A Thousand Stories: A New Story

"Fuckin' shit!" he murmured when entering the yard of the house that looked not so well taken care of it.

Most of the yard grew shrubs that spread and covered the entire yard. While for each side of the new building is still left behind a little plant that looks fresh due to rain. Without a second thought, the girl entered the house. Choose the building that became his room first.

On the front porch, he hung the jacket that had been given by his grandfather and grandmother who helped him on the ramp.

"Tomorrow could surely meet to return the money." he muttered which immediately entered the room on the building.

Unlike the outside that looks not so well managed, the inside of the building is still as neat as the last time he remembered it. Especially when he tried to turn on the room lights. It turned out that the light was well lit and still as bright as the light in his room first.

"Is this one of my luck too!"

He smiled with relief when he found that some of the clothes in his dress were still intact and decent to wear. Even the clothes don't smell bad. Like all clothes it has been well cared for and taken care of by someone.

After changing her clothes and drying her hair, the girl held onto her rumbling belly. He looked out of his yard. Seeing no lights on the outside courtyard, he turned to the jacket he had been wearing. Given that there was money in the jacket pocket, he apologized for first using the money to buy food at the restaurant he had passed.

"Tomorrow I'll change!" said it.

He immediately ran out of the courtyard of the house. Turn towards the restaurant he remembered and stopped his steps when he still found the white car was still parked there. He lifted his jacket collar up high. Covering part of his face and leaving only part of his eyes. The hat covered her hair and forehead.

"Welcome!" greet a girl his age. He greeted the girl kindly. "Let's go in. What do you want to order?"

The girl's a little clumsy. But again stepped calmly after the attention of the driver of the car that had been pointed at him, now no longer looked at him.

"Sorry, what message would you like?" ask the girl in front of him.

He took out a note from his jacket pocket. Handed two of the three pieces of money to the girl and pointed to a menu written in front of her.

"Egg fried rice, huh?" reworked.

The girl gave a small nod and still hid part of her face behind the neck of her high jacket.

"good. Please wait there yah!"

Back the little nod that the girl got. Turned around with a confused face, he ignored the behavior of the girl before him and passed to the kitchen to convey the order to the kitchen chef and came back again to greet the girl who was now bowed facing towards the room aligning her sitting position with the young man opposite dime.

"Eren! Let's eat!"

The girl before Eren who was none other than Rein, fed Eren food from his spoon. Making the girl smile happily while taking the spoon for her to use scooping other food in front of her.

"I can do it myself..."

Eren, who seemed to be disturbed by the atmosphere around him, took the spoon out of Rein's hand. He was eager to take a good look at the other girl who was now sitting facing the inside of the restaurant. Although their position was parallel, it even made Eren feel more like he wanted to see the girl well. The same girl who had seized her mind when she was about to enter this restaurant just a moment ago.

I feel like I recognize him.... Is he the same person? eren's mind as soon as the spoon fell out of his hand.

"Where do you think he is?! Something bothering you?" Rein pulled Eren's hand to focus on him.

"Not so," he answered flatly. "It looks like my hands are a little cold and I'm daydreaming about how this place was 4 years ago" he replied involuntarily.

"How was this place 4 years ago!"

"What?"

Eren suddenly really showed his gaze to the figure of the girl in front of him. The girl was still engrossed in the food and cell phone she was playing on her left hand.

Baras had never been seen smiling like that all this time!!

"Please! The food is ready."

The girl who owns the restaurant serves the girl's order egg fried rice on the opposite table. For a moment it shifted Eren's gaze towards the side. Then look around when the girl is about to lower the collar of her jacket which she raises high.

"May I have a glass of water!" her door.

The restaurant owner girl hit her forehead for a moment then rushed to take a bottle of mineral water into the order of the girl at the table.

"Oh, sorry dad! Here's the drink!"

Serving drinks next to his order fried rice, the restaurant owner girl then returned to the back of the order table that divided the restaurant section into two different sides of the function.

The girl on the desk lowered her jacket collar slightly. Making the girl the owner of the restaurant and Eren look at herself carefully.

"Where are you looking!" Rein stared in annoyance. Grunts and makes Eren stop his curiosity.

In contrast to the stall owner girl who ended up having a small beard after successfully removing her curiosity. He's back at the back. Brew two teas and walk to the girl's table in a high-collared jacket and sit next to her. Obstructing the glance that Eren once again tried to do to dispel his feeling of being annoyed with the figure of the girl.

"It's been out of sight for a long time!" greet the girl who owns the restaurant. "How are you?"

The girl looked up to see the restaurant owner girl who turned out to be her high school friend. Although not very familiar, but he is the son of the owner where he worked to deliver newspapers and milk to his customers in the past in High School.

"Good!" he nodded and continued eating. "How are you?"

"Continue eating, I'll come back for a chat! Enjoy the tea!"

Back was just a nod that the girl who owned the restaurant got. He's back behind the order table. Check the food ordered by Eren and Rein, then take the payment and put the money in the cashier's drawer.

"Will it pass yah?"

Eren nodded. Then Rein directly placed his hand on Eren's arm.

"After this we go to your house?"

"I'd better take you home" replied Eren, taking off the handrails to open the door for Rein.

All the things Eren did for Eren were of particular concern to the girl with the high-collared jacket that covered most of her face. From behind the hat, he sighed slowly. It felt good after the two figures came out of the restaurant.

He faced forward, then took a glass of tea served by the girl who owned the restaurant and drank it out in one gulp.

"Warmly!" the girl smiled innocently.

With a slightly pointed nose that flushed. Bold lashes with large round eyeballs, Eyebrows covered in long haired bangs straight waist, loin, that figure makes the stall owner girl inevitably have to close her restaurant immediately to be able to chat with her peers.

"Where have you been for 3 and a half years?!"

The girl looked up. Staring for a moment then smiling stiffly to hide to his clumsiness.

"I'm going to the next town!" he grinned the horse as he used to when faced with things that were difficult for him to answer.
