8 The Forgotten Promise Hanakos POV Part 1 (1/2)

This is a story that happened five years ago. A story that has been long forgotten by Yuuji. However, it is the most precious memory in a certain girl's heart.

**********

It all happened on a rainy day. The sky was dark and the clouds blocked out the light of the sun.

However, that did not stop the cheerful little Hanako from going over to Yuuji's house. They're neighbours after all. However, she wasn't expecting this to happen...

”Hanako... You see, my father got a new job...”

”...”

”and since his workplace is quite far away, he decided that it is best for us to move to Okinawa...”

”...”

”I guess that this is goodbye, Hanako...”

As he started to walk away from me, my body reflexively reacted. The next thing I knew was I was already clutching onto his shirt.

”Don't go...”

I sincerely asked him from the bottom of my heart.

”Please don't leave me...”

I don't want to lose anyone precious to me again. Ever since my mother died, my father started to spend a lot more time at work. I felt really lonely. However, as I still have Yuuji and Mio to accompany me, my loneliness started to fade away. They brought light to my life. I wouldn't know what I would become without them, so...

”Please!!! Don't go!!!”, I started to cry.
