My Dear Valentine

Chapter 10: Bus Buzz

"Romuderima-sama, please don't ever mention those words. I'm still a student of your school. Even though my family owns this place, I always respected your position. And also, about the investigators that my parents ordered and payed to find me. You should be careful and avoid any suspicious when they asked you where am I. Don't give them a hint." Takeroshi warned him.

"Why? It's good to call you young master. Especially when we are alone. Haha." Principal Rumoderima said.

Takeroshi said, "Cut the crap, Rumoderima-sama. It's not good to hear. You know that I'm not comfortable to be called like that. I felt shy, you know that."

"Haha, however you're my boss only beloved son. So I must do my duty as your acquaintance. If I don't call you young master. Where is my dignity to myself? " Principal Rumoderima explained.

Takeroshi replied and sighed, "Please don't ever mention the word "young master " again. Please I'm begging you. Because if someone knows who am I. My parents' investigators will coming after me."

"But, young master...I mean Takeroshi-san, why are you insisting on being like that? You're going to be the next CEO of your family company. You're in the right age and position to claim it. And also, you have a good grade performance, attitude and proper mindset that proven you are worthy." Principal Rumoderima asked from him.

"It's because...." he suddenly stop to talk when a phone ring outside the door. He quickly moved and opened the door. "Who's there?!" he saw a shadow running down the stairs. "What the heck was that? Is there someone heard our conversation?" he muttered.

"Holly Molly, should I call the security? We should not let that person get away from here. Is he one of the investigators who sent by your parents?" Principal Rumoderima asked and became panicky.

"No, I guess not. Don't worry about that. I can handle it by myself. I remember the ring tone of his cellphone. If he is one of them, I assure you that I'll use any means if necessary to prevent that. I got to go now, and it's getting dark now. Goodbye." Takeroshi said and he closed the door.

"Goodbye to you too, young master. Have a nice trip. Hehe" Principal Rumoderima greeted him while waving his hands.

"I said don't cal me that again!" Takeroshi yelled angrily at him while running faster down the stairs.

When he arrived at the lobby, he didn't see Akanika in his way. They both bumped each other and fell in the ground. Akanika felt scared at him hence Takeroshi felt sad when she look at his eyes like that.

"Oh Akanika-chan, sorry about that. I have to go now. Be careful out there." he stands up and run away.

Akanika stood up too and walked straight towards the gate. Suzaki noticed her grief and sad face.

She asked her, "Akanika-chan, I call you lately. Why did you hanged up your cellphone? Are you okay? You look pale. Did something happen to you?"

"Nothing's happened. Let's go now, Suzaki-chan. It's getting dark now and we might be late for the next stop of the bus." She said from her with a fake smile. And they walked together ahead from the bus stop.

When they entered and found a sit inside the bus, Akanika looked at outside the window. She recalled the previous conversation with the principal and Takeroshi.

She thought in her mind, "Is he hiding something? What could be the reason for that? I know he is an idiot but he is alone in his house. He lied to us. He told us that the present he gave to my brother was from his parents. They requested him to bring it to our home. And also, he ignored me this time."

Suzaki noticed her thinking out something, "What are thinking about, Akanika-chan? Something's bothering you?"

Akanika did not hear her question. She repeated it but she didn't response. Hence, she decided to pinch hardly her cheeks. Akanika begged for mercy to stop. Suzaki released her.

Akanika asked her while shed with tears, "Why'd you do that? You hurt my face? Aaah...Ouch! Please explain now."

"You're not listening to my question. That's the reason why I do that to you." Suzaki replied while shrugging.

"Pardon," Akanika said

"I'm asking you. What is bothering you? What are you thinking about? Is this about Takeroshi-senpai again?" Suzaki asked her.

Akanika felt embarrassed and she said, "Kyah! Eww! Why should am I thinking about that weirdo? There is nothing to do with him. So please don't ask again that worthless question. Okay."

"You said that. So let's change the topic. Did something happen between you and him?" she asked from Akanika

Akanika felt sad and she said with a fake smile, "Yes, I just told him to stop messing with me. And now finally, he actually acknowledges it. He finally gave up. So I'm fine now. I'm F-R-E-E, FREE!!! Haha"

Suzaki felt disappointed and she thought, "Why you have to lie to me, Akanika-chan? You know you're not good at telling lies from other people especially to me. Because I know you since we first met."
