Honestly, I'm lack of confidence to write in English because English is not my daily language. So, I just want to say "I'm sorry for my bad English" here.

Story 1

"I love you. This feeling is sincere. Maybe you haven't loved me yet. But believe me, I will make you fall in love with me and make me be the one in your mind "

Sunlight broke through the window. Umi slowly opened her eyes and tried to close the incoming light with her palm. A moment later she realized that she was not alone on the bed. The ceiling of the room feels strange. Where is this? Umi tried to remember what happen last night. The woman who was beside her, who was holding her, reminded her everything.

Umi turned to the figure of the woman who lay hugging her, naked, so did she. Get rid of hair from her face (which was her first love), gently touched her soft cheeks. Suddenly a dream, more precisely a glimpse of the past, approached her. Umi freezes.

The woman was awakened by Umi's touch. Seeing lovingly, but a moment later she be a little panicked "Umi, are you okay?" The woman wiped the tears that fell from her eyes.

Umi who finally realized, immediately wiped her tears completely. "Sorry, did I wake you up?"

"Hm ..." The woman shook her head with a smile. "It's time to wake up," she said later.

"Eli, I ..."

Eli closed Umi's mouth with his index finger "Get up, I'll make you breakfast". That way Eli got up from her bed. Looking for something to wear because her body is not wrapped in a single thread. "You can use anything that is in the closet, I wait in the kitchen"

Umi wrapped her face with her palm, trying to stay conscious. How could this happen? I'm really bad. Forgive me.

Umi knew about this apartment, only this room, Eli's bedroom had been unfamiliar to her because only this room she had never been entered. Slowly her feet stepped into the kitchen, looking for a blond figure that was not difficult to find. Eli who is aware of Umi's presence welcomes her with a smile.

I'm very happy if you did it two years ago. Umi smiled back "Ohayou"

"I'm just about to wake you up."

"I don't think you need to do it now, I'm already here"

"Sit down"

"Hm ..." Umi nodded. Shifting a chair across Eli.

Their breakfast was quiet. That's because Umi is still awkward, or maybe because Umi has too many thoughts that ignores the beautiful figure in front of her.

"You're much more quiet after all this time"

Umi smiled lightly "Not so, many things have happened. I just don't know how to start "

"You can start by asking me how"

"It's like you took my cheer, you look more relaxed"

"I just don't want to regret anything else"

Umi froze, her gaze pointing at Eli's eyes who were also staring at her. She wanted to say something but only her mouth opened without making a single noise.

"Your presence, that's what I look forward to most. I think, it will be impossible to meet you again. If we finally reunite, I think this is a good sign. I love you "

Umi turned her face away. Grasping the spoon and fork in his hand tightly, holding back any feeling of pleasure which eventually leads to too much guilt. If only you said that two years ago, I would be the happiest person in the world. Umi bit her lip, very hard to hold back pain in her heart. Her lips might bleed if Eli didn't immediately awaken from her mind.

"Umi ... Hey, Umi, are you okay?"

This is the second time Eli asks her, still with an anxious face.

"Of course, sorry I'm daydreaming"

"Hmm, it's okay"

Eli's anxious face had not faded, this made Umi felt guilty, again. This is really bad. What kind of bastard am I?

"Eli, I'll be out for a while" Umi stood up from her seat, bursting out of the kitchen. Take the jacket she left in the lobby.

Umi needs it, needs to get out of this situation. It might even need to come out of this reality. This is too stifling, too painful. Like sowing salt in a wound.

At the right time Eli was able to catch up and reach her hand "I thought you promised me not to go anywhere anymore" the panic was clearly visible from her face, her tears piled up at the end of her eyes ready to fall.

Umi can't see it, she wants to say I love you too, I'll stay. But her guilt was greater than her love so that she could not stand it anymore. Umi holds Eli's hand that holding her hand, a tear falls on her cheek. Umi took a breath "I'll be back, for now I need to calm down" Umi released Eli's hand from her.

At that moment Eli's tears broke. As if this was a bad sign for her. As if Umi won't want to come back anymore.

This is a difficult situation for Umi. Just one step feels heavy. So she had to turn to Eli. Wipe her tears, hug her, and calm her.

"Give me time, I promise I'll be back. Stop crying, Eli "Umi hugged her tightly while rubbing her back.

"When I found you in the park that night, I thought this was the Happy ending. Am I wrong?"

Umi shook her head but could not answer Eli's question. Do I deserve a happy ending?

Time pass by and they don't know how long they embraced each other.

"I'll be back, I'll leave my stuff here so you can be sure I'll come here again to take it"

Umi releases her arms when she is sure Eli will not cry anymore. She gave a smile and prepared to open the door when her apartment doorbell rang.

Eli opened the door, shocked to see Maki and Honoka carrying a shopping bag in their hands while saying "SURPRIIIIIIIISE". Eli was shocked, but the two were even more shocked to see Umi behind Eli.

Umi realized that she was noticed by her two friends, she was aware of the meaning of the shocked faces of the two. Currently Umi really doesn't want to deal with them.

"What are you doing here, Umi?" And Maki's unfriendly face asked Umi.

"Umi chan, I think you and ..."

