Tomorrow

Tomorrow arrives for Noa and Isamu arrive. How are they going to express each other? Their feelings will be exchanged. So that Isamu starts to feel emotional in the PRESENT.

IN PRESENT

Isamu's phone rings, but he silences the phone. But he does not realise that it was a very important call from his friend, because his friend Etsuko is calling from Noa's house to compromise the Noa and unite them back, but Isamu doesn't know these things were happening, and he was very concentrated on reading the diary 'LOVE'.

Isamu starts to read the next chapter.

IN DIARY

 I did not sleep well that night. I was waiting for 'Tomorrow.' As I hoped, "tomorrow arrived, and it was Sunday, so I didn't have any work." 

Etsuko arrived at my home and asked, "What happened between you and Noa? Is she bothering you? She called me at midnight and asked about you." After hearing that, I felt happy, but I didn’t express it to Etsuko. I couldn't hide the secret from him, so I decided to tell him.

 I told him, "Etsuko... your cousin Noa told me that she wants to meet me to tell me something."

 Etsuko replied, "Oh... where?" I said, "In front of your house." Etsuko said, "Oh, don’t panic, idiot... I know you can't talk properly to girls; you’re scared of them *laughs*. But don't worry, she is like your sister, so you can talk freely."

 I told him that I had some feelings for her and that I couldn't treat her like my sister. Suddenly,

Etsuko started shouting, "Feelings... what feelings, Isamu? Are you serious? I told you about my family; they are the main reason for my mother's death. You are my friend... please don't do this to me."
 I asked him in anger, "You think I would ruin your name and your family? Yes, I know I mean something to you, but even though we are friends, we are not family..."

 Suddenly, Etsuko slapped me and said, "You are like my brother. How can I let my brother do this to me? Don’t you know about my Aunt Waka? She is a cruel lady who is selfish and can go to any extreme to destroy you for her wishes."

I (Isamu) ask him in emotionally that "I don't care about anyone, you will be with me or not, Etsuko."

Instantly, he got up and got out of my house, and I also did not want to stop him.

I think it is 11 am in the morning. I was waiting on the terrace. I was waiting for her arrival.

 I felt like a star yearning to be close to the moon. Today, Noa looked different, even though I had seen her just yesterday. But today—‘the tomorrow’—she looked extraordinary. She wore a sky-blue gown adorned with stars, and a stunning royal blue sapphire necklace that shone like a jewel in the sky. Her face sparkled without any cosmetics, and her gentle smile gave me confidence I had never felt before. Her posture was elegant, and though I knew I was admiring her beauty perhaps too ardently, I couldn’t help myself.

 For the first time, Noa spoke to me in a warm, lovely tone, "Isamu, where can we spend our time?" I was taken aback; I had thought she would say only a few words, but clearly, she had something planned.

 I suggested, "We can go to a nearby park. Shall we walk?"

 She nodded eagerly, so I took her to the park.

 We found a stone bench and decided to sit down and talk. For a few minutes, we sat in silence, and then our eyes locked. In that moment, my gaze reflected back at me from her eyes, which shone like her sapphire.

 Neither of us broke the eye contact until she smiled, and I realized I was captivated by her lips, feeling like a feather floating in the air. She started asking questions, "What is your full name?"
 I sensed she needed some time to relax, so I took her irrelevant questions in stride. "My name is Isamu Botan. Why were you at my university?"

She(Noa) replied "I came there for research and also planned to join that university," she responded.

I tell her back that "Don’t worry, I WILL BE THERE FOR YOU."

 Her reaction was a soft, "Haaan!" and her cheeks turned a soft reddish hue, like rose petals. I chuckled lightly, realizing I had flirted unintentionally.

I quickly clarified, "No... I mean, you can ask me for help whenever you need it." She replied, "Ohh... okay. Etsuko told me you're very gentle, caring, and loyal."

 I answered, "I will show love to the person who loves me."

 Then I asked, "IF YOU LOVE ME, THEN I WILL SHOW MY LOVE... DO YOU LIKE ME, NOA?" 

 She replied, "YES." Both of us turned our faces away in that moment, feeling the weight of what had just been said.

 That was the biggest thing I had ever done in my life—I had proposed her, indirectly. I swear it wasn’t intentional.

 My eyes closed out of sheer nerves, my adrenaline pumping like a steamboat, and I could hear her heavy breaths, mirroring my own tension.

 With my eyes shut, I could only envision her in a bright light. When I opened my eyes, I knew it was time to take that leap. 

 "Noa..." I called softly, and she turned to me in a panic, her gaze wide.

 I saw her ear leaning in, waiting for my next words, as she tucked a strand of hair behind her left ear.

 And then I took a breath and Declared, "I LOVE YOU, Noa."
