The Long Winter Is Finally Over

Another year had passed, everything is back to normal now but some things are still not while some people will never come back. Jao and I are back at each other's arms, aside from the fact na kailangan niya pang tapusin ang pag-aaral niya ay hindi pa natatapos ang tungkulin niya bilang ika-sampung pinuno ng Leone Dil Cieli Famiglia.

Like what Jao had told us before, Naoki sacrifice himself to save the world from a threat. What he did saved millions or even billions of people all around the world along with the other parallel universes, not everyone knew what he did but we do and we're all grateful for it. I'm mad at myself because I pushed him away, I did that countless times.

But despite that fact, he saved Jao's life. I never expected him to saved the man that I love. He and Jao are like enemies or whatsoever, and I must have forgotten that he and Jao are friends ever since we were just kids.

All of us used to play Kings and Queens, then Naoki will always play as Jao's unbreakable sword. The two of them will always come and save me from Hayato and Xanxus because those two morons are the monsters along with my older Brothers.

The only thing that I regret is that I never said "I love you" to Naoki, even if I don't love him in a romantic way. I've always love him as my best friend, and I'm sure he knew that from the very start but he still insisted on what he wanted. He kept on forcing me to see him the way I see Jao, that's the reason why I hated him and even avoided him if possible.

The reason why Dad have always been fond of him is because my Dad see him as his own son since my Brothers were not around and that doesn't mean that Dad liked him as my future husband, medyo assumero lang talaga si Naoki pero nag-pa-pasalamat ako sa lahat nang ginawa niya para sa'kin pati na sa buong mundo.

Without him, this world won't be in a peaceful place.

Like the moon, we must go through phases of emptiness to feel full again.

I admit that I'm still hurting whenever I thought of Naoki, Jao wouldn't admit that fact in front of me but I know that he's just having the same feeling as me.

But all of us have our own lives now, we have to be strong, and we have to find our purpose in this world. Mourning for the rest of our lives won't make Naoki come back to life, moving on and continuing to live our lives is probably the best thing to do. I'm sure na iyon din ang gusto ni Naoki kung sakali mang nakikita niya kami kung nasaan man siya ngayon.

Ang mga magulang namin ng mga kapatid ko ay naka-uwi na noong nakaraang buwan dahil sa pag-iisang dibdib ni Akina saka ni Tsuna, imbitado ang buong pamilya ng mga Fontanez, Montoya, Sevilla, at Matsunaga. Malaki ang simbahan kung saan ginanap ang mismong kasal habang ginamit naman ang hotel ni Ate AC para sa venue ng reception.

Akala ko nga ay si Cedric ang makakatuluyan ni Akina pero mukhang mali ako sa bagay na iyon. May girlfriend na rin pala si Cedric, hindi lang pala talaga siya nag-sa-salita dahil alam niyang aasarin siya ng pinsan ko. Well, that can't be helped though specially kapag si Hayato ang mang aasar.
