Yui looked directly to his eyes. She could see that he is sincere and the anger he felt a while ago faded away. His voice sounded so sweet when he said he really loves her…or at least his mind tells him he loves her…
"Okay then…I'll tell you what really happened…" Yui replied as she smiled at him.
Taka sat more comfortably now as he showed that he's listening to her. And so Yui began her story…

Mrs. Yuuki got more confused when Tetsuya suddenly spoke up. She stared from one man to another hoping for an explanation. Keisuke somehow understood his mother's confused stares at them and began the introductions.
"Mother, this is Mr. Gi Ayuru, AKA Nakago" Keisuke introduced the blonde man who nodded in respect.
"Oh, well, hi…I'm Keisuke and Miaka's mom. You can call me Mrs. Yuuki 'cause that's how my children's friends call me," she introduced herself as she shook hands with him. "Now, you have more reasons to come inside and have a slice of pizza," she added.
And so went this blonde lawyer into the Yuuki household where Mrs. Yuuki asked him many questions.

Yui stood up and went to the window. She wanted to make a dramatic mood as if she's acting in a soap opera.
"Miaka and I have been friends since we were children," she began, "but she was always envious of me. She wanted everything I had…and when we reached high school, that's where we met you.
"The three of us became very good friends until slowly, you and I fell in love with each other. Not so long after that, you became my boyfriend. Miaka was happy for us, or at least she pretended to be.
"In our graduation, she confessed everything to me…" Yui looked at Taka, "…she said she loves you…"
Taka showed an expression of surprise and disbelief but still Yui continued. She faced the window again, trying to hide the evil smile forming on her face.
"Being her best friend, I decided to give you up and study in another country. I then went to USA and there I finished my studies and had a good job.
"You've sent me letters…telling that you still love me, asking why I just left you, telling me to come back to you. But, I didn't send you any reply hoping that you would forget me and be happy in Miaka's arms. And so, she became your girlfriend.
"After some time, I received a letter from Miaka, saying that you were having a good relationship. She even told me you're gonna marry her soon.
"At first, you and Miaka were happy together…but suddenly that Hotohori guy showed up and Miaka fell for him. That's when you realized what kind of girl Miaka is. She is a cold-hearted girl who just wanted to ruin other people's lives."
"When you have successfully accepted everything that happened, you decided to go abroad to find another job. That's when we reunited…and now, we're getting married in three months," Yui ended as she wiped a tear from her eye.
"So that's it?" Taka asked, looking suspiciously at her. "Was that really the truth?"
"Of course Taka. Do you think I'm lying?" Yui said.
"Tell me, did I have an accident that made me forget everything? Because honestly, I don't remember even one solitary thing from what you have said," Taka replied.
"Y-Yes," Yui answered and started to think of something to say, "Y-You w-were…um…well…you were attacked by gangsters while…while…you were…. coming home from your job…yeah that's it…at first the doctor said you might die…because you lost a lot of blood…luckily, you and I had the same blood type so I donated…then…you became asleep…"
"Asleep?"
"I-I mean, you were in a coma…and when you woke up, you didn't remember anything anymore…"
"Oh really?" Taka asked a little bewildered.
"Y-Yes…um I mean…Certainly. That's everything…that happened…" Yui replied, "And that's what you should know… I can't tell you the truth or else you'll leave me…" she added to herself.

By the time Miaka went home, her mother, brother and her brother's best friend told her everything that happened a while ago.
"Why, that's really…um…a surprise then…" Miaka said, not knowing what else to say.
Upon noticing her hand looking a little sore, Keisuke asked what happened.
"Oh, that's nothing. By the way I'll sleep now…I'm very tired," she said as she went upstairs to her room.
"Eat first," her mom said but Miaka just shook her head and insisted that she's tired.
"Something's wrong with your sister," Tetsuya said.
"Yeah, something's really wrong about her," Keisuke agreed.
……….
The next day however, Miaka woke up happily.
"So what's the big deal?" Keisuke asked.
"Oh nothing, I just agreed to meet Hotohori at the park later…afternoon," Miaka replied, her cheeks blushing.
"Now now now. Love truly is in the air. Want evidence? Call Miaka at 1800-588-4674 or 1800-LUV-Hori. That's 1800-588-4674," Keisuke said, imitating a DJ.
"Stop that," Miaka said as her cheeks turned redder than before.
……….
Afternoon
Miaka was waiting by a tree at the park when suddenly someone called her attention.
"Hi!" the man greeted happily.
"Oh, Nakago…how nice to see you," Miaka replied then they began talking about what happened yesterday.
"Nakago, is that you?" a woman came and asked.
The two turned to face the woman who called Nakago. She removed her sunglasses to reveal her wonderful face.
"S-Soi? Soi is your name, right?" Miaka asked, for Nakago was too shocked to speak.
"Actually, my name is Haku Kaen…but it's okay if you call me Soi," the woman replied then quick as the wind, clung to Nakago's arm. "I missed you…I hope you missed me too," she said then she gave him a loving kiss.
Miaka turned back, feeling that she's not worthy to see this romantic event. About half a minute passed when someone tapped on her shoulder again. It was Soi (once again).
"It's okay, you can turn back now," she whispered.
"So…you're his girlfriend…I guess," Miaka said.
"Well," Nakago started but Soi covered his mouth.
"Yeah of course. We've been together in this second life of ours," Soi replied, "Why, are you his number two?"
"No, of course not," Miaka chuckled, "I'm single…and besides, I think you two are so cute together."
"Very well then," Soi said as she uncovered Nakago's mouth, "What are you doing here anyway?"
"I was waiting for a friend I was supposed to meet here," Miaka answered.
"Me too," Soi said, "I'm waiting for my friend. She said she'd bring along her crush. Actually, she said that guy was really handsome…that's why I agreed to meet her here because I'm curious."
"I see, what's you friend's name anyway?"
"Her name is…wait, there she is!" Soi exclaimed as she ran to her friend. Nakago and Miaka also turned to see her…and to Miaka's surprise, it was…

Who do you think is Soi's friend?Do you think Nakago is really Soi's boyfriend?
Do you think Taka is stupid enough to believe Yui?
