So here the next chapter, actually i almost lost my laptop because my mother got mad at me for too much using it, but i want to post the next chapter as fast as i could

Chapter 5
2 days after the last chapter
Since that day Sae and Sayaka’s behaviour became strange they didn’t talk to me that much and I lost Rino too, I couldn’t reach her and whenever I called her, her phone was always off or she didn’t pick it up. I was really frustrated now, although the engagement was failed and now I lived at the second floor of the café, I still had a big problem. It’s not a financial problem but it’s about my relation with my friends
And today just like the other day the café is busy but the different that Sae never tease me again, I should happy about that but I began to miss it and her grin. Sayaka was just as cool as always but I still can feel the distances between us. Now is our rest time, 11 o’clock
“ Rie..” Sayaka opened the talk
“ Yes?”
“How’s your new room? Is it comfortable?”
“ Yes, thank you for your help though” I said
“ Actually-“ Sayaka said again
“ What?” I said
“ No Sayaka… You shouldn’t tell her about that” Sae said
“ No Sae.. She must know that” Sayaka added that made me more curious
“ What do you want to say? Just tell me” I said
“ Actually Sashi called me this morning” Sayaka said
“ What?! What did she say? Is she alright?” I asked her
“ Of course she isn’t alright after what happened” Sae said sarcastically
“ Sae…” Sayaka said with her soft tone
“ She told me that she will go back to Germany this afternoon” Sayaka said again
“ What?!”
“ The flight is 13 o’clock today” Sae added, I took a glance at the clock and found out that it already 12
“ Let’s go then” Sae said as she took her car’s key
“ To where?” I asked
“ Of course to the airport” Sae said again but I just continued to sit
“ Hey.. what are you doing? Let’s go or we will late” Sae said again
“ No..”
“ Why?” Sae asked
“ I don’t want to hurt her even more” I said as I lowered my head
“ Do you even know why she told me about her flight?” Sayaka asked me
“ No, I don’t”
“ She told us so that we can tell you” Sae said
“ She love you so much Rie, even since in the senior high school” Sae added
“ And we know that you love her too” Sayaka said
“ Let’s go!” Sae said as she pulled me out
“ I will wait here!” Sayaka shouted from her chair
And with that I and Sae were in our way to the airport. Sae had driven the car rather fast but we were trapped in the traffic line now. The airport is already near though. Suddenly Sae opened my side car’s lock
“ Go first Rie we don’t have much time left” Sae said to me and I gave her a nod before got out of the car and ran as fast as I could to the airport
‘ I hope I still can make it’
As I reached the airport I immediately went to the information area
“ Can I help you Miss” Said the receptionist
“ Yes.. Does the flight to Germany already take off?” I asked her
Sae’s POV
After I parked the car at the parking lot, I immediately entered the airport and saw Rie was sitting in the front of the entrance.
“ Can’t make it, huh?” I asked her and received a slight weak nod from her. I tapped her shoulder and signalled her to go with me back to the café
“ At least we already tried our best, right?” I said to cheered her up
“ Yeah…” She answered me as she shed her eyes’ edge to stop the falling tears
“ Treat me an ice cream Sae?” she asked me
“ Which flavour?”
“ Vanilla” she said as she linked her arm to mine
“ Okay then, let’s buy it in the usual café “ I said
“ Let’s buy one for Sayaka too”
“ Okay.. She likes the chocolate one right?”
“ Yes”, the conversation ended when we entered the car
“ Just cry Rie… Don’t hold it… Nobody can see you except me” I said as I tapped her shoulder. Tears already fulfil her eyes
“ No.. I won’t cry” She said as she shook her head
“ I will go out then” I said as I opened my side door but she stopped me
“ Don’t you dare to left me too” She said, sobbed
“ Okay… I won’t leave you. I am sorry” I said to Rie as I hugged her and let her cry out at my embrace. It’s hurt to see my best friend crying like this but I can’t do anything, right?
“ She said that to me too, but she left me” Rie said while sobbing, I can see that she’s struggling to stop the falling tears
“ Let’s buy the ice cream then” I said
“ I will buy you two” I said again that received nods from her
“ Let’s go then” I said as I drove the car to the place
After we bought the ice creams we went back to the already closed café.
