Chapter 18
“Airi, hurry up!!!” Mrs. Suzuki shouted. She’s waiting patiently for her daughter at the car.
“Alright, alright…. I’m coming….” Airi said as she walked towards her mom with a pout on her face. “Where are we going anyway???” She asked her mother. “You still want to keep it a secret???” She continued as she stared at her mother who was smiling sweetly at her.
“If I tell you now my dear, it will ruin the surprise and trust me, you will love it…..” Mrs. Suzuki answered Airi as she drove her car towards their destination.
“I hope we are not going to someone who wanted to marry me or something because if we do, I will be very upset mom……” Airi said as she pouted in defeat. “Where are we going??? This is so unlike her…..” Airi asked herself as she remembered what happened when she came home a few days ago.
Airi FLASHBACK
Airi walked towards her house after she accompanied Risako, Chisato and Nakky after school. Airi didn’t want to go at first. But after seeing how disappointed her friends were, she changed her mind. They went to a café and spent their time there eating and talking about random things. But she knew that her friends just wanted to make her told them her problem, especially Risako. She seems very disappointed when they separated and Airi knew that her worried friend was upset with her. Upset because Airi didn’t want to share her problems with the rest of the group. Airi sighed heavily as she stared at the big blue sky.
“I sorry guys…. But this is my problem…. I can’t afford to watch all of you fight because of my problem with Maimi-chan…… I am very sorry….” She said to herself.
When Airi arrived home, she was greeted by her suddenly too happy and too sweet mother. Airi knew right away that her mother was planning something. But she decided to act like she didn’t know anything.
“What’s wrong mom??? You seem awfully happy today…. “She said to her mother as she put her shoes on the rack.
“What are talking about dear??? You know that I’m always happy….” Mrs. Suzuki said as she went to her daughter and hugged her.
“Yeah right…. I know you are planning something mom….” She thought to herself. “But, by the look of your face, it’s like you have win a
lottery or something…..” Airi said to her mother as she pulled away from the hugged.
“Oh~~~ it’s not like that dear….. I just want to ask you a favor….” Mrs. Suzuki said as she stared her daughter.
“What favor?? Do you want me to cook today mom???” Airi said as she cocked her eyebrow a little.
“Of course not dear…” Mrs. Suzuki said as her patted her daughters head. “I just want you to be free this Saturday…..” She continued.
“Why??? What’s wrong mom???” Airi asked her mother in confusion.
“Well, I want you to accompany me this Saturday…. I want to go somewhere…..” Mrs. Suzuki said with a grinned on her face.
“Where are you going and why do I have to go with you???” Airi asked again. She was starting to feel a little bit uneasy with this event.
“It’s a secret dear….. But I promise you it will be worth it…. Just come with me okay???” Mrs. Suzuki said as she tried to convince her daughter to come with her.
Airi sighed weakly and just nodded her head. Mrs. Suzuki smiled and hugged Airi again.
END OF FLASHBACK
Airi looked at her mother and sighed before she turned her head away to enjoy the view outside.
Meanwhile, at Maimi’s house....
Maimi was busy tidying her room at the time. She’s doing it half heartedly because she was forced by her lovely, caring and sweet mother to do it.
Maimi FLASHBACK
Maimi was not in a very a good mood today. She had been forced by her mother to wake up earlier than she usually does during weekend and she had to help her mother tidying the house. The mood got worse when she was forced to clean and tidied her room up.
“Why do I have to clean my room mom???” Maimi asked her mother feeling unsatisfied.
“Just do what I told you dear….. It’s important you know…. Just go and fix your room after that come down to the kitchen to help me…..” Mrs. Yajima said calmly as she already knew that her daughter was starting to get irritated.
“But mom……” Maimi tried to protest.
“Not but dear…..” Mrs. Yajima cuts her daughter off. “If you refuse, I will cut 40% of your allowance for this month…..” Mrs. Yajima continued calmly.
Maimi sighed in defeat as she walked slowly to her room and said.
“You are so unfair mom….. And you are also acting weird….. But, I tell you now mom, if it turns out you are trying to hook me up with someone, I’ll kick his butt so hard that will make him regret coming here for the rest of her life…..”
Mrs. Yajima knew right away that her daughter was not only irritated, but she was also upset and annoyed. Mrs. Yajima just smiled at her daughter who was walking towards her room and thought to herself.
“You will not regret doing this my dear….. You will be happy instead….”
END OF FLASHBACK
Maimi sighed as she lied down on her bed. After half an hour cleaning, her task was done now. She stared at the ceiling as she thought about her mother weird behavior today.
“I think the one that coming to our house today must be very important…. Otherwise, mom would never bother herself to make this house spotless and she’s also cooks a lot too….. but, whoever it is, it’s better not coming here to check me up or something or I swear to God I will be very piss….”
