Matsuzawa is supposed to be going on a bus instead. Tamura gets to the bus and boards it thinking Komaki's on it. Except it turns out she's outside the bus. Bus takes off, with Matsuzawa chasing the bus and Tamura declaring their love for each other. Then we get the DAWWW moment from the people on the bus. The bus driver's nice enough to stop and let Tamura off. Some more DAWWWWW. And then Tamura brings Matsuzawa back home, where we see Matsuzawa's uncle and aunt waiting over there and they take her home abruptly. The uncle really doesn't seem to like Tamura. Tamura's left slack jawed.
Meanwhile, somewhere else Souma and Takaura are teaming up to cook up a scheme on getting Souma and Tamura hooked up together since a long distance relationship has a good chance of not working out, and since technically, Tamura did admit that he liked Souma (even though he said he couldn't anything until he resolved this Matsuzawa situation). And somewhere else, sleeping on ride home, is Matsuzawa, who's having a dream about getting number 1 in a race so she can get a reward.
Sort of like a "to be continued ending" that never got continued, simply because...there's really no need for anything more to be said.
It's been a long time so I probably screwed up some details. I can't find my novels either.
Personally, it was obvious that it was going to end with Matsuzawa with all that angst that Tamura was going through over here for most of the volume. If it ended without the bus chase/manga equivalent, he really would have done nothing at all.

From my blurry memories, it was something like that, yes. Though unless you read the whole two novels, the meaning of some of the final events (like Komaki's dream or her chasing Tamura) is harder to understand/less powerful, I feel.
