Great Detective of Love (Wattpad Prize 2014)

Chapter9

Well, I thought that Asami didn't want to hurt me more, so her email just stopped there. Just a few sentences about Kaito have made me cried. I looked at my phone and thought to myself. Should I call him or not? I was still thinking about it, when I received another email from Asami. I opened it, and it was another heartbreaking email;

"Ayako,

I know how you love Kaito so much. You're the only friend I have since kindergarten, which means I don't want you to get hurt by anyone. About my last email, I've stopped, because I didn't have the heart to hurt you more. I'm so sorry Ayako, but I saw Kaito were kissed by Reiko on one of the shopping complex balcony. I saw it when I was walking around the second floor with Yukiko. Yukiko also witnessed it. But then Kaito made a call. Actually during school this morning, Reiko had asked him to be her boyfriend, but Kaito was hesitated to accept her that time, but Reiko insisted. Kaito have to accept her, but he gave Reiko his sad expression. All the classes were gossiping about it. If you want to know, all of us were supporting you, except some girls that were already being Reiko's gang. Reiko also told us in the classroom during lunchtime that she didn't want anyone to talk about you when you're not around. I guessed she hate you Ayako. You better watch your back, and please come back hurry!

P.S Kaito always asks me about you. Can you email him, and explain him about your whereabouts?"

This time I couldn't resist myself, but to close my laptop, wore my jacket, put my laptop in my satchel and brought it to the park where I've been earlier with Yamiko. I sat on one of the picnic benches, and opened my laptop back. The moment I saw Asami email again, made me cried. I could hear my crying sound in the silent park, alone. I just couldn't believe that Kaito called me after the kiss on the balcony. But then I settled myself and decided to reply it this time;

" Asami,

I know that you wouldn't want to hurt me, but thanks for telling me about Kaito. You know what? I'm happy about Kaito. Just tell him that I congratulate him, and I can't call him anymore starting tomorrow. Just tell him I'm going somewhere that couldn't receives any incoming calls to my phone. And about Reiko, please don't think negatives about her because I'm sure she was saying that because Kaito is her childhood friend, and I was just Kaito's friend since elementary. She deserves Kaito. And can I tell you one secret, but don't tell it to anyone else even Kaito? Actually now I'm in Tokyo, but tomorrow I'll be departing for London. And about the call that Kaito made that you mentioned, actually he was calling me. I saw him alone on the balcony, but I heard Reiko's voice... Just forget it. I'm sure he will be so happy with Reiko. So Asami, just tell him that he can't contacted me again okay? But you can! Don't worry! Just send me your emails, and you'll get it back from me! :D

Love you friend! :D"

As I clicked the 'Send' button, I thought to myself. I think I should be gone more than a week. When I looked at my phone, the time showed me it was already 10 o'clock. So I decide to pack up my things back.

"You're emailing someone back at Kyoto?" Suddenly a voice asked me. I looked around and saw a shadowy guy under a lamp post. That time my vision was a little bit blurry, so I couldn't recognized him. Then he walked towards me, now I recognized him.

"Oh... It's you Kei. I thought it was Kuro. So what are you doing here, late at night?" I asked him, as I was putting my laptop in my satchel back. Kei sat down next to me, and looked at the sky.

"I was walking around the park, when suddenly I heard someone was crying. I thought it was a ghost, but then when I searched for the voice, it was you."

"So you have been watching me?" I asked. I just couldn't believe it that he watched my crying. Then I looked at my slippers.

"So good to meet you here-," he said, looking at me from hair to toes, "in your blue pajamas." Then we both laughed. I didn't know why I could laugh about it. "I bet you came here just to release all your feelings?"
