My Yakuza Boyfriend's

Chapter 31 - Shield's

Then, the dilemma struck. Cursed or not? Is he remembering Misaki? How many nights did she spend crying? It was painful to hear her crying. What's more sad is not knowing what to do. I didn't have the right words to comfort him. "All will pass" or "there's me here" won't make Tora really stop.

"Tora-san," call me. "You okay?" my question, which I regret because Tora is clearly not okay. "Tora-san?" I turned around and pushed the doorknob of his room. Tora's room is dark. I squinted my eyes to adjust the light. Finally, I found the figure of Tora sitting on the floor, looking back at me. "Tora-san?"

"I thought you were asleep" said Tora slowly. His voice sounds like a cold person. "Did I wake you?"

"No. I can't sleep."

"Go back to your room, Tomomi."

"You need anything?"

"Let me be."

"Where can I let you!" my protest.

Tora quiet.

"You can tell me anything if you want" I said. But Tora remained silent. I'm so excited to see Tora like this. "I know you miss your sister, me too. I often dream of it and once I wake up, I must cry."

Tora sighed. "I want to apologize to you."

"For what?"

"Because of me, you've been through a lot of bad things. You see a dead man before your eyes. Such a scene should only be experienced by us, the Yakuza. Come to think of it, shouldn't we have not met from the beginning?"

"Eh? Tora-san, I love you. So, whatever I go through, it won't change how I feel about you."

"If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have stopped you at school. I didn't think it would be this way at last. I don't know when we can forget it all," Tora rattled about the unpleasant events since I was willing to help her by reporting Misaki's situation to Kumicho's suicide. Hearing Tora regret our meeting, was very painful.

Frankly, I don't take his word. In effect, he was the bearer of misfortune in my life. Again he humbled himself. "I don't want to hear it" I said.

"But that's the truth. Do you know why I've been home late lately? I went to see Doctor Minami for a consultation. He said I needed psychiatric therapy. I almost went crazy for losing the most valuable person in my life. I lost the man who was my reason for living. Maybe soon I'll be a real lunatic and replace Misaki in a mental hospital. Or I might not be able to control my emotions and hurt you."

I can't take it anymore. "It's okay" I said as I stepped closer to Tora, then knelt down and hugged her from behind. I surrounded him with both arms. I put my chin on his shoulder. "If you're crazy, then I'm crazy too. It's okay, Tora-san."

"But I don't want anything to happen to you."

"Nothing will happen to me, not to you. I'll take care of you. Even though my body is small and thin, I want to accompany you through all this" I kissed Tora's cheeks wet with tears. "Cry as you please, Tora-san."

Tora took my hand and turned around. Both of his eyes were watery and ready to shed even more. He's leaning on my shoulder. And her crying broke.

I had never heard a man cry before other than my two uncles when Grandma died. At that time, Tora comforted me. Now, things are reversed. I cannot be weak in front of him. I pat Tora's back to make her comfortable.

"Thank you, Tomomi," Tora said between tears.

Morning came quickly. Unbeknownst to me, Tora had moved me to her bed. He himself is not in place. I don't know where he went. He usually makes me breakfast. However, today there is no food under the hood. "Did he forget? What made him forget breakfast?" I wondered while waiting for him to come home.

An hour later, Tora came home. "It's cold today" he said as soon as he saw me. He was carrying a plastic bag containing 2 medium-sized boxes. The one that caught my eye was her sunglasses. That thing really makes it a maximum handsome. He realized I was watching him. "It... To my eyes... You know..." Tora shrugged her shoulders. His eyes must have been swollen from crying last night.

My heart won't stop jumping around. I'm nodding. "Where are you from?" my many.

"I bought food" he answered.

"Not usually," I said suspiciously.

Tora took out the two boxes and prepared them for the both of us. "Eat first. I want to take you somewhere."

"Where?"

