Love Days!
Chapter 18: Video Games And Goodnight Greetings



Actually I wanted to ask Natalie to get out of my place right away just like it was too late, he took all the sweet stuff I hid in my room and also some drinks in the fridge while sitting in front of the tv.


"Arta, let's play a video game?"


"Go home."


"I'm not going home before I play all this."


It means everything in other words he wants to be here until night, it's really troublesome.


I sighed softly then turned on the console as desired before sitting next to it. The first is a fighting game that has recently been quite popular.


Several times I won easily until ignorantly he sat on my lap while smiling happily.


"That game got bad, huh?"


It would obviously be bad, how could I concentrate on playing if he was sitting near me on his leisure.


He's totally cheating.


I just bowed my head with a crushing defeat.


"Next this."


"Ah, okay."


I reassemble the horror-themed game, in this game the player will enter the castle where in it filled with zombies that we have to defeat.


Armed with a chainsaw we slammed it all the way to the boss stage and when it beat everything it will switch to the next stage in a different place.


"I didn't know the game could be this scary" Natalie said with a pale expression.


"Not playing this one" I shouted.


"Next."


I've been stuck with him all day. Natalie stretched her hand in satisfaction then glanced at the clock that showed at 9 p.m.


"It looks like I have to go home now, thanks for today... It's so fun."


"Wait, let me take you."


"It's still not late."


"That's it."


I picked up my jacket and followed Natalie from the side after locking the door, instead of her maybe I should thank her, long ago I didn't have a single friend, when Natalie showed up I just realized that I had her.


Erin and Nurman too.


"What's Arta?"


"It's nothing, next time we go outside with the others as well."


"I'd rather be alone but I think it'll be fun too."


Unknowingly my face flushed red and Natalie took advantage of that by contracting me several times from all directions.


"Arta's face is so cool."


"Stop playing with me."


"Let's take a photo together."


"If not try where we know."


We both stood at the streetlight pole while facing the camera held by Natalie, when we heard the sound of 'Click' photos of us both taken well.


"Look, nice photo."


I nodded in response then we both continued our steps back.


"Well Arta, I see sometimes you're very studious, is there something you want to achieve?"


"Why are you asking me that?" I asked back.


"Just curious, most people at a young age like us lead a relaxed life as necessary without overextending yourself but you look different."


I paused and thought about telling her or not, until I finally decided to say it.


"Actually I'd like to take a scholarship to medical school."


"Faculty of medicine, Arta wants to be a doctor."


"What's weird?"


"Which may be strange, even if it were me, I'm not sure I could do it."


"It's not that you think yourself too great."


"This is my advantage" said Natalie smiling happily and continuing.


"I'll always support you, so watch out if you give up."


"I thought when I was a doctor I could save my father, it was a pity for him.."


Natalie held onto my shoulder, maybe this time she was looking at me seriously.


"Listen to me Arta, even if you're a doctor you can't prevent anyone from living, you're still an ordinary human being who can only make an effort and the rest is just God's fate that determines it."


"I know."


We both looked at each other.


"It's not that our height is right for kissing each other."


Where's the cool word just oi.


On the doorstep of the apartment Natalie waved at me after saying her thanks, as I was about to leave she called out to me.


"You forgot something."


"S-something?"


When I realized Natalie was hugging me while kissing my cheek until I was shocked.


"Wait, what just happened?"


"Nothing to mean, it's just a good-night kiss, in my country it's used to it, then it's until tomorrow at school."


Before I asked any further she had already run into her apartment.


Behind that door Natalie blushed in embarrassment while covering her face with both hands, she muttered softly.


"W-what did I do? How'this? Hows it? Too happy I kissed Arta, now I can't see her face anymore. Embarrassment."
