I can't say that I already let go of the past, but it's better compared to continuing having these nightmares. Ever since I crossed the line between Teru and me, I've almost forgotten my duty. I've always think of her as my potential lover, but if a man like me can cross the line, then I guess I'm not that kind of man who can jump to the other side of a wall. The fact that there are some things that I violated doesn't mean I don't regret it. The moment I opened my doors for her, I knew that I might let myself slip for a few moments. Who doesn't want to own the person he really loves? But I didn't say that I have the courage to do so.
This morning when I opened my eyes, my sight was in a blur. The sunlight strikes me intensely. Since when did I open my window? But I just remembered that we have a drink last night and I'm too drunk to go home so I lay down on the sofa on my free will. I guess the open window means they're already up. When I looked around, it was empty. I just found a covered meal for me at the table. Teru left a note on the table that says;
We've gone shopping, be right back soon.
Please enjoy breakfast and don't try to complain or
You-know-who will going to kill you.
Wow, that's surprisingly rhymed. Anyway, this must be something that that violent girl cooked for breakfast. I wonder if she puts anything in it. Nah! What the heck? She wouldn't have done that. After all, she probably considers that I'm from an intense fight of drinking last night so she would have prepared something appreciative. I sat down heavily on the chair that I almost knocked myself unto the floor. I carefully uncovered the meal then tried to observe it. If it's anything lethal then bubbling textures would be seen. I still doubt eating it but my stomach begun to growl and I have no choice but to take it. It's curry, the usual thing that she can only cook. I scoop a spoonful then swallow it. This isn't bad. Not too sweet and not too…wait a minute. I can feel a prickling sensation. Don't tell me…
The door opens and I can hear them from the sink. That woman! She's going to pay for this!
"Hey! Thanks for the nice breakfast. It was terribly delicious!" I was still spraying my tongue with water when they arrive at the kitchen so I sounded bull when I said it. Riko places the groceries in the table then chuckled a bit. "You know Kurosaki; I still haven't forgotten what you did last night to my precious little Teru. That's only a taste of my revenge. Have you already forgotten that I hate perverted guys?"
"What are you talking about?"
She suddenly walks slowly towards me then grab my shirt. She gripped it really hard that it might tear apart. "As expected, you won't remember anything so I'm going to teach you a big lesson. After all, I'm a guidance counselor. I guide you towards the right path."
More like a hell, that's what I wanted to say. But I suddenly felt chills into my spine that I can't talk. Teru enters the room with more bags on her hands.
"Hey, what's wrong in here?"
"More like what isn't wron!." I opposed. Teru put the bags on the table then carefully placed it on the cupboards.
Riko looked at her innocently; a face that will never fits on her "My precious Teru, what do you want me to do with him? Tie him upside down or cut his fingers?"
Teru chuckled a little "Riko-san, the curry is enough. Where will I put the apples? They're pretty raw right now."
Riko lets go of me then went straight to Teru. What the hell did I do wrong? I can't remember doing anything stupid last night. The last thing I remember is getting really drunk after Riko challenges me to a 10 bottle drink. After that, I can't remember anything. I can't solve this alone. The only option left for me is to ask. "Hey, can you tell me what did I do wrong last night? It seems like I forgotten it."
They both looked at me blankly. Again, what seems to be the problem? "What's wrong with you people? Did I kill someone?"
Teru just smiles lightly "No, its better not to remember. It's worse than slaying someone."
The way she said it makes me more confused. She's calm and smiling for heaven's sake.
"You two are weird today. So let's settle this. Whatever I did last night, I'm accepting my punishment, any kind of punishment."
Riko slowly reached for the knife in the table then looks at me with sparkling scary eyes. "Not that kind of punishment!"
"Then I'll have one." Teru blurted out with her right hand raised.
"Okay, so what do you want?"
She walks gleefully towards me then smiles widely "Actually…"
