After hearing Haru's words,she had felt something she'd never felt before:Hope.She now had hope to finally end all the suffering she's been through.At this moment,Haru was thinking about something.He had been thinking about how Rina can be seen by the human eye.He immediately asked"Rina,how come all the people see you?"She responded"Well,thats a very good question,but not the best one to answer.Its very complicated,and I simply don't know how to break it to you."Haru understood and a moment of silence suddenly struck them.After a few minutes of silence,Rina decided to continue the conversation by saying"Haru,how old are you?"Haru responded"I'm 11.What about you?"Rina told him she was in the same age when she died.After hearing Rina's words,he suddenly felt a connection between him and her.He asked whether he felt something,and she did.She asked him"Are you my soulmate?"He suddenly froze and became speechless for at least 15 seconds before finally saying"I think...."Rina turned red and told him to go home now since it was getting late.Rina just couldn't admit that everytime she saw him,it felt like her heart skipped a beat.But the truth was,she had no heart anymore.Haru faced the other direction with a red face and said goodbye to her before leaving.He left,and once again,Rina looked out the window to see him.This happened almost everyday.Haru never got tired of talking with her and Rina was very much happy to listen to him.Haru had fallen in love with her,and the same went for Rina.For some reason,Haru couldn't tell her that he loved her as well,no matter how much he wanted to say it to her directly.Rina did feel the same,but she just couldn't say it to him either.When Haru got home,his mom once again asked him what had happened but he just made up another excuse and went into his room.The same thing that happened yesterday also happened at dinner.Haru's mother,named Lia,became very curious.She was thinking about what or who was making her son this quiet.She was a very understanding woman,so she decided not to meddle with her son's life anymore and let him
have his privacy from now on.It was one specific day that made Haru's mother very worried.That very day,Haru came home very late.Before he came home,his mother was so worried and looked at the clock every 5 minutes to see what time it was.But she was so tired,she fell asleep.When Haru came in the house,he saw his mother asleep on the table.He had felt the weariness of his mother while waiting for him for hours so he just decided to put a blanket on her and ate the dinner his mother prepared for him at his room.The following day,his mother woke up earlier than him and saw what her son did.She smiled and decided to cook her son's favorite dish.Haru woke up and got to smell his favorite food.He immediately got out of his room and ate his breakfast.He thanked and said goodbye to his mother before leaving.
As soon as school ended,he went straight to Rina's.Before Haru had arrived,Rina had prepared a surprise for him.He went inside the old house and Rina came down the stairs wearing a beautiful pink dress.Haru was surprised and immediately ran to her.She smiled at him with a red face and Haru suddenly said"Rina,I love you."Rina suddenly made eye contact with him,gathered all her feelings together,and kissed him.Suddenly,she didn't pass through and Haru was very surprised.As soon as she took her lips off him he asked her"How did that happen?"Rina smiled and said she was also surprised when she found out at first.She also explained thats how she got to wear the dress.Haru said"Thats very nice.I like your dress,by the way."Rina says thanks you with a red face and hugs him.They have spend a few hours together before Haru set off home.Once Haru got home,his mother gave him a nice welcome and prepared a delicious meal.After a few days of comfort,Haru somehow started to face very hard challenges.His grades were going down faster than the speed of light and things were starting to get a bit hard to keep up with.Because of this,he rarely got to visit Rina and almost didn't have time to speak to his mother.When the final examinations struck,things started to get really intense.He got stressed out at this time of the week and almost failed his exams.After the examinations,he decided to go visit Rina again after a few weeks of not visiting her.Right after graduating,he already wanted to go to Rina's house,but he just couldn't because his mother was with him.When they got home,he decided to head straight to Rina's.When he got inside,Rina wasn't there.He looked everywhere,but she wasn't there at all.Little did he know,she started to worry and decided to look for him.After a few weeks of not seeing Rina,Rina suddenly came into their house.
