Yoshiko

"December 10th, six years...have passed."

Standing inside my apartment, I was immersed in my thoughts when suddenly I remember that I have to visit Murataki-san. I took the keys and closed the door and stopping at his door I was thinking.

'What does he think about me?'

I press the bell.

Ding Dong

I heard you, your strong and fast steps. You make me notice your anxiousness to open the door.

Clang

The door opens, revealing the face of Murataki-san, he is really handsome with his short black hair and his dark eyes like me.

"Hi, Yoshiko-san, please get in."

"Thanks, Mutaraki-san, sorry for the intrusion."

I take off my heels and enter into the house.

"Please, take a seat, Yoshiko-san."

If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

He goes to the kitchen and he serves me tea.

"Thank you, Murataki-san, I want to ask. Are you free tomorrow? I want to know more about the city because I came from a town far away."

"Oh, I also come from to a town." He said looking at me with surprise.

"Wow, to think that we have something in common makes me really happy." I said with a big smile.

Murataki-san looks embarrassed and his cheeks turning red. It makes him look cute.

A thing got my attention, there's a ball of baseball in the drawer.

Murataki-san must be notice my curiosity because he says

"Oh, this ball was, when I was in high school, a friend gave me this as a present for my birthday."

"Your friend does treat you very well, doesn't he?"

"Yes. He is my best friend and the most important person to me."

I smile and said

"You are so fortunate to have him. Can you tell me more about him?"

"Sure, his name is Yoshiro I know him since we were kids, but I don't know why, but since I came here I haven't heard anything from him."

"Oh, what a pity"

"Yes, I feel sad because I used to have him around, and we have a close relationship, I want to know what happened to him."

"I'm sorry, but it's getting late, I have to go back."

"Oh, of course, I'm sorry to hold you back for too long."

"No, it was not troublesome instead I feel happy to know more about you."

"About what, you ask before, I get off of work at 6 p.m. Can I pick you up at 7 p.m.?"

"Ok, see you tomorrow Murataki-san."

"See you Yoshiko-san."

After I left Murataki's-san home, lying on my bed.

Flashback

I sneak to him and cover his eyes.

......

"You always know it's me! How do you know?" I said while I'm laughing.

......

"Then, I bet you don't know what is the surprise I have for you!"

......?

"Close your eyes."

"Ta-dah, I work hard to get it to you, so don't dare to ever lose it.

......?

"Of course is me, you tell me that you want it."

.......

"Ok, ok, I understand you are also the most important person to me." At that moment I was the happiest person in the world while we hugged each other.
