Sendoh has learned what happened from Rukawa. He decided to visit Minako since it's Sunday and he doesn't have anything to do. But before that, he bumped into Fujima on his way.
"What have you done? I thought you loved her but how can you find the guts to deceive her?"
"Why do you care so much? That's none of your business. Now, I must explain it to Minako."
"Do what you want but I tell you, you won't be able to have her again."
"Are you sure? Let's just see."
They both entered the house of Minako. At the living room, Minako was sitting on the floral couch while reading a book.
"Minako!"
"Hey there Sendoh!" She was shock upon seeing Fujima. "Kenji, why are you here?"
"Minako… About yesterday, yes, she kissed me in front of you…"
"Why are you explaining to me? I have made it clear that I don't want to see you again! So, you better go now."
"Minako, please give me time to explain what happened yesterday."
"It is already clear to me. You deceived me and you've won. What else do you want to prove? That you'll have me again? Never!"
"No, she was my ex-girlfriend. I broke up with her upon hearing the news that you are back. She was lying when she said she was waiting for me at her house. I mean it! Please… please believe me!"
"If you really loved me… You must have waited for me but then; you had another girl while I was gone… You made me believe you… All the things you've said…"
"Give me another chance… Please…."
"I have given you another chance and you wasted it! Please leave!"
"Ok, I'll leave but please think it over."
Fujima left and Minako was again… crying. Sendoh have seen it all.
"Sendoh, you're still here…"
"Yeah. I am here to be at your side."
"Thank you. Sorry…"
"No, don't be sorry… You have nothing to be sorry about." Sendoh was holding her hands, gently. "I'll wipe away your tears even if I have to a million times. I'll wait for you even if it takes a lot of time. Just tell me if I've got no chance, until then I'll stop but this I promise you, even if you don't give me back the love I am giving you right now… It is ok for me if you only like me as a friend."
Minako touched his lips by her finger. "I told you I'd be giving you a week to prove me that you love me… But the week is over and I now know and proved that you really love me…"
"And…"
"Please wait because I am still traumatize of what had happened. Give me time to repay you."
"No, I don't want you to repay me for the things I've done, it's not a debt you must pay… I want you to repay me with your pure feelings that you have for me. Do not love me because you just like to pay me back. Love me because that's what you feel about me."
"I understand you now." Minako paused. "Give me time to think… to overcome what happened. If we are really meant for each other, then, I'll be happy to have you here beside me. For now, let us be friends."
"I agree. I'll help you to forget what happened and learn something from it. Trust me."
"I trust you, Akira… Thanks for comforting me."
"No problem. Do you want us to go somewhere… it's not a date but…"
"Maybe, let's have Rukawa and Haruko with us, it'll be fun…"
"I don't know how to contact them…"
"I'll call them now and invite them here for lunch. After that let's go and see a movie."
"Nice idea. I guess this will help you relax a bit."