“ Welcome back” Sayaka said
“ Here.. we bought you ice cream” Rie said as she handed the ice cream to Sayaka
“ Are you okay?” Sayaka asked her
“ Yes.. I am reeeealy fine because Sae treats me two ice creams today” Rie said with her big smile
“ No… you aren’t okay” someone said as she went out of the kitchen
Rie’s POV
“ No… you aren’t okay” I heard the most beautiful voice that I missed so much and I quickly looked at the direction where the voice come from and found Rino stood there with her luggage
“ I am not imagining because I ate too much ice cream, right?” I asked Sae
“ I don’t know Rie… I just looked at you eating two ice cream but I can see her too” Sae said in response
“ You’re not imagining Rie, Sae… And eating too much ice cream can’t make you hallucinating” Sayaka said
“ I’m real you know? “ Rino said, I immediately punched Sae
“ Ouch… why did you do that?” Sae asked as she caressed the punched area
“ Is it hurt?” I asked her
“ Yes of course” Sae whined
“ We are not dreaming then” I said as I walked towards Sashi.
“ Small,” I said as I touched her boobs
“ Heyy….!! What are yo-“ before Sashi could finish her words I immediately hug her
Sashi’s POV
Rie hugged me really tight that I couldn’t breathe, I could feel that she was crying in my embrace
“ Shhh… Don’t cry Rie… I’m here now” I said
“ You’re a liar, you said that you won’t leave me but you left me” she said, still crying
“ You left me too, Rie and it’s really hurt “ I said as I pull her out of my embrace. I took her hand and put it on my chest
“ Here. It’s really hurt here” I said again. She looked at me for a while
“ Small” she mumbled
“ Yah..!! You’re really mean” I said as I turned around. Then she back hugged me
“ I’m sorry, won’t say your boobs are small again” she said
“ No, I won’t accept your apologize”
“ Do both of you forget about us being here?” Sae asked us, Rie quickly broke the hug
“ Hehehe… “ Rie said in response
“ So Sashi, you owe me an explanation” Sae said as she crossed her arms
“ Okay” I said
FlashbackI was running out of the hospital, my tears already flowing down. I never thought that Rie would agree the plan, yeah I know that the plan was her father’s last will or somewhat but couldn’t she just told her parents that she will marry me? Her father just wanted to see her married before he died right? I didn’t know what to do my heart is really hurt, I love her so much. At the entrance I saw Sae and Sayaka
“ Hey! It doesn’t work, huh?” Sae asked me as she tapped my shoulder, I just nodded in response
“ I must go now, I promised to my mother that I will call her every morning. See you” I said and went away without caring her answer
“ Sashiko wait!” I could hear Sae tried to stop me but I didn’t care I need to be alone now
I arrived at my house and clock the door. I turned off my phone not wanting anyone disturb me. I threw myself on the sofa, I could smell her scent there, the nicest scent I’ve ever smell in my life, the smell of person who I love the most and I hate the most now. As I smell the scent her face kept going around in my mind, her beautiful smile, her lips, her black hair, her pouting face, everything about her. It hurts my heart. I was crying and crying until I fell asleep because of tiredness.
As I woke up the sky was already dark. My stomach began to growling. So I went to the kitchen to make something but ended up making coffee while crying. Rie likes coffee so much that she wanted to opened a café since high school. And now what the hell I’m thinking? My stomach was growling and I made a cup of coffee for it? I knew I’m an idiot but not this much either. So I drank the coffee in one gulp, it was hot but the pain in my heart was still worse than the pain on my tongue. I laid back on the sofa again, I began to love the sofa now. I tried to sleep but the pain kept waking me up. Frustrated, I turned on my phone to saw 3 mails and 48 missed call. I opened the missed call first to see 35 was from Rie and the other was from my mother. I called my mother and told her that everything was alright and that I ran out of my phone battery because I forgot to recharge it yesterday. Then I opened the mails
The first one
Rino… I’m really sowreee… Forgive me, ‘kay?
The most precious person in your life, RieThe second one
Hey.. already home? Want to talk? I miss you chuu…
The person who missed you the most, Rie
The third one
Oy! Already sleep? I go away from the hospital and decided to life in the café now, Sae and Sayaka helped me to cleaned the room and to take my things at my home. Want a cup of tea? My treat!
Your future wife, Rie
I didn’t know if I should laugh or cry now. Before I could decide which one I should do suddenly I received another mail
Rino… Don’t avoid me please… I’m alone at the café or I should say my home now, Sae and Sayaka already go home… Want to talk?
