Halle has a café running now. With her sick mom, she has to work extra hard for a successful operation. After 5 years she was able to put back her tragic past and move forward focussing on her mother and the café. With two of her friends' help she's been progressing through her life alone. Now that things were going well there is a new problem. The person who ruined her name and brought chaos into her life is back in her life. And he's coming back for revenge. Will she be able to handle it and take care of her mom?

Will you leave me alone? I don't have time for you anymore!

            "It's fine." Arien looked her up and down. "You dressed up for the evening."


            "She wouldn't have let me out if I hadn't." she said grumpily.


            "Why are you grumpy? You look pretty."


            Arien turned to Yui. "What's your name?"


            "Thank you." She replied politely.


            Yui was a little . . . of course, Arien's new to her. It will take some time for her to get used to it.


            "Is your favourite color purple?"


            Yui eyeballed him before answering. "Yes . . ."


            "Don't be scared!" he apologized. "You wore all purple today. Light purple top, dark purple leggings. I'm not creepy."


            Yui smiled. "Yeah, I like purple." She said quietly and pointed to her hair clip. "This is purple too!"


            "Where do you want to go, Yui?" Halle asked.


            "Morning is the best time to go to an amusement park. You'll have an entire day to try out all the rides." explained Halle. "And we wouldn't want to tire Uncle Arien out right?"


            "Uncle?" Arien was surprised. "I'm not old enough to be called uncle."


            Halle turned to him completely serious. "How old are you?"


            "You're older than me and she calls me Aunt Halle." Halle said coolly.


            "It's still not fair!" said Arien and turned to Yui. "Yui, call me Arien."


            "Uncle Arien." Yui giggled.


            "You spoiled her." said Arien. "I feel old when you call me Uncle."


            "Don't care." said Halle. "Any other place you want to go?"


            Yui thought for a moment. "Shopping mall?"


            Halle looked at the time. "Sure, we can go there."


            "Yay!" Yui jumped up and down.


            Halle smiled. "You're okay with it right?"


            Arien opened the door to his car. Yui chose shotgun. Halle sat behind. Yui looked out the car window and stared at all the buildings and trees in awe. She sure loved car rides. Halle looked out the window herself and let the sun bask her face. It was so . . . peaceful. For a moment, she could forget all the current problems. Maybe she should bury all of them down and enjoy until this got over.
