This is the sequel to Maybe Fate is on Our Side.
This time, fate is on the side of Hotaru and Ruka.
Please read and review.
They celebrated the wedding with smiles on their faces and this time she let it go. She didn't take pictures for the sake of earning money but she did, for she wants to keep this happy memories.
"You seem to be enjoying." A voice said, handing her a cup of champagne.
"Of course. It's that baka's wedding anniversary." She said, taking the cup.
"Yeah. They finally found true love and happiness." He said, sipping from his cup, looking at Hotaru.
Hotaru quickly looked away and sipped from her cup too.
Slow music started playing and pairs began dancing. Ruka placed his cup down and faced Hotaru.
"How about a dance?" He motioned.
Hotaru placed her hand on his and little by little they were dancing like it was just the two of them on the dance floor.
Natsume and Mikan who was also at the dance floor noticed this and they just smiled, knowing that nothing has still changed between Ruka and Hotaru even after 1 year. They were still in love with each other.
"I hope they get back together." Mikan said, sighing.
"Isn't it obvious that they will?" Natsume said smirking, "and don't sigh." He continued.
Mikan just gave him a questioning look.
"Cause' it might chase away all the good luck." Natsume said, holding Mikan close to him.
"My feet hurt." Mikan said.
They went to their tables and sat down.
Hotaru noticing the closure, pulled away and said, "It was great dancing with you."
Ruka just smiled and was about to say something but Hotaru had already left.
"I missed you." He whispered, mentally.
Hotaru was nowhere to be seen after the reception and it seemed like she went home already without even saying goodbye to Mikan.
"It's okay Ruka. I'm sure she missed you too." Mikan said, sensing Ruka's worry.
After bidding goodbye to the couple, Ruka went home and didn't get quite a good sleep. His mind would always wander around a certain raven-haired girl whom he danced tonight, whom he hasn't seen for a year, and who went home without even saying goodbye.
"I don't know if she still has feelings for me but I really think that she felt what I did when we were dancing." He thought.
Not being able to fall asleep, he got up and went to the kitchen. He opened his fridge to find something to eat. He found a pudding.
Ruka wasn't able to sleep until 2 in the morning.
On the other hand, Hotaru didn't go home directly after she left the reception. She decided to stop over at the place where you can see the beautiful sunset but since it was evening there was no sun above. It was the moon that shone beautifully but that wasn't the reason she was there.
She went there to clear up her mind a little and who would have thought that Hotaru Imai can be confused. When she was confused, she used to talk with Ruka, not Mikan since she wouldn't understand. Now, she's all alone to clear the confusion in her mind.
After an hour, she decided to go home, to her condominium.
The following day, Ruka went to work with a very sloppy body. He was still tired for he didn't get enough sleep.
"Good morning sir." His secretary greeted.
He nodded in reply.
He sat down and dropped his head on the table then the phone rang. He was having second thoughts of picking it up but he did eventually.
"Hey."
"Natsume!" he replied, a little bit surprised.
"Can you come during lunch break at the park near the café we used to go to?"
"Why?" he asked.
"Just come." And with that Natsume, hanged up on the phone.
Ruka slowly placed the phone down and sighed.
"Why now?" He thought, totally not in the mood.
Before he went tot the park, he stopped by the café to get a cup of coffee. He sat there for a while since it was still a bit early. He was so lost in his thoughts until he heard a familiar voice say, "Latte, please."
He slowly turned his head and his assumptions were right. It was no other than Hotaru Imai.
"What she doing here?" he thought.
He quickly fixed his hair and tie, trying to make himself presentable.
Hotaru took her cup and when she turned around, there she saw Ruka Nogi.
"Why is he here?" She thought.
"How about a seat?" Ruka offered.
Hotaru with the cup in hand took her seat.
"Did Hyuuga called you up here?" Hotaru asked, breaking the silence.
"He did." Ruka just simply said, trying to hide the happiness he felt.
Silence engulfed them. They were sipping their coffee.
"Oh, it's Natsume and Mikan with Natsuki." Ruka said, looking over the window.
Hotaru turned around to look.
"I think we should get going." Hotaru said, getting up.
They went together to the park feeling a little awkward and feeling that these two are planning something by calling both of them here.
"Auntie Hotaru. Uncle Ruka." Natsuki said, cheerfully.
"Oh! You've met." Mikan said, grinning.
"Why did you call me?" Ruka asked, looking at Natsume. Then Natsume looked at Mikan.
"We have a favor to ask you." Mikan started.
They both eyed Mikan curiously.
"Will you please take care of Natsuki together while I and Natsume will be going?"
"WHAT?!"
How was it?
Hope you enjoyed.
Please review.
Thanks.
