The Trip Of My Heart

EPISODE 13 --> Child thief

Mirai shook her head slowly and said softly. "I'm fine. I was careless to get inside the warehouse without seeing the time locked. I'm sorry!"

"It seems like there is something Mirai is hiding," inner Hiro suspected.

"Alright, if you're okay. I'll take you home. You have to rest a lot at home." Hiro took off his jacket, then put it on Mirai.

"Hiro, please take Mirai home well yes," said Aiko.

"Don't worry. Leave him to me, "Hiro replied.

Aiko went back to class. Then, Hiro drove Mirai home.

"Hiro, please don't say anything to my uncle. I don't want him to worry" Mirai said.

"Yes, I get it" replied Hiro.

On the other hand, Eisuke was approaching Megumi in his class.

"Did you do it?"

"Eisuke, what do you mean? I don't understand." Megumi pretended not to understand.

"I've known you for a long time. And this isn't the first time you've hurt someone else" Eisuke said.

Megumi threw away her face. "I don't understand what you're talking about."

"Mirai! You did it, didn't you? Don't pretend with me!" Eisuke gets angry and waits for a confession from Megumi.

"I'm just giving her a little lesson" Megumi replied with a sense of innocence.

"When you were in high school you were free to hurt anyone. But this time I won't let you. If you do it again, then I won't forgive you!" eisuke said firmly.

Then, the guy goes towards the exit, but Megumi runs and blocks him at the door.

"Eisuke, I did all this for you. I really don't want to lose you. Can our relationship go back to what it used to be?" ask Megumi with hope.

"You know, it's your nature that makes me want to break up with you. We can't be together anymore!" Eisuke pushes Megumi's body aside, then the guy leaves.

After sleeping a few hours at home, Mirai wakes up and has dinner with Uncle.

"Mirai, have you taken the medicine that uncle gave you?" ask Uncle.

Mirai nodded and smiled. "Yes already. After taking the medicine, my fever went down and it's kind of better."

"Ah, thank goodness." Uncle breathed a sigh of relief. "So the guy who drove you home was your college friend?"

"Yes, he's my classmate at college. His name is Hiro" Mirai replied.

"He seems to be very attentive to you." Uncle smiled. "Let's eat fast, then rest."

After the dinner was over, Mirai returned to her room and sat down on her bed. He took out his peacock handkerchief and looked at it for a long time.

"This is a childhood memory. Memories are just memories. Can't be the future" Mirai murmured softly.

"Hey, Mirai. Want to borrow a book?" akihiro Sapa.

"Hello, Brother. I'd like to look at a book. There may be some I want to borrow," Mirai replied.

"Okay, please." Akihiro smiled in a friendly manner.

Mirai replied to Akihiro with a smile, then she walked towards the large shelf to pick a book. However, while the girl was picking out a book, Eisuke suddenly appeared and stood beside her. The man's gaze was focused and fixed on the books on the shelf.

"You looking for a book?" asked Mirai to say hello.

"Yes," Eisuke replied briefly.

"Umm, how's the wound on your arm? Is it healed?" ask Mirai again.

Eisuke looked at Mirai with a sharp look. "Stupid! You're sick yourself still worrying about someone else's injuries!"

"I-I'm not sick. I'm cured." Mirai was getting nervous.

Both of them were silent for a moment. Then, Mirai started talking again. "What's your relationship with your ex-boyfriend? Are you guys feeling better?"

Mirai asked with a slight smile, but Eisuke's expression looked angry instead.

"Why are you interested in wanting to know?" eisuke asked as he stepped closer to the girl.

The handsome guy narrowed the distance, so Mirai took a step back. And finally, the girl's back hit the bookshelf behind her.

"W-what are you doing? Stop that!" Mirai was cornered and pinched. He can't back off anymore.

Eisuke put his hands down and held both of his hands on the bookcase behind Mirai. Their bodies became so close that both of them could feel the breaths of each other.

Eisuke touched Mirai's chin and lifted her up. The handsome fellow tilted his face and approached Mirai.

"What's he doing? Eisuke's gonna kiss me?" asked Mirai in her heart.

The girl closed her eyes and her heartbeat raced. Despite this, there was no sign of Eisuke doing anything to her. As Mirai opened her eyes, the handsome man stood a distance further than before.

"From now on stop doing stupid things!" Eisuke walked out of the library without looking back.

"Didn't he want to kiss me? Um... What am I thinking! There's no way Eisuke would have intended to kiss me. I'm such a fool!" muttered Mirai.

The twilight time has come. From afternoon until evening, Mirai worked at the minimarket as usual. On that day, he was busy checking the stock of goods on the shelf. Suddenly, there was a suspicious move from a visitor. A man dressed in filthy and shabby clothes was caught taking food and taking it away without paying.

"Hey.wait, don't run!" mirai shouted at the visitor.

Mirai ran after the visitor and they entered a small, dead-end alley. Both are trapped in that alley! Breathing heavily, they faced each other. When Mirai saw that person's face, she seemed to have known him and was no stranger.

"Oh, I remember. He was the teenage boy who injured Eisuke during his time on the estate," Mirai recalled.
