Chapter 72 - TOKYO

TOKYO

Hiiro didn’t go straight to his apartment after arriving at Tokyo last night,instead he went to the Kabuki Palace and stayed there for the night.He didn’t even give Tsubaki a call telling her that he has arrived in Tokyo.

Hiiro just sat outside his room,facing the garden trying to clear his disturbed mind since Tsubaki called him after 3 years .Tsubaki never once called Hiiro while she was in London,not even once.Hiiro on the other hand,tried to contact Tsubaki a few days after she flew to London.But he stopped when none of his calls were answered.

Suddenly,there was a knock on the door.

Nao : May I come in?

Hiiro : Just come innnn Nao.

Nao : What the heck is wrong with you man?You arrived without even telling us and thank god I bumped into Nana-san just now.She was the one who told me she saw you going into your room last night.

Nao came in and handed a can of tea to HIiro and took a seat beside him.

Hiiro : Did you dye your hair again?

Nao : Yes and NO,you are not changing the topic.what’s up?Where is Shinn?

Hiiro : Well,I think he is still in Osaka.Probablycoming back here today.

Nao : I don’t even know what the heck happened to both of you.You guys are like snapped and gone and snap you are here again and it repeats

Hiiro : Well,life just get harder.

Nao : Come on Hiiro.What happened?

Hiiro let out a sigh before opening his tea and took a very big sip and finished the whole can of tea in just seconds.

Nao : You want mine?

Hiiro : (laughing) No no,thank you.

Nao : So,now what?

Hiiro : It’s Tsubaki.

Nao whom were sipping his tea accidentally coughed,and he quickly wiped his mouth with his handkerchief.He quickly looked at Hiiro with such an unreadable expression.

Nao : Don’t joke with me Hiiro.

HIiro : I am not joking.

Nao : I thought it was over?

HIiro : It was over.But,she called me yesterday.

Nao :That girl what?She called you?She dared to call you?

Hiiro : Well,it’s Tsubaki you are talking about.

Nao : Right,the hot headed Tsubaki.I never even like her.Well,I mean maybe because I don’t even know her that close (laughing)

Hiiro : I guess so.

Nao : So,whats the problem now?...wait don’t tell me you still have feelings for her?

Hiiro : I would say yes if you asked me few months ago.

Nao : …what happened within these past few months ago?

Hiiro : Something unexpected .

Nao : You mean something unexpected as in you found something?

Hiiro : Something like that.

Nao : Wait wait .As in?

Hiiro : I don’t know what am I even feeling right now.I am completely puzzled with these feelings confusing me.

Nao look at Hiiro and then he smiled.

Nao :  I know what is happening. I guess you are now having this typical mixed feeling ? As in you cant decide what are your feelings towards Tsubaki now?

Hiiro : …..

Nao : I may not know what “thing” that made you feel so unsure about your feelings towards Tsubaki now.But what I can ensure you is,you might have found an existence that made you realize there are much more important things in life rather than the past.

Nao said that without even looking at Hiiro,he simple said that while looking at the garden.

Hiiro : ….

Nao : And certainly that existence had given you such a great impact.

Hiiro stared at Nao and said nothing for a while.

Nao :???

Hiiro : When in the world you became an expert in this?

Nao : (laughing) Come one Hiiro.Is the Dr.Nao you are talking about.The only doctor you need now *lifting his eyebrows

Hiiro : You and Nana should just get married as soon as possible.Dont let Nana wait too long(laughing)

Nao : Advice taken Hiiro.Now now…

Nao stretched himself and stood up.

Nao : Im going to the kitchen alright.And good luck on deciding on the things you need to do.I am sure you can nail it.

Nao turned back and started to walk towards the door,but then as he was about to slide the door open,he turned around .

Nao : And please don’t bring Tsubaki here.I don’t like her perfume.If she is still wearing the same one.Nana would be babbling non stop if she come here again(annoyed)

Hiiro : (laughing) I’ll remember that.
