Author's Note: Hello there! Konbanwa! This morning, I was watching NHK channel and I was so amazed by the Japanese people! I could even cry! OMG! I think that Japanese people are one of the most polite/honest/kind/most-disciplined in the whole wide world! I don't know – that's what I think. So, if you have different views it's okay. I'm just dying to visit Japan someday! Whew!

And today I learned how to ask in Japanese, like for example:

I'd like to have some tea please. You'll say 'Koucha wo kudasai.'

If you want to ask for something else just replace the 'Koucha' with any word.

clever keith: Right! We couldn't blame Mami for she really loves Yuuya! A person will do anything for love, right? Haha. The person who did the chaos must pay! We'll let that person pay hard! Hmm. Yes, the one speaking while eating was Ran! Oh, I can't imagine Rei would do that. For him, that's inappropriate! Haha. Yes, let's all support Aya! She must not give up! The one on the other line was Omoni, she gave the ring back to Rei! And yhey for that! Clever Keith, thank you for reading and reviewing! Have a great, amazing and happy weekend! (",

Camryholicz: I really hope so too and that all will be well. I wanted them to have a break form all the sad moments, but – we will see. Haha. About that night? Hmm. Okay, I'll tell you – soon! Not now. LOL! Right, that is sooooo Ran! LOL! And yes, that was Omoni! Yhey! She came to Tokyo for one reason – the ring! But of course, we will find out something from her! I wouldn't let her be in Tokyo just to give the ring back, would I? Thanks for reading and reviewing! Thank you! Rei's P.O.V. – sure! *wink* Weekday's almost over, have a great weekend Camryholicz! (",

L: iHola L! Hurrah! One problem solved! Way to go! You're right, the lady on the latter part was Omoni! Haha. I know, Aya's too kind. Imagine, that almost ruined her but she still forgave Mami and Yuuya. Huhu. As for me, if someone did that to me? I might forgive her or him after a while, but then it'll take time for me to forget it. Hmm. Thank you as well! Thank you so much! Have a happy weekend! (",

dyalicious: You're welcome Dyah! Yes they have the same personality, I'd agree with Lee Min Ho. Is he the one in Boys Over Flowers? I like Ji Hoo more, la la la. (", Anyway, about the temple research? No, that's not what I mean. What I meant was, I didn't find a place that could fit the story. I was searching for a temple near Tokyo, specifically three hours away from it but it was difficult to find. So in the end, I didn't give a specific location. Hehe. No, I wouldn't be tired researching it was fun because I get to learn from it! (", I don't know if they're the same, now I'm confused. LOL! Yes, they're friends again! Yhey! And about who was Ran referring to, it was Mami! Lastly, the one who gave the ring back was Omoni! Haha. Have a very great weekend! Thanks for the continuous support on this story! (",

angeLsapphire: Haha! And someone will be jealous! Yhey! Will everything be okay now? I'm not sure. Hmm. Let's find out! About who posted the letter and did the whole thing? Hmm. And you're right, the woman on the latter part was Omoni! Haha. Have a great weekend! Thanks for reading and reviewing! (",

In her eyes the rain and the wind seemed to be like fighting about life and death. She jumped and screamed behind the front seat when the thunder roared; to her some place might have been struck dead by the loud noise it made. She still hid herself behind, 'When will you stop being afraid of it?' Her best friend asked.

Her fearful eyes found his despite the storm's darkness. 'I-I don't know. Aren't you scared of the lightning or the thunder? They could kill, you know!' He laughed at her. They both looked at the windshield when the car stopped from moving. 'What's wrong?'

The driver told them that the fallen tree has blocked the driveway. From the looks of the tree, it might weigh heavy that only a truck could pull it off. They can't carry it and were left with only one choice which was to return to the temple.

'I can't go home!' She sighed and bit her lower lip because of anxiousness. 'I am so dead! I didn't even make a call to tell Rei where I was!' She borrowed the driver's phone, unfortunately there was no signal! 'Rei must be worried now.'

Rei

When he reached the temple's front door, he met Yuuya-kun's uncle. After bowing, he said what he was there for. 'I'm sorry to disturb you Sir. I'm looking for my wife and Yuuya.'

'Oh, she left an hour ago. Yuuya's at the other temple, it will take you two hours from here or maybe three since it is raining.' The middle-aged man glanced at the sky.

