The next morning, the morning sun again greeted Rashvarrina Village and the colors of his life. Today is the most awaited day by all the residents of Rashvarrina Village. It only comes every 2 times a year. But the most important part is the festival held 3 weeks before the arrival of the Rosalina Berry fruit harvest. It is always believed that after the festival is over, the entire Rosalina Berry tree in Rashvarrina Village will grow more fertile and produce more fruit.
All residents are now being preoccupied with preparing for the Cellestina festival tonight. The venue is always held in the same place. The village square hall is close to the hill where the monument statues of King Zallexander Vortexian and his beloved wife are located. They help each other so that the event can be held well.
Meanwhile, Yuna has just finished making Rosalina Berry milk which she will sell on the night of the festival. Her face always looks moist due to the heat and moisture from the cooking process of her milk. However, Yuna seemed to enjoy the process. Yuna is very enthusiastic about this year's Cellestina festival. And very hopeful, he can make a lot of money from the results of selling his Rosalina Berry milk.
Yuna sat down, leaning on her tired back. While wiping his moist forehead. His breath sounds tired. But, Yuna looks very relieved by the results despite having to get tired because it was done overnight and continued in the early hours.
Yuna: "Done too... Just waiting for the milk to cool for 4 hours."
Yuna let out a long sigh over her chair.
Yuna looked out the window. He realized that the day was almost near noon. He also had to bring lunch to his father, Sasouke, Ryuga and Kurosaki. Currently working on the river.
Yuna: "Well, I'll bring you lunch now."
Although he still felt tired, Yuna remained awake and immediately prepared her lunch. Today Yuna carries the original sandwich coupled with fruits such as several red apples in one sizable woven basket. And immediately headed for the usual little shack.
Yuna's steps were a little slow, she knew that her body was still feeling tired. Yuna slept for a few hours. He had to sacrifice his sleep to make Rosalina Berry milk for the night of the festival. Occasionally, Yuna rubbed her eyes to stay awake.
Arriving, Yuna felt relieved to finally be able to rest a little. But, there was no one in the hut. Apparently, they're still in the river.
Yuna: "It seems like I came too soon."
Yuna put down her basket. His face looked dreamy as it felt tired. Slowly the drowsiness began to give him a sense of comfort in both of his eyes.
Yuna: "I feel very sleepy..."
Yuna complained in a limp tone.
The longer, Yuna felt it the more. Coupled with the shady atmosphere in the open hut that makes the sense of comfort that is felt increasingly want to bring Yuna in one sleep.
Yuna's mind started to drift. He could think of nothing but sleep. Yuna also laid her body on the hut with a sideways position.
Yuna: "I'm sleepy... If I fall asleep here, Dad might be anxious... But, I really... Not strong enough to hold it..."
Yuna slowly closed her eyes and started to fall asleep. As if not wanting to think of anything else other than letting his body and mind drift in his sleep realm.
The atmosphere towards noon had completely calmed his tired soul. The wind gently blows. Stroking Yuna's face and hair, like the tender hands of a mother. Makes Yuna more carried away. His sleep is getting deeper. His breath is getting soft. However, something happened to Yuna. Yuna went into the dreamland.
「 In Yuna's Dream 」
Yuna looked at something faintly. Like someone standing up. With a bright light surrounding his body. Yuna tried to block the light with her hand. Yuna doesn't know if she's a man or a woman.
Yuna: "Very dazzling... Who's that?"
The figure seemed to speak to Yuna in a foreign language. His voice is like a man. His voice echoed softly. Makes Yuna's feelings calm. Like hovering. He called Yuna's name.
Yuna: "You called me..? You know me..?"
Mysterious Man's Voice: "Yes... Iknowyou... Knows you... But you won't remember who I am..."
Yuna: "Don't remember you..? Did I ever know you..?"
Mysterious Man's Voice: "The time will come, you will remember who I am..."
Suddenly from behind the figure, it appeared slowly a pair of clean white wings that bent then widened. Not just a pair. But 2 other pairs of wings appeared. It looks so bright and beautiful. Yuna was amazed by such a beautiful sight.
Yuna: "Are you an angel..?"
Mysterious Man's Voice: "I am something beyond light... And something beyond the light of the sun... And one thing that makes me look so valuable... Is what is behind the light itself..."
Suddenly, the light surrounding the figure turned black. Turn everything that was light into darkness. Even the wings of the figure had turned black. Like the wings of a crow.
Yuna surprised. Eyes widened. Suddenly he became frightened and anxious. Because he felt a frightening change from the figure.
From the figure, opened a pair of golden-yellow eyes, with tapered pupils. And let out a light directly to Yuna. Yuna felt stiff. His chest became tight. He can't breathe. Yuna was getting scared. It felt like a very clear death. His body immediately sat down. Can dreams feel so real?
