Chapter 9

"Encounter"

...you're worthless...

Jehu's POV

"...yeah screw it all..." I cursed the air then sneezed

Johan sighed "oh you oniisan... you shouldn't have went out in the rain"

"Like heck I'll be able to stay still...with Haou somewhere out there for a whole week straight! And now it's going to be the second!" I complained then sneezed again...

"I'm sure Haou-san's somewhere safe...don't worry"

I sighed and just dropped my back down on the bed; Johan placed a towel on my head...

I kept on sighing...until I finally fell into a catnap...but then I woke up after 15 minutes or so...and then again it's because of my bladder...

I stood up and my head felt so heavy...I had to support myself on the wall. I shook my head slowly and rubbed my eyes as I walked carefully downstairs to the restroom...after that...I was going back up but I stopped when I saw Judai on the other hallway holding the telephone...I watched him in curiosity

...then he grinned happily...

"Chocolate!"

My eyes widen in surprised...and I felt like the wobbling of my head decreased...I hurriedly walked toward the young brunette and did hand signals...and asked what's Haou's saying...he raised a hand, telling me to wait...

"Chocolate when will you come home?...U-hm...U-hm...I see...Chocolate will you bring cookies when you come back?...YAY oh and Chocolate...just a sec"

Judai smiled and handed me the phone...I quickly took it...but slowly placed it on my ears

"...Haou..."

...I didn't get any reply and he hanged up...

I looked at the phone...and I felt my heart shredding into pieces...my knees went numb and lowered down, with the phone on my lips...Johan approached me since he came when he heard Judai shouted his brother's pet name. He knelt down and rubbed my back

"Oniisan...I'ts gonna be ok..." he smiled sadly...

"Judai..." I raised my head with my cheeks red in pain

He stared at me innocently "hmm?"

"Where's Haou?"

"hmmm...Chocolate...just said he was on a friend's place and that he's safe"

"...I see"

...

Classes were resumed...because the storm weakened and it completely left 5 days ago but...before it completely left...every after class I hurriedly go out and try my luck to find Haou...but everything was in vain...I didn't find a single trace of him nor he went to school which made me worried sick...I went to his department every morning and every break time to check if he finally came...I asked his friends if there were any sight of him, but they were also worried about him since he haven't attended for days... then wasn't able to go to attend class for 3 days, since I've been damn sick...

After I finally recovered...I went to class... and as usual...I went to his department to check

I knocked the door and they opened it... "...hey...have Haou came...?" I asked in a hopeless voice...since I knew he won't be there again

"...hey pal! He attended for 2 days! Didn't you know? But he's probably absent again..."

My eyes widened it shock "W-what! Where is he now?"

"he doesn't reply when we ask him...how come you don't know. Aren't you two together?"

...I just remained silent and left

'...did he know I was sick...that's why he came?' I thought negatively

...

The next day...I was on my way to school...miserable...

I knew Haou won't be showing up again and it's all my fault...but I still took my chance...I went to his homeroom again and knocked...and then again it was opened for me...but...

I froze...

A pair of voided golden orbs...met face to face with me

...I felt hot tears behind my eyes, and my chest quickly tightened again...

"...H-Haou..."

He turned away and walked back toward his desk...I walked slowly as I tried to follow him...Then the both of us paused when we heard them...

"Hey you two? Do you have LQ (lover's quarrel) hahaha" one of the students playfully spoke...they knew we were together and we have a fight-like love...but they don't know...this time its different...

They giggled but...their laugh was killed when Haou spoke...

"...were not lovers any longer..." he said coldly as he approached his desk...

"...Haou...can we please talk..." I begged softly

"Classes are going to start soon, go back to your department" ...he said blankly as he organize his stuffs

"...Haou..."

The other students...went quiet...since they did realize we weren't having an ordinary fight...

I wanted to burst out crying...but I couldn't...I know I will put Haou in shame if I start begging infront of people...

I quietly left the room...thinking about talking to him later...

...

During our class...

My head was completely empty...I stared at nowhere...and without realizing...I was already in tears... The teacher kept on calling me but I was captivated in lost...everyone was staring at me...and I would haven't woken up if my friend, Atticus, hasn't tapped me

"...dude you're crying..."

I snapped with my eyes wide opened and touched my face, I sniffled and immediately wiped my face with my sleeve...

"...are you alright dude?"

"...ye-yeah I'm fine...I'm fine..." I lied

Everyone still stared at me... specially that bitch... I wanted to kill her! ...But... It is also my fault...I fell for her traps...damn...I wish I can bring back time...

...how will...what will...what should I tell Haou... I have no idea...

...

The bell rang...and I didn't even learn anything...its lunch time, I have no appetite...I walked slowly in the corridors, clutching my fist... getting ready on whatever the circumstances will be...

...and...there...at the side of the table...I saw him

My body won't budge; my eyes just stared at him as he slowly ate...

I was still for a long time...just standing there from afar... until...

"DUDE! YO!" a loud happy voice from my back at the same time...a heavy tap that caused me to outbalance

"eeek!" he pulled my collar and didn't let me fall

I turned my head " Atticus! What the..."

"SHHHH!" he pulled me out of the cafeteria and we stayed infront of the entrance...

"...h-huh...?"

He looked at Haou...then back at me

"...I heard the two of you split up"

"..."

"...is it...true?"

"...y-yeah..."

I couldn't help not to confess...it sucks...he sighed

"Dude... don't worry I'm sure you two will be together again...just...try to you know...take him back"

I turned my head and gazed at Haou with a lonely look...and looked back at my friend

"...I'll try"

"don't try!"

"huh...?"

"...do it until you die" he supported "not just try..." he's eyes shining

"...Atti-"
"SHHUUSSHH! You still love him right!"

"afcourse!"

"THEN TAKE HIM BACK!" clutching his hand near to my face with his aura in a burning passion

He woke me up...

"Y-YES!... But...what should I do..." my spirit died down again

"I don't know the reason why the two of you broke up...but if there was something terrible that caused it...be the one to take the first step to apologize whether you did the harm or if he did"

"...I cheated on him" I confessed directly

"...dude..."

We went into silence for a while...then he sighed heavily, but looked back at me

"...listen"

"..."

"...I guess you are in a hard case..."

"yeah..."

"let him cool down for a bit...I'm sure he's upset"

I nodded slowly

"then...do everything you can to have him back..Everything...you got it?"

"...everything?"

"yeah...If you really want him back badly then do everything...like begging kneeling or whatever"

"what! Kneel? NO WAY"

"...well...it will depend if he would forgive you easily...show him you are really sorry and that you won't do it again...make him see your speaking of the truth"

"...alright"

He patted my shoulder "well pal I'll be on my way...Good luck!"

"...ok"

'...Atticus sure do know a lot of stuffs about this' I thought

Haou: ur still full of pride .

Jehu: xDDD
