38 - `jealousy?`
madoka: *spacing out* *tears are flowing unconsciously*
chiizu: madoka-san! *ikemen smile*
madoka: eh? chiizu? you're here?
chiizu: un.. *shy smile* hmm? -eh? madoka-san why are you crying?
madoka: *sob* *laid her head on the short girl*
chiizu: madoka-san? is there something wrong?
madoka: *sob* ah- gomen..
chiizu: *worried* are you okay?
madoka: it's nothing, don't worry *trying to smile*
chiizu: *shy smile* uhm.. madoka-san are you free today? can i invite you to eat at restaurant or cafe near here? uhm.. if it's possible.. hehe,
madoka: it's okay, i'm free today *smile*
-at the cafe.. madoka was trying to forget her problems instead indulge herself with delicious foods she had ordered while talking with her bestfriend's cousin..
chiizu: *looking worriedly at madoka who was crying earlier*
madoka: won't you eat? the food is delicious~
chiizu: are you okay now madoka-san? *smile*
madoka: i'm really okay now.. ah- by the way, what are you doing here chiizu? where is iichan?
chiizu: ah, i went here because of a sports meet so..
madoka: basketball?
chiizu: no, it's track and field.. they asked for help and i couldn't refused *sigh*
madoka: ah.. that's so like you haha, -but how did you know i was here in tokyo? and you've showed up in front of school too? and iichan, what is she doing? seriously, she didn't even mailed me even once ever since.. i'm quite mad about her, tell her that *laughs*
chiizu: *smile* actually, she asked me to check on you and how are you doing
madoka: asked you? why didn't she come here herself?! *pout* is she really busy that she can't just get a day to see me? is she really that busy that's why she's forgetting her best friend?
chiizu: hehe, but she asked me to tell you this.. `wait for me, okay~` is what she said..
madoka: ehh? *smile* will she visit me?
chiizu: probably, she's very worried about you, i bet if she's not really busy with our family business, she'll follow you here..
madoka: *sigh* family business huh.. *frown*
chiizu: there's nothing we can't do about it.. *small smile* ah- but if i may ask, why are you crying earlier madoka-san?
madoka: hmmm... *looks down*
.
.
chiizu: ah- sorry for asking.. hehe.. *scratches the back of head*
madoka: no, it's nothing really.. i'm okay now, thanks chiizu..
chiizu: ano sa~ uhm.. iichan told me to tell this to you.. `no matter what, i'm right here`
madoka: *smile* really? but i can't even mail her or call her though *pout*
chiizu: well, maybe it's because in one call she'll go here immediately, that's why she didn't even gave you her new mail address
madoka: haha, she won't do that~
*ring*phone ringing* *natsu calling*
madoka: *looks at her phone* *sad face*
chiizu: hm? won't you answer it?
madoka: *sigh* it's okay.. *turns off her phone*
madoka: ne, what is iichan doing now?
chiizu: she's same as ever.. *smile*
madoka: i couldn't contact her, she change her phone right? why isn't she calling me? i'm really mad at her! tell her that okay? and..
,
,
,
,
and so madoka spend sometime talking with her best friend's cousin who suddenly showed up in front of their school just when she wanted to cry.. she focused her attention on asking how her best friend is doing as they haven't met her for a long time or even talk to her on the phone..
chiizu: ah- it's getting late madoka-san, should we go back home now?
madoka: hmm..
madoka's mind: if i go home.. *chest tightens*
chiizu: madoka-san? don't you want to go home?
madoka: no- let's go home now *smile*
chiizu: ah- don't worry i'll pay for our meals
madoka: eh? are you sure?
chiizu: hai *shy smile*
madoka: thanks for today chiizu..
chiizu: uhm.. i'll accompany you going home madoka-san
madoka: eh? no need, don't you have to go back to fukuoka now?
chiizu: nah, it's okay i am here for one week and it's already late, we should get going madoka-san *smile*
.
