Twist of fate

chapter 24 part A

Midorima was lost in thought . Neither did he notice that Takao had barged into his office as happily and rudely as he usually did . 

He was in deep thought .

Midorima just stood there . Looking like a lost puppy as he scaned through the jewellry in the shop . He never knew finding a ring would be ..this overwhelming . 

" What can I help you sir? " asked one of the saleswoman. 

Midorima was snapped from his dazed as the saleswoman approached him 

" Oh ... I ..was looking for ring .. " said Midorima in a low tone 

" I see . For what occasion , sir ? " asked the saleswoman 

" I ... erm . I am planning to propose .. " said Midorima as his face grew a light pink hue 

The saleswoman let out a small chuckle and smile as she said " wel .. in that case , I may have the ring you are looking for "

Midorima stared at the ring in his hands . It was simple yet beautiful all together . Just how Tsukiko is . 

Tsukiko ... Just as his thought starts drifting of towards a certain white haired beauty , another pair of eyes appear infront of him , scanning through the ring 

" oh ..what a pretty ring Shin-chan" said Takao 

" Takao ! " Midorima was surprised to see him . " When..When did you entered my office? " 

" hmm ? Just a moment ago . I called out to you a few times but you were busy . . staring at the ring . " said Takao 

"Midorima blushed as he was caught by Takao 

" so .. Im guessing that's a proposal ring . Am I right? " grinned Takao 

" ah.. " said Midorima embarassed 

" Good luck , Shin-chan . I knew you can do it! " said Takao as giving Midorima a thumbs up 

" but .. I don't have any idea how to do it " Midorima admit 

" eh ? ?seriously Shin-chan ? Don't you read one or two romance novel ? clearly you should have the general picture of a guy on his knees .. n those stuff " said Takao 

" I feel uncomfortable doing those things in those kind of novels" said Midorima 

" hmm ...tsundere as ever " said Takao " Let's see .. what should you do .. " said Takao as he continue to think 

Just then an idea popped into Takao's head 

" aha ! Shin-chan I know ! " 

" what ? "

" well ... do you know the shrine near My apartment ? " said Takao 

" yeah . what about it ?" asked MIdorima as he raised his brow 

" well Shin-chan , they going to held a festival this weekend ! " 

" festival ? " 

" yep .. There's going to fireworks ..everyone in the neighbourhood was exited about it" grinned Takao 

" fireworks ... " Midorima doesn't seem to grab what's Takao trying to imply 

" Shin-chan , Im saying that you should use this festival as your chance to propose . It's romantic . It's at the shrine. I thought you might like the ida since the shrine will bring you good luck and so forth "
