For the longest time?
Continuation.
But just why me right...? I have self confidence but-
" and not just about that Yuki-kun... "
W-wait there's more about me, you like..?
" Yuki-kun....isn't obvious do I have to explain it furthermore? "
" Th-then can you direct it to me...and to your likings..."
" hmm... you're handsome, smart, athletic and you're just being yourself... "
Do you even remember that I'm still a high schooler a graduating student...?!
".. then why don't we.... let's take this slow Yuki? " [ Shy ]
" Hmm... hmmm.. "
" what's with the hmm..? "
" I don't even know if I have feelings for you y'know "
" ... " [ quiet ]
[ Haru's inner self ] :
Eh- [ shocked ] What's with the fast rejection! I.. I felt so..... Eeekkk! don't panic, don't panic...
..... aaahh no I cannot take it anymore...!
" Ah...I hurt your feelings right? "
"..... idiot..."
" Is it? I do like you but I saw you as my friend.... but I get blush when you're acting by yourself- "
" Do I even have a chance...! " [sigh]
" I'll think about your confession ~ "
"...I know.. its hard for you because of our age gap.." [ down to earth ]
" No... no.. I... "
[ His inner self ] :
Shit....! do I have too... let's do flashbacks....
[ Recall ] hmm... it seems like it...
" Ha.. Haru-san! wait! "
" What? you're gonna spout nonsense "
" No just listen... "
- He grab her hand and pull back and grabbed her waist, she was fully shock of his movements because he's fast, he'd run and catch her so she'll never escape -
[ his Inner self ] :
Oh, no. My heart's being so loud... I cannot even say anything did I made a mistake again? she's talking right now isn't? I cannot barely hear her words.. the words she's saying..!
I have no idea what to do.. what am I supposed to do with her..?
oh lord.....calm down
[ Inhale - Exhale ]
...
I said CALM DOWN CALM DOWN YUKI!!!!
" please don't touch me...! "
I'm frustrated...CONCENTRATE SHE'S WAITING FOR YOUR ANSWER [ punched ] she even pushed you away, you stupid!
" Haru... I came to realize.. that all what happ- "
" For me, it is love at first sight, when I bump to you that time your face looks so calm and everything like I wanted someone like him "
[ her thoughts while panicking ] :
...hope you understand what I'm saying...I cannot at least expose my background, I can just share to you my good memories back then and some difficulties.. wait...
" Ehh- Yuki-kun!! what happened to you... is.. is there a problem...? "
" I'm so lame I'm sorry.... for not talking...I'm so pathetic..this... this confession is so dumb..." [ depressed ]
" I understand you're thinking it so wisely there's no need to be depressed about it! "
" then- "
- He finally hugged her, and their hearts were beating fast at the same time, wouldn't thought he'd do it without a sentence but a phrase, he wanted to feel her hand and face back then but he couldn't do that because of Clarkson.
Now that he's gone he wanted to ask himself what is he gonna do after all that, is tomorrow gonna be the same or it'll change and she'll hate him. But that day confronts him and sudden realize why didn't he thought of this, he first think of why him. Why him, there's so many man who's more reliable and handsome even a rich businessman she can marry him and be rich and helped her family but she chooses him.
Her past is the past, that's what he's thinking, he even think of " She can marry rich man and give birth to a high breed child ", with that sentence made him feel so resentful and wanted to go back in time to change eveything he'd said. Now what he's gonna say to her when she pushed him away, his mind went in daze he doesn't know where to start again and build up confidence. -
" I'm... I'm sorry for making you uncomfortable.. Haru-san "
" Did you just... " [ Ba-dump]
" Takahashi Haru.... I..." [ Excited ]
- A blurry end of Nobuyuki's imagination of Haru's confession yet he didn't know that this would happen next it was a confession but a the real one, he suddenly realize that he was in daze the whole time so Haru was worried for him, and freaked out in the moment and people were looking at him -
" YUKI-KUN! are you o-okay?" [ panicked ]
" ah....I'm s-sorry.....finish what your saying please, please don't go.."
" I am not going away, what are you saying?"
" Just continue what're you saying a while ago.."
