The Lover In Dream

Pay attention

Kubo closed the door quickly, standing stiffly behind the door. Her heart was pounding, her lips unable to hold back a smile. He likes to see the girl in person.

"Naya, I like him" Kubo said as his call connected to Naya.

Kubo still smiled as he opened the door slowly, looking at it from there the door Naomi already closed. Only her head comes out, keep watch if Naomi comes out she will go back in soon. Kubo smiled at the door, imagining Naomi there. In front of his eyes.

"Just want to say that?" Naya's complaint at the end of the phone.

"Yes" Kubo replied briefly.

Kubo then hung up the phone upset, before long the man entered the apartment after being satisfied to look at the empty apartment door. He went straight into the bathroom and washed his face, before long the sound of the apartment door opening from outside. Kubo ran outside and saw Naomi walking out of the apartment. It was night time when Kubo followed Naomi wherever she went.

And Naomi didn't realize it. The man continued to notice Naomi's movements, and occasionally smiled. Several times Naomi quickened her steps, fearing that someone would do no good.

"Stop following me" Pinta Naomi as the crowd.

Kubo is still motionless, he sculpts when Naomi finds out that he was caught red-handed. Naomi turned around and saw Kubo there. He was a little surprised and then lowered his head, greeting him.

"I'm sorry, someone was following me. I didn't mean to say that to you" Naomi said as she looked at Kubo's face in surprise.

Kubo smiled, he then nodded.

"I was passing by, and happened to find you. I wanted to say hello, but I hesitated and followed you" Kubo said.

"Naomi, my name is Naomi" The woman thrust her hand, but pulled it back and ducked.

"Do you want dinner together?" Take Kubo.

Naomi nodded, then followed in Kubo's footsteps. They sat under the tent of the shop, the shop was made to blend with the car. The restaurant serves a lot of grilled food, including various types of meat that can be burned. There is one menu that makes Naomi almost crazy because she likes it so much, dimsum.

He chose the food that fit his pocket, but soon two bottles of soju came to their table. With two glasses of ice cubes that began to melt. The atmosphere of the night was cold, making Naomi shudder.

"Let's drink, to welcome your arrival to Japan" Kubo said.

He thrust out a small glass that already contained sake, and was greeted doubtfully by Naomi. It was her first time drinking alcohol, despite her doubts, but Naomi could not resist. The woman just wanted to keep her attitude, she received a glass of sake with both hands and downed it at once. Suddenly a bitter taste roamed his mouth quickly. Naomi's expression changed instantly, but she still tried to smile and ducked down to say thank you.

"If there's anything, just let me know" Kubo explained.

That night they came home almost midnight after talking about various experiences. Between comfortable and uncomfortable. They came home on foot to get to the apartment, a night crowded with the sound of the city passing by that never died.

"Thank you tonight" hail Naomi.

He then entered his apartment, leaving Kubo still standing there. The man was still dissatisfied despite having spent hours with Naomi. She is happy that Naomi still looks the same in her eyes even though years have passed. Even the way Naomi mentioned her own name. Behind Naomi's apartment door, Naomi criticizes herself for forgetting to ask the man's name. He was busy introducing himself. He wanted to go back out to ask the man's name, but he hesitated and could only grumble at his stupidity.

He did not know who the man he was helping at that time, he only heard a faint voice. Even when he spoke his name, he was in a semi-conscious state. I did not see the man's face at all.

When she first saw Kubo, Naomi felt like she knew him. Even Naomi knows Kubo has been following her since she left the apartment. Instead of being afraid of being followed, Naomi felt safe near Kubo. And when she heard the man greeting Naomi for the first time, Naomi seemed to have heard her voice. But he doesn't know where.

Waking up in the morning was not hard for Naomi, and her second day of work was as pleasant as yesterday. This morning Naomi's mood was full again because she got energy from Rio's kiss through a phone call. Her relationship was getting better by the day, even though her day was filled with complaints Rio wanted to meet. But it does not burden Naomi, Naomi fully understand about the feeling.

"Ahhh sun" cried Naomi while in front of the apartment building.

That morning the sun was a little visible, Naomi accidentally woke up early because this was her first day using public facilities to go to the office. He was full of preparation, even he had finished his breakfast casually. When he got out of the apartment, he did not see Kubo. I wanted to greet him this morning.

"Mr Hiruto" Call Naomi.

The man in the car was Hiruto, the driver who picked him up from the airport. The same driver, who picked her up yesterday, went to the office.

"Waiting someone?" Naomi asked.

Naomi herself did not intend to get in the car, because she already knew through Naya that the man would no longer pick her up and Naomi had to get used to going on public transport.

"Naomi san, yes, I'm waiting for someone" Hiruto replied.

Naomi smiled, and then said goodbye after saying hello. Before long, Kubo got out of the apartment and got into Hiruto's car. After hiding for a while when she saw Naomi greeting Hiruto. That morning the traffic was not so crowded, even Naomi could see Hiruto's car and someone in the car. The woman continued walking, humming. Enjoy the soft sunlight.

*****

Coming so early was Naya's old habit, even the habit that seemed to have ingrained her could no longer be changed. When it comes to the office, the first thing Naya will do is get busy cleaning Kubo's desk. But this morning, he stopped his steps when he saw that his table had changed. And he realized that the table was no longer his. Even this time, his desk had already moved out of Kubo's room.

It is not easy to get rid of old habits, when deciding to stop Naya continuously checking the state of Kubo. Such as whether the man's mood is good, or whether Naya is ready with her decision. At that time, Kubo had repeatedly refused Naya's request, but he also did not expect that Kubo would quickly find a replacement for him.

"Naomi has to attend training for a week" Naya said when she saw Kubo coming.

"Check all the reports last month, don't disturb Naomi during her training" Kubo replied.

Naya follows Kubo's footsteps, takes the report on Naomi's desk and takes it to Kubo's room.

"Don't leave this room before I ask, your place is still there. And it has not been replaced" Kubo explained.

Naya smiled slightly, she herself did not understand why she liked Kubo so much. Although only working as Kubo's secretary, but Kubo always treated him properly. Even Kubo was more like a big brother to him during his time in Japan. When Naya is sick, I'll come first and ask if she's okay. He remembers, once when Naya was first the male secretary. I told him exactly what he should do. Kubo even changed the lunch menu into an Indonesian food menu to help reduce his longing for home.

Sometimes, Naya wants to think that Kubo might like her. But Naya never thought it was important. Even when Takai, Kubo's lover had to slap him in the bathroom just because he was treated special by Kubo and Naya could only bow silently. He knows Kubo doesn't like it. What actually happened was, Kubo needed Naya because it was limited to what Kubo needed. And if there is something given by Kubo, then Naya already understands that she must let something else be taken from her. Not more.
