ARE THEY SIMILAR

2 years ago.....

A fifteen year old girl stood In-front of a house which had a lock on it... her eyes clearly showing sorrow and attachment towards that house. Still, only a single tear manages to slip by her eyes and a helpless quiver on her face.

her short red hair in a bowl-cut not combed at all. her purple eyes covered partially by her hair running till her nose, 

anger and love towards her parents wells up inside her...

Her feelings, making her break and not being able to understand what to do anymore.

when she remembers a very affectionate memory of hers.

.........

"Momma~*whining sounds* dada  *hick* hurt me..*hick*"

*crying noise*

"what did dada do~?" A woman with black hair and purple eyes in her mid twenties her long hair reaching below shoulders said in a calming tone while crouching down and hugging her daughter lightly.

"he said-*sob*he told me he can't play with me!*crying sounds* "

"Maki..." the little girl stopped crying as she heard her mom call her name with a hand slowly reaching out to pick her up. 

She picked Maki up and put Maki in her lap while wrapping her arms around Maki's stomach softly as she patted her chest.

"did your dad's words hurt you,?" 

"yes..., he is such a meanie..."

"your dada always plays with you right?"

"he ... does, but. then why did he say he can't play with me.."

"he gave you lots of pain, huh?!" she said trying to make Maki laugh while making her hands move in a rhythm 

"Yeah! lots!" Maki released her anger while shouting lots for quite a few more times....

"yeah I know,"

"you do? Momma?"

"yes.. But Maki please don't hate your dada for that.."

"I hate him... but I'll forgive him...If he plays with me tomorrow!"

"Maki, you see when people who love you like dada end up hurting you, Might mean they they are hurt too."

"... so they have lots of pain too?..."

"yep"

"Momma.. what made dada get hurt then?"

"well...your grandma left him ..."

"like, how dada leaves me to school?" she had an innocent tone

"No. she went to heaven, so she can never meet him or anyone again."

"... daddy must be hurt much more than me then, right Momma?"

"so can you forgive dada now?"

"yep, he is also hurt, so its okay" Maki had a dazzling smile with her face still red and puffy from having cried..

.............................

'I'm not going to hate you mom, dad.  I hope wherever you are you are happy...'  her quiver soon turned to a sad smile sorrow still present in her purple watery eyes,

"If they divorced... that must mean they hurt each-other right?..., so they were hurt.... they ended up hurting me" her lower lip quivered her face on the verge on bursting out 

"haa*heavy breathing*...haaah"

her head became dizzy  with her eyes starting to close.

"Maki?, why are you still here? come we are going."

"Maki...? "

"grandma?.... " the sound she was hearing became low suddenly....

*thud* 

"Maki! get yourself together. I'm calling the...."

*******************************************************

after 6 hours~

*whoosh* a soothing breeze blew through the window near Maki's face 

"hmummm,...... hmum?"

*clears throat* her face turned embarrassed, when she blurted out something weird...

"where.... oh, I fell.."

"Huh!, grandma?....I'm sorry for not coming with you sooner.."

"It's okay.. Lets get to home when you're rested up." she said with a smile

"yeah!" she had a cheerful smile, the red tint of her crying still on her face..

****************************************************************************

back to present~

Maki was watering some flowers in her yard...

"huh?... a black cat?"

*meow r!*

"what troubles you Ms. Neko?" she put a hand on its back caressing the cat.

"meow.."

"see you Ms. Neko!"

the cat went back while taking peeks at Maki before leaving.

'Miyamura is pretty hurt too... the way he acts' her face soon had a worried expression.

"I hope I can help him."

".....as a friend...."  her face suddenly turned emotionless with misery in her eyes.

"MAKI, HANAKO SAN IS HERE..."

"YES, GRANDMA..."

.................

"Sorry for making you wait Hanako san, ."

"Its no big deal Maki san..."

"thank you for coming by and helping me with the studies... I really wouldn't be able to do this without your help Hanako san" there could be seen a clear tint of gratitude in Maki's purple eyes.

"well.. who would help you if not your friends!" Hanako said while patting her puffed up chest which was , unluckily for Hanako flat.

<A N: sorry Hanako san>
