Lavienrose18Chapter 19 - Summary
1st Pic:
After the graduation ceremony, Flampe brought Sugar to Perona and asked both of them to reconcile. But the two seemed to be prideful at first.
Sugar: About what happened last time, it was your fault!
Perona: Eh? Yours, too!
Sugar: Well, yeah. Anyway, let's just move on and forget about it.
Perona: No problem.
They shook their hands together as a sign of reconciliation, then they all greeted each other a happy graduation.
2nd Pic:
After Perona had a picture-taking with her batchmates, she was so happy seeing Mihawk attending her graduation together with Zoro and Robin. She got surprised even more when Shanks and Makino came and congratulated her with flowers. Shanks said, "Dad wants to congratulate you too, so he's inviting all of us to celebrate in his place today. Let's go!" But Mihawk asked them to go ahead and leave him and Perona for a while. "Don't worry, we'll be there after we talk." He assured. Then, the four of them left to go to the venue.
3rd Pic:
Mihawk and Perona were still in the school, finding for a place to talk. Mihawk suggested to go to the garden, but Perona preferred the playground. As they went there, Perona quickly ran to the swing out of excitement. Mihawk carefully pushed the swing to let her enjoy it more. Although he was glad to see her happy, he's a bit sad at the same time as he couldn't deny that Perona still deserves to enjoy being young instead of rushing to do what an adult should do.
When Perona got tired of the swing, Mihawk bent down and gently held both of her hands. "Can I ask you something? But this time, I want you to say yes only." Mihawk said.
Mihawk: Can you please start studying abroad soon?
Perona: What about our wedding? Don't you want to marry me first?
Mihawk: Of course, I really want to. But... You are supposed to enjoy being young and single instead of rushing to get married. You're too young for that.
Perona: Eh? There's no RIGHT AGE to fall in love!
Mihawk: But there's a RIGHT TIME to get married.
Perona: If you really love a person, you should do everything to be with him/her. LOVE is an action word!
Mihawk: To WAIT for the right time is also an action word.
Mihawk sincerely explained, "I want you to fulfill your own dreams first before starting to build our dreams together. I want you to become a nurse, just like what you always dream of..." Perona was starting to get his point, but she couldn't stop worrying. "Will you promise to wait for me although 4 years are too long?"
"I had waited for you for 36 years. 4 years are nothing compared to that." Mihawk replied. He also assured that he'll visit her once in a while so they won't miss each other. Perona smiled as she finally understood that Mihawk loves her so much that he's willing to wait if it's for her own good.
"I think we should go. I heard that Zoro will wear a bear mascot to entertain you." Mihawk said, which made Perona got extra excited, "Kumashi!"
