Chapter 14: Her Answer
"I love you."
Sakuno's eyes widened. She couldn't believe that Tezuka just said those 3 words to her. Her heart starts to beat faster. She looked at Tezuka. He was still standing there waiting for her response. His eyes held nervousness and were hopeful.
'What should I say?' She began to panic.
"Sakuno, are you okay?" Tezuka asked when he saw her in a daze.
Sakuno snapped out of her daze and blushed. "I'm okay."
"It's alright if you don't feel the same way about me. I'll understand," Tezuka said, somewhat disappointed.
Sakuno felt a pang in her heart when she saw his disappointed face.
"When the time comes, just listen to your heart. It always has the answer."
She remembered Fuji's words. Sakuno thought back on all the times she spent with Tezuka. She had missed him when he left and she was extremely happy when he came back. She feels warm and happy whenever he's around. She now knows how she feels towards Tezuka.
Seeing no response from Sakuno, Tezuka felt dejected. He turned to leave when he felt someone holding his wrist. He turned back and saw that it was Sakuno. Both her hands were gripping his wrist and her head was down.
"Sakuno?" he asked tentatively.
Sakuno looked up to him, her cheeks tinted red. "I…I love you too."
Tezuka couldn't believe his ears. "Really?" he asked.
She smiled shyly at him as she nodded. Tezuka embraced her lovingly. He pulled away slightly and looked into her eyes. He let out one of his rare smiles. Sakuno smiled back. He leaned in and kissed her on the lips.

"Did you get that?" Ryoma asked the man crouching beside him.
"Of course. Wouldn't miss it," Fuji replied as he took pictures of the happy couple.
"Mada mada dane."

Tezuka and Sakuno came back to the tennis court holding hands.
"Saa…what do we have here?" Fuji teased them.
Sakuno blushed and looked at Tezuka. "We're together now," he answered with a straight face.
"So, I guess you guys are going to make the engagement official then?" Ryoma asked.
Tezuka and Sakuno looked at each other. "Yes," Tezuka replied. He squeezed Sakuno's hand and gave her a smile.
