(Third
POV)
At
campus there are two rather short people who tried to enjoy the day after their
lecture
end. Ruki and Emily sit on one of the canteen chairs
“Em,
I’m going to Dea’s house later, do you want to come too?” said the short male
one.
“You
want me as a third wheel? Why would I come to her house while you also there?”
said the short female one.
“(shrugging) She said you and her have a little time
to chat after you graduated from senior high. She wants to catch up.”
“It’s
true. But. . . I don’t know. I mean, I need to go somewhere today”
“Where?”
“Why
do you want to know?” Emily raised one eyebrow.
“(shrugging
–again-) Just curious”
“curiosity
kill a cat”
“I’m
not a cat” Ruki send a grin to Emily “I’m a lion”
“That’s
a cat too”
“Geez
just tell me where. I can ask Dea to go there as well”
“You
won’t like it, you not the type to like what I like, we are completely an
opposite” She drink her beverage and continue her sentence before Ruki can butt
in. “I am going to some bookstores anyway. I need to find materials for my
paperwork.”
“Bookstore?”
disgust face shown on Ruki’s face,
“See,
your face really said ‘I hate books’. But I think Dea likes books, especially a
true story kind book”
“How
did you know?” no he has a disbelievement face.
“I’m
her friend for 3 years for nothing” Emily pointed her pen that she holds for a
while.
“Che.
You forget something easily in my case though”
“I
have a habit to erase an unnecessary and not important memory from my brain.
Sorry” Emily start to gather her belonging and heading out from the canteen.
“Hey!!“
Ruki following behind her like a duck with his mother.

-At
Dea’s house
Dea
humming while preparing tea for
her guests in the living room. While in the living room the guests themselves
rather have a vocal argument about something.
“And~
why the hell am I here? Didn’t I say I will go to bookstores?” Emily said in an
annoyed tone to Ruki who is busy changing television channel.
“So
annoying. I told you its Dea’s want, if she wants you to come, I’ll do anything
to take you here”
Emily
just about to retort back but Dea’s head already popping from the kitchen way.
Ruki glare a bit then smile to Dea’s face who is smiling.
“Tea
is ready. Please try it”
*
While
they drink tea with a relax atmosphere suddenly Ruki yelled something. Dea
almost choked on her tea, while Emily spurting a bit of her tea to the floor.
“-cough,
cough- What the hell Ruki??” Emily glared whole heartily to Ruki attempting to
throw her tea glass over his head.
“Oh
my God. I forget something really important.” Ruki look depressed all of
sudden.
“And
what is exactly?” Dea asked.
“My
cousins coming over to my house, and there is no one at my house right now.
Arggh this is because I drag your sorry ass to Dea’s house Em.”
“What?!
So now this is my fault?” Now Emily wants to strangle him.
“Yeah.
If you just agreed without resisting in the first and we didn’t fight like a
cat I won’t forget about this.” He points his finger to Emily’s face.
“You.
. ” Emily’s word cut off by Dea who said they really fight like a cat just now
and tell them to shut up with a creepy smile. They end up like a kick puppy
until Ruki –again- yelled and grab his
belonging processing to go out but of course after said ‘sorry’ and ‘good bye’
to Dea and plus a glare to Emily.
After
that silence took the living room of Dea’s house for a second but then Emily’s
voice can be heard from outside yelling to Ruki who will take her home if he
left alone, something like that with adding ‘jerk’ and ‘stupid shorty’.
*
Still
in Dea’s house Emily fuming and sulking don’t know how to get home, even Dea
said she can stay over its just she didn't want to trouble her and her family
so she decline. She forget her situation after a while though and start
chatting with Dea, they talk with laptop in front of them and a bowl of noodle
in hand.

-Meanwhile
at Ruki’s house.
Ruki
was born from a wealthy family that has
a big company in
entertainment sector. He lives in good surroundings, his house not so big not
too small to. Their family likes having a simple life although they might have
anything luxurious if they want.
Someone
is standing in front of Ruki’s house with arm folded in front of his chest
which is wrapping in plain black shirt, his hair tied in high ponytail. Ruki
call out his name and waving his hand to catch this person attention. That said
person slowly turned his head and standing there waiting to Ruki come to him.
“Tsk”
With a glare he points to his watch.
“Sorry
Kai I have to take a cat to a vet for her shoot.” Ruki grin and scratch his
neck, nervous.
“You
need to tell me if there’s no one at home before I come here, I wouldn't have
to wait so long. And you .
. . have a cat?” Kai raised his eyebrow
“No,
no” Ruki wave his hand repeatedly before continuing “It’s not my cat. A wild
cat I happen to know”
Kai
looked at Ruki with a –what?!- look, like his brain has some virus that makes its stop from working
properly.
He continues his stare a few second then look at his watch. “Anyway, it’s already late, I’m tired and I want
to rest. And . . .” He look
back at Ruki who is still grinning “. . . you need to rest too” ‘who know maybe
it can help your mind come back to work’ he added in his mind.
*
After Kai put his luggage and went for a shower, Ruki
look like he is in the middle of conversation with someone on the phone. He
even said sorry a lot.
Kai enter Ruki’s vision and mouthed ‘who’ to Ruki. Ruki
not answering right away because he still apologizing to this person.
*
(Kai’s
POV)
I
don’t know someone can apologize so many on the phone. From what I can heard,
although it’s vague, I can tell it’s a girl who is really angry.
‘Girlfriend?’
I mouthed. Ruki quickly said no and the call stop.
“Arghh.
Geez, look what have you done. Now Dea won’t see me again” Ruki snap at me
like I was the wrong one here.
“What
have I done? I don’t remembered doing something that is wrong” I glared “And is
that Dea just now?” I know Dea not too long ago when Ruki said he has a new girlfriend.
He glare back “No, and yes. In the first it’s Dea who is
calling but after that the damn cat that is one that talk to me” after the word cat he
is scowling, is it the cat he helped just now?, wait, I don’t know cat could talk.
“Cat?”
“Yeah, I left her at Dea’s house to hurrying here, and
now she is pissed along with my Dea” he bow low his head.
“You said the cat is at vet, now she is at Dea’s house” I
asked confused.
“Ah that. . .” He give me that –Ah,crap- face “The truth
is the cat is my friend named Emily. Before I got here, Emily and I went to
Dea’s house with my motorbike, and I remembered you here I sorta left her
there”
“You are the worst”
“Hey!! If I’m not come here who would open the damn door
for you?” he throw his tantrum like a kid at me.
“Waiting won’t kill me. And now how do you think she will
go home? Isn't Dea has a motorbike?”
“She is alone at home, all the transportation are used
with her family, so. . .”
“Grab your jacket, we will go back there and take here
home. And you need to apologize” what a gentleman I am (Mhuahahahahah --‘).
“I was doing it a while ago” he pout but stand up and
follow me out from the house.
