CHAPTER 5: WHERE ARE YOU?

Riiko was anxious. She knew that something was wrong. She can feel it... but can't point it out. She had this strong feeling that this sudden meet up with Gaku is somehow connected with Night or – about him.

She ran as fast as she could and when she reached the park… no one's there. She sighed. Maybe it's not that important at all. She thought and started to walk towards her apartment. She went inside her room and lied on her bed. She covered her eyes with her right arm and breathed heavily.

What's wrong with me? I became so worried all of a sudden. I hope nothing's wrong, Night. She heard the entrance door open. She immediately stood up and went outside her room.

"Riiko, what are you doing here? Did Gaku called you too?" A man asked while removing his shoes.

"Yes." she heard him huffed.

"That Gaku… what is he up to?" he asked to no one and was annoyed on how the cosplaying salesman called him while working at the diner.

"Soushi, he told me that there is an emergency." She said.

"I know, he also called me about it but I haven't seen him in the park where we supposed to meet him." He stated. He walked towards the living room and slouched at the couch. He sighed.

"Do you want something to eat or drink?" she offered while searching the refrigerator for something good to eat.

"No thanks." He said while yawning.

"Then you should rest. I'll wait for Gaku." She said.

He was about to enter the room when they heard the doorbell rang. They looked at each other for a while, both hesitating to open the door. They both knew that Gaku was on the other side of it but what's worrying them was the information he was about to tell them.

Soushi studied Riiko for a while, he could see her discomfort. He could also sense that there is something that she was trying to prepare herself about. But what is it? He sighed and started to walk towards the door. From the corners of his eyes, he saw Riiko was about to tell him something but he ignored it.

He stopped in front of the door and held the knob. Before he could turn it, he glanced at her and saw worry in her eyes. "Let's get this over." He said and saw her nod. He opened the door and saw Gaku standing calmly. He gestured for him to enter and he did.

They let him sat on the couch and waited for him to speak.

Gaku stared at them for a while and saw the eagerness and worry in their eyes. It seems that they already know it before I could tell them. He thought. Of course, he wouldn't be here if it wasn't about Night or anything connected to him right? He sighed.

"So… let's cut this short. Riiko-chan, Night - is missing." He said straight forwardly.

She gasped. It can't be. She thought as her heart skipped a beat.

Soushi's eyes widened a bit but regained his composure a few seconds later. He eyed Gaku for a minute and he knew that he was telling the truth. There was silence in the room for a bit, before he decided to break it.

"When did this happen?" she heard Soushi asked.

Yes, when did this happen? Why now? All those years she'd been waiting for him to wake up - but now… he's awake. All she could feel was – pain.

She can't talk, all she can do was to listen to their conversation or – does she really understand what they're talking about?

She can't breathe, her vision is swirling, she could hear the echoes of their voices but she couldn't understand anything they said. All she could hear was the sound that came from her chest. Her heart was pounding hard against it, as if it was trying to break free from her rib cage.

Her eyes were stingy but she can't cry. She... won't cry. She promised Night that she won't cry anymore. She slowly stood up while the two men watch her wobble a bit. They both knew that it was too sudden for her, she can't take it.

She saw the look of sympathy in their eyes but she doesn't need it now. She needs to think… alone. "Excuse me." She whispered loud enough for the two men to hear. They just nodded. She slowly walked towards the balcony and looked at the sky.

Shouldn't she be happy that Night has finally awakened? She should be happy right? She should be searching for him right now, right at this moment, but how come that her feet won't move an inch? Her body was trembling again.

She sighed loudly. Oh god, if it is true. Will Night be able to remember me? That's it. That is what she's afraid of. What if he had forgotten about her after being shut down for 5 years? And –
She gasped. No way! The only way Night will be awakened is… to kiss him.

Her knees weakened. What if someone kissed him? She doesn't want Night to forget about her. What about their daughter? What about her? She'd been waiting for him for too long and this is what she would get for waiting for him?!

What will she tell Sakura? She'd been asking about her father lately. Will she continue to lie about him being busy at work and cannot come home?

A tear fell from her eyes. Her heart was aching and she can't breathe. She gasped for air but it seems like something's stuck in her throat. Please Night, wherever you are. Please come home. I'm waiting for you, we're waiting for you. She thought as she succumbs into darkness.

Riiko cracked her eyes wide open. She slowly looked around and found out that she was in her room. She turned to her left side and covered her face with a pillow. "Thank goodness you're awake." She heard someone said.

She removed the pillow and slowly turned to where the voice came from. She saw Soushi who was standing by the window and Gaku sitting on the other side of the bed. "Soushi, Gaku. What happened? Why am I – " she stooped when she felt a slight stab of pain in her chest.

They both jerked up from their position to know if she was alright and when they sure that she is. They calmed.

"You fainted at the balcony. The doctor told us – " Soushi said before she interrupted him.

"The doctor?" she asked.

"Riiko-chan, you see, Soushi here is so worried about you and actually called a doctor. What a guy." Gaku answered while pointing at him.

Soushi blushed. "Shut up cosplaying salesman! It seems that calling a doctor was a good idea." He stated and Gaku nodded and they both went silent.

She eyed them suspiciously, it is the first time of her life that Gaku didn't answered back, even though Soushi called him a cosplaying salesman. Perhaps he realized that he's a hardcore cosplayer? She thought.

She studied them for a while and noticed that whenever their eyes met with hers, they're looking away. "What are you two hiding?" she asked.

The two men looked at each other and sighed. "Riiko…" Soushi started while rubbing his nape with his palm. He walked towards her and sat on her side of the bed. "The doctor told us that you might have a…" he trailed off.

"Have what Soushi?" she asked while she sat straight up.

Soushi was about to speak when Gaku interrupted him. "It's nothing Riiko-chan. The doctor told us that you must rest a lot. Right, Soushi?" He smiled nervously, brow twitching.

She looked at Soushi and saw him tensed. "Yeah – he's right." He answered and they both chuckled nervously.

She pouted and sighed inwardly. They both get weirder and weirder every day. She thought and lie on the bed again. Her heart was still aching and she doesn't know why. All she knew is that she needed to rest and search for Night when she feels a lot better.

She heard the door opened and then closed. She reached out a hand and grabbed the picture frame that was resting on top of her side table. She stared at it for a while and let the tears escape from her eyes once again. It was their picture, taken 5 years ago before Night shut down. All this time, I've been waiting for you Night.

The pain in her heart is getting worse every time she thinks about Night. How can she forget? He'll always and forever be her Zettai Kareshi. Now, he's alive, she'll find him. She will definitely search for him no matter where he is.

She held the picture close to her chest. Where are you night? She thought and let herself succumb into sleep, thinking about the only person she ever loves.

A/N:

Alas!!
I finally updated!!
I'm very very sorry for the long wait guys....
I have summer classes..
That's why I can't update faster....

By the way....
I also got depressed this past few days/weeks maybe.....
Because.....
My friend told me that one of her classmates tried to read my story but after a few paragraphs...
She stopped reading and told her that she won't read a story with wrong grammars...
Maybe that's one of the reasons I updated my stories slowly....
It's not because of what she said....
But because of not giving my stories a chance....

I know it's a part of being a writer and those things are common..
I'm just being so melodramatic... haha...
But it still hurts and I do not know what to do...
I hope you all understand...

Oh well...
I still have you guys right.....??
I thank you all from the bottom of my heart, for giving me and my stories a chance....

I hope you all like it...

I'm still planning if I shall end this story with 8 or 10 chapters...
It still depends....^^,

On the next chapter....
Riiko will discover something and it won't be good for her daughter and especially her....

Stay tuned....