Yuna: "Please, don't kill me..."
Mysterious Man's Voice: "I won't kill you... Because you're something precious when the time comes..."
Say the mysterious figure with a soft yet sharp voice. From his body, came a deep red aura. And make the surface underneath turn into a red sea.
The figure walked closer. His steps made a small wave that grew bigger over the red sea. Yuna couldn't move. His fear grew even stronger when the figure was already before him. The black figure raised Yuna's face. The touch felt so cold that it pierced.
Yuna: "Don't come any closer... I beg..."
Mysterious Black Soul: "You must hear and remember this sentence... Arech'ta illuminuz le ra Quuina tetrionaz Da Infinita... Vestaz nam Drachken..."
Yuna: "What... Which just... You said that..?"
When she heard the sentence in the foreign language, Yuna felt something inside her body. Makes his eyes widen.
Mysterious Black Soul: "Arech'ta illuminuz... Drachken... Ra Quuina's..."
The more Yuna heard that sentence, the more Yuna felt something flowing into her body. Stiffness, tight chest to his fear, all of it disappeared quickly. And replaced by a different sense of comfort.
The Mysterious Black Soul: "Damon vertinam farch... Damon damisha..."
Yuna: "Aur damon damisha..."
Mysterious Black Soul: "Faramorhanh vor shi Vallta.."
Mysterious Black Soul/Yuna: "Rachfir mir Con Fassquiraz..."
It was surprising that Yuna understood such a foreign language and mentioned it together.
Mysterious Black Soul: "It's so good..! You are my precious jewel..."
The figure knelt before Yuna. Stroking Yuna's face with her hands that look stocky, large and have sharp nails that are pointed. Yuna this time did not feel afraid. Yuna even responded to that black hand caress by touching that hand again. Like, missed. Yuna enjoyed the touch while closing her eyes.
Yuna ("I know this touch... And I don't know why... I'm starting to miss the most comfortable touch like this... Cold and strong hands... But calms my whole soul... I can't understand this feeling anymore.").
Mysterious Black Soul: "Don't you miss the feeling you're feeling now? Come to me..."
Yuna did not answer. As both of her eyes opened slowly, Yuna's two eyeballs had turned into a beautiful red color, sparkling like ruby gems with tapered pupils. Looking towards the black figure.
Mysterious Black Soul: "Well, those eyes... Eyes that are always beautiful... That's very pretty..."
Yuna brought herself closer to the black figure. Leaning his body in front of the body of the black figure with a sense of comfort. Put his hands on the chest of the black figure. The black figure returned Yuna's body language by hugging her, caressing Yuna's long hair. Suddenly, the small side of Yuna's hair turned red. Even from that red hair, it looked like an ancient letter. Yuna again enjoyed the touch while closing her eyes.
Mysterious Black Soul: "I know you miss him a lot... Your time will come... My time will come, too..."
The black figure then laid Yuna's body on the red sea. With a slightly tilted position. Yuna's head was sideways. One hand was on the stomach and the other hand was beside Yuna's face. Yuna looked resigned when she was put to bed. The color of the eyes is the same, but it looks empty.
Mysterious Black Soul: "Wait until the time comes... We'll meet again, my precious ruby..."
The figure stroked Yuna's face again, just a single swab. Suddenly, Yuna's hand held that black hand. Then turned his face to the black figure. Yuna's expression became sad. Tears suddenly came out of his left eye. Like not wanting to lose that black figure.
Mysterious Black Soul: "Don't cry... You'll know when we'll meet again..."
Slowly, Yuna's body was about to sink, entering into that red sea.
Mysterious Black Soul: "Sleep, my precious ruby... When you wake up, you will be able to develop your beautiful wings again... Stand back between the light and the turning point... And tell all the living creatures who you really are..."
Yuna is drowning. His hand slowly released the black hand. On one of his last fingers. Yet Yuna seemed to still want to hold it. His hands were still floating in the air. Until finally, Yuna's entire body entered into the red sea. Getting down. Getting deeper. Yuna could still see the black figure above its rippling surface. But it disappeared instantly.
Yuna felt an incredible calm. His entire body floated amidst the depths of the red ocean.
Yuna ("Is this a real ocean..? I can still breathe in it... It's very convenient..")
Yuna was still looking at the sea level above her which was already getting further and further away. Everything is red. Feels silent.
Yuna ("That figure... I feel like I've met him... Who her? I miss him more and more... It's quaint... Too many questions... Why..? I don't think I want to go anywhere other than here..").
Yuna closed her eyes. Holding chest. Suddenly, something appeared from behind his back. Something black. Which is getting longer. Out to a few pairs.
