Haruma returned the smile and shook her hand, "We were already friends." he replied.
Maintaining her smile Rukia asked, "So as a friend, when and where can I see you again? since you won't be here for the next whole year."
Haruma with his smile in place replied, "You can accompany Masaru when he comes to visit me."
Rukia gave a nod and said, "Alright then, let's meet again soon."
Both exchanging smiles, hands still clasped in a slow gentle shake.
Separating their hands, Haruma said, "Alright bye, and I'll take Masaru with me, I'll drop him off at his house."
Without saying a word Rukia gave her nod a warm smile playing on her face.
Haruma returned the nod and turned walking towards Masaru.
Making Masaru stand, he placed Masaru's arm around his shoulder, supporting him to stand. He began walking towards the exit, waving at Rukia.
Rukia waved back at her watching him leave with a big, warm smile...
