Chapter 25 – Take a Vow

Meanwhile on the H.A. Tower, Karuto is very happy to meet her love Gon. She is walking in the hallway through Gon's room when suddenly she see his brother Irumi entered the room. She ran towards there but she remained in a doorstep. She wanted to hear the conversation inside so she put her ear near from the closed door.

"I know your relationship with my sister Karuto, Gon Freecs. I will keep the relationship secret if you do what I want."

"What is it?"

"Don't let Karuto go to Kukulu Mountain until my wedding is over."

A wedding? With whom? Karuto stop for a moment to think.

"I cannot guard Karuto now, Hunter Association has a plan of sending me in a Hunter Exam that will be held in Europe, and the time of departure will be next day."

What?! No! Karuto got depressed with what she heard. She doesn't want to be far from Gon's side.

"Then talk to her before you leave or why don't you just bring her with you?"

"I'm afraid I cannot do that. Karuto has a life of her own. Besides, Hunter Association will surely not let me do such thing. You must know it; you're one of the council."

"How long would it take?"

"I have no idea. There were lots of changes now and I'm sure it will take long compare to the past exams."

"Did Karuto already know about it?"

"I'm planning to tell it now so you better get out of here before you'll catch up by her."

Karuto immediately step out and went to the room beside Gon's room. Kurapica walk towards her and greet her with a smile but she can't smile back.

"Gon already tell about hunter association's plan?" Kurapica guessed.

Karuto shook her heard. "I accidentally heard it…" she replied sadly.

"It really happens in every relationship, Karuto but you must conquer all the challenges that will come into your love life."

"I don't want to be far from Gon, Kurapica. I can't live without him…"

Kurapica breathe hard. "I know it hurts at first but I know sooner or later you'll realize that this challenge will keep the relationship stronger. Go back there and talk to him," smiled Kurapica.

"Thank you for listening and for the words…" she said then went directly in Gon's room. There is no sign of her brother Irumi, anymore. Gon walk towards her and give her a smack on her lips.

"You haven't change at all!" he said while locking the door.

"I'm sorry but promise when you come back I already knows how to knock first before entering a room," she said and sat down on the bed.

Gon looked at her meaningfully. "So you've heard my conversation with your brother Irumi," said Gon. She just nodded. Gon sighed. "I don't know how long it will take but I will give you an assurance." She got confused with Gon's last statement but she waited for an explanation. He sat down beside her and looks at her eye straightly. "I love you so much, Karuto though it hurts having a life far from your side I just want you to know that marrying you is just an assurance I could give you. So please marry me tomorrow…"

She cannot talk because of shock and after a few minutes, she managed to reply. "A-Are you sure?" she could hardly believe it. Instead of answering her, Gon hug her closely and kiss her passionately.

"I was supposed to make it since our first lovemaking but I know that's not the right time yet. I know the right time is now and at this very moment."

"Oh Gon…" She embraces him tightly and tears run down from her eyes. "I wanted to marry you…I love you very much Gon…" Their eyes met and suddenly she is now lying on bed while Gon on her top. They were busy kissing each other and they were sharing a very passionate lovemaking…Gon was her first and will also be the last…I love you so much Gon…

In their church wedding ceremony that held at Gon's hometown, only Aunt Mito, Kurapica, Leorio and Tomoyo with her boyfriend have given the chance to witness the special event of their lives. Gon secretly planned the date, the gowns and all the stuff in this wedding ceremony with these five particular visitors. She is the happiest woman in the entire world when the priest announced that she and Gon are already married. However, when the night has come, she cries so much because his new husband Gon will going to depart tomorrow morning with Kurapica and Leorio for the hunter exams in Europe. She cries over and over again until dawn.

Gon wipe the tears of his wife. "Just always remember that I love you so much, Karuto. Stop crying now because it hurts me…" Karuto was continuously sobbing. She feels the warmth embrace of Gon. "I promise you that when I come back I will leave hunter association for us to live normal with our future children."

Karuto wipe her tears. "I love you…Take care of yourself…"

"That's it. Be braved." Gon look at his Aunt Mito. "Please take care of my wife, Aunt Mito,"

"You can count on me, Gon. We'll wait for you to come back."

Karuto tried to be brave while watching Gon and his buddies' walking away from where she's standing with Aunt Mito beside her. She is praying for their safety and hoping that the hunter exam will finish as soon as possible.
