And the final wrap-up to this story! Jason gets a happy ending!


Chapter 32: Best is Yet to Come

One month later

Mako, Max and Headmaster Wing brought Jason over blindfolded to give him a little surprise and Jason had no clue on what's going on and he kept asking what the surprise is and Mako replied, "It's a surprise, Jason. Trust us...it'll be one you won't forget."

A few minutes later, they finally reached this one place that's about a few miles from the MMA facility and closer to the Bushido-Akio home and finally, they stopped and Jason asked, "When do I see it?"

Mako and Max took off Jason's blindfold while Headmaster Wing replied, "Right now."

The minute Jason opened his eyes, shock overpowered him with a deep gasp as he looked at this one house that's completely his own and he was speechless and amazed that this is his and Max asked, "Too stunned to speak?"

Jason nodded his head, confirming his shock and surprise as he slowly walked towards the house and as he stepped foot there and entered the inside of the house, it was completely different from the apartment room he used to have at the MMA facility and it was all overwhelming for him, but in a good way.

"What do you think?" asked Mako.

Jason turned around for a second and faced them with misty eyes and he said, "Are you guys serious?"

"Yep. Very serious. It's really your house that you can live in." Headmaster Wing replied.

It took several seconds for Jason to get a response because he's overwhelmed with deep, pure emotion and he had always wanted to have a place of his own, but couldn't afford to do so and Mako said, "We built it specifically for you as a token of appreciation for teaching my son MMA and self defense. It was all Max's idea."

Jason looked at Max and he couldn't be any more happier and he walked towards him, went down on his level and he said, "I really appreciate this. You did this for me?"

"Of course. I see you as my best friend and a teacher at the same time." Max replied, with a smile.

"I never thought that what I would do could impact someone like you. I had thought that I did this as a second chance to start my new life and now I have the place to do that. I don't have so much words to say other than thank you guys so much and you don't know how much it really means to me and I'm so humbled for this. I want to thank you guys from the bottom of my heart for this one act of kindness for me." Jason said, tearfully.

"Anytime." Max said, happily.

With that, Jason couldn't resist coming at Max and give out a big hug and he embraced the hug so deeply and after that, Mako said, "Enjoy your new home and your new life, son."

"I know I will. Thank you." Jason said, happily.

With that, Max, Mako and Wing left the house, but not before Max said, "I'll see you at the MMA ring tomorrow."

"Count on it." Jason said, with a smile.
