Days pass quickly, today is raining day. it is raining cats and dogs and Rukawa goes home early today. His mother asks him to give some foods to their neighbour, that is Alara.

"For whom?" Rukawa took foods from his mother's hand

"Alara-chan." Her mother smiled happily. "Ah...she is kind hearted girl also sweet too. I like her, i wish...

"Where is the umbrella?" Rukawa cut off the conversation

"Haaa...cruel...!" His mother was peeved

Under his umbrella, Rukawa is walking to Alara's house. Her house is beside his house so it doesn't spend much time to go there, at the time he is already in front of her gate, he tries to open it and it isn't locked so he walks to the door house, he looks at the other side there is a basketball ring there afterwards he gets the door isn't locked too.

"Excuse me..." Rukawa looked at inside of the house

No one answers it, the room is quite dark too. It is a big room in his mind, first he thinks to turn back to go home but he changes his mind he decides to enter the house. He walks into the room and looks for a kitchen, maybe someone will be there. He can't find kitchen, he finds a new room which quite dark too instead. He finds a girl who laying on sofa while covering her eyes with her hand. He walks towards the girl, but his steps stop immediately.

"Crying..?!" In his mind

Not long after that an old maid is standing beside him.

"Since when has she been here?" He was surprised

She asks him to leave Alara alone at the room hereafter they walk to living room.

"She is lonely girl.." The old maid opened the conversation.

Rukawa doesn't say anything, but he feels surprised.

"I have worked as maid since i was teenager in their family, so i know how this family well. Her parents are always busy, they don't have much time for her. She is always alone, i almost forget the right time it had happened, i'm too old too, yet i know a boy who always accompany her and being her first friend is Mr. Akira.

"Sendoh?"

"Do you know him?"

"Don't really know."

"Would you like to have tea here? No one comes here, except Mr. Akira and you are the 2nd who come here." The old maid talked happily

Rukawa sits on sofa he is waiting for the old maid, after a few minutes the old maid comes to put a glass of tea on glass table.

"Take a drink, please."

"Thank you."

The maid talks everything to him and the end of story she asks him to hide about he sees Alara in room. After they finish having tea and talking, he walks leaving the house, suddenly he stops walking he looks back to see the house then continues his steps to go home.