After that, Maimi went to bathroom and clean herself up before the “guess” arrived.
Chapter 19
As they were nearing their destination, Airi was starting to feel very uncomfortable. She knew the road. She recognized the road. Even after 7 years, she still remembered the road. She looked towards her mom who was driving as she prayed a little in her heart. She hoped that what she thought was wrong. She wanted it to be wrong.
“Maybe we’re just passing by…..” She said to herself while she tried to remain calm. “Please Kami-sama…. Please don’t make mom stop at her place…. Please… I don’t want to see her anymore…. Please….” She continued.
But, Kami-sama was not on her side today. Her mother stopped exactly at the place she was feared. Mrs. Suzuki patted Airi shoulder as she smiled sweetly at her daughter. Airi looked at her mother as she tried to hide her real feeling at the time. It was becoming a nightmare for Airi now. But she knew that if she ran or showed her true emotions to her mother, this problem will became more complicated.
“We’re here dear…..” Mrs. Suzuki said as she patted Airi shoulder.
Airi didn’t respond to her mother. She just nodded her head as she slowly opened the door and stepped out of the car. Airi walked slowly behind her mother.
“I’ve told you that you will not regret coming here with me today….” Mrs. Suzuki said as she was smiling to her daughter. She was starting to feel weird when she saw her daughter didn’t give her any respond but the only thing that she could thing was maybe her lovely daughter was nervous considering the fact that they have not met each other in 7 years. She holds her daughters hand and squeezed them lightly.
“Don’t worry okay…. I know that you haven’t seen Maimi-chan for a long time, but I know that she must be very happy when she see’s you…..” Mrs. Suzuki said as she walked towards the door with her daughter and pressed the bell.
Meanwhile, on Maimi’s side…..
Maimi was just finished her bath as she quickly went to her closet and looked for her cloth. After she got dress, she sat on the chair besides her bed as was starting to think about what happen in school recently. What happened to her this week was too much to handle, especially Airi’s confession and the fact that Airi was calling her a liar.
But before she could be lost in her owned thought, she heard the bell rang and a few seconds after that, she heard the melodious voice of her mother calling for her to come down. Maimi quickly ran downstairs but when she caught the glimpsed of their guess, she froze on the spot. She almost fell from the stairs but thanks to her quick reflexes, she managed to balance herself.
“Airin…..” Maimi said. She was just so confused at the moment and that have made her speaking abilities failed her as she couldn’t said another word.
Mrs. Yajima and Mrs. Suzuki smiled at each other. If their daughters weren’t there, they might have high five each other.
After exchanging their bows, all of them went straight to the kitchen to have their lunch.
During lunch, only the voices of Mrs. Yajima and Mrs. Suzuki can be heard. Airi and Maimi tried hard not to exchange glances at each other’s.
After they have eaten, all four of them went to the living room. Maimi was about to sit when her mother suddenly said.
“Maimi dear, take Airi-chan to your room…. I’m sure that both of you have a lot of things to talk about…..”
Maimi couldn’t say anything right now. She turned towards Airi and she saw that Airi was looking towards her too.
“What are you waiting for Maimi??? Go now….” Mrs. Yajima insisted.
Maimi sighed heavily as she nodded and said.
“Okay mom…. Let’s go Airin……”
Airin reaction was exactly the same as Maimi. She sighed heavily and nodded.
When both of them went upstairs, Mrs. Yajima and Mrs. Suzuki smiled at each other.
“Looks like our plans work Yajima-san….” Mrs. Suzuki said.
“Yeah, when two mothers plan something, nothing can go wrong….” Mrs. Yajima said with a little chuckled as she sat on the couch. “But
i’m feeling a little bit weird….. Or maybe I should say concern….” She continued as she stared at Mrs. Suzuki.
“What do mean by concern Yajima-san???” Mrs. Suzuki asked.
“Don’t you notice both how both of them were acting Suzuki-san??? They don’t even greet or talk to each other……” Mrs. Yajima answered her.
“Well, maybe they are feeling a little bit awkward…. That’s all….. I mean, it has been 7 years since they meet each other again…..” Mrs.
Suzuki said with great confidence.
“I guess you’re right….” Mrs. Yajima replied as she continued to chat happily with Mrs. Suzuki.
Meanwhile, at Maimi’s room…….
The silence was killing both of them. Ever since they have arrived inside Maimi’s room, they just stayed in silent. Airi was sitting on the floor while Maimi was sitting on her bed. After a few more minutes of awkward silence, Maimi decided to break the ice.
“How’ve you been???” She asked. But after that, she felt like kicking herself in the head for that stupid question.
