Part 3: The Stranger
Date: 3 March 199X
“Thank you, Kirishima.” Few minutes ago, both he and his secretary had just uncovered the fact that there were two same people sharing a same name but were different in age. Asami knew he could trust the report given by his super efficient secretary. Takaba Akihito’s case was indeed unusual. A man, who was supposed to be 13 years old in this year, appeared from thin air in the middle of the road as a young man.
“What should we do, Asami-sama?”
“I don’t think the Takaba boy know anything about this. So, there is no need for us to watch the family and create more suspicion.” Asami paused, thinking for the next course of action. “Hmm, for now just keep an eye on the young man.” He frowned as he remembering Akihito’s amnesia. “Due to his memory loss, it may be impossible to ask anything now. However, according to the doctor, there is possibility for him to regain his memory. And I believe that will be the time for us to find our answer. Prepare a room in my penthouse. It’ll easier to examine him further if he stays there.”
“I understand.” answered Kirishima. Asami put the file on Takaba Akihito on his drawer. Noticing that his secretary did not move an inch from his position, he knew that there was something else that he wanted to inform to Asami.
“Kirishima, is there anything else?”
“Yes. It’s about your new club in Tokyo. The engineer says that the design of the building is finished.”
“Show me.” In seconds, the blueprint of the high class club was spread on the table. Hmm, this is good. It seems I make the right choice of choosing him. “This is okay. Reward him for his talented work.”
“Of course, Asami-sama.” Kirishima bowed and made his way to the exit until something crossed his mind, causing him to move back to the centre of the room again. Asami gave him a questioning look. “That reminds me, your fiancé, Tomika-san has called.” Kirisihima could detect the discontent on his boss face.
Asami took a deep breath. “Just send her flowers. It should be enough to make her quite for another few days.” Kirishima nodded and this time he really left the room. Asami slumped on his chair, thinking of the unnecessary trouble that his parents had created for him. Asami understood much that he did not have any interest in his fiancé. He remembered when his parents told him about the pretty Tomika. As to please and mostly stop his parents’ nagging since Tomika’s father and his father was an old acquaintance, he allowed himself to meet her. He met her and dined with her, but still he felt nothing. Now was even worse. He started to dislike her for keep calling and trying to get his attention. She is boring. Greed is all over her face each time she looks at me. The kind of woman who only loves money. I bet one reason for her to agree in becoming my fiancé is because of my money.
Asami decided not to think about Tomika anymore. He rather put his mind on his current work. He never really cared about relationship anyway, and he certainly did not believe in love. Growing in the dark part of the world, he was learnt and taught to make use of people around him to his benefit. And it was definitely not easy to win his trust. Hence, until this time Asami Ryuuichi had not experience what true love was.

“Wow. This is your home?” asked Akihito unbelievably to Asami.
“Yeah. Is there any problem?”
“Nope. It’s that this place is amazing.” complimented Akihito. His head kept turning left and right to scan the whole area. “Asami-san, is it really okay for me to stay here.”
“I said before, haven’t I that I feel responsible for the car incident. And I’m not a cold hearted person that will let someone who lost his memory to wander around on the street.” reassured Asami.
“You’re a kind person Asami-san.” Akihito missed Asami wicked smile. If only he know that I have hidden agenda behind my ‘kind’ action to him. The pair of golden eyes never left the young man who now examining objects and furniture in the living room. He just looks like a child, eagerly looking for interesting things. Akihito was too busy checking that he was oblivious to the gaze. The hazel eyes were entranced when something black and shiny caught his attention.
“Is this your camera?” asked Akihito, carefully touching the expensive object. Flash of image was appeared on his mind. So familiar.
“Yes. But I never really used it.” answered Asami. He noticed that was something bothering the young man.
“It’s just this thing feel so familiar.” said Akihito as he closed his eyes. “I remember that I used to hold camera every time.” murmured Akihito. “I remember that I used to enjoy capturing each moment on my viewfinder.”
“Does it mean you’re a photographer?”
“Maybe.” Carefully, Akihito put the camera back. Weird? My chest feels hurt the moment I touch the camera.
“Are you okay?” asked Asami, noticing uncertainty on the young man’s face.
“Sorry, I think I’m tired. Where can I rest?” Pointing the direction of an empty room, Asami let Akihito to leave the living room. So he is a photographer huh?
*
Akihito found himself on top of the tall building. The wind was blowing hard, causing him to shiver. Where? Without any warning, a door suddenly opened. A young man ran towards the corner, looking frantically for an escape road. He looked panic. Akihito squinted his eyes, trying to see the man’s face. It was useless. His face was shadowy, making it impossible for Akihito to determine the identity of the man was. The door opened again. This time, three men, who were bigger and taller, came out from it. Still, their faces were also unclear. The young man was saying something that Akihito could not hear to them before to his surprise, jumping from the building. The three men hurriedly ran to the side and peeked below. Akihito could see that the man in the middle chuckled as he realised that the young man was still alive, hanging on the building sign. The three men turned to go away from the place. As the man who chuckled before passed him, Akihito could hear a voice reaching his mind. “I won’t let you leave this time.”
Akihito woke up from the weird dream. What is that? And who are they? Covering his face with the palm of his hand, he tried to calm down. He finally laid down again after he felt better. Hoping that he would not have another strange dream, his eyes grew heavier before he lost unconsciousness.

