Chapter 16: A good talk!
Kaito asked Suzume to help him take Akihito to his bedroom. They both shifted Akihito to the bedroom. Then,they decided to drink some beer together.
"Hah,it's been so many days,since I drank beer. By the way,how did Akihito get drunk?."asked Kaito. "Uhh actually,we were drinking beer together and he was talking about his wife. He was very angry that his wife left him and he was upset about it.
Maybe,he loved his wife a lot,but he still got betrayed. Anyways,let's talk about you,so how are you doing Kaito?"asked Suzume.
"There's nothing special about my life. I am just a gangster,living alone. All alone.
My mother abandoned me and I grew up in an orphanage.
That's how my life is,it's very depressing, it would be the best to not talk about it."said Kaito while smiling."hmm it looks like your life was awful,I guess you need someone to wipe your tears. So,I will be the bigger person,and wipe your tears. So,you can tell me your story."said Suzume while smiling.
"Hah,so you want to know about it,ok let's begin then. My father was a gangster,just like me,but he died while fighting with another gangster. I was 6 months old at that time. My mother was heartbroken. So,she abandoned me,by sending me to an orphanage.
I grew up there,and it was a weird experience,all of my friends,were with me,and were happy. But there was something wrong,I didn't feel comfortable when I was with them. Eventually,I got a scholarship,and shifted to America for higher education.
I studied there for 4 years,and then came back to japan. I dreamed of marrying someone and living a good life with my family,but I couldn't get a job and had to become a gangster. This is my story,pretty weird,no?"asked Kaito.
"Oh so,this is your story,I think that you should marry someone,it's not too late to love someone. And at the end of the day,you're just 30,so I think that you should get married as soon as possible."said Suzume.
"Hmm there's actually someone I like a lot."said Kaito." Oh who is it? Just tell me and I will definitely make you marry her!"said Kaito.
" Actually,that person is you! I like you a lot,actually,I have been liking you since we first met. But I never got the chance to confess,so I guess today is the right time! So,what do you think? Should we go out together?"asked Kaito.
"Uhh,look I....I am not a good person for you. I mean I don't deserve you,you deserve someone better than me. Look,I.....I don't know how to cook well....uh....I don't know how to do my laundry...and I dont know how to do the household chores.
And... And ..... I also fart a lot,as you can see."said Suzume in an embarrassing voice. She even farted to show Kaito that she farts a lot. "Hey,if you don't like me,you can just say it on my face,you don't need to embarrass yourself like that. Anyways,it's very late,I think that we should go home.
It was good to know that you don't like me, atleast you're a good person and didn't reject me brutally. Atleast,you were repectful,I respect you and always will."said Kaito.
He left after saying this. Suzumes thoughts: it seems like he was right! I didn't need to embarrass myself like that just to make him dislike me. It was so awkward to talk to him,after I did that. And why did I say that I will make her marry the girl whom he likes!? Am I stupid?
Suzume went home while thinking about Kaito. After reaching home,she did her skincare,ate her dinner and went to bed. Suzume's thoughts: I will move out of this house as soon as I sign the divorce papers. I don't want to stay here anymore,it feels like I am going to suffocate and die.
And...what was Akihito talking about? Someone kidnapped his brother? I should have asked him the details about this. Maybe,he said this because he was drunk,or maybe someone actually kidnapped his brother. I don't know what's the case,but whatever it is,I hope it's not that severe.
And by the way,how am I going to stay at my father's place? I should have gotten a job and bought a house for myself! Now I will have to stay at my dad's place! I will somehow manage I guess because even though,my mother is toxic,I will have to live with her since I am poor!
And..... . She slept while thinking about her mother. The next day,she woke up, got ready and went to the office. After reaching the office,she saw that the office was empty. Suzume didn't care to look for Akihito and started working on the 4 th episode.
She worked for more than 3 hours and then decided to have lunch. Today,she brought homemade luch for herself. She ate her lunch and started working again. After finishing her work,she saw the time,and it was already 6 pm. Akihito was still not there in the office.
Suzumes thoughts: where did he go? Did he attempt suicide when he was drunk? I guess he did! Hah now this office is mine! Ok,that was too much,I shouldn't have said that. Anyways,I think that I should look for him upstairs. Since Kaito took him to his bedroom yesterday.
Suzume went upstairs,and found the main gate open,so she decided to go in since the house looked empty. She went inside,and the living room was empty,so she went inside the bedroom." Hey,is anyone there? Wait...what?? Hahaha!! Wth is this? Kaito,I thought that you were straight but you liked Akihito a lot I guess,hahha!"said Suzume.
