Nine years later.

Kousei and Kaori's bond and their as-strong-as-diamond desire to be with each other brought them into the marriage altar in late 2023, at the tender age of 23, which raised some eyebrows.

As they are already professional and wealthy musicians at that point, the expenses would not be the problem. But they decided to keep the festivities as simple as possible.

The music world had dubbed them as "MIYARIMA" and despite the union in which Miyazono Kaori is now Arima Kaori, the name remained officially in use.

For start about things that happened before they get there; three months after Kaori's surgery, Kousei's father, Takahiko Arima, started dating Kousei's mentor, Seto, widowed since her husband's death in a bus crash in 2012. They married each other in 2016. As the result, Koharu was adopted into the Arima household and Kousei joyfully received her as his own sister that he never have.

Now they are going to enter the new phase of their life.

"How about we go around the world and show them our music?" Kousei suddenly muttered as they went into their newly acquired, via auction, home in Sagamihara, Kanagawa Prefecture as Kaori's parents had opened a new branch of Ma Fille there and decided to make Sagamihara their permanent home. 

"Why not?? Honeymoon and performance is not exclusive with each other anyway. The stars are bright, so let's go on a journey once more, my husband, while we are still young! Because who knows the future?" His wife replied with enthusiasm as they sat in the house's porch, looked at the stars above.

"That's why!" Kousei exclaimed.

Kaori soon contacted her manager and his. The preparations began..

Months passed. "Are you ready?" Asked Kousei's manager and producer, Sakura Ayase, to both Kousei and Kaori as they concluded their last meeting in the couple's house three days prior to their departure for their first destination, Honolulu, in Hawaii, USA. She also accompanied by Kaori's own manager, Doi Masaaki, as they were also performed individually.

They answered yes.

"The most important thing for now is your health. Use this opportunity to gain a good rest as this will be your first long, world tour." The managers said.

"Hai!" They answered in unison, determined to make their first world tour and honeymoon to be their stepping stone for their own music to touch people around the world...

May 31st, 2024.

"Your attention please, all passenger of All Nippon Airways Flight number NH 7024 heading for Honolulu, please board the aircraft immediately.."

"Its us, dear!" Arima Kousei called his wife to board their flight. As they are in business class, they are prioritized during the boarding, after "special condition" passengers such as disabled, elderly, pregnant women, passengers with children, and others with medical conditions.

Along with the couple, two bodyguards also accompanied them into the business class cabin of the brand-new ANA Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, followed by their managers.

Takahiko and Seto was unable to accompany Kousei due to their duties, as well as Kaori's one.

Meanwhile, Emi, Takeshi, Watari, and Tsubaki positioned themselves at Narita Airport's waving gallery to saw Kousei and Kaori's.

At 18.55, their eyes are on the runway, as the Dreamliner executed its take-off roll, with the couple inside.

"Good luck, Miyarima, Reach your stars." Emi Igawa waved her right hand with tears built up on her eyes upon the American-built airliner (with some sub-components of it were made in Japan) left the runway.

"Stay safe out there. Make Japan proud!" Takeshi said.

"Please, come back to us. May the gods be with you" Watari and Tsubaki also waved their hands and prayed for their friend's success.

Hours later, inside the business class cabin, Kousei and Kaori, which Kaori behind him on the 1-2-1 configured, individual, staggered seat (1), engaged the aircraft's in flight entertainment system and in testament of their classical origin, choose one of the pieces at the playlist. It's Piano Sonata No. 14 Op. 27, Moonlight Sonata First Movement, Ludwig van Beethoven. Meanwhile, Kaori choose Mozart's violin concerto No 3.

They keep their imaginations across the pieces before they stood up to kiss each other.

"Oyasumi, Kaori"

"Oyasumi, my dear.." Kaori replied before they went back to their seat to rest.