Both Asami and Akihito were sitting on the chair, eating their breakfast. Few minutes ago, Asami got out of his room, and he slightly surprised to find Akihito preparing breakfast for him. Akihito smiled sheepishly as he said that he wanted repay Asami’s kindness by making breakfast for him. Asami nodded, showing that he had no problem about Akihito cooking on his kitchen.
“How is your sleep?” asked Asami, reading newspaper after their breakfast.
“Great. The bed here is far better than hospital. I have good sleep.” replied Akihito, thinking that he did not really want to tell Asami about his dream.
“I see.” replied Asami nonchalantly, standing up from the chair.
“Where are you going?” asked Akihito as he saw Asami, bending to wear his shoes.
“Work. And before you ask, I’ll be coming home very late today, so don’t bother to wait for me. One more thing, never leave the penthouse.” ordered Asami before he closed the door to the penthouse.

Ha! If he think I will stay at the penthouse for another day, he’s wrong. Taking a deep breath, Akihito enjoyed the cool air. He strolled around the park, taking picture of couples, family, children, animals, and anything that he liked. I hope Asami-san don’t mind if I borrow his camera. After he satisfied with the park, he walked without any destination on his mind. Right now, he just wanted to enjoy the freedom. He silently apologise for the guard that he had tricked so that he could escape. Living with Asami for ten days made Akihito noticed strange thing around the man. Asami-san is such a mystery. My memory may be foggy but I don’t think there are many people who have guards in front of their home 24 hours. He must be damn rich and successful to provide something like that everyday. Not to mention, Asami-san is always wearing expensive suits each time he goes to work.
Akihito continued to walk and he would stop few times to capture more photos. He was too immersed on his hobby that he did not realise that he had walked far. Unknowingly, his leg brought him to a place near sea. The noise of gulls filled the almost evening sky. He chose one of the pier to sit down, taking the smell of sea water, the sound of birds, and the feeling of the wind. The image before him was so beautiful that he pushed the shutter of his camera. So familiar.
“Enjoying yourself?” Asami’s voice sprang behind him.
“Asami-san?”
“Surprise to see me?” said Asami with a tinge of displeased. “You better be. What are you doing here? If I remember, I did say that you should not leave the penthouse.”
“Sorry but it’s really boring to stay in one place for 10 days.” stated Akihito guiltily. “So I escape. I have to go out to see the sky, feel the sun.......” whined Akihito on and on, stating his reasons one by one on why he needed to go out. “.......breathe fresh air.....”
“Enough.” stopped Asami to Akihito’s long ratting. “I get the idea.” Looking at the puppy eyes that Akihito gave him, Asami sighed. “I’ll let you out. But, only if you’re accompany by a guard.” Before Akihito could complaint. “Either that or you stay at the penthouse”
“Fine.” said Akihito hardheartedly. Asami smirked upon seeing Akihito’s pouted face. Hmm, he is actually adorable when he’s making that face.
*
Akihito could saw one person crying and sitting on the pier, while the other one standing and comforting the crying man. The colour’s of the sky and clouds were orange, indicating that the sun was about to leave and be replace by moon. The two figures were not clear and blurry, and Akihito could not made their faces even though he standing near to them. Both men were talking surrounded by the beautiful sunset. Just like last time, he was not able to make out their conversation. Then Akihito could suddenly hear another voice on his mind.“It may not be so bad to be caught on your viewfinder.”
Akihito jolted awake from his dream. He quickly looked at the clock. Around midnight. He almost decided to sleep again until he realised that there was light coming from the living room. Is Asami-san asleep yet? Tiptoed, he slowly approached the door. Luckily, the door was not shut, so he could just push it open a bit without making any sound. There, he saw Asami sitting on the sofa with an alcohol drink on his hand. Akihito was in awe of Asami’s appearance. His bang that he usually combed back which making him looked older was now hanging loosely in front of his face. Now, he definitely looked younger and more of his age. At first, Akihito found it hard to believe Asami was 25 years old since he looked quite mature.
Asami noticed that a pair of hazel eyes was staring at him. However, before he could call him, his phone rang, breaking the silence. Looking the caller ID, he growled immediately. He knew what the call would be. Refusing to be heard by Akihito, he moved to his own room to answer the call.
Akihito saw Asami entered the bedroom. Concluding that it was better to have another sleep, he also returned back to his bed. Curious with the call and the people from his dream, he could not fall straight away. Decided not to think anymore, he finally lulled himself to sleep.
