It was a Saturday and Sendoh's injury has recovered already. He was now feeling a lot better even though no one helped him through the pain he got from his broken heart. Anyway, even though he had the most perfect smile, popularity and tons of friends, no one helped him. He faced the heartbreak alone.
On the other hand, Kenji visited Minako at her home.
"Good morning, my sweet princess."
"So, my prince is here to visit me here early in the morning? What a surprise!"
"Did I? Or are you expecting another guest?"
"No, I'm not."
"Prepare yourself and we're going out."
"Where?"
"It's a surprise."
"Ok, wait for me. I'll wear something casual."
"Don't let me wait too long."
"I won't."
After fifteen minutes, Minako went downstairs and she was wearing a red dress up to her knees; simple, yet elegant and a pair of silver earrings. Fujima was staring at her.
"You told me to wear something casual but you…"
"Casual? I bought this dress when my parents and I went shopping in Paris. Girls there consider it to be casual…"
"It's ok… Anything would look perfect on you since you are beautiful…"
"I missed those sweet words…"
"I think you always hear more sweet words from handsome guys in France…"
"Yeah, a lot… But you are the one who always touch my heart."
"Thank you, I hope that's something true… Shall we go?"
"Sure."
Kenji drove his car. They were talking endlessly.
"So, tell me… Where are we going?"
"Site-seeing…"
"I see."
"Actually, I don't know… I just want to be with you."
"How sweet but you mustn't invite me to a date undecided."
"Sorry… Are you hungry?"
"Yeah, a little. I didn't have breakfast."
"Ok, I know just where… The food is delicious there and you'll enjoy the indoor pond. It is a small garden but then, there are a lot of plants and flowers around. I know you'll love it."
"I'll go with you wherever you'll take me."
They arrived at the restaurant at exactly 12, time for lunch. The scenario is really amazing. Fujima's description was evident and Minako was enjoying the whole place. Coincidentally, Rukawa and Haruko seem to have a date.
"Hey Minako!" Haruko was waving at them.
"I am surprise to see both of you here. Is it a date?" Minako asked cheerfully.
"Yeah. I invited her to have lunch here. It is to thank her for everything she have done for me." Rukawa said smiling at Haruko.
"I am very happy to heart that." Minako said.
Fujima interrupted them; "I think it is a nice idea if we'll join you."
"Sure. No problem with that."
While waiting for the bill they needed to pay, a girl wearing a pink sleeveless blouse and mini skirt. She is really attractive and she also has a slender body. "Kenji, dear… You didn't tell me that you're having lunch with your friends." She kissed him and all of them were stunned. "I was tired of waiting for you at home."
Minako stood up. "Kenji, I couldn't believe that you'll be able to do this to me. After all this time, you were still lying to me. Do not ever try to show your face to me again!!!"
Minako walked out the door while holding back her tears. Rukawa and Haruko followed her.
"He deceived me…"
Haruko was comforting her. "I know it is painful knowing that the person you love have someone else… But you must be strong."
"Do not worry… I guess this thing happened for a reason… Maybe someone is more suitable and worthy for your love… That is why it happened…" Rukawa told her.
"Yeah… But it hurts! I do not deserve this!"
"Cry… Do not hold back your tears. Soon… you'll overcome this painful experience."
