MatchmakerSome people find it weird, some don’t even consider it as a job even more as a career and the rest just don’t even bother.
“UUGH! Good morning sunshine!” A Lady uttered much to her contentment as she stretched her slender arms up in the air. The girl named, Watanabe Mayu.
Matchmaker.
Another day of work, where she’ll meet different people, different people with different personalities, different preferential, dreams and …..love interests. It has been years since she started working in this field, true enough she really enjoys what she does and so she doesn’t bother how people see her job. How ironic it may seem, she’s a matchmaker who helps people find their true love and yet she doesn’t even bother finding one for herself. Well more like she still believes in the existence of serendipity rather than finding true love through the help of other people I guess.
She lives in the Medieval period as you may see it.
Lost on her thoughts scanning the pile of papers in front of her, a sudden ring of the landline has echoed across her dead silent room. Sudden yet expected, since a certain client has scheduled a meeting with her that day. She then hastily picked up the phone “Good Morning, Watanabe Mayu speaking of M&M services, How may I help you?” she answered enthusiastically.
“A-Ano…Good Morning, I’m the one who scheduled a meeting for today….Kashiwagi…Kashiwagi Yuki…” the other one over the line responded with an obvious
‘hesitant’ tone. Indeed, majority of the women who seek for this kind of service rather feel shameful as it may seem
‘they’re-that-desperate’ for a man or even a woman in some cases. Knowing better than anyone else, well more like used to this kind of encounters, Mayu just reverted the awkward conversation as she recited the necessary information about their scheduled meeting on that day “So…You got everything Kashiwagi-san?” Mayu asked the
‘not-so-responsive’ client over the phone probably not getting the
‘vibe’ yet of the business.
“Ha-Hai…I’ll see you then Watanabe-san” and there the client named Yuki, hung up.
After few hours of office works, like fixing files of the bio-data of her previous clients, Mayu hastily fixed and prepared herself for her expected meeting. Reaching the venue, her eyes wandered for a certain figure, thankfully she has already a copy of the application form of this Kashiwagi Yuki so she didn’t have a hard time looking for her. She found her seating at the far-end most of the restaurant. Laying her eyes for the first time to her newest client, Mayu couldn’t help but start to wonder why this girl, such elegant and appealing woman would even need her service.
Indeed, a girlfriend material.
She then walked towards Yuki and smiled as their eyes have met “Hi, Yuki…right?” Mayu uttered with a smile plastered on her face, more like a protocol gesture for her during her interactions with her clients. Yuki just nodded softly as she looked a little hesitant seeing Mayu.
===
“So…tell me your preferential…Kashiwagi-san” Hearing her question, Yuki’s gaze has wandered around seemingly thinking for an answer, a body language that made Mayu feel a little awkward
“seriously? This girl doesn’t even know what she likes….” A few moments of silence Mayu just decided to help he poor girl a little further…
“uhm..do you like good-looking people? Working at…? Age…you have preferred age?” Questions that will help her as Yuki seemed confused where to start thinking in the first place. Hearing the questions, Yuki’s expression instantly lightened up as finally she could come up with easy answers.
“I don’t mind with the physique…hmm…and work..and even age at all…..” Yuki’s face turned down once again as she realized how pitiful it might seem having
‘no-preferential-at-all’. Mayu just chuckled realizing her questionnaire was useless for Yuki, Indeed, SHE’S HOPELESS. Though it’ll make things lighter for Mayu, because if you look at it a little closer, she could even throw a random person to Yuki and just pray hard enough they’ll like each other…right?
“Sou! Let’s work hard Kashiwagi Yuki!” Mayu uttered as she stood up and offered her hand to her newest project, Kashiwagi Yuki.
“Hai!”
===
Few days have passed and as expected Mayu worked hard to find the
‘perfect-match’ for Yuki rather finding actually for any random client as Yuki doesn’t even have a single piece of description to her liking. Thought that actually became a burden for Mayu as she doesn’t want to become negligent, she really does want the best for Yuki anyway. She never wanted any of her clients to engage to such
‘fail-relationships’ cause she considers it as her personal failure as well.
“Oh God, send me an angel right now….” She uttered desperately as she scrolls down the bar on her laptop screen, scanning the portfolio for some possible matches for Yuki. She was almost giving up when suddenly a recent file has just been added on the folder from an unknown local connection.
“Miyazawa….Sae”
===
“Eh?” Yuki uttered in surprise as Mayu presented the results of her days of hard work for Yuki.
“Un…” Mayu nodded affirming the idea of matching Yuki with her newly found another client in her agency named, Miyazawa Sae. His profile was just too appealing for anyone like Yuki, every bit of information won’t let her down. Good-looking, has his own business and on top of that he’s the same age as Yuki so Mayu didn’t feel even an inch of doubt…
Yuki will like him.
She’s certain.
“So?” Mayu asked as she leaned forward on Yuki who seemed a little hesitant seeing the profile. Probably noticing Mayu’s enthusiasm towards her progress, Yuki couldn’t help but nod in agreement and give it a go. Who knows?
