My Childhood Friend who is My Girlfriend is not Looking at Me - Chapter 25 ~END

Happiness

After we graduate from college, the both of us got jobs while still living in the same apartment.

Although we were employed by different companies, we often go to each other’s room and complained about work.

In the third year of my working life, I had the opportunity to have a new girlfriend.

We were colleagues at the same company, and I had never been conscious of her, but one day after work, she invited me out for a drink and confessed that she had been interested in me since I first joined the company.

She seemed mature, but from the way she worked, she was a strong, responsible, and nice co-worker.

I told Hana about it, she gave me a push and said,

‘You should just move on, this is your chance.’

So I decided to go into a relationship with my co-worker.

Since I was not yet conscious of liking her as a woman, we only would go out to eat together after work occasionally. Our relationship was really pure. I had the idea that I would gradually fall in love with her as we deepened our relationship.

And because of what had happened in the past, I was very cautious.

We never kissed or had sex.

Or rather, I was too scared to do it.

She thought I was a virgin because I never touched her in when we were in a relationship, so I had no choice but to tell her about my high school trauma.

After hearing my story, she told me,

‘That was really tough. Take your time, okay?’

I was comforted by her and decided to do my best.

But not long after, a rumor spread at the company that I have an erectile disfunction after being cheated on by my girlfriend.

No matter how I thought about it, she was the only source of the rumors, so I called her within the day and questioned her after we finished working.

‘I just consulted about it with my seniors, they are the ones who spread the rumors.’

She was just making excuses.

“Don’t mess with me! I don’t have an erectile disfunction! Who is this senior you consulted to!?”

“Tayama-san…”

“Call him right now!”

“Eh…but.”

I was on the edge of my patience.

‘If you can’t do it, I will report to the company that you and Tayama-san are spreading false rumors about me.’

I told her so.

Then I went back to the company and reported the matter to the General Affairs and Personnel Department in the form of a consultation.

The next day, an investigation was conducted against them, and apparently there was a blame game.

It also turns out that the two of them were dating. In other words, she was cheating.

The company, which is strict about compliance, took serious disciplinary action against both of them for what it considered as sexual harassment. The manager of the Human Resources Department, who was in charge of the investigation, told me this when he confirmed the facts with me.

The third affair was not painful as the first and second, probably because we did not have a physical relationship

I just thought that that’s just the way it is, and didn’t think much about it.

When I was having dinner with Hana in my room for the first time in a while, I told her what had happened

“I’ll prove that you don’t have an erectile disfunction!”

She said so and started to take off her clothes.

“Come on! Mugi, you can eat your food later, take it off, take it off!”

“Eh? Are you serious?”

“I would never joke while getting naked!”

“That’s true, but…”

I felt shaken and anxious, but Hana was beside me on her knees, took my hand and looked me straight in the eyes.

“Mugi, I’m also terribly afraid of having sex. It’s not just Mugi, I’m afraid too, but if it’s Mugi, I think I’ll be fine. How about you, Mugi? Am I not good enough?”

Hana had a bright red face, but a serious look on her face.

Hana has been by my side since high school. She was always cheerful, easy going and caring. she encouraged me a lot when I was having a hard time, but I’ve never seen such a earnest and determined expression from her.

I got up on my knees and hugged Hana as tight as I could.

“Yeah…it has to be you, Hana. I want to stay by your side forever…let’s get married.”

Hana patted me on the back.

“Baka! I didn’t know you’re going to propose me…but yes. I’m going to marry Mugi! Make me Mugi’s wife!”

She told me so.

When I looked at Hana’s face again, she smiled back at me with tearful yet joyous smile on her eyes.

We had sex for the first time that day.

I was so scared of sex, but with Hana, I was excited and ejaculated normally without being scared.

It had been a long time since I had sex so I didn’t have a condom, but Hana told me that we could have sex without one, and since I said I would marry her, I was ready for it, so we did it raw.

Hannah was a virgin, and afterward she told me that it was worth the wait.

The next day, I got our marriage certificate on my way home from work, and we immediately signed our marriage certificate together.

I decided to ask my parents to sign as witnesses and the two of us went back to our hometown for the weekend.

When I returned to my hometown, I went straight to Hana’s parents’ house first to greet them on the wedding day.

Hana’s parents have known me since high school, they welcomed us with a slightly sarcastic but very happy welcome, saying,

‘I’m glad you finally decided to marry her.’

When I brought Hana back to my parents’ house, my mother said,

‘Yes, yes, I knew the two of you would marry each other eventually, but I didn’t expect it to take this long.’

Then, my mom even said to Hana with a big smile on her face,

‘Thank you for always being there for Mugi! Please continue to take care of Mugi!’

After greeting both of our families and filling out the marriage certificate, we returned to the prefecture where we lived and filed the marriage certificate that same day.

After registering our marriage certificate, I noticed that when I hugged Hana and slept with her, I’m able to fall asleep easily without thinking about that nightmare scene in the student council room.

It was also the same for Hana, after we both realized so, we always sleep together in each other’s arms.

We continue to sleep in each other’s arms even after we began our married life, even after our child was born, even after our child became an adult, and even after our grandchild was born.
