Chapter 04: The beginning of everything

….

Eli waited impatiently in the apartment for Nozomi's return from work. She called her cellphone again but it gone unanswered. She told herself that Nozomi is probably busy with her work and all since her clients are tend to be picky and all…. What makes this worse is that it is Sunday, Eli herself had her day off, and this day marked , God knows how long of their dating anniversary.

Nozomi eventually returned home but in kind of an inconvenient time. A yawn escaped Nozomi's mouth and eventually, waking Eli up who had been taking her nap to wait for the purple haired girl's return.

The older girl spotted the blonde looking slightly angry at her before her expression became angrier at the smell of certain unpleasant scent of alcohol.

"Again…. With the alcohol, Nozomi…?" Said the blonde with a deeper frown and her mouth curved downwards even more. The other girl only gave her a drunk smile before she walked to their room staggeringly, opening up the wardrobe and starts to, well, throwing her own clothes out. "What are you doing? Where are you planned to go, Nozomi?" The said girl looked over the wardrobe door lazily towards the blonde before she smiled again. "Over time….. Elichi….. I need to….. stay at—"

"STAY WHERE!?" The blonde yelled before the purple haired girl manage to register the strange change of event into her drunken mind. "ISN'T THIS WHERE YOU SUPPOSED TO STAY, NOZOMI!? TELL ME YOU ARE NOT DOING SOMETHING BEHIND MY BACK!" The rage releasing by the blonde is clearly felt for the purple haired girl and she almost instantly snapped herself back. "W.. what..? I said I am staying for….. over time… I…" Another yawn escaped from her mouth before she faced the scariest side of Eli that moment.

"OUT THEN! DON'T YOU EVER COME BACK IF YOU DECIDED TO STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE RATHER THAN YOUR OWN HOME!" Eli quickly picked up all the clothes Nozomi had been throwing out on the bed and stuffed them all into a luggage. A hint of horror can be seen in the eyes of the older girl and she wanted to quickly apologise to the blonde. Though, she still doesn't understand why Eli had been acted kind of negative towards her lately.

"Elichi why….."

"BECAUSE YOU WERE ALWAYS LIKE THIS EVERY NIGHT! DID YOU FORGET WHAT DAY IS TODAY?! OUR ANNIVERSARY! I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU CAN FORGET IT AGAIN THIS YEAR!" The blonde's face was all red when she's done yelling.

"Does… that mean… Elichi doesn't trust me…?" Nozomi said with a face full of hurt. It truly hurt her, those words full of distrust stabbed her heart like burning arrows. How can Eli not trust her? She has been staying at her working place just so she could finish her piling work as fast as possible. It's been hell since her studio had gained a lot of recommendations from various photograph enthusiasts.

Other than that, of course, she also gained a lot of new clients, making her work busier than ever. She doesn't even have the time to spend as much time as she wanted with Eli the moment her studio work started to get busy.

Nozomi thought Eli would understand her situation well, but it seems like what she did right now had greatly pissed off the blonde. The older girl wished to let the other girl know how busy it gets especially now is the so called wedding season.

"Elichi…. I'm sorry…. But…. The studio had been really busy lately…. I still have… a… lot of work to do…." Nozomi looked down to the floor before Eli pushed the luggage towards her roughly.

"You always said that…. Yet, all I see was that you coming back either drunk or started to pack and not coming back until the morning…. What kind of workload required you to pour this much dedication? That studio isn't even yours to begin with!" Eli yelled out the last part, significantly hurting the purple haired girl even more.

After a while of silence, Nozomi decided that she had enough. She cannot believe Eli is not that understanding. Maybe it's because of work stress? But even so, she should have told her how stressed she was, right? But then again, Eli couldn't because Nozomi herself is also really busy with her own work in the studio.

"If you couldn't trust me even after we've been together for so long, then so be it….." Nozomi said in all serious and cold tone. "You never understand how I worked so hard for something I like to do…."

"I never understand? Who said I never understand how you work so hard for that studio? You never told me much what have you been up to so late in the night and with those alcohol and all that?! I don't get it, Nozomi! I thought after we're living together we will have more time to spend with each other without letting work to consume all of the time that we could spend together!"

