False/True Love 21: Resolution
【〔。。。。。。。。。。。〕】
Now that Raku already and clearly knew the truth about Chitoge's action and his true feelings for her, what is he supposed to do now? Now that he is sure their feelings are mutual, should he confess? Right away? It won't work especially that there still something he has to do first. Because before everything else, he has to convey his feelings for Onodera... the feelings he has for her before. Even though it's already too late for that he have a feeling that he needed to do it and she have the rights to know about everything; how long he's been in love with her; why did he likes her; and why he doesn't have those feelings anymore.
If think thoroughly, Raku was at fault why their supposed mutual feelings was wasted. Because if he only tried to confess to Onodera, before everything happens, there is a 100% possibility that they are together now and a possibility that he doesn't have to act as Chitoge's fake boyfriend anymore most especially if his family knew about them. But it seems like the story didn't go well on how they wanted it and the destiny and fate gets in their way. However, whether a person believes in destiny and fate, there are still those people who will struggle to fight for what destiny and fate they choose to have. Changing own destiny for those people who doesn't just let everything flow according to it's original plan. And whether Raku just go with the flow or with the original plan of his life, it's for you to judge.
"So what are you going to do now?" Shu asked after hearing of what happened from Raku. Shu is in Raku's house because he insists of going with him when they leave Onodera's house. He even persistently asked him to tell everything. Raku actually doesn't want to share anything but it seems like his best friend already have his own ideas what really happened. He was blabbering what he thinks happened and Raku got wide eyes thinking that Shu's ideas is too accurate to believe, so he decided to tell him, and now he's asking this question.
"What I'm going to do? A good question but I know you already knew what I'm thinking to do." Raku sighed and rested his elbow in his cross legs and put his chin in his palm.
"Are you sure about what you really feel? I mean, don't you really like Onodera anymore?" Same as Raku, Shu did the same act; he faced him and Raku gave him a questioning look, so he continued, "Didn't you think if you're just confused? That you're just getting the wrong idea because of what happened."
"You... you just wanted to confuse me now." Raku grunt then continued, "Of course I also got confuse but that was before. I even don't wanna accept even a little fact that my feelings for Onodera are changing and fading. I can't accept that because you know how much I like her for so long; you know how I wished for her to be my girlfriend. It saddened me to think that those years I'm secretly in love with her are now gone, in spite of that, I can't also push away the feeling I got when I found out that Chitoge likes me. Knowing she likes me more than friend made me feel glad," Shu silently listening and watching his friend made him smile the moment he saw him happily smiling to himself as if imagining how it felt to be confess by her as he continued speaking, "Even though I only knew it by someone, the feeling I had that time felt right. Then I wonder: what will I felt if I heard it coming from her first?"
And that made Raku pause for a moment with serious expression as he remembered what happened in his confrontation with Chitoge. He didn't get a single chance to hear what he wanted from her. She really is stubborn and hardheaded. It's too difficult for him to make her confess. Getting lost in his thoughts, Shu tapped his shoulder to get his attention. Looking back at his friend, he saw one of Shu's rare serious smiles.
"Base on your obviously happy smile, I can guess that what you felt the day you found it from someone else will triple once you heard it coming from her lips and voice. But Raku... you have to make sure to settle what you needed to settle with Onodera first. She's waiting for answer, right? And since you already knew what your answer on her confession, don't make her wait any longer. Man up!" He laughed a little and continued, "And about Kirisaki-san, I think you should confess your feelings first because I don't think she will do it first. And even though you already confess and knew what hers, don't think that everything will be okay after that because I think that it won't get easily okay between you two. So, goodluck!"
Shu tapped his shoulder repeatedly before standing from where he is sitting; sweeping his pants; turn his back and started walking. The moment he step he heard Raku says, "I know!" before standing to follow him and accompanying him outside the house.
Walking away from Raku's house, Shu thinks that that short respond from Raku is surely sounds like he js ready to face whatever going to happen from now on.
