~Part 2~
"Ow!" Aki grabbed the the solid handrest as she whimpered everytime Katsu pulls her hair. "Ow!"
"Katsu-chan, I think you shouldn't do that." Shin admonished to Katsu-chan but she just glared back at her. "Katsu-chan, don't look at me like that. (-_-")"
"It hurts.. (T.T)" Aki sobbed.
"Hehe. Gomen ne Aki-chan~ I just wanted to make your hair longer." Katsu pleaded, caressing her hair. "But Aki-chan, your hair will look more beautiful if we changed it's color." she added as she pulled her around to meet her face to face. "I know. I know how you feel my dear."
"What do you mean?" Aki asked, confused by the sudden change on her tone.
"You're suffering from love problems deshou?." she smirked. Aki shrieked a little as she nodded and blushed. "Look at that reaction!" she laughed. "And Ohno Satoshi is involved in this love problem of yours deshou!?" she added excitedly.
"T-T-Thats... How d-did y-you k-know???" she blushed much more.
"I know everything about you." she smirked again.
"MC Kamiyama??? (-_-")" Shin interrupted.
"Anyway, let's get started! There's no much time left!"
"What will we do first?"
"Shin, prepare to change her hair color."
"Okay. I'll be right back!"
"Katsu-chan... do we really need to change my hair color??"
"Coloring the hair in different shades has been an important key for fashion. Whether one is old or young, coloring the hair changes the entire appearance so MUCH. Often, people color their hair first and then go for a series of clothes to match with their hair color. With a change in hair color, you simply look a world different from your present looks. So if you want to give that different touch to yourself then we should change your hair color." She informed.
"But I'm not really trying to look good for the party... I just--"
"What are you saying? Don't you want to look good in front of the man you love?"
Aki blushed, biting her lower lip. "I don't want him to think that I'm a cheap girl... that I'm trying to look good even If I'm not--" she was cut off when Katsu pinched her cheeks painfully.
"You're an idiot... Ohno Satoshi is not that kind of person."
"Howr drid ryou krnorw?"
"Can't understand what your saying... what I'm saying is that Ohno Satoshi will be surprised to see a new you!"
"Wrhatr yrou srayringr???"
"Still can't understand you.. (-_-")"
Aki pulled away her hands as she caressed her cheeks. "How will you understand what I'm saying if you're pinching my cheeks..."
"Aki-chan, good luck on your confession!"
"C-Chouto, how did you know that!?"
"I already said it right.." she smirked as she stared at her. "I know everything abo--" Shin smacked her in the head as she came back, bringing the materials. "Stop that MC Kamiyama thing you're doing."
"It hurts... Shin."
"I've brought the materials already. What shall we do now?"
"Change her hair color into black."
"Ok. Aki-chan, follow me."
"Chouto Shin. I'll be the one who'll change her hair color."
"But you're scaring her."
"How am I scaring her?"
"You forced to make her hair longer. Now, you're creeping her out. It's safer if I'm the one who'll take care of her."
"You're so mean. Shin! (T.T)"
"I'm not."

Inside the gloomy room, she is staring at space. She's lying on her back on the bed. Her right arm, resting on her forehead while the other one is holding her phone. She closed her eyes. Anxiety, Pain, and Sadness overwhelmed her whole being. Tears started to flow from her eyes. Her phone is ringing yet she can't hear anything. There's too much things inside her mind that she can't feel anything outside the world anymore. She imprisoned her own self on her own gloomy world.
"Sakurai-kun! Is she your daughter?? Hehe. She's kawaii!"
"Meet my daughter, Sakurai Hana."
"Hana-chan, We're your father's friends. Did you know that your father cried like a baby when he knew that he was going to be a father! I can't forget how he looked like that time."
"Mou~ Don't say that in front of my daughter!"
"Hehe. What's wrong? Don't want your daughter see your uncool side."
"Of course I don't. I want Hana-chan to think that I'm cool."
"*giggles* Hana-chan, Is he cool or not?"
".................."
Makie woke up realizing that she drifted off while thinking about so many things.
A different scene.... but the very same dream. I don't want to admit it but... looks like they're referring to me..
They're calling me Hana. Sakurai Hana. she thought as she wiped off the dry tears on her eyes as she got off the bed, wanting to take a shower.
She took off all the piece covering her body, leaving her completely naked. She looked at herself on the big mirror in front of her. She turned on her back and turned her head towards the mirror. A big scar covers her back. This scar... whenever I see this, I always remember how father always talk to me...
