The Daily Life of MaYuki Family #53

#53 - Is it okay like this?

After Madoka confessed to Natsu, she ran away and stayed at her best friend's house. She didn't wanted to go home, or rather, she didn't want to go back to Natsu's house. Weekends, After they come back from work, Rena and Jurina rushed to where their daughter is as they were contacted by their daughter's best friend. When they arrived, they found out that their daughter has been locking herself in the room for the past few days  making them worry. Knowing that her daughter wouldn't tell her anything, Jurina asked Madoka's best friend but her wife, Rena, said that she would talk to their daughter. . . Rena:  Madoka-chan *knocks* Madoka: Kaachan? Rena:  Can I come in? Madoka : Hai Rena: Are you okay? *sweet smile* Madoka: un *looks away* Rena: Are you sure? *saw her daughter's swollen eyes* Madoka: un.. Rena: I don't know if you're just worried that it would trouble us or you're not the type to tell us your problems but we're still your parents and we are worried about you Madoka: S-sorry kaachan... Rena: so, is it okay to talk about your problems? Madoka: hm *bites lips* Rena: It’s okay if you don’t want to talk about it *hugs* *pats head* Rena: sorry, we've been busy at work.. but just remember we are here for you, okay? Whatever happens we are on your side. Madoka: Okaachan can we move to other place? Rena: Eh? 

Madoka: Please okaachan Rena: Hmm.. okay.. but why do you want to move place? and to where? Madoka: Anywhere.. It's just that.. I don't want to be around with her anymore Rena: Is it Natsumi-chan? Madoka: ... Rena: Did something happened between the two of you? You two have been very close. Madoka: I.. I fell in love with her kaachan.. *tear drops* this is the first time I feel this but it hurts.. so much... Rena: I see.. *pats head* *worried* Rena let her daughter cry on her chest until she calmed down Rena: Are you sure about this? Madoka: She's someone I could never have so it would be better to move away and forget her.. Rena: Okay then I’ll talk to your Touchan about it. *wipes Madoka’s tear* stop crying okay? Madoka: un.. Rena: we can't still move away from this city since both of our work is in here but we can move to another house so is that okay for now? Madoka: *nods* Jurina after knowing what happen, immediately bought the house that they were originally planning to buy after sometime Yuki offered their house to stay. And it's actually quite far from MaYuki residence. She was worried about leaving her daughter alone in the house when they were planning to move in Tokyo, so that was the reason why they accepts Yuki's offer  and moved to Mayu's place but seeing her daughter like this, made her think if she made a mistake. Jurina called Mayu that there were moving away and would just visit her after they come home. Yuki and Mayu talked about it but didn't told their daughters. ******** It was already Sunday night.. After the celebration,  The MaYuki family is on their way home. While on the trip, Natsu keeps on sighing and the talk she had with her cousin keeps flashing on her mind. **** flashback **** Aoi: You said you love Jiina? Then why don't you want that? Natsu: I do but it's just that... *recalls what happened* it's just that madoka, she's crying.. Natsu:  I don't want that.. Aoi: of course, she would cry! Naachan is an idiot! Natsu: eh? Aoi: didn't chiichan cried too? Natsu: unn.. *deep sigh* Aoi: so what do you intended to do? Natsu: I- don’t know Aoi: You said all of us is important to you but  I wonder who really is more important to you Nattan? Natsu: eh? *startled* Aoi: *sigh* I know you know it.. No.. you should know this..  Please think about it carefully, I know you consider us to be important to you but there will always be someone who will get hurt in the end. **** end flashback **** After a while, the MaYuki family arrived at their house. Natsu startled seeing Jurina alone in the living room. Mayu: oh- you finish packing Jurina? Natsu's thought: eh? packing? Jurina: Yeah, *smiles* Will just pick up the other things and here’s the key thank you for having us Mayu. Mayu: Sure there's no problem, our parents did raise us like a family after all. Jurina: Yeah.. and uh, Mayu can we talk? also *Looks at natsu* Natsu: eh? *sweats* Jurina: Can i talk to you too, Natsu? Natsu: h-hai *nervous* Mayu: Then, Let’s go to the backyard before you go Jurina: hm sure thing And then Mayu and Jurina went to the backyard followed by Natsu who was internally freaking out. - at the backyard Mayu: *waiting for Jurina to talk* Jurina: *sigh* Natsu: *gulp* Jurina: You know, I'm actually mad at you natsu. Mayu: Jurina.. Natsu: *scared* Jurina: Well, it's just that it hurts me to see my daughter like that. But I know I shouldn't interfere. Mayu: *silent* Jurina: You know.. that kid, we often leave her alone at home because of our work, she'll just say it's okay so we shouldn't worry about her and she wouldn't tell us that she's feeling lonely. Jurina: That's why when we moved here, I was hoping that she wouldn't feel lonely anymore.. And I was actually happy since I often see her smile, laugh often.. but now.. Natsu: I'm really sorry *looks down* Jurina: Sorry huh.. Actually If you are not my best friend's daughter I would really get angry for breaking my only daughter's heart you know *laughs* Natsu: *stiffen* Mayu: that's to be expected of course, if i were you i would also feel like that.. but things are.. *sigh* Jurina: yeah, we should have not forced our daughters to be engaged, right? *silence* Jurina: well, I have one favor to ask to Natsu though Natsu: eh? Jurina: Please stay away from my daughter for now. don't make my daughter be hurt again Natsu: but- *shocked* Jurina: Please. If you don't like her, just stay away from her. Natsu: It's not that i don't like her— Jurina: *firm look* Natsu: well I.. Jurina: I'm begging you Natsu. Please. Natsu: *speechless* Jurina: well then.. *pats natsu's shoulder* I should probably leave now. *smile* Mayu: ok, take care on your way Jurina. Jurina: yeah, I'll go ahead now. Thanks again Mayu. **** After Jurina left, the Mayuki residence was silent.. Natsu wanted to apologize thinking that she gave her parents a trouble but words couldn't come out.. She didn't know what to say so instead she just went to her room. Natsu: *looks around* so empty on her bed, she notice there was a teddy bear sitting Natsu: *sat on the bed* this.. *looks at the stuffed toy* Natsu: the teddy bear that I gave her.. she leave it behind.. *frowns* Natsu:  natsu-chan (the teddy bear's name)  *sigh* *remembers first time she and Madoka met on her room* (a/n : reference, chap 4)  - - - - "I'll sleep in the bed and you on the floor" "Madoka: Hey! Natsumi!Hey!" "I want more pillows here! Natsumi!" "Why are you so red right now?" "kyaa!" "chuu!"  - - - - Natsu: *laughs* that was actually my first kiss.. can you believe that.. Natsu: we used to always argue with each other.. but surprisingly we got close huh.. *hugs teddy bear* Natsu: ... can't we just go back like before? . . Natsu: I’m sorry maachan, please come back. *phone’s ringing* Natsu looked at it. It’s jiina calling her. Natsu: *answers phone* Jiina: already at home?

