CHAPTER ONE (The Sign of Unpredictable Meeting)

---***---

"Aya…, making you my girlfriend or kissing you right now might be easy for me to. But a first love is too heavy".

"……why? Why do you know you're my first love?".

"I'm not as kind as you think I am, and I'll probably hurt you"

"……."

"Earnest love and things like that, I'm not good with those..", then he, who was a cold-hearted number one guy of Shibuya, left her alone in that restaurant..

***

Let me go from this moment..

Please..

***

"Noooo….!!", she opened her eyes, and woke up immediately. Her face was sweating and seemed to be panic. She felt like she was confined in the dark-scary space, and she couldn't escape from there. Yes, it was a dream, and it might be a nightmare for her. She had dreamed about something that made her heart was getting hurt in 5 years ago. She didn't believe because she dreamed it at three times!

'How can I forget him if that dream always shoves in my head?', she thought. Then she placed her palm to her chest, stopped her panting breath and started to take a deep breath.

"Ok, Aya… It's fine. You know, it was 5 years ago, and sure, he is happy with her right now". She tried to calm down her self. Suddenly, she thought again. She was sure that Rei Otohata had forgotten her, because since she graduated from Tokyo College and got a job, she had never met him anymore.

Especially from that moment..

"Yes… from that moment. When her girlfriend and I……. Uh-?" she was awoke from something. Someone knocked her room.

"Good morning, have you waked up yet, sweetie?" said that voice.

"Oh… yes aunty, I will come up".

"Sweetie, are you okay?"

"Y-yeah, just have a nightmare.."

"So, get up darling.. Then see my shiny face, and you will get ready for everything today~", she said it in a playful tone.

"Ha! Pardon me…?", she made a joke with her lovely-aunt, Kiyoko Hoshino. So her aunt moved away from Aya's room's door and laughed. Aya chuckled when she was listening to her aunt's laugh. A smile was curved in her face and she shook her head. Then she yawned and got up from her bed. She opened her room's door, and met her aunt. Her aunt was surprised when Aya wrapped her arm around her aunt's elbow.

"So, what will you do for me to make me feel happy and get ready for everything today, dear my lovely aunt who-has-a-shiny-face?"

"U-huh, do you want to know?", her aunt prepared a chair in front of the dining table, and let Aya to sit down. "Just sit here and… grab them", she pointed some breakfast for her lovely nephew.

"Whoa…!", Aya was happy when she saw a jumbo French-sandwich and a cup of hot chocolate. "Gracias, aunty..", a sweet kiss landed on Kiyoko's cheek.

"Denada…", she was stroking Aya's long hair.

Aya ate all her breakfast. During chewing her food, her aunty, who was sitting next of her, crossed her arms on the table and looked to Aya.

"So, what's your plan today?"

"Uh- What're you talking about? Sure, I'll go to work, as like usual..", she's still chewing her sandwich.

Aunty narrowed her eyes, "Do you… want to work, now?", she made sure of Aya.

"Of course, why not?", suddenly, Aya stopped to chew her sandwich, 'something goes wrong, huh?' she though. She looked back to her aunty. Her aunty gave a worried smile, "Um- Is it not too late to go working 'now', sweetie?"

Aya was startled when she realized her aunt's mean, "Don't say I'm late.."

Her aunt just nodded, "I don't say it, but you can guess my answer, can't you?"

Aya looked for the clock, and yeah~ it was 8.17 am. She was late.

"Oh my God, what can I do…??", she was really panic. She finished her drink quickly, and ran to her room. Her sandwich was still bitten in her mouth.

"So, you really want to go working, sweetie?", her aunty asked Aya with calm voice.

"Yes, aunty..", she answered it with a bit loud voice, because she was in her room. "Or my boss will kill me…"

Her aunty laughed, "Then call the superman…".

"Uh, thank you…", Aya rolled her eyes, then went to the bathroom.

***

In less than 15 minutes, she came out from the bathroom. The towel still wrapped around her body, and on her head, too. I thought you can imagine her in this situation how sexy she was. She ran to her wardrobe, and then chose some formal clothes for she wore to go working. "Got it!", finally, she took a white-pink tank-top, purple blazer, and purple pants. She wore them, and then made-up her face. She used pink lip-gloss, compact powder, and a few blush-on. The fact was all of those cosmetics made her more beautiful than usual. After that, she took her red-cherry high heels, and then fitted them to her foot. During wore her shoes, she was checking some new messages in her cellular phone.