"You'll become a model?"
"Yup. It's what Mom wants me to do.. So I decided to do modelling."
When my mother asked me to become a model, I immediately went to my dad's personal office. Even though he's very busy that time, he welcomed me to his office, willing to listen to me.
"I see.. If that's what you want." He said, as he caressed my head lovingly.
"Dad, A model should be flawless right?"
"Why? Is there something wrong?"
"It's just that... Uhmm..."
"You mean... the scar on your back?"
I nodded as I fidgeted.
"Don't worry about that. You can always hide it." He smiled as he patted my head.
"Dad... Can I ask something?"
"What is it? Ask me anything, I'll answer it. Come on, tell me."
"Where did I get my scar?"
I carefully observed his face that time. He forced himself to smile. I knew that he was hiding something that time.
"In an accident."
"What kind of accident?'
"Uhmmm..."
He's obviously hiding something. He always hid all the things I need to know. Everything.... He hid everything to me...
He didn't even say anything to me about the mine explosion he caused....
Deep in my heart, I know that my dad won't do something like that. He is not the kind of person to kill hundreds of people. Even if he did that, he won't get any benefit from it.
I'm sure that someone framed him up. I'm also suspicious about the witness who came to gave his testimony.
The phone is ringing. I'm sure it's mom again. I don't want to answer it. She didn't even care for me... not even once... in my whole life.
Even so... I'm still hoping. I want to pick up the phone and listen to what she will say. Is she worried about me? I want to know.
After a minute of deep concentration, I picked up the phone, listening to what she'll say.
.......
......
.....
....
...
..
.
As I suspected. She called me just to tell me that I should stick to Ohno. She told me that Ohno's grandmother is thinking of cancelling our marriage. She asked me to talk to her. After that.. she hung up.
She didn't even asked me if I was OK....... if I'm just all right.
She fell on her knees. The cold floor made her shiver. Tears started to flow continuously. She couldn't stop crying. Her heart aches so much.
It hurts... It hurts so much... I wanted to die so badly... As if someone stabbed my heart.
She palmed her face, trying to stop her tears from flowing. She can't stand the situation she's in right now. She wanted to shout. She wanted to toss all her things inside the room. She wanted someone to hug her in this moment....... just to ease the pain in her heart.
The door opened behind her as she turned around.
"M-Makie!!!" Aoyama shouted, running towards her. He kneeled as he took off his jacket and put it on her body. &qwot;What happened!? Why are you crying!?"
"Senpai..." she replied with a weak voice, as she hugged him tightly. "I'm glad you came..."
"Makie..." he mumbled with the most gentle and soft voice. He caressed her hair continually, cuddling her to comfort her.
"Senpai.. Senpai.. Senpai.." She called his name over and over again, not wanting to pull away from the hug.
"It's okay.. I won't go anywhere.. Just tell me what happened."
She shooked her head, nudging herself against his chest, wanting so much comfort to ease her pain. "Why are you here?"
"I'm worried about you.." he replied with a soft voice as put his hands on her shoulders, trying to push her away.
"Don't!" she shouted as she grabbed his back. "Please..."
"But It's cold here, You're not wearing anything too."
"It's okay." she immediately answered, tightening the hug. "I don't mind being like this.. if it's in front of you."
Aoyama didn't know how to react. What he knows is that at this moment, she needed comfort.

"That devil...." Madam Ohno snarled.
She gripped her hand in anger as she started to curse the last person she talked to.
Who's the devil between us Madam??? Me, who loves money more than anything.....or YOU.... a KILLER.
"That woman... she'll do anything just to get our money!"
"Madam. Is there something wrong?" Ohno's secretary, Sato asked.
"N-Nothing... What are you doing here?" she responded trying to regain her composure.
Sato just smiled as he handed out a folder to her. She frowned the moment she saw the contents. She scanned all the contents as she stopped instantly the moment she saw Katsuragi's name among the list of all the share holders of their company.
"Is there something wrong, Madam?"
"That devil.."
"devil??"
"Sato, who told you to include the Katsuragi on the list of the share holders!?"
"Madam... Stay calm."
"How can I stay calm!?"
"But Madam... Mrs. Katsuragi told me that you're the one who wanted to include them.."
"Are you an idiot!?"
"Uhmmm... Actually I came here for one more purpose."
"Chouto! I'm not finished talking to you yet."
