Chapter 7 - Fate or Fake?

The time was frozen as Kaito step into the bakery. Both of them suddenly becomes numb and starts staring among themselves like the times as theirs. Who thought that they will meet at the bakery and to think Kaito arrived after Amaya and Haruki left the bakery.

What a great coincidence!

The bakery bell rings to make them come back to reality again. Mio sigh all of the sudden makes Kaito watched Mio with worries but he got a call. After that, he picks a cake before rushed to left the bakery.

Because of his rushes, he didn't even notice his wallet drop when he runs. Thanks to Hibiki, Mio need to find Kaito to returned his wallet. 10 minutes have passed since she runs from the bakery to find Kaito.

"Now let's give up and I will return the wallet tomorrow. Wait, the call earlier. He sounds worried and what if someone sick and he needs the money? ARGH! I hate my mind." Mio throwing a tantrum not thinking what impression people will give her.

With a forced heart, she walks and watched closely each person passing her and hope she will meet Kaito soon. She tired from walking but her mind said something else.

In front of the shop flower, Mio stops her walked. She won't know why she has to stop in front of this shop. She sighs, again and again, try to blame fate.

"I don't know why I have to go through all this. Am I doing something that pissed you from my past life, my lord? I get kicked out of my home and then I need to live with the delinquent school. Now, I have to find Kaito but the most important thing is why I in front shop? Am I going to be crazy?"

Through the glass shop, she could see Kaito in there talk with the florist with an expression she never seen and to be honest, Mio quite shock when she sees Kaito kiss the florist's forehead. She quickly left the flower shop but suddenly someone grabs her hand.

"Okay, I'm sorry. I will not tell anyone what I saw just now and no- I don't see anything." Mio said spontaneously when she sees the person who grabs her hand.

Kaito didn't say anything but she dragged Mio to the flower shop again. Mio speechless, she hopes that she can escape and go back home or this is just a dream.

"Kaito-Kun, what's the matter? Who she is?" Said the florist gently.

"She is my friend. The girl I like. kasan, do you remember? I tell you last week."

When Kaito said that, Mio eyes become bigger. Try to process what is happening. She looks at the florist then looked at Kaito. She totally can't accept what happened in her eyes right now.

Hearing her son said Mio is the girl he has a crush on, excitedly Kaito mom greet her. "Mio Adachi right? Kaito always talked about you. By the way, I'm Kaito's mother. Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too. Err thank you." With an awkward smile, Mio greets Kaito's mother.

Kaito's mother wants to talk more but she couldn't because the customer is waiting to be served. While her mother goes to served the customer, Mio pulled Kaito to the corner shop then she bigger her eyes asking Kaito why he said such a thing to his mom and not to forget his mom is FCKING YOUNG! Kaito ignored Mio eyes language while he touches Mio's chin with a seductive smile.

Look at Mio's face, he left Mio and chuckled while Mio's feel sluggish after hearing Kaito word. She nearly falls when he saw Kaito seductive smile. She needs therapy right now. As soon as possible.

Not wasting any times cause if she spend more times in this flower shop maybe she will lack oxygen for sure. Mio looking everywhere but she can't find Kaito at all. Watching Mio's puzzled face, Kaito's mother approached Mio.

"You're looking for Kaito? He went to the groceries just now. You can stay here for dinner."

"No thanks. I need to go back quickly. I'm here to return Kaito's wallet." Mio politely refused Kaito's mom invitation to have dinner with her.

Kaito's mom can't say anything but she just smiles while watching Mio get ready to leave the shop. Before she leaves the flower shop, Kaito's mom gives her a sunflower with a pot.

Automatically, Mio smiles and giggle when she sees the pot of sunflower. "It's for me? Thank you so much. I will treasure it and don't worry I will take care of this sunflower-like, my child."

"This sunflower reminds me of you. Please take care of it properly. Please come again. I wanna show you many things."

Thank god Kaito's mom didn't deny what Mio said. Pretty sure Mio will get embarrassed and never come back to this flower shop again. All of us need confidence like Mio to have.

Imagine Kaito's mother said this to Mio, "I'm sorry but this is not you but my customer. I wanna ask your opinion about my flower? Isn't it pretty.? The level of embarrassments is infinity.

The building of her old apartment makes Mio remember her past. How her parents quarrel about something small and big until they decide to get divorced. Then, she needs to live with her mother and have to sneak to meet her father.

"Why I come here again?" Ask Mio to herself while her hand wipes her tears. She also doesn't know why she cried.

"Hey, you there. Where do you wanna go? Did you know this place is dangerous for a high school girl like you?"

Like a Deja Vu, Mio turned around when she heard the question. When she saw Kenta faces she smiles No wonder she felt like that, it's because Sugawara also asks the same thing when she lost last months.

"Are you okay? You staring at the building too long. Is that your old home?"

"Yeah that's my old home and I'm okay. Nothing to worry of."

"Look what I bought."

When Kenta show the supermarket bag, Mio's eyes become sparkling. No need to say anything, her eyes enough to tell Kenta that she is looking forward to this. Both of them walk to their ramen shop.