.
- in front of mayuki residence, madoka already arrived with chiizu accompanying her going home..
madoka: *sigh*
chiizu: *small smile* well then, i'm going back now..
madoka: un, thanks again chiizu.. ah- don't forget to tell iichan what i said okay? *smile*
chiizu: *smile* hai- ja, i'm going *bows*
when chiizu already left, madoka went in front of the door, but she was surprised to see natsu standing there..
madoka's mind: i wonder what happened to natsumi and aoitan.. *holding her tears*
natsu: maa-chan, where have you been? it's already late, and who is that?!
madoka: nothing.. *ignores natsu*
natsu: hey-! don't ignore me maa-chan, i'm worried about you, i was about to look for you but you went home late with someone
madoka: natsumi, i'm tired please let me rest.. *ignores natsu*
natsu: maa-chan!
------------------------------------------------
meanwhile, in some other place in the city.. the short ikemen who visited madoka earlier was talking to madoka's bestfriend on the phone
chiizu: yep, i met your bestfriend this afternoon
iichan: oh- thanks a lot cousin~! ^o^ you're really the best~
chiizu: yeah, yeah..
iichan: hehe~ so how was my bestfriend chiizu? is madoka doing good?
chiizu: you should visit her yourself you know..
iichan: eh?! did something happened to her?
chiizu: i don't know but she seems to have a problem
iichan: i see.. hehe, did you tell her what i asked you to tell her? *hyper* what did she said?
chiizu: she told me to tell to you that she's mad at you
iichan: ehhh?! T^T
chiizu: *smile* but she misses you so she doesn't know if she'll hit you or hug you by the time you meet each other..
iichan: haha, that's sound so like her.. ii ne~ i want to go there now.. to where my bestfriend is.. to where madoka is..
chiizu: iichan, are you really transferring here in tokyo?
iichan: un, i want to be with my best friend so-
chiizu: iichan, i met Jiina this morning..
iichan: oh~ is that so? hehe- *faint voice*
chiizu: *sigh* iichan, what are you gonna do?
.
.

------------------------------------------------
-next morning, it was weekend.. last night she didn't talk to natsu at all.. madoka wanted to know what happened with aoi's confession but she's afraid to ask.. ..no- maybe, she's not afraid to ask.. she's afraid to know the answer..
madoka: my head hurts..
madoka's mind: i shouldn't have cried last night..
*phone vibrates*messaged recieved*
madoka: a message? *chest tighten* it's from aoitan..

natsu: maa-chan! breakfast, it's ready now..
madoka: *startled* *turns her back not facing natsu* i'm not hungry yet..
natsu: maa-chan, why are you ignoring me?
madoka: i don't! i'm talking to you right?
natsu: then who is with you last night?
madoka: *ignores natsu*
natsu: why aren't you saying anything? maa-chan, who is she?
madoka: *still ignoring natsu*
natsu: i'm worried about you, you know.. who is that maa-chan?
madoka: why do you care who am i with natsumi?
natsu: eh? because- you're special to me.. a very special friend
madoka's mind: friend huh,
madoka: *chest hurts* is that so?
natsu: yep, so?
madoka: it's none of your business natsumi!!
natsu: *sudden anger* none of my business? okay, okay, sorry for bugging you.. sorry for caring and being worried about you- maybe i'm just the only one who only thinks we are close friends.. sorry for asking *walks away* <(`^´)>
madoka: natsumi you are so selfish!!! i hate you.. i really hate you-
.

iichan: haha~ okay okay, go and have breakfast now, i won't hang up..
-that whole day madoka spend her time talking to her best friend on the phone, and mailing her.. she continued to ignore natsu..
natsu: who is she talking to? well, i don't care.. i'm just asking her and told me it's none of my business and i thought she considers me as her close friend..
.
.
natsu: . . . ah-! i'm just gonna sleep!! (눈_눈)
the next day, madoka is still ignoring natsu.. she don't want to think about her problems and she misses her bestfriend so she spend her time with her phone mailing her best friend..
