Life is very short to be sad. Take a deep breath and just for a minute - even only for a second, smile. Not them but to yourself. Because you are alive.

Ever since that day, Miyuki continue to live the same as usual and never again hoping for something.
Either the fate playing game or God decided to throw the dice on whim, Miyuki just continue to live, as usual. Overlooked her parent's doting act on her little sister, overlooked the expectations around her, the pains, the burdens; everything. Just like in the past but without any feelings inside her.
Living a repeat life was simple but tiring.
That was until Miyuki met little Eli and Mitsui-san. When she decided to stop the driver, following what her heart want that time. At first, Miyuki just wanted to send the missing little girl back to the orphanage but after looking at Mitsui-san's old wise eyes, somehow Miyuki felt her own heart moved. It's probably the first time that someone truly see her true self.
As if her heart said that it was okay, Miyuki follow Mitsui-san to enjoy a tea and handmade biscuits and neglected her work for the first time.
That day was the first time she want to do something, unlike her usual self. Talking without any wary, laughing, eating; everything that she do make herself felt free.
The feeling of freedom that able Miyuki to truly see what's around her. From the glided caged herself made, perhaps to protect herself. But it's all wrong after all. She shouldn't trapped herself and neglect herself. This feeling may looked like a weakness to 'her' parent but this feeling is her strength for now on.

Miyuki stretch her arms up and her face looked relieve from any burden that she been holding all this time. She let out a big sigh but with a smiling face.
"You look happy now, Yuu-chan"
Mitsui-san saw Miyuki smiling happy face and couldn't help but to smile as well.
"Yes, Mitsui-san. Somehow my body felt a bit lighter, I think"
Miyuki replied as she jokingly throwing a few punches in the air. As Mitsui-san saw Miyuki childish act, she started to laugh softly.
"Yes, maybe"
When miyuki suddenly realized that she was acting a bit childish, she freeze for a moment and straighten herself and gave a few awkward cough. She then smile and sincerely said,
"Mitsui-san, thank you for everything"
But Mitsui-san suddenly making a serious face.
"Yuu-chan, it's no good"
Miyuki surprise by Mitsui-san serious face and strong voice. She herself couldn't help but felt a bit timid.
"W-what is, Mitsu-"
Miyuki was about to ask when Mitsui-san suddenly spoke.
"Yuu-chan, you not supposed to call me Mitsui-san again" Mitsui-san pouting as her old cheeks poof like a bunny.
"Eh?" Miyuki felt a bit dumbfounded. Due to Mitsui-san sudden declaration and her cute face that she making. Despite in a old age, Mitsui-san still maintain her skin and she looks like a old woman but also looks like a beautiful old woman. But seeing she making a pouting faces, somehow left Miyuki dumbstruck.
"Yuu-chan supposed to call me obaa-chan, right," Mitsui-san then making a wronged face, "I already thinking Yuu-chan as my granddaughter so Yuu-chan should call me Obaa-chan. Calling me with -san is no good"
Miyuki was speechless for a moment but then began laughing. Mitsui-san truly are an incredible person. Managed to make her felt the feeling that she never knew and suddenly make her wanted to cry again.
Miyuki gave a few more chuckles then she look Mitsui-san with happy eyes and smile as she softly said, "Obaa-chan"
As Mitsui-san heard Miyuki soft voice calling her obaa-chan, her old heart is truly happy. She came closer and slowly embracing Miyuki, who also hugging her back. Miyuki closed her eyes, immersed herself in the warmth for that moment and whispered a two words.
"Thank you"

Miyuki looked out from the car window. People passing by and a scenery that she overlooked all this time. Somehow her heart become more free that it felt a little ticklish.
Miyuki smile softly as she continue to see what she had missed out in all her past life.
Miyuki very focus on looking outside the car and never realized the look that the driver gave. The driver occasionally look back and felt that young miss a bit weird or more happy than her usual self.
Usually, young miss just sit at the back seat quietly and ignoring everything aside her work but now, somehow seem different. She was smiling and began to look outside as if like a child that fill with curiosity of the outside world.
But Miyuki felt the driver confused looks through the mirror a few minutes later and then questionly asked.
"Is there something wrong?"
"N_no.. Nothing, Young miss" The driver gave a cough and felt a bit guilty that young miss caught he looking at her. "Will you go home right now?"
"No"
Miyuki then continue to look outside as her face began to brighten more.
"It's been awhile. I want to visit grandma Regi"

Obaa-chan: Grandma
Mitsui is Japanese and Miyuki is half Japanese, that's why they call each other in Japanese language sometimes.
