My Parents Gave Me a House So I Decided to Start a Marriage and My Childhood Friend Ran for It, so We Got Married and I Won in Life!
“We got a good deal.”
“Yeah, it was. I had fun today. ……”
In the car after shopping, Miyu mumbled
It’s still early evening, but it seems like it’s a shame that this day is coming to an end.
I know exactly how you feel.
The first date with Miyu comes but once in a lifetime, right?
“It was fun. Let’s go somewhere else on our next holiday.”
“I want to go……! I’ll make sure I finish my work so we can go somewhere.”
“I’ll do my best not to have to work on my days off too.”
Miyu’s expression also brightens a little.
I am also motivated to work for the next holiday.
After about 20 minutes of driving around while chatting with Miyu, we came to a place that looked familiar.
When we came to a place that looked familiar, a thought occurred to me.
“I’d like to stop at a little place, is that okay?”
“Eh? Ah, it’s okay.”
I checked with Miyu and headed off in a direction that was a little off the beaten path.
It’s not that far from here, so we should arrive soon.
“Where are we going?”
“I’ll tell you when we get there.”
After about five minutes in the car, I finally pulled over.
I finally stopped the car.
“This is …….”
“Yeah. This is the park where we used to play.”
I brought her to a park near our house.
This place holds a lot of memories for us.
I think it’s the perfect place to end our first date.
“Let’s walk a little.”
“……Yeah!”
We walk side by side through the park.
When I was a kid I thought it was huge, but now it feels a little smaller.
Miyu, who was walking next to me, was also looking around at various places.
And then, Miyu’s gaze stopped at a certain spot.
“Hey Takuya. That’s …….”
“Hnn? Ouu, ……I miss that……”
Miyu was looking at an ordinary small sandbox.
But for us, it was a place of great importance, a place of unforgettable memories.
“This is where …… we met, right?”
“Yes, ……. This is where Takuya spoke to me for the first time.”
“I still remember it. I still remember that time.”
When she came to the park with her parents, Miyu was playing alone in the sandbox.
There was something lonely about that back, and I couldn’t leave it alone, so I called out to her.
I still remember that I didn’t know what to say to her and desperately tried to get her to play with me.
I couldn’t imagine that she is now standing beside me as my future wife.
“I was saved then. Just by Takuya talking to me, my feeling of loneliness flew away.”
“I’m glad to hear that. I think it’s an exaggeration to say that I saved you.”
I sit on the edge of the sandbox alongside Miyu and watch the children playing in the sandbox.
Miyu looked at the children and silently shook her head.
“I’m not exaggerating. If it weren’t for Takuya, I probably wouldn’t have any friends even now.”
“That’s not true. Miyu was always the most popular girl in school.”
“I don’t think I would have been able to answer even if someone had talked to me. It was Takuya who gave me the courage to talk to people.”
At the same time I am surprised and happy that I was able to help Miyu.
Because Miyu is getting stronger and stronger mentally.
I had thought she was out of my reach.
“My first love was Miyu.”
“Eh ……! Is that so?”
“Yeah. I liked her, but she was too far out of my league for me to express my feelings to her.”
I am aware that I am telling a pathetic story.
I was too cowardly to even confess, let alone get dumped.
Still, Miyu grinned at my words.
“Then it’s each other’s first love.”
“Eh!? Even though you told me we’ve been together since we were little, it was your first love?”
“Yeah. When I realized, I was already in love with you.”
I never thought that Miyu’s first love was me. ……
When I think about it, I guess I made her wait for a long time. ……
I started to feel sorry.
“I studied fashion so that Takuya would tell me how cute I am …… and that he likes me.”
“Miyu ……”
“That’s why I was really happy that day Takuya proposed to me. ……”
I hug Miyu.
I thought Miyu would get mad at me for hugging her outside again, but she hugged me back.
We hug each other for a while.
“I love you, Miyu …….”
“I love you too. I’ve always had the same feelings for you.”
After confessing to each other, we looked at each other for a few seconds and gently touched our lips.
Our first kiss was filled with excitement and happiness, and even after we parted, the feel of Miyu’s soft lips remained.
“Ehehe. I gave my first kiss to Takuya…..!”
Miyu had a big smile on her face as she said this.
The sunset made her smile so beautiful and cute that I couldn’t take my eyes off of her.
Unable to resist, I kiss Miyu again.
It was a gentle kiss, just the touch of lips.
But the two of us were full.
“Thank you for liking me.”
“I thank you too.”
We both laugh as we say the same thing.
I …… will never let go of Miyu.
I will continue to stand next to Miyu and walk through life together.
In order that decades from now we can laugh together and say, “It was a good life…”