Yuna ("I feel like I'd like to turn the clock faster..").
Yuna opened her eyes spontaneously. The color of the eyeball is still the same. However, Yuna's voice sounded different. It doesn't sound like Yuna.
Yuna's Strange Voice: "For me to take back mine..!"
His voice sounded soft but cruel. Her face was smiling sweetly. Was that really the voice that came from Yuna?
The black aura that combined with the red began to spread. And began to envelop Yuna's body. Almost covered it all. Slowly Yuna closed her eyes.
Yuna's Strange Voice: "Good sleep... The light is out there... We'll definitely meet again..."
Finally, the black-red combination aura covered Yuna's entire body without any gaps.
「 Back To Reality - In Yuna's Bedroom 」
Slowly Yuna started to wake up. His view feels blurry. He heard a voice that always called his name. Sounds anxious. It was Sasouke's voice. The one who tried to wake Yuna up, held her face.
Sasouke: "Yuna? Yuna! You hear me? You're already starting to wake up. Yuna, you can hear my voice, right?"
Yuna turned her eyes to Sasouke. Everything seems clearer. He could see Sasouke's face trying to smile but was filled with anxiety.
Yuna: "Sasouke..?"
Sasouke: "Finally, you woke up too... Thank goodness..."
Sasouke immediately hugged Yuna who was still lying down. Yuna looked confused. He realized that he was in his own room. How could? Did Sasouke take her?
Sasouke: "I'm really worried... I could feel... Will lose you..."
Sasouke. His voice sounds sad. His embrace is getting tighter.
Yuna: "What happened..?"
Suddenly, someone opened the door. And that was Ryuga along with 2 other people. Ryoko and Kurosaki. The three of them felt very relieved when they saw Yuna's condition. Ryuga and Kurosaki were approaching. Yuna looked increasingly confused and clueless.
Ryuga: "Well, thank you God-Goddess. Thank goodness you're back... We're so worried about you..."
Reveal Ryuga with an anxious expression.
Kurosaki: "I thought something bad would happen to you. Aarghs! My negative thoughts."
Reveal Kurosaki while holding his head.
Ryoko: "All right, you three. Please make room for Yuna. Let me check on him."
Ryoko comes between them. Then, they immediately walked away from Yuna's bed. Yuna woke up, sitting on her bed. He still looks confused.
Yuna: "Why are you all here? What's going on?"
Then, Akimiya came after finding out about her daughter's news. His face looked very worried. And hugged his daughter.
Akimiya: "Thank God, you're fine... I was afraid if anything happened to you..."
Akimiya said in a voice full of sadness and anxiety. While stroking Yuna's head gently.
Jonah: "Yes, father... I'm sorry..."
Although Yuna looked confused, but when she saw her father's anxious expression, Yuna began to regret it.
After Yuna regained consciousness, Ryoko brought sweet ginger boiled water with honey that Ryoko had made. Yuna immediately drank it slowly after the potion was warm. In that room, now only Yuna and Ryoko are left. Hatsu Haru, her beloved cat, falls asleep on Yuna's bed.
Ryoko: "How are you feeling now?"
Yuna: "I feel better now. Thank you." Thank you."
Yuna gives the cup to Ryoko. Ryoko keeps it on the drawer table next to Yuna's bed. Then, Ryoko performs the basic examination procedure on Yuna.
Ryoko is one of his childhood friends as well, such as Sasouke, Ryuga, Kurosaki and Takako. Ryoko works as a doctor's assistant at a Rashvarrina Village clinic. It is the only health clinic in the village. But thanks to their services, the residents of Rashvarrina Village were greatly helped.
Ryoko: "Now, allow me to check on you for a moment."
Ryoko starts working on it from examining Yuna's eyes with a special flashlight. Move it to the left and to the right slowly.
Ryoko: "It looks like your pupils are responding to light normally."
Ryoko continues by checking Yuna's pulse from her hand. Ryoko senses it and tries to read it. Then, touch Yuna's forehead.
Ryoko: "Your tone is also normal. Your temperature is normal too. Your face is not pale either. You look well. Mercifully. Nothing seems serious."
Ryoko said with relief.
Yuna: "I don't feel sick. Anyway, what happened to me? Why did you, Ryuga and Kurosaki get here?"
Said Yuna who looked still confused. Ryoko is just as confused. Quietly, Ryoko explained.
Ryoko: "You really don't remember anything?"
Yuna shook her head slowly innocently.
Yuna: "I just remember, I was asleep in a tree hut. That's it."
Ryoko: "Yes, you are asleep. But you're very hard to wake up. And your entire body temperature has dropped dramatically. It feels so cold. Sasouke came straight to see me for help."
Yuna: "I can't be woken up?"
Yuna surprised. He felt disbelief.