.
.
.
.

------------------------------------------------
-Monday came, another school week approaches but madoka is still avoiding natsu..
-morning, at their classroom
natsu: aaahh-!
aoi: nattan? is there any problem?
natsu: nothing much.. *in a bad mood*
chihiro: did you and maa-chan have a fight?
natsu: *puppy eyes* mou~ chiichan, it's not my fault T_T
aoi: what happened?
natsu: i'm just asking who is she with last friday because she went home late but she said it's none of my business?! i'm really worried about her she went home late then that's what she will say? and here i thought she considers me as her close friend.. tsk..
chihiro: uhh.. ^_^"
aoi: ehhh? who is she with? eh?
natsu: hmpt..i don't know..
aoi: haha, there there nattan.. *pats head*
natsu: *sigh* *looks at madoka from afar*
natsu's mind: i wonder why is she like that to me..
chihiro's mind: *looking at natsu* nattan, could it be she's..
.
.
.
.
-after class, aoi told chihiro to invite both natsu and madoka to go out and eat.. and also to help the two made up as they don't want to see her friends having a fight with each other..
natsu: eh?! but i'm not the one at fault though.. (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞
chihiro: still, you might have done something that's why she was angry..
aoi: un, that's why you should ask her..
natsu: well that's true but she won't even talk to me so how should i know?
chihiro: *sigh* i'll invite her to go somewhere
natsu: eh what for?
chihiro: for the two of you to talk silly...
aoi: maybe at the park ... what do you think chiichan?
chihiro: hmm well that will do... you two should talk...
aoi: un~ and say sorry to her!
natsu: but as i told the two of you i didn't do anything T_T
chihiro: no buts...
aoi: its maa-chan ... i don't like seeing you two like this... we are all friends right?
natsu: *pout*sigh* okay..
chihiro: i'll go talk to her now... come on
natsu&aoi: un~
.
so the three of them went back to the classroom and that time madoka was about to go.. and she's busy with her phone again
--------------------
From: Chiizu
Subject: konbanwa, madoka-san
I'm already here at the front gate
of your school
ah- let's try the crepe this time^^
----
natsu was looking at madoka who was busy with her phone, and moreover she's smiling
chihiro: maa-chan~
madoka: hmm? *still reading the new mail she receives*
chihiro: let's go to the park today, hehe~
madoka: eh?
chihiro: uhm hehe~ let's go to the park, are you free today?
madoka: *looks at natsu with aoi beside her*
madoka: *chest pain* uhm sorry chiichan but i need to go somewhere today *trying to smile*
then madoka immediately went outside their classroom..
natsu on the otherhand was really mad..
natsu's mind: *pissed off* tsk! why are you mad at me anyway?! i didn't do anything to you! tsk! mou~!!! busy huh?! none of my business huh,
natsu: *follows madoka*
aoi: eh? nattan?
natsu: if she doesn't want to come with us then we'll just follow her
chihiro: nattan i think that is a bad idea she might be angry at you more
natsu: come on~ *still walking fast to follow madoka*
.
.
.
madoka is already near the front gate and there is someone waving at her
natsu: who? (๑‾᷆д‾᷇๑)
natsu's mind: you rather go with that person instead of us?! your friends?! -_- tsk!
natsu: that's the person i was telling to you guys earlier, it's the person who is with madoka last friday
aoi: eh?
natsu: come on
chihiro: nattan calm down for a sec!
natsu: but chiichan! why is she like that?! i didn't do anything to her at all and instead of coming with us, her friends! she's with that person,
chihiro: maybe she's her friend you know..
nattan: then why won't she introduce us? it's suspicious right?
aoi's mind: eh? nattan.. why is she mad like this?
chihiro: ok we get it, let's go follow her, but nattan should calm down okay..
natsu: hai.. *pout*
.
