The familiarity of the view gave my heart a sense of ease. The familiar view: the supermarket, the pastry shops, the bakery, and the salon at the end of the street, gave me a strange joy. It was probably 11 clock because the road was awfully quiet.

I felt lonely.

Therefore, I didn't take any more time and immediately made my way home. Kaori must be worried about me.

Coming out of the lift, I went to the door thinking it was open but to my surprise, it was locked. Is she not home yet? I should have guessed that she must be busy with work.

I knew she was not as free as me, but for some reason, I simply stood there waiting for someone to open the door for me. Is this what housewives/house husbands feel when their husband/wives come home late?

Anyways, I took out the keys from my pocket, opened the lock and entered the room. Switching on lights, I went for the glass of water on the dining table. While I was chugging it down, I noticed the smartphone on the table.

Ah! I forgot it at home.

While I placed the glass to its original position , I took my phone and pressed the power button.

Huhhhhhhhhhhh! "36 missed calls!!!"

My gosh! Why did I take this incident lightly? She must have been worried about me since morning.

I immediately opened my last dial and called her.

"Ah! Answer it. Answer it.. Answer it, Kaori!"

"Hello?"

"Hello, It's me. I am home. Where are you right now?" I hastily asked her, but my words were followed by a long silence. No answer from her.

"Hello, Hello? Kaori? Are Y-"

"Auuuuhhhhhhh! Adachi-san, Where are you.. WHERE ARE YOU RIGHT NOW! AND WHERE DID YOU WENT WITHOUT TELLING ME?"

"Please calm down. I just... I am at home. Please come and I'll explain everything. But where are you?"

"Sniff! sniff! I am at the police station."

"At the police station... ?"

"Yes and wait. Yes inspector sir. He came home so it's okay."

"Wait. Give me the phone. Who does he think he is to make you cry? Hey, listen you dimwit bastard!!! Can't you be a responsible person ? How dare you- "

"Hello! Hello, Sir please listen to me .. Please I am really sorry for the inconvenience to you. I am extremely sorry. I will apologize to her also. Please cancel our complaint."

A police chase upon me is the last thing I would want in my life. I am also not really a fan of gangster movies. I have not even watched The godfather.

"No, the complaint can't be undone."

"Why, sir?"

"The complaint has been officially registered. So, you have to come to the station and sign yourself. Then only it will be cancelled."

"Okay sir, I will come tomorrow. Is it okay ?"

"Okay it's totally fine. You better be here tomorrow... Miss take this."

"Kaori, Please come home. I will tell you everything."

But what? I better prepare something before she comes home. I just can't say I got kidnapped by a doppelganger today, and he wants me to take care of his life and love affairs. I don't know what would happen if I told her this. She would either kill me or kill him!

I really have to cook something.

"Okay, I'll be there in ten minutes."

I strolled in the drawing room while waiting for another fifteen minutes pondering for excuses for my today's disappearance. That's when I heard the doorbell sound. I don't even had to open the door to know who it was. My heart had already told me. So, who is it? Is it "Lee Young-joon" from "What's wrong with secretary Kim?"? Or is it "Issei-kun" from "High School DxD"?Or is it "Chizikara-san" from "Trash the girlfriend" series(Man, the mc was such a chad in the show, I loved it)?

Or is it attractive, adorable, extremely considerate, kind, bubbly and bright- my sweet girlfriend.

...

... Drum roll …

… Drum roll …

That's right, it's my girlfriend, Kaori Sato.

I opened the door while her eyes met mine- wet and soaked, started flowing and before she could stop crying there were huge tears in my eyes and I went ahead to get her in my hands not realizing she had other plans-

Slap!

I was met with a hard slap. "AHHHH! What are you doing? It hurts! What are you a girl or bitc-"

Slap! I retracted like a child who just got his scolding. I placed my hands over to my cheeks while I sulked .

"Who are you calling a bitch?

"W-Wh-Witch... I was not calling you a bitch but a witch."

"Should I be happy about it?"

"I don't know. But why are you retorting to violence? It's bad."

"What are you talking about? Why wouldn't I be mad over you? Where you were till now? Without saying anything, how can you go?"

Even though I knew there was no mistake of mine, I still felt guilty. But I mustered up and looked at her face and placed both of my hands on her cheeks. Her cheeks felt hot and red.

"Just why would you do that?.. Auhhh.."She broke into tears.

Grabbing her to my chest, embracing her tightly, I slowly whispered in her ears. "Sorry. But I would never leave you."

Her tears almost stopped in an instant. She looked in my eyes sincerely, slightly licking her lips, while slowly coming near me.

My girlfriend is very responsible. She never leaves any end loose. She is almost perfect for any task. So, I don't get instances to tease her.

"At least until I tell you beforehand haha..." She sulked and she pinched me hardly, angrily looking at me

"Ehhh! Sorry, sorry!! Please leave me."

"But you still haven't told me where you were?"

"Okay, okay. Firstly, fresh-up and change your clothes."

Then I went to the kitchen and took out some instant-noodles, boiled some water. It was a hectic day for both of us and I don't think either of us was interested in cooking nor in a mood to eat something heavy. While I brought the noodles to the dining table, she came out of the bathroom wearing her pink night suit. Her hair was still wet which she was drying with the towel. I wonder why she was not using her dryer..

"If you want the hair dryer, it's right there."

"No, I will do it after eating. So, what you have prepared."

"Of course. It's none other than the best weapon in such situations, a worthy- waifu of a NEET- Bestcup instant noodles."

As I told her about such an important weapon of my kind, she wore a disappointed look on her face. And so I immediately tried to shift the conversation and gave her a pack.

" Okay sit. I have something important to discuss with you.

We both took seats opposing us. And she started slurping her noodles.

"I've got a job offer."
