-At Cafeteria-
SHOYO : Guys, wanna go to this place this weekend?
AN : Where is that? A theme park?
KEN : With you guys? What's the point of going there with "guys" only...
SHOYO : Eh? Does it have to be with girls then?
KEN : Ofcourse, right Ryuga?
RYUGA : I don't know, I've never been to any theme park before.
AN : Since you were a kid?
RYUGA: Yeah, from what I remembered, I never go out to a place like that before.
AN, KEN & SHOYO : Seriously? ~ what a sad life ~ *they all look down and feeling sorry for Ryuga, and then they suddenly remember something* ~eh, does that meant Tachibana have never been to a place like that too before?~
* An, Ken and Shoyo look at each other as if they know what the others are thinking about.*
RYUGA : I'm serious, why?
*all of them are speechless*
KEN : Here, take these. *take all 3 tickets from Shoyo and give them to Ryuga* Go there to check out first by yourself today. Study the place well and find out interesting things to do there. Then, you put them into a list. When you go there, you will be prepared with everything.
RYUGA : Urm, are these really necessary?
AN : Listen Ryu, as a guy, you need to know that this kind of place is a place you must visit with the people that you care and love. Don't you have someone like that?
RYUGA : I do. I'll take her there then.
*The three of them look at each other and have that happy look for Ryuga and Tachibana. They think to themselves that they are happy for Ryuga and Tachibana because they finally make some progress in their relationship.*
KEN : Trust me, she will be happy if you do that.
RYUGA : Okay, okay, I understand. Is it okay for me to take these, Shoyo?
SHOYO : Sure. Besides, I've got one for myself. So I'll go with my sister .
RYUGA : What about you two?
AN : I wanna study this weekend. Shizu sensei will get mad if my score were low again this time. Come to think of it, you also need to focus on your study too Ryu. You're a lot worse than me last time, I suggest you...
KEN : What are you talking about, he need to go to this park first. Study can wait. *while glaring at An giving him a warning to not disturb the date.*
AN : *He got the signal* Ouh, ouhh, yeah but you probably need to go there first.
RYUGA : Thanks for the tickets then. I'll buy you lunch next week.
AN, KEN & SHOYO : Sure.
- At Ryuga's Room-
AIKO : Ryu, what do you want to eat? *in the kitchen while wearing her apron preparing to cook*
RYUGA : Maybe something sweet? *Survey the theme park on the phone while sitting at the dining table*
AIKO : Will Omelet rice do?
RYUGA : Sure, anything that you prepared is going to be delicious, so anything is fine.
AIKO : Alright then, give me some time. *take out the pan and start the fire*
-Aiko's Recipes-
The Fried rice
Heat up your pan, then pour in some oil.
After it got heated, pour the excess oil into a bowl and only use what is left on the pan's surface.
Use at least 100g chicken fillet, 100g onions, a handful of shimeji mushroom and soy beans then put them into the hot pan.
After you stir them for a while, put 8-10g of butter into the pan and let it melt.
Then, put one plate of cooked rice into the pan and add some salt, pepper also a little bit of msg if you want.
Add sweet sauce/demi-glace to your fried rice and cook it for a little bit longer before you take it out.
The omelet
Repeat step 1 & 2. Now for the egg, use 2-3 eggs and mix it with a pinch of salt.
After that, pour the mixed egg into the pan and scramble it for some time while it is still in liquid state.
Make an omelet shape with the tip of your pan and control the heat well.
Put the omelet on top of the rice before cutting it open.
You can put some special ingredient such as "magical love power" when you serve the food.
RYUGA : What the heck with that last step?
AIKO : Hahaha, that's what I always watch on anime though.
RYUGA : Only idiots will trust that.
AIKO : Hurmm, don't be rude. Let me try it if you don't believe it. *starting to chant something.* let it be delicious and sweet like me. Now, let's try it. *Handing a spoon to Ryuga with a smile on her face.*
RYUGA : Huh? *take the spoon and eat the food.*
AIKO : How's it?