1st message:

Aya, There's a new order from Mr. Sugiwara. The report will be prepared on your desk today. Good luck, sweetie!! ^.^

-lovely Megumi-

2nd message:

Hola, Aya-ppe!!!

Don't you miss your friend, Miyu? When will you hang out to Shibuya? Ran asked me if for one week you won't join to Shibuya, you will be dumped from the list of Shibuya Gals. Hohoho~ ^^;

Okay, buh-bye!

-dearest Miyu-

The dark long-haired girl, oh no- it's supposed to say the dark long-haired woman, formed a tiny smile on her face when she read the last message which had been sent by Miyu. She was really touched. You don't know how long the time as much as she missed them, Ran and Miyu. Not only Ran and Miyu, but also Tatsukichi, Yuuya, and….

And…

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She couldn't continue that..

Now, it seemed like the hurt in her heart, which was covered by herself with all kinds of effort from the past until now, was opened again. It's so painful. She closed her eyes so tightly and tried to take a deep breath. She bitted her lower lip for a sec, and then sighed. "I'm not strong enough for this. What can I do again?" she thought. She made the keypad locked, and put the cellular phone in her red-cherry bag.

"Sweetie, do you change your plan to go working today?", her aunty was calling her.

"No, aunty…", said her during carrying her stuff to her bag. "But why does it sound like… you won't let me go working today, aunty?"

Her aunty chuckled, "Is it like that?" "Uh- hurry up, sweetie.. You must take a bus to go…"

"No, aunty… I'll take a taxi", Aya brought her bag to her hand.

"Be careful. Don't be late to go home"

"I wish…", Aya waved her hand to her aunty and went out from the gate to took a taxi.

***

8.54 am, at the office.

Aya had arrived to her office, and now she took a lift to the 17th floor. After that, she opened the main door, and checked in to the absency machine for today. Finally, she went to her room, put her bags on her desk and sat down on her chair. She sighed..

She looked on her desk, "What is it?" There's a paper was prepared for her.

It's a report for her. It was written that she got an order to design one of apartment in Le Meridien Apartment, Tokyo. But she really didn't know who the owner was.

"New order, huh?", she still hold the paper and read it until the last sentence. After that, she went to Megumi's room, but Megumi wasn't in. She found a same report like hers, but the difference was she would design an apartment in Platinum Apartment, Tokyo, and Megumi would design an apartment in Le Meridien, Tokyo. FYI, they both were really expensive and listed as luxurious apartment in Tokyo.

"P.S for information of the apartment owner, you just go to the apartment and meet their manager there who will give all of information you need. Don't be late! Sincerely, Mr. Sugiwara", she finished to read it and placed her palm in her forehead. "That's why Megumi went earlier without me… I'm late!", she left Megumi's room and went to hers. She brought her report and her bag, too.

"Dear my job, I'm coming…!", she yelled and went to her apartment target.

***

Platinum Apartment, Tokyo.

9.12 am.

Aya had arrived in that apartment. She paid the taxi driver who took her to the apartment. Then she entered the lobby. "What a big apartment…", she was staring everything there.

Someone was waiting for her there.

"You're must Miss. Hoshino, aren't you?", said him.

Aya bowed her head to him, "Yes, I'm Hoshino. I'm an apartment designer from N.A Company, and I get a job to design one of apartment here", she gave a smile for him. She could guess who he was.

"I'm Mr. van Camp, manager of this apartment. Nice to meet you..", he bowed her head back to Aya.

"So, which apartment could I be supposed to design, sir?"

"Ok, follow me to the 8th floor. I'll show you the apartment, and give you all the information that you need. Let's use that lift", the manager pointed to that lift and let Aya to enter it with him.

"Thank you…", Aya followed him to the lift.

4 minutes later, they arrived and stood up in front of the apartment. The manager entered the apartment security code, and then the door was opened. They went to the main room of the apartment, which was the living room. That's very large room, and yeah… There's no anything. Mr. van Camp explained to her all the information like when this apartment was bought, told her every room was supposed to be what kind of room, etc. Suddenly, there's a cellular phone was ringing. It wasn't Aya's. It was the manager's.

"Wait for a sec..", the manager picked it up.

"Yes.., yes..,", said the manager to his cellular phone, he was talking with someone. After 3 minutes later, he turned back the cellular phone.

"It was the owner of this apartment who will be come 8 minutes later to here…", he informed Aya. Aya just nodded to his current information.