" B-but can we at least move to another place you- I mean we're making a commotion here...let's go to other direction okay " [ Nods ]
[ Haru's thoughts ] :
Ha.... good thing that he'd listen to me he's hard to persuade this time...
" Now talk "
" Ah- you sure? you look pal- "
[ Glare ]
... o-okay I'll start talking...
- Real Confession -
" Er.....I'm giving you a gift..."
" Eh? that's all?" [ confused ] Nobuyuki was shock.
" Yeah because you saved me without saying a word that'll happen hehe"
- She handed over the gift with hesitation but she pushed it with her strength to his chest and turn around -
" D-don't get the wrong i-idea....it's not like...I'm giving this because I'm into you or something, okay? T-this gift means you saved me...! nothing more! "
" Ha-haru san..." [ hugged ]
[ Haru's thoughts at the moment ] :
Yu-YUKI-KUN..!? just like I said don't get the wrong idea! you understand that, right?!
" Ah~ mou~ I've already....locked onto you~ although..I feel like if I say that everytime....ah.. it's so hard.." Yuki said it in shying way to pleased her.
" Is... is it that hard to say it out loud? Yuki-kun? "
" I wanna do it...I'm going to say it "
[ Haru's thoughts at the moment ] :
Iyaa....! mou.... no no no no no! don't say it my brain is going insane!
[ Whispers... ]
"...Please go out with me~ "
W-what was that.... a.. a soft vo-voice...
Eh??
" Takahashi Haru I like you "
Eh---------------
Wa-wait! this is real right? he- he'd.. he did say... like me? [ excited ]
" Hmm... so please don't push me away, okay? I wanna hear your thoughts? "
He wanna.. he needs my answer now!
" Yu-Yuki kun... "
Wait- why'd you answer without a continuation! you dumbass! do I like him too? yes right? I've been thinking about him for months?!
" I... I.. li- love you Nobuyuki-kun.."
Ah~ I've said it!!! ackkk! why's my heart beating so fast!
" I can hear your heart beating Haru-san "
" More like I bet you do too... "
" I like you more and love you more"
" Aw.. come on stop with lovey-dovey....!!! "
" I'm happy... thank you "
Er.. why with a 'thank you'? I didn't do anything just respond to him...
[sigh] ha.... never mind that he's happy that's all I want to see on his face right now-
- Shopping -
" Waahh.....I cannot believe that I'm actually here..! in my favorite designer!~"
- After they confessed to each other they're always together and when Nobuyuki's school is up they barely meet and sometimes Haru sleeps in his house, apparently, she leaves her renting house because Yuki said that she'll be living with him instead so he can be with her and to protect, she learns how to cook even Yuki's dish favorites in England and on Japan. As they started living together there are some times they used to fight for something because of Haru's new job, there's guys staying on the café and flirts with her, he knows that because he and his friends went in sometime, they do assignments, projects and for relaxing and for Yuki to go home with her after her shift, if he came in perfect time only. -
" You may choose whatever you want or I can buy the whole store if you want "
[ swoosh ]
" Definitely you're the son of your father Yuki- "
[ praised ]
" I love browsing here you know even in online I used to search some of new looks designs of my favorite designers... oh not to mention I watched models too ~ "
" I agree, it is beautiful too~"
" Aawweeee~ wait this looks so expensive I'll put it back ha~ha~ "
[ Haru's thought's at the same time ] :
Thi-this is making me more depressing and surely I looked poor....looks like I found a sugar daddy..
[ growl ] a-ahem.... he's younger so.... does it counts..? [ LoL ]
" doesn't matter I'm the one who'll buy it for you and also buy for your family when we get back to Japan~"
[ At the moment of thinking ] :
I missed my family but do they miss me too..? only my younger brother misses me...
" Haru...? Haru-san earth to Haru-san...! "
" Oopss...! I am sorry I was thinking of what should I get them..if I bought something here they'll perhaps say that I used my body for this...even if it's true.."
" It doesn't count anymore Haru.." [smiles]
" what do you mean? "
" Ah...iya....I mean no one can do that you anymore because I am here now.."
" I want to clarify something with you, do we really start dating? "
" Yes we are! yes!"