RYUGA : Really tasty..nyum, nyumm. *His eyes are sparkling because of the deliciousness.*
AIKO : See? Chant it with some love words will make it even more tastier. *feeling proud and cross her arms*
RYUGA : That's wrong, it's tasty because you're the one who cooked it. *saying it casually and keep eating the food.*
* Aiko is blushing and put down her arms after listening to what Ryuga said and she sit down to eat with Ryuga quietly.*
RYUGA : Ouh by the way Aiko, are you free this Sunday?
AIKO : I think so, why?
RYUGA : *show the tickets for the theme park*. Come with me to this place.
AIKO : *excitedly* Woahhhhhhhh.. Sure, sure, sure, let's go now. I want to go now.
RYUGA : It's not open today stupid, and it's already night time now. Not to mention that the rain is quite heavy outside.
AIKO : Tomorrow then, tomorrow. I want tomorrow.
RYUGA : Tomorrow is Saturday. *Put down the spoon and shouts* Didn't you hear me. I said Sunday. I repeat SUNDAY!!!
AIKO : *cover both of her ears with her hands* Awwwhhhh.. Fine, fine, I'll sleep for a whole day then. Wake me up when it's Sunday already, okay?
RYUGA : *speechless*.. Superrrr Idiot…. calm down okay. Listen to me, I need your help there. I don't know this place well, but I plan to bring Yui that day. With you there, I'm sure you can help me with something.
*it rains so hard outside and the thunder is not going to stop. Aiko's joyful face is slowly disappearing. It's her first time to feel that kind of feeling in her heart. She feels sad, angry, and down at the same time. She can't express her feelings well and she just punch the table once and it is splitted into two.*
RYUGA : *stand up quickly with an angry look* Oii, what's wrong with you?
AIKO : Stop talking, while I'm being nice. *Look at Ryuga with a killing intent.*
*Ryuga went down and pick up the leftover omelet rice that are still on the plate*
RYUGA : I don't know why you are suddenly upset, it's really only open on Sunday. Can't you be patient, you're not a kid anymore.
AIKO : I said stop talking, are you deaf?! * try to kick Ryuga but stop when she realized she will hit his head*
*Ryuga feels threatened and instinctively get to her back and locked her body.*
RYUGA : So you really want to kick me just now, huh? Is fight all you want? *very upset with her attitude*
AIKO : *Get back to her sense* No, I didn't mean it. I'm sorry.
RYUGA : Enough, I'm tired with your attitude. Go back to your room. *Stand up straight and turn his back towards Aiko to calm down.*
AIKO : But I.. *her eyes are teary.*
RYUGA : I said go back..
*Aiko walk away, her tears are falling down. She wipe her tears even though her tears looked like it wouldn't stop, then she went back to her room.*
~That girl is really crazy. Can't she be patient to wait for one more day. I don't understand her at all. *look at the food that is spilled on the floor* this food is wasted. Just eat whatever that's left. ~
*finish cleaning up the mess, and went back to his bed. He keep looking up at the ceiling and take a look at the window for quite some time*
RYUGA : It's raining too hard outside. I can't sleep well if the thunder won't stop, arghh where did I put it. *try to find his Nintendo Switch*
~I swear last time I put it here. Where is it? Aiko didn't take it right? Nah she never take anything before asking me first, maybe it's still in the living room~
*He turn on the light and look around the living room. When he finally found his Nintendo switch, he saw Aiko's key next to it. Without thinking anything else, he rushed out of his room.*
RYUGA : Why are you sitting there stupid. *looking at Aiko who is sitting on the floor and got wet because of the rain.*
AIKO : I forgot to take my key and can't enter my room. *looking at the other side to avoid looking at Ryuga*
RYUGA : come in, you're so wet. You will be sick if you don't take a bath now. *Reaches out his hand to help Aiko stand up.*
AIKO : I can sleep here…
*Ryuga can't help feeling annoyed and he carries her in princess style into his room.*
AIKO : stop, put me down.. *try to get away but she can't*
RYUGA : don't move too much girl, we will fall if you move too much.
AIKO : Then put me down.