Ryoko: "That's right. Sasouke told me."
Yuna: "Sasouke?"
Ryoko: "Yes, right. Sasouka was the one who first found you asleep in a tree hut, after his work was done from the river. He's trying to wake you up, because Akimiya's uncle and the others are coming. But, you're being hard to wake up. In fact, even after the others came, you were still hard to wake up. Your body temperature is cold. I thought at first, you had a hypothermia attack or something. But you also seem to be going through a very deep phase of sleep. Maybe that's why you're hard to wake up. So, we're taking you back to your house. And pray that nothing happens."
Yuna: "I'm sorry... Until it makes you all anxious..."
Yuna was down, her face looked regretful. Ryoko holds Yuna's hand attentively. While offering a smile.
Ryoko : "It's over. Its alright. It's not your fault. Everyone's worried about you, because we all love you so much, Yuna."
Yuna's face lifted. And still seem to regret it. Sadness is also reflected.
Yuna: "Thank you, Ryoko. I'm really sorry..."
Ryoko: "Already, don't think about it anymore."
Ryoko stands up for a moment and approaches the table in Yuna's room. He took out a tray containing a plate of soft milk bread and another plate containing pieces of red apples. Then, put it on the bed.
Ryoko: "Better now, try to eat. You haven't had lunch, have you?"
Yuna: "All right. Thanks..."
His feelings began to improve slightly, although there was still a sense of regret in his heart. Yuna started to take the milk bun without hesitation. Then cut off a little bit of it. And tried to give it to Hatsu Haru who was asleep next to him.
Yuna: "Hatsu Haru, do you want this bread? Take it."
Hatsu Haru awakens, but the cat ignores the piece of bread. He licked Yuna's hand, rubbed her head as well and went back to sleep. Yuna was surprised by the behavior of her beloved cat who actually also liked milk bread.
Yuna: "You don't want to? Wh why? Don't you like this milk bun too, do you?"
Ryoko: "Looks like your cat thinks of you too. He wants you to eat all this milk bread. So that you recover. Not only us, your cat also seems to feel anxious because it loves you so much."
Yuna: "You too, Hatsu Haru. I'm sorry, yeah..."
Yuna stroked Hatsu Haru's head gently, making Hatsu Haru sound purring.
Yuna: "All right. I will eat it, so that no one will worry about me anymore.."
Slowly, Yuna ate the milk bread. Slowly but quickly chew it. Apparently, Yuna was hungry.
Ryoko: "Slowly, Yuna. You can choke later."
Ryoko said with attention. While rubbing Yuna's shoulders gently.
Yuna: "Sorry..."
Yuna said with her mouth full. He covered his mouth with his five fingers.
Ryoko offers him water. Yuna swallowed the rest of the bread in her mouth quickly. And take the water and immediately drink it slowly until it runs out. Passing through his throat with the cold sensation of the water. Yuna felt better. Ryoko was astonished. Then smile.
Ryoko: "It looks like you've looked better."
Ryoko takes the empty glass from Yuna's hand.
Yuna: "I'm sorry..."
Said Yuna who noticed it and was embarrassed. Then, clean his mouth with his finger. Then, Ryoko offers Yuna a plate with a cut of red apples.
Ryoko: "You want to eat the fruit too?"
Yuna: "Yes, sure."
Yuna directly stabbed one piece of her apple with a fork and directly put it in her mouth. He could taste the sweet, juicy and slightly sour taste of the apple's flesh. Yuna felt refreshed. Finally, the plate was empty. Ryoko was also relieved. He was able to judge that Yuna had recovered and was healthy.
Ryoko: "You look hungry, Yuna. Shall I get you some more?"
Ryoko offers it to Yuna again. But Yuna replied to him by shaking her head with a surprised and embarrassed face.
Ryoko: "Alright, I get it."
Ryoko takes care of the empty dishes and puts them back on the table.
Ryoko: "By the way, are you going to the Cellestina festival this year? I hear you're going to sell Rosalina Berry milk."
Yuna: "That's right."
Ryoko then sits on a chair in Yuna's room. Next to Yuna's bed.
Ryoko: "And you made it so much. It seems, you're exhausted, Yuna. Your sleep time is reduced in order to make Rosalina Berry milk in large quantities. You're even awake until after midnight. Sleep a little, and when dawn is not yet visible, you resume your work. So I'm guessing, that's what's causing you to go through a very deep phase of sleep. Because you're sleep deprived."
Yuna: "You're right. How did you know?"
Yuna was surprised, until she lowered her face.
Ryoko: "Your father."
Yuna: "My father?"
Ryoko: "Ah, sorry. I don't mean to blame you anymore. Really."
Ryoko said with a smile.
Ryoko: "Now, try to take your rest until nightfall."