" So why are you still asking me about this we've fought about this few months ago?! Were living together and still act like that? so~ childish~ "
" th-then, w-we can do anything right and be comfortable ...." He shyly asked.
" Yes that's right "
" .....okay " Yuki was in awkward situation.
" I wanna go to women's wear it's been a long time since I went with my aunt to shopping~ "
" hmm...then enjoy rest of the day I'm just here gonna wait~"
" Um... Yuki? "
" Yes! " [ Quick replied ]
" D-do you like s-sexy...? "
[ Yuki's blank mind went ] :
Ha- Haru... san... can you stop... pe-people might think of something...we're in public right now...
".... or~ do you like more se-sexier? "
[ Gulp ] " No... I'd like more pretty than sexy... be.. because you're already a.. sexy... looking... "
Oh please stop it now.!
- End of shopping -
" It's fun today.. I love being with you Yuki!, so thank you... "
"....come on... it's nothing... "
Haru... don't you know I'm losing my mind right now....
" Yuki! let's go eat there!
" be right there !"
- They're about to enter Yuki's car and he was hearing some illusions of his mom calling him. -
- A sudden call : speaking in English -
" Yuki~ "
[ Yuki down to earth ] :
" M-mom..?! what're you doing here? "
[ Haru's POV before she knew it was his mom and after ] :
No... No way...wait who is she? no way she's calling him by name without honorifics... do.. doesn't... wait.. he was cheating with me all along? she... she looks so young and tall so beautiful looks like a Goddest mode! [ ahem ]. Not to mention she got a sexy body right there...how'd he kept that from me? he loves me but he has other wome-
- She hears Yuki calling her mom -
What??? sh-she is your mom?!?!?!
"no way " [ mumbled ]
she looks so young as in YOUNG! [ realization ]
Yuki.. you're not hearing my thoughts good grief
[ big deep sigh ] but I'm sorry for talking about your Goddest mom [ praised ] even so, my mom and his mom were so alike...if my mom is not sick these days she probably be energetic as always and lively...
[ Blabbering ] :
" Eh? your graduation is coming up dear~ sorry for not attending few years ago~ I felt so dearly bad~ well ever since you've been a good boy you're really just a fun and outgoing man~ , and it's in the third week right? I made the schedule advance so we can look around here again. I missed going here~ "
- Years been past and he's finally graduating college he and his friends we're colleague at the end. His whole family fly to England, they felt very bad to him the reason is they didn't appeared in his high school graduation so they surprised him with a twist -
" B-but where is dad... and Naoko? don't tell me you guys left without telling Nao-nao? "
" Oohhhh~ we went all the way here~ your little brother was so excited to see you~ "
" But where are they " [ looks everywhere ]
" Oh- they went to a bakery~ Nao-nao is starving~ "
" Umm... " - Haru's mind went blank after that she drastically went too far to think that Nobuyuki was cheating on her -
[ Glance ]
" Oohhh yyou've got a friend I see? is she the one you're saying?" [ speaks in Japanese ]
" Hello mam.. " [ smiles ]
" Er.... mom this is Takahashi Haru.. she studied college and worked here "
[ blabber ]
" Oohh.... is she your friend? I saw you guys we're so close together and I interupt your deepest discussion "
" Er... what do you mean discussion... "
" Ehe- it's a joke...then what is she to you ? " [smirk]
" She's my girlfriend mom "
[ Dun Dun]
[ Haru's thoughts ] :
Eh---------------

I didn't eated yet so my belly is not bloated! haha.. bloated... tsk STAY FOCUSED..! look at him he's straightforward acckkk.... my actual type! heart heart I wish I can be with you without YOU being so shy and always talking when head is down...but look at him he's a total man!!!! [ Her eyes full of sparkle and hearts ]
" Hmm.... "
" Honey! "
" Mommmmyy!!! look what I've bought... OHH Yuki Onii-chan!!! "
" Hey!!! you've grown taller when I last saw you! you've gain weight! "
" I'll be stronger than you brother! "
" You'll be at my graduation day huh? "
" Yes and I'll put your medals not mom nor dad I talked to your teachers by the way "
" Wait- you guys came to my school "
" Ara~ sorry for not telling you we just wanted to see and greet the officials there~ "
[ his self esteem went ] :
... mom you just wanted to show up didn't you?
