Prom night
Now let me explain. I’m kinoshita haruna, 17 years old, 3rd year on namba high school. I’m currently single. I already broken with kadowaki kanako my ex. Well, me and kanako already dating for 3 years but our relation didn’t went out really good for this year. Every time we talk, it would only ended to quarrel. The quarrel would lasted for 1 or 2 weeks, sometimes it can lasted for 1 months. Next month is the last one month for school and last week is the last time for us to be together. Because we already broke up. Me and kanako never get a fight like this before not until last week. The day when I broke up with her one week ago.
Flashback
One week ago
In the rainy Saturday, I was waiting for kanako from the outside of her house. I rang the bell door for a numerous time now. Waiting 30 minutes from the outside of her house just for her to come out. 1 hours just for waiting kanako with the thought to went home as quick as I can, to prevent the cold approaching me. When I’m ready to go home, the sound of the door opened can be heard. Her melodic voice can be heard instantly, “haruna come in, I want to talk to you.” She said. “sure. Why not.” I answered.
Then the two of us enters kanako’s room. Her room was an ordinary room but with comfortable air between it. But the moment we enter kanako’s room the air became so heavy in an instant. Nobody can talk because of the awkward atmosphere and the heavy air with the silence covering us. But eventually kanako is the one who start the conversation. “I think we need to break up.” Kanako said.
The sentence that just come out from kanako’s mouth rung a few times inside my head. “w-wait…y-you must be kidding me.” Haruna said. “I’m serious.” Kanako retorted. “b-but, what’s the reason? I didn’t do any wrong thing to you.” i said. “I’m enough of this all. I’m having enough with the quarrel that we have. I don’t want to place all of the burden to you or me.” She explain. I only can sat in there with the tears that pouring nonstop. “haruna, promise me something.” She begged. “what’s that?” I ask. “you have to be who you are even if I’m not in your side. Can you promise me that?” kanako ask. “I-I’ll try.” I reply. After it she crashed her lips with mine for the last time.
End of flashback
And now here I am in my class with my best friend, shuu, and hazuki with their girlfriend. They are the only person that I can shared my secret with. They always cheered me up when I’m down just what like this time. “one last month until the graduation ceremony and the graduation trip. I wonder if there’s a prom or not.” Yabushita shuu one of my best friend said. “of course there will. Even if there is, you want to dance with who?” kurokawa hazuki one of my bestfriend ask. “of course with nagisa.” Shuu answer while pointing to her girlfriend that currently sitting behind her. “how about you, haru-chan?” ueda mirei hazuki’s girlfriend ask me. “I don’t have any interest in prom.” I said. I have to admit it, my life without kanako is so boring. I missed her a lot. “haruna, it seems that your ex are dating with that kamieda emika from class b.” my classmate suddenly told me once she get in to the class.
In an instant, my heart broken into pieces. And once again my tears pour down from my eyes. I never thought that she will moved on this fast. I really want to be with her again. I am really hoping that, me and kanako can be together again. But it seems that was only an imagination that already disappear. “haruna, are you really okay?” shibuya nagisa, shuu’s girlfriend ask as she saw my tears didn’t even stop. “can you guys leave me alone?” I begged. “b-but, haru-chan the class was about to start.” Hazuki said. “PLEASE JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!” I said once again raising my voice. I really need to cool down before the class start. Or else, I will get some problem again.
10 minutes later, the bell rung. Signing that the class was about to start. The 5th period is math and I hate math. So, I am thinking about skipping the class. Well, I am good at skipping lesson without being noticed when the class already start. Listen to my trick carefully so that you can skip the lesson that you hate.
1. If your sitting place are in the back, pretend to be sleep when the teacher are explaining about something in front of the class.
2. If you saw the chance to escape, sneak out quietly from the classroom. But don’t forget to take all of your things.
3. Don’t let your friend know about your plan. If you escape successfully, go to the place that you want.
That’s all that I can tell you. Usually I always go to the roof and dozed off in there. Actually I’m doing the same for today. But my plan is ruined when I heard familiar voice in there. The voice that I was longing for. “are you sure that you can dozing off in here?” the person ask. “that is none of your business, kanako.” I retorted. “yeah of course. that was none of my business. Because you are not my girlfriend anymore. You are just an ordinary friends to me. Right, haruna?” kanako said blurting out my weakness. “yeah, that’s right. But you’re forgetting something. We broke up without any particular reason. You decide the decision without thinking clear. Do you really realize what’ve you done to my heart?” I ask. feeling that my heart is about to broke again after hearing what kanako said. “that’s right. I made the decision without thinking clear. And all that happen is because of you. That because I can’t make the real decision because I still love you.” Kanako exclaimed.
