Cherry Blossom Love's

PEOPLE FROM THE PAST

' Emi, are you okay?' I was worried because I saw him sluggish. Emi just kept quiet and didn't answer my question. ' Are you sick? If it hurts, you go home, I can handle the work here'.

' Jn...'. The look on his face began to change, his eyes began to glaze over, a second later he cried hugging me. ' Why did he come again, I started to waver, I couldn't hate him, I still liked him', he exclaimed.

I patted his back gently, trying to calm him down. Emi cried so much, I understand how she feels right now.

' How about it's going to be'.

' He's calmed down, let him rest'.

' I've never seen him like this'.

' Because he never showed it to you. Do you remember the time he went to Ireland and you know what happened'.

' The man is married'.

' Did she tell you with a smile'.

Hiro sighed remembering the incident. ' It's all my fault because I was too hard on her, even I have no idea how she felt back then, she must have suffered so much. She's my sister, I know for a fact that she already likes someone, whatever she'll do.'

' Don't blame yourself, all we can do now is calm him down. She must be depressed about meeting Riku again'.

' What!!!! Riku see him?'. I'm nodding. ' I'll make the calculation ".

' Hiro's'. I pulled his hand to block his intention. ' Don't do that, it'll all get complicated later'.

' Okay'. Hiro gave up and followed my advice. ' Please my brother Nei, I don't know what to do'.

' Of course, no matter how I'm going to do it, relax'.

Yes that day, the day Emi met Riku, she was very shocked to see Riku in front of her. Riku smiled at him and asked how he had been all this time.

' Why are you here'.

' I want to see you'.

' For what?'.

' Echan what's wrong with you, I miss you so much'.

' No don't say that'.

' Echan, I'm so worried about you, I can't even reach you. I came to your apartment and to your college but you weren't around, even you came home without telling me. Why are you like this'.

' Why? Why should I tell you, you are not a man who is no longer free'.'

' Echan explain to me, what do you mean'.

' Just ask the woman, ask the boy who called you father, don't make me a despicable person, Riku'.

' Echan, this is not what you think it is'.

' I'm sorry, I don't want to hear anymore, it's enough, I've forgotten you so please don't bother me anymore'.

' Echan, you can't treat me like this'.

' Take off me Riku'. Emi thrashed but Riku continued to stand in her way. Riku continues to force Emi to stay with him, but Emi continues to refuse.

' Let go!!!' scream someone.

' Ryu's'.

' Can't you be softer on a woman'.

' This is none of your business'.

' Of course it's my business, so don't see Emi again or you know the consequences' Ryu brings a frightened Emi into his car. In Emi's car just silent, Ryu did not dare to ask what really happened. Silently Ryu glanced at Emi and seen occasionally he wiped away her tears.

' Ryu thank you'.

' No problem, miss'.

' Please keep this a secret to my brother'.

' Good miss'.

Then Emi leaned her head and started closing her eyes.

------

' Neira's'. How surprised I was to see someone call me that. I don't know how to respond because I'm currently with Hiro. ' During time not to meet', he said.

' How are you Riku'. Hiro who was next to me immediately glared at me. I shook my head so he wouldn't do anything.

' I'm good', he said. ' Can we talk'.

' Is she your boyfriend now, weren't you close to Takuya'.

' Ah.it'. I don't know what to say because suddenly Riku mentioned Takuya's name in front of Hiro.

' You guys talk, I'm leaving', Hiro said suddenly and left me and Riku.

' Your boyfriend must be angry that I offended Takuya'.

I sighed, We just didn't date how could Hiro be angry.

' Just right, is this about Emi, did you meet her'.

' Of course I'll see him'.

' Riku do you know what you've done to him'.

' I don't know Nei, so I came to see you'.

' If you're married and have children, don't see Emi again'.

' Married? Son?, what are you talking about?'.

' Emi told me that you were married, when Emi asked you to come to see her where you used to meet, she saw you with a woman and a child'.

' But I never knew Echan asked me to see him'.

' He sent you Riku's message'.

' I don't accept it'.

' What???'.

Riku sighed and finally understood the current situation. ' It must have been Hiromi, she must have done it. It's only fitting that every time I call Echan he doesn't pay attention to her, she must have misunderstood'.

' So you're not married'.

' Of course, what I tried so hard for all this time, even when he came there, I didn't have time to accompany him as often as I could because I wanted to show him that I must have a good job. I wanted to marry her, so I came here. But, why it's like this, she must hate me so much'.

' So this is just a misunderstanding'.

' Hiromi did approach me, but I just considered her a friend, I already rejected her, I didn't know that Hiromi did this to me. He's made our relationship ruined'.

' Be calm Riku', I said calming him down. I really feel sorry for him, it turns out that there have been people who want to separate Emi and Riku. ' Emi's'. I was surprised to see him with Hiro.

' Echan'.

' Is that true, he's a nobody'.

' Of course. You know I came back here and came straight to you because I wanted to propose to you, I also wanted to say that I would stay here again because they accepted me and put me in the branch office here. Echan I don't know what Hiromi did to you, but I'm not what she said, trust me'.

' I will kill you if you dare to hurt my sister again', Hiro said threateningly and then immediately left them.

' Sister'.

' Brother? She's your sister, Echan'.

' He's my brother'.

' Nei's'.

' You go ahead, I have to go', I said interrupting Riku's words.

' Echan I'm sorry I hurt you, I didn't know that Hiromi did it on purpose to separate us'.

' I was also wrong not to listen to your explanation and at that time I also left without news. I really believe that you already have a family'.

' Echan', said Riku hugging him. ' We're repairing our relationship, I want to be with you, I want to marry you'.

' You're sure'.

' Do you doubt me'. Emi shook her head. ' Echan, I will try to always make you happy, so accept my proposal'.

Emi laughed at Riku who was proposing to her at the moment. ' Basic, never changing, unromantic. Well I accept you, after all who loves you like this but me'.

Riku hugged her tightly then kissed her forehead. ' Thank you Echan, I love you'.

' I am too'.

Not far from where they were, Hiro and Emi observed their movements from earlier.

' This misunderstanding is over, too', I chirped. I looked at him and found him looking at me. ' Why do you see me like that'.

' Who is Takuya', he asked with a serious look on his face. I who heard this question could not say anything. There's nothing I can tell her right now, because I have no reason to explain to her who Takuya really is.