Your lost little girl, RieI wanted to talk to you too, but my little heart didn’t give me its permission. I’m sorry Rie. I turned my phone off again. I didn’t know why but I felt really relieved to know that she is alright. And I went to the dreamland.
I woke up early today and immediately turned on my phone. I received 2 mails and 5 missed calls. I opened the mails
The first one
Already sleep? Have a nice dream dear… Let’s meet at the dreamland okay? I’m going to sleep too. See you.. Maybe tomorrow?
Your beloved girlfriend, Rie
The second one
Yo… Do you wake up yet? I’m already wake up… Hey..!! Wake up and send me a good morning message, you lazy Rino
Your abandoned girlfriend If I wasn’t wrong the second mail was sent two hours ago and now it’s already 8. I really wanted to send her a mail, but once again my heart didn’t let me to.
I went to take bath and made some meal for my breakfast. My phone rang for the nth time since I looked at it 30 minutes before. I thought it was Rie so I just avoid it. After I looked at it again, the half caller was my mother so I called her back
“ Hello Mom, “
“ Hello my dear… Have your breakfast yet?”
“ Yes Mom, just have it”
“ Don’t you miss you mom and dad?”
“ Of course I miss you two so much”
“ Want to come here?”
“ But-“
“ You can think of it and we already bought you a ticket and the flight is tomorrow afternoon okay?”
“ Okay mom, I will think about it. See you”
“ See you my dear, take care”
After I hung up the phone a received a mail, but I didn’t want to see it now let’s see it later. I thought back to Germany wasn’t bad, I miss my parents and I had nothing to do here anymore, right? My reason to be here already gone so just back home then. It’s better to pack my things now so I don’t have too many things to do tomorrow.
Time gone by and I didn’t realize it was already 5 p.m. I’m really hungry now since I didn’t eat anything after my breakfast. While eating I opened my phone and there were 4 messages and 41 missed calls that came from Rie. I opened the mails
The first one
Hey… Got breakfast yet? Want to come to the café? Sae and Sayaka are avoiding me since this morning… I’m really feel lonely now.. Answer my call pease….
Your girlfriendThe second one
Yoo… What are you doing now? Are you okay? I’m sorry Rino…
RieThe third one
We closed the café early today because Sae and Sayaka said they have something to do. And I’m all alone here now… Don’t you miss me? Do you think Sae and Sayaka are official now? If they do I want to tease Sae just like she tease us before. Hehehe…
RieThe fourth one
You really don’t want to talk to me, huh? I’m pouting right now
RieAfter I read all the mails, I heard a knock at my door. So I quickly turned off my phone and went to the door
“ Yes.. Wait a minute” I said as I opened the door and saw Sae and Sayaka stood there
“ Hey…” Sae greeted me awkwardly
“ Ah.. Hey…” I answered
“ Do you mind to ask us in? it’s cold here” Sayaka said
“ Oh.. I’m sorry… come in” I said as I opened the door wider
After we sat at the living room
“ So.. What do you want?”
“ It’s okay if just a tea” Sae answered me
“ You know that’s not what I mean Sae” I said as I rolled my eyes
“ We come here to see your condition” Sayaka said
“ Rie brought you here?” I asked
“ No it’s our own idea, Rie don’t know about our coming here” Sae answered
“ Just like you see, I’m okay, I’m really okay though” I said
“ No.. you’re not okay, your ayes are red” Sae said as she showed her apologetic smile
“ I just cleaned my house there were many dust here and there so yeah you know what I mean”
“ Okay then…” Sae said again
“ You know, Rie looked at her phone more recently” Sayaka said
“ So what?”