Yuna: "But, I have to prepare the Rosalina Berry milk now..."
Reply Yuna with an anxious tone. But Ryoko replied to him again with a smile.
Ryoko: "Don't worry about that. That part's work is now being done by the men."
Yuna: "You mean, Sasouke and the others? My dad?" too?"
Yuna grew anxious when she suddenly talked about her father.
Ryoko: "I have to say it's true. At first, we also did not agree if until Akimiya's uncle helped. But apparently, your father insisted on helping you anyway. What can I do? It seems he loves you very much."
Yuna: "I'm sorry..."
Yuna fell down again. And back to apologizing. He felt that he had troubled many people.
Ryoko : "Good. Never mind. You've apologized too much. I sound like a bad woman."
Ryoko said with a face of her fragrant smile, trying to comfort Yuna, while holding her hand. Yuna was impressed.
Ryoko smiled with all her heart.
Ryoko: "Now, I'll let you rest. Your cat will be happy to take care of you here. If you need anything, just call. Don't be shy."
Yuna: "Thank you, Ryoko."
Ryoko stood up and left Yuna in her room. The door closed slowly.
For a moment, Yuna thought about what happened to her today. He saw his own palm. His face was still full of question marks. All the mixed feelings in his chest. Confused and anxious. The perfect combination to make Yuna confused. Deadline without the expected answer.
Yuna: "Actually, what happened to me..."
Yuna's Voice: "I can feel a little bit about the dream experience I just had that day... But what I don't understand is why I don't remember it at all? I felt like my new dream was something important... Butwhat? Would I still consider it an empty dream?"
Yuna felt no memory of the mysterious dream she had just experienced.
「 In The Yuna's House Kitchen 」
Meanwhile, it was getting late afternoon. Eventually, the men completed their task. Ryuga looks exhausted. Until he had to lean his back, until his head was pulled back.
Ryuga: "It's so tired..."
Ryuga.
Kurosaki: "I'm not. I feel so fresh."
Said Kurosaki with his spirit face.
Ryuga: "How not? You drink more of her Rosalina Berry milk than you would pour it into a glass bottle. You've finished 4 bottles, Kai!"
Ryuga raised his head and muttered annoyedly at Kurosaki.
Kurosaki: "I became addicted to Yuna's milk. I never knew that the combination of Rosalina Berry milk and fruit would be this delicious. I want one more."
Kurosaki took another bottle. And drink it without hesitation. Ryuga was immediately annoyed at Kurosaki.
Ryuga: "Yes! Don't drink anymore. You spent 5 bottles! Milk is for sale! If you want it again, you better buy it!"
Kurosaki just finished it. His face looked very happy afterwards. And turned irritated while muttering also to Ryuga, with one eyebrow raised.
Kurosaki : "Yes, yes..! I-i understand. Take it easy, I will pay 2 times! You're happy'kan?"
Nicky: "Humph! Just keep your promise straight to Yuna..! Hope you don't have a stomachache!"
Ryuga muttered back while turning his face away from being annoyed.
Meanwhile, Sasouke had just finished the last part of cleaning up the remaining milk spilled in the bottle until it came back clean.
Sasouke: "Hey, stop the two of you. Just like a child. You should be ashamed, fighting at Uncle Akimiya's house!"
Sasouke complained, leaning back and crossing his hands. His face also looked equally upset. Ryuga and Kurosaki both flinched and felt sorry.
Ryuga: "Sorry, Sasouke..."
Kurosaki: "Ma-I'm sorry, too..."
Sasouke let out a long sigh, while combing his hair with his finger, trying to calm himself down.
Sashauke: "Haaah... Never mind, forget that one. Most importantly, we've completed Yuna's task in time."
Ryuga : "Aaaahh... Also true. I understood why Yuna was so exhausted. It feels this heavy. But we do it better because it is done together. I can't imagine how tired Yuna would be if she did it alone..."
Reveal Ryuga with an anxious expression.
Kurosaki: "But, if he does everything himself, Yuna could fall ill from exhaustion. I can feel guilty if that happens."
Due to Kurosaki's words, Sasouke and Ryuga both pondered over it. Sasouke remembered again on that day. As he also saw Yuna who was about to fall down while working in the field that afternoon. And re-imagine, when taking that glass bottle order. In his mind he was always haunted by the question, what would happen if Sasouke was not there to help him.
Sasouke: "Therefore, if we can still help him, we must give him our strength. Especially since we are men who are used to working harder than women. As we should, we should also help our lady friend who is in need. Because the limits of male and female strength are different. One can never do one hard job alone. At least, we can't leave him alone."
It was obvious Sasouke was thinking about Yuna.