Chapter 4: More than you could ever know (END)

The day of, she’s surprised to find that she’s not nervous.  She feels ready.  She could almost describe herself as feeling...excited?  Or is she misinterpreting the adrenaline running through her?  

Her gown, hanging in the closet of her dressing room backstage, glitters despite the dark fabric.

An expensive gift from her workaholic father.

Who’s actually taking a night off from the 10:00 newscast to attend her first solo concert.

He never attended her competitions after her first one due to his work schedule, and they both reasoned that he heard enough of her practicing at home for him to know exactly what she would sound like in the concert hall, and it wasn’t worth his time if she was just one among many players.

It was his expectation that she would win in those days.  

He hardly ever gave her anything beyond a “well done.”  No flowers, no hugs, no wide smiles.  Well, he was never an affectionate person, anyway.  She grew up lonely, simply hoping for his approval in everything she did.  And then, later, just trying to not be a bother or cause him worry of any kind.

She remembers she was stomach-achingly terrified to tell him that she wanted to stop competitions.

He had looked at her, attention fully on her, eyes narrowing, before asking, “Why?”

She could hardly get air to her lungs, but she hardened her resolve.  “I want to focus on composition,” she somehow managed to say with hardly a tremor in her voice.

He paused, nodded, said, “Alright,” and that was that.

Maybe she should have expected such simple support.  After all, the most she ever hears him speak is during his news reports.  And she realized…he never forced her to compete.  He never forced her to practice.  He just paid for the lessons.

She just felt those expectations.  Her father never actually said them.

She figured out during her year abroad in college that he expresses his care through working.  Providing.  Making money so that she can live comfortably and continue her passion.

She had always been grateful for everything he does, but once she framed it as his way of showing love to her, she started emailing him with her college stories more often.

