(Chapter 1)

Date: December 20, 2011

Thank you Lord for this day! It was really awesome to have such good friends and nice job. Love them very much! XOXO

---Alex

She wrote in her diary before she sleeps. It is a tiring day for her because she had a party with her friends. She dance all night and get drunk until the party was over.

She's just two years living in Tokyo because of her work as editor in publishing company. She's not Japanese but also an Asian. She's a Filipino and an English teacher too in Japan. She has everything she had, except to her family. She was alone five years ago because of the car accident. She lose contact to her sister who runaway because of her boyfriend. But still she was very happy because she doesn’t feel alone. She forgot to unplug the flat iron after she ironed her clothes. Unexpectedly, it started the fire because of the piece of cloth hanging beside it. The fire started to disseminate around her apartment. She's sleeping well and couldn't notice the heat inside. The alarm of the apartment started to ring and the neighbors knocking her door panicking because she could die anytime because of suffocation.

She woke up panicking because the smoke is covering the whole place but it's too late to save her things inside instead she ran outside for her own sake. Someone called to a fire station but it was too late. Her all apartment was burned and her things were ash. Nothing left but herself.

"You have so much trouble in this apartment." The owner said. She just bowed and walked around the street barefooted with her plain black shirt and pants. She has owed a lot to the owner of the apartment. She couldn't pay it until she finds a job which is impossible right now. She lost all her documents and money like a beggar.

It was too cold to stay outside like now because it's snowing. She doesn't know what will happen to her right now. She found a place to stay and it was under the bridge. She cried a lot while hugging her knees to protect her body from coldness.

"What just happened to me right now?" She breathes deeply as she cries again all through the night. There's no place like home to relax and sleep for her. She has hangover because she drank too much earlier and the things just happened.

"Ugh, my head hurts." She said and put her arms on her head while her knees still close. She's just watching the snow dropping in the whole place and also to her face while looking at the sky. It was very sad. She thought that it's her final day living on earth. She wished that she could die happy but now it will end miserable. She thanks God for all her blessings she received and also for her life. She prayed to take her life now and kill her. She leaned on the wall and rested her head for a while and fell asleep.

"You don't belong here." Out of the blue the guy saw her sleeping under. He took off his jacket and covered it to her and back to his car again. Before he started his engine he looked once again to the poor girl in his side mirror. He's not emotional enough to pity the girl but there's something that he could not let the girl be alone in the dark.

"Yes? Tomorrow we will have a meeting." The guy said on his phone while looking to the girl. He started the engine and drive slowly because of the thick snow on the road. He glance to the girl once again but unexpectedly his eyes widened. The girl collapsed and he saw some bruises on her body. He turned off the engine and hurriedly went to the girl and carried her. He forgot to bring his jacket because his concern now is the girl. He lay down Alex in the passenger seat and covers her of one of his favorite shirt and drive to the hospital.

They arrived at the hospital. 2am in the morning is what he saw in the clock. Alex was in the emergency room to give her oxygen and bring back her life. After 30 minutes, Alex was in room 169 for her recovery. The doctor suggested to have a rest for a while and don't overwork herself.

The guy entered the room and she saw Alex was sleeping peacefully. He thought the girl was beautiful and she really was. He caresses her hair and holds her hand for a while.

"Let me take care of you." He whispered and sat beside Alex. The guy misses his ex-girlfriend that she really looks like. It was coincidence to meet a girl who resembles her girlfriend who passed away. It's been years when he started to be alone. They always say that he was a gay but he was really not. It was just really hard for him to love again because he was hurt so much.

He pity Alex that much until he felt that he wants to take care of her. This guy was a famous actor in Japan. He just finished shooting his new movie before he went to the bridge to relax. He can't relax when its morning so he decided to drove in the midnight. Even in hospital he's still wearing cap and sunglasses for her protection as an actor. There are a lot of fans that might catch him.

