The Dare

Chapter 20:

All I need Is You

In the church..

"Miss, please do explain to me what happened before Yumi and Natsume's marriage" Yumi's father commanded Mikan softly as his heart pumps to its fastest.

"With all my respect sir, I want to be honest and true to you sir, Natsume and Yumi have been engaged since they were young right?"

Yumi's father raised a brow and nodded, "Sir, but non of them knew about it right?" Again, Yumi's father nodded.

"Natsume and I loved each other ever since…but one day he hurt me, demo, after many years, we meet again, I don't know but I think it was fate, and we realized that time, that no one, can break the love we are feeling for each other… that until now, we still love each other.." Mikan ended, tears falling from her little eyes.

Yumi's father remained open-mouthed at what Mikan said, he went back to his senses and at that time, he sensed that this girl, infront of him was something more precious than just ordinary, she was someone important, that this girl, was honest and true to him, he pitied her, he knew that his own daughter was the one who was wrong, that he was also wrong. "Dear child.."

He whispered softly.

Mikan looked up and looked at the eyes of the man infront of her, "N-Nani..?"

Yumi's father put his hand on Mikan's shoulder, "From now on.. Natsume, Natsume Hyuuga is fully yours.."

Yumi's mother's eyes sprang wide, she looked at her husband and pulled his shirt, "Dear!"

Yumi's father held Yumi's mother's hand, "Dear, it's us who're wrong.. this girl" He pointed to Mikan, "Deserves Natsume, and they have a family."

Mikan was about to smile but then, she asked herself, Where is Yumi? What about Hotaru? She ran out of the church not bother to say goodbye to Yumi's parents.

She walked around the church ground and finally, in a dark corner, she found what she was looking for, two figures hugging each other, "H- Hotaru-chan.."

Hotaru opened her eyes and was surprised to see Mikan, she quickly let go of Yumi and went to Mikan. She grabbed Mikan's hand and pulled her to Yumi, "Mikan-chan, Yumi wants to say something to you.."

In the church..

"Natsume"

Natsume turned to look at Yumi's father, "Uncle, I'm really sorry to disappoint you, to hurt you, and to hurt your daughter.."

Yumi's father hugged Natsume tightly, "She loved you so much that she forgot about your freedom, she never thought about it, but now, I know that Yumi's clean heart still remains in her, and I do believe, she'll set you free.."

"Ojii-san…"

"Natsume, go ahead…. Go after your Mikan"

"A-Arigato ojii-san!" And with that he also ran out of the church.

Back to the garden..

Yumi stared at Mikan, afraid, guilty and willing to apologize, but then, she was too shy to. "M-Mikan.."

Mikan knelt infront of her ex-enemy, "Yumi-chan.." She held her hand and kissed it, "I want us to be friends… but I hope you understand, that sometimes that you'll have to set Natsume free … but even though we love the same man, I hope our friendship will not be separated because of –"

Yumi forced a cheerful smile on her face, "Shhh Mikan-chan! Natsume, I give him fully to you, forever…. I don't want to be selfish anymore.. I want him to be happy with you… I know, that with you, he'll be satisfied, that with you, he'll be happy, that with you, he'll be inlove, that with you, he's life is complete.."

"Yu- Yumi-san.."

Yumi stood up and pulled Mikan up and embraced her, she continued to weep, "Mikan… please take care of him… he's not for me and I know that I'll find that someone for me someday… I hope that you're going to be happy with him…"

Natsume at last arrived at the place where his friends and true love are, but he froze when he saw what was happening, inside he felt happy, Yumi… arigato…

Yumi noticed Natsume looking at them and even if it hurts, she beamed and stopped hugging Mikan, she pushed Mikan to Natsume gracefully, "Go… go inside this elegant church.. and vow to yourselves that you'll be together forever… vow this… to God"

Natsume and Mikan smiled to each other and …. Natsume leaned closely to Mikan and put his arms around her waist, he looked deeply in her eyes and he kissed her. "Aishiteru……"

Meanwhile.. behind the kissing couple stared a girl with raven hair, and.. a teardrop fell from her eyes, she walked away and wished goodluck to the new couple secretly in her heart, You guys, goodluck…I hope that you'll stay together forever…

Hotaru wasn't paying attention while she was walking so she bumped into a person, but this person wasn't ordinary, this person was a boy with blonde hair who loved pets, "Hotaru..?"

Hotaru stopped on her tracks and quickly looked up, her heart pumping fast, "R-Ruka.." She blushed several shades of red.

Ruka held her hand and kneeled infront of her, "Hotaru, I want to tell you something.."

Hotaru opened her mouth but nothing came out from her mouth, so there she stood, her face showed blank expression and her body getting hot at the same time cold.

Ruka took her hand and kissed it, "Hotaru, I.. I-"

Hotaru knew inside what Ruka was going to say, her heart pumped faster than ever, Is he going to confess? I know this feeling … I definitely know this…. "Ruka.."

Ruka stood and gave Hotaru a peck on the cheeks, "I just want to say I love you.." And he walked away, leaving Hotaru a little dumbfounded, she brought out a hand, was about to run after Ruka when she fell down to the ground because her foot got stuck into a stone, "Ouch!!!!!!!!!!"

Ruka immediately turned around and giggled when he saw Hotaru on the floor, he bent his knees and tried to pull Hotaru out of the stone, but he pulled her too hard that she fell on top of him, they stared at each others eyes…

Behind the bushes stared a happy pair of eyes, it belonged to the ex-fiancee of the groom inside the church now, Sometimes we may be lucky in life and yet sometimes unlucky.. but then, no matter how hard life is, we should never give up nor break down, we should trust destiny to where it'll take us, I know that there are different paths we'll take in our life, but yet, after, it'll lead to only one thing, happiness… and that'll only happen if we lived our life to the fullest and accepted it whole-heartedly… In my experiences in life, I now know that love is a tricky feeling, every emotion can be felt just be having love in your heart…. And sometimes, we get too selfish that we forget about everybody else but ourselves…… and if you're destined together, then nothing can separate you, and that destiny will never separate itself… Yumi closed her eyes and looked at the ocean behind her, And for me. I know that someday, I'll also find my prince, he shall bow before me, and tell me he loves me.. and he'll love me forever….and in his heart, his feelings to me live truly…but I'll never forget those things that you taught me, Hotaru, Mikan and most of all.. Natsume.