All those words…..hurt her even further with all the rage within them…. Her lover doesn't trust her anymore…. She didn't even want to understand how her everyday work had been a war so her boss could eventually, hand the studio to her. When that happens, she would own the studio because her boss is single and is fighting for his untreatable illness. She promised him that she would work hard for the studio until he would close the studio for good. Seeing how determined the purple haired girl looked when she made her promise to the old man, he decided to give the whole studio to the said girl after he passed away.

Now, she's the sole owner of the studio and is constantly fighting over other photography studios in terms of quality and speed. Clearly, Nozomi's studio had made excellent satisfaction to her clients and soon gained recognition from more people. Of course, that will resulting her to sacrifice something she isn't aware of, her time with Eli. She would sometimes go out to have a few drinks with her client or even stay the night in the studio. The older girl still haven't told the blonde she had officially owned the studio since Eli is also suffering constant stress from her own work.

Nozomi did not want to argue with the blonde and decided to run away from reality, in hope that the blonde will truly understand her one day.

"It's been wonderful… Eli….. I wish you all the best on your future girlfriend if you found one…" With that, Nozomi slowly dragged her luggage towards the front door.

Eli, who had been silent after her raging words did not even look at the purple haired girl nor being surprised about how Nozomi had called her differently. She had been consumed by her own rage to the point that she couldn't think rationally.

She heard the purple haired girl said her farewell before the front door closed. Eli swore that was her worse day ever.

The blonde also started to pack up clothes before she went to find her close friend and also coworker, Yazawa Nico….

….

Eli is probably thinking the same thing as Nozomi because she felt the arms that circled around her tightened. The blonde slowly pulled away from the warm embrace and looked at Nozomi in the eyes apologetically. Tear trails are visible at both of their faces. The taller girl proceed to wipe those tears from Nozomi and the other did the same to her. They both shared a long and soft kiss before Eli started to spoke up.

"I heard everything from Nico…. I am truly sorry about that night, Nozomi…. I truly am….. I should not have said all those hateful words that came from my own frustration…." Eli looked away shamefully before she felt Nozomi buried her face into her breasts. "It's okay, Elichi….. I said you will understand one day, right?" Eli nodded her head slowly in agreement.

They both looked at each other's eyes again and a smile crossed both faces. "My cards told me my life will get two big changes…. One was that night…. And one is today…." The purple haired girl's smile turned into a smirk and Eli looked at her with a questionable expression.

"If you're talking about what we did just now is a big change in your life, then… okay… I guess…?" The blonde scratched the back of her head confusingly.

"Mou! Of course not, Elichi!" Nozomi pouted before Eli let out a laugh. "I was only kidding… Of course I wouldn't consider something like that as a 'big change' in your life…." The blonde snuggled against Nozomi, both noses touching before the taller girl seemingly pulled something out behind her.

"Nozomi…" Eli suddenly moved away from the other girl and out of the bed. She got down on one knee and held up the little box in front of them.

She opened the box slowly and a gasp could be heard as Nozomi's eyes staring widely into whatever's inside the box.

"Will you marry me…. Nozomi..?" Eli said with a warm expression and looking at the other girl expectantly. The purple haired girl shifted her eyes away before a blush grew on her face, confused, Eli opened her mouth and asked the other girl.

"What's wrong, Nozomi? You don't like it?" Nozomi shook her head before she pouted slightly and turned to look at Eli while nodding slowly at the same time.

"Jeez, Elichi! Why in the world you proposed to someone when both parties are naked!?" Frowning slightly, Eli allowed those words to sink into her mind before she stood up, all red on the face.

"Ah, damn! Now that you've mentioned—" Before she could finish, Nozomi launched herself towards the blonde and held onto her tightly while giggling to herself. "Silly Elichi…. You're still being dorky to certain details I see? I thought you're a perfectionist who planned things carefully~" The older girl giggled.

"Mou…. Nozomi…. Don't laugh at me, please…. I just thought this is the time where I have to…. You know…." Eli shifted her eyes away from the other girl. Nozomi smiled and kissed the blonde lovingly.

"Silly Elichi…. I was only teasing you, you know?" Nozomi teased before she starts to distance herself away from the blonde.

"Nozomi!" Eli shouted before Nozomi started to ran out of the room and the chase began once more while thanking that one girl in their mind.

"Thank you, Nicochi…."
"Thank you, Nico…."