He replied to every single one.

And he asked that she send him recordings of all of her compositions, no matter how short it was.  She wondered if he missed hearing her play, though he never specifically said that.

So it shouldn’t have come as a surprise to her when he told her he wanted to attend her concert.

But it was really a huge surprise.

She fingers the silky fabric, heat coming to her eyes, a welling of emotion in her chest that she takes a deep breath through.  In a few hours, she’ll be wearing this gown and bowing before an audience.

The number of people doesn’t matter to her.  She would be happy with just an audience of her father.

“Hinata?”  Two knocks on her ajar door interrupt her musings.  “Your door’s open so I’m assuming--”

“Oh, yes!”  She swipes her eyes quickly, gathering her tears away.  “I’m ready to go.”

“Great!”  Naruto pokes his head through the door, then widens it for her to step through.  “We’re just going to one of our favorite cafes down the street.”

“Okay.”

She notices, again, his charming smile.  Today, too, he’s grinning at her in a way that makes her lips pull up, makes her wonder what he’s always smiling about.  She hopes he smiles like that later...when she gives him her thank you gift.

“How are you feeling for tonight?” he asks conversationally.

“Mmm…”  She feels emotional.  She feels readier than ever for a performance.  “I feel good.”

“Yeah?”

“My father is coming tonight.”

“Oh, that’s great!”

She nods, agreeing with his words more than he could possibly realize.

She feels great.

*

Despite everything he’s come to learn about her over the course of the week, he’s surprised.

On stage, in front of an audience just for her, she’s relaxed, at ease, focused...a picture of elegance.  Dressed in a figure-fitting midnight gown, she’s beyond stunning, like she was born to be on the stage in the spotlight.

Her form when she bows to the audience.  Her poise at the piano as she plays.  And then...her sound.

He heard her in the drama and on her website’s recordings.  Her heard her during her warm-ups and the parts she played at the rehearsal.

It’s not the same.

It’s no mystery to him at all how she won so many competitions.  How she got this opportunity through the drama.  Yes, talent.  Certainly, hard work.  But it takes more than knowing the instrument to make it on your own.

A musician’s charisma, an energy and emotion amplified before an audience.

Her sound touches and stirs his imagination, to the point he can clearly remember the same impact the drama had in certain scenes.  Or recall the stories she told him about the people she’s met and places she’s been to.

Even without the lighting he designed for tonight’s show, she would still be spectacular to see and listen to live.

He can see what every judge or observer noticed before him.  This girl is going places.  She’s in love with music, and music returns her love twice-fold.

Does she even have space for someone like him in her life?

*

She never much enjoyed speaking into a microphone, but after holding the entire audience captive for over an hour with her music, she doesn’t feel embarrassed.  She gives her little speech more easily than she predicted to thank everyone for coming, Picture Tomorrow’s production team and staff who are in attendance, her piano instructor, her father.

It was one of the best performances she’s ever given.

It amazes her that the night is nearly over.  She made it through without making a fool of herself.

And so many people helped her for a night like tonight.  So she takes a stabilizing breath and continues, “Finally, thank you to the HKT team--”  She extends an arm toward the booth in the house, then to her right, toward the workers off-stage, toward Naruto.  “--for helping me put together this show for tonight.  I have one last song, not listed on the program, that I composed this week to show my appreciation.  It’s called… ‘At home in your smile.’”

She gives a bow, then returns to her seat.

She easily finds the smooth keys, like gentle water beneath her touch.

She smiles, as she always does when she thinks of him.

The notes translate from her fingers into the afternoon breeze kissing laughing cheeks, rich trees throwing sun-spotted shadows on historic streets, an irreplaceable warmth she’ll remember forever in the rhythms of a familiar downtown charm, golden, blue, and hopeful beats.

It’s his song.

Filling the darkest, tallest corners of the theater.  Lively tones chasing each other playfully in a game of light, air, and saturated color.  His sound glowing against each person’s skin, mind, and heart.

Now everyone can know just a fraction of what she’s seen and felt since meeting him.  How she’s never met anyone so unguardedly cheerful.  So at ease in himself and with others, as if he has all of himself to give, none of himself to hold back.  He’s that one summer’s day so acute in youthful abandon--nothing could ever be so perfect, nothing will ever again be so perfect.

How he embodies a dream is one she could explore over and over again, let the music carry her through the complexities of his mind, let every chord delight in her contemplation.

