Shou's POV

I'm on my way to the lighthouse to meet Michiyo when....

"Shou?" a familiar voice from behind called my name, I turn around

"Miharu?" I approach her

"I came to gave you this.." she said and brought out a key, wait a sec? Is this the key?

"Miharu..is this.." before I finished she interrupted

"The promised that we made 14 years ago.." she explained, I was shock

"You are the girl from my past?" I can't believe it

"Yes.." I suddenly hug her tightly

"Uhm..sorry.." I let go of the hug

"Its okay..Shou?" she said

"Yes?" I respond

"Take this key with you..okay?" she said and handed me the real key, what does she mean by that?

"What?" I said

"That key does not belong to me.." I said

" I like you, Miharu.." I finally said and she look at me, I can see her tears is about to fall

"I like you too Shou.." she respond, she likes me too but..

"Ever since that we promised each other back then, I really like, I confessed to you back then remember?" I said to her

"I know, but like and love is different Shou.." she said

"Miharu?" I can feel my tears is about to fall down

"I remember everything Shou, I know you like me but its different now, you already in love with the girl you about to meet now..Am I right?" she is now crying, It hurts to see her cry but she's right, I like Miharu, but now I love Michiyo, I guess I'll make things right now..

"Yes, I love her now Miharu, I'm sorry.." I said, my tears is now falling

"Don't say sorry Shou, I accept the fact that its only a one sided love, I can let you go now, don't worry I'll be okay.." she assured me all those words she said

"Thank you Miharu.." I smiled at her

"Go now Shou, I bet she is waiting for you.." she said

"You sure, you'll be okay here?" I asked her

"Yeah, don't worry about me, I'll be fine, I will just call Joy where they are.." she said and I'm about to go when..

"Shou!!!" I turn around and look at Miharu

"Make sure to take good care of her okay?" she said and I thumbs up as a sign of I will do it and we parted ways

I'm on my way to her..when I reach the lighthouse I went up to the observation deck and they are right she is here, well she is not facing me, I think she is looking far away

"Glad I found you!" I said as I catching my breath

"Hey.." she said still not turning to look at me

"I though I'll never catch you here.." I said with a smile

"Me too, I thought you are already here.." she simply said

"I'm here now Mich.." I reply back

"Sorry.." she suddenly said, still in the same position

"For?" I asked

"Everything, for giving you a hard time, for running away, I'm sorry.." she said

"I'm sorry also for everything, for making you feel awkward in our relationship, sorry.." I response

"Don't say sorry okay..Its all my fault.." she explained

"Okay..Michiyo have something to tell you.." I said

"What is it?" she calmly said

"Well, here goes...There was a girl who I met, she is so violent, she beats up every single boy or girl she had trouble with, but she is smart and then I discovered she hardly got a friend to be with..

Michiyo's POV

"She is so tough and like a trouble maker girl, and one night I was shock that she will become my girlfriend for 3 years to subside the war between her gang and my gang, I honestly hate her guts for being violent and for accidentally pushing me away from her way to school, tsk!! We have no choice but to accept it before there is no people left because of that unfinished war, we just fake dating, and we can't stand each other guts back then, we even fight and fight until we are through, I admit she is way stronger than me, when she slap me, I felt like my whole head will be through out on how she is hard to slap.." when he is saying those characteristics, I know it was me who he is pointing to..

"I admit that I'm getting used of her slapping, beating me up whenever she want, and also I think getting to that relationship with her is a roller coaster ride, whenever I'm with her I felt strange feelings towards her, it is really strange and I know back then that I only like Miharu.." he continued but I interrupt

"STOP!!!! I know you like her, I remembered everything, so quiet reminding me all those nonsense attitude of mine!!!! WILL YOU!!!" my tears is falling down, It really hurts hearing from him that he likes Miharu

"But I came to like somebody else now, not her.. I admit I like her back then but when that certain someone came ,that all change, she teach me to be tough in all times, she though me hows life living and hiding on a family of gangster, we mostly alike with that kind of family status but different in personality and perspective in lives, I know she dislike me at first, so am I, but when she run away from me, I realized that this fake relationship of mine turn out to like her and should I say falling in love with her.." he pointed out, my tears still showering down

"She's useless, you know that, she always cause trouble, she beats up anyone she encounter, I'm a coward and definitely  I'M A FAKE!!!!!" I said to him still wearing this crying face

"I know, but what can I do? I already love you now!!" upon hearing that words from him, turn to look at him, he is smiling

I run towards him and gave him a hug...

"I LOVE YOU TOO, RJ!!!! I really do love you too.." I said still hugging him and I felt he hugs back

"This is real Michiyo, I love you!!" he said to me

After the hug..

"Michiyo?" he said

"Hmm.." I respond 

"Here.." he gave me a key, wait is this?

"The real promised key.." he conclude

"Did Miharu.." before I could finish, he interrupts me

"She confess to me earlier but I rejected her, and she told me to bring this to you.." he handled me the key

"Why?" I asked

"Because, she know that key really belongs to you, so shall we?" he said and he brought out his pendant and together we open it

"Its a pair of ring..." I said when we successfully opened the pendant

"Michiro once ask me who I'm going to marry when I'm in the right ages, I said its you and destiny is right it was you I promised to be with.." he said, and I smiled at him

"You know what, you are so bolero!!!!" I pinch his nose and I laugh on his reaction

"Ouch!!! Bolero? is that a Filipino language for compliment and praised right?" he said

"Yeah right!!" I said happily

"So?" he said

"So what?" I counter

"Let's go back?" he finished

"Sure.." I said and he lend me his hand and a happily accept it and together we walk back on where I think everyone is waiting for us..