“ Her eyes are redder than your eyes” Sae added
“ And she almost collapsed three times today” Sayaka said
“ So what’s the matter for me?” I answered as cold as I could even though I was really worried about Rie after I heard her condition
“ I think she caught cold too but she insisted to open the café, she agreed to close the café early today because we said that we had something to do” Sae said. I already know about that though, the last part
“ Oh yes.. She moved to the second floor of the café to since yesterday” Sae said as Sayaka nodded
“ We come here as your and Rie’s best friend” Sayaka said
“ It’s hard to see both of you in this situation” Sayaka added
“ Yeah… we already watching both of you since our school day, and we know that you love each other but didn’t want to tell it because you afraid that could make our friendship broke” Sae added
“ We know that you really hurt but we can’t just blame Rie for it even though we can say your pain is because of her, right?” Sayaka said and I thought she is right
“ In the other hand, Rie is hurt too. She must choose between her parents or her lover. Don’t you think it’s a hard decision?” Sae asked me. I didn’t know what to answer and just nodded my head
“ She doesn’t want to make her parents sad nor make you sad neither. And I think you already know that” Sayaka said
“ So what I should do know? She already engaged to that man” I said as tears began to flowing down on my cheeks
“ The engagement was fail, Sashiko” Sae said
“ Eh.. Why?” I asked them, confused
“ Why do you think Rie lives on the second floor of the café now?” Sayaka asked me
“ Eh…”
“ She said to her parents that she will only marry you and go away” Sae said
“ Really?” I asked her
“ Yes… why we must lied to you?” Sayaka added
“ Ah… we must go now” Sae said as she looked at the clock
“ Hmm… Yes, see you Sashi” Sayaka said as they walked away
“ The decision is in your hand Sashiko… Rie decided to be with you and she already lost her parents because of that. Don’t make her even more hurt Sashiko.. We trusted Rie to you, okay?” Sayaka said as she closed the door.
And suddenly I received a mail again
Hey… Have your dinner already? I’m at the park now I can’t resist the loneliness anymore… I never feel this lonely before, it’s because of you Rino, my irresponsible stupid girlfriend…
RieAfter that I received a mail again
It’s really cold here… I just realized that I didn’t wear my jacket…
RieAfter I read the last mail I immediately took one of my jacket and went to the park. When I arrived at the park I could see Rie was sitting on one of the bench there and she was crying while tapping her phone and suddenly I received a mail from her
I think I will become a human ice now… Hahahaha… What are you doing now?
RieWhy it could sound so cheerful when she was crying so hard now. I knew that she is a strong girl. And now I realized that it’s really cold here, I wanted to give her the jacket now but my feet didn’t want to move. Then I received a mail from her
I think I should go home now, I do think that you will come here before, but you didn’t, huh? It’s okay though.. Wear your jacket if you want to go out, ‘kay? I don’t want you to catch cold
RieThen I saw her stood up and left while hugging herself, I still could see tears flowing on her cheeks. I am the worst girl on the earth, right? I saw her like that but still didn’t want to approach her when she really needed me. Then I went home with tears flowing down on my cheeks, I didn’t care about the other people who looked at me. When I arrived at home I received a call from her, I really wanted to pick it up and when I already pressed the button, my phone turned off because of running out of battery. I threw it away on the sofa and went to bedroom since the clock showed that it’s already midnight now. But before going to sleep I decided to recharger my phone first.
Today I supposed to flight to Germany to meet my parents there. I still unsure about what I must do today. If I meet Rie I don’t know what to say and now I realized that I’m still not good enough for her since what happened yesterday. And if it’s the case then I just go back to Germany and leave her here so that she can find the other people who is better than me. I’m afraid that if I back to her, I would hurt her again.
So I decided to go to Germany and called Sayaka to say goodbye
“ Hello Sashi”
“ Hello Sayaka, i-“ I couldn’t finish my words, I felt that there was something in my throat that stopped me to speak
“ Hmm… What’s wrong?”
“ I will go to Germany this afternoon”
“ What? Why?”
“ I think I have nothing to do here, and my parents already bought me the ticket yesterday”
“ So what about Rie? Do you want to leave her alone here?”
“ She isn’t alone Sayaka, she has you and Sae”
“ But she needs you”
“ She will find the other person who will be much better than me Sayaka”
“ Do you really think she will?”
“ Of course”
“ If she is like that then she already married and have two children now Sashiko”
“ Eh..”
“ You see that she is waiting for you in this three years”
“ She won’t wait for me again Sayaka, just tell her that I will never back here”
“ it’s better if you think about it once more Sashi, just to let you know when you left us before we almost lost her”
“ What do you mean?”
“ No need to know since if I tell you, you will still go”
“ Okay then if you already decided, have a nice flight then” Sayaka said again as she hung up
What’s she meant by almost lost her? No she won’t do anything just as a suicide, I better to prepare myself and went to the airport now. After I finished took bath I received a mail
Hey… Good morning… I woke up late today.. when I wake up it’s already 10 and I immediately send this message to you.. What a good girl I am, right? I must go now Sae is already glaring at me.. Hehehe… She you… chuuu…
RieThe mail made me hesitated for a while but I already decided that I will go, it’s for her sake too, right?
To Be Continued
The mails are playing the most important part here
i think i must prepare for my exams tomorrow
See you in the next chapter then