“So…next week you’ll meet him” Mayu uttered as she scribbled on the profile, probably finalizing the project she has considered a job well done. Hearing Mayu’s sudden announcement, Yuki flinched.
“Why?” Mayu asked Yuki noticing her reaction and so Yuki actually started fidgeting on her seat looking a little hesitant to answer Mayu “A-Ano….Mayu-san….” Mayu’s eyes and brain couldn’t contain and even process she was witnessing as she was certain...
“EH? Your first date?? In your whole life?! Seriously….” Mayu’s eyes grew even wider as she confirmed her presumption. Yeah. It’ll be Yuki’s first ever date. Mayu couldn’t believe it, Yuki is beautiful and so to say very appealing even to Mayu’s eyes she won’t deny it but it’s just a pain knowing it’ll be her first date ever. She’s determined to finish Yuki’s case as smoothly as possible and so she thought hard to find a solution for this sudden crisis…
She must not fail her date with Sae.
“Okay…let’s push a little harder…” Mayu said firmly as she slammed the table with her ball-fisted hand. Yuki yelped as she saw Mayu’s sudden expression….serious, she was expecting Mayu will laugh at her, mock her, but neither of those happen, in fact she felt the warmth and care Mayu has been giving her although she’s just a mere client “un…yeah”
====
“Okay…this is not a date okay? We’ll just practice!” Mayu said firmly as she stood in front of Yuki who’s dressed a little overboard as she was certain she informed the girl they’ll just practice for her ‘
very-first-official-date’ but it seems like it’ll be it already as how she looks at it.
“sou- sou- why are you over-reacting? Isn’t it normal wearing this going out?” Yuki chuckled seeing Mayu blushing hard in front of her. Mayu just turned her face away “pfft I’m…not over-reacting!”
“sou- sou…okay okay….” Yuki uttered but still a little entertained on how Mayu could act so ‘tsundere’ in a snap, letting it go. Suddenly Mayu flinched a little taken aback from the sudden gesture of Yuki, Yuki held her hand “WHAT THE?!”
“It’s a practice right?” Yuki smiled at Mayu who blushed even redder than the ripest tomato that has ever existed “Iie~?!”
“Let’s go Mayuyu?”
“Mayu-YU?!” Mayu’s eyes couldn’t go wider anymore hearing Yuki’s sudden labeling. Yuki just chuckled seeing Mayu could actually look even cuter than she is already. But half of Mayu, actually thought it isn’t that ‘bad’ though so she just shrugged it off and followed Yuki’s pace as if it isn’t her
‘first-date’ at all.
“Is this a trap…?! Sigh”====
And so day by day, Mayu and Yuki made it sure they’ll somehow meet up to have a ‘mini-lecture’ on how Yuki would respond or act in front of Sae, even the slightest detail Mayu assured would reach Yuki before her time runs out. Mayu couldn’t believe she’s actually enjoying working with Yuki as she has foreseen her case the most challenging of all.
“I think you’re ready….” Mayu uttered almost whispering seeing Yuki’s progress from their daily meet-up, showing off her contented smile…but…
Half of her is protesting…
Denying…
Wanted to say
“NO! She’s not ready at all….”But business is business….
She have to…
Let her go…
“Good luck tomorrow…Yuki”
=====
Every tick of the clock seemed very distracting as Mayu sat on her swivel chair, literally not doing anything. She couldn’t even concentrate anymore thinking of how Yuki’s
‘blind date’ would go. It’s already past dinner time and she was expecting “she must be walked home after dinner….”
Her eyes grew wider realizing what she has told Yuki the other day…
“Ahm…don’t be surprised if your date will kiss you before you go inside your house okay?! Don’t over-react and never ever think of slapping him! Okay?! Okay?!”Her brain just couldn’t accept she told Yuki such idiotic idea.
“UGH! You’re really a pain YUKI!! GRRR” Mayu almost growled on her post and eventually snatched her bag and dashed to where Yuki might be at.
“NO! you’re not ready at all!!!!”
====
“Mayu…?” Yuki uttered in disbelief seeing the heavily panting figure in front of her, Mayu. Supporting her body through her knees..”You! don’t….don’t accept him…huh!” Mayu uttered still catching some oxygen, pointing her index finger on Yuki. Few moments of silence, grasping their very situation Mayu realized they were alone…
…
…
“Where is Sae….?” Mayu asked in disbelief and turned on Yuki. Yuki just shrugged her shoulders and smiled on Mayu.
“What day is today..Mayuyu?” Hearing Yuki sudden
'out-of-the-topic' question, Mayu got confused and just stood straight as she felt a little lighter not seeing Sae around “Today….today is your date…right?”
Yuki nodded “it is…”
“Today I’ll meet my perfect-match….Mayu”
=====
Meanwhile along the dark alley…“A JOB WELL DONE” some unknown figure rejoicing from his
‘project-success’.
“Well…well….not expecting less from you Sae” the other figure affirmed and complimented the other figure.
“I might say that Kashiwagi is the most challenging one though” Sae chuckled.
“Yeah…falling in love with match-maker is such a pain meeh” the other one let out a sigh.
“OKAY! NEXT CUSTOMER PLEASE?!?”
