LOVE CAFE

Love Cafe: Where Love Blooms

In this legend, she who didn't believe in love tries to break it. Or will she be able to fall in love?

POV - TRINITY DRAWIN

______________________

I don't believe this bullshit... Are you kidding me?  I don't believe in love, so leave me alone!

I shouted at them furiously...

Wait... I know you must be confused here. Let me explain everything going on. My name is Trinity drawin,I come from a middle-class family and I'm an office worker, 21 years old. Now, my parents and friends insist that I find a partner. Of course, they refer to it as a better half, husband, honey, boyfriend, etc. As much as I followed their stupid recommendations for blind dates, none of them were able to win my heart, and I ended up breaking their hearts as well. Then, all of my family and friends told me that the problem is with me!

Yes, the thing is, I don't believe in love. For me, it's a stupid emotion. And I also won't believe in love after marriage, college love, childhood love, love after death, etc. So, I argued with them and shut myself off from everyone.

However, one day, my grandma visited my house and had a long talk with me. For me, grandma is like my friend. I share all my burdens with her when my parents are busy with their work. Grandma is the one who raised me. After sharing my troubles with her, she gave me a mischievous smile. Then, I felt something hidden behind her smile. She gave me a necklace.

It had a strange symbol, but it was special. She told me it was gifted by her special friend. When she was in deep trouble, her mind would calm down when she held this necklace. I took a peek at the necklace. It had a simple triangle, and in the center, I could see a cupid as well. "Wow," I exclaimed with amusement. The necklace was very pretty.

However, at that time, I didn't know it was meant to be something in my life.

That day has come to an end...

But something happened to me...

I had a strange dream.

In this dream, I saw a handsome man holding my hand. He was literally kissing my fingers.

I could feel the warmth of his kiss.

He was calling out my name.

All I could see was his face; he had a mole on the left side of his lip.

I can say he was a sexy guy...

Suddenly, he called me by my nickname, Tria.

When I tried to look at his face, I opened my eyes...

Damnit...

I told myself.

What was that anyway?

I had never felt something like this in my life.

Then the next morning, I was about to talk to my grandmother, but surprisingly she had left so early.

Then I went to work. My life was too troublesome after having that dream. Still, Grandma's necklace is safe with me.

From that day onwards, he has been appearing in my dreams. People find me spacing out.

Yes, I can't focus on my things. Even my boss advised me to take a break.

Still, my family insists that I get married.

In the end, I shouted at them. That was the situation. Then I decided to move out from my family for a while. Then I got a letter from my grandma. It was like this:

Dear Tria,

Grandma isn't feeling well, so can you just come over here? Maybe you will find the answer you were looking for.

Lots of love,

Granny.

I read the letter and came to a resolution.

After a day of travel, I reached Moon Island. That's where my grandmother's house is located.

Moon Island is a famous tourist center. It's too crowded. I waited for my butler to pick me up, but he didn't show up. He was supposed to be here at the airport. Then he messaged me that he was trapped in a traffic jam. Damn, I can't blame him either. It's true, the traffic here is pretty high.

"What the hell," I cursed.

I decided to explore, so I grabbed my bag and walked towards the street near the airport.

I felt so thirsty, so I looked for something to drink. Then suddenly, something caught my eye. I was too shocked to see that.

LOVE CAFE: Where Love Blooms

Then I saw a label that looked exactly like my necklace locket.

"What is this?" I wondered, filled with curiosity.

I gently opened the doors of the cafe and was amazed by what I saw.

Wow, what a place it is...

It's neat and clean, sparkling everywhere.

Then a beautiful waitress welcomed me.

She guided me to my table and I sat down.

It felt like I was near the beachside, with the chilly wind passing by. I felt so good.

The cafe was very neat, and the atmosphere here was quite refreshing.

I felt like I had entered some kind of magical place.

When I entered the main hall of the cafe, I was amazed.

In the center of the hall, there was a huge cherry blossom tree.

And I saw a lot of people praying there. Is this a shrine?

I couldn't believe it, but at the same time, I read the inscription near the huge tree.

It was written like this:

"OH, TREE OF GREAT LOVE, WHERE THE RED STRINGS OF FATE MATCHMAKING YOU IN THE HEAVEN, ONCE YOU FIND EACH OTHER YOU ARE BOUND TOGETHER FOREVER"

So there was a legend going on here. There was a lone samurai who lived, tired of war and conflicts. He wished to live peacefully. Then one day, he met a beauty and everything changed. Unfortunately, she was the daughter of his enemy clan. But he didn't give up; he pursued her and they fell in love together. They both ran away from their homeland and lived happily. However, those happiness wouldn't last. Just as they were about to marry, he was summoned by his lord. The beauty and the samurai both felt sad.

