Chapter 17 - Special Chapter: "Takito and Mikuni: Childhood Memories Part 2; Realization?

Day: Sunday; Time: Lunch

"Happy Birthday Mikuni!"

Everyone suprised Mikuni when she went inside her house with Takito beside her. Both of them were playing outside while their families decorate Mikuni's house. Takito distracted Mikuni by playing outside so that their families can decorate the house.

"Wha- What is this!?"

Mikuni Shouted while having a surprised face.

"Did we surprise you?"(Ta).

"So you knew when my birthday is!?"(Mi)

"Well~ I asked your father about it so~ Haha~"(Ta)

"Papa!"(Mi)

"I'm sorry haha~ but Takito-chan was the one that planned this you know? Why don't you thank me instead?"

Mikuni's father replied. It has been half a year since they met and both families relationship deepened as time passes by. Last month, Takito asked Mikuni's father when was Mikuni's birthday(April 9) since he was just curious, and when he heard that her birthday is coming this month, Takito planned to surprise her on that day, even her father was surprised about his plan and just came along with it since it was to make her daughter happy. There were only 2 families present on the party but it was lively.

"To think my son plans someone's birthday- I'm surprised!~ Ever since you came here(Mikuni's father), this kid finnaly does good things"

Takito's father exclaimed.

"H-Huh!? I do good things always!"(Ta)

"Ahahahaha"

Everyone laughed as Takito was flustered at what his father said.

"Now then, let's continue with the party or else the food will go cold".

Mikuni's father said. Both families rounded up the table seated.

"Let's not take it for long! Let's Eat!"

"Itadakimasu!"

Everyone said in unison before eating.

After they finished eating, the adults was talking about stories inside the house while Takito and Mikuni was outside walking closely together.

"Happy birthday Mikuni!"

A boy from the neighborhood greeted Mikuni as he passes by.

"Thank you"(Mi)

Mikuni said with a smile.

Time passed and the people by the neighborhood who met Mikuni along the way greeted her Happy birthday.

"Ummm- Mikuni-san? We already walked a distance so what was it that you wanna talk about?"(Ta)

Takito, who asked with a trembling voice, was asked by Mikuni out for a walk.

"(She's being silent for a while~ maybe she's angry at me? Because I asked her father about her birthday? Without her permission!? A-am I going to get killed!?)"(Ta)

Takito was having dangerous thoughts because he knows that an angry Mikuni is not a laughing matter(even as a kid).

"We're here!"(Mi)

"HIIIII! PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!"(Ta)

"Wha-!? Don't suprise me, also I won't kill you, and why would I do that?"(Mi)

"Aren't you angry at me?"(Ta)

"What? I'm not angry at you, instead I'm happy because of what you did"(Mi)

"I-Is that so? Then Haha~ I got the wrong idea"(Ta)

"What do you take me for? Forget about that, we're here!"(Mi)

"Huh? this place!"(Ta)

A beautiful scenery of a tree by a cliff (with ramps) and you can see another neighborhood if you look below, and as the sun goes down, it really is a beautiful scene.

"You've been here?"(Mi)

"Well~ it was only once but when I went back home, I forgot the way here"(Ta)

"What? You live here you know?"(Mi)

"Tehee! Well, back to the topic, why did you bring me here?"(Ta)

"Its just nothing, I just wanted to thank you that's all"(Mi)

"Huh? Then-"(Ta)

Takito stopped talking when he saw a beautiful sight.

"Takito, I Thank you for surprising me with my birthday, Thank you for being with me from all this time(Wait... why does this feel like a farwell) This is the HAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE!"(Mi)

Mikuni went in front of Takito and faced him from a distance letting out a beautiful smile, Takito was bewildered by the scene that he saw, a lone tree near the edge of the cliff, the railings which reflected a faint light while the sunset rays out beautiful gold rays, but Takito did not mind those things, a girl who lent out a beautiful smile while the air blows her hair while she is holding her hat so it won't fly off, Takito did not forget that sight, because it was beautiful.

"(H-Huh? W-what is this feeling? My heart is pounding too fast! Why!? Ehh? EEEHHHH??? HUH!? WAIT WAS SHE THIS CUTE!? WAIT IS THIS LOVE!? NO NO NO, yeah it's not haha yeah it's n-)"(Ta)

"Takito-san? What's the matter? Your face is going red?"(Mi)

Mikuni closes up to Takito's face.

"H-huh!? No! Its nothing!" Haha yeah nothing!"(Ta)

"Hmmm? Then what are you thinking about huh?"(Mi)

Mikuni asked while tilting her head sideways.

"I-I-It's"(Ta)

"It's?(Mi)

"IT'S NOTHING!"(Ta)

"H-Hey! Why are you running away!?"

Takito runs off with a red face while Mikuni was behind chasing him.

"(NO IT ISN'T RIGHT? THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I FELT LIKE THIS!)"(Ta)

"H-Hey! Your too fast! Wait!(Mi)

"IT'S NOT OKAAAYYY!!"(Ta)

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?"(Mi)

Both of them runs off to their parents were they where standing outside talking.