Sunday morning, he fell asleep beside Alex while he’s holding her hand. Alex caught him with that awkward position. She didn't even know the guy but she secretly smiled at him. Suddenly, the guy noticed her.

"Good morning, how do you feel?" He said while scratching his head and let go of her hand.

"I'm fine. Thank you and you are?" She asked.

"I'm Alex Takashima and you?" He said with his gentlest voice she have ever heard.

"Alex Delos Reyes desu." She smiled because they accidentally have the same name.

"I’m glad that you are fine now. Let me ask some question, why are you there? I mean under the bridge." He said and removed his glasses. Alex was quite shocked because she knew the actor. She thought that they just have the same name but now it was really the famous actor in Japan. He's Half American that's why he really looks gorgeous and handsome than other guy. His faired-white skin, slightly small eyes and soft natural pink lips that make her mouth opened. Back to reality, after she was amazed.

"Uhm… my house was burned because of the fire accident and I have nothing but myself. I mean I don't have money, phone and my things burnt to ashes in just one snap." She cried again. Her tears were flowing continuously in her cheeks.

"Don't cry. I'll help you." He said and offers a hanky.

"Thanks Takashima-san." She said while looking at Alex.

"You have a great smile Ms. Delos Reyes. So you better show that."

(Chapter 2)

"Where are we going?" She asked while they were in the car. Silence remains between them until they reached Takashima's house. Well it's quite big and nearly place in the beach with a small garden outside. The house was customized and bought by him. He wanted to be alone and peaceful life that's why it's quite far in the city. But… Takashima wants a change,

"I told you I'll help you, right?" He said and help her to unbuckle her seatbelt.

"You can stay in my house for a while for your safety." He smiled and her world stops for a while and she remained silent. She was mesmerized by his looks and being kind to her. Her heartbeat is faster than normal that she doesn't know how to explain. She doesn’t know what to do but to follow Alex.

"But…I don't know if it's right or not. We are both strangers right?" She breathes deeply.

"There's nothing wrong of helping, isn't it? Well if you would mind that, it's better to know each other, isn't it?" He smirked and opened the door.

"I'm pleased to meet you Alex-chan." He said awkwardly because it looks like he's talking to himself.

"Eh? Stop being childish it's not funny." She said but she laughed. "Well me too. I'm so thankful." She quickly said then smiled.

Takashima is hoping for new beginning for his happiness and for love? They easily get along as if they knew each other for a long time.

"Here are some clothes for you. Better have a shower." He said and gave a plain shirt and shorts.

"Oh, thanks! I'm just curious if it's your girlfriend's clothes?" She said while holding it.

"Nah, it was my sister's clothes. I don't have a girlfriend anyway. Go get a shower, I'll be the next." He seriously said. She bowed and walked away. Takashima feels alone again because he remembered his ex-girlfriend.

They both had a rest for dark long night. Alex used his sister's room for a while and Takashima was in his room alone. Living under the same roof with one of the famous young actor in Japan is called fate. She seems not to believe in true love but she thinks there is someone will help her to love again.

Tomorrow morning, they had breakfast together and she helps to clean the house while Takashima was busy reading his script for his new movie. She doesn’t want to bore herself so she asked Takashima to clean the house. She owed everything to him that's why even if it's a little help for him she wanted to do it.

"Thanks for the help Alex-chan. I'll be back. So see you later?" He smiled.

"Yes. Take care!" She said while holding the mop with her cute outfit.

Takashima went to the studio and had a shooting for the movie. He called Alex when he got a break time. "Hey, what's for dinner?" He said nonchalantly with his calm sweet voice.

"Uhm, what do you want for dinner?" She answered thru the phone.

"You…"

"Eh?"

"You. What do you want for dinner?" He said again.

10 o'clock in the evening and he was late for dinner but Alex is still waiting for him to come back. He's quite shocked when he saw Alex sleeping in the couch with her curl position.