My eyes widen in shock. She must be lying. If she still love she can’t be moved on this fast. “no. you lied. Please just don’t lie. Don’t lie to my heart.” I begged. I already enough of it. I don’t want to cry anymore. “leave me alone please.” I begged. I just want to be alone for now. “let me warn you haruna, our problem haven’t finished yet. And the reason I do this is for-” “JUST GO LEAVE ME ALONE.” I cut her word. Yeah the good thing is finally she can leave me alone. And the worst thing is my heart broken and I make her cry again.
Leaving me alone when I cried is the most important thing. I let those tears poured down until I ended up on sleeping. I don’t know until when I sleep. But all I know is I wake up in the school infirmary. When I wake up, the first thing is saw is, the white ceiling without blue color in there, the proof that this place isn’t the school roof. Second, I’m sleeping above a white bed with the white blanket. Third I’m not wearing my school uniform instead my gymnastic uniform. Finally I realized that someone moved me from the roof to this room.
When I touch my hair, it is wet. It will be weird if I didn’t heard someone’s talk to me. “good things I found you up there with hazuki, or else you would be sick when tomorrow comes.” The person said. “how can you and hazuki know that I was in the roof?” I ask. “we are skipping the lesson. Just for searching for you, idiot.” The person explained.
“shuu, did you saw kanako?” I ask.
“yeah. She was crying. Did you guys fight again?” shuu answer with some question.
“yeah. It’s my fault again.” I give a quick answer. An awkward air filled the room. But just then shuu concerning about the time.
“haru-chan, I guess it’s better for us to go back to the class now. The last period is about to start you know.” Shuu said.
“eh? Did you just say the last period? How long that I sleep in the roof?” I ask. Since I didn’t believe for what I heard. This is the first time for me to sleep that long.
“more than 4 hours.” Shuu answer. Ehh? More than 4 hours new things.
“haruna, let’s go before that yagura sensei kill me.” Shuu said to me.
“yeah. But unfortunately I can’t go with this uniform.” I said realizing that I was wearing my gymnastic uniform.
Then without saying anything, shuu pulled me into a changing room. “I can lend you mind. But remember to give it back to me.” She said since we have the same uniform size. Then we go to the class. Very lucky that yagura – sensei hasn’t come. We enter the class. So silent. I wonder where is hazuki. “shuu, where’s hazuki?” I ask. she give me a ‘she’s doing it again’ face. Don’t even tell me. That kid. “shuu, I’m going to search for sayanee. She know where’s hazuki right now.” I said then run to search for hazuki. At this time, hazuki probably in the park. “I’m lonely now.” I muttered
I still can’t forget about her. Missing her is already enough to make my heart hurt. “are you going to ask her to be your prom date or not.” Someone said behind me. It’s not the two of them. “maybe not. Not in the state when I still can’t control myself, milky.” I replied. She let out a little chuckled. “it’s not that bad.” Milky said and hug my body. “I’m sorry but, please don’t make me do harsh thing to you.” I said as I begin to remove her hand. “it’s okay. and you must be here to search for haako, right?” milky said and ask at the same time. “indeed I am.” Haruna said. “she’s having a little revenge with kamieda for stealing your ‘ex’.” Milky said. she doesn’t have to gone that far. “thanks.” And after it I dash to 3rd floor, where my and her class is located. Haako must be at the hall.
But unfortunately, she’s not there. Class. if I want to meet her at kamieda’s class, it means I have to pass my own class. AND the killer will found out, that I skipped her class. urgh, just let it be. Only 5 seconds, until she turn her back. And I will use that as that gold chance. 5, 4, 3, 2…. And 1 start.
