Chapter 2: Burning Rage of Jealousy
It was late of the evening but still no sign of Neuro getting back to the office. I felt very uneasy with the situation neither with Godai-san. We both stared at the door waiting that door will be opened by Neuro but no even a sign of it. At last, Godai-san spoke.
"That bastard, where is he? I cannot wait any longer. Yako! Give me your cell phone! I want to call him." Surely I was shocked with Godai-san statement but still I gave him my phone. But before Godai-san could even dialed the phone, the door went opened and there stood Neuro grinning. Seeing Neuro, Godai-san quickly stopped the dialing. I stood up and asked Neuro where he had been this while. Neuro neither spoke nor looked at me. I asked him again with a serious tone in my voice. Yet, he still didn't bother to listen. Sure, my blood had raised high enough for me to even start to yell at him but before I could do that, Neuro entered the room silently without bother to speak. I was eventually wanted to go right in front of him but suddenly heard a voice. A teenager's voice just outside of the office. I went to the door and opened it and shocked to find a girl with a messy hair and heaved a heavy breath as if she had been chasing somebody. Then I looked at Neuro but still he didn't even look at the girl. I heaved a long sighed. But before I could turn around, the girl dashed towards Neuro who was sitting at the sofa. I was rather a bit shocked with the girl attitude even Godai-san gave a weird look.
The girl stood stiffly in front of Neuro but she didn't say anything yet. Her gaze was totally locked with Neuro's figure. Neuro also didn't say anything to her. I felt a little uneasy with the situation because the girl's eyes didn't move a second from Neuro. I felt a slight of heavy feeling inside me and tried to ignore it but to no avail. Then something happened. The girl began to speak but as if she tried to prevent tears coming out from her eyes.
"It is exactly the same. Those eyes, the figure, the hair, the face and the voice are actually the same. I cannot believe this. Is it really true?"The girl spoke. She closed her mouth and her hands were trembling very hard as if she held a long of despair. I was watching from afar so did Godai-san. We dare not to disturb the situation. Then without any warning, the girl eventually ran and hugs Neuro with all her might. I was shocked and nearly screamed while Godai-san opened his mouth wide enough for the shocking event. As for Neuro, he just back offs a bit. The girl seemed didn't want to let Neuro go and her grip seemed to be tighter. I felt like some kind of a heavy rock inside my heart and my legs were trembling as I looked at the situation. Stupid Neuro, why don't you move away or at least try to loosen up the grip. My heart was full with agony as I watched how the girl reacted. The girl then spoke slowly but still heard by us.
"At last, I found you, Athen. Long lost time, I have been waiting for you. You eventually come back. You keep your promise towards me. I never look at anyone else as you always are inside my heart. Don't leave me again, Athen. I don't want to lose you one more time. Please…" the girl eventually cried at one Neuro's broad shoulder. Neuro was neither responded the cry or tried to comfort her as he knew it that the girl had mistaken him for someone else and it was not his nature to be good.