At that time, Sasouke recalled a moment in his past. As Yuna is beset with deep sadness after her mother dies. Seeing the first time Yuna was very sad, making little Sasouke moved to remove the sadness and change the loneliness experienced by Yuna with the presence of Sasouke and others in Yuna's life. By offering Yuna a hand of happiness. Sasouke never forgot him.
Ryoko: "All of us, Sasouke. You remember like we promised you back then, don't you? We'll always help her."
Said Ryoko who was suddenly present between the talks. The three of them simultaneously turned their eyes on Ryoko.
Ryoko walked up to the table and sat down.
Ryoko: "We all know what Yuna has been through. At that time, the situation was so difficult for him. But in the end, we can all change Yuna's grief from then on. Yep. The more we grow up, the more work we have to do. We may not be as we used to be. Free and play to the fullest. Now, we have each other's busyness. But even though we are both adults, the work of helping must be done with all our abilities. Plus, now we have our own advantages. In this way, we can still help Yuna with the advantages that we master. Don't you agree?"
Hearing Ryoko's meaningful expression made the three smile together.
Ryuga: "Ah, right too. I agree."
Kurosaki: "You're right."
Ryoko: "Therefore, we must also be able to work together to make the most beautiful Cellestina festival night for Yuna."
Ryuga: "Then, we just prepare the best stand to sell this Rosalina Berry milk. Kai, let's do it!"
Kurosaki: "Good idea! Let's do!"
Ryuga and Kurosaki looked very excited and left immediately.
Shinjuku : "Hehe... They are both very compact. And, Sasouke?"
Sasouke: "Hmm?"
Ryoko: "Will you look at the situation now?"
Sasouke: "I? Is it okay?"
Ryoko: "You'll find out later. Go."
Persuade Ryoko with a smile. It was as if he also knew how Sasouke felt about Yuna. Sasouke soon moved on.
Arriving at the door of his room, Sasouke knocked on the door several times.
Yuna: "Who?"
Sasouke: "It's me. Sasoukes. Can I come in?"
Jonah : "Ngh... I'm not sure."
Sasouke: "What's up, Yuna? Are you feeling sick again?"
Sasouke began to worry.
Jonah : "Ngh... Nope. I'm it's okay. It's just, I'm so fucked up here."
Sasouke: "You're talking? Yuna, let me help you if you really need it. So, let me in, okay?"
Yuna: "Ngh, be good... Just go in."
After obtaining his permission, Sasouke entered. He could feel anxious. But after seeing the actual condition, Sasouke became confused with the condition of Yuna's room that was messy and filled with white goose feathers everywhere. Even Yuna's hair looked messy and filled with fur.
Sasouke saw Yuna's beloved cat playing with the fur scattered, chasing, rolling and catching the fine feathers. Make the other feathers fly. Looks very adorable. Apparently, all the goose feathers came from the pillow.
Even part of Hatsu Haru's body is also filled with fine feathers attached.
Sasouke: "What is..?"
Yuna simply gave an answer with an embarrassed smile.
Yuna: "Do you see? Everything's fucked up."
Sasouke smiled with relief. He approached Yuna. And sit next to him.
Yuna replied with a shy smile. Sasouke sighed calmly, then smiled.
Sasouke: "I don't know what happened. But this is really fucked up. Even your hair."
Yuna: "That's why, I'm not sure if you're getting into my messed-up room like this."
Sasouke: "Let me guess. This is all your cat?"
Yuna: "Ehehe, you're right."
Yuna replied with a shy smile. Sasouke sighed calmly, then smiled.
Sasouke: "In that case, I will help clean your hair first. The festival night will soon begin. Turn around."
Persuade Sasouke with a gentle tone. Turning Yuna's shoulders so that Yuna turned her back to Sasouke.
One by one, Sasouke took the goose feathers that stuck to his long hair and collected them. Yuna started to feel awkward due to Sasouke's gentle demeanor.
Sasouke: "If it hurts, tell me. Don't hold it."
Yuna: "Good..."
Reply Yuna with a embarrassed face.
Nicky: "Sasouke... Thanks..."
Sasouke: "For what?"
Yuna: "I heard from Ryoko, you were the first to find me asleep until it was hard to wake up. And you brought me to my room too. Sorry to bother you and make you anxious..."
Yuna said regretfully.
Sasouke: "Ah, that one is yes. No, don't think about it. Like I always say, I'm happy to help you with anything."
Reply Sasouke with a soft tone of voice. Yuna became speechless and it was fortunate that the embarrassed face was not seen by Sasouke.
Sasouke: "It feels like De Ja Vu. Do you remember?"
Yuna: "De Ja Vu?"
