hello! After so long~!

Finals ended today, so I immediately wrote!

Thank you all for being so patient, minna! I really love you all!

standard disclaimers apply.

On to the story!

"Hikaru-," Haruhi began. She didn't know what to say. She paced nervously, and then finally spoke. "We need to arrange for divorce, Hikaru."

"Why? Because you are not in love with me anymore? Because you have an affair? Hm. Well, Haruhi-" came the bitter reply.

"What? I don't have-" Haruhi was puzzled.

"I don't want this conversation, Haruhi. Just show up at the Academy, at the back of the South Wing."

Then Hikaru hung up.

Haruhi stared at her phone, dumfounded. She looked over to where Hunny and Mori were sitting, but all they showed were looks of sympathy. Haruhi frowned. "He thinks I have an affair."

"What?" Hunny asked, his expression clearly shocked. "Now that is irrational. Come on, we are talking to him in personal. We're going to your house."

"He said to meet him at the Academy," Haruhi said, sighing. "Senpai, I think I need some rest. Please excuse me. I… Tomorrow I shall talk to Hikaru at the Academy." She then turned to leave.

"I'll inform him," Mori said. "But Haruhi-" he called, and Haruhi turned back.

"Yes, senpai?" she asked. Her face showed all traces of frustration and anger, and Hunny bit his lip.

"Please think about why you're doing this." Mori stated, his eyes not moving, just focused on Haruhi.

Haruhi didn't even flinch. "I've thought about it already. It's over." Then, she walked out of the dining area, composed and regal.

Hunny sighed. "They've become irrational and blind. They won't even listen to us." He looked down and played with the vegetables on his plate.

"Mm. But that's why we're here, Mitsukuni," Mori replied, and with a smile, stood up. "I'm calling Hikaru and Kyouya."

My darling,

I love you. You are my reason for being, now and forever. Good luck, my love.There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.

Your sweet,

Jean-Pierre

Kaoru, where'd you get this? It is a quote from a book I sent to Haruhi a few weeks ago. This, in fact, was her favorite quote. Ah, she had always loved novels with forbidden romance as its plot. Have you perhaps borrowed it from her?

We were discussing it a week ago. She told me she had some difficulty in reading it as it was in French, but she is getting better.

She likes that particular quote because Hikaru had sent her a note similar to that a few years ago. Remember when their relationship was in such big strain? He had sent it to her. Aww.

Ah, I heard about Hikaru! Send to him my congratulations. And to Haruhi, too! I wish her flower shop may blossom and may be as prosperous as her and Hikaru's marriage.

I hope to see you soon, Kaoru.

Tamaki

Tamaki clicked on send. He was grinning, and he hoped Kaoru will be able to read his email as soon as possible. Reaching out for his phone, he picked it up and stood up, and admired the view of the Eiffel Tower. He smiled, contented, then his phone rang.

"Allo?" Tamaki said, faking a French accent. He wanted to prank Hikaru.

"Tono, I'm serious here. I want you to know that I'm having a divorce."

Tamaki stood frozen. Suddenly, he wasn't contented anymore.

Kyouya picked up his phone, surprised to see that Mori was calling him. "Mori-senpai. It has been a long time."

"Indeed, Kyouya. Ah... Have you heard about Hikaru and Haruhi?" Mori asked.

"Ah, yes, of course. The line and the flower shop. Things have been getting better for them, yes. But I need to talk to Haruhi... She has not been answering my calls for the past few hours. I do need a lawyer, you know." Kyouya said, and Mori could detect the exasperation in his tone.

"Do you need Haruhi to defnd for you?" Mori asked, fervently hoping he will hear no.

"Yes. In three days. It is sudden, I know, and as my lawyer cannot be contacted, I was not able to ask for a time extension. You see, this is just about a piece of land my father bought a few years ago, and now some people are claiming it. My father has hidden the title, and I cannot reach him either. Good Lord." Kyouya sighed.

"Haruhi... cannot defend you as of now. Tell the other party that I will fill in for her. You have my details, I will get you a time extension for just enough time until Haruhi can work."

"You? Oh... Okay. That would be fine. But, may I ask what has happened to Haruhi?"

"She's on the verge of filing for divorce. She had a fight with Hikaru. Oh, not exactly a fight, but it is so irrational I myself will not let her talk for anybody else, more so for you."

"A divorce? My. What happened?" Kyouya was definitely curious and puzzled, Mori can detect.

"Long story. Kyouya, I need to talk to your judge now... I'll tell you the story later."

"Alright, Mori-senpai. Ah... Thank you. And tell Haruhi and Hikaru to think their decision over. Goodbye."

"Yes, Kyouya. Goodbye."

Mori sighed. Today will be a long day of phone calls.

Haruhi frowned. She had just put her phone down after a long sermon from Kyouya which involves him saying why did she not inform him about her status, and that Mori was filling in for her. She felt bad, too, for the people in the flower shop had a really hard time with all the orders. She sighed, and then she felt really, really irresponsible. She should have waited for Hikaru to come home and should have talked to him about it.

"Oh, God. I hate myself. I dread tomorrow."

She let herself fall down on the bed, and curled up in a ball. Then she replayed in her mind Hikaru's note to her when they were twenty. He was leaving and will not return for a long time, and Haruhi was too busy with law school.

Haruhi. I love you, always remember that. I wish you the best. One day, we'll be together. We'll make this work, Haruhi. I am happy, that I love you, and that you love me. That is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I love you. Forever yours, Hikaru.

How could have things changed so easily? How could he accuse her of an affair, when he himself had an affair going on? Haruhi cried and cried, and couldn't understand anything.

Her only escape was sleep, and so she let herself fall in deep slumber.
