After a long and thrilling drama, Emi finally gave up too and allowed me to resign, although she still had time to scold me, but I did not waver with my decision. Actually what I was afraid of was the threat to go home if I did not change my decision, but after Hiro spoke to him well he finally understood and did not force me anymore.
After a few days I went around looking for a job I finally got accepted to work in a coffee shop, even though only as a waitress but I was happy to finally be able to work again. I love working here because the people are so nice and also want to teach me patiently.
This coffee shop is quite famous here, no wonder this place is always crowded. But not only that, the owner also has a strong enough attraction. Someone just came here to see it.
Ren, a name that is quite popular here, he is the owner of this coffee shop. Young men who have pioneered their own business, single men who are valued by many women. The girls were willing to come here just to see it.
Sometimes I don't know why they're willing to do that. Spending money just to sit and look at it. I don't think my brain can interpret this well with their behavior.
' What is it about Nei why are you smiling', asked Rina one of my friends who also works here.
' I'm still not used to seeing those who come here just to see our boss, it feels weird', I replied.
' That's how they are, they're like seeing a famous actor'.
' You're right, our boss is great, I gave him two thumbs up'.
Rina laughs.
' Yes, you're absolutely right, but they're not wrong either, just look at our boss, whatever he's doing he's really cool, no wonder they're going hysterical'.
I looked at her and traced where the girls' hysteria lay.
'He's normal, Hiroku is cool, ' I said.
' What did you say?'. I shook my head and turned my face away. Fortunately, he didn't hear my chatter.
' Nei, this is for you'. Suddenly Mei gave me a piece of paper.
' What is this May'. Me and Lina looked at him in wonder.
' I don't know, it's from the guy who was there, he said he knew you'.
The man I didn't see anyone I knew, I muttered looking for that person.
' Thank you then Mei'.
I opened the paper and wrote a sentence that surprised me.
***Meet me
Taku***
' Who Nei' is'.
' Friends' . I'm silent for a moment. ' Oh yes Rin, can I.....'.
' Go, it's okay'.
' Thank you'.
I picked up my phone and called him when I got out of here. Ask where he is now. I met him as soon as I knew where he was. I wonder how he knows where I am here. I haven't contacted her since Yui saw me.
' Taku's'. I greeted him for a moment when I saw him. He smiled to see me. He looks so different, Taku looks thinner than usual. ' Why did you know I was here?', I asked.
' Of course I know', he answered. But I'm actually not satisfied with that answer. ' How are you?'.
' I'm good, how about you, why do you look thin like this, why don't you take care of your health'.
' Slowly Nei, I'm confused as to which question I should answer'.
Then I repeated my question again. ' How are you?'.
' I'm good, at least I try like that, I'll take care of my health, so don't worry'.
' Taku..., Yui...'.
' I know, when I forbade him to tell you, but he didn't listen to me'.
' Why did you do that, you should have told me that'.
' You know the condition, that time it was all I thought about, you guys are the ones who mean the most to me, how can I let you get hurt'.
' But knowing it now hurts more, how can you bear it yourself'.
' Nei, I'm sorry'.
' I've forgiven you, don't apologize again, I feel guilty for you'.
' Nei, whatever Yui says, please don't put it to heart'.
' I know, Yui, a very nice woman. All this time we could only hurt ourselves, not be able to do anything because of someone's ambition. I do still like you and can't forget you but I have to accept the fact that your heart has changed not for me anymore'.
' I'm sorry Taku'.
' Why apologize, you should be happy after what happened to you all this time'. .
' I also hope you're happy Taku'.
' Yes, that's for sure'.
I looked at him deeply, and there was a look of sadness on his face. I understand how he feels right now. This is the first time we have talked about our feelings. This is the Taku I used to know, who was gentle and also considerate. Even though we're separated, I hope our relationship will be okay.
' Go, they'll find you later'. I nodded then waved my hand and left.
----
I held my hands on my face, one by one they told me. I didn't go home because today was my picket.
' You're fine here yourself', asked the worried Rina.
' It's okay to go home'.
' Alright, be careful Nei'.
' Ok, be careful on the road too'.
I was so scared myself to see the breadth of this place. To finish alone would have taken a lot of time, it was certain that I would be late to go home.
' You're Nei' yourself'. I was surprised to hear that voice. ' Did I surprise you?'.
' Slightly boss'. I forgot Ren was still here. No, he does live here, upstairs, how could I forget . ' It was supposed to be my picket day with Aya, but since her mother was sick, she gave me permission to go home quickly'.
' So it is. All right I'll help you '.
' No boss, I can do it myself'.
' Why?'.
' You're my boss, how could you help me clean this place up. '.
' Do you not want to finish this job'.
' of course want to finish '.
' Or you don't want to stay with me here'.
' No boss, it's not.'
He smiled at me who was wrong.
' All right, you clean that one over there'.
' Ready boss'.
' Call Ren, it's weird to talk too formal'.
Didn't I hear him wrong asking me to call his name, how could it be like that.
' Why are you so pensive'.
' No, it just feels weird to call the boss by name, how about Ren's boss'.
' Yes it's up to you'.
I smiled with relief.
Thanks to his help, my work was finally done as well. I told him to go home. He offered to drive me home because it was too late, but I refused. I said that someone would come to pick me up, but no one would come to pick me up.
Actually I was eager to call Hiro and ask him to pick me up. But I said it, afraid to bother him because it was a night like this.
Come to think of it for a long time I haven't seen and seen her since I've been working here. He was also busy with his new project.
Offending the project, I forgot to ask Ryu about the file I gave him. I don't have time to contact him, I think he's just as busy as Hiro.
I finally got home, when I got off the bus, Nezu was standing at the bus stop to pick me up. I smiled at him, he must be worried about me. I wrapped my hand around his arm, the thing I like the most about walking with him. It's like I'm following my father first if I walk with him. I miss them.
Dad mom look at us this kid, we can get this far, you guys don't have to worry. We will fight for my mom and dad.