"Oi, wake up? Have you had a dinner?" He whispered. Alex suddenly wake up and brushed her hair.

"Oh… you're here." She sleepy said. He swept her bangs to makes him see her face.

"Thanks for patiently waiting for me. So let's have a dinner together?" He held her hands to help her stand up.

They had dinner together and get to know each other for the whole day until they fall asleep. It's been a month since Alex stayed at his house. They had celebrate Christmas and New year together that seems so new to Takashima. They are hoping for the New Year blessings for each other. They have a good time together and sometimes Takashima brought her in shooting for the movie. He had issue for having a live-in partner that the company makes it private for the actor. Everyone knows that Alex was just a friend to Takashima-san that's why his manager asked him not to fall in love to the girl or maybe he can get Alex to move from another apartment but he doesn't want to.

Sunday morning.

"Let's go somewhere." He interrupts Alex while she's cleaning the bookshelves.

"Where? But I have to finish this." She answered while she was on the top of the ladder wiping the shelf.

"Disneyland?" He asked.

"Okay! After this.. So excited!" The books dropped to the floor. She's excited that couldn't contain her feels. It's her first time to go there in Disneyland.

"Be careful!"

"Yah I know!" Accidentally she fell in the ladder.

"Oopsss." Whereas Alex carrying her. He devilishly smiled at her and hurriedly carried her in the bedroom.

"Oi!! What are you doing?!" She said while slapping the shoulder of Alex.

"Don't mess with me. Daisuki. I like you." He lie Alex down in his bed. He pressed his nose to Alex. She's not moving and even breathes. She thought that it was just a dream but now is reality. She didn't expect that they have the same feelings. She adored Alex that much more than anyone in this world. She knew that someday she will fall in love with the guy but unexpectedly he confessed his feelings towards her.

"I like you more than you do." She answered.

"So it's mutual?" He smiled sweetly and gave her a sweet kisses on her forehead.

"Get dress let's go." He stood up with the awkward position and offered his hand to Alex.

They went to Disneyland but they have just a limited attraction they can ride on because of the Actor. Fans are everywhere and he didn't even concentrate to each other. He holds Alex hand while they were sitting on the bench watching the sunset together. He removed his glasses for a while.

"Wear that. It's for your protection." Alex said and Takashima leaned on her shoulder.

"You are my home. I feel so protected. Thank you." Takashima said with his calm sad voice she had ever heard.

Remembering Sunday

(Chapter 3)

"Have you ever loved me baby?" He said while looking at Alex into her soul with his hazel brown eyes. He breathes deeply and seems like he's going to cry anytime. The atmosphere is getting sadder when he holds her hand as if he's begging for her love.

"Takashima-san.. Enough." Alex said with her teary eyes.

"Oi! What happened! I told you to read the next line right?" He'd panicked and wipes her tears.

"I can't… I don't know." She cried again and closes her eyes with her palms.

"Stop being cute Alex… I know the movie is kind a tragic. Don't worry it won't happen." He hugged her tightly and she feels his kisses on her hair. That's so sweet of Takashima. He doesn’t want to see his girl crying.

Next scene:

It was the last day of his beloved who will be brought to its grave. Due to the painful sadness his heart he was feeling, his eyes wouldn't unveil even a single tear. He slowly walked towards his beloved's grave after she was buried and touched the cold pavement with her name engraved on it.

Protagonist (Ryu): Have you ever loved me baby? (With teary eyes while talking to her grave)

Protagonist (Ryu): I will see you soon babe… Wait for me.

Girl: Ryu, let us leave. (Puts hand on Ryu's shoulder)

End of Scene 75

"Hey what happened to you? I thought you'll help me." He smirked and swept her hair while Alex was in between of Takashima.

"Sorry, I couldn't help. You know I'm a writer so maybe I'm just carried away. That was awesome." She shyly said.