" Honey ~ Yuki said he has a girlfriend ~ "
" Good heavens we have grandchildren soon ~ "
" Er...DAD DON'T SAY SUCH NONSENSE EVEN WE'RE ADULT WE'RE STILL YOUNGSTERS... "
" Eh? are you a high schooler? " Dad ignore him.
".....Dad, she's twenty-two years old "
C'mon Dad she looks very young to you though....
[ Dun dun dun ] - Everyone became quiet and the atmosphere was kind of disappointed because she looked so young to say she's just a twenty-two year old girl just a fresh graduate and started working, even so, they accept her in Miyazono family without a hesitate. They even tell her to come back with them in Japan after his graduation and start living with them but she needs to go through her mom first without leaving. -
[ Embrace ]
" Oh Haru-chan ~ you looked so gorgeous ~ "
" You also looked so beautiful Aunt"
" Eh... stop calling me aunt I am your mom free to call me that okay~ "
" Also me call me dad you're part of the family the future wife of my first son "
[ Haru's exaggerating thoughts ]
...Eh..they look so expensive... they even smell expensive even Yuki's younger brother is a highly genius! this family sure to be rich...! Did I hook up royal family? they said they've run so many companies! and Yuki will inherit...! yet he said he doesn't want too because he'd take the course of Law.... hmm... that's not bad cause.. Lawyer man are also kind of hot
[ imagination went ]
But it'll take a hard work so I'll support him as his... [ recall ]
I am... his... [ recall ]
[ Sigh ] Ha...! our anniversary is coming soon...! I.. sh-should prepare something for him..!
[ Saw Yuki laughing and playing with Naoko ]
Uwuuuu.....! he looks so good... ahem... he's so intimidating... I wanna hug him too...!
wait he does..? he'd hugged be once earlier...should I drag him to my house after this? no it's bad...
" Onii-chan! let's play at your condominium! "
" My house is pretty messy...."
" Don't worry son we've already picked up you stuff and move to our house" [dad]
" Eh-"
[whispers]
" Yuki-kun....does your parents always do this behind your back?"
[ agreed ] " ...precisely"
" So....we'll meet soon okay I'll be going now.."
" wait..!" [ hurried ]
" Yuki let's invite her for dinner"
" Yeah we want to know more about her brother "
" Er...Haru-san....is that okay with you?, if you refuse it's fine it'll be more uncomfy for you if you accep- " [ drastically worried ]
" Okay thank you for inviting me" [ agreed ]
" Sweet! don't worry I'm here to woo you~ "
" Er...." [shy]
" MOM! stop it! "
[ Chit chat ended ]
- Graduation & Celebration -
- Everyone was outside the hall congratulating each other, his friends ; William, James, Michael, and Robert. The twin sisters who helped Yuki ; Suzuna and Suzuha also came to visit him and teased him more. His whole family and friends were surrounded to him. Suzuna and Suzuha will remained in England for business purposes they've been working since Nobuyuki was still starting his second year college. As for his friends, the others are going to straight work and others were studying for masteral. And so on, Yuki will go back to Japan. -
" Son when'll you go back with us?"
" The schedule is on the third week now let's start packing up it'll be a huge bagging.. " [ swoosh ]
" Is it okay for Haru and I will be together at the time of flight "
[Calm] " Sure... "
[shock] " What? "
" What's with the exaggerated.. mom? " [ annoyed ]
" Yo-your mother thought she will stay here for work but we saw that... you'll take her back too?. "
" Well her contract will end soon so better to take her home as well and meet her family once again.... "
[ Yuki on mind ] :
Will she be okay? when she meet her family and... it's also because her aunty died not long ago so how can she go ba-
[ Interupt ] " Brother!!! can I play for you? "
[ Sigh ] ha... let's just wait until the flight and think this through...
