her ... her short hair, her bright eyes ... and the hard blows she always gave me when I called her 'macho woman'. I had to laugh quietly.
Back then we were childish and argued over every little thing.
I moved out when I was 19 ... She was so mad at me that she didn't answer ... Why was she so mad at me? Or wasn't she angry with me? Was it more of a sadness?
"Ranma! Are you still there? Ranma?"
"Uh ... yes ..."
"Your mother said to say hello ... we will be there next month. Is that okay?"
"Yes ... the house is empty anyway."
"It's a shame it didn't work out with Akiko ... she baked such delicious cookies ..."
"Tss ... Typical ... You only think about food!"
"Okay ... I just wanted to tell you some news about the Tendos ... What?Half past eleven? I still have to go tomorrow! Bye, Ranma! "
"Bye ..."

Things took their usual course ... I worked five days a week as always ... My martial arts school was going well and I was able to lead a normal life. I wasn't poor. And finally, at the end of August, I got a call from Gina.
"Hello?"
"Ranma?"
"Gina?"
"Yes it's me!"
"You're back?"
"Yes, I'm back!"
"That's nice..."
I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Shall we meet today?"
"With pleasure."
She was really very spontaneous ... but I was just glad that she was back. I was alone for five months. Nightmares and longing for Akiko tormented me for five months.
"Wonderful ..." I heard her say. "So when today?"
"I have to work first."
"Hmm ... we could just drive by."
"We?"
"Yes ... my girlfriend and I ..."
"Okay ... around four?"
"Sure. Where do you live?"
"14 Sakura St."
"Sakura ... a nice name ... That's the name of the cherry blossom, isn't it?""Exactly."
"See you."
"OK, see you later."

I had been impatient all day. Even my students noticed that.
"Mr. Saotome ... is everything okay?" they asked me.
I looked at her for a moment. Children probably had this gift to notice when something depressed someone ...
"Yes ... everything is alright ... come on ... carry on."
I tried to concentrate on work. I taught the students a few new fighting steps and corrected their mistakes.
"Well done! See you next week! And don't forget to practice!"
"Yeah ..."
I stood in the middle of the dojo. My house was empty again. My thoughts turned to Akiko. No, I couldn't think of her ...
I decided to distract myself and exercise. As I trained and practiced old steps, a strong longing overwhelmed me. I only trained like that with the Tendos. In his dojo.
"Bravo!" I heard someone say I looked at the door and there it was. Gina. She smiled at me and I could see in her eyes that she was proud of me.Proud of me? Why? She had no reason to. I went up to her and hugged her.
"Nice to see you..."
"I feel the same way."
"Where's your girlfriend?"
"Hm? She was just behind me ..."
"Hello ..." I heard a soft female voice behind Gina.
Gina stepped aside.
"So ... may I introduce you to each other?" she announced solemnly. "Ranma, this is Akane Tendo. Akane, this is Ranma Saotome."
The faint smile on Akane's face disappeared. My smile also faded.
"Akane?"

I admit ...
the part was shit ... but somehow I have to bring the part in.
I would be happy about commis and criticism ..!
until then
