It was, wasn't it?

Eri woke up from her sleep and found herself on the bed in her hotel room. She looked around and saw nobody. Only her luggage was standing still behind the door. She was alone.

I knew it was too good to be true. There's no way Hige would love me. It's all just another nice dream I had. But, where did this dream start? I think it's probably when Hige found me with my broken car when I was trying to run away. Or maybe when he dragged me to the church and told everyone he loves me. Or maybe when we had the wedding ceremony after that? Which is it?

Eri was confused. She felt like she wanted to continue her sleep. As she was pulling up her blanket, she noticed something was glittered at her left ring finger. She looked at it very closely. She blinked a few times. She really couldn't believe her eyes.

"Wake up, sleepy head! It's noon already!" said a man who was standing at the door carrying a tray with a pancake and a glass of orange juice on it. Eri knew that voice really well.

"I'm awake, okay. I'm…just…sitting here for a while,"

"You're head still hurt?" Harima said while putting the tray on a small table beside the bed. He sat on the bed next to Eri. Her face blushed. "I brought you breakfast. But I think I should say it's lunch."

"It's not even noon yet. It's only 11.45 AM," she said with an angry tone. "But…, my head did feel a little bit spinning," Eri said while putting her hand on her temple even though she didn't feel like that.

"Really? You're pretty drunk last night. As if you're feeling depressed of marrying me,"

So it's true.

"No, I'm not. I feel…happy. Very happy."

Eri could see Harima's face turned red after she said that. He turned his face from Eri, like he didn't want Eri to see it. "Oh, that's…great then," he said shyly.

They went silent for a while before Harima asked," The ring…it fits you, right?"

"Yeah. It fits perfectly," Eri said while showing her hand to Harima.

Harima hold her hand and looked at the ring Eri wore. Her face blushed again," To tell you the truth, when I bought this ring, I don't even know your size," he said.

"You're kidding?" she said surprisingly.

"No, I'm not. It caught my eye first when I entered the shop. Guess I'm pretty good at this, huh?" he said proudly and still holding her hand.

"But it looks pretty cheap to me,"

Harima frowned. He let go of her hand and looked at Eri seriously, "Sorry about that, okay! I…I promise I will work hard and buy you a better one later. But right now I really don't have the money."

Eri smiled. It was the brightest smile she ever had. She never felt so happy of her entire life. One thing she was sure about that this was not a dream and it will never be.

Without she realized it, she had hugged him.

"It's okay. This is the most expensive ring I ever wear and I will treasure it all my life."

She paused but she still hugging Harima.

"I love you, Hige," she whispered into his ear. Tears coming out from her eyes but this time they are tears of joy.

Harima was shocked at first of the sudden hug from Eri but then he hugged her back. With a slight smile on his face, he whispered softly,

"I love you too, Eri."