" Okay from what composer? "
" Ah... the one mom always wanted me to play "
" Okay I'll hear it "
[ Music ]
- To the country I was born -
" Ah Yuki you can go ahead I'll go take the train "
" You okay? it's been a long time since you went here do you still recall the places? "
" Yeah, no worries " [ Smiles ]
" Then- " [ Stopped ]
- She kissed him on the lips so he'll stop thinking and worrying about her -
" BYE~ SEE YA!! " [ runs ]
" u-ummmm.... " [ blushed ]
- Haru already hop on the train, and give a sigh then smirk, she checked her phone and his younger brother texted, her family don't know yet that she's in Japan now and wanted to surprise them. Haru went back with a lots of gift with Nobuyuki's help and advice. When she got home the house were full of spider webs and gloomy atmosphere. -
[ Shouting ]
" Ka-san!!! please stop!!! " [ Crying ]
[ shouts & slaps ] " Shut up! you insolent boy! you're just like your sister USELESS! SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT! "
" Mom! " [ Slams the door ]
" Who the fu- oh so you're here without saying a word that you're going back? " [ aggressively grins ]
- She terribly looked at her mother, and glance to her brother named Rokuro, while Haru's away when their Aunt took her to England she said that she'll look after her let her study college after that they'll come back, yet after graduating and having the flight tickets. Haru's aunt went to an car accident her last words is that she's going to buy grocery for their dinner and breakfast before leaving in the morning. Haru waited for hours and hours until it went dinner time and she's still not return home and as soon she stood up, her phone rang and then she picked up, dropped the phone and hurried to the hospital it said to be she was in despair and had nothing to do. She called her Aunts other relatives and her mom, the mother didn't care she just wanted gold mines from her so she didn't care although that aunt is her eldest sister she didn't come to her funeral and as soon days come without her Aunt, she had trouble with house paying, electricity, water and food for living she has no money anymore the allowance and keepsake money her Aunt gave was empty she sell her precious bag gifted by her aunt, to be exact she treated her aunt as her real aunt since she cannot bear children and divorce with her husband a long time ago that's why she get the chance to go England with Haru. Haru's aunt is so admirably beautiful like Haru's real mother it's just that her mom and aunt is so distinguishable and unlike to each other they don't have similarities like they're related but felt not. Haru's mom is selfish that's why she ended up being sick because of her bad habit, her beauty fades away she always complain that her sickness is because of stress on her two children she blame everything to Haru and Rokuro but knowing they're the ones who took care of them and while Haru's away she had a boyfriend and Rokuro to takr care of her. But that boyfriend of hers just wanted money the guy was just using him to tell that he's taking care of her. He left her without a word and blame again but to Rokuro, her young brother was suffering pain every single day he's just seven years old and goes to school then grocery everyday and whenever he talk to people at his age their mom will say that ; they're useless and don't be like them, keeps telling him not to be like her sister who hang outs with her aunt, goes to party, and be with failures. Rokuro on the other hand, he knows his sister is not like that and wished that he joined with his aunt and sister and left their mother alone because she even verbal abuse, physically abuse and saying she wished that they were never been born in this world. Just how cruel she was to her children but back then when she and her husband and had Haru and Rokuro, she was proud to be a mother and loved them whole heartedly it's just her husband fell inlove with her eldest sister knowing she already had one, her sister isn't inlove with her husband, behind it it's a false rumors that she and her husband caught doing dirty. But their Aunt cannot do that just because she cannot give birth and a divorce women is not a reason to steal her sister's husband. That is the end of their sisters relationship, so when her sister gave birth to Haru she was delightfully happy for her even Haru's mom is mad at her and then second child Rokuro pass on she gets the chance to hold her children once again she was so happy that she wanted to hug her sister who gave birth safely. But with the abandonment of sisters relationship Haru's mom and husband were smiling and their Aunt was just at the back. So as soon Haru became high schooler, she her aunt made a decision to treat her in England and study there and when it's done they'll fetch Rokuro too, because she saw what's happening in her sister's life. So with that speaking she tries to talk with her and tell she'll bring Haru to England for vacation and apply college. Then she let her be, Rokuro wanted to join as well because he wanted to feel what's in the other country like but their mom was in terrible stake and said he'll be taking care of her with her new boyfriend. -
To be continued....