"Boss said that the party will start tonight at 8 pm."
"Are you listening to me!?"
"Ohh... There's barely 1 hour left..."
"Hoi!! Are you listening!?"
"Ah! I also forgot to say that Boss told me that you should go there because his cousin's parents wanted to talk to you." He smiled. " Then, I've already said I wanted to say... so excuse me." he added as he immediately left her alone.
"How dare he ignore me like that!?" she shouted.
There's no way I would waste my time listening to her... Can't help but to ignore her. Phew!
---
At the resort, people from different kinds of professions and status are finally coming. It made Ohno nervous, thinking that he'll need to deliver the opening speech.
"Getting nervous?" Ryou asked, putting her arm around Ohno's shoulder.
"Yeah..."
"Don't sweat it. Your nervousness would instantly disappear the moment she came." he grinned.
"...maybe." He replied looking down.
"Oh... I didn't expect you to agree with me."
"I don't get nervous when I'm around her."
"Is that so?" Ryou looked up pointing his finger up the sky. "See that star?"
"What star?" Ohno looked up at the direction he's pointing as he shooked his head.
"Star of the night." he smiled. "There's so much stars in the sky yet it's the star that catches your attention the most.. why do you think it's like that?"
"I don't know."
"It's not the brightest. It's not the smallest, It's not the most sparkling star." he grinned. "But why do you think that the one who caught your attention is that star."
"It's because.. it's one of a kind..?"
Ryou bursts into laughter. "Haha. You think so?"
"What's so funny?" he frowned.
"Just kidding. Just kidding. I'm just trying to cheer you up."
"Don't you need to greet the guests?"
"Ah! I forgot!! Then, just go inside whenever you feel like it!" he said leaving him to quickly greet the guests inside.
What is he trying to say?... Ryou-kun's weird sometimes.
---
"Katsu-chan, she's ready."
"Can I see her?"
"Aki-chan, show your new look to her."
Aki followed Shin's lead as she went to show herself to Katsu. "Katsu-chan... What do you think?"
Her hair is curled up on the back of her head shaped like a rose, which made her nape visible. The blackness of her hair complements her face very well. She stands out the most with her turquoise-colored evening gown.
There's no sign of her brown-colored hair, the sloppy hairstyle she had. Even the smallest pimples on her face were gone. She is dazzling... the fragrance of her perfume engulfed the whole room.
"How do I look? Katsu-chan?"
"It's simple yet dazzling.. beautiful.. and sparkling."
"Really??" Aki asked as her eyes shined so brightly.
"Yup. All thanks to me!" Shin proclaimed.
"Good job Shin!" Katsu admonished as she looked at the time. "Come on. It's time already." She approached her as she put her hands on her shoulders. "Ganbatte ne! You have my support." she smiled.
Aki nodded as she smiled back at them.

Ohno is in a white suit, waiting for Makie to arrive. He started to start his speech when Ryou signaled him.
"Good Evening. A warm word of welcome to everyone tonight."
Ohno-kun... I wish that you'll like the new "me".
"Tonight is an exceptional evening. We're so glad that so many special people have been able to join us this evening."
I've always loved you since our first meeting...
"It brings to mind the all too true words, that at times, we should "dance like no-one is watching"!"
I've always admired you. Your kindness.. Your compassion.. You're too kind to socialize with someone like me...
"And tonight is one of those nights!"
I can't tell how much important this night is... I want to surprise you.. I want you to look only at me...
""Let's capture some magical moments, let's create happy memories and let's surround ourselves with laughter and friendship as we celebrate this special occasion."
Someday.. I wish we could stroll the city together... I wish we could hold hands together... I wish...
"Have fun, thank you for joining us and go on.. dance a little... like no one is watching."
you also share the same feeling as me...
Ohno bowed down to end his speech as the whole place went silent. He straightened himself again as he looked at the cause of silence within the whole place.
All of them turned their gaze to only one direction. He followed their gaze as he swallowed hard at the appearance of someone familiar. The whole place started to vanish from Ohno's sight. The whole place became like nothing. He opened and closed his mouth when the girl in turquoise-colored gown approached him.
"A-A-Are y-you..... N-Namase??" He could barely breathe. His heart began to thump rapidly.
"Y-Y-Yes... O-Ohno-san.." she shyly replied as she looked at his eyes.
They continued to stare at each other not minding the crowd surrounding them.
I wish my feelings could reach you....
