My Little Prince's
Little Girl in the Playground

A few minutes my phone rang. I smiled, raising the call.

" Hey, Haku!" I said cheerfully and excitedly.

" Yuko. I heard there was an accident in the Literature hall. Are you all right?" ask Haku to worry.

" I'm fine." I said kindly.

" Thankfully. Where are you now? I didn't see you get off the bus?"

" Ehm.. I'm not allowed to go camping."

" But why? Did something happen?"

" ah.. No, Haku. I'm doing fine. I just feel a little unwell. So I asked for permission not to go to camp." I said lie. I'm afraid if I tell you everything Haku will be very worried about me.

" Then get enough rest. Sorry for not being able to accompany you" Haku said in a regretful tone.

" It's okay. Oya Haku, today I will start occupying my contract huh. I have no activities so I'll move."

" all right. But always tell me yes. If you need anything, call me."

" Hey." I said with a small laugh.

" Let me call again, Yuko. We should make a tent first."

" All right."

I ended that call too. I immediately sent a message to Sora and Ken not to tell Haku about the events in the literature hall. I don't want to make Haku worry about me.

Some time Zen sis has come in carrying some snacks. Then she handed me a strawberry ice cream.

I smiled at him. "Where do you know I like strawberry ice cream?" many enthusiast.

" Sister is only doing according to instinct" said brother Zen smiling kindly. "Because instinct is the only way to survive in this world."

" Thanks, Brother." I started eating my ice cream. Afraid of melting.

" Hm.. But how do you know the lights are gonna fall, Yuko?" sis Zen asked, looking at me seriously.

" I saw it in my dreams, Brother."

" Dreams?"

" Hhm." I nodded slowly. "Actually I had doubts. But after I noticed everything was exactly the same as I saw in my dream. So I ventured to see brother."

" What happened in your dream? Did you hit that lamp?"

I nodded slowly. "Even my brother was hurt very badly. The iron pierced through big brother's body." I said shuddering in horror recalling the dream.

" Did you dream a lot and then the dream came true, Yuko?" ask Zen seriously.

" no. This is the first time." I replied slowly.

" Sister is sorry."

" Why are you apologizing?"

" You got hurt trying to save brother" said Brother Zen slowly. "If you hadn't pulled me back then, maybe big brother would have been completely gone." Zen's brother stood up and stared out of the window.

" I'm fine, brother. And I would feel so guilty if I didn't do anything at that time. And I will continue to be haunted by my guilt for life." I said sincerely.

Zen sister turned to look at me and smiled sweetly. He walked over and picked up something he had brought from the canteen earlier. Then prepare it and try to bribe me.

" I can do it myself sister." I refused politely.

" ah. Of course I don't want to..!!" I said spontaneous out of fear. Just imagining the needle made me grieve.

Brother Zen chuckled a little to see me expression of fear.

" Open your mouth..!" brother Zen's orders are slow.

I finally complied. Brother Zen bribed me very painstakingly.

" I just found out that there's a cake like this in the cafeteria." I said.

" Because this cake is not for sale in the cafeteria" said Brother Zen as he fed me back.

" Where did you buy it from?" I was a little curious.

" Sister made it last night. Actually for camp. But it turns out we're not going to North Kanto."

" I'm sorry, brother. I should have just left with them." I said a little frown.

" No, Yuko. Brother is happy here." brother Zen smiled and returned to bribe me.

" Sister is good at making cakes huh. Gee.. It's great." I said in amazement.

Brother Zen smiled as he began to put the empty plate on the table next to my bed.

" You like him, Yuko?"

I nodded excitedly. "of course. Brother's cake is really good." I replied sincerely.

This time Zen's brother laughed a little showing a row of white teeth neatly arranged.

" Then I'll make it again tomorrow."

" No need brother! That's not what it means." I said quickly because it felt bad.

" It's okay. My sister is happy to do it. Because making a cake like that always reminds you of someone."

" Someone?"

" yes. He loved the cake that brother made back then." brother Zen stared back out the window.

" So you can also make a cake for her right now."

" No, Yuko. Big brother couldn't.." suddenly his gaze turned into like there was longing and sadness.

" Why?" manya curious.

" Because you don't know where he is at the moment" said Brother Zen glaring far away. "Sister met him when he was 9 years old. At that time my brother was on vacation with his family to a place of distant relatives. He accidentally met her at the playground. I was going to buy ice cream at the time. Ice cream has already been sold out. Suddenly he approached her and gave her an ice cream and smiled very sweetly. It just so happened that she had 2 ice cream, so she wanted to share it with big brother back then. And brother gave her a box of cookies that she made herself. He ate it very voraciously and said it was the tastiest cake he had ever eaten. Since then, my sister has never forgotten him. It was our first and last meeting. After that, my brother returned to Tokyo. And all these years you still remember that little girl." Looked like a smile. "Until one day when my brother was an adult, I decided to go to the area again to find out about him. But my brother never found it. Even brother doesn't know his name." said brother Zen slowly.

" Sorry, Yuko. Brother so tell you something like that."

" It's okay, brother. I'm glad to hear it. Then she's the first love that big brother said was yes?" my guess.

" Hm.. Brother just wants to know what he is like now and wants to know his whereabouts alone. Maybe he's now entering a university or still SMU."

" But if you don't know his name it will be a little difficult to find out about him anyway." I said slowly.

" You're right, Yuko." Zen's brother turned around and smiled at me. "Don't you think about that. You need to focus on your recovery. You also must not eat carelessly so that your stitches dry up immediately..!!"

..." Uh.. Um.. Yes brother.."...
