CHAPTER 6 [1/2]
+CHAINED THOUGHTS+
"Yabai! It's this time already?" Shi exclaimed looking at her watch. Just a moment ago, she called the site to ask if it is possible to re-schedule the presentation due to some "unexpected" events. Luckily, one of the sponsors couldn't attend that time so it was actually cancelled. "Gomen, Kazunari-san I need to go," she gathered her things and prepared to leave.
"Ah, sorry for keeping you this much," Nino apologized. "Ah, it's alright, since I had the time. But I promised my kids that we'll go out for dinner, so I need to fetch them at their school. Ja, arigatou gozaimasu," I hope we won't meet again. . . that’s what she wanted to say but instead she said, "Mata ne Kazunari-san," Shi smiled, a kind of smile that startled Nino, and left the coffee shop.
+++++++
"…I promised my kids that…" It's been a week since Nino's fateful encounter with Shi. After their conversation he was left speechless, adamant of what he'd heard. Eh? maji? He thought to himself. I was sure that im listening on to every word she said, but that time she said "my kids." Seriously? She looked younger though, 20 or maybe 21. . . its possible to have a kid, demo, kids.. that's it, its in plural form.
"Shinjirarenai!!!!" Nino blurted out, it's too late to notice that he had actually spoken his mind. "Eh? Nani Nino-chan?" Aiba asked. "You looked sleepless these days," Ohno said while looking at those dark circles forming beneath his eyes. "Oi Nino, masaka~ you're not thinking about that bitch, do you?" Jun asked with raised eyebrows. "Uwa~ Nino-chan met a girl? Is she pretty?" Aiba jumped in excitement. "Oh, good for you Nino, when did you met her? How come you didn't tell us about it? Ohno added, with a hint of curiosity in his face. "It was Jun who first met her." Nino stated.
"Eh?" both Aiba and Ohno chorused. "Yeah, remember last week when I was in bad mood?" Jun asked the two members, Sho's still in Beijing so its only the four of them at the dressing room. "Kya~ come to think of it, that time, I nearly said "kowai" because your expression did scare the hell out of me," Aiba recalled. "man, you'reright, jun's really scary when he's in bad mood, so tell us,[turning his attention to jun] what does you being in bad mood had to do with Nino's girl?" Ohno asked amused. "It was because of her." Jun answered annoyed that the guys been asking plus the fact that Nino's silence meant that he was really thinking about her. Hmft! That bitch. Jun thought.
Upon hearing this, Aiba seemed very keen about the details, but Ohno is faster, "Hmmm, so you're saying that this girl, whom Nino was thinking about, was actually the one who'd cause your mood swing?" "Hai! mate Nino, what were you thinking about her?" Jun turned to Nino.
"Ano~ you see, after that incident, she seemed very upset, so I offered to buy her coffee, but-" Nino was explaining but Jun cuts off, "What? She rejected you? The nerve!" "Hey!,she didn't rejected me okay?, just let me finish." Nino hissed, Jun's been driving him mad, "I was shocked when she accepted the offer, I thought she was also mad at me, but it turned out she's mad at Jun, best not tell Jun that Angel actually called him an idiot, or it might just get him angrier [Nino thought], so I brought her in a coffee shop near JE building." Nino continued.
"So I managed to know her name, its Angel," Nino said to answer the what-is-her-name expression from the three. "I dunno, but there's something about her smile that dazzles me, and she's a real beauty," Nino confirmed Aiba's look. "Its true that I've been wondering a lot about her, her face, her smile, her reaction, demo, its not about her appearance that I'm having sleepless nights, its about what she said to me." Nino clarified.
"Nani, nani?" Aiba said somewhat interested.
"She's married, or how do I put it? She told me that she needed to fetch her kids, so I concluded that she's married, I mean, its impossible to have a kid without a husband right? Especially, when she said my kids boldly," Nino finished, frowning at his last statement, as if telling the members that he actually didn't believe this fact or he doesn't want to. Either way, its painful. Just when he thought that he actually found the girl that he likes, or wanted to like, it was over too soon.
"Hmmmm, I think it was a yes and a no," Ohno said to Nino. "In this society it is believed that you should be married to have kids, so it’s a yes, and a no because it is also possible to have kids without being married." Ohno furthered. "Uwa~ Ridaa, what does that mean?" Aiba asked rather alarmed. "Kanojo wa hontōni inudesu (she really is a bitch)," Jun said explicitly before Ohno could find proper way of explaining.
All eyes turned to Jun. "whoah, What? Did I say something wrong? Its what Ridaa was trying to say, I just helped him from doing so, there's no proper words for it," Jun said palms both raised. "Don't put it so bluntly Jun, maybe you're right, but its wrong to jump into conclusion. We don’t know Angel-san that much for you to judge her." Ohno said in one of his leader-like tone. " Jun-chan, I think you should consider Nino-chan's feelings," Aiba said. "Choto, what are you guys? The way you look at me, its as if I'm the antagonist from one of those romantic films, I was just trying to talk sense to Nino, before he falls for that girl," Jun said quite offended.
Aiba and Onho were about to say something, but Nino silenced them. "You know guys, I appreciate your opinions, but I think Jun was right, " Nino said, he's totally losing it, and he knew very well that if he loses his cool, they will end up arguing just like last time, focusing on Jun, he said , "Demo, I still don’t agree with your words, Angel-chan's not a bitch, its just that, I believe it had something to do with her past, so please stop referring her as "That bitch"," Nino asked Jun. "Hai, hai! Wakatta iru yo," Jun answered, relieved that Nino withdrawn the topic.
"Yosh, it's time for work guys," Ohno announced. "Hai!"
