"That wasn't like what you saw, Brother Young… Let me explain…"
"There's no more you have to explain, Mizuki… I've seen it with my own eyes… That teddy bear is from him, isn't it? You've become his girlfriend right now. You may not go out with any other boys again. Otherwise, that will make Rivaldo Athaya Lee jealous and angry."
"No, Brother Young… That wasn't like what you saw and you've thought…" Mizuki Jean's slight tears had been seen flowing down from the edge of her eyes.
Mizuki Jean would approach her beloved Brother Young. Yet, Young Mimasaka avoided her disappointedly and fractionally angrily by taking two steps backwards.
"Why didn't you tell me honestly and frankly when I expressed my love and feeling towards you on that day, Mizuki? Why didn't you say to me straightforwardly that you'd already had your crush on Rivaldo Athaya Lee? Why did you let me live within my false hope and wish within these several days? Is it really enjoyable making fun of me, Mizuki? Is it really pleasurable making my feeling, my sincerity and my love to you as your laughing stock?"
Mizuki Jean was merely crying and bawling out loud. She found out that her beloved Brother Young had misunderstood her and didn't believe in all her words anymore. She felt immensely sad and sorrowful.
"I know I'm not worthy of you at all. I'm merely an ugly and fat boy with only my deep and sincere feeling to you. I don't have anything else which I can offer to you. However, that doesn't mean you can be so cruel, so heartless and so inhumane to me, does it? Why do you do this to me, Mizuki? Why do you make me wait for you, and then you break all my sincerity, my waiting, my longing and my feeling for you? Why, Mizuki…? Why can you be so cruel and so heartless to me like this?"
Young Mimasaka's helpless as well as miserable tears was also seen rolling down from the corner of his eyes.
"No, Brother Young… Please listen to me first… Please…" cried Mizuki Jean.
"I bought these couple necklaces. One of them was for myself. The other one was for you. But, that seems to be solely my own imagination. That isn't real… That imagination doesn't come true at all… Since that's the case, I think I don't need to keep these couple necklaces anymore… Because every time I look at them, they'll remind me of my own hurtful as well as piercing love ordeal…"
Young Mimasaka threw away those couple necklaces out of the window.
"Brother Young… Why did you throw them away?" cried Mizuki Jean more loudly this time.
"There's nothing to be maintained again between both of us… There's nothing left again between both of us… Congratulations, Mizuki… Congratulations for being Rivaldo Athaya Lee's girlfriend right now… Sorry… If I don't become that special person in your heart and mind, I can't be anybody else. I can't be one of your best friends, or one of your best brothers. Hopefully, you'll always be happy and cheerful beside that Rivaldo Athaya Lee."
Mizuki Jean really couldn't utter out anything else. She thought that everything she'd say would turn to be useless and in vain. Mizuki Jean was merely heard sobbing sadly and miserably.
"It's nearly three o'clock… I've still got another private tuition to attend… I'm off first…"
Having said that, Young Mimasaka took his steps out of the library and left Mizuki Jean alone. Mizuki Jean could solely shout sadly as well as helplessly,
"Wait… Don't go away, Brother Young… Don't go away from me… Please listen first to my explanation…"
Tears and tears carried on rolling down from Mizuki Jean's edge of eyes. Wiping off her tears, Mizuki Jean decided to go downstairs. Because Young Mimasaka threw away the couple necklaces from one of the windows of the library, Mizuki Jean knew for sure, those couple necklaces were certainly in the school backyard. Mizuki Jean was seen searching and searching for the couple necklaces for more than half hour before finally she found them inside the small pond at the school backyard.
Clutching and holding those two couple necklaces, Mizuki Jean still sobbed and wept quite sorrowfully and pitifully. There was nothing to be heard anymore besides Mizuki Jean's sorrowful and pitiful crying.
***
It'd been quite a couple of days Mizuki Jean hadn't seen her beloved Brother Young. Young Mimasaka hadn't been coming to school for quite many days. Mizuki Jean was dreadfully worried and anxious, but there wasn't a great deal she could do. Mizuki Jean had also been trying to call and to text her beloved Brother Young, yet there weren't any replies she obtained.
