The Lover In Dream

Second Time

Time has shown the passing of noon, today Naomi is escorted to work by Hiruto alone. Kubo had to go to a restaurant to entertain his clients. Naomi was forced not to participate despite insisting on being able to accompany Kubo. Half a day he was busy with preparations for Kubo's preparations for the end of this week. Moreover, dozens of piles of documents that Kubo must approve before he went abroad.

Naomi was not told anything about the details of what countries they will visit later this week. Unlike usual, even tickets and all necessary documents are taken care of by others. Makes Naomi keep asking questions about the country she will visit with Kubo. The last time they went abroad was Korea. And that left bad memories for him and Kubo.

"Secret" Naomi recalls when she questioned them about their departure.

He recalled Kubo's treatment of him. Kubo's stifling attitude only lasted a few days after he was unfair to Naomi before her engagement day. After that, Kubo started again routine to come to Naomi's apartment just to enjoy breakfast and dinner that Naomi made. Sometimes they even have dinner out together, like a friend. Naomi has also brushed aside all the feelings Kubo had expressed to her. He no longer took a headache about his feelings, and threw it far away.

Moreover, Takai has also come more often just to visit Kubo. Last time Takai came to the office by passing Naomi just like that. It was ignored and considered non-existent. Naomi doesn't know what makes Takai bad to her, but she is one hundred percent sure that Takai hates her. Before long Kubo came from outside, he entered with a line of smiles at the end of his lips like he was holding a big smile. Without greeting Naomi, she hummed past the woman. Until shortly after, Naomi's desk phone rang.

He moved out of his chair, carrying a pile of documents that he had prepared since this morning. The pile of documents that made many women had to open the door of Kubo's room with his body, then put it on Kubo's desk. The man only shook his head at what Naomi was carrying, but then he smiled again when he saw Naomi sitting in front of him. Kubo ignores Naomi and is busy looking for something on her phone until Naomi has to snort angrily. Before long his phone rang, indicating a message entered his phone. He did not dare to open his phone while working and in front of Kubo. Worried that Kubo will assume he has no ethics when working.

"Read the message, it's a message from" Kubo said with an indistinct smile.

"Not in front of you, why send a message all" complained Naomi.

"This is something that can not be conveyed through speech" Kubo explained still smiling with an unclear smile.

The man throws a big smile at Naomi, and lets Naomi open her phone with both hands. Naomi felt strange about Kubo's behavior, she reached into his blazer bag and opened the message that Kubo had just sent. Naomi reads the message she just received from Kubo, a plane ticket.

"So we're going to Indonesia?" Naomi asked.

Kubo smiled and nodded his head.

"Surprise" Kubo said.

Naomi nodded happily, she took a deep breath before then thrusting a pile of scrap files closer to Kubo. His spirit increased many times over.

"Emmm, please sign all these files today" Naomi murmured softly.

Kubo's eyes glared at the pile of files, "Please read it to me. I'll sign all this" he asked.

"And you can read for yourself, there's still so much to do"

"I don't think this surprise is free" Kubo said, "We are also going to Indonesia for business"

"Tap you can profit from this business trip" Naomi shies away.

Naomi grumbled during Kubo's help, he was not exhausted by Kubo's behavior that took advantage of his position and business trip. But it is undeniable that he can take a little chance when returning to Indonesia. But he did not tell Rio about his business trip with Kubo, he planned to surprise Rio as well.

"Can I go home first? I had to buy some stuff for by the time I returned to Indonesia" Pinta Naomi told Kubo.

Kubo just nodded while still busy checking some of the remaining documents, after Naomi cleaned all her stuff on the table, she returned to Kubo's room.

"I can't cook dinner today, so buy me something"

Naomi's remarks to Kubo made Kubo close all the documents he still had to check, he cleaned his desk and stored his laptop in a bag. Then move on from his seat.

"If so, I'll have dinner outside with you" Kubo said.

"But I have to go shopping for some stuff, and maybe it will be a lot" Naomi explained.

"i'm also eating alone tonight" Forced Kubo.

"If so, you'll have to help me get all that stuff" Pinta Naomi.

"All right" Kubo said.

