Chapter 5's
Ah~ It's raining today, unfortunately I didn't bring an umbrella. This rain was quite unexpected because it did not look cloudy before.
After getting out of the minimarket which is 5-8 minutes walk from my kosan, I decided to stand for a while outside the minimarket hoping that the rain will subside soon or at least not be too heavy because it will definitely be soaked this if broken through.
Now at about 16:30, I was just out for a while to buy some toiletries but it was unexpected that the rain fell unexpectedly.
While standing outside looking at how heavy the rain was this afternoon I turned to my right and looked...
"(Wait a minute, that's right.) "
"(Reina!?) "
I saw Reina, the girl I really like was also taking shelter in front of this minimarket alone was looking towards the sky.
I really want to say hello to him, but soon I undo that intention considering he does not recognize me at this time. Although our distance was only about 3 meters but it felt like there was a gap separating.
But an opportunity and coincidence like this can not come twice "Kami-sama, tasukete KUDASAI!! (Japanese, meaning: God help me!!)" please ignored because I wibu 😅.
"(Eiettt... what is this, is my prayer instantly answered?)" I saw one of his groceries fall to the floor. This could be a reason to start talking to him. If I can't make him remember me or go back in time maybe it's good to make a new memory?
The problem he has a girlfriend is not a business at all lately, as long as there is no curved yellow janur. Moreover, their status is still dating.
(info: Arched yellow janur means a wedding party is going on somewhere around)
I crouched down to pick up the dropped object and then intended to give it to him.
"Anu, it's you knocking"
"BUHHH!!"
"(I-this is.)"
When I said that while thrusting that thing I just realized that it was a bandage.he turned towards me...
"PLAQUE!!!"
Ouch!! a raw slap landed on my cheek. (ah well, what the fuck did not know anything can be a raw slap).
- Then -
"I'm sorry... I misunderstood not knowing that you were trying to return a falling object, thank you" Reina said while showing a sorry face.
"that's okay" I replied.
I'm sure he must have thought I was a pervert, and then after that short conversation the mood went back to silence...
five minutes later -
.... (still quiet)
"(Oiiii!!!.. What kind of awkward situation is this?)"
"Anu, I-I was the one who back then.k-you remember?" ask him
"Yes, I was the one who mistakenly thought you were someone else so shoot you for no reason.sorry"
I had to say this to make him think that I was not a strange and suspicious person who made him feel uncomfortable so that he could chat more comfortably.
"Ah, that time I remember now.it's okay"
"Did you buy some school supplies? "
"......" (he was confused because your guess was correct)
"it's not intentionally looking at the contents in the plastic"
"oh yes, the plastic is quite transparent anyway ☺"
The rain began to subside before many conversations were made between us. Well, at least I've given the impression that I'm not a freak or anything
"ah! the rain seems to have subsided." Reina said it after looking at the sky for a while.
"Yes first" he said while looking back after walking a few steps forward.
"Ah yes, be careful" I said spontaneously
He left me behind and left only his perfume behind. I was glad to hear his voice again after a few months.
"(buy stationery huh? ")
- 1 year ago -
That morning I went to school as usual, but I was quite confused why Reina was not seen during the trip to school when usually she was under this tree while looking at the rice field.
" Let's guess who this is? " A person closes my eyes from behind asking a question that is clearly the answer..
"Who else tried? after all there are not many people I know in this city" I replied as I tried to take his hand off my eyes.
"Now! gift" she handed me a gift box while putting on a shy face.
"Ah, thank you.. Do you want my birthday? "
"Yes, gapapa.. anyways you always want my birthday, right? "
"Thank you, can I open it? "
"Of course, but I'm sorry the gifts are so ordinary"
After I opened, the box contained some stationery with a birthday greeting from Reina. I still keep the gift from him in my room and keep it well even though in the end the gift is lost along with all the memories of everyone I know about me.
Now there is not a single memory or sign that we know each other very closely even up to three years. Everything has been lost~
- At this time
While walking casually towards my boarding house by looking at the twilight sky I remembered it until without me noticing my tears dripping without me noticing.
Three years ago, maybe it wasn't real, we've had a lot of moments together. I have loved him so much since we met. So what is this really?
