WAITING FOR LOVE

A Date?

"Do I Really have to ask Saori on a date? I don't think it's really the time to ... "Kakei said as he had a look at the ticket .

'25th of December' Was the day written on it

"Christmas huh? There's only 3 days remaining,I don't think i should do this..." he said as he crushed the tickets and was about to throw them in the dustbin when Saori arrived

"How did he even get here?"Saori mumbled as she entered the cafe

"Hey! Saori come faster! We're celebrating!!" Said one of the staff

"I'm coming !" She said rushing towards the table

"CONGRATULATIONS!!! "Everyone in the Cafe shouted while Kakei was just standing in a corner watching them

"..."Kakei stood in silence with the crumbled ticket still in his hands

As Kakei was staring at them . She noticed Kakei over there and smiled.

"Waa!?..." He got nervous and went to the changing room

At the changing room

" Do i really like her?"He said holding his chest while panting

"....I don't know . I'm probably mistaking happiness for something else....I should change now " Kakei said as he went to the changing room

After changing Kakei was about to leave the cafe from the back door when a staff noticed him and said "Kakei-san ? Where are you going? the celebration just started!"

"Oh yeah...I remembered i had to go somewhere so...Bye" Kakei said as he closed the door

Kakei tip-toed to the parking lot and rode his bike to Asakura's place . After arriving there, he rung the bell and Asakura came to the door. As Asakura opened the door Kakei was looking below with a some-what tired face

" Wha?! What are you doing here??Did you ask her???" Asakura asked getting excited all of a sudden

"NO..."Kakei said looking at the ground

"Hahhhhh?? Why?"Asakura asked

"I'm not sure... "Kakei said

"Come on here !" Asakura said pushing Kakei from behind to the living room

"Why'd you bring me here?"Kakei asked him

"To take an interview!"Aakura said

"Wha..Why?"Kakei asked as he was pushed down on the sofa

Asakura sat on the couch right in front of the sofa and said" Mr.Kakei ,i'll be taking your interview now!"

"Why all of a sudden?"Kakei said

"Just answer alright? I'm going to ask all sort of questions"Asakura said

"Okay :) " Kakei said smiling at him a lil bit

"Okay first , Introduce Yourself !"Asakura said

"Okay... My name is Kakei. I'm 17 and I work in a cafe." Kakei said

"HUH?Tell me more like your zodiac sign sign ? Where do you live and all , I want to know!" Asakura said

"My birthday is on the 5th of February . So my sun sign is Aquarius and my moon sign appears to be Scorpio . I live in Kathmandu "Kakei said to him comforting himself a little bit in the sofa

"What type of girl do you like?"Asakura asked

"Wah?! why this all of a sudden?"Kakei said as almost slipped form the sofa

"I mean, what makes a girl attractive according to you"Asakura asked

"You know, Appearence doesn't really matter to me..."Kakei replied

"Okay let's change the question a little bit. If you were to go on a date with a certain girl ,What would you want her to look like?"

"Ah.... red eyes, long yellow hair-"Kakei was saying as he got inturrupted

"Are you describing an anime character??!!!!??"Asakura asked

"Umm..Yeah.."Kakei said

"Oh? So, Do you have any girl friends?"Asakura asked him

"No, i don't." Kakei answered

"Have you ever fell in love?" Asakura asked

"I don't know "Kakei said

"Do you have someone you like?"Asakura said giving Kakei a cunning look on his face

"I don't know."

Asakura got up and said " I got it! You don't understand whether you like that girl or not , do you? I'll tell you all about love ,Just ask me "

"Okay....how do you fall in love?"kakei questioned

"Hmm...It just happens naturally."Asakura said

"oh....Asakura, when did you fall in love ?"Kakei asked

"I was 15 and now she's my girlfriend and I'm deciding to marry her After i've grown up!" Asakura said

"That is really heart warming. Say, How do i know i'm in love?" Kakei asked looking at the ground

"You'll know it yourself. Who do you think about the most. Who you want to be with the most . The answer is all with you . Once you realize who the person is that's when you'll know you're in love"Asakura said while standing up and looking at the pictures of him and his girlfriend in a photo frame

"You sure do know a lot huh? Well Asakura i think i should be going now ."Kakei said standing up

Just as Kakei reached the exit , Asakura said " Kakei , once you realize who you love . You'll want them to be with you forever but remember that 'Love isin't finding someone you want to live with , Love is finding someone that you can't live without'"

Kakei smiled and said" Thanks i'll surely find out!" Kakei said as he left for home

At home Kakei locked himself in his room and thought "I can only think of Saori right now... I want to be with her. I don't want to lose her...."

"Am I in love?"Kakei said to himself

He closed his eyes and just as he did the only thing that came to his mind was Saori's Smile

"Thanks Asakura. I'm realized i'm in love"He said to himself

"I'll try asking her to a date tomorrow . But what if she rejects? Wait , Does she have someone she loves ? If i love her that makes Takashi my rival and Takashi and Saori are really close... But me too I'm sure i'm one of her closest friends . I know i can do it !" Kakei said while ironing he tickets for the park

The next day, As soon as Kakei entered the cafe. He saw Saori-chan arranging the tables. Kakei got nervous and tried walking to the changing room without saying anything

"Kakei! Why did you leave early yesterday?" Saori asked him

"Ah... I ..Umm...had work to do"Kakei said nervously

"oh, and About my book , I want to give you the first-edition first copy of it. That is after it's realeased" she said with a smile

"Really??? Thank you(I have to ask her)" Kakei said

"Yes? what's the matter?"She asked

"Are you free tomorrow?"Kakei asked while smiling

"Hmm..Yes."She said looking a little bit nervous

"I want to take you on a date"Kakei said while looking right in her eyes and smiling

"Wah?Wha....."Saori sad as she got as red as a tomato