It’s so easy for her soul to sing to him.

She’s written many songs inspired by people she has met in passing, yet she’s never gifted these secret melodies in the transitions of her life.

But for once it only felt right that he know.

And when the curtains are drawn, the lingering applause finally dies, and the murmurings of the audience rise and fall away, she knows that now is the time to tell him.

She nears the wings, and he starts clapping again, his refreshing smile wide and sincere, welcoming her.  “That was great, Hinata!  Really amazing!!  More incredible than the rehearsal, and that last song!  Wow!  I can’t believe you made that in a week!”

“Thank you--”  Her breath catches for a second, her sudden hesitation inexplicable.

A voice comes over his headset, his expression turning to business immediately as he answers.

The curtains of the wings on the opposite side are pulling up, and men are already starting to push the piano off-stage.

She quickly realizes that he’s still working.

He’s busy.

And whatever she was planning on saying, whatever it was she wanted to say, doesn’t have a place right now.

She can feel the adrenaline of the show swiftly beginning to drain from her body, embarrassment shifting into the place where confidence once stood.

What was it she wanted to say, anyway?

And what response was she hoping for from him?

She doesn’t even know him that well!

He just knows a lot about her, she shared so much about herself because he asked so many questions during their meeting, and did that all go to her head?  The connection she feels with him must be one-sided...to him...she’s just another performer he’s working with…

She heads toward the doors to backstage, hoping to make a quick escape from her near-mistake.

“Hinata!  Wait!”

She pauses, one hand on the door.

“The strike will be really fast.”  He gestures behind him, where the main curtains are pulling up, revealing an empty house and a bare stage.  “We only have to take the lights down, and uh.  I have something to give you after, so before you leave, well, even if we’re not done yet, can you come back?”

She blinks at him.  Something to give me?  Flowers?  A card?  Or just something she accidentally forgot on a previous day?

“You can just call out at me if I don’t notice right away,” he adds, an uncertain look beginning to pinch on his face.  “It won’t take long if..uh..your dad’s waiting for you?...”

She nods quickly, hoping to ease his misgivings.  “I’ll come back.  And my father will meet me at home.”

His smile is a lot smaller than his usual, his jaw working like he’s processing a secret, then turns around to help the rest of the crew.

She hurries back to her dressing room.  And as she changes her clothes, she can’t help feeling a slight constriction in her chest, a slight sickness in her gut.

But it’s not unpleasant.

It’s too giddy.

She doesn’t want to hope for anything.  She doesn’t want to lead herself on.  It might really be nothing.  Or even if it is flowers, maybe he does that for all the performers.  Maybe it’s a HKT tradition among the crew to gift the performer a little something.

She gathers her things, trying to steady the race of her heart.

She opens her door--

He’s standing right there, leaning against the wall.

Her heart spasms with surprise.

“Sorry, did I scare you?”  He straightens.

She’s panting from the shock.

“Sorry,” he says again, but he looks like he wants to laugh.

He’s holding a bouquet of bright orange roses.

She blinks at it, trying to compose herself.  Could that be for her?  But maybe it’s not for her, it could be for someone else--who else would it be for, though?  It must be for her... “...Are you guys done already?”

“Oh, no, but, it’s okay.”  He lifts up the bouquet.  “This is for you.”

She stares for a second before taking it.  This is really for me?  Well, of course it is.  “Wow,” she breathes.  “Thank you.”

He’s standing there, still, just smiling.

She doesn’t know what to say.  She can only smile back. “...Orange roses.”

“Haha, yeah,” he laughs, his eyes drifting away as if he’s embarrassed by a memory.  “I know it’s weird, maybe I should’ve just gone with the red?  I would’ve gotten pink, but there weren’t any, but with the red roses, I didn’t want to come off as...yeah.”  He abruptly stops himself there, suddenly staring straight at her.  “...Would you--”

“Oh no I--”  She realizes she spoke at the same time as him.

He shakes his head, biting his lips.  “Go on.”

“Ah, sorry.”  She doesn’t want to make this any more awkward, so she continues, “I just wanted to tell you that I love them.  I’ve never gotten orange roses before.  They’re beautiful.”

He smiles, significantly happier than before.

“And…”  She takes a deep breath.  She can’t believe she’s about to tell him this, but he really deserves to know.  “You know that last song I played tonight?”

He nods.

“It was inspired by you,” she murmurs, only just loud enough for him to hear.

