Yumi and Hajime's mother's were good friends since elementary. Soon they were business partners and had families of their own. That's where Yumi and Hajime met, They were friends since day one.  

Years have passed and they were still good friends. It was now the last year of college. class ended for today and she approached Hajime 

"hey, sabi ni mama punta daw kayo with your mom doon sa bahay namin, it's been a long time since they talked, mag c-catch up lang daw sila"

"Sige. anong oras kami pupunta?

"Mga 6pm, para doon nalang kayo mag dinner"

"Okay sabihan ko si mama. anong pwedeng dalin bilang handa?

"Wag na, sabi ni mama sya na daw mag luluto"

"Ah, okay. see you mamaya, Yumi"

"see you Hajime!"

As hours passed it was finally 6pm. Yumi was helping her mom cook dinner. later, Hajime and his mom arrived at Yumi's house. his mom came down to the front door to meet them. as the doorbell rang, Yumi answered it.

"good evening Hajime, good evening po tita, pasok po kayo" 

she said as she welcomed them to her home.

"hi Yumi!, hi, tita! ang tagal na natin hindi nagkita ah"

he greeted Yumi's mom. he was surprised to see that Yumi was very close to her mother. they were more like best friends than just mother and daughter. they said their greetings and zarah's mom called for dinner. they sat down at the table. they were served a delicious beef stew with a basket of garlic bread. it even smelled like it was cooked by a professional chef. his mom was surprised by the delicious food prepared by Yumi's mom. Yumi was seated beside Hajime and their moms were sat beside each other. as their moms talked, she seemed bored with their topic as Hajime seem to also seemed bored. he turned to look at Yumi, then he whispered to her .

"uy, Yumi. anong pinag-uusapan nila? ang boring."

"di ko rin alam eh" 

As they finished diner Yumi's mom pulled out a large photobook 

"oh kayong dalawa, tingnan ninyo ito"

She took the photobook and scanned it.

"I think It's filled with baby pictures. let's go check it out"

As their mom's talked in the kitchen, they sat on the couch as she flipped through the pages. He looked at the photobook. Yumi and her mom were shown in many cute photos together. it was filled with photos of them hanging out together and photos of them hugging each other. it seemed that they were very loving towards each other. it seemed like Yumi's mom and her had an intimate relationship more than just like mother and daughter. she flipped to the next page and saw Hajime and her when they were kids. she laughs and looks at him 

"ikaw yan oh"

"oh, ikaw din!"

he laughs and blushed as he pointed to a photo where both he and Yumi sit on their  mother's lap and smile at the camera. they both looked cute in their matching pyjamas. they were many pictures of Hajime and her in the photobook

he saw another photo of both him and zarah standing face to face with their arms around each other's shoulder while their mom stood in the center. his face was very close to hers. it seemed that the three loved hugging together. she also saw that their eyes were looking at each other in the photo.

"close talaga tayo noon noh?" she smiled as she looked at the photos.

"close parin tayo". he chuckled. 

They saw a photo where they had a sleepover together and had matching pajamas. she smiled and sighed quietly 

"I miss our sleepovers"

"Same. i miss hugging you to sleep" he smiled at her. 

One hour has passed and their moms were done chatting it was time to go 

"Hajime, it's time to go na" his mom said.

"ay, sayang" he looked at Yumi with a sad and disappointed face. he wanted to spend more time with Yumi. 

"See you tomorrow Hajime"

"See you tomorrow, Yumi."