"I dare not go alone. You wanna come?" ask Tora without telling her the destination location.

"If it wasn't a haunted house, I would have come, '" I laughed.

🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀

Tora was still keeping her secret until the moment we left the house. We walked hand in hand. It was cold today as he said. In fact, we wore thick jackets, boots, gloves, and scarves. Tora leads the way to a flower shop by the side of the road. The flowers instantly reminded me of Misaki.

"You're willing to accompany me to see him, aren't you?" ask Tora.

I nodded steadily.

Together, we chose flowers for Misaki. Next, we took a train to the tomb. Tora clasped her bouquet tightly. His eyeballs did not move from the flower. He looks tense.

I put my hand on his hand. "It's okay, Tora-san," I said gently. I encouraged him by patting him on the back.

We arrived at the cemetery during the day. It's quiet in here. There are only a few visitors. This time I led Tora to Misaki's grave. The large, leafy trees rarely shade the rocky path we walked through. On the left right side of the road, lined with gravestones neatly arranged in a vast and wet meadow. I often read the names listed on it while wondering what they will look like in future lives.

I memorized the path because I came here almost every day. Maybe Misaki got tired of seeing me. The girl must have been very happy because Tora wanted to visit her without coercion. They will meet for the second time.

I stopped my steps about 5 meters from Misaki's tombstone to confirm Tora's condition. "You sure?" my many.

Tora nodded after taking a deep breath.

"He is there," I pointed to the shortest headstone among the other high gravestones. I think Tora's gonna need some private time with her sister. So I decided to wait for him.

"Yes" Tora was nervous. He was anxious, worried, worried. However, finally the man stepped closer to Misaki's tombstone.

I watched Tora within 5 meters. He knelt before the tomb, placed a bouquet of flowers on the grass, and prayed for a long time. If I were to die, would Tora behave the same way? I'm not his family. Our bond is not that strong. We love each other, but when one of us leaves, we just go.

"Tomomi," call Tora. He waved his hand, calling me.

I approached him. "What's wrong?"

Tora looked at Misaki's headstone. "I want to ask Misaki for permission" he said.

"Izin for what?" Just this time I heard someone asking permission from a dead person, unless he wanted to...

Tora took out something from her pants pocket, a small white box. The man opened it in front of me and showed me the contents. "Married you," she answered while looking at me.

Marrying. "Eh? Eh? Eeeh?" It's like I had a heart attack. "Why suddenly... Eeeh?" This guy always makes me feel wrong. The ring embedded within the box was golden in color, just like the tiger eyes on Tora's back. A small sparkling stone was perched in the middle of it. I let out a breath. "Why?" That's all I can ask now because my head is empty.

Tora took the ring and put it on my left ring finger. "You know why the rings are round, without beginning, without end? Because the ring depicts human life that continues to spin like a wheel. There is birth, death, sadness, happiness. This means a life of complementary unity. Accept each other's flaws, complement each other's perfection. This is proof of my endless love. I will always be there as myself beside you." She smiled sweetly, showing her dimples.

The ring fits in my finger, not too big and not too small. I don't know since when he started researching the size of my fingers. Tora actually managed to surprise me to the point of not being able to speak anything.

"I'm sure Misaki is happy with us" he added.

I turned to Misaki and Tora's headstones in turn. "You... Well me... Shocked, for sure," I still stammered to the point of wanting to cry.

"Sorry, I chose this creepy place to propose to you," Tora laughed.

Instantly, I shuddered. The cold wind that blew added to the atmosphere of horror. But now I'm with Tora. I tiptoed to kiss her lips, then jumped into her arms. "I'm not afraid" I said, convinced that our bond is now stronger than ever.

We both pray for Misaki. May Misaki get the most beautiful place in Heaven. And if he is reborn, may he have a better life than before. Until then, the good memories of Misaki will not be forgotten.

"I will make you happy" Tora swore.

I'm nodding. "I am too."
