The woman Daichi stumbled across was indeed Aoi-san's friend. As Daichi approached her she stared at him with a cold stare as if she was telling him to back off.

Daichi-You are her friend, right?

Sakurai-yes I am indeed her friend but do you have any business with me?

Daichi -I shifted here just recently and well I didn't know about the past of Aoi-san so I just visited her to greet as a new neighbour but she didn't open the gate and then I got to know about her past so I Just wanted to apologise to her if I sacred her. So Sakurai-san would you please convey this to Aoi-san?

Sakurai was just there standing for what Daichi had to say as if she was trying to control her anger and it seems that she had reached her limit.

Sakurai- Mr Daichi I know what you did was not wrong but I would like you not to try to approach her in the future and that's for the best.

Daichi -I didn't have any ill intention to harm Aoi-san's feelings.

Sakurai -Even if you don't she is afraid of the outside because of men, (tears rolling down her eyes ) Aoi was always cheerful and helping, she was just living her life peacefully then suddenly one day on her home some filthy pigs(men) could not contain their lust for the female body.

When I saw her on the hospital bed she was lying there as limp as a corpse without her smile that could once lighten up anybody's bad day.

That's when I decided I will do anything in my power to prevent any hurt to Aoi.

Daichi was just standing there listening to everything knowing that everything she said was true and he was just thinking might have rubbed salt on Aoi-san's wound.

Daichi-I knows....... that what I have done hurt Aoi-san and for that, I sincerely apologise and I respect the fact that you want to help a friend in need but believe me after I heard about Aoi-san I also wanted to help her. you live away from this housing what would you do in case of an emergency?

As Daichi said that he hand over his card with his contact details to Sakurai-san and then left the scene.

Sakurai didn't say anything but reluctantly put the card in her bag.

Aoi was also there just by her door listening to their conversation in the dark.

ONE WEEK LATER

Sakurai was in her office ready to leave to visit Aoi and bring her the items she needed but as she started to gather her stuff and started to leave her head stopped her and told her that the client have demanded some change in the orders we agreed on, so please go and do the changes.

Sakurai was thinking" shoot I had to go to Aoi why do I have to suddenly do these changes? Now is not the time to waste it thinking that, I have to finish this quickly and visit Aoi. And she started to do her work as quickly as she can".

At the apartment, Daichi was coming back from work he now tries not to indulge himself with Aoi out of the thought it may scare her. As he was opening his door he noticed that there was still some slip left in the box he thought why it's still there because by the time he comes back he always finds the box empty. He started to move towards the door hesitantly he picked up the slip and was wondering if he should open it or not thinking it might upset Aoi and her friend Wondering if it was for food or something he opens the slip. As soon as he finished reading he locked his door and dashed out to get something.

Actually, the slip reads fever medicine and he was worried if the slip has been there for the whole day she might have been in bad shape he bought everything that he finds will help her recovery and brought them in front of the door.

He thought Aoi must be in bad shape or maybe asleep so he started to ring the doorbell rigorously As soon as he notices that footsteps are approaching the door he backs up and enters his house.

Aoi was surely in bad shape drenched in sweat and her face was red. She notices that there was no one there but a Letter in the box, she picks up both the stuff Daichi bought and the letter and entered her house.

She took the medicine and after feeling a little bit better she settled down and stared at the letter and with a deep sigh, she opened the letter and started to read it.

The letter read........
