Sorry for this late and boring update again.
Work Load was seriously packed and we are expect to have more.
I'll try to make it up to you guys once that my schedule is not that tight anymore
special thanks to @gek geki for sending me a PM to update ~
Chapter 5.2
Our already awkward situation became worse. Since that confession incident, it seems that Erena is avoiding me now. Way to go genius.
Should I feel any remorse for this? I guess not. Maybe this is the right decision for both of us. I should just accept that she and Yokoyama are a good match.
I just sighed.
Goodbye my best friend.
Goodbye my first love.
=====
RING!
RING!
RING!
RING!
With one final attack, I was able to shut off the last stupid alarm clock. I lazily stood up from my bed. Having a very bad bed hair, bed marks and all, I looked at my calendar to confirm what day it is.
Right, today is the beginning of the new school year. Our senior year.
(Getting sick of the fast forward events? Please blame author-san for this, she told me that she is having a hard time on her work so she decided to speed things up).
Wearing the familiar seifuku uniform, I went on my way to school. I was wondering on what she’s been doing.
“Good morning genius!” someone shouted.
Honestly, I don’t need to look on any direction to know that the ever so annoying puppy like friend of ours just greeted me.
“Hi there!” giving her a high five.
“By the way, it seems that Shinoda-sensei used her sadistic behavior again to force the whole faculty staff to put us all in the same class.” Jurina said.
“Only foolish people won’t know that she doesn’t want to memorize different names again. How stupid.” I told her.
“You got it right and it also means that we’re in the same class with the most popular couple in school” she continued.
“. . . . . “
I just kept quiet and gave her a glare, but instead of being scared, Jurina just smiled.
We went ahead to our classroom and waited for homeroom to start. Somehow, I saw Yokoyama-san entered the classroom as well, but there are no signs of Erena. This is odd, I looked at Yokoyama with a questioned face. Seeing me do that, she gave me a hand gesture that Erena is not with her then she bowed down like she was apologizing.
Somehow, it made me feel uneasy, but I decided to just ignore her absence and brought my attention to Shinoda-sensei who just entered the classroom.
But as a few more days passed, there are still no signs of Erena. This is now making me worry. I never change my e-email address nor my cellphone number, but ever since the confession incident, she never contacted me.
Having no other choice, I walk to where Yokoyama is seating after our last class was finished.
“Hey there” I greeted her while giving her a quick hand salute.
She looked at me and gave a quick bow.
“I guess you already know why I am here?” I asked her.
“Hai.”
“Okay, so where is she?”
“Gomenasai, but she asked me not to tell you her whereabouts”
“Why is that?”
“She doesn’t want to make you worry”
“But she is now making me worry” I answered while raising my right eyebrow.
“I understand your point, but please be patient. She also told me that once she is ready, she will be the one to tell you why.” She said and then excused herself to attend club activities.
Seeing that Erena is not answering my mails and calls, I just followed what Yokoyama told me. I waited even though it is almost killing me.
Two weeks later, Yokoyama-san approached me and said to meet her after school.
“She said that she wanted to see you.”
========
To be honest, I never expected (nor dream) for this moment to come. How do you expect me to walk with my “rival” where I don’t have the slightest idea where we are going?
As she is walking a few good meters ahead, I can’t help myself but to keep glaring at her (even though she has a *ahem sexy back.)
“Ano, Watanabe-san, I know that you hate me coz you think I stole Erena. But glaring at me like that won’t do anything” she said making me raising my eyebrow again.
Tsk, does this girl have psychic powers or something?
“By the way, we’re here now” she continued.
Seeing the tall white building in front of us gave me a not so good omen. What in the hell is happening here? In all places where we can meet Erepyon, why does it have to be in a hospital?
We entered the building and went straight to the eighth floor. Yokoyama then stopped walking.
“She is in the last room in the left. I’ll wait for you here.” She said.
“You don’t need to be jealous because your girlfriend asked her best friend to see her.” I told her with a sarcastic voice.
“She broke up with me in the start of the 3rd semester. Now go, she’s waiting for you. I’ll stay here and then we can talk about it” she replied.
Her last statement bothered me. But knowing that Erena is waiting, I went straight to her room.
Now for the moment of truth. I knocked on the wooden door. After hearing a faint “come in” I opened it and saw my beloved best friend lying in the hospital bed while watching the sunset.
She is still beautiful, but now observing her state, it makes me want to run towards her and cry. She became thinner, everyone knows that she has a pale skin, but not as pale as this one. It is like color was drained from her. Only stupid people would ask why. But I can understand what is happening.
My Erepyon is sick.
Fully aware of my presence, she looked at my direction.
“It’s been a while” she said
“Hai” I just nodded.
After a minute of silence, I decided not to hold myself back. I obviously threw myself to her and hugged her tight. She hugged me back as she also started to cry.
“Stop crying you big crybaby, they might think I made you cry” I said
“But . . y-you j-just d-did BAKA!”
“Remember that my IQ is 180 so don’t call me BAKA!”
I’ve released myself from the hug, and pressed my forehead with Erena’s.
“But perhaps you’re right. I’m indeed a baka for not telling you the truth.”
“I missed you Mayuyu”
“I missed you too”
“And I Love You” we said in unison.
==========
“Thank God those two finally decided to be honest” the puppy looking girl said
“Matsui-san, you know that eavesdropping is quite a bad habit right?”
“Call me Jurina. But are you okay with this kind of setup Yokoyama-san? I mean she’s your girl friend after all”
“She was. Besides, seeing her happy is already my happiness.”
“Such a martyr”
“You can say that”