"Uh, but I'm sorry before. I must go to the office now. If you need more information, you just call the receptionist, or ask the owner if you both meet. I'm so sorry to leave you here, Miss. Hoshino", he apologized to Aya.

"Never mind, sir. I can handle myself, just leave it to me", she made sure him.

"Thanks a lot, miss..", "Ah! I'm forgetting something..", he took some files from his black-bag. "This is the owner's profile. How careless I am, I forget to bring the most important thing, I'm sorry miss...", he bowed his head at twice.

Aya waved her hand, "Ah, it doesn't matter, sir. See, the files are on my hand now. So, please go to your office now…", Aya gave smile to him.

"Thank you, Miss. Hoshino. Goodbye.", he bowed his head for the last time. Aya did it back. Now, the manager was gone, and she's alone in that apartment. She tried to read the files.

And,

"……OH MY GOD!", she was startled when she knew who the owner was.

Did you know who the owner of that apartment?

Would the name "Rei" come out from her mouth?

"How it could be……"

"….I-Ichiyama?"

You knew the answer now.

She started sweating. She was very anxious with that name. Of course she knew who the owner was.

"Oh, I don't want to meet her again. Ouch, 8 minutes more.. What should I do..? Thinking, Aya! Thinking…!", she was on the move, getting panic and bitted her forefinger. She just could exude confusing expression on her face now. Still tried to found out the idea for avoid the meeting with the owner. And, finally..

"Ah!", she got an idea.

***

In the lobby..

There's a woman entered the lobby and ran out to Aya. Aya had a seat, waiting for her friend, Megumi.

"Aya..!", she waved her hand.

"Ah, Megumi", she stood up from the seat. Megumi stopped her step in front of Aya and calmed down her panting breath.

"Why are you so sudden doing this stuff??", said Megumi.

"I'm sorry, Megumi. You know, it's very emergency to me.."

"No, I don't know.. But you also need to know, my client is on the way. Now, I'm in another apartment which isn't my client's because my genius friend ask me to exchange the project today.."

Aya couldn't say anything. Her friend was right. She shouldn't do this because of her-self business. She probably thought Megumi's job, too. She felt that she made everything was complicated today. But now, the only one who could help her in this emergency time is just Megumi. She couldn't help.

"Oh, please Megumi.. Just for this time and I promise I won't bother your job again. Could you help me, please?", Aya showed a pity expression to Megumi.

Megumi just sighed, "You know what? I'm really annoyed for doing this.."

Aya was so sad hearing her friend's comment. "I'm sorry.."

"…but it will be a big mistake for me as long as my life, if I don't help my beloved friend"

Aya curved a smile when she heard her friend was continuing her sentences.

"So, you called me as your beloved friend, right?", Aya a made joke to her.

"Of course not, it's for the receptionist..", Megumi pointed to the receptionist table, but there's no anyone there.

They both giggled.

"Thanks, Megumi. I really appreciate it.."

"Huh, and it's not a big deal if you won't tell me what the reason is, right? Ah, you should tell me about Ichiyama, too"

"Okay, I'll tell you sooner", she promised.

"So, how is about the manager of this apartment? Does he know about your plan to exchange this project?"

"I've told the receptionist everything. So, you just come to the receptionist and introduce yourself, okay! I must go now..". Aya waved her hand to Megumi and walked out to the taxi in front of lobby. But she stopped her step suddenly.

"Hn, have you seen the profile of the owner?"

"Yes, and there's no any Ichiyama again, trust me..", she made a circle between her thumb and forefinger.

Aya smiled again, "Thank you!", she went out to the lobby door.

"I'll call you tonight! Good luck, Aya..!"

"You, too..!!" it was the last sentence from Aya in that time.

***

Le Meridien Apartment, Tokyo.

9.48 am.

Aya had arrived in the lobby of Le Meridien Apartment, Tokyo. She entered the lobby, and then gasped.

"H-how gorgeous..", her eyes were staring to everything in that lobby. The decoration was very beautiful. The building construction used modern France style by the way. The lobby was very huge, and the wall was painted in blue sky and cream colors. There're some artistic pictures and ancient paints were framed on the wall. The properties such like sofa, lamp, table, chair, statue and pottery, ceramic for the floor, even some trees were planted in pots were France style.

"Those all made in France, huh?", she thought.

