(Ahmed couldn't stop himself from laughing loudly at his family's sudden shock and confusion. Even Misaki, though she didn't understand everything in the call, was following his bright features and pure laughs with a questioning astonishment. After he ended the call, he turned to her, his eyes gleaming with playful mischief.)
Ahmed (in Japanese, laughing): "I told them that I... got married!"
(Misaki's eyes widened even more, and a spontaneous bewilderment she couldn't hide overwhelmed her. For a few seconds, she froze in place, before she, in turn, burst out laughing, putting her hand over her mouth to muffle it. Ahmed quickly explained to her that he was just joking with his family, and that their reactions were priceless. The shock on Misaki's face faded, replaced by a wide smile, gleaming with childlike spontaneity.)
(They exchanged laughs together, pure laughs that eased the tension-filled atmosphere between them after the morning's bold bet. For a moment, they both felt that the distance separating their two worlds began to narrow even more... and that every moment they spent together, even the crazy and fun ones, left a new mark on their hearts.)
