---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Recap of preview : Pirika has died . Horo Horo could not believe so and Ren is in heart tormenting despair .

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" REN , YOU RETURN ME MY SISTER ! " Horo Horo yelled as he harshly shook Ren .

Ren was speechless . Pirika had died . How had he become so in love with her to such an extent of pain ? Pirika was gone forever . He could not come to terms with it . The only person he ever truly cared for was gone . She now laid in the ground . The day had passed by with him being beaten up by Horo Horo . It had perhaps lessen the pain but never replace it . Pirika was gone .

Ren had not gone to school for two days . Yolika expected that and was exhilarated at the chance she now had . The true chance to get what she wants . Ren . Handsome Ren , Intelligent Ren , Harsh Ren . LOVELY LOVELY REN . It had already became a competition of who would win and she won ! How wonderful and proud she was . At this thought , Yolika spun on the floor of the hall . Enthralled and elated . After a time , no boys were willing to chase her . They were utterly disgusted at her repulsive and obsessive behaviour of making Ren hers . Yolika in their hearts had became a monster , her beauty was day by day mutuated into an ugly mask .

After Pirika died at the hospital , Ren sent hoards of top notch detectives and researchers to check on Pirika's death . He must know who was behind Pirika's death . His doctors had affirmed that Pirika's death was certainly not natural or from diseases , she was drugged . Frintenite , white powder . That was what he was told . Ren glared at the end results of their research . Yolika .

Ren took the phone and called the police . He sent his secretary to give them all the information found . He was in no mood for all this . He was too tired already . Mentally and physically .

The police upon recieving the call and information , went to arrest Yolika . When Yolika saw the police , she ran around the school , pulling all her hair out on the way . Yolika was crazy . When the police finally got her , Yolika's scalp was a bloody pach . She laughing and screaming all the way as the police officers tied her her and cuffed her . She was to be sent to a mental hospital . Condition critical .

Ren was at home on the couch watching television which he usually doesn't . He didn't want to think too much . Television gives that . It rots .

The Great Spirits were watching from above . All that happenned . They were immensely touched . And so , they've decided to bring Pirika back to life and to return to her beloved Ren . BUT ON ONE CONDITION . Ren would have to give up all his inheritance and wealth , to live with Pirika . After so , they sent a dream message down to Ren . That he must abandon all his wealth , and the things he now has , to go to the lion city without any help of his previous wealth . From Japan to the lion city without any money he now has . Pirika would be waiting for him at Mount Faber .

"You'll only have three months time to reach Faber . " and that's the last phrase that the messenger left with him .

That day , when Ren woke up . He ate his breakfast and went into his parents' house . He bade them goodbye . His mother begged him to stay or perhaps to use money to travel there . His father watched him motionlessly and uncaringly as he left . Lion city , as his researchers have found , is a small island on the map named Singapore . Mount Faber is the highest peak there . But first , he had to earn his own coin . He went in search of jobs .

Ren sloughed hard . He worked day and night . His hands were rough and wrinkled from work . His sharp hair , now a purple waste . His face paled from malnutrition . Ren rejected every job that his mother had her hands on . His employers yelled and kicked him , but still he strived on . Ren worked day and night . He lived on the benches and seats in the parks . He ate very little . His clothings were torn and worn , his shoe had a huge cracks on them . Still , he strived on . Pirika .

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Five days before the dead line , Ren had finally earn enough money . He is now humbled . Ren quited all his jobs and went to the airport . He got an air ticket and proceeded to boarding the plane . Pirika . He boarded the airplane all pale and wrinkly . The air stewardess all shunned him and so did the people around him . Ren was already so used to this .

The plane had finally arrived in Singapore . He went down the airplane and felt the coins in his pocket . He only had coins and a passport . Ren walked out of the airport into an unfamiliar place . He walked out of the airport territory . There was no one in sight . Ren was in despair . After so many months and now , I still can't find Pirika . Yet he continued to walk on . Finally he reached a bus stop and saw some people . The people there were mostly silently waiting for a bus . They did not shun him , however , the mild expressions on their faces showed their held on displeasure . Ren walked to a young , rich looking teenage girl .

He asked for the directions to Mount Faber . The girl put her hand to her nose but later embarassingly put it down . She apologised to him stating that he really smell but offered in apology to sent him to Mount Faber . And so , both of them took the local taxi and went to Mount Faber . It was a very tall hill , and Ren had to climb up to the very top , even in such an exhausted body . He had to . And he will . It was such a will that enabled him to strive on no matter the obstacles . The young teenager bid him well and went off .

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ren climbed the treacherous mountain track . He pushed his already exhausted body hard . Ren tripped and fell any times . Many times did he lost his consciousness . Only one day left . He could not afford to lose his consciousness yet again . His worn out mind watched carefully on the road for roots and vines . Finally after an aeon , Ren reached the top . The Great Spirits were impressed . They made a brand new clone of Pirika's body and placed Pirikas' soul in it . Pirika then appeared at the spot next to Ren .

" Ren kun ! "

Ren hugged Pirika tight and Pirika returned the hug .

Ren gave a feeble smile and fainted in Pirika's arms . The Great Spirits have already foreseen this and transported him back to his parents . Ren's mother immediately sent him to the hospital . She with Pirika accompanied him on his way . Pirika was sitting on the left side while Ran tao was on the other . Ren regained his consciousness for a slight moment . He looked to the right side and did not spot Pirika . His heart clenched tight . Where is Pirika ? Have I lost her again ? Just then , Pirika held onto Ren's hand and kissed him lightly on the fore head . Ren turned over and saw Pirika . Pirika . He tried to smile but failed to do so as he lost consciousness again .

And so , eventually Ren recovered to his original pink of health with Pirika lovingly at his side . And at the end of their two year agreement , Ren slipped a diamond ring on Pirika's finger . He had made it on his own with Tiffany experts . And so , he kissed his bride to an eternal love .

" Come . "

" To where Ren kun ? "

" To forever . "

The End .
