Chapter 3 third chapter

Akiba watched as Hiroko sat on her favorite stool.He was finishing his work, and she just stared blankly into space.They are in Mao's workshop.It is here that he makes glassware, which he sells to the leading art workshops. "How was the ceremony that day?" Mao inquired. "Very good." Hiroko was still in her own world. Finally, she turned her face to look at Mao: "Have you ever, um...have you ever received a letter from someone, and didn't expect him to send you a letter?" "What did he say?" "After the ceremony, I went to Ashu's home and took the address they had before they moved to Kobe. Mrs. Fujii said that their old house had been demolished and a new highway was built. That night, I wrote a letter to Ashu. His old address."

"What are you??!" Mao woke up immediately: "Why?" "I received a reply." Hiroko showed the letter. "Let me read!" Mao opened the letter and read it carefully. Hiroko, I'm fine, thank you.Just a little cold. A tree Mao paused after reading. "Ashu replied to you from the kingdom of heaven?" He couldn't help laughing. Hiroko shrugged: "I...I don't know. Or..." "What's wrong with you? Do you still miss Ashu? It's been so long." Hiroko tried to avoid his gaze. "What's the matter? What about our relationship?" Mao wanted to know.He wrapped his arms around Hiroko and kissed her tightly.On this cold winter night, the factory looks even warmer.
