Chapter 7: Unexpected KissWith all the boxes and bags lying on the solid ground, Yuki arrived to her new apartment earlier that it should be. She was in front of the three-floored apartment building, scanning the exterior and stared blankly by the wooden sign at the left corner of the building. She coughed to clear her throat, and began to read aloud what was written in the wooden sign:
‘Welcome to Watanabe Apartment’
As usual, the word Watanabe caught her attention again and her eyebrows twitched, ‘There’s a lot of Watanabe, however I would not be surprise if I’d be bumping on the same person all over again.’ Yuki heaved a sigh as she looked by the newspaper she got before, and the wind, again, gushed into her face softly.
Shortly after that, a girl appeared by Yuki’s sight. It was not was the girl Yuki is expecting to see, but she recognized the voice. It was the one she had a talked over the phone. ‘Kashiwagi Yuki, right? The girl in front of her had asked.
‘Yes. I’m the one who called yesterday.’ Yuki gave her a smile and bowed lightly.
‘Oh, welcome to Watanabe apartment! My name is Watanabe Miyuki. I’ll be gladly to assist you for today.’
Yuki for the first time had felt wonderful just because it was a different person in front of her, not the one she had been thinking a while ago. After their small conversation, Miyuki helped her moved Yuki’s boxes and bags by her apartment in the last door of the third floor, numbered 304. Miyuki explained that the water and electricity has not been fix yet, and her cousin goes to the agencies to have it work by 3 o’clock in the afternoon. ‘If you ever need electricity for charging your gadget or need to take a bath or even have a drink, please don’t hesitate to knock on my apartment, numbered 101,’ Miyuki said after they have finished moving Yuki’s boxes and bag.
‘Thanks. I would be sure to pay a visit after I’ve fix first my things.’ Yuki replied before Miyuki left.
Feeling satisfied by her new apartment, Yuki continued unpacking her things and carefully placed them by her new cabinets. Her new apartment was a little spacious than her previous one. It took her about three and half hours to settle her things to the right place. Just then Yuki looked at her wristwatch, it is already five in the afternoon and Yuki was confident that the electricity and water are now both working. She decided to take few minutes of break and after that, she went to her new bathroom to have a warm bath.
However…
‘Eh!’ Yuki’s eyes widen. She opened first the light yet it did not open. Yuki did not continue bothering instead continue to remove her now sweaty clothes as it might be just the light bulb that has a problem, and went over the shower area. With all her clothes removed, Yuki opened the shower but… no water came out. ‘What?’ Yuki asked annoyingly as she glared over the shower. ‘They completely forgotten it, did they?’
Quickly, Yuki wear her clothes, came out the bathroom and walked down the first floor at Miyuki’s apartment. Before she can even knocked by the door, she was halted by a loud voice inside. Miyuki was talking by her phone, likely angry.
‘What? What do you mean you forgot?’ Miyuki yelled. ‘Do you think I will be able to explain to her that easily? You better go home, now!’ Miyuki turned off her phone before the other line can speak and throw herself to the sofa as she was thinking of an excuse.
Yuki somewhat understand what happened from what she heard. Miyuki’s cousin unbelievably forgot about Yuki’s electricity and water line to be fix today, afternoon. ‘So does this mean I will take my bath by public baths?’ Yuki thought as she began to walk back her apartment and decided not to knock. However… when Yuki was walking back she was by accident got hit by a bicycle running in full speed.
‘MOVE OUT!’ said the mysterious driver.
BAMThe loud crashing made Yuki and the unknown rider fall down the ground. Miyuki was surprised by the loud sound and opened her door immediately, and found Yuki and her cousin on the ground, completely out of place. Yuki got herself faced the floor as the other figure had her head glued on the floor and the bicycle’s chain flew over the rider’s forehead, miraculously.
‘Yuki-san, are you all right?’ Miyuki helped Yuki instead of her cousin, the rider, who suffered more of pain than Yuki.
‘I’m fine. Just a few headaches,’ Yuki said as she lightly opened her eyes and regained her balance. The other figure also stood up as she hurried to bow down before Yuki, to apologize. Just when Yuki had a perfect glance over the so-called cousin of Miyuki, she literally jaw-dropped and had her index finger crook pointedly over the figure in front.
‘Ah… Why am I not surprise to see you… again?’ Yuki’s cheeks twitched, giving an unpleasant face.
Of the entire person, – Oh, how many times did I, the author, have said this same line before? – Scratched that. I am sorry….
‘Eh!’ As Miyuki’s cousin lifted her head, she gave a real surprised face. ‘W-What are you doing here, Yuki-san?’ It is no mistake was the same Watanabe Mayu. Yuki’s classmate, workmate and probably her new neighbor now.
‘Don’t go ‘e’ me and don’t give me that what-are-you-doing-here-Yuki,’ Yuki thought herself, as she was not ‘really’ surprised to bumped on her again. ‘I’ve rent an apartment here and I have a huge guess that you forgot about my electricity and water line, did you?’ Yuki eyed Mayu.
Mayu immediately invaded the eye contact of Yuki. She was not prepared by her excuses on how she forgot about those things. ‘I – ah… I let you borrow my emergency light?’ Mayu gave Yuki a small apologetic smile. In the other hand, Miyuki apologized too and promised to lower Yuki’s rent for her first month.
‘I’m really sorry for my cousin’s idiotic nature. Just for this night I’ll let you stay over Mayu’s apartment and by tomorrow I will have it fixed.’
‘Eh?’ Mayu asked. It is indeed a good opportunity for Mayu to get close with Yuki, although she is afraid if she suddenly acted strange in front of her.
