The silence accompanied the journey of the two of them. Because of the incident earlier, they create an awkward situation. Both of them exchanging views with each other before the silence broke by Mio's laughter voice.
Hearing Mio's sudden laughter makes Haruki frown. Watching Haruki confused makes Mio's laughter loud. She wipes her tears because she laughed too much. Haruki can't take it anymore and he stops the car beside the road.
"What's your problem? Laughing like there's no tomorrow," said Haruki harshly. Looking at Mio laughing without he knew the causes makes him pissed.
He wants to know too!
Without talk Mio taking out her phone from her pocket and snap Haruki neck then show it to him. If his neck was red just now, after he saw the picture, instantly his face become red too. It can't hide anymore and because of that Haruki become silent and continued his driving.
Mio tries to hold her laugh because she knew Haruki will never like the laugh. Of course, it is not funny and embarrassing to him, but for Mio it just a sweet moment between him and her. When else she can feel like this with Haruki?
Pretty sure, after they come back to Tokyo everything will become normal. No more a sociable and excited Haruki the only one left is delinquent and terrifying Haruki. Even sometimes she also feels scared to talk with him.
Thanks to Kenta and Sugawara for accompanying her when she wanna talk with Haruki and she was glad to because the two of them never asked why she was afraid of Haruki. Probably, they also knew about Haruki attitude outside the Ramen shop.
"Are you still mad?" Mio tries to break the silence between them but this time not by laughing. She wants to laugh more but she holds herself from laughing. She dares herself to speak and start a conversation with Haruki.
Sadly, Haruki just gives Mio a cold shoulder but it doesn't break Mio's spirit. She smile more and start to look at Haruki who was driving feel uncomfortable. Quickly, he replied to Mio's gaze with a bothered face. He is uneasy with Mio's staring. Haruki sigh before he returned his attention to his driving.
"Answer my question Haruki."
If earlier Haruki shows an uncomfortable face, now it's Mio turn to shows her dissatisfied face. Her hand crossed to tell Haruki that she is sulking right now and Haruki need to answer her question just now.
10 minutes had past but Haruki still doesn't have to give a sign to answer Mio question. Frowned on her face increased when she looked at Haruki's unbothered face. Fed up to quarrel with Haruki anymore, she decides to take sleep until they arrive at home.
…
The sound of people talking and the smell of food managed to wake me from asleep. She tries to sleep back but to think she is still not in Tokyo makes her wide awake. She turns to the driver seat and looked outside through the window but still couldn't find Haruki body even his trace.
In front of her, there is a small shop selling Japanese traditional desserts. Without wasting time, Mio gets out of the car and step by step she entered the shop she stuns for a while. Inside this tiny and shabby shop, she never thought that she will love this place at first glance.
"Beautiful isn't it?" Without warning Haruki rested his head on Mio's shoulder before he sighs and continued talking, "I wanna wake you up just now but you have a tired face so I didn't want to wake you up. Not expecting you to wake up earlier."
There is no response from Mio. She won't know if Haruki noticed or not but she tries her best to hold herself from exposing herself as hard as she can. Didn't he notice his action gives her the butterflies?
Her face turns bright scarlet because she is very embarrassed and think she got butterflies because of Haruki action. Mio has turned mad. Maybe she needs to see the doctor after Haruki bring her back to Tokyo.
The door shop opened and spontaneously she push Haruki to get away from her but it's already late because the old couple in front of them giggles already. Mio sigh and she see Haruki also giggle but he tried to hide it.
Once again, she started to question why she agreed to follow Haruki in the first place.
"Is her your girlfriend Honda-san?" Asked the man full of curiosity.
Before Haruki answers, Mio first cuts to Haruki's talks because she knew the answers that come out of Haruki's mouth is unpredictable. Well, he is an unexpected guy.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you but we are still students and I don't have any plans to marry him anyway. I'm just his friend. It's friend, for real." Mio explains it carefully so one of them will not come with unpredictable ideas again.
"I don't see any problem for students to being a couple." the old woman replied.
Mio become speechless.
Haruki takes a step forward to equalized his position with Mio. He takes a glace to Mio to see whether she is okay or not. She might faint after she heard what will Haruki say in a second.
"Maybe we will get married in 5 years from now. Who knows right> or maybe we will hold our wedding next year? Please pray for us Hadzuki-san." He spits the word out confidently.
As Haruki predict, Mio was shock and nearly faint but thanks to her passion to kill Haruki she manages to keep herself wide awake. Thanks to the old couple in front of them too, Hadzuki she guess, for a stay in that spot so Haruki is still alive.
"HAHAHA, so funny Honda-san. Maybe you should stop your joking right now. By the way, can I get dango err Hadzuki-san? Am I right?" She says with a death glare to Haruki.
The kitchen seems busy and both of them prevent themselves from talking to each other. Mio still has a hard time talking with Haruki 'normally' after what he has done in front of the old couple a few minutes ago. Yes, it's a small matter but to be honest, she embarrasses herself cause she got butterflies in her stomach and blushing.
While Haruki still waiting patiently to say what is in his mind.
After a few minutes they waiting for their order, Mr Hadzuki finally handed them their orders.
"You know what, about I saying to marry you is true and I will make it real." Say Haruki out of the blue.
Mio eyes become bigger due to shock.
"Can you repeat what you say again?" Asked Mio to make sure she didn't mishear what Haruki saying.
Haruki just smiles.
"Itadakimasu."
