"Shina?"
"Have you seen, Shina?"
"Did Shina came by here?"
Is Shina here?"
Yu sat beside grandmother Sumika who was busy with the other grandmother of the village. Grandmother Sumika is the Elder's wife. Every now and then, all the older women of the village gather at her house to weave baskets.
"You've been roaming the whole village looking for Shina. It seems like she's been hiding from you, isn't she?" said one of the grandma's
Yu laughed as he shakes his head. "That's impossible, grandma. The relationship we have, how would I say this, we've started to get closer."
"Would we be seeing a shower of flowers soon, Yu?"
The grandma's started to giggle like teenage girls. He knew that they were teasing him but how could he deny it?
It had been years since Ayakawa left him. He just met Shina just a few months ago and from those months, his consciousness was in and out. But all he could say what he felt was 'Koi no Yokan'.
