Hanna stirred in her sleep; sunlight warmed her face as she slowly adjusted her position, noticing that her head was lying, instead of the hard barks of a tree, but on something warm and soft. She slowly opened her eyes and in doing so, met his smoldering brown gaze. She smiled at him and started to sit up.
"Ohayou," Hanna said, yawning a little.
He chuckled before answering her. He watched her as she silently stood up and tried to fix her hair, which was always a mess in the morning. He chuckled again remembering those mornings that he usually saw her with that style of hair.
"What are you laughing at there?" she pouted. "You're laughing at me, huh?"
"Actually, I remembered someone who always has that style of hair every morning," he said, smiling wider now.
"Is he a friend of yours?"
"She," he emphasized. "Is my one and only childhood friend that I love the most."
"Hmm," Hanna murmured. She walks towards a nearby clearing and sat beside it. She felt odd after hearing the words he had just said.
"Do you know where she is right now?" she asked, then, "Why isn't she with you?"
Hao sat beside her and gazed at the running water. "I know where she is right now. But I don't think she remembers me anymore."
"Why?"
"You know, you really have so many questions about her, huh?"
"Oh," she sighed. "Sorry.
"Do you love her?" she blurted out unexpectedly.
Hao turned his gaze on her eyes and looked at her seriously. Hanna blushed and looked down at her hands. He smiled at her reaction and asked, "Do you really want to know who she is?"
"Umm," she murmured stiffly. "You don't need to tell me if you don't want to."
Hao laughed at her words. She did change a little. She's more mature now than before. He remembered her always asking him a string of questions and insisting him to answer all of it.
"You're laughing again at me!" Hanna pouted. 'Why is he always laughing so suddenly?'
"I'm not laughing at you!" Hao said, smiling widely at her. "Something just occurs to me so suddenly."
"Oh." 'I bet it's that girl again,' she thought.
Then he suddenly turned serious and asked her, "How about you? Do you love someone?"
Hanna's thoughts halted and she turned to ask him, "What?"
"I asked you if you have someone you love," he replied as he placed his hand on her hair and ruffled it.
"Hey! Stop it!" she shouted. Hanna really hates it when someone messes her hair. She remembered that she had punched someone on the face who had suddenly messed her hair when she was trying hard to fix it one morning.
Little did she know that that someone was Hao. He laughed again at her reaction. Good thing she didn't punched him right now. "Well?" he persisted.
Hanna didn't answer him. She just stared madly at him. 'Oh!' she thought. 'If only I could really punch you right now!'
Hao sensed her anger. He knows that she's mad at him for doing it. But he just can't suppress his urge to mess her hair. He always does it when they were together.
He sighed and touched he cheek, 'Better apologize now or you'll be sorry,' he said to himself.
"I'm sorry, Hanna. I didn't mean to make you mad. Will you forgive me?" And he met his brown eyes on her green ones.
Hanna sighed, composing herself. She slowly smiled and said, "Alright. I'll forgive you. But, in one condition."
"What's your condition, Hanna-chie?"
"Well, it's just that, I can't tell you who the one I'm in love with is," she said slowly. 'It's because you can't remember him, yet.' She said to herself. "Is it okay with you?"
Hao sighed. He's a little disappointed on what she said, but, what can he do? He had promised her. "It's alright but, can I also ask you a favor?"
She shrugged, "It depends on what it is."
"Well, he groped for the words he wants to say to her. "Can you stay with me a little longer? Maybe, six days, is it okay with you?"
'He wants me to stay with him for six days? What's he up to?' "Hmm. Ok." She said. "But, can you tell me the reason for asking me to stay?"
"It is because I want to...know you more," he said simply. "And I still want to be together with you."
"Me too," Hanna said suddenly, she was shocked at her words. "Oops. Sorry," she smiled shyly at him.
"It's fine for me." Hao said. "I'm happy that you feel the same way too." He stood up and extended his hand on her, waited as she placed her hand on his, and helped her stood up, her eyes filled with questions.
"Well," he said, grinning. He folded his hands on hers and held it tightly. "What are we waiting for?" He led her towards an open space and called his spirit.
Hanna smiled at his actions. She can feel that his heart filled with joy with her words. She followed him, calling her spirit happily.
