False/True Love 25: And that stop her

If Shu and Ruri doesn't have a bit idea of what was happening between Chitoge and Raku, also Onodera, the way they act in front of everyone as if nothing mattered was very realistic, although they also both know that Onodera was having a hard time about it, mostly Raku because of Chitoge, it's believable that there was nothing wrong - but the thruth is there is a problem. Now that they know that Raku has been experiencing this for almost a month, it made them realize how painful it was for him. Seeing Raku doesn't know what to do but just watched the girl he likes showing him she doesn't care at all anymore about her feelings and his feelings really was a hard thing to do. And it was the thing that always happening after his confrontation with Chitoge that made them think that he really was a tough guy. Really, how many times does Chitoge wants Raku to feel that way; that he is nothing for her?

It hurts to watch the person you love with the fact that you are aware that that person feels the same way, hurts like hell whenever that person is acting as if those feelings doesn't exist. It hurts Raku to see that Chitoge can completely ignore both of their feelings. It always happen. How many times does Raku have to felt that way? Even though it doesn't count that much, yet, still those times that he already felt it is tearing him apart. Then there's a line from Chitoge that adding up in his painful feelings.

"Then give your very best to ignore your feelings once again. Try to turn back times just like before." Was what she told him that day that made him feel like his breath and his heart beat stop at the same moment. He thought that time that his heart will only burst in nervousness not in painfulness.

When he heard that from Chitoge he felt as if there's nothing he can do anymore; it will be pointless. That time, the way she delivered that sentence, he felt that it really is what she wanted to happen; that she will choose for him to forget everything about their feelings and she will do the same way. Raku didn't realize that it will hurt him to know that Chitoge wants them to give up for the sake of his happiness - his happines to be with Onodera.

Meanwhile, in Ondera's point of view, she felt uneasy and it's really hard for her to act as if she doesn't know anything at all to all the questions of their classmate. Although the rumor about them are slowly fading - but only to those students who are not in the same classroom - it can't be help that their classmates since first year days are asking about the truth. She even got hurt when they bluntly told her that there really is nothing about her and Raku and that they believe that the one Raku really like, rather love, is Chitoge. When she heard that comment Ondera felt like perishing from her seat. She felt deaf with her classmates happily laughing with the thought that Raku likes Chitoge and not her. They didn't stop asking her and talking of what they think will happen even though she is not listening at all and as if she just caught sitting there and without a choice have to listen to them. Thinking that they really don't need answers with their questions, Onodera look around the classroom and then saw Chitoge.

She saw how good Chitoge is in acting as if everything is fine and nothing happened at all. Somehow she felt like Chitoge is selfish and doesn't have conscience at all. Onodera thought, "why does she have to act that way even though she knows that there's someone getting hurt?"

Onodera know that Chitoge is feeling hurt too but she also know that she is determined to do whatever she wanted to happen that's why it looks like not hard for her at all. But she knows that deep inside she is hurt, same goes with Raku. Then she turn to look where Raku is seated. She saw how sad and hurt he is in his eyes with the way how he look at Chitoge chatting happily with their classmates that trying to segue that topic about her and Raku but tried to take it as a joke.

Onodera kept her eyes locked on Raku when she suddenly heard something from Chitoge.

"Oh come on! Don't you guys agree that Kosaki-chan is much better than me to be with Raku?" Is what Chitoge said with a fake laugh.

It's not really loud but somehow Onodera heard it loud and clear and it triggered a feeling of anger to her. Somehow there something in the line that Onodera didn't like. Because of that she didn't manage to stop herself and abruptly stand on her seat and slam her palm on her desk that caught everyone's attention.

Without looking to anyone, she start talking, loud enough for everyone to hear, "Why do you have to push him hard over to me? Do you really think that it will make him happy; make me happy? You are being too much Chitoge."

Onodera ended and look up to Chitoge with teary eyes. Everyone got shock in Onodera's action and with the words she throw to Chitoge. They felt how hurt it is on her side and that made them shut theirselves up especially when the tears on her eyes slowly fell down, drops by drops, on her eyes. Seeing her like tearing apart, everyone's attention shifted to Chitoge who's only looking to Onoder with eyes like she is also hurt but at the same time feeling guilty. She felt so guilty and she doesn't know why.