*Ryuga didn't hear anything Aiko just said, he take her to the bath tub and leave her a towel outside*
RYUGA : Take a bath, I'll take your clothes from your room. Anyway, sorry in advance for getting into your room. *Go out of the bathroom and lock the door from outside.*
AIKO : *Run out of the bathtub and knock on the door.* Ryu, open the door. I'll take the clothes by myself.
RYUGA : Bye. Again sorry, I won't do anything weird in your room, don't worry.
AIKO : Be quick then.
RYUGA : Sure. *walking out*
-In Aiko's room-
RYUGA : Uwarghhh, so messy. She keeps my room clean but can't handle her own room well. *Pick up something from the floor.* What is this? A lollipop's stick? There's so many of them on the floor.
*clean some of the rubbish in her room and arrange her books, and manga on her bed.*
RYUGA : Done, at least this much will do. Wow, there are so many pictures of us on her wall. Wow, this one is when we were at uncle's. Hahahaha, Aiko's face looks funny in this one. Ouh, and who's this person? She is so beautiful, she doesn't looks like her mom though. Is it her sister? But she never told me anything about it. Must be one of her friends. Shit, I forgot that Aiko's still locked in the bathroom.
*he quickly took some random clothes from Aiko's closet. Little did he knew that he missed some important pictures from that many pictures on her wall.*
- Ryuga's bedroom-
AIKO : I'm sorry for what happened earlier. *changing into her clothes*
RYUGA : I don't want to talk about it. Now change faster please, I want to go in and sleep after you finish changing.
AIKO : wait, Okay done. *Button her pyjama and walk towards the door.*
* Ryuga open the door and he saw that Aiko wanna go out of his room.*
RYUGA : Where are you going?
AIKO : I wanna go back to my room. Why?
RYUGA : Don't go out. The moment you open that door, you'll get wet again. Better sleep here tonight.
AIKO : En, I'll sleep at the living room then.
RYUGA : Like I said, where are you going? *hold Aiko's waist and put her down on his bed. Then, he check her temperature by placing his forehead on Aiko's forehead.* I knew it, you're getting a cold.
* Aiko couldn't help herself but felt weird when she was treated like that, Ryuga told her to lie on the bed and put a blanket on her. *
RYUGA : Sleep well, I'll take care of you.
AIKO : But I'm not sick at all. *Pulling Ryuga's hand to touch her forehead.* Look, my forehead is not hot anymore.
RYUGA : Please for god sake, just listen to me and get some sleep.
*Aiko don't know what is happening to herself, she can't calm herself down like usual, and she would always try to get into a fight that she didn't mean to.*
AIKO : Okay… *laying back down on the bed.*
RYUGA : Thank youuu.
AIKO : Ryu, would you give me a goodnight kiss? *trying to tease him for the last time.*
*Ryuga move right away and kiss her forehead.*
RYUGA : Now, sleep.
AIKO : ...…~ I seriously didn't mean that one too, but it's so warm~
…....…
- Sunday Morning -
RYUGA : What's wrong with the style? *Looking at himself in the mirror while Aiko is styling his hair.*
AIKO : Styling your hair like this will make your appearance looks much better than the casual one.
RYUGA : But, this one doesn't suit me well though.
AIKO : Look in the mirror well, this style suits you even better.. A little gel here.. okay, done! See, it's amazing..
RYUGA : You really think so?
AIKO : *take out her phone and take a picture of Ryuga.* yup. Awesome.. I'll upload this on my instagram later.
RYUGA : Don't forget to tag me.
AIKO : No problem. "Ting" Done...
RYUGA : Good, if there's nothing left. Let's go or we might miss the bus.
AIKO : Give me a minute, let me check my things, here, here, here.. Okay good, everything's here.
RYUGA : Let's go then.
-both of them come out of the bus-
AIKO : Have, you called Yui? Where's she right now?
RYUGA : She said, we'll meet her around here. Will I do well today? Honestly, I'm quite nervous right now.
AIKO : Don't worry I'll make you and Yui become a couple this time.
RYUGA : Thank youuu. I'm glad to have you in my life.
