Chapter 38 - Waiting for him.

I run until I reach my home. I grab my knees—panting. I take a deep breath to calm myself.

I open the door and walk to the sofa, directly. I fell on the sofa and lost all my energy that had left.

I rub my face into the fluffy sofa—look at the front. I saw Toka was already sitting there and staring at me.

"Hm… something good happened." He smiled.

I sit and glaring at him, "It's none of your business." I state. And go to my room. On my stairs I remember the Minato's on another guy. 

My mind is confused and jealous at the same time. 

I grab my hair in frustration and go to my room without any thought. I open my door.

*CLACK*

I walk in; And jump on my bed—taking my phone out from the pocket.

And start scrolling reels to refresh my mind—and stop thinking about that guy and Minato.

"..." Scrolling.

Scrolling… Scrolling… Scrolling… 

I throw the phone on the bed in frustration, "Why can't I stop thinking." I grabbed my hair. I lean more on the bed; Grabbing my favourite pillow into my face—smelling. 

I smile, "So refreshing to just sleep without any care in the world." 

"I need someone to accompany me." I frowned. I look down and look up, "Ya… I just need to ask him that all."

I patted myself on the head, "I am a genius." A weird smile forming.

I stood suddenly. I hang up in a rage of determination.

I get out of the room—head toward Minato's room.

*KNOCK* *KNOCK* Politely—waiting.

But on the other side—silence….

I start knocking—impatiently. Suddenly I heard footsteps coming toward me. I looked behind and it was Toka.

I glare; He looked at me—anger was visible in his eyes without a word.

"What are you doing?" He calmly said.

I huff and ignore.

He smiled, "Ah~! He's not even come." He mocks me.

I look at him and go nearer—grabbing his collar, "Why are you acting superior to me."

He smiles, "Because I am."

I push him. He cleans the area where I touch him. He turn; Left.

I go to the terrace. To confirm that Minato is not at home. I saw there is no trace of his shoes—means he's really not.

I go down and sit on the sofa while grabbing the remote of the T.V.

Turn on*

Then I just stared at T.V. watching dramas. After 2 hours, Suddenly;

S - c - r - a -w - l 

My stomach groans—asking for food. I sigh; Stand up and go toward the kitchen, take out some snacks from the drawer and come back quickly with a plate full of snacks in it. 

I again start watching movies—and eating my snacks. 

After 1 hour. 

The drama was playing on the T.V. Sunlight becomes darker as time. 

["You said you love." A woman was crying while grabbing the male's leg.]

[He pushed her away, "YOUUU… BITCH." He glared at her.]

["Please stop playing with my heart." His voice was barely audible, tears were forming in his eyes.]

[He smiles, "I hate you." He announced. The red-haired woman freezed. 

["What the hell are you talking about? You love me, please stop joking… right." She snapped back in anger.]

[~~~~~~~~] [~~~~~~~] 

[~~~~~~]

[End… the theme song starts to sing—echoing in the hall.] [Flashing names of actors , producers, etc.]

Turn off*

I lean on the sofa—looking upward; Sighing in exhaustion. I stretch my arms and yawn. 

"What's that?" I look around for a watch.

The only thing I can see is 6:30 pm. My eyes became wide—in shock. I waste so many hours thinking Minato would come any moment but not. 

When he is going to enter the home, I cover my face with my palms. I stand and take my finished plate and go to the kitchen to place it in the sink. 

After putting the plate in the sink—I look back again, staring at the watch. When is he going to come…—it's getting late.

I sit again on the sofa. Slowly leaning, and closing my eyes—exhaustion of waiting. I smiled and fell asleep.

<< 1 hour later>>

My breath was steady—evening became night. Curtains were blowing because of the cold wind by the open window. The atmosphere was calm and cold, the room was dark, only dim light was lighting. 

Suddenly… I hear the sound of the door opening. 

My eyes open in terror but I don't have the strength to sit. I slowly sat while picking at the person and that was Minato.

He was silently going to his room—I sigh while grabbing my chest cloth. It was just Minato.

I look at the watch—8:00 pm.

Why does he come so late? I think he always comes early or at 7:30 pm. I turned on the T.V. and began to watch drama—to waste time. 

After 5 minutes. I got bored and yawned, "Let's just sleep." I mumble.

I stand; walking toward the stair in sleepy eyes. I rushed to my room and jumped on the bed; I closed my eyes. 

"Good night." I mumble.

Suddenly.. CLICK… Minato… Ya I am going to ask him something right but what… Hmm… let's ask him tomorrow I yawn and fall asleep.

TO BE CONTINUED.
