After that purple flower; my feeling, my way of looking at her, everything changed drastically.....
Soon enough, my parents told me that we are shifting to Tokyo. Like every other kid, I started to show my tantrums but as you may have guessed it was all in vein. I wanted to say her 'goodbye' but I couldn't instead I wrote a letter for her with all my heart!
And just like that one day on my way after so many years I saw a girl with same deep cut on the right side of her neck. And when I look into her eyes, it didn't took me spilt second to realize it was her. Same royal bluish eyes with the calmness of sea. I deliberately took a flower from her shop and left my keys. No matter how many I dropped my stuff at her place she never realized it was me......
But when she recognized me, it was way too late. I shouldn't have dropped my handkerchief. If I haven't then she would have been with me; sitting next to me. And just like that tears rushed down my cheecks.
"It's all my fault", I cried. " Don't blame yourself, Haru" A gentle voice came from behind. " Why did you leave your bed? Where's the nurse? Why are you standing? Haven't you heard what the doctor said? Get back to your bed!",I said in one big breath. "Calm down, Haru" She whispered while sitting next to me. "It's going to be just fine" She embraced my hand like a small baby and gave rest to her head on my shoulder.....
After a month or so, Masami continued her flower shop. And well, now she also had ' a house to call it hers'. The best part was that we decided to live together and moreover, now she couldn't see people fading away.............
Now, sometimes she makes lunch for me I really hate to say it but she sucks at cooking. She knows the fact but still everytime she tries harder and more diligently. And on every sundays we go on mountains for spending more time and to collect flowers.
Sometimes she sleeps next to me like she used to do with her grandma and hustles back to her room when she sees me waking up. I just couldn't control my laughter when she does stuff like this. "Why are you smiling like that? " Masami  asked while bending forward and I just start messing up her hairs. She gets angry I do that but she loves it when I do stuff like that!!!





Thanks for being a part of my story.... -Haru
