GET BACKERS-MOMENTS…CHAPTER ONE – THE NEVER- ENDING WAIT
"Ima wa mada hi mo tokenai… mune no oku no garasu saiku…" hummed Natsumi while wiping the dishes that she had washed only a few minutes ago.
As she was doing this task, her mind wandered off to Ban. She then shook herself. Why was she thinking of him? She had no idea. It wasn't just that day… This had been going on for the past one week…
Her thoughts went on and on until Paul brought her out of her dreamy paradise.
"Natsumi, is something the matter?"
"No, it's nothing. I'm perfectly all right"
"You don't mind if I ask you something, do you?" aid Paul gravely.
"Not at all," replied Natsumi.
"I've been watching you over the past few days and…"
"And?"
"You seem to be really distracted," said Paul frowning, "Is that so?"
"No, I'm not distracted," snapped Natsumi who was taken aback by Paul's question, "My distraction is merely a fragment of your imagination"
"I hope it is, because it shall not only disturb your work here but also your studies"
"I understand"
As the sky turned orange, which marked sunset, it was actually time for the seventeen year old to go home (since she was supposed to be home on Tuesdays before it turned dark outside). But she suddenly remembered something and decided to stay back. Paul was surprised –
"What's the matter, Natsumi?" How come you're staying back late today?"
"Well, I feel pretty lonely at home," said Natsumi (fervently lying), "Dad's never there, so I have to spend my time all alone in that…"
"Okay, I got that"
So this was our sweet Natsumi, who kept lying, as you can see above. But do you know the so very obvious reason behind it? If you do know, it's good for you. If you do not, then I don't think I'll mention it for now. Oh yes, I shall say one thing, that is, one of this story's protagonists is on a mission whilst the other is as you see has just plunged into a never-ending wait for him…