Airi answered the question without looking at Maimi.
“I’ve been better….”
Then, there was an awkward silence again.
Without Airi knows, Maimi was looking at her from a time to time. Maimi was lost in her owned thought as she stared at Airi’s cheek, face
and lips.
“Why are you staring me???” Airi asked when she realized that Maimi was staring at her with a dreamy looked on her face.
That question startled Maimi a little bit as she turned her head towards the other side and blushed.
“Nothing…. I’m sorry….” Maimi said.
Then again, the silence came back.
Maimi stared towards the window for a while until she knew what she needs to talked with Airi. She turned towards Airi and moved to sit in front of her on the floor. Airi was a little bit surprised but she didn’t move.
“Airin….” Called Maimi.
Airi looked towards Maimi who was sitting in front of her as she replied.
“What???”
“About the confession the other day…..” Maimi said as she could feel her heart beat faster than the bullet train.
“What about it???” Airi asked. She didn’t show any emotion towards Maimi as she stared at Maimi with her brown eyes.
“I’m glad that you love me…. I really do…. Because, I love you too….” Maimi said as she smiled and moved her hand towards Airi.
Chapter 20
“I’m glad that you love me…. I really do…. Because, I love you too….” Maimi said as she smiled and moved her hand towards Airi.
When Airi heard the word I love you from Maimi, she was becoming furious again, she could feel her anger and her blood boiled inside
her as she slapped Maimi hand before they touched her. After she slapped Maimi’s hand, she stood up and glared at Maimi. For the first time in Airi’s live, she felt like kicking someone so hard in the head so that they would stop being an idiot. But, Airi still managed to restrain herself from doing that to Maimi who was looking at her with a very shocked expression on her face.
“Love me??!!! She shouted. How many times do you think you want to lie to me???!!!!” She said as she glared angrily at Maimi.
Maimi was shocked when she heard Airi said that again. And this time, she want the reason.
“What do you mean by I am lying??? I never lie to you… I really love you!!!” Maimi said as she put her hands on Airi shoulder.
“Don’t touch me!!!!” Airi yelled as she pushed Maimi onto her bed. “You have lied to me seven years ago and you are still doing it now!!!”
She continued. “Why do you say you love me when you already have your stupid bitch besides you??!!!” Airi continued in anger.
“What the hell are you talking about Airin!!!!! You’re not making any sense!!!!” Maimi yelled back to Airi as she glared at her.
“Not making any sense???!!! I’m talking about your bitch Mai!!!!” Airi said. She could fell her body trembled now. But she doesn’t care
anymore. She’s going to settle everything today.
“Mai??!!! She’s just my friend!!! And don’t you dare call her that!!!! She’s a nice person!!!” Maimi shouted at Airi, she was back on her feet now. And every second she stood, her knee became weaker and weaker.
“Nice???” Airi said sarcasticly. “She’s a demon and I hate her!!!!” Airi shouted back.
“I told you don’t talk about her like that!!!” Maimi growled as she walked closer to Airi and raised her hand to slap her. Fortunately, Maimi
didn’t do it. “I’m sorry Airin, I didn’t mean to…..” She said. She was feeling very guilty right now.
“Why do you stop??!!!” Airi yelled. “Do it!!! Slap me!!!” Airi challenged Maimi. “Just do it!!! I did mock your girlfriend right!!!” She continued.
“She’s not my girlfriend!!!! She’s just a friend!!! A very good friend!!!” Maimi yelled in defence. “There’s only one person that I love, and
that’s you!!!!” She shouted.
“Stop saying you love me Maimi!!!! I don’t trust you!!! You just a liar!!! You are a cruel person who likes to play with someone heart!!!!” Airi snapped. Suddenly, Airi noticed a photo on Maimi’s table, the photo of her. She pushed Maimi onto her bed again as she reached out for the photo.
“Who give you the right to keep this photo??!!! What if your girlfriend sees it???!!!” Airi shouted as she tore up the picture.
Maimi eyes widen as she stood back up and grabbed Airi’s hand.
“What the hell are you doing??!!!” Maimi shouted and she pushed Airi hard to floor.
“Argh!!!!” Airi yelped as she rubbed her elbow.
“Airin!!!” Maimi quickly went to Airi and hold her. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to push you…..” She apologized.
“Get away from me!!!!” Airi pushed Maimi as she ran out of Maimi’s room.
“What have I done…..” Maimi said as her tears starting to fall.
At the same time…..
“Are you sure she has confessed???” Mai asked the person who was calling her.
“Yeah…. I heard them….” The person replied.
“Hmmm….. It’s ok…… everything’s going as plan…… Call me later, I have date with Kankan right now….” Mai said as she shut her phone.
