Chapter 14
At the Hotel, when Iwaki reached he got out of the car and walked through the doors of the hotel, the moment he entered the hotel, all the eyes turned and started to look at the outstanding beauty standing on the red carpet, the beauty, on the other hand was searching the whole room for his waiting lover and at that moment he saw something he never thought he would…
Katou… in the arms of another woman… a woman he had never seen…
He gritted his teeth and walked straight to the sofa where that wretched woman was sitting, holding his lover.
"Get your hands of him!" Shouted Iwaki, he was only 2 steps away from the two people sitting on the sofa.
The moment Katou herd his lover voice, he jerked and stood up. His eyes widened when he saw the face of his lover twisted with anger.
"So you finally managed to make…"
Katou didn't finish his sentence when Iwaki slapped him with the back of his hand, across Katou's face, the slap was so hard that because of it Katou fell on the sofa he was previously sitting on. When Katou realized what had just happened after seeing stars in broad daylight, he turned and saw that Iwaki's face was red and burning with anger, he said.
"Iwaki-san! What was that for!"
"I don't believe it! How in the world did I trust you! I knew from the start that this might happen one day but because you kept on telling me that you love me and only me, I believed you and today I see you in the arms of another woman, how the hell do you think it's going to make me feel?"
While he was saying this, tears started to run down his face uncontrollably. The whole lobby was quiet and there was a killing pin drop silence in the room, everyone was shocked at what they saw and heard.
"That's it! I'm leaving! And this time…don't bother calling me because I'm not going to come…even if you plead…I still won't!" with that Iwaki turned around and walked out the hotel doors.
Katou was shocked at what he heard and didn't understand what was happening, then it struck him, Iwaki was walking out of his life and he had to do something to stop Iwaki before everything was too late, Katou ran through the lobby and through the doors but saw that Iwaki was out of the parking and had got on the main road, he ran to his car but when he reached in his pockets for his car keys, his pockets were empty, then he remembered that he left his keys on the table near the sofa he was sitting on. He ran back in to get the keys and then ran out again to his car, got in and drove away.
The first thought of where Iwaki would go was their house so he got on the express way and straight to their house, but when he came in he saw that the house was empty and there was no sign of Iwaki anywhere in the house next he thought of the park he and Iwaki used to go to and when he reached there, no sign of Iwaki there as well. Katou searched all the places that came to his mind and the last place that was left was Iwaki's family house but he knew that if Iwaki is not there his family will get worried that if Iwaki is not with Katou then where can he be, then Katou took a deep breath and set out for Niigata.
In a short time he was standing in front of the big house, he took another deep breath and held it in then knocked on the door of the big house…surprisingly Iwaki's father opened the door.
"Ah! Katou-kun, please come in"
"Umm I wanted to ask you something oji-san…" said Katou trying to hold back.
"Yes, go ahead…what is it?"
In a shaking voice he said "did Iwaki-san by any chance come by here…?"
Iwaki's father, who was walking ahead of Katou, stopped in his tracks, turned on his heels and said "What do you mean? Isn't he with you?"
"Well…we kinda had a fight because of a misunderstanding and all and he left I tried to follow him but he disappeared and then I couldn't reach him by cell phone so I went to the place we would usually go but he wasn't there either so this is the last place that came in my mind."
Iwaki's father looked shock, he suddenly turned and headed for the phone, picked it up and dialed a number and waited for the phone on the other side to be picked up.
"Hello?"
"Masahiro! Did Iwaki contact you!"
"No…what is wrong father? You sound really worried! What is the matter? Did something happen with Iwaki?"
"Masahiro… Iwaki and Katou had a fight and Iwaki left… Katou has searched every place he could think of but there was no sign of Iwaki…"
"What! That reckless little…! Don't worry father I will also try to find him just tell Katou to look as well and I'll be home in about 5to 10 minutes."
"Come fast…"
With that Iwaki's father closed the phone and looked at Katou, who was standing next to him with a puzzled look on his face. He understood that Katou was wondering what Masahiro might have said.
"Don't worry…Masahiro is on his way…he will help us look for him…"
With that he gave Katou a slight smile and that was the first time he had see him smile. Katou nodded and said.
"I will keep on looking for him-"
He didn't finish his sentence when his cell phone started to ring, he looked at it and it was his mother calling.
"Hello, Mother"
"Yoji! Where are you?"
"Why? What I the matter? Why do you sound so worried?"
"It's Iwaki…he is here…at our place…what did you say to him? He's really upset and not to mention he has vomited twice!"
Katou cut his mother and said.
"He's at your place!"
"Yes! And Katou Yoji if you want me to forgive you, you better come here NOW!"
"Yes, yes I'll be right there! Just wait for me!"
Katou ended the call and turned to Iwaki's father and said.
"We found him! He's at my parent's house!"
After saying that Katou took a deep breath in and collapsed as he breathed out. Iwaki's father took a breath of relief and picked the phone up again to call Masahiro and tell him that he didn't need to come anymore, Katou bowed to the elderly man and said his thanks and left the house for Tokyo.