'You mean to say Sir that they are not here?' He uttered an oath inside his head.

The man nodded.

'Which temple, Sir?'

'Go back to the arc entrance and turn right. You'll see the temple's façade from there.'

'Thank you, Sir.' He bowed and left running.

When he entered his car, he banged his door close.

'Freeze!' A woman said at the backseat. It was Ran, she sighed when it was him that she saw. 'Oh, it's just you. What's with the banging of the door? I thought there was a fight.'

'Dang it, what are you doing here?'

'What?' She looked at him. 'What do you mean?'

He breathed in and started the car's engine. 'I thought I left you in Tokyo.'

'What? We are in Tokyo.' She emphasized the word 'Tokyo.'

He ignored her and took his phone to dial his wife's number, she wasn't answering. 'Good grief, did she left her phone?' He dialed Yuuya-kun's number, the operator said that the number was not in use. He controlled himself from uttering an oath. He just threw his phone at the backseat.

'Ouch!' The phone landed right on Ran's face. 'Oh, you! That was painful! That's intentional – admit it!'

'.' He ignored her again and started to drive his car. She almost banged her head on the front seat because of the way he drives.

'What the-' She fastened her seatbelt, 'you got two points already! I don't know what's going on but if you're planning to die like this don't you dare include me! I still wanted to live not leave!'

'Shut up, you're so noisy. I hate the kind of your voice.'

She agreed. 'My sister says that too, oh how I miss her. I don't want to die! Please just leave me on the street.'

They noticed caution lights blocking the driveway, when he opened the car's window a man assisted to them. 'I'm sorry for the inconvenience Sir but you can't pass from here.'

'What?'

'I said you can't-' the man spoke every word slowly.

'I get it you don't have to speak that way, Sir.' He looked at the man, trying to keep his composure.

'Is that so? Well, it will take us five hours to clear the road.'

'That long? What happened?'

'There was an accident.'

'I see, thank you for the notice.' He just nodded and closed the window.

'I guess we're stuck.' She concluded. 'Of all people, why would I be stuck with you?'

'I should be the one to say that.'

.

Ran

.

.

.

She looked at the steps to the temple, 'I feel so tired, I can't go any further.'

'You could just stay in the car.' He suggested coldly.

'Right, good idea Ototchi! I might as well get back to then car.' Then she shouted, 'and what be dead? Stupid! No thanks! Why did you even drag me here?'

'Like I said you could jus stay in the car and leave me in peace.'

'On second thought,' she smelled something delicious, 'maybe not. That smell is making me hungry. I'm pretty sure that's food!' She went where she smelled it as fast as the flash of the lightning, 'I knew it!' She placed her hand in her stomach and pretended to be close to dying. 'Please, I'm begging you. Give me some food.'

The man looked at her in disbelief, 'Well-'

'Sir, the road was blocked. Is it okay if we stay for the night?' Rei asked the man.

Stay for the night? I don't like the sound of it. It sounded like death to me, Ran told herself.

'Of course, as if I don't know you. You're Yuuya's best friend, I'd be glad to make his friends stay.' He asked them to join him eating.

Ran started to eat, 'Ku whu riv hi?'

'Will you stop talking when you're eating?' Rei asked her with annoyance visible in his face.

'What did you say?' The man asked her.

'I said, do you live here?' She repeated her question, after clearing her mouth.

'Yes.'

'Alone?' She followed up her question then commented on the food 'this tastes great!'

'Obviously, you almost finished the whole bowl of soup.' He looked at his bowl, 'and mine.'

'Shut up.' She whispered on Rei, the man thanked her compliment. 'It must be sad to be alone, isn't it?' Rei gave her an eye, 'I mean, to be alone on this temple. Don't you have any wi-?' She almost choked her food because Rei gave her a strike on the back. 'What is your problem? That's the third!' She glared at Rei then gave a soft smile to the middle-aged man.

.

Yuuya

.

.

.

Beside the fireplace, he placed three bowls on the table filling them with hot soup with vegetables. She walked out of a room with a candle on her hand, dressed in his clothes. 'I'm sorry; this is all I can prepare.'

She nodded and took her seat, she sat beside her best friend. After having a taste of it, 'Not bad, right?' She asked the driver, he gave him a nod.

'Not bad?'

She nodded. 'Hai.'

