PROVING YOUR LOVE
**Day 8**
"Hey rise and shine"
"WHAT!?"
"I was thinking since you are so nice and hardworking yesterday, I should give you a reward. And you know the reward is going to Cameron Highlands for three days."
"Three days?? But my letters from Kaede-kun." Hanamichi pouted.
"So you do not want to go? You came here to visit Malaysia, not to wait for your boyfriend's letters in your sister's small house! So are you going?" asked Hanako again, she is losing her temper.
"Cameron Highlands. What can we do there?"
"Umm we can pick strawberries there, fresh ones straight from the field. And we can buy fresh tea there. Fresh vegetables, fruits mostly."
"Strawberries???" Yummy. I love strawberries.
"SO?"
"Yes I am going."
"Alright then! Get out of bed and pack you clothes. Oh yeah, and please do not bring that fox pajamas."
"Yes! I will bring it!"
"NO, you will not bring it!"
"YES!!!!"
"Never mind then. Here is your letter."
Hanamichi got out of bed and took the letter from his sister.
************************************************************************
HEY,
How are you? I hope you are still enjoying your stay. I can't wait for you to come back.
LOVE
Like a burning star in the night sky, is what I feel for you
JOY
Like the colours completing the rainbow, is how I am happy with you
GRACE
Is what I achieve along with your existence
DREAMS
That you fulfill, keeps my life burning endlessly on a golden path
PERFECT
Is what my life is, with each moment I shared together with you...
I just want you to remember that when you need a shoulder to lean on, you have mine. And I love you.
The letter for today is T.
Kaede.
***************************************************************************************************************
'Ahhh, trust Kaede to make my day! I miss him. Hanamichi have been trying to hold his tears of love and happiness. He felt so lucky to have found his other part so soon.
Better start packing my things up for the trip. My back hurts from all the bending I have to do yesterday to clean the pumps under the sinks. Yuck! Never would I do it again. So disgusting.'
And so our Hanamichi started to pack his things (Never forgetting the fox pajamas)
Hanako was waiting patiently for him. They took an express bus to go to Cameron Highlands.
****** FAST forward (Three days Later)*******
"I knew it." Hanako said while they are still in the bus going back from Cameron Highlands to home.
"Knew what?" Hanamichi asked. He is really very stupid.
"You will destroy the trip."
"Ore wa tensai, I did not destroy the trip."
"If you have not made the old man angry, he would have let us pick the strawberry ourselves. Trust you to cause a problem every time."
What to know what happen?
Well Hanamichi called the owner of the Strawberry Field bald and of course he got angry. Then Hanamichi head butted the man. Causing them to be kicked out of the Field.
Then Hanamichi was caught playing IN the water fountain at the hotel they were staying and the water system got stuck by him. He again head butted the three security officers, which cause them again to be kicked out of the hotel and forever to be in the blacklist of their unwanted visitors list.
So they have to stay at an old, rundown room, which is rat-infested.
"Ahhhh home sweet home." Hanako said as they reached their home.
"Ahhh home swee- wait this is not my home. Ahhh letters sweet letters" Hanamichi mimicked Hanako and stops as Hanako glared at him.
He went directly to the letter box and took out the mails that have accumulated over the past three days.
As what have been thought three letters from Kaede.
He grabbed the three letters and ran upstairs to his room.
***************************************************************************************************************
Letter 1
My day so far- 9 sweet hour of sweet dreams of a certain do-aho.
5 hours of basketball training and
24 hours of missing a red-head that is currently in Malaysia.
Absence extinguishes small passions and increases great ones, as the wind will blow out a candle, and blow in a fire.
So you see Hana-chan, I really miss you!!
The letter for today is E.
***************************************************************************************************************
Letter 2
L-O-V-E Hanamichi!!!
You see I am crazy about you!!!
All the money in the world does not adds up to the amount of love I felt about you.
You are the sun, the star, the moon and the earth of my life. I don't mind evolving around you.
Do you not see that you and I are as the branches in one tree? With your rejoicing comes my laughter; with your sadness start my tears. Love, could life be otherwise with you and me?
Doubt thou the stars are fire; Doubt that the sun doth move; Doubt truth to be a liar; but never doubt I love.
The letter for today:- M
I would go the distance for you.
Kaede.
***************************************************************************************************************
Letter 3
You remember the first fight we had? You head butted me because I was treating Akagi's sister badly. I am so glad you are over her. But I am still head over heels over you. I crave for your touch and you.
A day without you, it is so wrong. How long has it been? 11days? God it has been so long, I miss you. 3 more days to go and you will be right here with me and you can trust me I will be here waiting for you.
I add my breath to your breath that our days may be long on the Earth. That the days of our people may be long, that we shall be as one person, that we may finish our road together.
Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.
The letter for today is :- Y
Kaede.
***************************************************************************************************************
By that time, Hanamichi tears have been flowing like a river. He is really touched by Kaede's letter and it just made him love Kaede more.
Yeap three more days to go. Can't wait for it!! Oh no, I have not bought your present Kitsune. Okay I will go shopping tomorrow!!
"Hey sis, you busy tomorrow?? I want to go shopping tomorrow." Hanamichi shouts.
"I am not busy. And yes I will go with you." Hanako shouts back in reply.
TBC
Yes, yes… I am sorry a bit rushed. There But do not worry, the next chapter will be about Hanamichi going shopping for Kaede's present and yup!! You guess it right!! It is going to be full of humor and laughter!!
REVIEW!!!!

Doubt thou the stars are fire; Doubt that the sun doth move; Doubt truth to be a liar; but never doubt I love.
