Snow In December

"Moichido (again) let me see the smile that adorns his face, again I want to see his childish behavior. Moichido onegaidesu (once again please)." Hinana's mind when looking at Ren without a smile on her face.

" I feel like Mr Ren's attitude today isn't as usual?" ariko.

" Don't make Susana into Ariko's storm, we've failed you shouldn't bring it up again." Reply Emi approaching printing machine.

" Gommen, but you've all done your best. Ganbatte ne in the upcoming festival."

"Arigatou, this is your job today." Emi gave him a stack of papers that Ariko had to work on. And Ariko happily accepted and started working on it.

When the break arrived, as usual Hinana ate the food she bought in the rooftop. Although Emi invites him to lunch with Hinana rejects him because he prefers to be alone.

" You didn't bring food?" ren opened the conversation with Hinana.

" I went home to the apartment, my aunt was in Tokyo" replied Hinana and ate the Onigiri she bought.

"Sokka (oh so)."

"Have you eaten?" ask Hinana.

" Nothing I want to eat."

"Emm. Eat this I'm full." Hinana gives one of her onigiri to Ren then returns to her routine.

"Hey Hinana, I told you I don't want to eat anything today" cried Ren so that Hinana turned around and looked back.

" Emm, eat tomorrow. I'm back at work first." Hinana immediately leaves Ren and rushes, because soon she has to prepare a project for a meeting together.

But before he actually left, he peeked at Ren and made sure that the onigiri he was in was actually eating. His smile was without floating when he saw Ren eating the onigiri he bought.

"Yokatta (thankfully)." Hinana's inner self was honestly worried about the events of that time, and Ren had just been discharged from the hospital yesterday.

The meeting began immediately, and all the employees were gathered in the room. Although Ren has returned to hold the company but his father is still always accompanying Ren. Hinana also began to present the results.

"Alright if you already understand, just start setting the place and location. And make sure..."

KRUKK KRUKKK. (the voice of Ren's stomach sounds, because from this morning he only ate onigiri from Hinana).

"And make sure..."

KRUKK KRUKK again stopped because of the sound of his stomach. Of course everyone in the room could hear it, not even a few of them held back a laugh.

" Struggard ...... It's a shame." said Ren in his heart. He's hungry now.

"Sumimasen, let's just end up here." Ren immediately ended it because he also knew his employees heard the sound of his stomach.

"Ren you haven't eaten?" ask her father before leaving the meeting room.

"Of course it is." Ren answered his father's question.

"It seems that one onigiri is not enough for your stomach" said Hinana and passed through Ren. Honestly, Hinana wanted to laugh out loud. But it is also impossible because it was an important project that was talked about. Of course it wasn't Ren if he couldn't make people laugh.

"Hey, can you accompany me to a meal?" Ren restrains Tsubaki who is about to exit the room.

" But I've had quite a lot of lunch."

"Come on with me." Ren immediately embraces Tsubaki and takes her out.

It was also after seeing Ren and Tsubaki come out. Hinana, Emi and Ariko both let out laughter from earlier in the room.

"It's just that his height is always ridiculous." cried Emi.

"Truely, it seems like he has to eat a lot after getting out of the hospital." no less frenzied also Hinana said Ren

"You all go back to work. Oh yeah so is he your boss, so keep the attitude." Jouji Ren's father reprimands the three.

"Sumimasen.." said the three with a lowered head. Aware of his wrongdoings, after apologizing they returned to his work as well as Hinana.

Two hours passed Hinana's hand felt like it would be broken by replying to emails from her clients.

"When will all this end." murmured Hinana and stretched her hand. Then he sees Ren and Tsubaki have returned.

"Ne Tsubaki san has Ren eaten properly?" hinana asked in a whisper because her desk was not far from Tsubaki.

"Hem of course, don't worry about going back to work." Tsubaki replied and started reading the files from Hinana.

When her work was done, Hinana set her foot to go home. But before he really went home he went to visit the Mall of course to the restaurant where Shota worked.

"Hinana." call Shota from a distance and wave. Hinana retorted and excitedly walked up to him.

"Sounds like you're very busy?" ask Hinana.

"Of course, after this my shift is over. You want to wait for me?"

"Wakatta (well). Finish your work I wait there." said Hinana pointing at the seat in question.

Hinana and Shota head to the tavern for dinner. He ordered a steak for the menu tonight.

"Well, what brings you to me?" ask Shota and sip sake.

"Tell me honestly, what's Ren's illness." To the point Hinana wants to make sure. Hearing the question from Hinana of course Shota was surprised. Because all this time the only one who knew about Ren's disease was his family

"Where do you know Ren's sick."

"He told me but afterwards in a laugh. I still can't believe if it's real or just a joke. He also said that he would die when he was thirty. All day long I thought about it so you must know if it was right or wrong" Hinana explained her heart.

"Then what answer do you expect from my mouth?" Shota has not answered any questions from Hinana, instead throwing questions.

"Of course I wish that Ren was just joking. Because maybe he was still sad about his failure, so his words were slurred."

"Then your hope does not come true, for my mouth does not gnaw like that."

"Kara afternoon? (then?)." asked Hinana and her hand tightly grasped the dress.

Shota exhaled a burning breath before answering a question from Hinana. To be honest, talking about his sister's illness was very painful for him.

"What Ren said was right. So there's no reason not to believe it."

Hinana still can't believe it, or are these sisters deliberately pranking her. He looked closely at Shota's eyes, looking for what was all right. A moment of silence began to rule the room. There was no sound from either Hinana or Shota.

And Hinana was still harmonizing her feelings, she was holding back all her might not to cry. But the tears fell without her permission. Shota still did not say anything he took his handkerchief and gave it to Hinana. Dark clouds seemed to fill the two, looking at the crying Hinana made Shota's feelings shake.

"How can you tell your situation to the one you love so much. Seeing him cry like this, what about you? I want to feel like I'm hugging your woman, but I also know that you're definitely not okay right now."((Koizumi Shota)