。。。『〔》ＮＩＳＥＫＯＩ《〕』。。。
Meanwhile at Onodera's house...
Ruri is with Onodera in her room. For every minute that passed no one dared to speak. Ruri can't ask Onodera how was she; how was the confession; if it goes well; because even without asking she already has a clue of what happened. And the moment Onodera started sobbing and cried out loud made Ruri believe that what she thought happened is right. Onodera burst into tears while Ruri gave her a hug and let her complaint like a child mad at her playmate.
"Ruri-chan... waaaaaa~" Onodera cried and continued between her sobs, "I thought he will be happy once he knew that I like him. I thought he likes me too. I thought there is a chance that we can be together... waaaaa~ but I was wrong, it's just my thought; I just assumed. When I told him I like him; when I saw his reaction, I felt like he can't accept what I felt for him; felt like I'm already too late; and I know it's because of Chitoge. Ruri-chan it's so painful; it hurts; the pain is killing me. I blame no one and I can't be mad especially to Chitoge because I know she's not at fault. But now that I think about it, it really is frustrating that because of her coming in Japan and them acting as 'fake lovers' didn't gave me a chance to let Ichijou-kun knows what I felt for him. If only I listened to you before everything happened, maybe I'm not here now crying like a baby and feeling hurt."
Onodera keep on crying and Ruri didn't remove her from hugging while rubbing her back trying to calm her down. Seeing her best friend in pain, a small drop of tears is falling from her eyes too. She can't do anything; she even doesn't know what to say to lighten her pain because she knows there's nothing she can do anymore to make Onodera and Raku be together. She also knew that it's already too late for them. Ruri felt so hopeless so she just tigthen her hug to Onodera and told her, "Everything will be okay; I'll always be by your side."
Crying out loud and having Ruri by her side hugging her made Onodera feel a little better. She calmed down but still in tears and hugging Ruri and said, "I know! That's why you have to ready yourself the second time I will cried harder than today."
She jokingly said and laughed sobbing ready to cry again. Then Ruri pushed her little to face her and ask, "What do you mean?"
"I mean the day that Ichijou-kun will give his answer to my confession." Onodera tried to smile but ended up crying more.
"Are you sure? But Kosaki you'll just get more..." Ruri didn't manage to complete her words when Onodera shook her head.
"It's okay! You'll be with me, right? Also I will feel better to know what his answer; what he really felt. I wanted to know what he felt when he found out that I like him. And I wanted to know the reason why..." Thinking that she already knows Raku's reason made Onodera felt the pain even more and just hugged Ruri once again.
"I understand. If that so be strong Kosaki; don't cry in front of Raku as hard as you want; show him you're strong... because we both know how he give importance to the feelings of his friend." Is the only advice that Ruri manage to tell to her friend. Because as of this moment, the only thing she thinks she can give to her is being with her no matter what happen and assure her that everything will be okay and go back to normal.
'The years they've been in love with each other just wasted. If only I pursued more on them getting together maybe it didn't lead this way.' Ruri thought but also thinking if ever she succeeds: is it going to secure that nothing will change? Probably.
。。。『〔》ＮＩＳＥＫＯＩ《〕』。。。
At Chitoge's mansion...
The gang are wondering why Chitoge look so furious the moment she enter. She asked them where her Dad, Tsugumi and Claude. And when they answered her, she ordered them to look for Claude and Tsugumi and tell them to meet her at her Dad's office since he was there. Chitoge went to her Dad's office; she opened the door and enters. Ardelt look at her wondering what she need and why Chitoge is looking at him mad. He watched her walking towards her and got startled a little when she slam her palm in his table at the same time the door opened again and Tsugumi and Claude enter excusing themselves.
"Ojou." Tsugumi and Claude said in unison.
"Ojou you look furious, is something wrong?" Tsugumi asked when she approached her.