She turn her back toward the student. I use that as my gold chance. And dash. When I already pass my class, I saw haako and kamieda in front of kanako’s class. I stop and listen for what are they talking about.
“you didn’t know about her true feeling. Let her go and be with that ijiri.” Haako said. if I recall, emika already have a girlfriend.
“but I can’t. I already promise her. I have to fulfill it.” Emika said. what? a promise.
“so if you have a promise with her, is it means that you can steal someone’s feeling just because of that promise.” Haako said. her emotion begin to take over. and not only that she begin to grab emika’s collar. I don’t want to see my best friend berserks in front of her childhood friends.
I slapped haako’s hand. She look at me with a surprise expression. “since when you’re there?” haako ask.
“you didn’t need to know. Let’s go back to class. yagura will kill me later.” I said to haako. Haako look at emika’s direction with hatred on her face.
“consider that you’re lucky today, kamieda.” Haako said toward emika.
“just shut your f****** mouth, hazuki.” I said with my unusual low voice.
and she started to silence her mouth. I don’t want to be harsh to someone like this, but it’s your fault. you’re the one that making me like this. I still have any plenty time. I still can give her my love. But why would she ended up on avoiding me? Kanako. “haru-chan, we already arrive in front of the class.” hazuki said. I stopped in my track. I slammed open the door. which make all of the student inside the class look at me and hazuki. Then the killer, yagura fuuko look at us intensely. “nice gut that you have there to skip my class, kinoshita-san, kurokawa-san.” She said.
“I don’t care. If you want to punish me then please. And after it, I won’t attend your class anymore.” I said. and this time, everyone look at me. “can’t you divert your eyes to another direction except mine?” I said raising my tone. Everyone let out their cold sweat. I can’t take it anymore. I decided to leave.
“yagura, I’m going to go home first.” I said without using any honorifics. Then after it, I pack my things and ready to leave.
“I really wish that you can forget about her and move on, cousin.” Yagura said.
“I wish I can, but you know it’s really impossible for me to do it, fuuko.” I said then leave.
Fuuko shake her head. When I finally leave the class, I run towards the gate. Only met someone familiar that standing by the wall. “I really wish that I can take her back to me, kanako.” I muttered under my breath, without looking at the person. “that would be only your imagination, haruna.” The person finally said. I stop. “what are you doing here, haruto?” I ask. yeah, kinoshita haruto. My twins. “I’m here to take you back to Italy.” Haruto said.
My heart pounding faster. “please give me a little more time.” I said. I could hear haruto let out a soft sigh. “I’ll give you one month, just for your graduation. But if you can’t do it, I’ll take you by force.” He said. he might be my twins, but kind of harsh too. “let’s go, mom and dad already waiting for you at home.” He said. I nod, then walk home together with haruto. But unfortunately, there must be someone that eavesdropping us. Because I can hear someone sobbing earlier. But it can’t be her right.
1 week had passed after she move on. I’m still trapped on my imagination world. The world where she is still exist in there. Everything is really different from what I have in the reality world. And in this one week, I avoid all of my friends and family, COMPLETELY. Today, I have a special meeting with some of the school organizer, because of my family company that want to give some sponsor to this school and about my graduation beforehand. I decided to make my graduation faster, so that I don’t have to cry and spend my night, just to think about her.
But sure it really make my heart ache too much. Just for hearing that they are going to engage in such a quick time. It doesn’t matter anymore, because I’m going to get married with my parent’s best friend’s daughter, Shiroma miru. she also is the niece of the school organizer. And when I arrive at class, everyone is looking at my direction. All of their gaze is really annoying. One of them stand up and ask from where I come. It really doesn’t a matter for them. So I decided not to answer their question. But not until one finishing question come that would make me really, really, annoyed. “why would miru-sama come to search for you?” alright, that’s the limit.
“does that really is your matter?” I ask.
“indeed it is really matter haru-chan. Miru-sama is the niece of the school organizer.” Nagisa said from her seat. I decided to ignore her. I know if I answer her, it can involve shuu, hazuki, and mirei.
“answer us, haru-chan.” Nagisa plead.
“i-I’m sorry but I can’t. you will only take her back, if I said about this.” I said.
“it’s okay. you can tell it to us when you want to.” Mirei said.
