Epilogue Forty: Happy Birthday Kotomi (Last Part)

After we went to Pandai to spy Oto-san, Oka-san had another idea and she said she needs to take care of it before anything happens. She didn't have the chance to explain it to me and I was left there at the entrance, still don't know what happened to her but she surely looks so happy and energetic as always. I wonder what happened to her. But never mind, I have my errands for today too. I quickly removed my disguises and went to the department store. At least it is still early in the morning. But Irie-kun sabotaged my agenda in the wedding gown organizer. I am mad at him. That Irie-kun! He wants to go against me! Well, I love him but I will show him what I can do. This is Yuki and Konomi's wedding after all.

"Hey, watch out!"

Someone pulled me into a halt. I asked him, wondering. "What's happening?"

"Look where you going! You'll hurt yourself!" he said. "Do you have any presence in mind at all?"

And I looked at my front. I almost hit my head with the pillar post... inches away from me. I gulped and laughed, "Ahahaha, I'm sorry." I apologized. He just sneered at me, "You are so clumsy." and then continued walking. I followed him with my eyes, "Weird man. I don't know why he's so angry. Anyway..." and then I took a deep breath and smiled, "Yosh! Let's start it this way!"

I finished my errands for today and I got out of the department store with the sky so heavy. Seemed like there will be heavy rain tonight. I started to get worried... I got stuff that I bought all over me, I wonder if I could go home in a state like this. No one has told me about the bad weather. Damn you, Irie-kun! I thought he will be accompanying me! I rode on a taxi on the way home and I could see by the window pane how the heavy rain lashed the trees... guess I should make a call, but the hate I am feeling with Irie-kun had stopped me. He never intends to be romantic with me! Grrr! He always so mean to me!

"Please stop the car over there," I told the driver and he just nodded. The car had stopped at the gate. I opened the car door and saw Irie-kun, waiting for me. Oh, I didn't expect him to wait for me. Doushita no?

He turned around and picked up my stuff instead. "Come here or else you'll get wet," he said in his usual cold voice. We were walking to the entrance of the house with the background of the rain drizzling heavily against the roof. "How's your work in the hospital? I didn't expect you to come home early." I told him. But he just answered a short reply, "It's fine." he said and opened the door. He kept the umbrella and put it back in the rack and made his way to the grand staircase.

And we both asked, "Hey, are you mad?"

What? And we both turned to the other side. I don't know why but I can sense a thrilling tension between us. I'm mad at him but I believe we didn't fight in the morning. We were fine.

"You didn't answer my calls so I asked," he said.

"Did you call? I didn't hear it. I didn't have in my mind to check my phone."

"What's your purpose of bringing a phone when you didn't answer your calls?"

"Wasurechatta. I was busy visiting shops and buying stuff."

"At least you have to tell me that."

I made clear and low voice, "How about you, Irie-kun? Are you mad at me?" we stopped before we open the door of our room. "Your voice is so cold than usual... and you told the wedding organizer to cancel our appointment. How to mean you are. It's not you to meddle on these activities, I wonder what made you do it."
