Start By Becoming A Mangaka
chapter-72

[Yo, it's been a while], Ranko said while looking at the window of his apartment.

[Where are you? Where are you, right now?], Ranko took a deep breath, it was her first time hearing his voice for a while.

[I'm in a faraway place], Ranko said.

[Why?] Yuuki asked, [Is it because of that day?" That day, I said your body is cheap? I'm sorry for saying too much but I want you to realize that you're worth more than you think Ranko. I don't want you to give me your v.i.r.g.i.nity that easy].

Ranko felt better when she heard Yuuki confession about a few days ago. It was as if the weight on her heart was being lifted. One of her regrets before transferring to another school was resolved.

(BGM: Back Number - Happy End).

Ranko took a deep breath, [Thank you that words really mean that much to me].

[Then, don't go! There is Yukana here, I'll help you make her your girlfriend! There is also me! Don't you miss me?] Yuuki said.

Ranko smiled wryly but felt warm in her heart, [You know, for the past few days, I've been wondering why I can give my body to you easily?]

Yuuki didn't say anything and kept listening.

[At first, I thought it was because of Yukana, I can give up everything for her but it seems I was wrong, I can give my v.i.r.g.i.nity it's because of you.]

Ranko took a deep breath, she felt both nervous and sad to say this to him, [This will be our last time to communicate with each other and I want to say it was because of you that my life is happier, I can laugh and make friends with other people].

Tears started to fall from her eyes, [I remember when we met for the first time, our misunderstanding, the time we thought a plan to make the date fail, and the day we having fun together.]

Ranko kept saying all their memories until the rain was falling, and her parents started to call her.

"Ranko, you need to enter the car, the rain is starting," Ranko heard her mom's voice. She didn't enter the car and let the rain hit her face. She wanted to hide her tears with this rain.

Ranko kept talking while walking toward the car, [Yuuki, I want you to know that even though this will be our last time to communicate with each other, but you must know that I really love you].

Ranko entered the car, [I really love you, I want you to know that, I didn't give my v.i.r.g.i.nity to anyone, I give it to you because I love you].

Ranko wiped her tears, [Before I end this call, I wish you to take care of Yukana for me, she will be very sad after I transfer, I want you to be there for her, and I really love you].

Ranko wanted to end her call until she heard him say, [I won't accept this].

[It's too late, I can't meet you know], Ranko said sadly.

[Really? Look back,] Ranko felt strange until she heard a loud sound from behind, she was startled and looked back from her car.

The rain made it hard for her to see who she or he was, Ranko looked at the person who drove a motorcycle.

"Stop the car!!" Ranko said to her parents.

Her parents were startled and stopped the car, they wanted to ask her what was going on but they were too late because Ranko was already running out of their car.

"What's going on?" Her dad was confused.

"Oh, youth," her mother looked as if there was a young man in the back of their car.

Yuuki used his 'Arc of Embodiment' to make a motorcycle and a device to search for her. He was driving his motorcycle while he kept talking with her through the phone.

Yuuki kept listening to her until Ranko said she loved him,'Do you think I'll let you go after saying that much to me?'

Yuuki chased her even though it was raining, he didn't care about the police who chased him.

"THE PERSON WHO DRIVE THE MOTORBIKE, PLEASE STOP!!!" Yuuki heard the female police.

"F.U.C.K YOU!!!" Yuuki cursed her, he didn't have time to stop.

"YOU!!!" Yuuki heard that the police officer was pissed.

( OST. True Tears - Omoi wo Oitekite ~Reflect Tier~) BGM.

Yuuki kept driving his motorbike ignoring the police warning, he wanted to meet Ranko as soon as possible. He wanted to wipe her tears, he wanted to be with her this time.

'This time, I won't mess it up,' Yuuki finally found her car and told her to look back.

Yuuki saw the car stopped and Ranko was coming out looking very fl.u.s.tered. He got off his motorbike and walked to meet her.

Yuuki looked at her for a while and said, "Be mine."

Ranko looked at him in disbelief and said, "No!"

Yuuki didn't care about it, "Be mine!"

"No!!" Ranko shook her head.

"I want you to be always by my side! I want you to be with me!" Yuuki said.

"Always by your side? What is that?" Tears started falling from her eyes, "Are you proposing to me? I do not even agree to become your girlfriend."

Yuuki walked toward her and hugged her.

Ranko didn't resist him and let him hug her.

The rain stopped and the sky was bright.

Yuuki stopped hugging her and looked at her straight, "Be my wife."

Ranko with red tinted on her cheeks said, "Yes."

Yuuki moved his head closer and kissed her.

This moment where they truly became one and were honest with each other.
