Struggle and Love

First meeting since separation

Rin and Hajime return to the workshop after repairing Taro's car. Aiko, who knew they were back, told them to have lunch first. But Rin and Hajime chose to eat out. They plan to eat at Rin's father's shop. Because Hajime got a decent tip from Taro.

"Sir Aiko, we'll have lunch outside" Hajime said

"Where to eat" asked Aiko

"In my father's shop" said Rin

"Oh in Kobayashi sir, I'm going with you" Aiko said she wanted to come to lunch together

"Ikut aja, who treat Hajime. Eat as much hahahaha" Rin allows Aiko to come along so Hajime dizzy pay her

"Sir, what will not be less money" Hajime felt trapped by Rin

"Prepare if your wallet is dry if Aiko goes with hahahaha" Rin laughs wickedly, because Rin was once Aiko's victim if eating must be a lot

The three of them left for Rin's father's shop on foot. Because the shop and workshop are pretty close. Arriving in front of the tavern, hajime was like no stranger to the same car parked in front.

"It's not the car we fixed earlier" Hajime said

"Yes, the plates are the same. How did they get here" asked Rin

"I remember, the car owner asked me where to eat. I give you the brochure of this tavern hehehe" replied Hajime

"That's smart, added the customer again at the father's shop" Rin gave a thumbs up to Hajime

"You go through the front, I go through the back and help for a moment" said Rin

"Ok, good masakin yes" said Aiko

"Yes if I cook, hahaha" replied Rin

They split up in front of the store. Rin passes behind, while Hajime and Aiko pass through the entrance. A couple sat at the front desk. Hajime greeted them.

"Hi sir, we'll meet here" Hajime said to the taro

"Well, you told me this shop" replied Taro

"Yes sir, please enjoy the meal" After Hajime greeted, he immediately sat at the table with Aiko.

Shuzu asked Taro, who greeted him earlier. Taro replies that he was the mechanic who fixed the car earlier. Hearing that, Shuzu felt that there must be Rin around here. But Rin is still not seen. Shuzu approached Hajime and asked.

"Sorry, your friend who helped fix the car did not come" asked Shuzu

"Oh him, maybe still wash your hands" Hajime replied

"If you can tell whose name he is" asked Shuzu

"His name is Rin, he's the son of the owner of this tavern" Hajime's reply left Shuzu shocked. He also returned to his desk

"You know them" asked Taro

"No, I just asked you something" replied Shuzu

Taro begins to get suspicious of Shuzu's attitude which suddenly changes since seeing the mechanic. After the meal, Taro pays to the cashier and invites Shuzu to continue their journey. Shortly after, when Shuzu opens the door to exit the store, Rin comes out of the kitchen with her friends' orders. Shuzu turned around when he heard Rin's voice. But Rin did not have time to look at the door and went back to the kitchen to pick up the leftovers his friend had ordered. Shuzu breaks off his intention to talk to Rin and opts out of the tavern following Taro. Rin went back to her friends' table.

"Sir Rin, there was something you wanted" Hajime said

"No, the woman who was with the man whose car we fixed earlier" Hajime explained

"What's his name, why ask me" Rin asked back to Hajime

"I forgot not to ask her name, she was just asking about your name. Do you have any acquaintances with a woman in Tokyo" Hajime asked

"Women's acquaintances, just a few. No need to discuss, let's eat" Rin tried to divert the conversation about tokyo. Because there are so many memories that he has to forget there.

***

After eating, they returned to the shop. Rin still thinks of the woman who asked Hajime his name. He thought about the woman from Tokyo who asked him about her name, but no one he knew in Tokyo knew she was in Kyoto. But for a moment he instantly dispelled his curiosity. He's happy here. He has friends and family who are always there for him. Since Kyoto, Rin has never played social media. his HP was only made to contact his friends in Kyoto. His old friends in Tokyo, no one has his number.

It was late, Rin who came home from work immediately rushed to his father's shop to help clean up and close the shop. Father and mother go home first, while Rin closes the tavern. After he locked the door of the shop, he was approached by a woman who was none other than Shuzu. Shuzu deliberately leaves at night to meet Rin. Because he did not want Taro to report to his father because he met another man.

"Hi, we haven't seen each other in a long time" Shuzu said

Rin turned her body when she heard a woman greeting her. He was shocked to see Shuzu in front of him. Feeling still in disbelief, he continued to rub his eyes. He felt it was just an illusion.

"You didn't expect to see me here either" Shuzu said reassuringly that he wasn't an illusion

"You can be here, lest you ask Hajime" Rin remembered Hajime's words this afternoon if anyone asked him about his name

"Yes, I want to make sure that it's really you" Shuzu replied

"Why did you come here, this man in the afternoon means your future husband too" asked Rin

"Yes, he's the one I've been betrothed to, I've been to Kyoto to get acquainted with his family" Shuzu replied, explaining his presence in Kyoto to Rin

"Keet you why go to the store at night, your future husband will look for you" Rin asked Shuzu why he went to the store at night

Suddenly Shuzu hugged Rin and cried in her arms.

"You don't cry, it's not good to hear people. Already yes, we enter the store first" Rin invited while calming down Shuzu

Get them both in the store. Rin gets a drink for Shuzu.

"You drink first, don't cry. Later I think you are okay" said Rin

"This is all because of you, for a year I have always harbored my sorrow for your loss. Did I mean nothing to you, you know I don't know" asked Shuzu

Rin is confused about what to answer, because for a year his feelings for Shuzu have not been able to be removed.

"Oh, you want to get married. Why we should talk about the past. Your future will be brighter with the man of your parents' choice.forget me, I'll just be a burden to you" Rin tries to explain to Shuzu that she forgot about him, because he's getting married soon

"I want to get married just because my father is sick now not because of love" Shuzu replied

"It's late, I'll drive you home. This hour there are no vehicles at all in this area" Rin asked

Actually, Shuzu still wants to be with Rin for tonight, but Rin says it's not good. Because she already has a husband.

Rin escorts Shuzu only up to a few meters away from the Taro family home so that no one suspects her of going out for a night with someone's future wife.

"You've got a future husband, forget me, dedicate it to your father. I will be a burden to you. May you be happy" After Rin says it all, she leaves Shuzu. Shuzu felt a deep pain in his heart. His loved ones, finally said the farewell words. Rin actually still loves Shuzu, but for the sake of Shuzu's future, it's better for him to feel it deeply. He does not want Shuzu to be burdened with their love. Taro sees Shuzu among a man on a motorcycle, but it is not clear who is riding the bike. Taro, who has believed in Shuzu, begins to have suspicions about Shuzu.