Just when I was about to speak, the class door open. Revealing a beautiful girl with slightly taller than me. It can’t be other than Shiroma miru, my fiancé. “haru-chan, uncle is looking for you.” She called. I smiled. “I’ll be there in a few minutes.” I said. she come to my direction and give a little peck on my cheek. “don’t be long. Uncle will get angry.” She said. And after it, she leave. Leaving me alone stunned by her action. And once again, the student’s eyes are laid on me again. And not only that, shuu’s eyes looking at me demanding for an answer. “that’s our relation. You have to find the other clue by yourself.” I said then leave the class leaving my friends at the class. I don’t want to do it, but I don’t want my heart broke again. I don’t want to be betrayed by love twice.
I run from the hallway towards the organizer office. Miru’s uncle is my father’s bestfriend. Hoping that I’m not late. The door is in front of my eyes. Am I safe? That’s what I’ve been thinking since earlier. I stand up. Fixing my body posture. I fix everything to be in the right position. I knock the door. when I heard the voice that commanding me to come in, I open the door and enter.
3 man sitting there. I only recognize the middle one. Cause the middle one is miru’s uncle. “alright, haruna-kun. About your graduation file. I already give it to haruto-kun.” The man said. I can only nod my head. I don’t know if I should say this or not. I want to cancel my relation with miru. “and one more thing.” He said. “what is it, sir?” I ask. he paused a little bit. Unsure to speak or not. I look at him. After 5 minutes, he speak up. “about your relation with miru, I want you to cancel it.” Eh? It should be me that saying that word. “I’m okay with it, but what about her?” I ask. he fell into silence for a while.
“it’s fine. I’ll engage them with your cousin, yagura fuuko.” He said. fuuko huh? The difference of our age is 4 years. But no problem. I’ll take it. “okay. I’ll tell this to fuuko.” I said. but was retorted after it. “no need. I already told her to come right now.” After he said that, I heard a knocking sound from outside. “it must be the two of them. And the two of you, if you could, I want you to get out from this room. I want to talk privately with her.” He said. the two men beside him went toward the door and got out. Miru and fuuko enter the room. “hi, cousin.” I said. she smiled at me.
“so uncle, what do you want from me?” miru ask.
“I want to cancel your engagement with haruna.” He said. I can tell by miru’s face. She doesn’t like it. Fuuko only can lowered her head.
“instead I want you to engage with haruna’s cousin beside you.” Fuuko and miru look at each other. “why?” miru ask. fuuko lowered her head again.
“if you don’t want it, how about I engage you with haruna’s twin?” he ask. don’t joke. Haruto doesn’t want to get engage with miru.
“never mind. Just engage me with fuuko.” Miru said. after it, she leave.
“then if you may, we’ll be leaving too.” Fuuko said. then we leave.
Fuuko, she’s down. “be nice with miru. I’ll help you to get closer with her.” I said to fuuko.
“what should I do? I hurt her heart once.” Fuuko said.
“don’t worry. I know that deep in her heart, she still love you. I can know with by looking at her eyes.” I said.
“I’m going to the class. you’re going or not?” she ask.
“you know my daily routine.” I said.
“as always. See you later.” She said then she went to class. I went to the rooftop.
This feeling. What should I do with it? I already cry for this feeling. I have enough of it. I went toward the railing. Looking down toward the road. The sky is cloudy and dark. I’m waiting for the rain to wash myself. And finally it has pouring down. My tears fall to. I should leave her alone. Give her happiness that I can’t, emika. I just want to be like this. I don’t care if I still hoping for her or not. even if I engage with miru, I’ll end up hurting her and make myself in mess.
“you think standing in the middle of the rain can take away all of your pain? Think it one more time haruna.”
“I already think a numerous time already. But still, I couldn’t forget this feeling. It will only remain. I don’t even know what I really have to do. If it’s you, shiraishi-san, what would you do?”
“I will think about it clearly. Try to forget it first. But I will do everything, in order to take nanase back.”
“nishino-san must be lucky to have you by her side.”
“you only have 1 month right. Then do what you really have to do. She’s waiting.”
“thanks, shiraishi-san. I’m sorry to make you come from nogizaka to namba.”
