Hisashiburi Happiness [Long Time No See, Happiness] - Yanagami Haruka

Yanagami Haruka, Chapter 4

The traffic lamp beside me got strike by a thunder and it fell to the street. But then it explodes and people are freaking out and running from there. But then someone saved me by pulling me away from the street.

???                               : “Hey, you okay?”

Huh who’s that… I feel like I’m in someone’s arms somehow. And I open my eyes.

Me                               : !!!

It’s Haruka!

Haruka                       : “You look fine…”

Me                               : “What… happened…”

I can feel my lips are trembling when I said that. I know, I’m crying right now. The scene there is just look exactly like when I lost my parents.

Haruka                       : “H-hey why you’re crying?!”

Me                               : “M-mom…”

I can’t hear anything. The sadness is coming again to me. I look straight to the fire on the road. The rain doesn’t extinguish the fire there. I feel like I want to scream in my tears.

Haruka                       : “Mom? I’m not your mom, hey wake up! Stop being filmed at time like this, we have to get out of here now. It’s not safe here”

Me                               : “…”

I’m still in shocked and I can’t respond at Haruka’s words.

Haruka                       : “Geez…”

He lifts me up?! Just then I come back to my sense.

Me                               : “H-hey! Put me down, I’m okay!”

Haruka                       : “Yeah, you’re okay. You even call me ‘Mom’”

Me                               : “What?! I did?! S-sorry… I was…”

Haruka                       : “Yeah I know it was scary. It’s okay now”

Me                               : “Y-yeah it was…”

Haruka                       : “We should hurry, the rain is crazy…”

Me                               : “…”

Haruka                       : “…”

Me                               : “Thank you…”

Haruka                       : “For what..?”

Me                               : “Saving me again…”

Haruka                       : “Not a big deal…”

We stay silent as we walk to the station. I’m completely soaked and Haruka as well. I’m starting to feel so freezing and begin to sneeze. My head is dizzy as well. The wind blows hard, the thunder still roaring, and the rain is still pouring heavily. After minutes walking, we finally reached the station.

The station doesn’t look so busy. And lucky, the train arrives no longer after we arrive. My train arrives first.

Me                               : “Well… see you tomorrow”