"Yeah I know. It's okay! I'm glad that you like it. Let's go somewhere?" He said while firmly hugging Alex while they are cheek to cheek.

"Yeah sure! Wherever you want dear." She said and gave him a soft kiss in his cheek.

Shopping at the Mall…

"Is that Alex Takashima? He's so hot!" The girl said with her friend seems that they knew him.

"Oh my gosh! It's really him! Let's have an autograph!" They'd panicked but it was too late. They lose Alex in their sights.

"That was really close. Phew…" He said while holding Alex's hand.

"I told you to wear your eyeglasses or your hood! Or even cap." She scolded.

"It's okay don't worry I'll be fine…" He gently smiles while looking at Alex.

"Why do you always have a gentle look in your face when you look at me back?" She asked unconsciously.

"I mean…there's no reason to smile like an idiot." She said quickly. He puts his arm on her waist and started to walk.

"Because I loved being with you… closer like this." He pulled Alex closer to him like inches away. He almost kissed Alex but he doesn't. They had never a kiss before like other couples do. He respects Alex that much like she did to his mother and sister.

Another month had passed. Takashima seems so busy with his work while Alex was working at home through internet. She became a writer online and got paid when the novel is going to publish. They missed each other especially when Takashima is not always at home because of work.

Takashima's day off yet he's not home. It's already dinner.

"Can I buy roses?" He asked the vendor.

"Yes still available for only 2000 yen." The old man said.

“Thanks. Here." He gave the money and holds the bouquet.

"The best thing you will give her this Valentine is your love." The guy said to him before he left the store. He just smiled secretly and called Alex thru the phone.

"Hello babe, I can't celebrate Valentines with you today… I'm busy." He said while holding his feeling.

"Okay babe… I love you." She melancholy said.

"I love you more…" And he turned off his phone. Unexpectedly he was just in front of the house. Waiting for Alex to come outside but it seems that it's impossible because of what he said.

He has the keys of the house so that he opened the door slowly and went inside without making a noise.

She saw Alex was just in front of the computer and typing with her novel. It seems very sad and not in the mood. He hides the flowers at his back and walk slowly to Alex. She was surprised and started to have tears in her eyes. She's just looking at him and don't say anything. She was speechless. Her boyfriend wants surprises.

"Happy Valentines Babe.. I love you." He sweetly said and give the flowers to Alex. She just froze to her position and slowly stand up then hugged Takashima tightly. She's very happy and couldn't explain her feelings. She's crying in his chest while Takashima still holding the flowers but he's hugging back too.

"Thank you." Alex said while she's cupping his face. She aims for a kiss of Alex in her lips. They just looked at each other and Takashima start the move. He unconsciously released the roses in his hand and gently kissed Alex on her lips. It was so soft and tender kiss she ever had. She kisses him back and getting wilder. The atmosphere is getting hotter. They really missed together for almost a month hasn’t seen each other.

They have a wonderful night when they decided to sleep together in Takashima's room. For the first time in her life Alex felt the gentlest pain she had experienced. They did together the thing that only for married couple.

Tomorrow morning….

"Oi, wake up." He said while pointing Alex's nose. She suddenly woke up but she covered herself with blanket.

"I've prepared the breakfast dear." He gently said with his smile on his lips.

"I'm so shy to get out now." She shyly said whiles still covering her.

He laughed, "Don't be shy. You don't have to. Come on you need some energy."

"Give me back my clothes" She pouts and Alex gave her a towel and clothes.

"I'm sorry for taking your ….. You know." He bowed.

"Please forger it! I'm glad that it was you to be my first." She blushed and still covering in blanket.

"No I won't forget it! Hehehe I loved it." He secretly smiles like idiot.

"No please! It's embarrassing!" She laughed.

Alex just hugged her tightly and gave her a kiss on her cheeks. That was so sweet to both of them. They had breakfast together in Sunday morning and celebrate the Valentines together for the whole day.

