“When is it?” Hana asked excitedly.
“Tonight,” Sho said but still in boring tone.
~Sho’s POV~
“Eri, where did you go last night? I can’t even call you,” I asked her.
“Sho, gomenasai ne. I have meeting with my boss. I’m not doing anything that you don’t like,” she said softly and touches my hand lightly.
“I’m not questioning you. But, please tell me where you go,” I said her.
“Don’t worry. I love you,” she said. She always said that but my heart feels so lonely and doesn’t touch my heart at all.
~Hana’s POV~
“Sho-kun, let’s go…,” I stopped when I saw he with Eri.
“Ah, you. What’s your name? Ah, Nishikado Hana ne?” Eri asked me. I nodded.
“Hana-chan, I want to go lunch with Eri. So, wanna join us?” Sho said to me.
“No. I’ll…,” I looked around and saw Ohno is coming to us. “I’ll go with Ohno-kun,” I said and hold Ohno’s arm.
“Oh, okay. Have fun,” Eri said and walk away with Sho.
~Ohno’s POV~
“Oh, okay. Have fun,” Eri said and walk away with Sho. Hana is still holding my arm.
“I’m sorry for using you, Ohno-kun,” said and let go of my arm.
“No, it’s okay. I know you like him. And I know how it feels when we have to keep the feeling alone. Come, let’s go lunch,” I said to her.
~Hana’s POV~
I’m so embarrassed with Ohno. He knows that. He knows that I love Sho.
I’m walking with Ohno and saw Sho with Eri again. Oh my god! This world is big but I can’t avoid from see them. When I see Eri’s holding Sho’s hand, I’m so hurt. Oh my god! Please stop this feeling. Slowly, I can feel my tear is falling on my cheeks.
“Don’t cry here,” Ohno said to me. He wiped my tears away and holds my shoulder tightly.
~Ohno’s POV~
I saw she’s crying. I comfort her. But I know, no matter what I’m doing, her eyes are only on Sho. I go to that coffee and tea shop.
“Eh, Ohno-san. It’s been a long time since you came here,” Satsuki said to me. She is the worker at the coffee and tea shop.
“I’m free today,” I said and sit on the bar.
“What you want to order?” she asked me.
“Could you make me tea? Bitter tea,” I said to her. She is just smiling.
“Doushite? It’s not your habit to drink bitter tea. What happen between you and Hana?” she asked. She always knows my problem.
“Hana-chan only has eyes for Sho. I can’t see a space to slip in,” I said to her. I don’t know why, but, I really feel comfortable with Satsuki.
“You should let tell her your feeling. I’m sure that you don’t wanna regret it later,” Satsuki said while making the tea.
“I can’t. She loves Sho. I should let her choose,” I said.
~Sho’s POV~
I saw Eri with that guy. I know that they’re not just friends. So, I go to greet the perfect couple.
“Hi, Eri. And?” I asked her. She looks shock when she saw me. She immediately let go of the guy’s arm.
“Sho, this isn’t like what you think,” Eri said and touch my hand softly.
“Hey, stop that. I’m immune to your tactic. Let me go,” I said and walk away. I really don’t know where to go.
I saw Hana. I walk to her.
“Sho-kun, doushite?” Hana asked me.
“Hana-chan, can I hug you for a moment?” I said. She looks so shock. I just pulled her into my arms.
“Sho-kun, doushite?” Hana asked me again.
“I’m just break up,” I told her.
“With Eri-san?” she asked.
“Hai, she’s cheating on me,” I said while hugging her.
~Ohno’s POV~
I saw it. Hana and Sho. They’re hugging. I can feel my heart is breaking. I start to walk to the coffee and tea shop. I found out that the shop is already close. I was about to go back but I hear a voice.
“Ohno-san?” the voice called me. That’s Satsuki.
“Satsuki-san. I need to talk to someone,” I told her without hesitating.
“About Hana?” she asked me. I just nodded.
“Let’s walk together,” she said and we start walking.
“Hana is with Sho now. I saw them hugging,” I started to tell her.
“So, what you’re going to do?” she asked me.
“I think I will just give them my blessing,” I said.
“Ohno-san, could you stop being noble?” she sounds like she is dissatisfied.
“I’m nobody to compare to Sho. If they happy together, I can’t do anything,” I said to her.
“You said you can’t do anything. I don’t think you never did anything to win her heart. And you say that you’re nothing to compare to him,” Satsuki really sounds like she’s angry even though her voice is still soft.
“I…,” I was about to say something.
“You never did anything. You once said that you really love her but you never tried a single thing to win her. Why? I can’t understand you. I’m going home,” she said and walks away.
~Satsuki’s POV~
I really hate him. I just want him to be happy. I hear every single thing about Hana and Sho. I hear he said that he really love Hana even though my heart is hurt. Ken throws a paper to me.
My happiness is when he is happy…
I stare at his face.
“You write it. If you feel that way, he must feel that way to,” Ken told me.
“Nii-chan, how you know?” I asked him.
“He told me everything. What’s his name? Ah, Ohno Satoshi,” he told me.
“Stop listening to other people,” I said to him.
“He’s not other people. He’s my brother-in-law-to-be,” he said. I throw the pillow to him.
“Maybe he feels what you feel. Try to think about it,” he said to me. I just stay silent.
“And because he told me everything. I maybe told him everything too,” he said and quickly run away.
~Sho’s POV~
Before this, I am so stupid. I believe Eri. I forget that seasons can change, not to mention promises. I should give chance to Hana. She deserves that chance. I never realize that she always there for me when I need someone.
I finally found the exit of my love to Eri and I also found somewhere to go. To Hana.
~Ohno’s POV~
I didn’t that Satsuki likes me. Thank God her brother told me. And I’m almost being beaten by her brother.
Suddenly, I remember what Sho told me.
“I accept Hana because I want to give Hana a chance. And, I wanna give myself a chance too. And sometimes, we can realize that a feeling of need is love. Hana told me that love someone means we need them and they need us,” Sho told me that.
I’ll go and meet her at the coffee and tea shop. I want that chance too. I want to be with someone that I need.
“Satsuki-san, I’m sorry about yesterday. I know I’m pissing you off,” I started.
“Why did my brother tell you?” she asked me.
“Everything about you. Look, I wanna take this chance. I want you to be my girl. I know your feeling too. Please say yes,” I said and kneeling there. She looks a little shock.
“Could you get up? People is staring at us,” she said and trying to pull me up.
“Gomenasai but I can’t get up until you say yes,” I said. She looks hesitate.
“Please I need you,” I said and she still looks around. People still staring at us.
“Okay, okay. Yes. Now, get up,” she said.
I get up and immediately hug her.
