"Two people who were always together, were now torn apart, that's all there is to this story.."

Then there was a blinding light, Natsu opened his eyes looking his and another person's hand holding each other, the boy's face made his heart accelerate, 'those blue eyes why does it felt like, I will see those soon?'  "Riku.." the boy looked at him. "When I return, promise me we'll see again okay?" The boy smiled, "promise." He replied. Then a sudden silence occured.

*next day*

Natsu was awaken by the alarm clock, without hesitation he got up and gathered all the things he will bring. He took his phone and called a cab that arrived as soon as he shut his phone.

*at flight*

Natsu sat beside the window airplane, looking outside with full of clouds and blue sky, he then started to close his eyes slowly blurring all those vision upon him.

*an hour later*

The flight only took 2 hours, so Natsu still have time to find a hotel or an apartment perhaps, to stay within 4 months, he took this task because, why not he say? He don't have any things to do or work on so why not? He then, started to rent an apartment that the rich woman told him to stay which was near the sea and the garden that was just across the street. 

After he took the apartment rent, Natsu has been called by the lady to go across the street to work unto something. He stood up bringing his camera case and other gadgets that's been needed from his work, he stood upon the big mansion beside the small apartment, it was gigantic, cypress trees surrounding the front lawn, and beautiful green cow grass upon the fully trimmed lawn, it reminds him of the movie he watched especially fantasy genre ones.

He was there in awe, someone approached him, it was an old man wearing a fine suite, Natsu greeted him with a slight bow, also in confusion why the lady didn't showed up, the old man said he is going to be the person who will introduce him to the finest garden behind the mansion, which Natsu just agreed without thinking for a second. "Please, we must stay silent, for the young man was having a rest, after his long day." Natsu agreed by a nod, and wondered who this 'young man' is.

The old man stopped infront of a big oddly designed gate, and opened it slowly, then lights coming from there that viewed the most amazing garden Natsu have seen in his life, there's different kind of flowers in each section, and a located pond beside the flower garden with water lilies upon it, and at the center of the upmost garden was a big umbrella tree, that was a good place to meditate and have a quiet moment, and also the fact that when you look at the left side of the garden you can see the beautiful blue ocean just beside it, reminding him that this is just a big fantasy.

*an hour later*

After that tour, he was taking freestyle pictures all over, and figuring out how to picture these better, while sitting on a white copper chair and table, there he can hear, a tingling sound of the piano, it was relaxing, the way that it sounds and the music with the birds flying and chirping all over, Natsu listened to the piano sound until at the middle it suddenly stopped, guessing what it is he stood up and tried to thought about where that sound came from.

But after this, he sat again and trying not to mind other's buisness.

The sun was about to set and he fixed his camera and things he used, with the old man guiding him while he left the mansion.

He walked straight to the apartment and residing the stuff he used, while there's still time on watching the sun set.

He ran through outside the apartment wearing a coat, he then saw someone on a bench sitting near shore, it was a guy with a black fixed hair, wearing a brown leather coat, Natsu approached him and asked if it was okay to sit, the guy's eyes and Natsu's met, his eyes were blue like an ocean, it was the most prettiest eyes he have seen after his loved one died.

The sound of the wave has heard upon the shore, Natsu stood there in silence, the feeling was back, but it still hurts. The guy smiled at him as if he knew him, "nice to meet you!" He greeted. "you're the person who was assigned to take pictures on our garden right?" Natsu dumbfounded, he replied "I-I am.." and telling himself that why is he stuttering like an idiot, then it reminded him of the old guy said, and thought that maybe this guy is the the 'young man' that old guy was talking about. "do you live in that mansion?" Natsu suddenly asked. The guy looked at him in awe, "how'd you know?" He said with a chuckle, "oh, also, my name is Hinode, Hinode Rin." Natsu replied back "My name is Natsu Kurosaki, it was nice meeting you." Natsu said with a smile. 

Everytime Natsu looked at Hinode's eyes it feels like he was in a dream... A nightmare perhaps, that reminded him of the past he  dosen't wanna be on anymore, he tried everything to remove that memory but it was still there somewhere, the past that reminded him loving someone was meaningless, it gave him pleasure for a while but returned everything into pain and sorrow.

"are you okay..?" Asked Hinode with a smile, but it just made everything worse, Natsu ran to his apartment trying not to tear up, Hinode was about to follow him, but The old guy saw him and demands him to go back inside, the smile from Hinode's lips started to drift off, what did I do..?

Hinode asked himself.
