Snow In December
71 Chrysanthemum flowers

..." I just hope you don't choose the same path as me. Because I'm not sure if I can get through it. But I can't force you to leave either. Because I can't run myself."(Aoyama ko)...

Green and chrysanthemum blossoms are already blooming in the city of Kuriyama. The yellow color makes the view of Kuriyama city bright.

A young man was standing around the chrysanthemum with a lily, but his eyes went nowhere.

"Sensei." came the sweet voice of a girl.

The young man is Aoyama, with a lily arrangement that he deliberately brought for his girlfriend.

"Do you know me?" aoyama asked with some hesitation and the girl in front of him nodded.

"hum. Sensei is Hinana's friend, right? Watashi wa Arimura Tezuka - desu." He said and extended a hand.

"Aoyama kou desu." Aoyama replied without replying to Arimura's hand.

"Hey Sensei, what are you doing here?" tanya Arimura approached but Aoyama immediately gave some distance.

"I want to meet my boyfriend. You you?" Ask Aoyama back.

"Oh so, sorry to interrupt."

"No no, if you still want to be here it's okay. Looks like my boyfriend didn't come."Aoyama said as she saw Arimura leaving.

"Have you been dumped by your boyfriend? Because I was also dumped by someone I liked. I've come all the way from Paris but she still rejected me. But it's okay at least he wants to meet me and say live happily." Arimura told me a long story as if to let out all of his heart. The wind that blows and blows Arimura's hair so that it looks laughing accompanied by crying.

"Then why did you come to Kuriyama. Not an interesting thing here." Aoyama asked who was still watching Arimura.

"I just want to see the flower scene before I go back to Paris. What about Sensei? Why are you dating here?"

"I want to see it, the person I like. If you want to see beautiful flowers, go to Furano Park. Good bye." said Aoyama gave Arimura a series of lilies and left.

Saporrows

Hinana drives her car to the hospital to meet Ren.

"Koniichiwa" said Hinana slowly and she had seen Ren sitting in his bed reading a book.

"Doshite? (why)?" reply Ren with a slight glance towards the newly arrived Hinana.

"Are you sick again?"

"No, I'm just going through the examination as usual. Come here." Come here." Ren shifted his sitting position and told Hinana to sit next to him.

"Hinana Chan, if you come here just bring me food" Ren said when he saw the camellias in Hinana's hands.

"Eh, why? Are these flowers not beautiful?"

"I don't like flowers." Ren replied coldly. His eyes glared towards the window.

Hinana, who had noticed Ren, came to the window and opened it.

"Spring is beautiful, isn't it." Hinana said with a deep breath of air. The wind blew his black hair.

"Do you like it very much?" ask Ren and join Hinana.

"I've told you that I love winter."

"Hem I understand. There's something in your hair." Ren looked at the petals of the cherry blossoms that were stuck to Hinana's hair then picked them up.

"Kirei (beautiful)." said Hinana after receiving it. " Ren kun, Arigato."

"Eh Nannotameni? (for what)."

"Cinoo (yesterday)." Hinana hesitated to continue her words, as she had mistaken them. And Hinana should also know that the one who really cares about her is Ren.

"I'm glad to see you're better." Said Ren while sticking his hand on Hinana's forehead. That certainly makes Hinana feel in the fog. Being treated so gently by Ren certainly made Hinana more fond. But Hinana no longer wants to fall into the same hole, especially after her feelings are rejected by Ren.

"Please stop." Hinana immediately brushed off Ren's hand.

"Gomenne."

"Kekkon suru (married)?" ask Hinana who ascertains whether her hearing is wrong or not.

"Gum." Ren replied with a nod. But it seemed like Hinana was reluctant to answer that question. So that a quiet atmosphere approached the two of them.

"Anoo.. I don't think you need to answer that question." Ren began to break the extremely awkward atmosphere of silence.

"What about you?"

"Eh."

"Do you want to get married?" now Hinana who turned to throw a question to Ren.

"No way." Ren replied and paused to answer Hinana's question. "People like me where there might be some who accept. I mean, every married person has a future they want to create. And I'm not." Ren continued his sentence despite hesitating to tell Hinana the situation.

Ren returned to his bed and continued to read his book before Hinana came.

"Hey Hinana's. If there's nothing you want to say anymore, go home. No need to worry about me. I'm used to going to the hospital. Tomorrow I can go back to work." said Ren but did not look at Hinana, he seemed busy reading the book.

Hinana who felt driven away, then looked down and then left Ren's room without saying a word.

"Hinana Chan, don't you want to get married?"

"Hinana Chan, don't you want to get married?"

"Hinana Chan, don't you want to get married?"

The question from Ren seemed to fill Hinana's brain, until she decided to stop the car she was driving.

"Nana Chan, I want to get married."

The memory came back again. When Hinana accidentally saw the hangers on the windshield of her car.

"Yu chan." muttered Hinana along with her flowing tears.

Feeling bad, Hinana stops her car right in front of the nightclub. Just this time he visited the night, there was a boisterous sound of music playing and people who were dancing to the music.

"Anoo give me champagne" Hinana told the barista who was pouring a drink at the customer.

"Of course." replied the barista then poured on the glass and gave it to Hinana.

"Can give it again." Hinana swung an empty glass at the barista. Immediately a barista poured back into Hinana's empty glass. " I can pour it myself, just give me a bottle."

"All right."

Hinana poured her own champagne into a glass and drank it many times. The very pungent aroma of wine made it feel calm. But many times Hinana also mentioned the name Yukiatsu.

"Hey Yu chan, how are you? I heard you're getting married to Nanami, you must have hope to live with her right." said Hinana with a bitter smile and then sipped another glass. Slowly he began to remember his past again, when almost a year he began to forget it.

"Nana Chan, why are you outside." Yukiatsu approached Hinana who was standing in the balcony and put on her coat.

"I'm happy to see the snow falling." Hinana replied and smiled.

"Wakatta, Nana Chan has always loved winter." Yukiatsu returned Hinana's smile then hugged Hinana from behind. "Nana chan."

"Gum."

"Suki desu (i like you)."

" Mo suki desu yo (i like you too)."

"Nana Chan, what makes you like me?" yukiatsu asked then Hinana turned to look at him.

"Yuki (yuki \= snow). I like you and winter."

"Emm I understand now. What if my name isn't Yukiatsu, do you still like me?" Reply to Yukiatsu and put Hinana's hands on her shoulders.

"I will still like you." replied Hinana and looked at her lover's eyes. Then slowly Yukiatsu approached Hinana's lips until finally kissing.

"Yukiatsu hountoni suki desu (I really like you)." murmured Hinana and slowly her tears had wetted her cheeks.
