Chapter 46: Chapter 46
''Yua-chan!'' I cried out her name.
''Miyu senpai.....'' She murmured. I can see the disappointment in her teary eyes and yet she tries to smile it away.
I run towards her, hoping to give her a hug that she deserves. Leaping onto her, I hold her so close to me.
''Miyu senpai, what happen to you? Why with the sudden hug?'' She said.
''You can let it out, you know... I promise I won't laugh at you...'' I patted her head.
''Sen-senpai, wha-what are you talking about? I won't cry jus-just because I got rejected in a-a good way...'' Yua's voice began to get raspy.
''Sakura senpai wa-was so kind to m-me... She didn't look down at me, e-even thought she knows t-that I am different from the others....'' Her tears began to fall on my shoulder.
Not knowing what to say, I just keep on holding her close to my chest, just like Yuuto always did whenever I started to have a breakdown.
''There, there....'' I gently rub her back to help her calm down.
''She a-also wishes for my happiness i-in the future for me. Every kind words t-that she said and her kind gesture ma-makes me fall deeper for her, Miyu senpai..... I don't know w-what to do right now... I-I want to move on b-but my hearts can't....''
Hearing out her small cry and her feeling about Sakura makes me feel sad.
''Everything will become better, Yua-chan... Have faith in yourself...'' I try to comfort her.
''Thank you...senpai...'' She hugs me back.

After I walk Yua to her classroom, I went back to my class since lunchtime is over.
''So, how was Yua-chan?'' Yuuto asked me as soon as I walk into the class.
''Yua-chan? Well, I can't say anything about it.'' I walk towards my desk and flop on my desk in disappointment.
''Ugh!! How I wish that confession goes smoothly and everything will go as planned....'' I frustrated.
''Desuyonee.....'' Yuuto stretched his arm to his back and rest his head.
''Nee, Miyu-chan. I heard that your parents will come home this evening, right?'' He turns looking at me and asked.
''Yup. Why?'' I lazily turn my head that's laying on the desk and give him a weird look.
''Nothing, I just want to confirm it with you since nowadays the neighbourhood is not as safe as usual. So with your parents home with you make me reliefs a bit.'' He smiled gently.
''Wait, you have been worrying about me for the whole last week?!'' Feeling surprised, I sit straight on the chair and looking at him in disbelieve.
''Of course, I have been worrying about you all these time, Miyu-chan. You are the most important person that I care in my life.'' He said with his gentle voice.
At that moment, I can only hear Yuuto's angelic voice as if there's only both of us in the classroom. Instantly my frustration thoughs goes away and I feel so calm with just hearing his voice.
''Yuuto-kun, thank you for worrying about me all these time...'' I smiled.
''Thank you, Yuuto-kun!'' I smile at him.
***
''Thank you, Yuuto-kun!'' Miyu smiled at me.
That simple word somehow makes me feel happy. All this time, finally my effort was all worth it.
Seeing her smile like that make me want her even more. I want that smile only belongs to me, no one else deserves to lay an eye nor have a glance on her.
'I hope that this moment could last forever and ever.' I secretly pray underneath my breath.
''Ah, the teacher is here!'' She stands up from her seats.
As the class president give the instruction to stand up and gives the teacher respect, I steal a glance at her from the corner of my eyes.
''Your welcome, my beloved queen.'' I whispered as I look at her.

''I am home.'' I called out after seeing my parents shoes on the doorstep.
''Okay then, Miyu-chan. I will get going now, see you tomorrow.'' Yuuto waves me goodbye before he rides his bicycle.
''See you tomorrow!'' I wave my hand.
''And also, don't forget to give me a call after opening the chocolate box I gave you okay.'' He winked at me.
''Huh? What do you mean by that, Yuuto-kun?''
''You will know it after you open the chocolate.''
Then he rides his bicycle home and leaves me alone at the doorstep.
*Sigh~*
"Anyways, let go and meet mommy and daddy first." I shake my curious thoughts away and head towards the living room.
''Okasan, otousan, taidama~'' I went to the living room and saw my parents were there, unpacking their luggage.
''Welcome home, Mi-chan. Look what your granny have prepared for your present.'' My mother shows me a Kyoto styled yukata.
''Oh wow! It looks so pretty! Wait, she made me for me? Isn't she ill?'' I take the yukata from my mother and admire the pattern that's printed on the light purple colour yukata. The beautiful Iris flowers pattern on the yukata fits perfectly with the colour.
''Well, we got fooled. Granny make this especially for you, Mi-chan andd....she even writes you a letter. Here.'' My mother hands me a typical white Japanese envelope that's written my name on it.
''Mi-chan, I heard from the news that there serial killer was still roaming around our neighbourhood from last week, right? And that killer hasn't been caught yet?'' My father asked me.
''Yup, it was right. That's why our school end the lesson earlier than it supposes to be.'' I replied as I fold the yukata and place it inside the box.
''Oh my poor sweetheart! Were you scared being alone at the house for the past few days, sweetie?'' My mother started to get concerned.
''Not really, Yuuto has been picking me up when we were going to school and we went back home together. And also, I have made a new friend with the basketball club too. So, I have been very safe with my friends lately.'' I explained excitedly.
''Huh?! Yuuto has been picking you up when you are going to school? Since when you are getting so close to him?'' My father started to ask me a pile of questions.
''Wasn't Yuuto and me were very close since I am 10? Dad, you were overreacting it.'' I rolled up my eyes.
''Mommy, look at her! She was rolling her eyes just because I ask about her boyfriend. Looks like I am going to be a father-in-law soon.'' My father went complaining to my mother.
''WHAT?! YUUTO ARE NOT MY BOYFRIEND, DAD! Oh gosh, for heaven sake!!'' I grab the yukata and storm off the living room.
*Sigh~*
''Looks like we are going to have a son in law soon.'' My mother sighed and patted his head.