With Onodera's eye sincerely just looking straight to Chitoge and without getting any answer from her, she continued what she wanted to say. It's like it doesn't matter anymore even if everyone is there listening to them. What matters to her is to clear Chitoge's mind and to stop her from hurting herself and to let her realize that it's not only her that she is hurting.

So she continued, "You're really selfish Chitoge-chan. Do you really think that by doing this everything will be settle? The first time I felt like you're helping me to be with Raku, it really made happy and it also made me selfish because I want him to be with me and I'm thankful that you're giving way for us. But..."

Onodera pause and take a glimpse of look to Raku. She doesn't know if he is encouraging her or thanking her, but he gave her a smile. Onodera sniff and wipe away her tears, realizing and accepting the truth hurts her. But she is determined to continue even though she started to feel shy in front of everyone, "But seeing you continuing doing this and pursuing us to be together doesn't make me happy anymore because I know that he won't choose me anymore. So please stop your acting now. I don't wanna get hurt anymore. Chitoge-chan you're not only hurting youself, you're also hurting us and I don't want us to feel this way."

The confession awed everyone and that made them feel sorry for her because of the rumors that was spreading before. Some take it as a joke, but seeing Ondera acting like this made them realize that the rumor about her having feelings for Raku is a fact. Everyone couldn't believe that the story they made isn't just a story but something that really happen. Now that they heard Onodera's side, they felt like they have to help her to stop her pain and also they want them to help Chitoge to overcome her selfishness and cowardice in accepting her true feelings. Why can't she just admit it when everyone is actually already aware about it.

"If you only pity me.."

"No!" Chitoge suddenly shouted to interupt her that made Onoder to stop. Chitoger shifted her eyes to the ground and softly said, "No I don't pity you at all."

It's the truth Chitoge doesn't feel a tiny bit of pityness to Onodera but maybe she symphatize her because, "If you don't pity me then why are you doing this?"

This time Onodera already walk towards Chitoge and is now standing in front of her. Sensing that Onodera is determined to talk about the problem and seeing her acting like she is not Onodera at all, Chitoge felt like she doesn't have any chance to run away anymore because everyone is already made their way to stop her from doing so. Really now, she is still thinking of running away. But if does she really tell what's on her mind does everything will really be okay? She won't know until she try, so she will.

"I don't know. I maybe symphatize you because I know that you've been with him for a long time and you've been in love with him at the same time. The feelings that you both have are mutual and yet I destroyed everything. I felt so guilty that because of me your relationship didn't move forward. I feel so angry for being so dumb and dense to the extent that I didn't realize both of your feelings earlier. If only I didn't come here, if only he didn't have to act as my fake boyfriend then this wouldn't happen. I regret that I came here. That's why I did everything to change everything, or more like tried to turn everything like before for both of you. If only you two cooperated with me then maybe you two are..."

And that slap stop her. You read it right. Slap her. And Ondera did it. Everyone's eyes widen with that action of her especially Chitoge. She can't believe that Onodera did it and she still feel the sting of her slap but then again she doesn't feel any anger towards her because after slapping her, Onodera hug her and said sorry.

"I told you already Chitoge-chan, doing this doesn't make me happy anymore and you know that Ichijou-kun felt the same way. This plan of yours won't be successful anymore. And if you continue this the three of us will only have a mark of pain that won't be erase. It hurt me enough to know that Ichijou-kun doesn't feel the same way anymore for me, so please stop hurting me too." The sound of Onodera felt so painful and breakdown, it really hurts her to the point that she felt like she can't go on anymore if this continue. She doesn't want to cry anymore but she can't stop herself because the two person that is important to her is hurting her. Yes, she is blaming them because it's the truth and that is why it hurt her too much.

Seeing Onodera on that state made Chitoge felt more guilty. Seeing her friend getting hurt because of her did hurt her too. She doesn't know what to do anymore, so Chitoge cried herself out and asked, "The what do you want me to do? I don't wanna hurt the two of you, and this is not what I wanted. But why are you being like this? Why are you getting hurt because of me? I don't know what to do anymore."

