THREE

Dojou is someone whos just as akward as Iku. Everybody know that, theyre exactly the same.

"Im worried about her!"

"We are engaged! Not married!"

"Still! Are you living in a 1800's?!"

"Shes not ready"

"Oh really? She is or youre the on not ready?!"

Dojou couldnt talk back to that words. It entertain Komaki as always.

"Tezuka, I dont think you should push him that far." He try to help his bestfriend. "Rather not ready for doing it, I think hes not ready to talk about it to her."

Dojou clear his throat.

"Ehm, I think so. You know her, shes even getting nervous when I walk beside her."

"So you wanna do it?"

Dojou's heart can never stop skip a beat everytime hes having a chat with Komaki and Asako.

"Are you seriously asking such question to me?" he look at Tezuka whos sit beside him He actually hope Tezuka would stop her. But he say nothing and Asako keep smilling, waiting for an answer. "Its always up to her. I do what she wants."

He look away from Asako who sit infront of him.

"She want it!"

"That doesnt mean I can rape her silly! She could die of nervousness!"

He yell Asako while his face got red. Komaki and Asako shocked.

"Wait, dont tell me."
Komaki's words cut as he saw Dojou's face look hurt. Asako's attempt to make him rape her actually make Dojou's mind flew at the time he propose to Iku.

Hes still kneeling down, in rain, lowering his face while Iku look at him with her eyes widened and mouth opened. She cant believe shes seeing a little box opened with a diamond ring in it. After realizing she give no response, Dojou look up to her and saw that expression from her face. Hes surpried as he took that expresion as terrified.

"Sorry, I know its too early. We should have,"

He stood up and look away from her.

"No!" But Iku hurriedly cut his words."I mean, you did nothing wrong." Her hands which holding the white umbrella tremble. "Im happy, Im really is." And tears start flowing from her eyes.

Once again, his eyes widened but then he smiled while trying to hold back his tears.

"Im about to cry as hard as this rain you know." He get under her umbrella and kiss her. "I thought you are going to abandoned me"

"Theres, theres no way I could ever reject that kind of confession sir!"
she close her eyes tightly and salute. And so, the beautiful white umbrella flew with the strong wind. That makes Dojou chuckle and Iku's drenched face keep getting red as she always think Dojou's smilling face are so adorable.

"You now just as drenched as I am." He began to kiss her neck and that make Iku lean on the edge of the bridge. "I dont think I could stop this."

Iku could feel her eyes spinning because of nervous overload and as she felt Dojou's hand carress her hip, she do nothing but push him and yell.

"Dont touch me!" Dojou stunned. Iku's force not strong enough to push his body away, but he still do it. He could see Iku's trembling and her eyes shut thightly. Iku felt his body not pushing her body to the bridge anymore. She open her eyes slowly and she find Dojou's hurt face. Its even worse from what she used to see. She feel so guilty. "I, Im sorry." She stuttered.

"What? Its ok. Im sorry that I scare you." Dojou start to walk and hold her hand but Iku snatch her hand back. It shocked Dojou again and it stab his heart evevn more. But he dont want the girl he love to feel guilty. So without saying a thing, he clenched his hand and start to walk. "We should cover ourself from the rain. You could get sick."

"Asako, apologize."

"Wha?!" Asako look at her husband but he glare back. "Im sorry sir."

Dojou mind come back as Tezuka scold Asako.

"Nah, Im fine."

He stood up, about to leave.

"Dojou," Komaki speak up and stop Dojou's step. "You know you can always ask for my help."

He then walk away.