She watches his face morph--his blue eyes widen, his pleased smile shift into confusion.  “Uhh, that last song not on the program?”

She nods.

“You wrote it about me?”  He points to his chest as if he needs to make sure.

She nods again, nerves making her bounce on her toes a bit.  “I am really glad to have met you,” she starts, finding self-assurance in the truth of it.  “I loved coming here and working with...with you and seeing your smile.  Your smile brightens even the darkest theater.”

His jaw drops slightly, red visibly tinging his cheeks.  His expression bursts into a grin, which he quickly covers with his hand, seemingly now self-conscious to show her the subject of her composition.

She really can’t help smiling just as goofily as him.

“Ahh!” he strongly exclaims, his arms falling wide open, hands stretched out before clenching tightly shut.

She jumps, only to quickly see that he’s still just as happy as before.

“Aw man, Hinata!"

The juxtaposition of his words and expressions confuse her, but she loves that about him, too.  "...Naruto-kun?"

His grin softens.  "Go on a date with me!”  He gazes earnestly at her.  “Will you go on a date with me?”

She nods, a blush of her own overtaking her cheeks.  “Mhm, I'd like that.”

He sighs, as if letting go of a huge weight.  “Great!” He’s smiling at her, wide, unguarded, pure.  “That’s great.”

She nods.  It really is.  She’s already looking forward to it.  More than he could possibly know.

“Monday.  Lunch?  Is that okay?”

“Mhm.”

“Can I call you?”

“Uh-huh,” she affirms again, still soaking in his smile, still helplessly smiling back.

“Can I walk you out?”

“Mhm.”

“I’ll call you to sort out details.  I can’t wait for Monday,” he shamelessly adds.

“Me, too.”

He stops at the doorway to outside, gazing at her.

Before she can second-guess herself, she tiptoes, planting a quick kiss on his cheek.  “Thank you for the roses.  Thank you for everything.”  She steps back, reveling in his awed silence, gratified by his look of bliss, and then reluctantly waves good-bye.

He stands at the entrance, watching her go, until she turns the corner and can’t see him anymore.

He’s sweet.  The sweetest guy she’s ever met.

And already she can hear a new, bubbling melodic tune in her heart.  Only the second one of many more she’s certain she’ll tenderly grow in her wonder of his everything, in her efforts to capture each shared moment more perfect than the last.

No matter how their date will end, she knows she’s found someone special.

He’s going to change her, irreparably, certainly.

But she thinks…

She wants to be that person.  She’ll be more herself than ever before.

She really can’t wait.

He feels suffocated.

That’s what it’s like to take his first breath.

Suffocation... He can’t breathe. How does he breathe?

He suffocates.

He opens his mouth, and he takes another deep breath, and the lights dance in front of his still-closed eyes.

Even though he’s breathing now, he still feels like he’s suffocating.