"Yes there is; a big one. Can anyone of you tell me who told Raku every little thing about our secret?" Chitoge asked without hesitation. But it seems like the three people she asked looks really does confuse about what she said.
"What do you mean Chitoge?" Ardelt asked, an unnoticable small smile forming in his lips as if he have idea who the person is.
"What I mean is Raku said to me that someone told him everything; as in the real reason why the supposed 3 years suddenly ended. And you guys is the only persons who knew about it." Chitoge frustrated said and can hear in her voice that she is really annoyed.
"Ojou you know how loyal I am to you. You also knew that even though I know you are hurting, eh, I can't accept the reality that you... love... that boy and there is no way I'm telling that to him... But Ojou there's also a chance that I can tell it to him especially if I saw you in pain..." Chitoge's eyes widened. She actually can't believe what she's hearing. She thought Claude will never do that because just like what he said, he is the most loyal servant in the family. Thinking that he is the one who revealed everything to Raku, Chitoge is ready to preach him for doing that but she didn't even get a chance to start when Claude added, "But seeing you trying your best to be strong about your decision, I decided not to do anything."
"I agree! Even though we all know that you are hurting inside. If only I can do whatever I want, I won't hesitate to tell Ichijou Raku the truth. I'm sorry Ojou but I'm actually glad to that someone. If Ichijou Raku really knew the real reason then it's his decision what to do about it and for you to handle whatever it is." Tsugumi added. Chitoge believe that it's not also Tsugumi, and yeah it's not Claude either because — well, everyone knows he doesn't like Raku for Chitoge. And it also not Tsugumi because she is the first person who knew about her feelings for Raku and if she really wants to tell it to him, she should have tell it before everything happened because she is with her when she planned everything. Then Chitoge suspiciously look at her Dad that already shook his head.
"It's not me either. You know I won't add any more painful feelings to the decision you made. Don't you think it's Ryu?" Ardelt question that made Claude grunt and think that is possible in so many ways. But Chitoge answered him without any thinking.
"I don't think so." She said making the three people in front of her wondering why she sounds so sure about it. Well, it's because they didn't know that among them, Chitoge tell something more to Ryu to make sure he securely won't say her secret to his Bouchan. Also because compare to the three people in front of her now and always standing by near her, she is sure that she can trust them. It's not like she don't trust Ryu, it's just nothing can beat Ryu's loyalty to his Bouchan.
Maybe she just only gets agitated when Raku confront her. Chitoge sigh in relief and said, "Maybe Raku really is just bluffing to make me confess the truth."
"Well whether he is bluffing or not, what he's trying to tell to you is the truth anyway. If he is so determined to found out the truth, then maybe he has his own reasons too and that maybe is... you know..." Ardelt raised his brow up and down making Chitoge look at him more annoyed. He just smiled at her and encouragingly said, "Why don't you confess?"
"Not going to happen." Chitoge answered and decided to exit the office because she knows that her Dad will just keep on bugging her to confess and insist that there is a possibility that Raku also likes her.
How is she going to believe with that possibility if... Oh nevermind!
。。。『〔》ＮＩＳＥＫＯＩ《〕』。。。
Everyone have their resolution now of what to do next. Raku giving his answer to Onodera and then confess to Chitoge. Onodera wanting to know Raku's answer to her confession and the reason whatever why is that. And then Chitoge, continuing on pretending she doesn't have any feelings; that she didn't know anything; and pretending everything is alright around her.
Once Raku tell Onodera everything, will Onodera just accept it? If Raku confess his feelings for Chitoge, will Chitoge admit she feels the same?
If Onodera found out that Chitoge also likes Raku, what she'll do; will she have the reason now to get mad because she lied to her; or will she let go of her feelings for them? If Chitoge continued pretending she doesn't know anything, will Raku just let it be and do nothing? And if Chitoge found out that Onodera knew she likes Raku too, what is she going to tell her?
Love triangle that doesn't have an accurate answer of what is going to happen. Who will win and who will lose in the war of love.