A small laugh came out from Onodera's lips when she heard Chitoge cried... like a little kid. She really is a hardheaded girl and yet she is also this kind of weak girl.

"Chitoge-chan you only have to do is accept everything; accept the truth; accept that everything change; and accept that you are the one Ichijou-kun have a feelings for and not me anymore. Yeah it hurts me but I am willing to accept everything, so you also have to because Ichijou-kun already did." Onodera said with a smile on her lips. She is still crying but Chitoge felt what Onodera felt when she said it. She felt that Onodera accepted it whole heartedly and she doesn't regret anything. Looking at her made Chitoge cry even more thinking if she can also do it. Hopefully she can.

"Then will leave you two." A line that suddenly made Chitoge stop with confussion on her mind, and by the sound of locking of the door, she found herself lock in the room with only Raku accompanying her.

»ɴɪƧƏʞȯɪ«

Everyone is already outside and they don't know why but they are happily laughing even though they know that Chitoge is in a pinch inside the room. They are teasing her because she kept on banging the door begging for them to open it but they refuse to do so because they really want to help her overcome her cowardice about the matter that's been happening for a month. It doesn't matter is she gets mad because she can just throw her madness to Raku. They believe that everything will work out now, and they leave everything to Raku. They hope for the best ending and they want that their last year in high school would be the most unforgettable year.

Meanwhile, Ruri can't still believe what she witnessed inside the room. She didn't manage to react at all from that moment because she felt that Onodera really want to let go of what she felt that's why she kept silent and waited for her chance to talk to her and this is her chance now.

"Kosaki what happened? Why did you make a scene like that?" Ruri asked when they get outside the room. They are only standing on the hallway. It really shock Ruri because she didn't know that Onodera had that plan on her mind. And it feels like this is the first time she saw her so bravely facing what occuring ahead of her.

"Because it really hurts me watching Chitoge hurting herself and hurting Ichijou-kun," She answered with a hint of pain in her voice that didn't fade since she started talking with Chitoge, then she added, "and because it also really hurt me too. It hurts too much to the point that I don't want to think anymore about my feelings for Ichijou-kun because I know that it won't work anymore."

Onodera approached the window and look up at the sky, "And so I just suddenly decided that it's time for me to help them this time. Because I don't want them to ended up like me - not being able to convey the feelings earlier than later. I should have listen to you before Ruri."

Ruri stand next to Onodera and gave her a thumbs up and a warm smile, "I didn't know that you are more stronger than Chitoge. I'm so proud of you Kosaki."

"On behalf of Raku, I, Maiko Shu, is happily thanking you for your courageous action earlier Onodera. I knew that without your help Chitoge won't ever accept defeat and will just continue doing what she think is right. It's good for her to know that she is hurting not only Raku but also because if you didn't this won't end well. You made a right decision." Shu said with his rare serious expression and she just agreed with a nod.

"I also thank you Onodera-sama. Just like you, it hurts me to watch Ojou acting like she is fine and doesn't feel hurt at all. But I know deeo inside she is crying and tearing apart. I didn't able to convince her to stop her plan but I'm happy that you made her even though she hurts you a lot. I hope for your forgiveness. I know that she is selfish but her selfishness is actually for someone else." Tsugumi bitterly smile when she think back at the time that Chitoge is trying her best to act normal in front of everyone. It's hard and yet she did it very well even though after that she will cry herself out when she get home.

"I know that Tsugumi and I already forgave her because I know that she only did it because she thought both of us still feel the same way. Hopefully this time her thinking will change. Let's hope for the best together and cheer Ichijou-kun because we all know that this won't be easy for him." Onodera laugh at the thought that Chitoge will really make a hard time for Raku to get her sweet acceptance of being her real boyfriend.

"So frustrating! How did things end up like this? I can't believe it. I really hate that long haired girl gorilla." Marika grittedly said but a small smile also form on her lips. "Oh well, this is also something I predict would happen."

And with that last sentence Marika leave them confuse but just laugh it out.
