"Do you love him, Emilia?"
""Yes, I love him teacher, in fact whenever I see his face, my heart beats so fast and I become nervous..... Even though he loves me, I can't accept it."
"Why Emilia? Why can't you?"
"I have so many scars on my body. Due to this I always have to wear full length clothes. I feel insecure due to it. I know that he loves me now, but I am afraid that if one day he will be disgusted by my body. If that day comes, I won't be able to face that....."
"You silly girl. So, you had thoughts like that, I know that you feel insecure about your scars but we love you. It doesn't matter to us and Ren loves you so much that your scar won't affect him at all."
"Really, you think so."
"Yes, Emilia. Life is precious, upto now you have faced so much difficulties so its time for you to enjoy it properly. Have a talk with Ren tomorrow and convey your feelings to him,okay."
"Yes, I will... thank you."
Next day,
Emilia goes to Rens classroom and asks him to have a talk with her in the garden.
"Uhmm...Ren... so about yesterday....I told that you had confused your love with sympathy...I was wro.."
"Oh about that, yes I had given a serious thought about it whole night."
"Oh you did."
"Yes, thanks to you I came to my senses. All this time I had only confused my feeling as love. You were correct about it."
"But I came to...."
"Yeah, you don't need to say anything. We will still be friends. Oh, its time for class . lets go."
Emilia grabs him and heads towards the infirmatory. Then she locks the door.
"Hey Emilia, Whats wrong?"
"Ren you fool . You didn't even listen to me at all and you are going on saying such things."
"What did you want to say? tell me."
"Yesterday, I had told that your feeling were only sympathy...but.... the truth is I knew that you loved me truely...and...I said such things because I thought that....later you would be disgusted.... by me...by my body... so I didnot accept your confession....but I want..I want..."

"Ren, say something.. why are you silent?"
"..Its..its because I am feeling very happy. Am i not dreaming? You love me, really.... I also, I love you too."