She sighed during walking to the receptionist. "I'll never meet with everyone who was related to him..", she thought. Yeah, I guess you know who "him" was referred to. Aya didn't want to remember her past love story. She would be afraid if she remembered it, and of course, it's pain to her. Even she got a rich client, but the fact was her client was Otohata's girlfriend, Ichiyama Yuri. That's why she planned to exchange her project with her friend, Megumi. "C'mon, Aya.. It should be easy. First, you must throw it from your mind. Second, you will meet another client who was never related to Ichiyama, even to Otohata! Think it!", she thought again until stopped her steps in front of receptionist.

"Excuse me, miss. I'm Hoshino Aya, and I want to design an apartment here.."

"Could you tell me whom you want to meet with?"

"A- wait for a sec, I just want to meet…", she checked her bag and brought out a note. She read the manager's name of Le Meridien Apartment which was told by Megumi when they were exchanging their project. "Mr. Hanazawa… yes, Mr. Hanazawa", she made her sure.

The receptionist checked all of meeting plan's manager. Yes, there was a schedule for Mr. Hanazawa to meet an interior designer for apartment.

"I'm sorry miss, but Mr. Hanazawa should meet Miss. Hayashi Megumi".

"Yes, but Miss. Hayashi and I are exchanging our project now. So, she works in my apartment target before and now, I'll work in her apartment target here".

"I see. Please, go to 10th floor. I'll call Mr. Hanazawa. Then he'll wait you in front of the lift."

"Thanks, miss".

"You're welcome".

Aya entered the lift, pushed the closing lift bottom, and then pushed number 10. After arrived on 10th floor, the door was split. Yes, it's right. There's someone who waiting her in front of the lift.

"Are you Miss. Hoshino?"

"Yes, I'm Hoshino Aya", she gave him smile.

"Ah, I'm Hanazawa Seiji. I'm one of manager here. Let's see which apartment will be designed.."

"Okay..", she followed his step to an apartment. The manager entered the code with pushing some number there. And the door was opened. They came in the apartment.

"What a huge apartment..", she commented.

"Yes. You know what, the owner was very rich. There aren't any goods here by the way".

"I know… I'll try to give my best here", her eyes were staring to the blank wall.

"Good". They were continuing to walking around the room. "You must know that the owner doesn't like too much accessories. The owner wants a simple design, but it must suitable to the owner's wish."

"Okay. Could you tell me sir, what kind of design will be applied by me? Or, could I know the profile of the owner?"

"Yes, it's your right to know. Here the profile..", suddenly, his cellular phone was ringing. He picked it up and talked with someone in other line who's calling him.

"Okay, I'll take you in front of lift. Thank you..", he turned off the cellular phone. "The owner was already in the lift now. You just wait here and I'll welcome the owner in front of lift like what I did to you before. I'll back, so just prepare your self, Miss. Hoshino. Here the profile..", he gave her a paper. Aya took it from his hand.

'Thank you, sir", she bowed her head and saw Mr. Hanazawa left out the room. She raised her eyebrow, and decided to read the profile..

- - - -First paragraph..- - - -

- - - -Second paragraph..- - - -

- - - -Third paragraph..- - - -

"Oh no..", finally, she read the owner's name. The paper was falling down, and she didn't realize it. Her face didn't show any expression, but the sweat was dropping on her face.

Who's the owner?

Would the name "Rei" come out from her mouth?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"H-how it could be… Otohata-kun??"

She didn't call Rei, but it's the same person, right?

She couldn't believe it.

"5 minutes more..? Otohata-kun, will come… h-here?", her face was getting pale now.

"Geez, I must go now..", she ran out from that apartment. She looked out for the lift to go down to the lobby. She tried to keep away from the manager. So, she searched another lift in different way.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hanazawa..", she apologized in her deep heart. Yes, she did it again. She was escaping from her job twice because someone who related to, oh no! It's really him, Otohata, not because of anyone again.

"Why must I meet him now? Why is he my client? If I know this before, I'll never change my project with Megumi..", she regretted during walking to the lift. Finally, she found another lift. She pushed the bottom repeatedly. She was crossing her hand during waiting the lift was opened. 2 minutes later, the lift was splitting. Someone was coming out from there, and then Aya came in.

Uh, this black haired woman…

She pushed the closing lift bottom, but it didn't work. She pushed it repeatedly, and still didn't work.

"What's the matter..?", she started getting upset.

"Ah..", she saw the reason why the door didn't work. Someone who came out from the same lift was spreading out his arms to hold on the lift. Aya stopped to push the bottom.

"Aya?", he called her with a lower tone. He knew her, the black haired woman.

Aya was very startled and widened her eyes,

Oh my…..

"O- Otohata- kun??"