*Aiko just smile at him.*
…....….
- Outside of Hirakata Park -
YUI : Ryuuu… Hereeeee *waving at Ryuga*
RYUGA : Ouh, there she is. Let's go there Aiko…. *Turn around to find Aiko.* Aiko? Where are you?
AIKO : Stop it Ryu. I'm inside of this bear. Go on, I'll follow you in this bear suit.
RYUGA : How did you get that bear costume?
AIKO : I borrowed it from that old man. I'll pretend to sell these balloons while helping both of you.
RYUGA : You don't have to do that. Let's go together.
AIKO : Stupid, a date is supposed to be a pair of girl and boy. It will be weird to have a third person there with you guys.
RYUGA : Really? But I already told Yui that you'll come with us too.
AIKO : Why did you tell her?????? *take a deep breath to calm down.* Just tell her that I have something to do and can't join you guys.
YUI : Why are you taking so long Ryu. Ehhh, pandaaaaaaaaaa….
AIKO & RYUGA : ~It's a bear~
YUI : So cute.. I love panda very much.
AIKO & RYUGA : ~again It's a bear~
RYUGA : yeah they're cute. I'm just thinking of buying this for you. *take 1 balloon from Aiko and give money to Aiko. Then, turn around to give the balloon to Yui.*
YUI : thank you.. where's Aiko?
*the bear start to move away little by little.*
RYUGA : he..he.. she said she have something to do.
YUI : Should we go in next time then?
RYUGA : No, it's okay. She said we can go without her.
YUI : Really? So where should we go first?
RYUGA : How about take a walk around the park first. I've never been into a park before, so I don't really know much about this place.
YUI : Really, that's so funny. Nevermind then, let's go there, I'll take care of you since you already bought me the ticket.
*they go to a lot of places and play many different games there. Ryuga never take his eyes off from Yui. Yui noticed him looking at her and blushed. She don't even know how much time she blushed that day. Not only him who feels that way. Yui also seems more open towards Ryuga when they are together. They talk many things about themselves.*
-taking a short break while sitting on a bench-
YUI : So you've got into an accident before? And lost all of your memory?
RYUGA : Yeah, to be honest with you, I don't even know what my parents look like. My uncle told me that they were aboard and leave me in his care.
YUI : Does that mean you also didn't know who Aiko really is?
RYUGA : Yaa, but I believe that she's someone who used to be close to me like what she said. The fact that I felt comfortable being around her make me feel assured with it myself.
YUI : She's a very good friend. ~I know now why she is being kinda overprotective to Ryu, this is just my assumption though, but I think she must have love Ryu very much, and losing all his memory must be quite a shock to her. Not to mention the accident make her care more for Ryuga.~
RYUGA : She's very annoying sometimes though.. I don't know what she is thinking in her head.
YUI : That's how a girl really is. We don't know what we actually want, so we just go with the flow.
RYUGA : From the way you talk, you two seems quite close.
YUI : Hope so..
RYUGA : Why do you look so down? Did I said something wrong? *drink the juice that they bought just now and look at Yui with a worry face.*
YUI : No, no.. I'm just thinking about when my father used to bring me to a place like this.
RYUGA : Is he already….
YUI : No, he's fine. It's just that he spend more time doing his work now. He wasn't like that before.
RYUGA : What happened to him?
YUI : My father had worked at a company before. He's a very good worker from what I heard when his friend came to visit. But one day, he got fired without any reason. Everyone tried to complaint for him but at the end he said that he resigned by himself. Everything started to go wrong from there. He tried to do investment but was scammed for many time. He tried to do a lot of different work but nothing suits him.
RYUGA : What was your father's job before?
YUI : He work as a CFO which is a Chief Financial Officer.
RYUGA : *smile cheerfully*… Don't worry, he will get a new job soon. Let's try that one next. *pointing at roller cs*
YUI : haha, I hope so.. Sorry for bringing down the mood like this on a happy day.
RYUGA : nah it's okay.. come here *stand up and take her hand.*
*Yui look at Ryuga and start laughing happily as if it's been so long she felt this happy.*