“no problem. I only heard from yamamoto-kun that you have problem with her. I guess, my duty here already finish. Please think it clearly. You have to find the answer in this 2 weeks. Time is precious. You can’t rewind it anymore.”
Then she left. She come to this place only for this. But her habit calling sayanee never change. I will do what I have to do. Haruto, thanks for the time. I really appreciate it. Thanks too, shiraishi-san. I guess it’s not bad to try. I clenched my fist. Then turn it into normal again, wiped off the remaining water on my face. I went back to the locker room. Alright, I’m dripping wet. I have to change my clothes.
Inside the locker room, I search for my locker. When I finally found it, I took out my uniform and change my wet uniform. The time has come. I have to do this. After I change my uniform, I went to my class. but, I can’t see fuuko’s figure inside. “shuu, where’s fuuko?” she shrugged her shoulder. Oh come on. I come here only to meet her. But maybe I know. I exit the class and went to miru’s class. she might be there.
And indeed, she’s there. But there are only the two of them. What are they doing. Miru…she pinned down fuuko? Not a joke. All I remember, miru and fuuko already broke up because of fuuko cheat on kei. And because of that, miru hate fuuko. But now, maybe it’s the reverse. Miru is starting to rape fuuko at her class. I opened the class door. raising my right eyebrow for what they’ve done.
“where do you think this place? A brothel?”
“you ruin our time, haru-chan.”
“so, you want to continue? Then please.”
“you want to join? I’ll mess you first.”
“no please. Just do it to the person behind you.”
“so, what are you doing here?”
“I just want to say that I have decided to take her back.”
Fuuko smiled. “I’ll leave fuuko on your hand miru. Don’t mess with her again fuuko. Then pardon me.” I said then leave the class. 2 weeks huh? Not bad. Oh yeah, that’s it. 2 weeks again is prom. Why not. sayanee, I really owe you for calling shiraishi-san to namba. She really save me. I went back to my class and sit patiently on my chair. I take out my phone, searching for my twin’s number.
Once I find it, I tap the call button. I keep on waiting for haruto to pick up the call. Not too long after I tap the call button, haruto pick up the call. I smile.
“hi twins.” I call. But can’t listen the owner’s voice.
“haruna…don’t mess. I’m driving.” He said from the other line.
“how’s your study in Italy?” he is my twin. But smarter than me.
“fine. Not like my twin.”
“haruto…don’t mess. I’m studying.”
“do what you like. So what do you want?”
“I just want to ask for your help for prom.”
“okay…continue.”
“I want to give a surprise. Can you help me?”
“sure I can. What do you want to do?”
“I want to propose her. What do you think?”
“nice. I’ll help you.”
“thanks. I’ll hang up. I have to study.”
“study well, haruna.”
Haruto might be harsh or rude to be exact, but behind that attitude he is actually a nice person. Okay, 2 weeks. I’m grateful that he really want to help me. Alright study for your national exam. Study, study, and study. That’s the only thing that make me busy, preventing shuu, nagisa, mirei, and hazuki to disturb my mind.
3 hours later. I wonder I have study for how long. When I look at the clock, I’m surprise to find me studying for 3 hours. Can I really concentrate? I look at the question on my book. It’s all correct. But I don’t remember to make someone mark my book. Who is the one that marking my book?
“hard to believe that you’re a real genius. 3 hours for 500 question.” I jerk my heads up to meet the person’s eyes. That eyes…is that…
“haruto.” My twin.
“you don’t have to look at me with that eyes.”
“hahahaha. Just slow down.”
“you’re a real genius. You even defeat me.”
“well, I don’t know if this is real or not. I just think that I never focus on study.”
“but all of your score are always perfect.”
“alright, let’s go home. I already got all of my things.”
“you drive your own car right?”
“I do. And you already got the thing that I need right?”
“of course.”
“let’s go.”
After finish packing my things, I walk together with my twins to the parking lot. Well, not too many student walking around the school because it’s already pass the go home time. But if some of them left in the school, they might be wondering. Why would I walk with boy? You guys have to know. I have a trauma toward a boy. Because of my father. But now, the trauma has gone. That’s what make me become like this.