.They don't want to be separated. Then the samurai promised her that he would come alive and marry her. Then he was gone. But sadly, he died. But Beauty didn't know that. She waited... waited... Then one day, people on the Moon Island found her dead. They buried her under this tree. After that, people who have love troubles will come here and pray. They believe that the soul of Beauty will help them find love. This legend is known as the Miyuki Legend of the Great Love Tree.

Very well, I don't like these legends or myths. I won't give a damn about it all.

People are praying and bowing to that tree.

Mostly couples and old people are there.

I try to find a quiet place to sit down.

Geez, why is this so difficult? It's too crowded. However, I have to wait for my butler to pick me up. I share my location with him on WhatsApp, then order a peach juice.

Love tree, huh? These are total bullshit.

I won't believe it at all while I am busy with my thoughts.

Are you worried about anything, lady?

Huh? I looked at that person.

A beautiful lady who wears a pink kimono appeared in front of me. I was dazed by her beauty. She was older than me, but her beauty is breathtaking.

Wow!! I exclaimed.

I don't know what to say. I was dazed.

She sat down beside me.

At the same time juice I ordered arrived.i stare at her  blankly

Then we had a conversation like this,

"You are worried about something, right?"

"How... how did you know that?"

"I am good at reading the minds of people."

"Seriously?"

"Yes."

"I won't believe you."

"Let's see, you won't believe in love relationships, right?"

"What???? How?"

"See, I am right? Now you believe me?"

"Kind of, I am trying."

"So, young one, is it okay for you to blame something you haven't experienced?"

"I... I don't believe in love. No matter how I try to find a pure one, it can't be true. Everyone in this world is selfish. That's the reason I won't believe in such things like this."

"Well, you don't believe in your parents and people who love you?"

"Ummm, I..."

"Are they selfish too?"

"I..."

"Tell me, young lady, aren't you the one being too rigid?"

I was astonished by her questions. Yes, it makes sense. I am the one who is being so rigid. It feels like I shut my doors for everyone. I was blinded enough. I was speechless in front of her. But she gave me a beautiful smile. Then she told me,

"One day you will meet your soulmate and experience the things you neglect. Then come and find me, I will be here for you."

She patted my head and disappeared into the crowd.

I felt so comfortable after talking to her. It's like she helped me to see both sides. Then I forgot to ask her name. Damn.

I can't find her as well.

While I was paying cash at the counter, someone came near to me.

"Are you Trinity?"

"Yes," I turned around and looked at that person. My eyes widened, I even forgot to take a breath for a moment. My eyes filled with that person. It was none other than the guy in my dream. Those black moles on the left side of his lips. I would recognize them anywhere, it's a shocking thing to me. I feel blood rushing to my cheeks.

"Are you Trinity?" he repeated again.

"Yes, and you?"

"Oh, I am Dante Blake, the son of your butler. I came here to pick you up."

I was still in a daze, however, I maintained my calm and followed him. Soon, we reached Granny's house. She and her butler, Uncle Blake, were waiting for me.

"Granny..." I ran towards her like a kid.

"Trinity..." she hugged me tightly.

While we had our moment, Uncle Blake and Dante took care of my luggage.

That day, I spent time with my granny, talking to her wildly as well. Still in my mind, it was Dante, the guy in my dreams.

In the upcoming days, I spent a lot of time taking care of granny. This time, Uncle Blake is also with me. Fishing on the island is the best thing. Uncle Blake taught me how to fish. There was a river flowing behind my backyard, so I went there for fishing. While fishing, I remembered my childhood here. I played a lot here, and my cousins and I spent our vacations here all the time. But surprisingly, I didn't see Dante here. I feel relaxed here as well. Like my city life, island life is the best. All the time, I was busy with work pressure. After being employed, I rarely went out, and visiting granny was also rare. Now I am here, and while fishing, I saw movement in my fishing net. I tried to pull it up, but unfortunately, I got tipped into the water. Damn, I got soaked all over.

Pffftttttttt... I heard someone giggling at me. I turned around and looked at that person. Surprisingly, it was Dante. I looked at the mole beside his lips and unconsciously swallowed. Damn, why is he so hot? I stared at him blankly. Then we had a conversation like this,

"Are you done with your laughing?"

