The Purple Hyacinth

Chapter XIII End Line

Sem-break is over, students who come back from home is starting to gather in their own apartments. When Lily arrived at her room Aiko was already at her study table checking her phone.

"Hey Aiko Hisashiburi!"

"Hmm? OH! Lily! Long-time no see I've missed you. What did you just said?"

"Er... its nothing, Ahm...."

"Yeah?"

"Aiko I need to tell you something......" Aiko waits for her to finish her phrase "well this morning I'm with-----"

"Ms Rovella, Noriyama was asking for you" Tristan just announced cutting Lily off. Lily saw how Aiko blushed and smiled by just the thought that Noriyama was looking for her. She felt guilty.

Aiko hurried to see Noriyama outside the apartment. She saw him leaning on the concrete wall of their apartment. His feet were stamping on the ground and his hands are in his jacket's pocket. He was murmuring something by himself. She greeted in pure excitement.

"Hey! Isn't that the Handsome Noriyama of our State University? What are you doing here so early? Missed me?"

"Yeah I missed you" Noriyama said in a monotone and flick her forehead

"Ouch! So gentle on the very first day of our meeting this second semester" She said pouting

"Is Lily already in her room?"

"Yeah, how did you know?" Noriyama paused for a moment

"Well.....I'm actually asking you but Yeah I already knew cause... we travelled..... together" Aiko was stunned from his phrase

"Together? AH..... I see but....How come?"

"AHm......Eh......Ugh......" Noriyama was frantically avoiding Aiko's gaze

"WHAT!?" she shouted "Are you two together now!?"

"Hai!" Noriyama said up straight

"What did you said?"

"I said, yes! We're together now"

"What? Ahahahaha" Aiko laugh dryly "What's this?" the irritation was becoming more obvious "You mean you two were on a relationship now?" Noriyama just nodded "Nori, you are indeed fast you know that!?" Aiko started cracking her voice "Y-you said.... Darn it! You said you don't look at her that way! What's this? I feel so betrayed!"

"I'm sorry but----"

"SHUT UP!! Don't talk to me for a while and I might beat you up"

"Aiko"

"Get lost I'm done talking to you!" Aiko walk off and left Noriyama behind frustrated

"I hope she won't bent it to Lily, she should be really upset. Woman's intuition was indeed scary"

When Aiko got back to their room Lily was eager to talk to her. She just passed by her without looking at her. She walks directly to her bed and lay.

"Aiko..." Lily started

"Don't talk to me for a while I'm not in the good mood" Aiko covered herself in her bed and cried. Lily stayed in her position and watched her. She was guilty and sad for Aiko. She can't even say sorry because she feels like she's going to be hurt more and the most painful part is she has no right to comfort her.

The new semester brings new activities to the students aside from examinations everyone was thrilled for the upcoming foundation week. Days go by so fast, Lily was being ignored by her first friend in college. She sometimes eat alone at the cafeteria when Noriyama saw her alone he accompanied her. That starts the rumour that Noriyama was courting Lily and it causes some problems in Lily's part and Noriyama wasn't aware of it.