Natsu: aoi-tan *pats aoi who's laying , facing down on the bed* Aoi: ...... Natsu: what should i do so that aoitan will be able to forgive me? Aoi: .... Natsu: please~ tell me.. i don't want aoitan to be mad at me, so please~ Aoi: *sits up facing natsu* nattan.. remember when we are still kids, how you always protects me, always care for me Natsu: un.. Aoi: that time you said that you will always be there for me.. that you wouldn't leave me, and i believed you.. i thought we will always be together Natsu: eh..? *startled* Aoi: you don't remember anymore? *tears* Natsu: no- it's not that.. of course i remember.. i did say that.. Aoi: *suddenly hugs natsu* Aoi: Back then, you were always prioritizing me before anyone but then, one day you told us you have a girlfriend.. Aoi: you already forgot what you promised.. Natsu: it's not that aoi *doesn't know what to say* Aoi: It is! i know it's bad but.. when you and Jiina broke up, i felt happy.. really happy. Natsu: eh? Aoi: but then you're always sulking.. crying.. you feel distant. I can't bear to see you like that.. I just want to be with you.. I want you to be happy nattan.. Aoi: *sniffs* *hugs tighter* Natsu: I- *speechless* *confused* *Aoi's thought: why..? why don't you just love me instead...* Natsu: aoitan? *Aoi's thought: no- why am i thinking like this.. * Aoi: *cries* Natsu: eh?!? don't cry aoitan *panics* Aoi: you— why are you even back with her again?! didn't she already left you?! Natsu: she did left me but she has her own reasons too Aoi: reasons? what kind of reason is that, enough to hurt you like that?!   Natsu: aoi, about that.. it's not her fault, please don't be angry at her. Aoi: it's not her fault that she left you?! really?! didn't she decided that on her own?! what will you do if she hurt you again nattan?! what if she leave you again? didn't you already learn your lesson? Natsu: Aoi, please understand. she has her own circumstances too. please give her a chance. Aoi: a chance of what ? Natsu:  I know that you are angry with her but she's a nice person, she also wanted to be friends with you, so please give her a chance. aoi.. you're a really important person to me, that's why I'm asking you— Aoi: so you're saying that, i should give a chance to accept her? Aoi's thought: stupid.. *pain* Natsu: aoi.. *hugs* it's not that! but please just give her a chance too.. Aoi: why did she left you? Natsu: well.. she kinda have family problems that time so.. well, you know.. Aoi: then why didn't you tell me anything about her returning back? Natsu:  that's... sorry, i didn't tell you.. Aoi: ... Natsu: well.. i know you would get angry so i couldn't say it.. Aoi: angry? do you think i would just get angry? Natsu: eh? Aoi: forget it! then, what about chii-chan? haven't you ever considered her feelings when you got back with your ex? Natsu: uh..? *sweats* Aoi: you know how chii-chan loves you, so why are you hurting her like this?! Natsu: h-how did you know.. Aoi: And what about mado-chan? didn't you ever consider her feelings too!? stupid nattan!! Natsu: w-what?! how did you know that— Aoi: why? why do you keep on hurting those who loves you nattan..? *painful expression* Natsu: *stunned* Aoi: tell me nattan.. *sniffs* do you- do you really love her? Natsu: eh? Aoi:  *firm look* Natsu: what kind of question is that, aoitan? Aoi: *leans over natsu* do you still love your ex? Natsu: that's... of c-courー *suddenly knocking on the door* Sakura: nee-chan, are you asleep? can i come in? Natsu: saku-chan? *rushes to the door* *heart beating* Sakura:  kaa-chan is worried about you.. *notices natsu's  expressions* are you okay, nee-chan? Natsu: I'm alright, don't worry *pats sakura* *smile* Sakura: alright.. ah, aoi-nee is here too? *sees aoi, sitting on natsu's bed* Natsu: uhm yeah Aoi: i was worried about her so i went to check her, saku-chan *smiles* Sakura: oh, ok.. but the food is now ready so should we go down now? and sofu is getting lonely Natsu: haha, is that so? we should really go down now, right aoitan? *looks at aoi* *helpless smile* Aoi: un..*small smile* *** On the way, the 3 were silent.. Sakura feels awkward and with the atmosphere, she is wondering if something else had happened besides her beloved sis' ex lover is back. Despite this she chose to stay silent and about it. Meanwhile, Natsu somehow felt conflicted. She feels somewhat relieved that her sister interrupted Aoi's interrogation even though she really wanted to talk to her and explain everything. While walking, Aoi often glances at Natsu feeling unsatisfied, from their talk and from Natsu's answer. * * Yuko: oh~ they're here! geez, i thought we'd die from hunger before you can get back here.. tsk.. tsk.. Natsu: eh..? sorry sofu.. ; Haruna: yuuchan—  can't you see natsumi-chan is still feeling sick? （；¬＿¬) Yuko: *gulp* hai sorry.. I'm just kidding you know.. mou~ Haruna: are you okay now? don't force yourself if you're not feeling well ok? Natsu: hai, thanks sobo *smile* Yuko: well then, let's have a feast! *** While eating,, Natsu thought she