"Oh...sorry, I didn't mean to. Are you okay?"

"You think I am okay? I can't get up properly, yarr," I told him miserably. It is true that my legs were hurting for no reason. Under the river, it's rocks. I think my legs hit there. He came near to me and tried to pull me up, but I mischievously dragged him near to me. Now he is soaked. He looked at me with surprise and I told him.

Now we are equal," I laughed at him.

"Seriously, Tria?" he giggled.

The way he called me "Tria" was enough to make me blush. Then we both got up from the river. Both of us were soaked, but we both laughed together. From that time onwards, Dante and I started our friendship. We spent a lot of time together, and he became my guide on the island. However, Dante treated me as his friend, but for me, it's not. I am not sure about my feelings, but the reason I am here is because of the guy in the dream. The days passed, but something unexpected happened in my life.

After coming back from shopping, I was about to take a bath. I had just removed my clothes and put on a bath towel when I realized I had forgotten to bring my body cream. As I went to get it, I accidentally collided with someone and we both fell down together. Ouch... I heard the voice of the person and tried to look at him. I was shocked to see a stranger in my room. I was about to shout, but he covered my mouth. I was only wearing a bath towel and I was being held by a stranger in my room. My mind was in chaos, tears welled up, and I was scared. I mostly closed my eyes out of fear. Then he told me, "Don't be afraid, I am a friend of your grandmother. She told me you were here ,So I thought I met you, but unfortunately, I didn't know you were bathing. You didn't even lock your room. I am really sorry to meet you in this awkward situation. After that, he loosened his hands, my bath towel almost slipped, then he adjusted it for me. At that time, I felt calm, then I slowly opened my eyes and saw him clearly. But he was already gone. At that time, my heart was beating crazily for no reason. Damn, who is he?

At dinner time, an awkward situation was going on between us. Yes, there was a new guest who came here. Dante was busy talking to my granny, while I was trying to avoid eye contact with Desmond. Yes, that guy I met in my room is none other than Dante's older brother, Desmond Blake. He is the guest. Desmond is a software engineer abroad, so he came to celebrate his vacation with family. Desmond was attached to everyone here, especially my grandmother. That surprised me. I didn't get the chance to meet Dante, now his older brother Desmond too. The problem is he saw me half-naked, it's embarrassing. So I slowly ate my food.

"Tria...," my granny started our conversation.

"Yes, granny?"

"Why are you so quiet?"

"Why? It's nothing."

"Maybe she feels jealous of me,

" Dan, that's not funny," I pouted.

"'CUTE,'" suddenly I looked at Desmond. Did he just call me cute? He avoided me and silently focused on food. Then soon I joined the chit-chat between Dan and granny.

The next morning, Granny took me out to the church. The car was driven by Desmond. It was really surprising to see him in the morning. While I was enjoying the scenery, Desmond and Granny were talking. We reached the church and prayed. While Granny was busy talking to the pastor, I walked towards Desmond. He was playing with his phone. Then I just looked at him and went to the other side of the church. It was a foggy morning on the island. Everywhere was fog, and I kind of liked this atmosphere. Everything about this island is pretty amazing. While I was walking, I saw an angel statue situated in the middle of the trees. I walked there with curiosity. "Wow," I exclaimed. It was the statue of Michael, the guardian angel.

Do Guardians exist? I thought. "I think maybe," I got interrupted by someone. It was Desmond. I was surprised to see how he read my thoughts. Seeing my facial expressions, he chuckled in front of me. I got angry, "you are teasing me again," I told him and tried to pass him. Suddenly he pulled me and whispered in my ear, "are you angry, Tria?" I didn't reply to him.

I was in a daze, still my heart beating crazily. The fragrance of his perfume engulfed me, and I tried to look at him closer. Compared to Dante, he is a breathtaking piece of art. Dante is a hottie, but Desmond has that seductive aura around him. His green eyes are very attractive. Then suddenly I was shocked to see that near his lips there was a black mole too. It was exactly like Dante's. I was shocked for a moment.

Hello, are you listening to me? he asked. Suddenly, I got away from him and walked towards the car. He was surprised to see me leaving him alone there. Then I saw Granny waiting for me. Desmond caught up with us and took us to the car. That day, I was fully disturbed about Desmond and Dante too. What's with this drama and destiny? Those moles are enough to kill my entire mood for a day!

