1 1 Wedding Ring

Ayame went with Yuto to pick out a wedding ring for Maria. "This will be perfect for Maria." Yuto agrees. "Thanks Ayame."

They walk home. "Yuto, please take care of Maria." "Of course. I want Maria to be the happiest woman in the world. I want to fulfill my dream to become a doctor who can help her and the people I care about."

"If it's you, you will able to do it." They smiles at each other. Yuto notices a speeding car heading to Ayame's direction. He pushes her out of the way. The car hit Yuto.

"Ow!" Ayame slowly gets up and turns around. She sees Yuto on the ground, bleeding. "Yuto!!"

...

Ayame is sitting on the bench, waiting. A few minutes later, Maria comes running in the hallway. "Ayame!"

She appears in front of Ayame. "How is he?" "Ayame." "Right now, he's resting...they say he broke a couple bones here and there..that he's still alive...."

Maria slumps down on the ground. "Thanks goodness. I really didn't know what to do." Ayame cried. "Ayame. What's wrong?" "I'm sorry, Maria. I'm sorry. It's my fault..."

Maria doesn't understand why Ayame is apologizing. "Ayame." "Because of me, Yuto can no longer see. He won't able to see again." "No...way...What about the wedding.....his dream of becoming a doctor....?"

Next morning, Ayame went to the hospital to visit Yuto but he refuses to see her. As she turns away, she sees Maria. Maria tens around and runs away.

Ayame catches up to her and grabs her hand. "What are you doing?" "I can't. I can't go and see him after all." Maria turns to Ayame.

She hands the box of ring. "Please tell him I'm sorry. I can't, Ayame. I don't have enough confidence to live with him. I beg you."

Next day, Ayame went to visit him once more. She knocks on the door but no answer. She lets herself in. She sees him sleeping.

She walks up to the bed. "Yuto." She grabs his hand. "I'm sorry." Soon Yuto opens his eyes, "Maria...is that you?"

He gets up and lifts his both hands up and trying to use his hands to find her. "Maria. I've been waiting for you to come." Ayame stays silent and sees him calling for Maria.

"Is it just a dream?" Yuto cries. (I've taken so much from him.) "I'm here. I'm right here." She went up to him and hugs him. "Don't worry. Everything will be okay.

...

Ayame went home and cut her hair short. She also wears the ring that Yuto got for Maria. (Yuto. I'm sorry. Let me lie to you once.)
