The Day I Met You

Chapter 44 ( Imaginary Friend )

~We will be having a special guest for today's chapter. Enjoy mates :)~

It was around noon. Zed was by himself, outside of a cafe. He was sitting alone, relaxing with his iced cold mocha that just arrive moments ago. He pulled out his phone, scrolling through his social media as he doesn't know what to do next.

After minutes passed, He got even bored and decided to put away his phone as he took a sip on his iced cold drink, "What a bad and boring timing for such a good day." He sighed then started to look around, hoping that he'd see something eye catching.

He immediately gave up and just pulled out his phone but before he could. He saw two persons from a far, "Kanae and Sanemi..?", He looked closely and he was right, "What are they doing here?" His curiosity and suspicion grew, motivating himself to trail and observe their actions, leaving his unfinished beverage.

He was certainly right about who they are, that butterfly hairpin and the messy white hair. Those are give aways that it was them.

Both were certainly having fun especially Kanae. Her smiles and laughter are making it so obvious while Sanemi continued to talk and throw a joke or two.

"Maybe I'm just overthinking." He said to himself, "I'm sure it's just a friendly hangout." As he was about to turn and leave them, He saw a glimpse of Sanemi trying to hold her hand. It added more into his suspicion and curious of what his goal is. He was thinking of confronting him immediately but he doesn't have much evidence nor making a ruckus out in the public, not when Kanae's around. And so on, He continued to trail them.

His suspicion grew more after that action that he just witnessed, It added more fuel as he realize Sanemi's being gentleman, letting Kanae go in first through the malls door, "Endure it. Your questions will soon be answered by the time his cornered." He mumbled, glaring at them as he followed not far behind from the two.

Sanemi was leading the way as Kanae just followed beside him considering the fact she gets lost very easily. They soon entered a Clothing shop, It was obvious Kanae was the one who wanted to go in since the store was on rampage of having a lot of sales. Her eyes gleamed in excitement, it's her first time to see a shop with tons of sales on the board. She wasted no time and ran through every section of the isle that caught her interest. She kept going back and forth to Sanemi as he was basically a holder or a hanger for her chosen clothes. She picked some polos and shirts along the way as a thank you gift and since she remembers his size. Soon after that they paid at the counter and left the shop with a bunch of paper bags. They went fot another round of shopping as something caught Kanae's eyes again and hell started once more. After hours of shopping, They finally decided to grab a bite and call it a day.

They went back to the car to leave the shopping items there rather than bringing it with them to the food court. They ordered and their food was serve after minutes of waiting then left to find a seat. They settled to a table of two near a window as they settled Sanemi excused himself to use the restroom as nature was calling.

He immediately ran as Kanae nodded as her response. He went to the nearest restroom to which was close by to where they settled to eat. He inside and immediately went to a stall then responded to nature's call, making him sign in relief. He zip his zipper back up then washed hi hands.

The lightbulb started flickering, it stop as he cock his head to its direction then to the mirror and was greeted by a figure of a familiar masked man. It sent chills up to his spine, immediately turning around to direction, Hey Z-Zed..! Didn't expect you to be here." He lets out a nervous laugh but his heart was pounding.