The driver stood up after finishing his soup, 'I'm going back to the car.'

She looked up at him, 'at the car? Is that where you will sleep?'

He nodded at her, 'I have to watch over Miss Honda's car,' then left.

'Aya?'

'Yes?'

'I'm really sorry for everything, I-'

'You're forgiven already, you're my best friend. Our friendship is thicker than-'

'Than?'

'Than any thing.'

'Right.'

'And it'll just make me feel bad if I don't forgive you but tell me – what happened?'

He looked into the fireplace.

Everything will never be the same now that she's already married.

"Yuuya?"

What? Is she calling me?

"What happened to your neck?"

My-my neck? Argh. "I-it's just a wound." I scratched my head and looked at her.

"Oh, does it hurt? Did you see a doctor?"

"I-I'm fine. No need for that." She has never changed, always concern with other people.

She nodded and added, "Did you get a tan?"

I glared at Tatsuki when he laughed.

"It looks good on you though. I'll see you when we get back."

I just nodded at her, I don't know what to say or feel. I don't even know how to face her. I feel so down.

'Why did you lie?' She asked while enveloping her arms around her legs.

'What?'

'About the wound.'

'I don't want anyone to question me about it; I don't know what to say.'

'You could've just said that it means 'Asou!'

'Yeah, I never thought of that. Honestly, I will never be mad even if you did that.'

'Oh, really?'

'Really.'

She held her hand in front him, as if counting through her fingers. 'Then tell me why did you cut your phone line, went to rehab, didn't talk to me, and isolated your self from the world?' She looked at him fiercely. 'And oh, you said something bad about me on the news.'

'What?'

She nodded thrice, waiting for his answer.

'Okay, I cut my phone line, went to rehab, didn't talk to you, isolated myself but I didn't say anything bad about you.'

'They said you did!'

'I didn't – I swear.'

'Okay, why did you do the other four?'

'I saw my picture on twitter with a lot of good and bad comments, plus I saw our pictures together circulated around the net. I feel bad about how they create fake stories. But what made me feel worst was when I watched the news, I saw my letter. It was something so private and I don't want to share it with the world, only with you. Although it's not a bad letter or anything, I feel that a part of me was stolen when it was broadcasted.'

'The letter?'

'They highlighted just the parts that could form an issue; they didn't really read the whole letter. I feel so depressed that I couldn't eat. All the negative comments of the people and the way they look at me, I feel so down. So I decided to seek help.'

'That's it?'

'I ran away from people because I am a coward. I'm afraid that I might say something that is not right.'

'Running away wouldn't answer anything; you must face it – whatever it is.'

'But what's with you that night, when you came out of the rehab?'

'I feel mad with myself and I don't know who to blame. Believe me, I only see myself that night. I was only awakened when we stopped walking, I didn't know what happened.'

'But you said, you've heard her, what was that for?'

'I said that because I know it was too late to get everything back.'

'It was a total misunderstanding.'

'You know what?'

'What?'

'The blog, I don't believe it was you. If you really read the letter you wouldn't have said that.'

'What's with the letter anyway?'

'You haven't read it?'

She shook her head. 'No, it was stolen right before I could read it.'

He stood up, 'Wait right here.'

When he got back, he gave her a blanket and a pillow. He placed the treasure chest above the table.

'That's cool!' He handed her an envelope, outside the envelop it read: Aya Hoshino. 'This is the letter?'

'It's a scratch.'

'Maybe you mean a copy?'

'No,' he shook his head. 'I wanted the letter to be perfect so I kept on re-writing it until it became perfect.'

'Really?'

'The one stolen was the perfect one; you should've seen the way I wrote it.'

She held the envelope 'No, this one is perfect too since it came from Yuuya-kun.' She placed it inside her clothes, near her chest, 'now no one can stole it this time.' She sneezed.

'Are you all right?'

'Yeah, I'm fine.'

'None of these things would have happened if the letter wasn't stolen.'

'I'm sorry, I was so careless.' She wiped her eyes which appeared so red.

'Hey-' He embraced her, 'no, I didn't mean to say that. It wasn't your fault.' Se started to catch her breath. 'Hey, are you all right? Aya?'

'I think I'm sick again.'

He checked her temperature by placing his hand on her forehead, 'Again? You mean you were sick? You feel hot, you are sick!' What the- 'And still you came here all the way from Tokyo?'