One week has already passed. Next week, I will fly back to my home. During these days, I enjoyed a lot of things in my life, but an unexpected thing happened: Dante proposed to me. I was in shock, but he asked me for a date. I didn't give him an immediate reply; I told him I would reply later. Then my parents and cousins came to Granny's house because Granny wanted to announce something. I don't know what. As for Desmond, I feel so different around him. Whenever I am with him, it's very comfortable. It's like Desmond and I have similar tastes in everything. Even Granny teases us about that. Desmond knows everything about me, which is quite surprising. My feelings for him are different too. But I don't know if it's my one-sided feelings or if he is treating me like his own friend. What if everything turns awkward? Despite my confused mind, I come to a conclusion: yes, I will meet the lady in the love cafe.

Here I am, waiting for her to show up. I sit in the exact seat where I first met her and order the peach juice again. I look at the cherry blossom tree. People are still praying there. Unconsciously, I walk towards the tree and pray, "Please help me solve my love troubles." For the first time, I sincerely bow to the tree. I wait for her, but she doesn't appear. With a desperate mind, I sip my peach juice. Suddenly, I am interrupted by someone.

"What a coincidence. You like peach juice too?" I look at the person; it's Desmond. My eyes widen after seeing him. Then we have a conversation like this:

"Yes, but I didn't know you liked it too."

"Hehe~ What are you doing here?"

"Just passing some time."

"You were always with Dan. Now alone, is something going on between you guys?"

"Well... He kind of proposed to me."

"What?? Seriously? Then did you accept that?

No, I told him I will reply late.

Why? Don't you like him?

I don't know, I do like him but I am confused.

Pffft... You don't have any experience in relationships, right?

What? How did you know?

Well, I know everything about you, Tria.

Oh my, who are you exactly?

Your well-wisher.

Very well, it seems like you were in love with someone?

Yes, I am.

OMG.... Then tell me about her!

Hey, it's just nothing. She has forgotten about me, so it's just one-sided feelings.

Huhhhh!!!!

How can you say that? Did you confess to her?

No.

Why?

Because... forget it. Let's go home. I will drive you back.

He smiled at me. I find it weird. Then we both got into the car. It's a bit annoying that Desmond has a crush on someone. I am jealous. We reached our destination, but it's not my granny's house.

"Welcome to my home," Desmond greeted me. I entered an old-fashioned house. It was just in the compound of my grandmother's mansion. I didn't even get the chance to visit their home. I entered there. It was very cute; inside the hall, there was a small garden. Then upstairs, on the other side, was the kitchen and dining hall.

"Wow, your house is very cute," I told Desmond.

"I know, all thanks go to my dad," he smiled at me. "You just wait, I will bring something to drink," he went to the kitchen.

I looked around everywhere, then entered the stairs. There were three rooms. One was named Dante, Uncle Blake, Desmond, and another one seemed to be a little study room. With curiosity, I entered the study room. I saw a collection of all my favorite books and antiquities. Then in the corner, I saw a painting canvas and paint. "Wow! Someone is into painting too," I said. I saw the paints were mixed; however, the canvas was covered with a white cloth. "What is hiding inside of this canvas?" I thought as I took the cloth away...

Suddenly, I was frozen for a moment. What is painted in there? It skipped my heartbeat.

I put things back the way they were. At that moment, I felt so happy for no reason. I hurried over to Desmond, who was about to pour the juice into glasses. I looked at him slowly, my heart racing. I smiled at him, and he handed over the orange juice. Then we had a conversation like this:

"Des, maybe I should say yes to Dan?"

"Yeah, why not? Tell him how you feel."

"Okay, anyway, thanks for your advice."

"You are always welcome."

"Then, if we get along, I will help you to matchmake with that girl of yours."

He sweetly smiled at me, but I found that his smiling face was odd. Then, I soon said goodbye to him and walked towards my grandmother's house. This time, I made some decisions. That night, my granny announced that everyone in the family must go and visit the great love tree. That was a bit surprising because I didn't know that she also worshipped the tree. Then, everyone, including Dante's family, was also invited. That night, I held my necklace. This necklace, the tree of love, the love cafe, and the kimono lady, everything is connecting. Is it my destiny? She told me that when I experience these, only then will I know how deep these feelings are.

With a lot of confusion, I slept.

I had a dream that night. This time, in front of the great love tree, I was expecting someone. There was a guy near me with a black mole on the left side of his lips. I now clearly know that person. He kissed my hands again and told me, "I LOVE YOU... REMEMBER ME, REMEMBER OUR PROMISE." Then fog appeared, and I shouted, "Don't go." Then I opened my eyes.

