5 First Time I Meet You, Who Are You?

5 years ago...

Before Fuyuki went away, that afternoon Madara spoke to Fuyuki for the first time.

*Illustration:

Madara is playing with his friends in the forest. Then, from a distance, d he saw the little girl draw on the ground and cried makers, "Mama... mama... mama..." the little girl mumbled a little as she wiped the tears from rolling down her cheeks.

Madara was silent seeing him "Oh sad girl," he thought, then he approached the little girl.

"Hey, where are you going?" shouted his friend from a distance.

"Sorry, I have a business for a while. I will be back soon." Madara was not forthright, he immediately ran to where the little girl, and waved his hand to his friends.

"Ugh, how's it going?" Mikaze asked the others.

"Okay, let's wait, if he doesn't come in 5 minutes, let's stay," Sakata tells his friend, he is Madara's friend too at that time.

....

Then 5 minutes have passed...

Madara never came.

"How about this?" Hikawa also asked his friends.

"Let's stay." Sakata led the way in the middle of the forest.

****

"Are you ok?" Madara who approached the silent little girl saw herself in front of her. But, when he asked suddenly the little girl cried loudly.

"Oi, oi, calm down." Madara tried to calm the little girl but to no avail.

The intention Madara wanted to help but, even scare him. "Ah, sorry, I scared you." Madara tried to smile to comfort her, then reached out his hand to calm the girl down.

The boy looked at him with an astonished expression "Ng?"

"I'm Madara, what's your name?"

"Ng..."

"...."

Maybe this kid is still in shock, he thought.

Madara saw the image of the little girl on the ground, a woman holding a rose. Madara tried to ask him "Who is this?" while pointing at the picture.

"Mama." The little girl answered quickly.

"Mama? Do you want to meet your mama?"

"Ng." The little girl nodded.

'Looks like my guess was right, this kid got lost. The only way out of this forest is through the south.'

"Okay let's go find your mama." Madara stretched out his hand while waiting for the little girl to return his hand.

Sadly, the little girl grabbed Madara's outstretched hand.

"Are you mommy's friend?" The little girl looked up to see Madara.

"No," Madara responded with a faint smile.

"Do you know mommy?" the little girl asked again.

Madara sighed and continued speaking "Sorry I don't know your mama, but I can get you out of here."

The two of them walked until they reached the exit of the forest.

They finally managed to get out but the boy fell silent with an expression as level as aboard.

"Well, from here maybe you can memorize where your house is? That way you can meet your mama."

"My house isn't here. Maybe papa will come." The little girl continued to hold Madara's hand until her father came.

"Dad? Isn't it mommy?"

"Earlier mama left me, she said she wanted to find my brother."

"Brother? What do you mean old brother?"

"Mama said, my brother, is around here. But mama will kill brother."

"So?"

"I have to meet mama to stop doing it. I'm sad if my brother is killed. My brother is very good." The little girl said it expressionlessly, meaning her words were serious.

Suddenly a car appeared in the distance and headed for the two of them. "Clara, come here!" A man said to the little girl, from inside his car while opening his car door.

"No! No! I want to be with my brother."

"Okay, we'll see you later."

"Brother will die!"

"What are you talking about? Come here quickly!"

Suddenly two young men came out from the side door of the back of the car and dragged him into the car. After confirming that the little girl was already in the car, the car door was closed and then locked tightly.

Instantly the car left Madara.

Madara felt had helped the little girl and he going back to where his friends played in the woods because he has promised to meet up with him.

While a few minutes ago...

Madara is considered the most important person when they play, but what is expected is not there, "Hmm... no Madara being boring." Akihito said with a frown on his face and became dispirited when he said it.

"Calm down Akkun, maybe Madara will come soon." Sana had been worried about Madara and tried to encourage Akihito.

"Never mind, I'm tired of waiting. Lately, Madara often comes out suddenly for no apparent reason. Enough, I want to go home!" Sakata said sarcastically and walked towards the road back to his house.

"Then I'm going home too..." Hikawa followed Sakata go to home because the road to their house was one way.

"We'd better find someone else tomorrow besides Madara," Hikawa said to Sakata while walking.

"Okay ready." Sakata gave a thumbs up.

Hikawa and Sakata's conversation in the distance was heard by Mikaze, then Mikaze decided to go home too and waved at the remaining people, namely Akihito and Sanae.

"Sanae you still want to wait for him?"

"Uh..."

"I'll go home."

Because Sanae didn't want to be left behind, Sanae finally went home with Akihito.

A few minutes later...

Madara came, but there was no one there. He thought that all his friends would go home because they were waiting for Madara for a long time. He made sure to check it out by visiting his friends' houses one by one and apologizing for taking so long. But instead of an apology which received Madara but treated coldly and cynically as if they hated Madara and had not wanted to be friends with him anymore.

Madara was devastated by their intolerant attitude. Suddenly tears came out of her eyes and dripped down her cheeks. He looked down sadly as he thought about it. "What's a friend?" he muttered...

"If I were a bad person, mung kin I've beat them..." Madara's fist annoyed with her tears is increasingly pouring into the street. Without realizing it, Madara, who was walking on the sidewalk across the road, was about to be approached by a truck that was to hit him.