I walk toward my silver Ferrari and get inside my car. I drive my car out from school. My national exam will start from this Thursday until next Monday. And the last week will be the prom. Still have time, so don’t be worry about it. When I drive my car, usually never open the mp3 player. But maybe, only for this time, I’ll open my favorite song. I smile when the intro started.
Prom…prom…
Prom…prom…
Hontou wa kanojo to…
But just by hearing the intro, I felt like, why it have to be her. I really want to cry now. I swept off that feeling and focus on the road. Still 2 weeks left. Keep fighting for her heart. 30 minutes later, me and haruto arrive to our house. After parking our car in our family’s garage, finally we enter our house. Inside our house, as always it is so quiet. “mom, dad, we’re home.” We shouted from the living room. But there’s no one answer our greeting.
“ah, haruto, haruna, you guys finally come home.” Someone said from our behind. When we turn, haruto couldn’t hide his shock expression. It’s her. She’s back to us again.
“riichan…” Haruto finally shed his tears. Kondo rina. That is the person that greet us earlier, and not to forget, she is haruto’s lost lover. Riichan open her arms inviting haruto to enter that warmness that he lost for almost 2 years. “I’m going to my room first. Call me when dinner already finished.” I Said as I start to climb the stair to the second floor where my room and haruto’s room located at.
Inside my room, I laid my body on the bed as soon as possible. 2 weeks. I know my face and haruto’s face are same. but the problem is my hair. I took out my phone and open the chatting application that we usually use, “LINE”. When I open the application, the notification really make me want to reply it immediately.

Knst_hrn : just do as you like
Haako_0805 : just do what you like shuu
Sayanee_milky : I don’t care about what you want.
After the last sentence that sayanee let out, I close my phone and went to sleep without changing my clothes. God, only this time please granted me a dream where we haven’t broke up. Please granted my selfish dream. Only for this time.
2 weeks has passed. My national exam already finished, and you guys know what? I got the first rank for the national one. That makes mom and dad really happy and appointed me as the next CEO for the head of kinoshita corp.ltd. Even if I said that I have a trauma toward boy, I just can’t forget about the hard work that he did for my family.
“haruna, have you done already? I want to lend you my tuxedo.” Haruto called from outside. Currently, I’m still fixing my hair because my best friends want to do danso. Huh.
“I’m finished. You can come in.” I said a little bit louder. My room’s door are open as soon as I said that.
*haruna, this is my-... what the-...* I realized that weird expressions from haruto.
*am I that weird?* I ask him while checking my appearance from the mirror.
*you’re…handsome.” Haruto said to me as he led me to chair and fix my hair. When I look at the mirror, I just notice.
“hey, our appearance is just the same,” I said to haruto. He smile and stop fixing my hair.
“we will be the same. if you use this hair gel and my work suits.” He gently said to me.
“our clothes size are same?” I ask. he nod as the answer. Thanks, haruto.
“hurry up. The party is about to start. If you’re done, I’ll be right in front of the gate.” Haruto said as he left my room.
I change my clothes as fast as I can. Because haruto is going to take me to the party tonight. And he will help me to propose her tonight. Oh yeah, have I told you that haruto already got married? Hahaha. It is really funny if I told you guys. Anyway, from now on riichan is my young sister in-law. When I already finish, I went toward the first floor to take my mask, my invitation, and to wear my sneakers. After I finished, I got out from my house and directly went to the gate. Just like what haruto said, as soon as I got out from my house and the gate, a black Porsche is waiting for me. I open the passenger’s door and enter the car.
Around 30 minutes, finally I arrive to the party hall safely. I got out from the car and wear my mask. Not forgetting to say thank you to haruto for helping me this time. I walk in toward the hall’s lobby with mask on my face to hide my identity. After showing my invitation card, I enter the party hall with shuu, sayanee, and hazuki that already wait for me to come.
Just when we enter the ballroom, everyone start to whispered.
“oh my god, they’re so handsome.”
“I want to be their girlfriend.”
“is that the NG?”
“oh my holy goat... they’re more handsome than that kinoshita momoka.”
“is that kinoshita haruto? Why would he here?”
“are you fool, it’s really obvious that, the middle boy is kinoshita haruna.”
Everyone is whispering that word. But not with the girl that using crystal blue dress. It’s her. Kadowaki kanako. The girl that really can make me forget about my current self.