That night we promised to be together and forever. We will never get separated until death. We become one. She's my safest place like heaven. I really loved this girl God. Thanks for having her.

(Chapter 4)

Sunday morning…

"So you want a reviewer babe?" Alex asked him.

"Yes… because I'm going to take an exam to a University. Its kind a weird that after all this time I still want to study." He explained.

"Okay later? Let's review. Maybe we can buy a book for you." She said while she rested her chin on her palm.

"Don't worry I will study hard if you were my teacher." He winked at Alex but she just gave her a strange look.

"Are you really going to quit your showbiz life? You're still young my dear.." She worried. Alex wrapped his arms around Alex.

"It's better if our future children will be proud to their daddy. Their daddy would be a professor soon." He smiled proudly as if he will be a professor tomorrow.

"I liked that being your futuristic. Looking forward to see your diploma and medals babe.." She smiled back.

They went to the Bookstore and look for some books he will need for his study. He's quite excited because the exam held next month. He has a lot of time because the shooting was over and the movie will show next month too.

"What subject do you pursue to study?" She asked while looking at the books.

"Well, I prefer to study English. Anyway, I want to be an English teacher soon." He answered.

"Oh I see well it's great! You can easily understand English than other Japanese actor maybe that's why you're famous." She teased with her tongue out.

He frowns then laughed, "Whatever! You know how great I am."

They are going to pay a lot of books over the counter. They picked some English and Japanese novels too to read together and reviewer for exam and dictionary for him. He has eager to pass the exam because he has Alex as his inspiration.

"Let's have dinner in my favorite restaurant." Alex asked her.

"Sure, your call." She smiled.

They brought the books inside the car and they just walked together into the Restaurant. They enjoyed each other looking at the attraction around Tokyo with their holding hands. Takashima was covered with cap and shades with his thick jacket while Alex was simply wearing jacket too and jeans. It was really hard for her to be proud of his boyfriend. That's why they had only just secretly dates with all cover to his body to protect him to his fans.

"Oh we're home. So let's study?" She sleepy said. It was a tiring day for both of them even Takashima doesn't know if he can still study. Alex hugged Alex behind her while his chin rested to her shoulder.

"Let's sleep together?" He whispered.

"Okay but before that I have a favor." She faced Alex and put her arms around his neck.

"Sure anything you want."

"Let's read one fairy tale for tonight. I mean every night before sleeping. It's good for refreshing our mind." She smiled and gave Alex a kiss on his cheek.

"Okay little mermaid for tonight." Kiss Alex back in her cheek.

They decided to watch one English movie per day too. They'd watched Titanic and after that they put the books on the shelves. Takashima picked the "Little Mermaid" and Alex prepared milk for them. They went to the room and started to read the book.

"Far, far from land, where the waters are as blue as the petals of the cornflower and as clear as glass, there, where no anchor can reach the bottom, live the mer-people." He has hardly time to read some words and understand. He's still on process for reading some words.

"Dictionary?" She offered the pocket dictionary while drinking the milk.

"No I can do it! 15 pages more!" He said and continuing his reading.

"The mermaids were allowed in play to the great hall of castle…." He loudly says.

"Oi, don't sleep." He tapped Alex.

"No, I won't!" She said and leaned on Alex's shoulder.

"Okay next… Why do I not have an immortal soul! Sighed the little mermaid unhappily. "I would give all my three hundred years of life for only one day as a human being if, afterward, I should be allowed to live in the heavenly world."

"Sacrifice huh?" She suddenly talked.

"Yes babe. So you still listen huh?" He kissed her hair.

"Yes.. I would like to listen to your sweet voice." She said.

After 1 hour Alex has almost finish the story…

"Mermaids have no immortal soul and can never have one, unless they can obtain the love of a human being. Their chance of obtaining eternal life depends upon others."