I almost cried, but one thing I know is that I know him now.

The next day arrived, and everyone was ready to visit the great love tree. We entered the cafe and reserved our seats. I looked for the kimono lady, but she was nowhere to be found. I saw Dante and Desmond, and both of them smiled at me. Then we reached the love tree. There, granny explained how she met grandpa and how our family grew. The reason grandma met him was because of this love tree. She bowed to the tree. I was amazed to hear that.

While everyone was busy praying, I blankly stared at the tree. Then someone interrupted me.

"It seems like you were still in confusion, young lady," I recognized her voice. It's none other than the kimono lady. I was surprised. Then we had a conversation like this:

"Yes, I was searching for you everywhere."

"See, I told you, when you need me, I will be here. So what happened? Can't find answers?"

"It's not like that. But I know now who I am in love with. But the problem is why? Why didn't he confess to me?"

"So you are in love with him. Then why are you worried about that?"

"I don't know what to do."

"If you love someone, go and confess, then try to understand that person. You can't force anyone."

She smiled at me. "Thank you," I told her.

"Tria...." Grandmother called me.

Then the next second, the lady in front of me disappeared.

After prayer, we both returned to our house.

I was in deep thought, so to change my mood, I went fishing.

'You still love fishing?' I looked at the person who made the comment. It was Dante. I smiled at him. He came near and sat beside me. We didn't talk that much.

"Tria, so what's your answer?"

"Dan... I am sorry, I can't accept your feelings. You are my best friend. I never had romantic feelings for you. I am really sorry."

"It's okay Tria, I understand. But it doesn't mean we can't break our friendship." We both laughed at that.

I feel relaxed after so long. Now I am sure of my feelings.

"Hey, Tria, do you know tomorrow my brother is leaving for the USA."

"What??? So sudden."

"Yes, his vacation is finished. So he is returning."

I looked at Dante in disbelief. I know the exact reason he is leaving for, with anger and frustration.

I rushed towards Dante's house. Uncle Blake and Dante were in my house. So I am pretty sure about that. Desmond was there. When I got into the room, I knew exactly where he would be. He was busy reading something in the reading room. As I entered, the sound I made caused Desmond to look at me. I bet he was surprised to see me there. Then I quickly locked the door and looked at him furiously. Then we had a conversation like this:

"Wow, Tria, what happened?"

"You don't know anything about it, right Des?"

"Why are you angry? Besides, why did you lock the door?"

"Des, stop with your acting, I know everything."

"Tria, I don't understand what you are talking about."

"You don't know? You don't know, right? Then let me show you something."

I rushed towards the painting which was covered in a white cloth. I removed it and pointed there.,

"How in the world did you exactly paint my dream in this painting? Tell me, and you know that it's not just a dream. It's our memory from when we were together on that island in our teenage years. We promised each other we would meet again," I shouted at him.

Desmond looked at me with excitement. He closed his book and came near to me. He took my hands and kissed my fingers. I looked at him furiously, so he began to talk.

"Yes, finally you recognized me, Tria. Yes, I am the man you have been looking for for 25 years. I was near you, but you couldn't find me. Because of me, you despised our relationship and even love. I am so sorry. I wasn't that confident to come in front of you. I thought you were just passing time with me. But now I..."

"Now what?" I interrupted him. "You thought that I couldn't figure it out, didn't you? On the first day, I did. I have some doubts, but after seeing the painting, it's clear. Now you are leaving without saying anything, just like you did in our past. You thought I could mistake Dante as my partner, so you couldn't bear it and now you are running away, right?"

I burst into tears.

I saw the reluctant face of Desmond.

"Des, the truth is I love you and you love me too. Why can't you accept that?" I grabbed his collar. He looked into my teary eyes.

"You are a moron..." I opened the door and rushed outside. I couldn't see anything.

With a broken heart, I ended up in front of Love Cafe.

Now it's nighttime, less crowded. I stood in front of the great love tree. Then I began to remember my mischievous teenage years. It's true that I rarely came to stay with my granny. Then one day I met a guy, he is a college student. I don't know anything about him, not even his name. But the surprising thing is that we both have a common taste in everything. He was shy and introverted, but we began to get along. Then it ended up with us falling in love. On the day I decided to leave, we both promised that we would find each other. But years passed and I couldn't find him. Then after those years, I thought he had pranked me. But the problem is that he is hiding from me because he thought he is not worth me. Then after this reunion, we met. I figured him out, but he pretended he didn't know me. Then the painting is the proof.

