'Wait, Hiya's calling.' He took out his phone and walked a bit further from me.
I didn't hear a ring. He really keeps his phone on silent.
'Let's go. P Waii is going to pick me up at noon. We are going to have lunch together.' He quickened his pace.
'New....you didn't break our deal, did you?' I was watching his changed demeanor. He looks extra cheerful. Did something happen in Japan!
'What deal?' He gave me a side glance.
'About kissing...' Please tell me you didn't kiss P Waii! I know already that promises or deals means nothing to you.
'Oh. No I didn't.' He looked away.
'Are you telling me the truth?' My heart was full of doubts.
'Mn.' His reply was too short. What's he thinking so deeply!
'Good.' I decided to believe him.
'Tay.....' We were already near the office building.
'Yeah?' I was startled by his cheerful voice.
'......' He didn't say anything but smiled.
'What is it?' I don't like that smile. It's so superficial..
'I wish you all the happiness in the world.' His next sentence threw me off guard.
'Hin...' Why are you so happy!
'Let's go inside.' He opened the door for me.
It took nearly half an hour to get everything done there. They gave me some meds and instruction about do's and don'ts. The cut wasn't that serious.
'So....are you going back to attend classes or do you want to go back home?' He was carrying a bag full of medicines.
'What's your plan?' I wanted to spend time with him.
'Well.. actually....I had a plan, but I ditched it midway.....now I am thinking of sticking to that one again.....it would be best for everyone.' He answered absent mindedly.
'Hm? What are you saying? I don't understand.'
'Oh! Nothing... nothing...just some self reflection....' He laughed.
'You are acting weird. What's the matter?'
'Nothing. Really. So, have you decided yet? Home or class?' He rubbed his face and smiled.
'Class.' I don't know why but he seems restless.
'Okay. Let's get you settled then.'
The moment we entered the building, Ton came running.
'You missed two classes. Where were you?'
'Hi Ton. Sorry, Tay got injured because of me so we went to the nurses office.'
'Huh! What happened?'
'I slipped. Don't listen to him. It has nothing to do with him. I am clumsy and you know how that affects my every movement.'
'Typical Tawan. We all are well aware of that.' Ton easily believed me.
'Okay then. You guys carry on. I have to go now. See you soon.'
'Bye New.' Ton started to walk towards the classroom.
'I'll call you later. Answer it.' I said in a low voice.
'Sure.' He nodded obediently and waved good bye.
