A Flavor to Love
16-2
"We're breaking up," Luna said flatly and tightly before Daichi to make the atmosphere of the cafe owned by Kei who was famous for turning silent as if without meaning to make Daichi silent a thousand languages did not think the words would come out for a second time from Luna. In the past, it was only a form of protest Luna because she felt she was too busy with her responsibilities in the company. But this time was different, Luna's gaze was cold and indifferent to him. What's his fault now?
"If this joke isn't funny at all Luna," Daichi laughed crisply in response to Luna's serious face.
"Do I look like I'm joking with Daichi?" Luna remained in her upright sitting position while her hands that she placed between her thighs were tightly intertwined trying to withstand the emotional turmoil.
"This time what was the reason," Raut Daichi's face turned serious following Luna.
"I'm tired and tired of playing with you," the squeeze of Luna's hand tightened as she said the words that pinched her chest in pain. Don't cry here Luna.don't cry.or everything will fall apart...
"What do you mean?" Daichi again asked to make sure Luna's speech was not wrong to sound in her ears and this time she leaned more towards Luna who still had a flat expression on her face.
"Don't I ever say that it's not good to be arrogant Daichi?" Luna smiled disdainfully at Daichi. He thanked the genes of his Papa who had a slightly haughty face so that he could cover up the pain that increasingly hit his heart in droves. "I'm content to take my revenge on a man who plays with a woman like you. I'm also sick of playing friends with your sister. So let's just stop this madness and live each other like we don't know each other anymore, okay?"
"You..," Daichi grumbled his teeth feeling he was slapped hard with the reality he was facing. It's insane! He can be played twice by women?! How is it different from a donkey? No, this is worse! He was even more stupid than a donkey and this time he was helpless considering his love for the girl had gone too deep. Daichi squeezed out his claustrophobic chest as if he had been hit by a huge rock pressing deep. He closed his eyes trying to suggest that what he was going through was nothing. He will be fine after successfully passing through a sudden nightmare greeting without giving visible signs.
"Oh yes, I have to go back to work again," Luna stood up from her seat. "Thank you for filling my boring free time all along," Not forgetting that he patted Daichi on the shoulder and whispered to the man's ear to reassure his acting and immediately rushed to leave Daichi towards the back door of the cafe. Kei who saw the strangeness in their relationship today immediately approached Daichi, while Luna who had reached the back door of the cafe immediately sat crouching down and made sure her hands covered her already flooded face with tears.
"Why Pa? Why could Mom and Dad do such a horrible thing? Does Papa not know the impact of his karma on me?" Luna sat helplessly on the floor of her apartment after listening to a story from Daniel. Her tears were inevitably dripping down both of her cheeks. "It is fitting that I was met by the two brothers as if I fell to make amends for the mistakes that Papa and Mama have done to their parents..."
"I'm sorry Papa, Luna." Daniel, who couldn't cover up his guilt, immediately embraced his only daughter. Even the very difficult word 'sorry' spoken by him cannot be avoided to be spoken to Luna.
"I love Daichi Pa." Luna said softly. "I also love Kirana Pa.., she was my first friend and friend.., why did it become like this..."
"I'm sorry, Papa Nak..."
“You guys have a fight?" Kei asked who was about to hold Daichi's shoulder to make sure that his best friend was okay.
THE PLAQUE!
Daichi's hand shook Kei and left his cafe in a huff. His face looked angry, annoyed, and disappointed but he could not express it with words. It seemed like Daichi had never been this rude to him for long. What happened to this pair of people? It felt like yesterday their relationship was still fine, how could in the blink of an eye change drastically like this?

"Take off or I kick yourself and then yell!" Kirana was trying to take off the possessive sack that was currently hugging her.
"I beg you to let me put it this way for a moment" Akio sipped Kirana's long hair making the girl speechless. Ah, the intoxicating fragrance of the blend of lavender and vanilla that he longs to always be near...
At first Akio only wanted to see Kirana from a distance who seemed happy to play with a collection of yellow butterflies in the green expanse of nature that stretches. Seeing Kirana's loud laughter as if there was no self in the girl's heart made her feel afraid. The same fear of loss when both parents were about to leave on their last business trip which left a long lonely wound until the presence of a girl named Kirana. He was afraid that the girl's love for him had disappeared into disappointment due to his cowardice. With a rash move without thinking about the consequences, Akio turned Kirana's body around and immediately hugged her as if he did not want her to let go forever.
"I'm sorry.." Kirana did not expect that those words were thrown from a cold figure like Akio. "Please give me one more chance to be with you. I promise this time will be ready and dare to face Daichi, no-no, even I will be ready and dare to face both of your parents to ask you to be with me.”
Akio let go of his embrace and looked at Kirana's face which was still confused and full of question marks about her actions. He clasped Kirana's little shoulder. “Please be willing to be patient waiting for me to realize all that. You understand?”
Tub hypnotized by Akio's pair of night-dark eyeballs, Kirana just fell silent and nodded her head. After Akio got the answer he wanted, he rushed away from the girl with a thin smile on his face filled his entire confidence to fight for what he wanted.
Am I not hallucinating? I didn't see and hear wrong, did I? Kirana patted her cheeks to the redness to make sure that what Akio said was real and not because of her desperation to the point of fantasizing that the man would fight for their relationship.
“Aduh sick...,” Kirana stopped her cheek pat that managed to make her blush even more. His heart thumping rang out in his ears as he digested that Daichi's speech was real. It tries to calm the feeling. God, it's real.it's real! Kirana's lips trembled as the ridge of her lips formed a parabolic arch on an unexpected expression of happiness after she felt slammed into a bottomless dark abyss until the pain felt numb and detached from her body and soul.
“Do you think we should report about today's incident, Miyazawa-san?” The woman in all black clothes with a short piece of shoulder looked from a distance behind shady trees.
“Don't you see how much the two people love each other, Suzuki-san?” The woman, whose full name is Keiko Miyazawa, answers with a throw of questions back to her juniors at the security company they work for.
“I know it's Miyazawa-san, but we're here professionally paid by Daichi Matsumoto to look after the Young Miss,” Ayu Suzuki took a deep breath and held both hands on her chest. “Does allowing this all not mean that we are losing professionalism in maintaining the trust of those who hire our services?”
“The professionalism does not mean that it does not involve the affairs of the heart of Suzuki-san,” Keiko smiled and immediately approached Kirana who was still busy with her heartbeat that hinted at love in the man who had disappeared from before her. “Something when you'll understand I mean..”.
Ayu was still confused by the senior's remark and followed him from behind.
