My Little Prince's
Haku's Past

After a while Mirae came with a small navy box and handed it to Haku.

Haku immediately opened the box and saw a pair of silver rings that were very sweet and carved so simple.

Haku started picking up one of the rings and began to put it on my ring finger. I smiled a little and felt like a dream.

Then I started picking up the other ring and started putting it on Haku's ring finger. Her fingers felt so soft and warm when the tip of my finger touched her.

It feels a little nervous, but I'm very happy tonight. My smile began to expand, as did Haku. Our family members also smile to see all this.

"Finally you can be together .." said Haku's mother who turned out to have shed her tears because she was moved.

"really so. The two of them had already passed through a road full of gravel all this time. And it wasn't easy .." Now my mother is also shedding tears.

"Mother .." I said and hugged my mother. While Haku also directly hugged his mother who sat next to him.

It feels like tonight is really happy and full of money. Although it is just a fiancee and a wedding appointment, but this is something good.

After a while we started having dinner together. The atmosphere is also warm. Dinner with our two families after a long time without seeing each other. And this is the family's second dinner for the first time after Haku and I had a wedding appointment. This dinner was tinged with small talk and laughter together. So warm.

After finishing dinner with Haku took me to the 2nd floor balcony. While others still continue their kangen meeting in the living room while enjoying a movie and some dessert.

"Haku .." ah .. Just saying her name makes me flutter.

Haku grabbed my fingers slowly. His hands were warm even though outside the air felt a little cold.

"I'm sorry if I didn't tell you earlier .." he said slowly.

"You said you didn't need an apology and a thank you in a bond .." I said with a faint smile.

Haku let out a small laugh after hearing my words. I also laughed with him.

"I'm so happy tonight, Yuko" he said gently. The moonlight shone on her slightly dim face and body, yet made her extremely charming. The night wind that started blowing and felt a little cold made her hair dance a little in the air. His eyes felt shady, warm and very soothing. I saw her eyes that looked so happy tonight. Her smile was so sweet and sweet.

"I can't wait for spring to arrive .." he said, which made my face even more blushing.

Spring ... In about 6 months spring will come. And that means me and Haku are getting married. Ah ... Imagining it embarrassed me. But I also feel very happy and a little impatient.

Spring and autumn are considered good days to have a wedding in Japan. It is still believed by most people in Japan. And our parents still believe it.

"Yuko ... Are you crying?" said Haku who realized my eyes were now watering.

"No .." I immediately wiped away my tears that were now almost spilled. "I'm just too happy" I said and laughed.

"Yuko. I promise I won't make you cry again. I will always protect you! That's the promise I've made since then. When we first met and talked to each other!" haku said slowly and seriously.

"On the first day we met and talked to each other ... I've changed my mindset. From that moment on I started to change. I was so desperate that I chose to end it all, but you were present and could change all my thinking." Haku now lowered his voice.

"I felt very bad at the time. My father was vilified for embezzlement and he was accused of killing his co-workers at the time. They all said to me and labeled me the son of a murderer." Haku let go of his grasp and turned his gaze to look at the scene of the buildings before him.

"They all stayed away from me. Even they all excommunicate me. No one wants to be friends with me. Even those seniors started liking to beat me up back then. I'm powerless to fight him, Yuko. I was just a little boy who didn't know anything at the time. And I'm so weak. But I fell victim to the slanted news and it wasn't true .." I saw Haku's eyes begin to glaze over. And I walked closer to him.

"Since I met you, I felt that I should be able to get through all this! I need to stay strong and keep going. And from then on I promised myself to always take care of you. To always protect you .." now he turns around and looks at me.

Hearing all the stories of his past made my heart a little sliced and very sick. Poor little Haku had to go through it all alone back then.

"Now, my father can prove his innocence. But all the views of society have changed little. They're still cold to my family. But my family was so grateful when Dad was transferred to a branch office in Tokyo. Maybe in a new life and place everything will get better." Haku took a breath and took it out slowly. Then he sat on a bench.

"They were very happy in a new place. Dad's work is good too. He even went up in office. But I can't be happy one bit. I still miss Sapporo and miss you, Yuko ... My days in Tokyo seemed to be empty again like when I had not met you. I became quieter and I didn't even get along easily. I always look forward to your presence in Tokyo like you promised me. But ... I had time to leave before I met you ..." now Haku really shed his tears and his voice sounded very soft.

I immediately walked up to him and stood before him who was still sitting, then I slowly grabbed him. Rest it in my chest and in my arms. He's still a little sobbing. I patted and gently rubbed his shoulder.

Even I myself have shed my tears a little. And I immediately rubbed it.

"Yes ... I-i know. It must have been very heavy .." I said, which sounded a bit raucous.

This time I knew all of that. Previously Haku always looked strong and cheerful. But tonight I just found out the weak side that he had been keeping himself. It must have been very hard for him. I'm sorry Haku. You have always been there for me. But I didn't know your heaviest burden at the time.