"What?! She died and become a daughter of air? How about his prince? …uhm sad." He commented after he read the story. What a weird guy he is.

"Opps sorry. My girl is already sleeping." He puts down the book on the side table.

He turned off the lamp shade. He wrapped his arms around her. He let her arm rest around his tummy. They sleep together all thru the night. They set their dreams and plans in the future as one. No one could tell what will happen to their future but they just know one thing, no one could separate their will and love.

His movie premiere night. Remembering Sunday.

"Let us hear Mr. Takashima to his wonderful messages for his new film." The host and give the honor to Alex. Alex was just watching him with the crowd of people around the cinema.

"Good day! First of I would like to thank the God above to give me strength and for the people around who's hardworking. Especially to the girl who's always be there for me. She always inspires me. For my fans who always give their best to support me. Thank you so much. I hope you enjoy the movie." He said heartily while looking at Alex.

"Do your best babe!" She whispered to herself. The people around were clapping with smiles on their lips.

"Thank you so much for attending our premiere night. Please enjoy." He bowed and waved his hand. Also his co-actresses and actors are giving their best smile to the people.

"Takashima-san you're so humble! Please marry me!" The girl shouted. They really loved my pretty boy.

"Let's start the movie. Please enjoy!" The host said.

The lights suddenly turned off and the people become silent. The movie started with a song. It was full of happy moments at first but it seems so tragic. There are some people who cried that time. The movie is so heart-melting and very sad.

"Ryu-san , you are locked to me forever. Just in case if I die now, I will see you soon right? You won't forget…. Please don't." The girl said in the movie while she's holding his hand.

"You're so selfish… you don't even ask my feeling, do you?"

The girl died at the very same day he says that he loves the girl so much. The girl was sick and can't cure by any medication. The movie was ended so tragic. Lot of people inside the cinema is crying even Alex.

"Hey where are you? See you at parking lot, okay?" Takashima gave her a voicemail. She's inside the wash room to fix herself because she'd cry a lot.

At the parking lot.

"Oi, you're late." He said while playing the keys in his hand.

"You're so awesome babe. Congratulation!" She hugged Alex.

"Where's my prize?" He smirked.

"Here." She gave kisses on his cheek.

"Thank you babe. Maybe we can talk that later." He teased.

Remembering Sunday

(Chapter 5)

He had passed the examination in the University. He promised that after he'd passed he’s going to propose to Alex. He's very happy because after all sleepless night together with his Alex he did it well. He almost perfect the exam and did get the top 10 on the list.

"Have you passed the exam babe?" Alex got a message.

"What if yes? :))" He replied.

"Then let's celebrate? :))"

"No, I have something for you dear. Get dress and see you at the place where I first saw you. :) Later babe." He answered.

He's planning to quit the showbiz life soon. He wants a normal life with his girl and study in University. He's not afraid to be forgotten but he's afraid to lose his love ones.

Jewelry store

"Sir may I help you?" The sales lady said.

"Sure can I have a perfect engagement ring here?" He said.

"Here sir. It's very unique than others. If you could see the small stone.. It has a small infinite shape inside the diamond. Well it's customized that why we can't say that it was pure diamond but it's something special." She explained.

"Sure, I'll get it. I liked it thou." He said.

Takashima prepared the whole under of the bridge with a dinner set-up with balloons all over the place and roses in the floor. The candles that is set up like "Will you marry me?" The whole place was so romantic. It's the girls’ dreams to have before they marry. Alex is surely lucky to him.

"Please become Alex Takashima. We are one now." He practiced his line until he perfect it. He started to become nervous and sweat his hands. Even that it's not his first time to propose but the past is not hindrance to him anymore. He forgot and forgives like other people do.

"Babe I'm waiting. See you." He text Alex. He was now alone and waiting Alex to come there.

"I'm on my way babe. See you…" She replied. He started to become nervous again and his heartbeat is faster than its normal rate.