should try lessen their worry and smile more considering how worried her family is, but she flinches whenever their conversation involves madoka.. Haruna: so, why is jurina and rena didn't celebrate with us? did they have another business trip? Mayu: uhm.. yeah, that's right kaa-chan Haruna: hmm, i see.. what about their daughter? madoka-chan, you should've invited her over natsumi Natsu: *gulp* ah- yes Aoi: *looks at natsu from across the table* Yuki: we did invite her, but it seems she have another plan Haruna: i see.. well, i was hoping to see them since Yuuchan keep on telling me that finally we'll be a real family with her best friends Yuko: ahh- wait nyannyan Mayu: eh? Sayanee: what do you mean kaachan? Haruna: well you know a real family since natsumi-chan and madoka-chan engaged Natsu: *choked* Sakura: neechan? are you alright? Natsu: u-un.. Mayu: kaachan that's.. Haruna: hm? why? is Yuuchan only joking? *looks at yuko* Yuko: *shakes head* Mayu: uhm, it's that, even though we set it.. of course we want the kids to decide for their own self Haruna: hm, i see Sayanee: but isn't that a good thing, they look good together Aoi: *drops the utensil* Sayanee: aoi? Aoi: sorry hehe *smile* Milky: *looks at her daughter worried* Yuko: well, let's move on with that and talk about other things okay? Yuko: how about sakuchan? time really flies.. look at how my sakuchan had grown up Mayu: i know right, and she's going on a rebellious phase right now, it's so sad.. Yuko: haha, well that happens. But sakutan, don't you have someone important right now? it seems you're always holding your phone *teases* Mayu: Huh?! WHAT?! that can't be!! Sakutan, is that True?! tell me who is it?! *rage* Yuki: mayu, calm down.. Sakura: geez.. *mentally face palmed* **** After the celebration, Natsu sat on the bench outside to refresh herself. From afar, aoi saw her and is now gazing on her Milky: so, why is my baby alone here while making a sad face? Aoi: kaachan, I'm not a baby anymore Milky: really? *combs aoi's hair* Aoi: mou.. Milky: *giggles* well, you're still a baby since you keep on crying Aoi: i'm not.. *pouts* Milky: you do.. Aoi: but that's because.. *looks down* Milky: you know.. *pats aoi's head* it's not bad to cry if you're feeling sad or you're hurt but— crying too much and you'll get drowned..then will lose sight on the things that could make you happy Aoi: *looks at her mom* Milky: have you calmed down now? Aoi: somehow.. thanks kaachan Milky: why don't you go and talk to her again? *smiles* Aoi: un! *walks to where natsu is* Sayanee : *appears from behind* *about to call her daughter back but is stopped by her wife* Milky: let the kids do their own stuff okay? *smile* *drags sayanee on bedroom* Sayanee:    Σ(°△°|||)︴ eh? Aoi sat beside natsu who seems to be drowned from her own thoughts that she became oblivious, not noticing aoi approaching her. Aoi: i wonder what is nattan's thinking.. Natsu: *startled* Aoi: you seemed to be deep in thoughts, you're making a troubled face.. Natsu: am i? *laugh forcibly* Aoi: you are, well you still have the cute face tho Natsu: *sudden laugh* that's somehow rare Aoi: rare? you're not the only one who can be a sweet talker you know, hmp. Natsu: eh, i'm not a sweet talker Aoi: you are! and a play girl Natsu: eh, that's how aoitan view me? how sad.. Aoi: well, no matter you look at it, you are *laughs* Natsu: geez.. what's wrong with aoitan today, bullying me.. *laughs* Aoi: you finally laugh huh *smile* Natsu: *surprised* ah— Aoi: sorry i got mad at you nattan Natsu: no- it's my fault, i know i should've told you but I'm.. well kinda worried.. *nervous laugh* Aoi: hm.. Natsu: and that I'm scared.. Aoi: scared? scared that we would get angry? Natsu: well you know.. i don't want to hurt chiichan or madochan but i'm scared.. I'm such a fool.. Aoi: yeah you are.. and you know.. not only chiichan and madochan would be hurt, didn't you think that it would hurt me too? *leans on natsu* Natsu: aoi? Aoi: before madochan, even before chiichan.. you only care for aoi so I'm jealous.. Natsu: I didn't forget my promise, aoitan.. you're important to me and I'm always by your side when you need me Aoi : *gets up, looking at natsu*  really? Natsu: really Aoi: then what about chiichan? Natsu: chiichan is also very important, you know that. She had been always there for me when i need her, I- I don't want to lose her Aoi: what about madochan then? Natsu: She— She's important to me too.. even though we know each other for a short time, she became very special to me too.. Aoi: then? you do not plan on telling jiina about your engagement to her? Natsu: actually.. she already knew.. Aoi: eh?! then— Natsu: but madochan.. Aoi: hm? Natsu: madoka.. she break it off.. the engagement.. Aoi: don't you want that? *looks at natsu* Natsu: it's not that i don't.. it's that Aoi: it is what? Natsu: it is— uhm.. *confused* Aoi: you said you love jiina? then why don't you want that? Natsu: i do but it's just that... *recalls what happened* it's just that madoka, she's crying..