'I-I'm fine, don't scold me. You're acting like Rei. I just need to sleep, I guess.'

He laid her close to the fireplace. 'Just stay here; I'll go find a doctor.'

'I'll be fine-'

'Shh.' He placed a blanket and took another blanket out of his room. 'I'll be right back.'

Running under the storm, he remembered all his moments with her.

"Hold that pose-" She sat by the grass, placing both of her hands on her lap. "Perfect! Now, stay that way until I finish this."

"Will it take-"

"No."

"Okay."

I woke the driver up, 'Aya's sick we need to find a doctor.' The driver didn't awaken since he wasn't seated at the driver's seat, he drove the car.

I was really speechless when she sang Saikou No Kataomoi by Tainaka Sachi. "That's my song for Otohata-kun, what do you think?"

"."

When he saw that the same tree was blocking the driveway, he has no choice but to go back to the temple. Or maybe he could just take a walk; he went out of the car. A man was approaching, he called him out. 'Sir!'

The man looked at him from a near view, 'How may I help you?'

'Do you happen to know where the nearest hospital here or where the nearest doctor lives?'

He nodded, 'the nearest would be two hours from here if you will use your car. '

'What?'

'Is that the man with you sick? Is he dying?' The man asked, pointing out the man sleeping inside the car.

'No, not him. My best friend is sick.' He said in a very worried voice. 'I need to get her a doctor!'

'Well,' he thought for a while. 'There is a woman on the woods who can help you with that, she'll give you natural medicines. She is well-known here; she has a traditional way of curing people.'

'Okay. Where can I find her?'

'Do you know the temple up there?' He pointed straight.

'Yes, yes.'

'After the temple, just go straight and you'll see a hanging bridge at the end of the road. Walk on the bridge and you'll find a very small house, that's where she lives.'

He nodded, 'thank you, Sir.'

'Just be careful, the wind and the rain – they're both strong'

Mami

.

.

.

She dialed Rei's number, after four rings he finally answered. 'Otohata? Please give some time to talk. Thanks. I need to know who you went with the night of your bachelor's party. Give me the list of their full names because I think one of them took the letter. Do you remember the night of your wedding, the letter was with me and I threw on the trash can. There was this guy who was there when I left, he said he was with you on your party. Please, I'm trying to clean your wife's name for what I did. Yes, we talked about it. I asked her to find Yuuya-kun and- she's at the temple. Yes. O-okay.' She put the phone away from her ears when she heard a loud sound.

She dialed Yamato's emergency number, meaning this number is his number at the police station. 'Yamato? Yamato? It's Mami. Yes, I'd like to ask for your help.'

.

Hot Day

.

.

.

He kicked her feet, 'Hey, what a mess. Wake up!'

She sat up, 'What?'

'You're drooling.'

She wiped her mouth, 'but it's still night-'

'Dawn.'

'Okay, dawn.' She laid herself back, he kicked her again. 'What the – are you messing up with me? A girl has to sleep!'

He walked out to take a bowl of soup. 'You are a mess, let's go.'

She stood up and stamped her feet, 'oh, you! What a cold guy!'

'Thank you.'

She took the bowl of soup from him, 'give me that!'

After one hour and a half, they arrived at the other temple. He stopped his car before the car he saw, it wasn't Yuuya's car for sure. It might be Mami's car because a man dressed in a driver uniform was sleeping inside. He turned to Ran, 'hey, don't drool inside my car. You're disgusting.'

She spoke from her sleep, 'shut up.'

When he got out of the car, he walked up the stairs and looked for his wife. He opened the door, beside the platform he saw a woman seated but asleep then he saw his wife beside his best friend – sleeping as well. What is going on? He asked himself.

He walked out of the temple thrice heavier than when he first went in, is that how he supposed to feel in a temple? He talked to himself and recalled what he saw. His best friend and wife were sleeping together!

He sat down the last step of the temple's stone staircase. He was sweating not because of the sunrise but because of something else. Sweating with jealousy and anger?

'Rei? I-'

He turned around, not speaking. 'It's time to go.'

Aya looked at her best friend, 'Let's go.'

'Okay.' He ran inside and took his belongings.

'Rei,' she walked slowly, balancing her every step.

He looked at her from head to toe, evading her eyes actually.

