Fourty two

Happy reading!

"Hi!" the Japanese man was smiling and welcoming me. Ryu. The man who yesterday invited me to meet, has now seen again in front of the entrance of the restaurant.

I, who was just about to walk into the restaurant, had to stop for a moment. There are still two hours before the restaurant will start running its business as usual.

I smiled briefly at him. "Hi!" reply greet.

"Azzura, may I have your phone number? I'll pick you up later in the afternoon. How's it?" ask in fluent English.

He was persistent as well apparently. After yesterday I refused to give my number, now the narrow-eyed guy is trying to repeat.

"I went home with my mother" I subtly refused.

"I'll take you home and your mother."

Oh gosh.

"No, Ryu, thank you."

"You still remember my name?" ask her with a clean face. It seemed that he was happy just because I mentioned his name.

So, why not? Just yesterday I met the time I had forgotten.

"certain."

"Oh happy!" he smiled broadly. Sweet too. But that's all. I'm not interested.

"Can I pass?" he stood in front of the door, thus preventing me from entering the restaurant.

"What time are you coming home? I'll wait." That guy hasn't given up yet apparently. I don't know why my subtle refusal couldn't make him back off.

"No. No, Ryu! No need to wait for me."

"I'm still going to wait." she blinked one eye and left me. While I looked resignedly as slowly the guy disappeared after turning away from the restaurant area. Then I entered the restaurant to carry out my duties immediately.

"Finally Azzura has chosen one," greeted Ami who was rolling her hair so as not to fall apart. We were still near the storage locker to get ready, before the work started any minute.

"What?" I asked for cuek while putting my bag in a locker.

"Japanese Chowok."

Then I took a hair tie from the bag and immediately pinched my hair so as not to disturb. "I don't want to think of anything like that yet, Mi. There's still a lot I want to accomplish in the next few years."

"You know Ryu?"

"Don't be jealous! Before you arrived, I met him first. And he's asking you to me, Ra."

"Who is jealous?"

Ami laughs seductively. "Cie .. cie ..."

"Seriously, I'm not interested in him."

"Why?"

I shrugged my shoulders, not explaining.

Ami seemed to be thinking. "You must have just made a verdict?" guess it. "All right?!"

Without me saying it, Ami concluded first. I was finally able to smile.

"That's it, pas dong. Now is the time for you to move on, Ra. Forget about anyone in your past. It is time to find a new one and move on with life happily. Because your heart deserves to be happy, Ra."

Ami's words made me a little stunned. I remember what Mom said last night. And that made my brain think that their words had a point too.

I deserve to be happy. Right, right?!

There is still another half hour before the time I get a break every day. I was preparing some drinks before taking them to the customer's desk. The restaurant owner called me out loud from inside his room. I haven't been able to walk to get to my boss, knowing that he has come out of his room in a hurry.

His face looked panicked and tried to speak as calmly as possible when he approached me.

"Azzuran ..."

"Yes?"

"Your mother had an accident. The taxi she was in fell into the river."
