23 March, it is a sunny day with a nice breeze for the touch. The sun shines brightly in the sky, the birds chirping happily and some of the Cherry Blossom flower has bloom near Hibiki's Dorm. Indeed it is a beautiful day that to went outside and meet up with friends and the loved one. Yet, that is not the case for Hibiki.

Hibiki had been in relationship with Clara for about a year and nine months. Yes, it's quite a long time to be together, yet up until now, none of them know how to deal with each other. Just half year before, they argued about simple things and now, they barely even speak.

It's started when Clara lied to Hibiki for months, despite that, she didn't told him the reasons and insist that she was forced by her friends. It's hurt Hibiki deeply, because he trusted her and just the day before, he finally know that he can trust her despite the uneasy feeling he has been felt for a few months.

It's actually not a complicated problem but both of them are too stubborn to know their own weakness. Hibiki with his coldhearted speech and Clara with her selfish attitude that only wanted attention, make them even more fell apart. Until today, marked 23 March, Clara said she finally had enough for Hibiki's cold behavior and wanted to end it all.

"You know, you've been distancing yourself more and more, and you did said that you wanted to break up with me, right? So what do you think I'm trying to say in here?", said Clara while she eat her pancake.

"I'm getting the grasp of it."

"I've talked to my parents too, and It is really sad that it goes this way."

"Indeed"

"... is that all you wanted to respond with?"

Hibiki silent. He knew the reasons she called her because of this, but it still feel unreal. He did say he had enough of her selfishness attitude but he tried to be better too, yet everytime they talked face to face, he can't see a hint of real happiness in her face.

Hibiki saw that she tried to be happy despite he can't trust her anymore. While he tried to create a word friendly sentences, she talk again,

"I've been thinking too, that it's played a lot in my attitude and after I reflected out of it, I know it's me whose at fault. It's me that keep hurting you, over and over."

"Stop it."

"No, really Hibiki. It's all my fault that we grew a part."

"Please stop... I really hate it when you only talk bad about yourself..", Hibiki can't help himself but feeling angry and thought, 'this is why I don't want you to think.. you keep thinking bad about yourself... even though you have so much good things in you...'

"..."

Silence fill the air between them.

They are talking in a café near the station. It's a nice small café, yet the crowded one. Clara asked Hibiki to choose a café and Hibiki doesn't want to talk in the quite and could give them privacy type of café because it's quite far and if it's gonna end, at least he could try to stay strong because of how much people there with them.
