Chapter 85

CAFÉ

Tsubaki : I apologize for the sudden action but I need to talk to you before I leave for Belgium tomorrow morning.And firstly,the reason why I want to talk you is because I am sure you know Mizuhara Hiiro.

Haruna : ..Hiiro?(shocked)

Tsubaki : Yes,Hiiro.

Haruna just stare at Tsubaki after she mention Hiiro’s name.

Tsubaki : My full name is Amano Tsubaki and unfortunately,I was HIiro’s girlfriend.

Haruna : (shocked)

Tsubaki : Don’t be shocked.I was ,not anymore.We broke up 3 years ago .

Haruna : Im..Im sorry.

Tsubaki : Don’t be.well,let me get straight to the point.I came back here last week to find him. But then someone else found him and steal his heart.And no,I am not accusing you Haruna.

Haruna : Wait,what are you saying.I am not even Hiiro’s-

Tsubaki : I am not blind and stupid Haruna.I know about Hiiro’s feeling towards you.Perhaps,earlier than you.And at first,I thought about being my usual ego and selfish self.I even thought about attacking and accusing for making HIiro fall for you but then,who am I to defy fate right?

Haruna : Tsubaki-san..I-

Tsubaki : Hiiro is such a great guy.My mistake to not see that sooner.My mistake to do bad things behind him even when he was always there during my downfalls.But I was not there during his.One thing you should know Haruna.Hiiro hides his feelings most of the time.He may be stoic but he is a keeper. But I was not good enough to realize that earlier.And it took me all these years to finally see what he meant by his actions.He told me someone found him,and then he was alive.It’s you.

Haruna : (shocked)

Tsubaki :I thought hard about this.And it took a whole great courage to finally see you and tell you how much I regret for letting Hiiro go.And I even have doubt how we ended together back then.

Haruna : ….

Tsubaki :I am sure you can make HIiro happy .I didn’t make him happy,I didn’t love him as much as he did before.But,finally he found you and I am sure you can take care of him better than I did.Did he tell you about his feelings?

Haruna : (speechless)….he..actually..well..

Tsubaki : he did?When?

Haruna : this..morning actually.

Tsubaki : That long?(annoyed)

Haruna : I think so..

Tsubaki : Well,he took about 5 months before telling me he actually like me when I actually had been going after him for so long (laughing)

Haruna : really?

Tsubaki : Well then Haruna.I shall thank you for letting me explain everything.Because I was in doubt at first.to let go of pride or just stay selfish and be the old me.But I suppose,I know why Hiiro fall for you.You are one charming girl.

Tsubaki then put her hands inside her pocket and put out a silver bracelet.

Tsubaki : Here,I actually bought this for my daughter but it was too big and..my daughter is not here.

Haruna : You are married?

Tsubaki : I am not.I was pregnant years ago but I miscarriaged.Bought this for her but I think it is too big for her,decided to wait until she grow up but then things just don’t always follow your plans. Take it Haruna.I think it belongs to you now.I actually thought of naming my daughter Haruna,so that’s why,the name “ Haruna” is already engraved on the metal.

Haruna look at the silver bracelet and to her surprise,her name “Haruna” was actuall engraved on the silver metal.

Tsubaki reached for Haruna’s hand and placed the bracelet into her palm.

Tsubaki : Keep it *winks.

Haruna : Tsubaki-san..

Tsubaki ; Alright,I should be going.Mika would kill me if I sit here any longer.I paid for the drinks.You can call her now.And…do me a favor?

Haruna : What is it?

Tsubaki : Be happy alright.Be a keeper.

Tsubaki quickly stood and bowed to haruna before leaving Haruna alone at the table.Haruna was still speechless after everything that had happened but then she quickly snapped out and called out tsubaki’s name.

Haruna : Tsubaki!

Tsubaki : (turning around)

Haruna : Everything is written for each and one of us.You’ll find yours(smiles)

Tsubaki : (smiling) I’ll remember that one Haruna.

Nao : What?

Hiroto : Hiro is seeing Mika’s sister?

Nao : Odera-san is not her real sister.More like a bond-like sister but yes he is.

Koichi : I haven’t met Odera-san yet.I bet she must be as pretty as Mika-san.

Tora : Well well well.Just wait till the annual dinner.I am sure Mizuhara-sama would love them boys to bring their girls to the dinner.

Nao : Precisely yes.
