Chapter 18: Together Again
"Fumika, never cry in front of me. It makes me sad too." Said Aiana. But tears kept on falling down her cheeks. She kept silent and wiped away her tears. "Fumika, you know how happy I am, when I met you under the old oak tree that day."
Fumika remembered the day under the oak tree, the first time she met Tania. But that was just Tania, it was Ariana now. But Fumika was too sad to answer any o Ariana's questions.
Ariana was about to cry as well, but she forced a smile and said, "I lied, Fumika. I'm sorry." She held Fumika's hand gently, Fumika was about to pull it away, but she didn't want to. Instead, she held Ariana's hand back.
When Fumika felt her hand touching her mother's, she couldn't help but burst into tears, she hug her mother tightly like she use to and cried. Ariana wiped a tear drop that was dripping down her eyes, she hugged Fumika back and said, "We're together again, don't cry anymore."
At the Angelic Layer Battle Arena, "Uh… we seem to have lost them! But what the hack! Um…" muttered the announcer nervously. "Uh… one plus one equals?" asked the announcer.
"Fight! Fight! Fight!" The crowd yelled impatiently. They started to throw their snacks on the announcer. "Ah! Stop it! You all are messing up the place! Stop, I say, stop!" cried the announcer. This made the crowd angrier; they started to throw more food at him
It's not for long when a lady dressed in a grey uniform came in. She whispered a few things to the announcer and walked away. The announcer smiled and nodded, "Everybody, the fighters are back!"
The crowd became silent; soon, Fumika and Ariana were walking into the Arena. The crowd cheered wildly. They were holding hands; they stopped walking and stood in front of the Layer. The spot light shone on them.
Fumika smiled and whispered, "Mom?"
"Yes?" Ariana replied.
"We'll be together again, won't we?" she asked.
Ariana was silent, but she smiled and spoke, "Yes, we shall. We'll be a family again!"
