"Haruko why don't you give me a chance to prove that I'm much more worthy than that Rukawa?" Sakuragi suggested, Haruko just closed her eyes, "I mean how will the relationship will flow if the trust is gone?"

After his question Haruko's tears fall down her cheek, "I do not know Sakuragi."

Sakuragi backed away from Haruko, but just a few incehes away still holding her shoulders, "You don't have to think just do it." he said, he also lifted her chin then continued, "I'll stand all the way by your side." he kissed her forehead.

"Sakuragi!!!"she then snapped back to her situation, "I shouldn't be hugging you, and you shouldn't be kissing my forehead, this is wrong I'm still Rukawa's gf."

"That's why I'm helping you out? Not only, his trust is gone but also he treats you cold how can stand that up?" he said, as a result she lowered her head "But he was always true to me, he never cheated on me before."

"Then why is he with Mia at the mall, when he accused us dating?" he asked her with a higher tone, meanwhile Haruko was taken aback by his retort, after a few seconds she found words,

"How did you know that he's with Mia, inspite of they weren't noticed, we haven't had any clue that they were there? She and Rukawa just appeared infront of us?" she narrowed her eyes "Do you have anything to do with this?"

'Yes Haruko! But I'm sorry for what I did, I just want you away from that Rukawa.' he thought. Then he answered her, "No! I just assumed that it has been very--uh--uhmm---very coincidental that they both appear at the same time."

"Why are you here, with him...again?" said a cold voice. (Haruko's seeing Rukawa, while Sakuragi's back facing him) He turned to face him. "Rukawa..."Sakuragi thought.

"Haruko, what is this?" Rukawa asked to Haruko. But insteeaad of answering his question, she answered him with a question, "Rukawa are you still mad at me?"

"I don't know." he stared at her coldly. Sakuragi then said, "You dont love her much as I do, why don't you set her free? Let her come to me?"

"Did she agree on something like that?" he face Sakuragi, "I was here all the while when you two were talking, I heard some... I'm not sure about some other part but I witnessed the part where you two hugged each other." he said, true, 'hurt' expressed in his eyes, but then again he tried to hide it. Rukawa face HAruko again, "Is that what you want?"

"Huh?"

"Is that what you want? To be with him rather to be with me?" Rukawa asked her seriously (as usual).

"Rukawa, not that... do you love me?" Haruko asked him.

"..." Rukawa was suprised by her question, "uh... of courss." Haruko took steps to Rukawa, "Is he saying the truth? That you his love is greater than yours?"

"You're not believing my words to you?" he let a breath out, then Rukawa step closer to the two, "Then I guess I have cool our relationship, find ourselves, I mean we'll think...that way you'll see who you really want to be with." Rukawa then turned to his heels headin' out of sigh through the darkness.

"Rukawa..." was all Sakuragi said.

*****