Sasouke: "When we were kids. At that time, we were all playing kites on the hill. That day, the weather was quite windy. And suddenly a great wind came. Until they fly the fallen leaves. We all get surprised. And to his surprise, your hair was filled with leaves carried by the great wind. Hehe... And make your hair fall apart too. Then, I helped you clean your long hair. It's really the same, as I do now."
Sasouke clearly with nostalgia. He really remembered the incident.
Yuna: "That's true too. I just remembered. The wind was big then, right? Really funny memories. Hehe, it seems like all those leaves are just stuck in my hair huh?"
Sasouke : "Hehe... Yeah, of course you are. Among the female friends, only you have the longest hair. Thank goodness your hair is back to how it was. That's magic."
Yuna: "Magic?"
Sasouke: "Because it looks like, your hair is very soft. And from a long time ago, I admired your long hair. Till now. I've always loved your long hair."
Hearing Sasouke's expression with his gentle tone, made Yuna's heart start pounding. His face began to blush.
Yuna: "What... Still not done, Sasouke?"
Asked the embarrassed Yuna.
Sasouke: "Because it's goose feathers, it's harder than I thought. Just be patient a little more."
Yuna: "L-Yes..."
Sasouke continued to do so. Carefully and slowly although it should take a lot of time. And finally, Sasouke managed to take all the goose feathers.
Sasouke: "Now, wait a minute."
Yuna: "What are you going to do again?"
Sasouke took a moment. Walk towards Yuna's dressing table and pick up the brush that Sasouke had observed since. Yuna watched. Sasouke sat behind Yuna.
Yuna: "Why did you bring my brush?"
Sasouke: "Of course to tidy up your hair. Now, don't move ya."
Sasouke turned Yuna's head and turned back to Sasouke.
Sasouke: "And don't talk too much either."
Said Sasouke in his soft voice while whispering it right beside Yuna's ear. As if, Sasouke had already read his mind. Being able to make Yuna surprised and instantly speechless.
Sasouke began to tidy up Yuna's tangled hair. Slowly and carefully. Yuna could only be silent. With what Sasouke did to his hair.
From the hands of a hardworking man, it can provide softness to long hair Yuna who is brownish.
The moment was just a moment of silence. Sasouke was busy tidying up. Seemed to be enjoying his job. As for Yuna, she was only speechless yet she still felt awkward.
When Sasouke saw the long hair, he remembered something beautiful in his past. Which made his heart beat erratically for the first time.
She recalled, sometimes Yuna likes to pigtail or stretch her hair when she was a child. But for Sasouke, he preferred Yuna's hair to be loose. Especially when the wind carries her long hair. For Sasouke it was the most beautiful sight he had ever seen. From then on, Sasouke saw Yuna's radiated beauty with long, unraveling hair. And realize about the feelings that began to grow when he was 8 years old. So, it was always in his mind that he wanted to touch the long brownish hair that sparkled and beautiful. For that reason, Sasouke is currently enjoying the moment to be able to touch Yuna's hair that he admires.
Sasouke's Voice: "I never once forgot my first memory, how I first fell in love just by looking at this long hair... I always wanted to be able to touch that hair... Which looks soft... And once I can touch it for the first time... I want to touch her again and again..."
Sasouke took one hand of Yuna's hair, and kissed her. He inhaled it slowly. Sasouke can smell very fragrant, sweet and soothing. Like the fragrance of Gardenia flowers. Increasingly evoked feelings that he had always kept for a long time. The fragrance that Sasouke always misses.
Yuna: "Sorry, Sasouke... Is it done? We need to get to the festival. Because I have to sell Rosalina Berry milk."
Asked the embarrassed Yuna. But managed to wake Sasouke who dissolved in reverie the most beautiful memories of his past.
Gagging : "Ah! Yeah, I'm done. Your hair is magical. It's been neatly returned quickly. You must have taken very good care of your hair."
Sasouke praised, then gave the comb brush to Yuna.
Sasouke: "Don't worry about that. Looks like the others are trying to sell your Rosalina Berry milk. They've been there first. You better get ready."
Yuna: "Ryuga and the others helped sell it?"
Yuna said in surprise. Sasouke stood up and looked towards Yuna while offering her a gentle smile.
Sasouke: "Don't worry. Everything's gonna be fine. And they all would be happy to help you. Get prepared. I'll come back to pick you up. We'll go to the festival together. See you later."
Yuna: "But-"
Sasouke had already left Yuna alone again even before Yuna finished conveying something.
Yuna: "Ah, it's gone. How else would you like?"
Grieved Yuna. But inevitably, Yuna must accept the fact, that now all her friends come to help even to help sell her Rosalina Berry milk.
Yuna got out of her bed. And prepare yourself immediately. Tonight, Yuna decides to wear a legacy dress and her late mother. Which was purposely made specifically for Yuna. Soft Lilac purple dress, with a simple design. With an open top to half the shoulders. Decorated brothel with beautiful floral designs on his chest.
