Epilogue:
Tsuna's P.O.V.
It has been 10 years now and still I wasn't able to talk to Sumi in person. The last time I got information about her whereabouts, she had been in New York. Currently, I am going to attend a special party dedicated to Dino for his 32nd birthday. I am really excited and guess what, I'm going alone. I mean all my guardians will be there with me but I'm going there not with Kyoko. Kyoko and I broke up before we finish middle school because she told me that our relationship will not work because I like Sumi.
While I am walking down the stairs of the Vongola mansion, I look at everyone and it seems that they are all ready. We got into the car and drive to Dino's birthday party. As we travel, I am looking forward to see Enma and the rest of the Shimon. It has been five years since I last saw them. I was wondering how they are.
When we reach the place, I was spotted by Dino. He has been a great ally to me together with his famiglia. As we walk inside, I saw Belphegor walking to me while the rest of the Varia is talking to each other.
"Ushishishi~ how are you? It's been a long time." Belphegor said
"Yeah I know. I'm quite fine." I replied
"So the darling French doll is not with you. I am looking forward to see her." Belphegor said
"It's a long story you know." I replied
"I know the story. Mia principessa moves to France." Belphegor said
"How come you know?" I asked
"Ushishishi~ of course I know, I grew quite interested to mia principessa and I think I'm planning to make her a real princess if I have a chance." Belphegor said
"Is that so? Then let's wait for that time." I said
"I think you have a competition to Sumi- chan." Dino said
"I think so." I replied
"By the way, the Shimon boss is currently on his way here." Dino said
"That's great! I'm looking forward to catch up with him." I replied
"I will just leave you for awhile; I'm going to entertain some guests." Dino said
When he's gone, we just go to the table that is designated to us. I am looking happily at the venue because it is really full of joy. People are enjoying and I hope I can enjoy it too.
After thirty minutes, Dino comes back to us with a smiling face. I wonder why but I think he is telling good news.
"Tsuna, the Shimon boss is here." Dino said
We join Dino to the place he is talking about and there I saw a familiar red hair. I smile when I caught sight of Enma but it falters when I saw a girl with a familiar light brown hair that was curled perfectly.
"Tsuna, the girl with him is really beautiful right?" Dino asked
At that point, my whole world stops especially when the both of them face us. My heart sank and it is breaking.
"It's been a long time Tsuna." Sumi said
I look at her and she had grown into a fine beautiful young woman. Right now my mind is full of questions. What is she doing with Enma?
"Yeah it is. So how are you?" I asked
"I'm doing great! How about you?" she asked
How about me? Sumi I'm not fine. I'm broken. I'm broken into pieces by you.
"I'm fine too." I replied
"That's great!" Sumi replied
"Sumi, may I ask, what are you doing with Enma?" Gokudera asked
"Oh, I am planning to tell this to you when I come back to Japan but I think it will be an early announcement. I am becoming the next Mrs. Kozato. Enma and I are engaged. Tsuna, minna- san, I want to invite you to my wedding and Tsuna- fish, can you be our best man?" Sumi said
At this point, I want to cry. I remain silent. I look at Sumi and she's smiling to me. My gaze averted to the ring to her left hand. It is her engagement ring.
"Tsuna?" Sumi asked in a worried tone when I am not answering
"Of course I am. It will be my honour to be my best friend's best man in her wedding." I replied
"Thank you Tsuna- kun! I promise that I will volunteer myself in your wedding with Kyoko- chan!" Sumi said
"Uhmmm Sumi- san, Kyoko and Tsuna aren't together anymore." Yamamoto said
"What had happened? I miss a lot of things." Sumi said
Yes Sumi, you had missed a lot. You had missed the day I was about to tell you that I love you when you left and I plan to tell it when you come back but right now you are in someone's arms.
"It's a long story." I said
"Don't worry Tsuna! There will be someone out there that deserves you!" Sumi said
You are the only person I want to be with. Why Sumi? Why?
"Thank you." I replied
Enma whispered something to Sumi's ear and she had nod in agreement. Sumi was escorted by Adelheid to somewhere and it was Enma who is left alone.
"Tsuna, I know what you feel right now." Enma said
"Really?" I asked
"Of course I am. I had felt that before." Enma said
"I wish that I can change the past." I said
"I am not the right person to say this to you but, if you had realized earlier, you will be the one who will stand in my position right now." Enma said
"How come the two of you met?" I asked
"I met her last three years in France. I saw her there." Enma said
"I see. I am happy for the both of you. Please take care of Sumi for me." I said
"I will." Enma said as he follows his famiglia
When he's gone, I feel a tap on my shoulder. I saw Gokudera looking worried to me same with the others. I never expect this and no one among us expect it.
"Tenth, are you alright?" Gokudera asked
"Yeah I am." I replied
"Tsuna, why not take a seat for awhile." Yamamoto said
"You know, I wish that I am the one sitting beside her." I whispered
"Tenth…" Gokudera whispered
"I wish that I am the one who will make her happy in the rest of her of life. I wish that I can change the past. I wish that I had known earlier. I wish that I had noticed her. Now she's gone. She's now too far away from my grasp. Sooner or later she will be married. She will not become Sumi Sawada anymore but Sumi Kozato. I wish everything will go back to the time that she's near to me." I said
"Tsuna, don't blame yourself." Yamamoto said
"Sumi and I… the word forever and always is not meant for us…" I whispered
I silently cry inside. I don't want to show it. Forever and always with Sumi is just a dream right now. Right now, I am currently hoping that though we're not able to be together, I can be stay by her side as a silent knight who will secretly protects her from this bloody world she had joined in.
I am making this vow that she will be the last girl in the world that I will love. She will remain as the girl who can break and heal me at the same time. She will be my inspiration and my destruction at the same time. She will be my life and death. She will remain my forever and I will remain hers forever.
~End~
This is the last chapter and I am happy that I was able to finish this. Well, I'm planning to have a sequel but I think it will take a longer time because I am very busy especially exams are next week.