"Stop that Honoka, its over" Umi cut while passing from the presence of the three. Her face clearly held back bitterness.

"What happened? What do you know and I don't know? "Eli's face began to get serious.

"Hah, I think it will be a fun day. I didn't think it would turn out like this, "complained Maki, whose face turned frustrated.

"Never mind Maki-chan. How about we just prepare a little party that we planned before? "

"Hey, you don't answer my question"

"Eli-chan, I promise to say it. But not in this lobby "

In the end, only Honoka prepared their little party. The atmosphere is far from the party. Maki is still upset, maybe because of Umi, Eli looks nervous and impatient because she wants to find out about Umi who she does not know yet and this is where Honoka, trying to become the mood maker.

"Hey, how about drinking something?"

"Eli, what happened between you and Umi?" Regardless of Honoka's invitation, Maki immediately revealed her anxiety.

"I don't know why you so upset, Maki"

"But she ..." Maki stopped when she realized some hickey on Eli's neck "You ..." With an unbelieving face, Maki buried her body into the sofa and rubbed her face with the palm of her hand.

"Why are you so frustrated?" Eli looked confused, but also curious.

"She already has someone else Eli" Maki snapped emotionally.

Eli choked. This is too sick to know. She should not demand to be told the truth.

"But Umi said, it's over "Honoka cut in, she gripped her drink tightly, looked down trying to understand what had happened.

Her two friends turned to her, full of questions.

"You know, since returning to Tokyo, both of them started fighting. Initially just something small, a matter of trust, but it gets worse and worse. Finally I told Umi to propose Kotori, so that she believed that Umi was really serious about her. At first she refused because she felt very embarrassed, but when I said that proposing to her was proof of the seriousness of their relationship and the best way to make Kotori believe in her love, Umi finally agreed. If Umi isn't with Kotori today, maybe something bad happened to their relationship," Honoka said at length.

"If their relationship does not go well, it does not mean she has to vent his frustration to Eli"

"Maki-chan, I think your speech has begun to overlook. It's true I regretted Umi-chan's actions, but I'm sure there are good reasons behind it all. We just don't know it yet "

Maki seemed to disagree with Honoka's statement. According to her, Umi is still a bastard who easily moves to another woman when her woman is not beside her.

"You're right Honoka, we just don't know. I will wait for him to reveal everything to me "

"Woi, Eli. Are you aware of what you say? She could have gone to meet her woman, now "

Honoka got up from her seat and lifted the collar of Maki's shirt "I thought I told you that you started to miss Maki. I don't like you humbling my best friend "

This is the first time Maki and Eli have seen Honoka's anger. At least Maki shuddered and turned away from Honoka's angry gaze. A moment later Honoka came to her senses and released her grip. "I know her, she wouldn't make the painfull face like that before, if it wasn't in a very bad condition. Even this is the first time I saw she be like that "

Maki and Eli be silent. "I think I'm going to leave, this situation is getting uncomfortable" so Honoka moved from her place. A moment later, Maki followed her without a word.

Now Eli lives with all her thoughts. Maybe I'm too naïve if I expect a happy ending to be easy. Of course this won't be easy. Eli recalls, how did Umi cry this morning on her bed, or how Umi's face was not cheerful at the dinner table, or how Umi seemed to hold back her bitterness and sadness when she embraced Eli before leaving earlier.

In the middle of her mind, her eyes accidentally found a cellphone that was not hers. And Eli immediately realized that it was Umi's. With trembling hands she pressed the power button. Lock screen from the cellphone only made the wound in her heart. There were seen two women taking selfies, the gray ash hair kissing the blue hair's cheeks that closed one eye. Implied intimacy in the photo. From the photo it can be seen that the relationship between them is not limited to friends, but rather lovers.

Tears began to fall from her cheeks. It could be that the relationship is not over yet and Umi will back to her. It could have been just one night stand for Umi, just an outlet for her sadness because she kept on fighting with her girlfriend. That all can happen, considering that Umi hasn't even exchanged the lock screen.

Eli found the Umi's camera, saw the catch of Umi's picture. Eli sighed, realizing that what she would see later would hurt her a lot. Beginning with a picture of a child playing snowballs, the image continues on the Christmas tree on the roadside, several pairs of young people who are on a date, continue to press the previous button and the thing they fear is happening. The figure of the woman with gray hair exactly the same as the woman on the Umi's lockscreen began to decorate photos in various activities. A video, which Eli initially hesitated to press the play button, but there was an encouragement to hers to do it. The video was played this time not the gray hair adorned the screen, but the blue hair she loved. The sound of the video echoed in Eli's living room.

"Hey, Umi-chan, say you love me"

"Kotori, what are you doing with my camera"

"Hehehe"

"Don't say you're recording"

"I said, say you love me, don't you love me, Umi-chan?"

"Of course I ... lo.. love you, Kotori"

"Say it correctly"

"I'll say, but turn the camera off"

"I don't want to, I want to record it"

"Okay Okay"

The camera focus no longer catches the figure of the blue hair, for a few seconds the sound of a sigh is followed by the phrase "I love you too much, so I can't think of anyone other than you" in a slow and deep voice.