And today, suddenly, out of a sudden, the news about the death of Young Mimasaka's parents was heard throughout the school. Of course Mizuki Jean was also immensely shocked and startled having heard the news.
"Have you been able to contact your beloved Brother Young, Mizuki?" asked Olivia Tenggara – one of Mizuki Jean's best friends in school.
"Not yet… I keep on failing and failing in reaching him. His number is always inactive. All the messages which I've sent him haven't reached him yet," replied Mizuki Jean with her slightly tearful eyes.
"Or perhaps, has he changed his number already?" Olivia Tenggara was like speaking to herself.
"Or perhaps, has he decided to move to another school, or even to another town or another country after his parents' death, Olivia? I don't know how to deal with that. I don't know anymore where I ought to look for him," said Mizuki Jean with all her great fear and anxiety.
"So, what are your plans next?" asked Olivia Tenggara again.
"No idea… I'm solely a secondary-one student. There's not a great deal I can do here. I just hope someday later Brother Young will reply my messages and drop me a line," murmured Mizuki Jean miserably.
"Just be patient, Mizuki… Just keep praying… I'm deadly sure someday later on, your beloved Brother Young will reply all your messages and tell you where he is." Olivia Tenggara tried to give her best friend more and more encouragement.
Again and again Mizuki Jean sobbed and wept sorrowfully.

The dream reached the peak and flashed back to the present time again. Mizuki Jean opened her eyes. She realized that had all been in the past. She soon realized that at the present time, she'd already been twenty two years old.
Mizuki Jean realized that she'd just graduated from her secretarial studies in university. She was now living at Tokyo. After some information which she'd obtained about her Brother Young, she decided to apply for a job in an electronic goods enterprise. Since Mizuki Jean was keen on Japanese, Indonesian, and English, it wasn't difficult for her to be accepted in that electronic goods enterprise. Within two months of working, she'd already been promoted as the main CEO's secretary in that enterprise.
Mizuki Jean got down from the bed, got herself ready and subsequently cooked her own breakfast. Although she was now living in Tokyo, Mizuki Jean still enjoyed Indonesian cuisines. She often bought the ingredients from the online shops. She kept all those ingredients in the refrigerator and cooked them for her breakfast as well as dinner. Like this morning, she was seen cooking some Indonesian pork noodles for herself.
After her breakfast, she caught the MRT to the enterprise where she worked. Arriving at her own working room, Mizuki Jean was seen sitting at her desk. She didn't switch on her personal computer; she opened her drawer directly. In the drawer, there had been lots of reports which she'd collected from each division and this morning she was going to submit all those reports to her CEO to be approved and signed. Mizuki Jean also took her own secretarial reports as well which should have been approved and signed by her CEO.
"Good morning, Mr. Hikaru…" greeted Mizuki Jean smiling sweetly in front of her CEO.
Hikaru Suzuki, a twenty-eight-year-old man, with his military haircut, with his rather skinny body, also smiled in his friendly way to Mizuki Jean Takigawa.
"Are there any meeting schedules for me today?" asked Hikaru Suzuki.
"No, Sir… All meetings with the important clients were finished yesterday. Today, there are merely reports from each division which you need to check and sign," replied Mizuki Jean smiling sweetly and professionally.
"Okay then… How about the meeting minutes from all yesterday's meetings, Mizuki?" asked Hikaru Suzuki again.
"I've finished all of them, Mr. Hikaru… Here they are, Sir…" Mizuki Jean put all the meeting minutes on Hikaru Suzuki's desk.
"I asked you to type them in Japanese, English and also Indonesian, didn't I?"
"Yes, Sir… I get them ready in those three languages… You can have a look at them…"
"Okay… Leave all those reports and meeting minutes on my desk… You can go back to your work…" said Hikaru Suzuki smiling in his friendly fashion again.
Mizuki Jean slightly bowed down her head. Subsequently, she walked out of the CEO personal working room. Hikaru Suzuki was then seen checking the documents one by one.
