Chapter 3:

The Orphanage

Love's Fragile Pulse


I finally know her name... Haruka. She is so stunning and beautiful also her voice is amazing, even if I didn't hear her for long it was still amazing. Oh, I have been staying here for the past 20 minutes, isn't it time for us to come out? Let me text Karu and find out. Wait, what did I save his number as again? Is it this? Or this? Ah, someone just texted me who is it? Its Karu, it's finally time to come out.. and why did he send me this picture of him and Nick with those funny faces? I chuckled and looked at what I saved him as "Trouble 1" Huh? I saved him as that haha.


I went in to meet up with them immediately I got the text from Karu. When I went in I saw the two of them talking together, but it looks like they're talking to one more person maybe it's Ms. Aria, the head of the orphanage, that's what I thought until Nick moved to look at me and I saw her, Haruka and she was laughing with them. Then she saw me and her expression changed to a soft smile, well that's kinda expected because she saw my state in the hospital, so she's probably happy to see that I'm in better health.

"Oh, Hiro there you are" Nick said happily.

"This is Haruka, she also come here to play with the orphans, but this is the first time she's here when we're also here" Karu said to me.

"Hi, Hiroshi. I'm happy to see that you're better" She said with a soft and relaxed tone.

"Thank you, and nice to meet you Haruka" I replied with a soft tone too.

I had a feeling that's the reason she had such a soft smile, but I didn't know that was the actual reason.

"Yeah, nice to meet you too Hiroshi" She replied while walking towards me. Then she whispered in my ear "But this isn't the first time we've met"

I was shocked when I heard that, I knew her before the accident? How? What was our relationship? How could I forget her-

"Boys, you can see them now" Ms. Aria told us as she interrupted my thoughts.


When we went out, we were immediately surrounded by the orphans, especially me. It seemed like they missed me the most, I heard the same question multiple times "Hiroshi I hope you feel better now" which felt nice to me because the orphans really cared about me. It was kinda too much for me so I went outside for some air and a break, that's when an boy in a blue top came to me and said "Do you remember me?" with an introverted tone. Before I could answer another little voice came from the same direction.

"Of course he remembers, he's Hiroshi he can't forget us" A girl in an orange top said with a smirk face. "You remember Yua right Hiroshi?" she asked while holding out a small teddy bear.


"Yua.." And at that moment I suddenly remembered her after seeing the stuffed bear.

"Yeah I remember you, and you're Nino right?"

The boy had a big smile on his face when I mentioned his name and responded "Mhm!"

"So how was your stay at the hospital" Yua asked while sitting beside me. "Also I hope you're fine" she said.

"Yeah I'm good thanks for asking Yua" I replied.

"You're welcome, I'm just happy you're okay" She said. "We were all worried about you especially Haruka, she barely did anything but visited you everyday. She always left school early just to check up on you. We we're so happy when she told us you were out of the coma." She told me with a calm voice.

"Yeah we were, I even saw Yua cry" Nino said in a relaxed voice.

"HUH? YUA DIDN'T CRY! YUA NEVER CRIES! HMPH" She replied like a tsundere.

I had a good chuckle from that.

"ARE YOU LAUGHING?" She asked angrily.

"I'm sorry it's too funny not to" I replied while trying to hold back my laughter.

"ARGH I'M GOING TO BEAT YOU!" She angrily said and was really about to hit me with her small hands. Before she could hit me I heard Haruka's voice.

"That's alright Yua, Hiroshi is still recovering" She said while lifting Yua.

"HEY LEAVE YUA ALONE! YUA IS NOT A BABY!" Yua shouted angrily.

"No you should leave Hiro alone. Can you please do that?" Haruka asked with a soft tone.

"Yeah Yua let's go" Nino added.

"Hmph! Fine follow me Nino" Yua replied.

As they were walking inside, Yua gave me a very angry look. Haruka sat beside me and I felt so relaxed.

"She is still fiesty as usual" Haruka said.

"I think she's out for me now" I replied.

Haruka laughed. "Nah don't worry about it, she will probably forget about it"

"Oh okay that's good" I replied while sighing.

"So what're going to do now that you're discharged?" She asked gently.

"Hmm, I would continue going to school and basically get my life back on track" I replied.

"Oh, that's good. You can have lessons with me if you'd like that" She said while having a big smile on her face.

"Sure, I appreciate it" I said.


Before we knew it, it had already been late in the evening and we had to go home. Ms. Aria and the orphans thanked us for coming, Haruka went opposite the way we were going to back home. Karu walked Nick and I home and left on his own, and like that the day was over. I talked to my mom and Yuki about my day, they were happy I had a good day and by 'they' I meant my mom, Yuki couldn't care less about it. Now I'm really excited to go back to school, so Haruka can give me lessons I wonder how it's going to be.