‘Don’t just go ‘e’ us, Mayu. It is your fault and you must do something in return, and besides you knew each other, right?’
‘I agree with the don’t-just-go-e-me part, just that part.’ Yuki thought. ‘I don’t really mind if I sleep without light over my apartment.’ Yuki said, ‘And –’
‘Oh, no… There would be no problem over me and to Mayu. So just for this night, I really beg you to. We don’t want our client, on her very first day, have an awful experience.’
Yuki does not seem to agree with last sentence. From the very first day of her high school, she had already encountered many awful things. On top of that, Watanabe Mayu was involved. Was it just a mere coincident or it was a destiny that the gods had written for the both of them? No one knows.
‘I guess so…’ In the end, Yuki accepted it just because she had no choice and Miyuki was very persistent.
After they all agreed, Miyuki went back to her own apartment while, Mayu and Yuki began to walk to Mayu’s apartment in which it was also located in the third floor and unexpectedly just the next apartment before Yuki’s.
‘Wait here…’ Mayu commanded Yuki as she quickly shut her door, closed. She came in first to her apartment to settle few things that she does not want Yuki to see. In a matter of two minutes, Mayu quickly hid all her picture albums, her diary and locked them by her study table’s drawer with a key. Those things would greatly put Mayu in danger if Yuki saw it and that would definitely reveals her secret.
‘I’m sorry to keep you waiting,’ Finally Mayu showed up and with an emergency light in her right hand, ‘Since the sun is all down I figured that we’d need this to have your other things transfer in my apartment temporarily, like your futon and get clothes to change with.’
‘Yes, that would be good.’
The both of them went to Yuki’s apartment as Mayu hold the emergency light. Yuki went inside her apartment, pack some sleeping clothes with her, and get her futon. After that, they locked the apartment and went back to Mayu’s.
‘Otaku…’ Yuki murmured as she entered inside. Mayu’s apartment was full of anime-related things. From the very first step from the door, there were few anime posters glued by the wall. Taking another few steps, a glass divider can be seen full of anime figurines and manga collections. ‘A typical otaku,’ Yuki thought.
Mayu insisted that Yuki to have the first shower while she will have a dinner prepared. Yuki nodded and went by Mayu’s bathroom to have a shower and relax herself longer. The warm water sprinkled in her skin gave her a form of relaxation as the tiredness she got from the day slowly fades away. On the other hand, Mayu who was in the kitchen can clearly hear every drops of the water from the bathroom. The kitchen and bathroom are just next to each other.
Mayu tried herself to keep calm as she cuts the carrots in cubes. Although, the shower sound distracted her and her hands trembled as she cut the carrots, making it in a not-perfect cube shape. She cannot not really concentrate as though the shower was also inviting her. ‘This is bad as I thought.’ Mayu blushed hard as she continue cutting another batch of veggies she would need in her cooking. ‘Must continue to stay calm…’ Told herself as she brushed her thoughts away.
When Yuki came out of the bathroom, it was really expected a silence would fall over them. Although, things went different as Yuki smell something nice from the kitchen that made her tummy rumbled with sound.
‘Smells good.’ Yuki mentally commented as she went near the stove where Mayu was cooking, and inhale the delicious smell. Yuki looked by the big bowl and found saw beef curry. She gulped on how tempting the food looked. She never thought Mayu can cook this good, or maybe she should learn from her instead of continuing to have negative thoughts about her.
‘Ah… dinner’s ready.’ Mayu offered a bowl filled with rice-curry and a spoon to Yuki. Yuki without hesitation ate with pleasure. Mayu only seated in front of her, watching Yuki eat.
‘You know what…’ Yuki spoke while she eats, ‘I really thought you are very creepy person.’
‘Huh?’ Mayu furrowed her brow.
‘You’re all quiet during the first day of school and sort of have different aura,’ Yuki said straightforwardly, ‘So I thought you’re not a normal.’
‘Ah… really?’ Mayu’s lower lip curved down a little, as she apparently does not really know what to say.
‘But,’ Yuki eyed Mayu as her hands hold her chin before continuing, ‘I guess I was wrong… I think your normal and just an idiot otaku like your cousin told.’
That was an unexpected honest Yuki had told Mayu. ‘Ha-ha.’ That was only thing Mayu could respond with as she scratched her head with a cute manner. ‘I am an idiot to Yuki-san… I see…’ Mayu thought.
After the dinner, Mayu had taken a bath while Yuki prepared her futon for her to sleep. Yuki was all tired and immediately fell asleep before Mayu had done taking a bath.
In a few minutes, Mayu came out the bathroom and found Yuki now sleeping. Mayu blushed as an idea came inside her. This would be the first time she would be seeing her beloved Yuki sleeping deeply and she could not let this opportunity to be wasted. ‘I badly want a picture… However, I want to steal a quick kiss too…’ Mayu keep on battling with her thoughts, as she was getting nearer over Yuki’s sleeping face while holding her cell phone.
‘Collection first!’ Mayu settled with taking picture as she was done battling with her thoughts. Using her phone, Mayu took five shots and giggled as she looked at how cute it was. Although busy looking over the picture, an unexpected scene occurred.
The sleeping Yuki, without her full conscious had suddenly grabbed Mayu’s hand, like a pillow hugging it. Mayu automatically fell besides Yuki, her phone fell the other way and what was more unexpected happened is they kissed without Yuki knowing. Mayu froze as her lips were touching Yuki’s. The sleeping Yuki did not even know what happened. All she knows is that she grabbed a pillow and hugged it near her.
It was their unexpected first kiss.
~To be continue.