"If only I were stronger..." he kept muttering without noticing the situation.

The truck got closer and hit it right away!

Suddenly a boy came in a flash of white hair touched Madara and bring it to the roadside. "Fortunately, if you were even a few seconds late your life would have been lost."

Madara was silent and stared at the child, he saw... "He is the boy who was guided by grandfather at the temple!" He was Fuyuki Matsuda, who was helping Madara at that time. Fuyuki and Madara didn't know each other and didn't even know his name. However, Madara often saw grandfather training the three of them from a distance, namely Fuyuki, Hiyori, and Mawaru.

Madara looked at him seriously without blinking a second...

Fuyuki who looked at Madara then asked "Are you okay?" Madara was still looking at him seriously while Fuyuki turned his face away from Madara's "Ugh... is there something wrong with me?" he asked with a doubtful face.

Madara still amazed, blinked and immediately realized, "Ugh, no!"

"Thank goodness you're okay." Fuyuki patted Madara's head and stroked it (at that time Fuyuki was taller than Madara) "Bye " Fuyuki said goodbye briefly and left him.

"Thank you," Madara said to Fuyuki, then looked down sadly.

Fuyuki couldn't bear to leave him, he sees Madara paused at the curb and tears. Fuyuki turned towards Madara then took his hand and invited him to sit on a park bench. Fuyuki tries to calm him down by asking Madara to tell him the problem (who knows he has a solution to solve it).

Madara was finally willing to tell...

"Men should not be weepy (Fuyuki pulls out a tissue from his pocket, wiping tears of Madara with the tissue). You're a good person because it is helping others." Fuyuki said while motivating him.

"No, I'm not good. I've been bad for leaving my friend." Said Madara while crying bitterly.

"Hm... in the end your friends left you too, right? They only think about themselves and don't care about you. They only need you but not your feelings. Then they do bad to you, right?"

Madara just nodded in response to his words.

"...."

"Don't despair! In this world, there are still many people who want to accept you and you can make friends with anyone, accept life as it is. One day there must be a true friend who will make you and your heart stronger." The words that were spoken by Fuyuki started to revive Madara again.

"Can I be friends again?" Madara looked at Fuyuki with a hopeful expression.

"Of course. Look for as many friends, not many problems and a critical friend could be your strength and your ties become stronger together." Madara today could be a gangster because of the words spoken by Fuyuki at that time.

"Do you have a friend like that?" (besides being taller than Madara, Fuyuki is also one year older than Madara, Hiyori, and Mawaru)

"Yes, of course, I have." Fuyuki looked up at the sky with a faint smile.

"What are they like?" Madara was curious.

"Once, I left home because I was often treated badly by my family. I think on the outside there will be a lot of people who are treated worse than that ... I'm very desperate, and I go away, then I met with both of them... (Hiyori and Mawaru). They have a life with me. They accepted me well until one day there was grandfather helped all three of us. the old man took us to a temple near his house, he took care of the three of us well, taught us many things, and trained us to be independent. I thought no one cared about me, but there is. As long as we try to find him, we will find him."

"Woaaah~ you are amazing."

"I'm?" 'hahaha...' Fuyuki chuckled, "I'm just an ordinary person. I'm just a weak person, they give me the strength of heart. Grandfather also often gives me advice when my heart is sad. As long as there are people who care near you that person is a friend true you. A good friend will not leave his friend, and a good friend will accept you for who you are."

"Oh~ Friend, yeah..." Madara's eyes were glazed and kept thinking about the meaning of the word said.

"...."

"Will you be my friend?"

"Hmm..."

"You don't want to be my friend?"

"Okay."

Instantly Madara's face flashed a big smile "Sis, promise!" Madara raised his pinky finger, "I also promise as a friend, I will not leave you then we will be strong together."

Then Fuyuki replied to his promise by tying his little finger to Madara's little finger "Yes, I promise. I won't leave you either." Fuyuki smiled gently.

"Hm..., thank goodness." Madara was happy because Fuyuki was his only friend at the moment.

"You as a man can't be a crybaby."

"Well," Madara answered readily with enthusiasm.

In Fuyuki's heart "Thank God he smiled back, " as if he received guidance.

"It's getting late, you'd better go home."

"That's right, grandpa must be waiting for me!" Madara is immediately gloomy, in his mind maybe grandfather will scold him for coming home late at night.

"Be careful on the road!" Fuyuki waved at Madara, a sign of farewell.

"Wait, how about you? Where do you live? Haven't you run away from home?" Madara asked slightly worried about Fuyuki leaving him.

"Hm... anywhere is fine. As long as someone expects you to come back it's your home. Yes, I think so." Fuyuki said so with his optimistic smile.

Since then Madara makes Fuyuki a role model.

"Bye," Fuyuki waved a second time and he walked away from Madara.

"Let's meet again sometime," Madara shouted by waving his hand at Fuyuki.

It turned out to be true, he was the boy who was at the temple near the house practicing with Grandfather.

"Eh, I forgot to ask her name...!"

Who is he...?