I saw Desmond coming towards me. I avoided him and walked towards the great love tree. He walked towards me. Slowly he took my hands. Then I slapped his hands and told him, "Don't touch me." Then he forcefully pulled me closer to him. I struggled, then his forehead touched mine. I closed my eyes. His breath tickled me. His nose touched mine. I stopped struggling and calmly rested on his arms. I didn't even open my eyes because I was too afraid to see him.

Then we had a conversation like this:

"Why are you here, Des?"

"What do you think, Tria?"

"I don't know anything. You are a clueless guy after all."

"If you don't like me, then leave me alone. I won't bother you."

"Who told you that, Tria? I want you around. If I didn't, I wouldn't be here, right?"

"I don't trust you. Soon you will make me feel better and run away again, just like you did five years ago."

Tria, just shut up and listen to me. It's true I wasn't brave that time, but I didn't run away. To have you by my side, I need to have some confidence. That's why I hid my identity. I know you were the daughter of our landlord, but it's hard when you fall in love; you will forget about everything. I thought you were joking with me. But...

Des, you didn't even trust me, I know it. I opened my eyes and forcefully separated my body from him.

"Let's go home, I've had enough," I told Desmond. He looks frustrated.

"You..." He stopped suddenly, then dragged me towards the car. He pushed me into the seat.

"Wait, what are you..." I didn't get the chance to talk. He locked the car doors and drove wildly. He is driving dangerously. I began to shake with fear.

"Are you going to kill me? Just stop the car," I told him. But he didn't listen to me. He drove wildly.

"STOP IT!" I shouted at him. He stopped the car.

What's your problem? I'm angry with him.

You... He replied to me.

Okay, fine. I am leaving now. I tried to open the door.

Then he took the car. Finally, I reached my home. I got out of the car without saying anything to him.

It's like finally we are over. That night became my sleepless.

The next day, I felt sick. I knew he would leave today. So I deliberately rushed towards the love cafe. It was filled with people. I found a quiet place to sit down.

"Are you okay?" I was interrupted by the kimono lady. I burst into tears. She hugged me and patted my head, saying, "It's okay." I told her everything. Then we had a conversation like this,

"I can't believe him. Why is he doing this to me?"

"Give him some time. Maybe he doesn't have the courage to confess to you. You did your part," she smiled at me.

"I don't have any expectations," I smiled at her painfully.

Then she told me, "If you hold your feelings more strongly, it will definitely reach him," and kissed my forehead. I was surprised.

"What's your name?" I asked her.

"It's Miyuki......"

"Miyuki???"

"Tria...." We were interrupted by a familiar voice.

"It's Desmond." I was surprised to see him. Did he chase me?

"Didn't he leave?" I asked with confusion. When I looked at the lady, she was already gone. Desmond rushed towards me, and to avoid him, I walked towards the other side of the cafe, which had a small, less crowded lake.

Suddenly, I was pulled by Desmond. I made eye contact with him, and just as I was about to say something, he kissed me. I was shocked. I wanted to push him away, but surprisingly, I didn't. Unconsciously, I wrapped my arms around him. He pushed my body into his and gently kissed me on my lips. Finally, we broke free. He still held my forehead towards him, and our noses touched.

Then he began to talk like this,

Yesterday, I was chased by you for confessing my feelings, but you didn't listen to me. All I could do was kiss you and ask you to come back with me.

"You don't know how much I've held back my feelings for you. You don't know how crazy I am about you. But I want to tell you, listen to me, Tria... I love you. I love everything about you. I don't care about your family or status. I need you. I want you to be mine only."

At that moment, I burst into tears and kissed him all over his face. We hugged each other. "Let's go and talk to your parents," he told me. "Yes," I replied to him. After that, we headed straight to our families. Desmond canceled his flight. We talked to them, and surprisingly, everyone agreed to our relationship. Days passed, and my grandmother told us to visit the great love tree. My entire family and Desmond visited once again.

I bowed to the tree and said my thanks too. At that time, I remembered the lady who helped. I told everyone about that, then suddenly my grandmother seemed to be in shock.

"Did you see her?" she asked me.

"Yes, she helped me," I replied to her.

Suddenly, my grandmother came near to me and kissed my forehead. "My child is blessed. Do you know who that is?" she asked me.

"If I remember correctly, she told me her name is Miyuki."

Her eyes widened. Then she pulled me into the inscription area of the love tree. She told me to look there, so I curiously looked.