'I know you were wor-'

'Let's go.' I walked to Mami's car and closed the door. He went close to it and spoke, 'what are you doing there?'

'You said let's go.'

'Yes, what I meant was for you to get inside my car – our car.'

She nodded and took her bag. 'O-okay.'

Yuuya ascended the stairs,

'Yuuya,' Aya called on her best friend. 'I'll see you.' When she saw her husband's cold face she went inside his car.

Rei noticed the scratches on his arms and face, then ignore him.

'Rei.'

'Don't talk to me.'

'I just wanted to tell you that-'

'Shut up.' He said in a low but firm and cold voice, his eyes were like daggers to him. He walked near his car and went in, closing the door viciously. He looked at the backseat, 'hey you! Wake up!'

Aya looked at the backseat, 'Ran?'

'Aya? You're here!'

'Y-yeah.'

'What a complete mess you made in there, now get out.' Rei said.

'What did you say? After helping you?'

'Yes, thanks to you I didn't sleep because you're snoring. There are lots of foods on the other car-'

'Really? Where.' She swiftly went out of the car.

The car was left with only the newly-wedded couple. He started the engine and drove slowly, 'Remember what I told you?'

She looked at him, assessing what she must say. 'Yes.'

'What did you do?'

'Rei, I'm so sorry I-I know-'

'I'm already on it; you don't have to resolve it yourself.'

'I have all the right to resolve it because it's my problem, I'm part of it.'

'Didn't I promise or told you that it'll be all right, you don't have to do anything?'

'I thought, I-'

'I thought we already talked about it.'

'Okay, I'm sorry.' She said just to end the conversation. 'I know you were worried and-'

'Yes, I was morosely worried.'

She blushed on that. '.'

'What are you wearing?'

She suddenly remembered her clothes, she hanged them at the back of the temple.'Oh, no. My clothes! They're at the temple.'

'Is that Yuuya's clothes?'

'It's not like I have any choice, would you want me to wear a blanket or curtain instead?'

'Yes.'

'I don't want you to wear someone else's clothes, did you hear?' Especially Yuuya-kun's, he'd like to add.

'Okay. I'm sorry.'

He looked at her, checking her face if she really looks sorry for it. 'What did you do last night?'

'All?'

'.' He gritted his teeth.

'We just talked, then he went out because I was sick. That's all I can remember.' The car stopped abruptly, which made her bump her forehead. 'Ouch.'

'What did you say?'

'I can't remember what happened. It was raining, there were lightning and thunder.'

'What else?'

'.'

'You were sleeping together, that's what happened!' He said slamming the steering wheel, she didn't see that coming.

'Listen-' she said in a low voice.

'No, you listen to me young lady!'

'I-'

'Snap it-'

'Re-'

'I said, stop.'

She nodded her head and looked at the road.

'I don't care how closer you are to him than to me.'

'.'

'Now that you're married to me you cannot be physically attached to him or to anyone else! Do you understand?'

'.'

'I said do you understand?'

'Oh, am I allowed to speak?'

'Geez, Aya.'

'Am I commanded to speak now?'

'You're making me mad, do you know that?'

'What about to breathe? Are you going to control it too?'

'Seriously?'

'You always tell me what to do. I remember you once told me to decide for myself.'

'Yes, I said that.'

'You know, I completely understand now.' She looked at him, meeting his eyes. 'Honestly, I do get it now!' She forced a smile.

'.'

'You mean to say that for as long as I don't physically attach myself to someone it's okay?'

'Sort of.'

'What about attaching myself emotionally?'

'It's beyond my or your control.'

'So you mean that's okay?'

'Why did we end up with this? We're not talking about-'

'To you it must be okay, but for me it isn't. You are so unfair! You can control me but I don't have the power over you-'

'Power, I don't know what you're talking about.'

She turned the air-con to the coolest temperature and faced the window side. '.'

'Do you know what a man can do when someone is sick? You were so vulnerable!'

'You don't think he will do that, do you?'

'Oh, yeah. Why not? The man loves you, let me just remind you that.'

'He is my best friend.'

'He is a man.'

'What do you know about love? What do you understand about it? That if someone's in love he or she would do that? That's not love, that's lust.'

'.'

'A person in love strives for something that cannot be bought or sell – that is one's heart. You can't say you're in love just by physical things. What your heart feels? That's what matters.'
