MEI AIHARA'S POINT OF VIEW

CHAPTER 32

YUZU POV

- Hey Mei... during the time when I couldn't meet you, I did a lot of thinking about how to never part from you, and become happy together... but I was wrong. We can't be happy together if you choose your future alone. Before we knew it, everyone was behind supporting us... that's why....

MEI POV

- Yuzu... my head aches everytime I think of ways to avoid this situation to come... I did a lot of thinking about how to escape this reality and live in our fantasy, to live in our own world.. together with you... in your arms where I belong to..

Earlier...

Yuzu and her friends think of ways to trace where to find Mei. After Matsuri's conversation with The Manager, she knew that Mei might be with The Manager.

Alas! Matsuri's instinct was spot on, Mei will be having dinner at the Udagawa's. Shiraho-Senpai lend a hand by providing the car. And later on, Mitsuko and Maruta gave Yuzu and Matsuri a lift to avoid traffic and arrive on time at the Udagawa's residence. As Matsuri figured a plan to get Yuzu and her inside..

"Yuzu-chan, I'm not doing this because Taniguchi-Senpai asked me to. I'm doing what I can to increase your chance to see Mei. leave this to me. So hurry inside."

As Matsuri deceives the lady that accompany them inside the place...

"Listen Yuzu-chan, I'm going to confine that old lady now. Once you lose sight of me, enter the house and search for Mei. I don't know how far you're willing to go. But I can't continue from here on. You're on your own."

"I'm not alone." Yuzu say with confidence feeling thankful for all of her friends.

As soon as Matsuri was out of Yuzu's sight, Yuzu ran through every room to find Mei. She even barged in a room with people she doesn't know that they ran and chased after her.

When Yuzu came to a certain room..

"MEI!"

Door slammed and there she found Mei talking with Udagawa-san.

MEI POV

- Gasp! Yuzu!?!.. am I dreaming? are you really here!?!...

Mei was surprised to see Yuzu again. More of she was delighted and excired to see Yuzu, she felt her heart skip out of her chest. She wanted to come running to Yuzu but as soon as reality striked her, she composed herself and...

"Please have her leave." Mei said as she turned her back to Yuzu, ordering the maids to get Yuzu out. Mei went out to the veranda afterwards.

MEI POV

- Yuzu, please don't make this harder for the both of us...

"MEI!" Yuzu called out to Mei as maids drag her out.

"No wait. She's an acquaintance of mine. Would you allow me to handle things here? I apologize for the uproar." Udagawa-san told the maids, and the maids take their leave.

"What's going on, Aihara-san? You suddenly came all the way here."

"I'm really sorry Manager! It might cause you trouble  but, I need to tell Mei something no matter what.."

Udagawa-san saw Yuzu's ring as she clench her hands up her chest.

UDAGAWA POV

- can it be... heh... I get it now... sigh.. these girls.. ah, young love...

"Udagawa-san I don't have anything to say to her. I would really like her to leave."

"Mei..."

"Mei-san, as promised, I haven't spoken a word to anyone about what's going on. But somehow your older sister is here today. Your determination is just as dear to me as this earnest girl's enthusiasm. I'll give you two time to talk so will you please hear her out?"

YUZU POV

- gulp... Mei... sigh... here goes...

MEI POV

- Yuzu... how can I... sigh...
