FUMIYA SANKAI NEXT DOOR

Chapter 09: WHY ARE THEY TOGETHER

Fumiya Next Door 09: Why Are They Together

Why are they together? This question was running through my mind for the past 24 hours. It keeps bugging in my head. I can't think of a reason on why the hell they were together yesterday at the cafeteria. How did they know each other? How did Alya know about Fumiya's place? What did they talked about? What the fuck is it about?

Yesterday at the cafeteria.
Looking at the distance, I saw two people happily talking together. They seemed to know each other very well. He wore the sweetest smile I had ever seen in my life. It was Fumiya, smiling brightly to my bestfriend, Alya. As I was watching them, I couldn't figure out my emotion. My chest suddenly felt heavy by watching them being so close together. I suddenly lost my appetite in eating and the food became bitter. I wanted to approach them at that time and planned to join in their conversation but it seemed like Alya wouldn't be happy to see me interrupting their moment. They might talking some important matter and I don't want to be a disturbance to them. I left the table and went to the comfort room. I couldn't stand the sight. Leaving my food unfinished was not my thing but seeing them together was sickening me. I was upset. How can they be together!? Did Alya already know him before I did? Why are they together? Are they secretly dating? My thoughts were coming more and more. I watched my stressed reflection in front of me, wanting to cry out of agony. My tears were attempting to fall from my eyes and my eyesight was becoming blurry.

“Are you crying?” A deep voice interrupted me which dragged me to reality. I blinked my tears away to hide my emotion to the intruder whom I just met that day. I scanned his reflection through the mirror. I was shocked to meet a handsome face. His eyes, nose and lips are very well defined. His face was so fair and smooth like a cute baby. Based on his look, I can say that he is not a Filipino. His face was familiar. I think already saw him before. I just couldn't remember when and where. He somewhat looked like an actor in the popular Korean drama. I couldn't say something to him and just admiring his handsome face. It seemed like I temporarily forgot about what I saw in the cafeteria.

“Who's making you cry? Do you want me to beat him for you?” He said which made me laugh a little. I don't know if he was purposely making me laugh but it was somewhat effective. I laughed a little to his last statement. But I shouldn't trust someone whom I just met 30 seconds ago. I shouldn't tell my personal feelings to some stranger, a handsome stranger. He was looking worriedly at me, waiting for my response.

“What are you talking about? No one's making me cry.” I told him. What I saw earlier at the cafeteria was not a reason why I was crying. I still didn't want to consider it as a reason for my sorrow. He just smirked at my response. The way he smirked at me and the way he looked at me was very sexy. It was like I was in a movie with a handsome leading man meeting him for the first time. The time seemed like running so slow. We were staring to each other in a slow motion. I went silent for a moment before realization hit me.

“Wait, who are you? Why are you here in the ladies comfort room? Get out you pervert!” I yelled at the top of my lungs. He just laughed at me, a very sexy laugh. He didn't even answer my questions and just walked out without any single word left behind.

“Who's that pervert?” I asked to myself. I followed him outside but he was nowhere to be found. ‘Where did he go?’ I asked silently. He might be one of the occupants in this building. If that so, I'll be able to encounter him again.

‘Who is that pervert?’ I asked to myself, looking at the ceiling. Yesterday was a very stressful day but yet I can't forget the kiss that we shared. Suddenly, a familiar music was played in my phone. It was a sign that Alya is calling. I set this ringtone for her so I can recognize who's calling. But I don't want to talk to her right now. I felt betrayed by her yesterday. She's been calling me since yesterday but I rejected her every calls. She was sending me messages, asking me if I was mad at her. I'm not mad at her, I'm just confused.

[Jiya I have something to tell you.]

[I'm calling you.]

[Why are you not answering?]

[Pick up my call Jiya.]

[Are you mad?]

[Seenzone? So mean.]

[Jiya!]

[Yah!]

Those were just few of the messages she sent to me. I think she sent hundreds of it. Then her face popped in my phone screen again for the tenth times today. I was contemplating whether to accept or reject it. ‘Give her a chance to tell what she wanted to tell you. You might find out the reason of what you saw yesterday,’ that's what my mind told me. I took a deep breath and after a few seconds, I swiped the green button.

“What do you want?” I immediately asked her. I sounded like a mad girlfriend right now.

“Yah! Why are you rejecting my calls, huh? Why? Why? Did I do something wrong to you? Tell me! Tell me! Are you mad? I don't understand why you are rejecting my calls. That is so mean! Do you understand? That is so mean! Are you even my bestfriend?” That was a very long rant from Alya. Her voice was high pitched that it almost break my eardrums. I can already imagine her pouty face. I was thinking for a moment on how to respond her. I was thinking hard and finally, a brilliant lie was created in my mind.

“Don't disturb me! I'm playing Mobile Legend.” I reasoned out. Out of all alibis that came into my mind, this is the only convincing alibi that I could get.

“Woah! I can't believe this. Since when did you start playing online games?” She asked, maybe confused. She knew I used to hate playing any kind of online games. Aside from the reason that it can consume so much space in your phone storage, it also cost real money to buy diamonds. But this time, I need to make her believe I'm changing my mind about online games.

“Just yesterday.” I answered.

“Oh really? Who is your character in the game?” She suddenly asked. I was silent for a second because I don't know how to respond to her fucking question. I don't know anything about Mobile Legend. I quickly changed the topic to something more interesting. The reason why she called was that she have something important to tell.

“Anyway, what do you want to tell me?” I asked her back. I heard she gasped from the other line, maybe because of her excitement.

“It's about Fumiya Sankai! Are you not excited?” She told. Woah! What is this? Is she really going to tell me the details? Psh! I hope she will.

“Of course I am! Tell me.” I pretended to be excited as much as she did. Based on her voice, I bet she was smiling widely behind the phone. I was also curious about the topic she was about to reveal. I'm sure that it has something to do about what I saw yesterday.

“Sure! Let's meet.” She stated.
