Letting You Go
By Zenshiki
Chapter 7
—Normal POV—
"Gah! I'm so stupid! I shouldn't ask her about it! mou..why is this happening to me?"
Natsuki is sitting on her bed with a bottle of beer in her hand. She was so desperate to talk with Shizuru, but the Kyoto woman won't even want to talk to her. Tears are now flowing freely in her reddish cheeks. She's in her middle of her misery when her phone suddenly rings.
"Of all time, why now? Who the hell is this calling me in this late of an hour?"
She grabbed her phone but the caller is unknown so just answered out of habit.
"What the hell do you want?"
"Natsuki…"
"…"
"…"
"Shizuru?"
"Mou Shizuru, why did you leave me? You should've told me that you're leaving so that I can accompany you back home."
Takeda is currently in Shizuru's room the next day, asking the woman for some explanations.
"Takeda-san I felt sick last night and I see that you're enjoying yourself so I just left, sorry for my rudeness. So now, can you please leave me alone for a bit so that I can rest?"
"Oh. Okay, just call me if you need something, alright?"
"Ookini."
The red eyed woman lies in her bed all day, reflecting all the things happened in the past 6 years and her encounter with Natsuki last night. She decided to leave her Natsuki, but she can't accept it at the same time.
"I still love you, Natsuki… My love never changed…but… I don't deserve you."
Her mobile phone suddenly rings, she ignored it but the caller is persistent and she got annoyed with it.
"Ara, this person doesn't know how bad my day was."
She gets her phone and was quite surprised that her caller is unknown. She picked it up and recognized the voice on the opposite line.
"What a pleasant surprise. So may I know why are you calling me?"
