Ch3. Proposal

■Kuguri's POV■

The cars are stopping as the light turns red, people start crossing, passing one and another in this rush hour.

Amaha: I swear you won't regret this place Kuguri, the food is really good and the girls who work there are true beauty...

I'm walking with my colleague Amaha Toshi, we've just finished our shift at the office and now heading to a restaurant to eat.

I've just started working at this company about four months ago after moving from my previous workplace.

Six years ago I graduated from Nohebi and continue my study at a university. Two years ago I graduated from college, move to another city not far from where I used to live, and start working.

Amaha likes culinary and he always eats out most of the time. He likes to try new places around the office or his house and sometimes when a place left a good taste in his mouth, he takes me and our other colleagues to eat out.

I don't really mind eating out once in a while, I don't cook for myself when I'm at home and stop by to buy instant food for dinner if I eat at home.

Amaha: here we are, this place radiates the warmth of a family~

I look up to read the sign

Hiragi's Recipes

Amaha pushes the door open, a bell chimes as we walk inside.

Yamato: welcome~

A man who stands behind the counter greets us as he garnishing food. I look at that man and somehow he looks familiar, but I don't know him.

Who is he? Why does he look familiar?

Amaha and I sit on the stools at the counter.

Yamato: what would you like to eat?

Amaha: I want the cold soba I ate before owner san! It tastes really good

Yamato: ha ha ha, I see you got a good taste there... what about you sir, you have quite the look sir..

I look up at the menu, they sell soba, fortunately, I like soba. And then I found my favorite food on the menu.

They have that? It's pretty rare...

Kuguri: I'll have soba with wild vegetables...

Yamato: ho ho, coming right up...one cold soba for our lively customer... and one Soba with wild veggies for our handsome cust...

Amaha: hey! Does that means I'm not handsome...

Amaha is joking around with the owner when I hear a voice replying from the kitchen.

???: yes uncle, will be reading in 15 minutes!

Dub Dub

I can't help myself from looking at the kitchen entrance. I can't see inside but my interest prevents me from looking away.

That voice... it sounds like...

I know very well that people could have similar voices but the one I heard just now, feels too familiar.

As I wait for the food and listen to Amaha and Yamato san, I can't help but glance at the kitchen door.

I turn my head away and look at my phone. Scrolling in social media and sees the latest post of Daisho san and Mika san. Then looking at some other post until a bowl is served in front of me.

???: enjoy the foo-

I look up and meet eyes with someone that I haven't seen for six years. Her (e/c) eyes widened as we look at each other.