That night Naomi bought a lot of things, Kubo's right and left hands were full of Naomi's groceries. This did not make Naomi stop down the streets of Tokyo. He stopped by every souvenir shop he found attractive. Even three hours was not enough for him. I don't know how much he spent. Sometimes Kubo decided to wait at the cafe sebrang street or available seating just to wait for Naomi who was still busy shopping.

He can only shake his head when Naomi doesn't want to stop. Until they arrived at the intersection of the road to the apartment, Kubo forced Naomi by pulling Naomi's hand to turn back towards the apartment because it was almost midnight.

"I'm tired" Kubo complained.

"Hhahahahahahahah" Naomi laughed out loud when she saw Kubo's expression.

"Where do you eat?" Ask Naomi.

"Can you cook? I want some home food" Kubo replied.

Naomi nodded, they then went home to the apartment.

*****

Naomi forced her way into Kubo's apartment after taking some cooking ingredients from her apartment room. Tonight he decided to cook at Kubo's apartment. He intentionally did that because there was something he had to do for Kubo. Clean up all Kubo's personal needs to be brought to Indonesia.

Since her departure to Korea with Kubo, Naomi realized that Kubo is not a person who is good at preparing his own personal needs. The man is only good at doing business, but not good at taking care of himself. It was evident with all of Kubo's clothes tangled up while in Korea and how busy Naomi was buying some of Kubo's personal needs that she didn't bring.

After finishing cooking, Naomi asked Kubo for permission to prepare everything Kubo needed and put it in a suitcase. Because this time they will stay for one week in Indonesia, Naomi prepares a lot of clothes to wear. And equipment that he could not find in Japan. Worried that Kubo will need it.

"Don't put a lot of stuff in my suitcase, we can buy that stuff in Indonesia" said Kubo, the man shouted from his place to eat.

"Yes yes, I know you have a lot of money. But it would be nice if you use the money for things that are more useful than buying things that you already have" said Naomi.

"Haha, even you're lecturing me now"

"That's just a suggestion" cried Naomi again.

Kubo approached Naomi in her room, standing at the door and looking at Naomi who was sitting on the floor with Kubo's stuff scattered on the floor.

"You prepare breakfast for me, take care of a lot of things for my work and personal needs, you also cook dinner for me every day, you worry if I get hurt, take care of me when I'm sick, lecture me, talk to me, and gave me a suggestion to use my money well. Why aren't you my wife?" Goda Kubo has arrived.

Naomi stopped her movements, she silently stared at the contents of Kubo's suitcase that she had been stacking since. Kubo tries to get closer to Naomi, sits next to Naomi and faces her. He looked at Naomi, looking at her face.

"Why don't you just be my wife?" Repeat Kubo.

Naomi smiled, "You asked me to forget everything you ever said about your feelings, and asked me to stay away from you. Should I forget this one too?" Ask Naomi.

This time their eyes were fixed, Kubo's face flushed red as Naomi gave a small smile.

"Even if you're engaged to another woman, I'm not equal to her" Naomi explained.

Naomi stood up, and decided to leave. But before he left, Kubo pulled Naomi's hand and held her there.

"He will always lose if you have to face you, you always have a place for me" Kubo continued.

"Unfortunately, I'm not someone you can compare with anyone else. I am me, and he is still him. You started the wrong way" Naomi explained.

He tried to pull his hand off Kubo's grip, but the tighter he tried to release Kubo, the more forcefully Kubo tried to hold him. Kubo pulls Naomi's hand until Naomi's body turns to face him. He looked at her in Naomi's eyes. They stared for quite a long time until Naomi finally realized when her phone vibrated. He moved away from Kubo and went to his apartment.

"What'sthis? Why does my heart beat so fast when I look at her" Naomi thought hurriedly into the room.

Last night Naomi thought about what happened in Kubo's room. His heart beat rapidly as he recalled the incident, his face suddenly reddened.

Wh why?

Do I like it?

Why would he look at me like that?

Did he realize it.

Why would my heart have to beat so fast while looking at him.

How's this.

In a different room, Kubo also could not sleep thinking about the gaze of Naomi's eyes that so close his heart. At first he just wanted to tease Naomi, but when he saw the woman in front of him. His feelings change quickly. The desire to flirt becomes a great desire. The desire to stay with Naomi, the desire to hold Naomi back. Accompany him, and do everything for him. Without thinking, either Naomi liked it or not.
