Thank you, goodbye.
ありがとうさようなら。
Arigatou, sayonara.

RAN keeps on thinking and asking about the magic word that Eliana says but the lassie doesn't tell it to Ran. Eliana keeps only to herself and lets Ran know the answer she wants to hear. "It is not being immature, I just want to know that he truly means that he loves me," Eliana said in her mind.

"If you truly love me, you will know it," Eliana said which is why Ran stopped asking her and thinking what is the answer.

He even asked Rui and his friends about that but Rui said, "Only you can answer that."

Rui knows the exact words that Eliana wants to hear and he even investigates the root of Eliana's confusion through the help of Anrie. All of these things have started because of the girl named . . . "Hana."

"Why onii-chan?" Hana asked.

They were currently in Rui's grandmother's restaurant confronting Hana about everything. Hana just passed by the restaurant and made Rui be there so he confronted Hana. "It's time to take off your mask Hana. Don't use my brother in your dark schemes and use him again to make your life so easy."

"I am not doing that thing onii-chan! I love Ran all of my heart even I will give my whole life just to make him happy," Hana said while she clenched her fist.

"You can't replace the happiness he had now. I am warning you, stay away from him, or else I will tell Ran all of these," Rui said seriously.

Hana had no choice but to show some drama in front of Rui's grandmother, that's why Rui's grandmother felt sorry for Hana and said, "I'll talk to Ran."

May 19, 2027; Tokyo, Japan

Whenever Ran has a practice, Hana is always there and Eliana feels like Hana is replacing her. The events that happened to her life when she was a child are coming back to her memory. She was always left alone and lonely.

And Ran made her feel like that and made her cry.

"They were both happy," Eliana said.

To remove the doubts from her mind, she decided to go out with Anrie. When they both reached the coffee shop, they saw Ran and Hana talking to each other.

Anrie got mad and was about to assail Ran, but Eliana stopped Ran's cousin and said, "It's okay, we will get into trouble if you do that."

"But . . ."

"Let's go," Eliana said smiling and again it was a bitter smile. She's trying to hold back her tears and turns around.

Anrie took a picture of both of them and went with Eliana.

Eliana decided to call Ran and the guy immediately answered. "Where are you, Ran?"

"I'm in the arena," Ran answered that's why Eliana bit her lower lips trying not to cry.

"I'm coming with Anrie."

"O-Okay, see you my Eli," Ran said and Eliana ended the call.

When they arrived at the arena, Ran and Hana were already there. Anrie knows what Eliana is trying to do, and she will back her up.

Eliana felt jealous but didn't show it because she didn't want to be a freak like other people. "I have the right to be jealous, do I?" she asked herself. "Stop it, Eliana, stop it, please. It will damage your relationship."

Later, Hana suddenly approached and looked straight at Eliana."You should break up with him, he is still seeing me and I'm his first love," Hana said. "And he told me that he loves me, and told me aishiteru."

Hana shows the picture with Ran. Eliana boils up when she sees the pictures of Ran. It was taken yesterday and this day because of the clothes he's wearing.

Eliana bit her lower lip trying not to cry knowing that Ran was meeting Hana behind her and hurt knowing that Ran telling Hana aishiteru that it meant I love you, as well as that Ran was keeping a secret from her.

"Hi, sis!" Hana greeted Anrie but Anrie ignored her.

Eliana was about to leave, she really couldn't hold her feelings but Hana suddenly fell. Ran saw that and immediately approached Hana. Eliana just looked at the two as if they were the real couple.

Because of jealousy, Eliana ran but she got hit around the bleachers causing her knee to bleed.

"Dugo . . ." (Translation: Blood.)

Eliana looked at Ran worrying at Hana. That's why Eliana stood up and walked slowly.

"Why do you keep doing that Ran?!" Anrie shouted and Ran saw Eliana who was bleeding so he immediately went to Eliana's location.

"E-Eli! What happened?"

Ran was about to do a first aid but Eliana stopped him. "Tell me, Ran," Eliana said and looked at Ran directly into his eyes. She can't hold her tears anymore and starts to fall. "You're lying, right?"

"E-Eli," Ran called Eliana's name but Jeremy suddenly entered the scene and saw that Eliana was bleeding which is why he helped the girl.

Jeremy always visits the arena to see that Eliana is okay but he sees nothing but a scene like this. He was angry because Eliana was his friend and considered to be a brother.

"How dare you! Give my Eli back to me!"

Anrie looked at her cousin and said, "I'm disappointed in you but give me an explanation later." She looked at Hana's position and rolled her eyes. "For now, stay here. I will go after Eli."

When they were at the hospital, Jeremy quickly made a call to Ran through Eliana's phone and Ran answered it.

