|My Birthday Present|
[Takano's POV]
My birthday is coming up soon, and yet another busy days at Marukawa, but that's not what's bothering me, it's Onodera, he has been avoiding me recently, not telling me why, but this time he somehow, for some reason, always success on escaping me this time, as if Lady Luck is on his side, now Kisa was yelling his usual breakdowns, and usual question as I answer what I usually do, my eyes then glazed over Ritsu, who is currently panicking on what to do, but is doing his job,
*Brrr...**Brrr...**Brrr...*
My head shot up, I then cast him a cold glare, which he ignored perfectly, this is the third time his phone rang!
"OI! Onodera! I TOLD YOU TO LESSEN YOUR PERSONAL CALLS!" I yelled, he then gave me an apologetic look, he looked rushed to be in fact,
"Sorry! It's urgent!" he said before running off, not even bothering to listen to my protest, he kept using the same reason actually, which made me more irritated, I sighed before plopping down on my seat, he had been acting weird this days, much more weird than he usually does, I heard Kisa chuckle,
"Ricchan, could it be his girlfriend?" he giggled, but immediately stopped and buried himself to his work when I send him a death glare, then out of the corner of my eyes, there I saw Isaka making his way, he looked at the direction where Ritsu had took off,
"Hmm...someone's busy..." he muttered,I raised a brow,
"What are you talking about, Isaka-san?! Isn't he just talking to his mother..." I said, the hint of annoyance clearly in my voice, Isaka just smiled, making his usual 'Hmm' response,
"Well, that's half the truth actually..." he said, now looking back at the direction where Ritsu took off, by his words all of us actually put our attention to him,
"What do you mean?" I asked,
"Well, you see...his mom is pursuing him on taking his role upon the Onodera Shoten, which he is actually trying to decline, but it seems there is no other way to pursue to change her answer, so he is giving his all to catch up, whilst working here," Isaka answered, his usual smug aura softening, my eyes inwardly widened,
'Onodera's
LEAVING?'
The thought alone hurt like hell, was he avoiding me because of this? Sure, he did get random calls from a number that has a coded caller, but he never tells me who it is,
"Though, he did gave his mom a condition..."
'What condition?'
"But really, this isn't my secret to tell, so...C'ya!" with that, no further notice, Isaka took his leave as other employee's bowed to him in respect, just as he left, Onodera came back rushing,
"I'm very sorry! Stuff came up, and I need to go!" he said whilst packing his things, with that heard I snapped out of my trance, and snapped my head looking at him, before putting on my stoic mask,
"Huh?!"
"I'm really sorry, Takano-san...but my father just had another attack, and he needs me to be there...I'll try to come back! I promise!" with that he took off, not even waiting for my response, I growled, before plopping down on my chair, I furiously scratched my head before re-adjusting my glasses, and going back to do my work, but I couldn't really focus, and just kept snarling, well, how could I? What's happening on Onodera? I have no idea, which is why it pisses me off, especially the thought of Onodera leaving was making it worse, and the fact that he had been avoiding me was getting unto me, I made another snarl making my co-workers shiver,
'Just what are you up to? Ritsu?'
I sighed in relief as we finally managed to wrap everything up, everyone bid their usual 'good byes' in the end, Onodera never made it back, just what happened, I then stood up, picked up my bag, as Kisa bid me his good bye, which I just returned with a nod, I sighed, I had missed the last train, so there was no point but to walk all the way back, and besides our vacation will start tomorrow after all, so I could rest all I want afterwards, I was about to turn to a turning alley when,
"LET ME GO! PLEASE!" my eyes widened,
'That voice...Onodera?' I then hid on the block, and peeked on the side, there my eyes widened further, Onodera is there, with a woman? Who is holding his wrists intensely, I was about to jump in by yelling when,
"What do you mean by that?! Ritsu! You're not being serious about this are you? You're not going to marry An-chan, and you told them you're marrying me instead?! What the fuck in the world is that?!" the woman yelled, my eyes widened,
"Like I told you, it was-" he was about to continue, when she clamped his mouth shut,
"RITSU! SHUT UP! AND TELL ME!" she yelled, good thing no one was around or maybe it was a bad thing, then he fell silent,
'Oi, Onodera why aren't you rejecting as usual?!'
"I-I-I LOVE YOU..." my eyes widened,
(A/N: GAHHH! I know, I know there's still my Junjou Romantica fanfic, but then it's almost Takano's birthday so...GAHH! Don't make me say further!
