The Present Or Future

Feelings

Back at school, as planned by Haru and Akihiro, they finally gathered before heading to Mayumi's house to visit her. Surely Haru called Misaki before leaving and waited for her at the school gate

Shortly after, Misaki comes and joins them. Surely Misaki's face is no stranger to Haru's friends, because Misaki is already known as a library guard, and her name is often included in the list of students with the best grades

On the way, Haru and Rin, Mayumi's best friend, chatted for a while. They talked about Mayumi's nature when she was nearby

"I? Hmm, you could say Mayumi like a normal girl as usual. The two of us have been close since we met at this school, and I can say that Mayumi is the one who understands me the most" said Rin, Mayumi's best friend

Rin then asked back. "You yourself what do you think of his behavior when he was around you?"

"Hmm, let me remember. Maybe his nature is a little pushy in front of me"

"Forced? What does that mean?"

"You yourself know that Mayumi is famous for her tomboyish nature. In front of me, she was trying to remove her nature, and she was trying to be like a girl in general. But the nature of the tombo is still visible"

"But doesn't that mean he has progress? At least he tried to get rid of his bad habits, especially with men. You could say you're a lucky man because he dared to open himself up to you"

"Well, with other men, it's not like that?"

"Yep, you're right. Not only men, even the girls also sometimes issued the bad nature. So it seems like it is difficult to fix all of that. You could say you were his first step to change his personality"

"Hmm, but he's not so with Misaki. Don't you?" Haru said while looking at Misaki who was walking alone behind him. Seeing Misaki who was only alone walking behind him, Haru then invited her

"What are you doing? Come on, join us. You also talked to Mayumi when you were in the library at the time?"

Before replying to that, Misaki then hurriedly walked in the middle between Haru and Rin with a slight feeling of embarrassment. "Y-yeah, haha. We talked for a while, but I think she's like a normal girl as always" Misaki replied

Rin then asked back. "So? Doesn't he look creepy in front of you?"

"Current? Maybe it was at first. But as we talked more and more, his scary face disappeared"

"intriguing. Rarely do Misaki like that with a new person. Or maybe you've changed it Haru? You two are friends"

"Eh!? You may be right about our relationship. But changing its nature depends on the person"

Misaki cut off the conversation of the two of them and looked at Haru's face. "I just found out that you're that close to Mayumi"

"Why indeed?" Answer Haru

"I'm just worried he'll be jealous to see you keep coming at my place during the break. And that's why he's gonna hate me too"

"Just calm. He already knows. After all, Mayumi doesn't really hate other people that much as you don't hate her first"

"He's right, don't follow the guy who's there. Leaving behind the feelings of the girl who liked him just because there was a girl who was prettier than him," Rin said with a slightly irritated feeling when she saw Akihiro walking right in front of them with her boyfriend

Haru whispered in a soft voice. "Hey slow down your voice! He'll hear it"

"Haha, just calm down. You see, he's just busy with his girlfriend. It's like we're not around"

"Anu... Is that really the person that Mayumi likes?" Ask Misaki

"You're right, Mayumi and that guy were very close since childhood. It's only natural that Mayumi has feelings for her," Rin replied

Seeing the two of them busy talking. Haru put earphones in his ears and played some songs until he arrived at Mayumi's house

Everyone has seen Mayumi's house, except Misaki, who is the first time she has visited Mayumi's house

"Well, this house is really big! I can hardly believe that this house belongs to Mayumi" Misaki said

"I also thought the same thing when I first saw his house. But that's the truth" Haru replied

Haru came over to Akihiro and asked. "Akihiro, you made sure that Mayumi was at her house, right?"

Moments later, Mayumi's mother opened the gates and let them enter her house with a warm smile. A smile that no longer feels foreign, because of course the smile is almost like Mayumi

Seeing Akihiro visiting once again to his house, his mother Mayumi was shocked and said. "Eh! Akihiro, you've finally come too. You haven't been here in a long time, have you been visiting too?"

Trying to make her smile, Akihiro responded. "That's how aunty. I'm sorry that I rarely come here to visit"

"The others, too, you sit here. Mayumi was in her room. Wait a minute, I'll call you"

Leaving those in the main room. Haru immediately approaches and calls Akihiro away from her friends including her boyfriend Akihiro. Haru then whispered to Akihiro

"If you still doubt so, you'll regret it later"

Hearing that, it certainly made Akihiro a little surprised. "What does that mean!?"

"I already know. You've planned this, haven't you? Actually you wanted to tell Mayumi's mom that you already have a boyfriend. That's why you brought your girlfriend here"

"Why do you know that far?"

"I just realized it when we were heading here. You look so tense, that's why you kept talking to your boyfriend from earlier because you wanted to ask him for advice on how he said your relationship to him"

"Huffs... I gave up. I didn't know you could see that much detail Haru"

"Haha, it's just a coincidence Akihiro. Just coincidental. So how? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"I don't know what to talk to Mayumi's mother like"

"You just say it as you normally would" Haru replied

"That looks easy. But the problem is that I don't want our friends to hear it. Fear of strange rumors will spread again throughout the school"

"Ah, I get it. Hmm, how about you create a situation where you're just the three of you?"

"How is it?"

And as usual. The activity went well. Mayumi was delighted that her friends were visiting her. While his friends are also happy to hear the news that his injuries are getting better. Mayumi may return to school in about 2-3 days as usual

Finished with everything, his friends were already preparing to go home. Except for Haru, Akihiro and his girlfriend, Sayuri

As Haru planned, Haru had already asked Mayumi's mother for permission for them to stay for a while on the grounds that there was something they were talking about with Mayumi. Though in fact it was a reason to make Akihiro able to talk to her mother Mayumi about her relationship with her boyfriend

Meanwhile, Haru did indeed have some business with Mayumi. As Haru planned, he invited her to gather in the main room, while Mayumi who realized it immediately invited Haru into his room

He's a little embarrassed. But due to circumstances, he was forced to enter the women's room for the first time

Entering Mayumi's room, she looked around her room full of little dolls, and there were a few piles of books on her study table. "I'm sorry it's a little messy" Mayumi said

"It's okay! Just relax with me. Oh yeah, by the way, take this"

"What'sthis? A notebook?"

"Y-yeah, I was just worried you'd miss a lesson. That's-that's even if you want to anyway, my writing is also a little messy. Haha!"

"Eh! Ma-thank you. I-I didn't expect you to write this much. I really feel helped!" Mayumi answered by once again putting on her smiley face

Because of that, the two of them are getting closer. Another story with Akihiro and her mother Mayumi, what Akihiro told her mother Mayumi about her new boyfriend made the relationship between Akihiro and Mayumi will be more tenuous