"I know, I'm not able to say to you how much I've loved you but I promised that I won't hurt you… Please be with me. Ugh I can't… I'm so nervous. Why is such short line makes me forget and even anxious." He talked to himself.

There's a classical music in the background that plays but it's getting late and Alex is still not there. The candle lights are getting shorter and lose their lights. The flowers become dry and the musicians get tired of waiting for nothing. He wanted to cry that time but he's still waiting. He wanted to go home but he believes that Alex will come. He called Alex but she was out of coverage. He feels anxiety that Alex might in trouble or what. He don't want to believe his thoughts because it's getting terrible.

"Alex please where are you?" He dryly said.

The other stuffs he had rented were sending their goodbyes to him. He feels so terrible and mad that time. He thought that Alex won't break her promise but he started to believe that she's lying.

Alex is calling…..

"Is this her husband?" A girl voice talks to the line.

"Yes.." He unhappy said.

"Your wife is dead exactly 7 pm. She's now here in Tokyo Hospital. Condolence." The called ended.

He started to run and went to his car. He's crying… he can't stop crying because it was his second time to encounter such like this. He cries a lot inside his car. He couldn't even see the rode clearly because of his tears. His tears can't back the time they have been together.

10 pm at the hospital….

"Alex delos Reyes please." He talked to the nurse with his red eyes.

"Come here please.."

They went to the morgue and he saw Alex's corpse. In the document he had received Alex has heart attack. She inherits in to her mother but even Alex doesn't know about it. It was all of the sudden. The girl whom he loved was lost now. He cried all night in the front of Alex corpse. When he wakes up, he's still inside the morgue. He guarded Alex for the whole night. It was so sad for him and he doesn't know if he could still live after that. He really loved Alex that much more than anything in this world. He remembered all the Sundays they have been together happily.

He went home after the day he sent Alex to her final place. To her grave yard. He cried all night because without Alex he was nothing.

I'm not coming back. I've done something so terrible

I'm terrified to speak but you'd expect that from me

I'm mixed up, I'll be blunt

Now the rain is just washing you out of my hair

And out of my mind, keeping an eye on the world

So many thousands of feet off the ground

I'm over you now, I'm at home in the clouds

Towering over your head

After 5 years he graduated with the degree of an English teacher with a special award as a most hardworking student of all time. He continued his life without Alex because he believed that Alex will stay with him like a daughters of air. Alex is everywhere even his air breathing was came from Alex.

"Hey babe see you! We must love one another or die. I’ve read it on the internet." the 5 years text message that came from Alex but couldn't reach him.

Until the end, Takashima still love Alex for the whole time. He always visited Alex grave and gave some flowers so that he won't forget.

(Epilogue)

10 years after

"Class, I want to ask something…" Takashima said. He's getting older yet he didn't get married to other girls. He believed that someday he will see Alex again. Waiting for him to cover her from coldness and give love again.

"Sure sir.." His class said. Alex was their favorite teacher because they got a lot of lessons and inspirational messages after the class.

"Okay this is for the boys only, it is situational. If you saw a stray cat in the street with a winter season and it seems so cold and the cat needs help. What will you do?" He said.

Someone raises his hand,

"Yes Alex? What will you do to a cat?"

"Uhm sir first of all if the cat really needs some help of course I'll help her but if the cat could find her place then I will not pity her." He said seriously and sat.

"Seems that you are talking to a female cat huh? Okay other hand please." He smiled.

"Alex can't feel other feelings sir that's why he said that." The girl said who's sitting beside the boy.

"Alex, don't judge Alex because who know even he feels that he wills toll help that poor cat." He smiled. The whole class laughs because they have the same name yet the girl whose name Alex has a crush to his classmate whose name is Alex.

"Okay class dismissed! Enjoy your weekend."

"This is how I celebrate my weekend dear." He said and putting down the flowers on its tomb. The wind blows and touched his face as if Alex is still there forever.
