Chapter 11 - Worst Day

Feeling wonderful yet upset. It cannot describe how they feel on the last day of vacation. Still, it is time to wrap up their precious trip with beautiful memories before their leave-taking. After a light breakfast, they check out of the hotel while waiting for Raja's online friend also known as Yuki Kisho, her crush who is an actor made in Japan. Anne's guesses are right from the start as he seems sceptical.

But the truth will unfold later as they all decided to meet him on the fourth day in Tokyo. Raja already told the other two Yuki Kisho was her friend before he became an actor. It was an astonishing occasion. She is going to meet him for real this time. For the first time. Ever. Not alone but with the two obviously even though she rather meet him alone. If she gets another opportunity, she will meet him alone in the future.

Farah feels contented for her and could not stay put as she is agitating to meet a Japanese actor as freakish as it is, it is going to happen anyhow. Meanwhile, Anne feels uneasy and eccentric with her so-called crush. Why she always has this feeling at the wrong time? Out of the blue, yes? She tries to ignore it but not having a second thought or so makes her sluggish. They kick their heels on the side of the table out front of them and subsequently, Raja taps on her phone texting him. Abruptly, she speaks.

"Guys, he told us to go to a nearby restaurant"

"I saw a restaurant opened at this hour yesterday. But it's kinda far from here"

"Halal, yes?"

"Yeah, it is. It's gonna take like half an hou-"

"What?!!"

"Woi! You kidding?"

"Eh?!! No! 16 minutes! 16 minutes like that. Walking. Sorry, my lips said otherwise hehe"

"Ish, it's okay. We need to go now"

"Okay, okay, let's get going"

They hang around at a nearby mixed Asian and Western Muslim restaurant that Farah saw yesterday. The place is kind of unique and has a traditional theme on every side of the restaurant. It has comfy seats and nice wooden tables also not crowded since it is already 8.23 am, Thursday which is a workday much to their liking. Only 3 to 4 tables are full with customers. They seem from Brunei, Thailand, Indonesia and might be from their country. The foods and drinks look somewhat expensive yet it is Raja's crush treat. 

The moment she texts him they arrive, he demands them to stay and order anything they want. He would not let them go if they did not accept his treat as it is what her crush reply just a minute ago. All three of them feel like a burden. They are not rich buddies so they are being thoughtful of his kindness. It is not easy to get money and they know that.

After a quarter of minutes of waiting, they see two fine men are heading in their direction. They thought that one of them might be the one that Raja mentioned back then who is none other than Yuki Kisho. But who is the other one? Farah and Anne look at each other with no expression knowing what they are trying to say to each other thereupon move their peepers to Raja in unison. Meanwhile, Raja smiles ear to ear as she finally meets him. She did not see the two are looking at her and peepers keep following his direction. 

'She's out of her mind. We're doom' Anne thought. 

"Is she's in love?" Farah mouths to Anne. The latter makes a 'likely, yes and I'm disgusted' as Raja never show her shyness and obviously, she did not trust him.

As an answer to their question, the one with Yuki is Fukashi, his friend who is also an actor. He is quite handsome and looks innocent as well as seems interested in Farah and Raja. Plus, he actually supposed to play video games at home but Yuki asks him for help to accompany him. When Yuki says there will be another two friends of Raja coming, he swiftly becomes diligent and willing to be his company. Anne, Farah and Raja grin and tell them to sit afterwards. They grin back and sit in front of them with Anne on the left, Fukashi opposite Farah and Yuki opposite Raja.