"Eli, where are you . . ."

"This is Jeremy, I told you not to make El cry, but you still did. You won't be seeing her from now on."

"Damn, where's Eli? You know Jeremy, you are out of our business. Stay out of this!" Ran said in another line. He is furious and emotional because he failed Eliana.

"She's with me," Jeremy said. "At the hospital. She's regaining her energy. You know, she's tired of understanding you but you won't feel that she's tired too. She keeps telling me how beautiful your relationship was but these past few days, her tone has been a bit off. She looks so tired until she tells me about how she felt and she wants to hear words of assurance but you won't say it, you won't know it. You care for your ex better than she does. Eliana is breaking, Ran . . . If you only knew."

Ran cried on the other line and Jeremy ended the call. "I need to do this El, don't get mad. It is a trigger for him to know how he felt for you and don't be numb to your feelings."

RAN TRIED to talk to Eliana in person but Jeremy stopped it. That's why he asked his older brother and Anrie for help.

Ran explains everything to Anrie and agrees to go with them to the hospital. Of course, Rui and Ran followed. Fortunately, Jeremy left for a while so Ran could talk to Eliana in person.

"Eli . . ." Ran called to Eliana and approached the girl. "You make me worried, I won't forgive myself if something happens to you."

"Ran," Eliana called Ran. "I told you, don't keep secrets from me but why didn't you tell me that you are meeting Hana behind me?" Eliana asked, preventing herself from crying. "You wounded my heart, Ran, and you also told her the word that I want to hear from you."

"I'm sorry," Ran said. "I will get you out of here, stay with me."

Her eyes are languid, her lip is so pale and she looks so tired. "Arigatou . . ." Eliana said, therefore, Ran goes near to her. "Ari-gatou . . ." Eliana started to stutter and tears began to fall. "Arigatou . . . for making me feel so special but I will decide that I'll going to resign as your English Teacher." Ran was shocked, he was about to hold Eliana's hand but he didn't. "I want to go back to my homeland, I need . . . some space," sabi ni Eliana. "Sayo . . . nara."

Ran was speechless because of Eliana's words. Ran gets away from Eliana to give her some space. But he promised himself to fight for the girl, no matter what.

After Ran left Eliana's room, the girl shed tears. "I'm sorry Ran, I'm going to rest for a while. Saglit lang."

Ran was also crying while walking. "Damn Eli, gomenasai, gomenasai. I promise I'll search for you. I'll be looking for you at the right time. Hananapin kita."

RAN WAS SILENT when they got into the car so Rui and Anrie were confused.

"Eliana was badly injured, her knees bled too much," Anrie said. "That Hana, she only brings but a mess."

"What happened, by the way?" Rui asked Ran.

"She's going back to the Philippines," Ran said seriously. "She said, she needs some space.

"So what's your next move?" Anrie asked. She's a bit sad knowing that Eliana will leave Japan. "I hope you fight for her! We're supporting you knowing the side you told us and Eli's side, of course I will. But you should settle the things first."

"I will," Ran said with hope in her voice. "But I'll let her take some space. I trust her."

Rui smiled and patted his brother. "We're here to support you!"

RAN RETURNS HOME to Kyoto because he wants to ask his mother for advice. Ran knew his mother was good when it came to this sort of thing.

"You know Eli-chan is adorable. She's unique and the thing I like about her is that she can do what men can do. I remembered that she fixed the table in the storage room, before," Mrs. Takahashi revealed and remembered that Eliana had a lot of other things fixed.

"She told me before, that things like this should be cherished because they might witness the most significant part of our lives. That was indeed right because the table she repaired was a table we used before when you, my children were still young."

Ran also remembered happy memories at that table. So he smiled and when Ran heard about what he was doing, his heart overflowed.

"I knew it, Mom. She's indeed a Wonder Woman. That's why I love . . . her."

His mother smiled strangely and said, "You had a conflict with Eli-chan right?" Ran nodded and her mother smiled. "You shouldn't focus on the past but on the present where you are delighted and feel contented," His mother said. As if she already knows the problem. "Because at the end of the day, you'll still find her presence."

"Mom, how . . . I don't want her to leave me," Ran said. "And I don't know how to confront Hana about the past. I am doing those things because of pity."

"It's better to talk to Hana-chan in the right place and perfect timing and confront her for what you feel," Ran's mother said. "If you want to get back with Eli-chan, you're going to cut the ties with your past."

Ran truly loves Eliana and he doesn't want to lose her. "I love her."

"If you love her, you should say the words that a woman is waiting for her beloved."

He remembers something. The words he didn't tell because he is more into actions not words, but those words are important to Eliana. The magic words. The words of assurance. "I love you." "Aishiteru." "Ti amo." "Mahal kita."