“hey haruna, let’s have a dance.” One girl start to ask me when I’m looking at kanako.
“I’m sorry. I can’t. I already have someone to be my date.”
“oh come on, just for this time.” This girl is so persistent.
“like I said, I already have someone to be my date.” After raising my voice, I start to look around. I can’t even see her presence.
A little bit irritated because I can’t find her, I push that annoying and persistent girl a little bit hard, so that she ended up on the floor with butt down. She really serves it. I run around the ballroom. But she is not there. I remove my mask, because I really can’t see if I put this mask on my face. If I really can’t find her inside this ballroom, I really have to find her outside.
But, before I could take a step, I found her. She’s being alone there. She look her surrounding and finally back to the window again. I put on my mask again. Fixing my clothes, my messy hair, before I approach her. Ah yeah, I forget that I can’t speak to her. Hah, another challenge. I walk toward her direction and stop behind her. It looks like, she doesn’t even realize my presence. I tap her shoulder to make her face me.
When she turn, I can feel that my heart is pumping 10th time than usual. I want to say in front of her that she’s really pretty tonight. Her dark brown hair, that hazel brown eyes, her little bit tall nose, and the last, her pinkish lips. All of her face parts are really tempting. I really want to attack her now.
“hey, are you okay?” she ask. I remember that I can’t answer her. So I nod as the answer. She smile. Oh my god...her smile has changed. It becomes more beautiful. Kanako, do you know that I really miss you. Unconsciously, I lure my right hand to her. She frown. Oh god, she’s cute if she keep being like that.
“you want me to be your date tonight?” she ask. I smile. She won’t know if this is me. I nod again. At first, she hesitated for a while. But, after I give her my smile, she take it. I pull her toward the center of the ballroom. As soon as we arrive at the center, the music start and everyone start to dance. It’s been a while for the two of us stay close like this. I don’t know how, but maybe if I put this happiness into words, it will only be 4 words. I am really happy. In the middle of the dance, I don’t know what’s gotten inside me, I place my lips onto hers.
Around 30 minutes dance, sayanee pull me away from the crowd and make our way toward our sacred stage. Huh, this guy’s always do their things without telling me beforehand. They even put me in front of the dance formation. Geez, they really have to pay me for this. The light suddenly went off when we already on the stage. Before the lamp went off, I can see that kanako is looking at me. Then before I know it the song start. And the light is back. But it’s not white, it’s blue, green, yellow, and red.
PUROMU... PUROMU...
PUROMU... PUROMU...

When that part already come, we, the namba girls remove our mask. Well, the one that dance is not only for namba girls. There’s more girls like ishizuka akari, yoshida akari, okita ayaka, Yamagishi natsumi, and the last, my senpai, kishino rika. After we remove our mask, I can see kanako’s surprised face. And after that I sing the lyrics that I really like. I hope that she can realized why I sing this song for her. I hope that she can realized it.

When it almost reach the last lyric, I run toward the backstage and get the things that I really need. There I met haruto that already standby while holding my bouquet and my propose ring. I got out from the backstage and run toward kanako that still can’t process anything. I can feel that my tears are going to burst. But still I don’t want to cry, unless she gave me her answer. I knelt in front of her while sing the last part for her.
boku wa imasara nani ka ni kidzuita

I really let my tears out from my eyes. This is the second time I cried in front of people. The first time is when I ask kanako to be mine. And this is the second time. I cried in front of her after 3 years. Now I stand, and hand her the flower bouquet. I don’t know how to speak anymore. She takes the bouquet and smile. “don’t cry anymore, babe.” My eyes widen in shock when she suddenly kiss me. Without breaking the kiss, I slip the ring that haruto already bought to her left ring finger.
Around 5 minutes in that position, finally I parted my lips. “will you marry me?” I ask almost in a whisper. Without giving me answer, she kiss me again. Oh come on, she already kiss me twice. That should be me the one that kiss her. She parted her lips again. “I will, haruna.” Only that answer that I want. Only her that I want. Finally I can hug her again.
At least, you’re mine again. And I’ll never let you again. From now on, until the last day of my life, I’ll always make you happy and you’ll remain as mine.
