Title: Book of Love Author: Musume Sai

Chapter 10: Were they really?

: What Ryoma said before did end their friendship relationship. But it started a new kind of relationship: Love.

Both of them were really happy. Were they really?

Ryoma and Sakuno were chatting in the internet after Ryoma got home.

RyomaE: Hey I've got to tell you something

RyuzakiSakuno: What is it?

RyomaE: I should've told you this awhile ago but sorry I forgot. It seems that when I'm with you, I tend to forget everything else.

RyuzakiSakuno: What will you say?

RyomaE: Risha's not my cousin.

RyuzakiSakuno: Then what is she?

RyomaE: She's a friend of mine when we I was still in U.S.

RyuzakiSakuno: Is that all?

RyomaE: Yes. You're the only girl I'll always love.

Sakuno was shock but not really. It's not much of a big deal but all this time she was wondering how she knew her name, how she stopped Ryoma to talk when they were at the Sakura tree and how she want to talk with Ryoma privately. After few minutes, Sakuno hasn't replied yet. She thought that Risha may be a threat.

RyomaE: Hey are you mad?

RyuzakiSakuno: ….

RyuzakiSakuno: No

RyomaE: Okay.

RyuzakiSakuno: K

RyuzakiSakuno has logged out.

After few minutes,

Sakuno's POV

I just realized, trust is important in relationship. So why am I being like this to Ryoma? I guess I should log back in.

End of POV

Ryoma's POV

Is telling the truth wrong? Or is it too late for me to tell her that?

End of POV

Sakuno has logged back in.

RyomaE has logged out.

"Now, what's his problem? Sakuno thought and signed out again. She turned off her laptop and sleep.

The next day, Ryoma and Sakuno weren't talking in the classroom. Ryoma sat in the front chair instead of his usual place. Sakuno entered the room a few minutes ago but Ryoma didn't even look at her. Tomo was wondering why those two kept on ignoring each other.

"Ne, Sakuno-chan. Did you have a fight?" She asked her best friend.

"I guess" Sakuno replied but was still looking at Ryoma. Tomo tried to think of something.

"I know! Why don't you apologize first? Knowing what our prince's attitude, let's just consider this as a truce" Tomo suggested.

"What? How?" Sakuno asked. And Tomo-chan whispered something to Sakuno.

"Isn't that embarrassing?" She panicked.

"Just do it!" Tomo commanded.

After few minutes, Sakuno tore a piece of paper from her scratch paper and draw a sad face with her highlighter. She traced the edges with her black ball pen and put a note on the lower part saying, "Ryoma-kun. Please don't get mad at me. I love you" She blushed as she read it. Tomo signaled her with a 'Go to Ryoma now' look. Sakuno first surveyed her classmates to see if they're minding their own business and won't notice when she talk to Ryoma. All of her classmates were busy talking to their seatmates so she's safe.

She then walked over in front of Ryoma and looked at him. Then she showed him the note straight in his face but with few inches apart. She only held it in her two hands for him to see. Their classmates started screaming and shouting.

"Ryoma, you're mature now! Woohoo" Horio said.

"What a couple!" Someone said then whistled the sound, 'Wootwooo'

"Ryoma's blushing! Look!" Someone said. Ryoma didn't look at any of them and Sakuno went back to her chair smiling. She wasn't expecting this kind of scene. She was embarrassed with what she had done. Tomo went near her and gave her a high-five. After the first subject, Ryoma went back to his chair. Tomo asked Sakuno to go to the toilet so she left her notebook in her desk. After going to the toilet, Sakuno went to her notebook and looked for the piece of paper she showed to Ryoma. When she scanned the pages, she saw an unusual white paper. It was torn as well and a smiley face was drawn in it. She looked at Ryoma and he smiled to her. Which means, they now made up. Without a single word, without anything but just a look, they can sense that everything was fine and nothing will destroy them. Even the biggest threat. Sakuno smiled back.

As for Risha, she just wanted to clear up her name. She doesn't want to be the third party when Ryuzaki knows about her and that Ryoma lied to her because he said that she's his cousin. She just wanted to clear everything. Even though it's not a major deal.

And as for the book of love, Sakuno gave it to her classmate, Satsuki thinking that a new love will develop for her friend. She learned that not everything is answerable by yes or no. No one can predict the future and that's what makes life perfect. Many surprises awaits you, you just have to wait.
