It has been, 4 years? That long? 19 years after and here I am, still writing fanfiction on the same anime. A couple of chapters, suddenly popped out of my brain and I feel I just have to write them anyways. To anyone reading this, thank you in advance! :)
This is a Shouji Toukairin oneshot.
"Goal"
Since I was young, my goal was to climb the Himalayas.
At age 23, I finally achieved my dream. But before that happened, my life changed forever.
Since I laid my eyes on this girl, she has been driving me out of my mind. I could not help staring at her everytime she is around, and it ended up as a lame excuse for killing time before my first flight to the Himalayas. I never regretted spending time getting to know Natsumi, and I am glad that we share the same interests.
Four years have passed and we still have a strong relationship, even if we work long distance. I am happy that despite our busy schedule, she still works hard in cooking for us during our days off.
And here I am, on a plane coming home from another trip to Nepal. In my left hand I have a black velvet box that I bought while I was touring a new mall with a friend of mine (I am not a frequent shopper). I came across a jewelry store with no suspicious people around this time, and found this simple yet beautiful ring. I never knew I will be attracted to such jewelry (think about giving a carabiner instead of a promise ring, which was happily accepted).
I bought it for my new goal to spend the rest of my life with he and settle down. Now the question is, how can I pop the question? I can only wonder…
I'll see when she picks me up at the airport later.
Ja!
