******TAKERU******

It is the last week of vacations and I am glad that school will be reopening soon. Home was boring because at school you had something to do. I just can't contain my excitement. In these vacations I had learnt to control my emotions well but I still liked her; how much, I can't say. But I am still getting butterflies. (Feeling utterly stupid now😂😂)

Mom and dad decided that we should go for a last week vacation and they chose a hot spring inn. It wasn't really exciting but yeah a refreshment before school starts isn't a bad idea.

We reached the inn on 29 July and it looked really cozy and comforting. We all ate dinner around 8 and I must say it was the most delicious food I have had in ages. After that I went for a walk with Taichi. The garden was really beautiful. The bushes were all covered with fairy lights and it gave a feeling of festivity. There hung ancient lamps at every 30 m or so. It was seriously well lit.

We sat on the bench but just then Taichi's cell rang and he went to have a private conversation. Huh! Private!😑
I was sitting there mesmerised by those fairy lights and the soft breeze and then when I turned I saw Ayane.

What! How! How come!

No. I must be dreaming with my eyes open. The girl, whoever she was, she had tied her hair in a bun and was talking to someone. Did I actually see Ayane? My head throbbed out of confusion. She can't be her.
I was looking at her and she turned. Yes it was her.  It was Ayane.