The dress has up to half an arm. Then the quarters form an A-line decorated with matching ribbons at the top of its elbows.
The skirt section has its own privileges. Gorgeous brothel that forms like a flower. So this simple dress, although not decorated with any gemstones, still looks very beautiful. Yuna looks more beautiful.
In her hair, Yuna styled it in a half-updo style and pinned it with hairpin decorated with flowers from glass crystals that are also purple. Looks harmonious.
Yuna was also a little dressed up. That way, the appearance looks more beautiful. Looks perfect. Then, Yuna looked at herself in a tall mirror. While wiping the cloth from the dress. Face smiles.
Yuna: "Mom... Come on, go to this year's Cellestina festival?"
Yuna could feel the presence of her mother through the dress she was wearing. Her expression turned into a sweet smile. Yuna then sighed while holding her chest.
Yuna: "I go first... Mommy."
Once again, Yuna looked at herself in the mirror. Then get out of the room.
Arriving in the living room, Yuna saw Akimiya who was asleep on a wooden chair close to the fireplace burning with moderate fire. Thinking about it for a moment, Yuna wanted to tell her father. But after seeing her father who had fallen asleep, Yuna decided to let him. Yuna smiled haru. He knew how much his father had helped him today.
Not long after, someone knocked on the door.
Yuna: "Who?"
??? : "It's me. Sasoukes. Are you ready to go to the festival?"
Yuna: "Good. I'm out soon."
Yuna opened the door. Sasouke was already standing in front of him. Who is tidying up the buttons of his arm clothes. Sasouke looks good. With one simple suit. Sasouke looks handsome and handsome.
After the door opened, Sasouke turned his eyes. With a smile that was ready to welcome Yuna. Yet...
Sasouke: "So, you've been-"
Sasouke was shocked when he saw Yuna's appearance that night in a Lilac-colored dress. Until not a single word comes out again. Sasouke was fascinated with Yuna's different beauty.
Sasouke ("Beautiful..").
Sasouke continued to look at Yuna. From top to bottom. Yuna herself was confused by Sasouke who kept quiet.
Yuna: "Are you okay? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Sasouke. Trying to get back to his senses.
Gagging : "Ah! Th-yes! Sure do. I'm doing fine. You're ready apparently. I can see it. That's good."
Sasouke was seen starting to misbehave until he turned his face while scratching the back of his head. Though it doesn't feel itchy in the least. His face also looked faintly red. Makes Yuna even more confused.
Sasouke was aware of his misguided attitude. Then take his eyes off again.
Sasouke ("Today Yuna looks so beautiful... But why do I feel so wrong like this? What's wrong with me..? I'm like I just lost half my mind..")
Sasouke had indeed from the beginning realized his feelings for Yuna. But by looking at Yuna's beauty tonight, that feeling was like it was constantly churning inside her chest. Something that drives that feeling of wanting to be together. Sasouke knew what it was.
Sasouke: "Ah, what am I thinking this."
Sasouke smiled to himself. Then walked over to Yuna who had been confused by Sasouke's attitude. And his eyes never let go. Even when he was in front of him, Sasouke's eyes did not detach for a second. Then, Sasouke offered Yuna his arm. A sign of a gentlemen if you want to take the path of a woman with ethics.
Sasouke: "Are you ready, Miss Sakurana?"
Yuna surprised. But he understood Sasouke's intentions. Yuna replied to him with her sweet little laugh. Then slightly lowered her body for a while while lifting both sides of her dress skirt, as noble women in general do.
Yuna: "Sure, Mr. Sakagimaru."
Yuna welcomed Sasouke's arm. Then walk together to the place where the Cellestina festival is held.
I don't know what happened to Sasouke, occasionally trying to steal a glance to be able to see the extraordinary beauty of Yuna. Her first love girl.
Sasouke felt an incredible feeling that night. A more beautiful beauty than the night of the Cellestina festival. And Sasouke enjoyed it throughout that time together. His love is growing stronger. Encouraging him to be able to realize his old feelings.
Sasouke: "Yuna, do you remember what I said yesterday?"
Yuna: "Isn't it about wanting to show you something?"
Sasouke: "That's true. You're coming with me, right?"
Persuade Sasouke with a gentle gaze and an equally gentle smile.
Sasouke: "But I want to warn you something."
Sasouke muttered.
Yuna: "Warn me something? What'sthat?"
Yuna was a little surprised, as if the remark meant serious. It made Yuna feel curious.
Sasouke: "Are you sure you want to hear it?"
Sasouke smiled. Yuna felt something strange. Because Sasouke's expression was anxious before, but now he was smiling. What is Sasouke's real plan?
