There were two agreements I made with Akemi when I was friends in elementary school. First of all, if he gets a first-class ranking, I have to carry him around the field ten times. Second, if she gets a one-seater ranking, we will have to get married in the future.
At the time, I had no idea what marriage was. Too take it lightly. However, Akemi seemed to take that as a serious matter.
After I found out that Akemi was the girl I helped in elementary school, I immediately remembered our promises back then. I immediately remembered the day Akemi said she wanted to be my wife in the future, and I said yes.
I thought Akemi had forgotten that promise because she never talked about it. However, this afternoon, he suddenly invited me to meet at the Banana Chips cafe. He said he wanted to make a second promise.
My feelings are mixed. Since I first met, I was already interested in Akemi, but never once imagined to be her partner. I know my capacity, there's no way an ordinary person like me can be her lover.
Unexpectedly, the situation actually supported me. Akemi turns out to be the girl who promised to marry me in the future. I'm happy, and it's hard to resist.
"When did you arrive? I've been waiting a long time, huh."
Akemi sent me a message.
"Yes, we'll be here soon."
I immediately ordered a spaghetti and durian milkshake, and took it to the second floor where Akemi sat.
"Sorry, wait a long time." I put my order on the table.
"Yes, it's okay."
When I saw Akemi's order, she ordered the same food. Spaghetti and durian milkshakes.
I don't know why he didn't look surprised. As already know that our order will be exactly the same. He didn't react to anything.
"Hee, our orders are the same. You can predict my order, huh?" my spoken.
"Every time I come here I always order this, really."
"I don't think you like durian milkshakes, even though Japanese people usually hate them."
"Yes, most who order this drink is not Japanese, but southeast asians. The owner of this cafe is Thai, so this menu can exist."
"Oh, yeah."
I can't focus on listening to her words. I was focusing on seeing Akemi's unusual appearance. Today she wears a hairpin, free shirt, as well as a cute pink skirt. It's like an outfit for dating.
Oh, shit, she's really pretty.
"Erza, I'd like to collect our promise right now. The second promise." He looked seriously at me.
"Second promise, yes. Honestly I forgot, which one is it?"
"Don't pretend to forget, Erza. I know you remember."
"No, I totally forgot. Let's say it quickly, Akemi."
He seemed unhappy because I forgot his promise. He pouted, and closed his eyes.
"Alright, I'll say our second promise now."
I swallowed spit.
"Erza.. feed me this spaghetti to the end."
...
"Huh? That promise, huh?" my many.
"Yes. The promise is that if I get a one-year ranking, you'll feed me sphagetti until it's over. That's the promise, Erza."
"Eh. I see, yes."
I don't know why, I'm a little disappointed.
"Is that really his promise? Which one else is it?"
"Yes, yes, that's it, sorry, I forgot."
Ah, shit, I'm so embarrassed for expecting that. Was my memory wrong, huh?
"Come on, quick bribe me, Erza." Akemi glanced at her spaghetti plate on the table.
"Akemi.. are you serious? There are a lot of people here, you know."
"Indeed why? Come fast!"
I looked at his face carefully. Is this really the girl in front of me Akemi? He should be quiet and not talk much. Why is it suddenly so aggressive?
"All right."
I wrapped around the spaghetti with a fork, then pointed it at Akemi's mouth.
Hand trembling.
"Again," he said flatly, not looking at all embarrassed.
Akemi ate it again.
"Again."
Some people started looking at us. Akemi's expression still hasn't changed. He stared at his phone screen with a bored face.
Really, isn't he embarrassed?
"Erza, let's hurry, where's the feed?"
"L-yes...."
In the end, I didn't eat my own spaghetti. I just feed Akemi until the food runs out.
"Well, it turns out that eating bribed tastes better," he said.
"My hands are sore."
"Ahaha, sorry, sorry. Please, you can eat yours now."
I also ate my own food after feeding Akemi for a few minutes. That was really embarrassing.
"Anu, just continue eating, but please listen to my story."
"Yes." Yeah."
"So, Erza, I'd like to ask. If your ex-boyfriend was dating our classmate. What would you feel?"
A rather heavy question.
"Lying if I don't feel anything. Must be a little bit sick."
"Then, how about this. You have a girlfriend that you love so much, and then without saying break up, she's suddenly dating your classmates. What are you gonna feel?"
"If it were, it would hurt even more."
"If your boyfriend suddenly forgets you, and even dates your classmates how?"
"If that. wait. Don't-don't, Lev?"
"true."
After that, Akemi told me that the 1-E class students who often come to class to meet Hide, turned out to be Lev's girlfriend who is amnesiac.
Hearing that, I suddenly lost my appetite. I can't imagine how painful it is to be Lev.
Perhaps the reason he never received a courting invitation from another girl, could be because he is still tied to his old girlfriend.
"Erza, let's help Lev. I know what it's like to keep the pain alone in class. I want you to help Lev like you used to help me. Come on, let's help him together."
Akemi looked at me seriously. I also want to help him. But, how is it?
"Would we tell Hide that Inami is actually Lev's old girlfriend? Problems like this, we can't interfere. Must be resolved by the person concerned," I said.
"I think so too. Just tell Inami-san that she used to be Lev's girlfriend. Didn't mean to ask Inami back at Lev. Just asking him to ask Lev to break up so Lev can calm down."
I'm nodding.
"Then, let's meet Hide and Inami tomorrow. We'll tell them both the truth."
"Yes." Yeah."
If it's in Hide's position, I definitely wouldn't feel comfortable knowing that my boyfriend is Lev's amnesiac girlfriend. However, I would feel even more uncomfortable if I did not know something as important as this. I'm gonna feel guilty for Lev.
Therefore, problems like this, rather than being immersed and kept secret, it is better to face it directly even though there will be pain felt later.
At least I want to make Lev feel calm. Want to make Lev hear the word break up from his beloved girlfriend.
"Thank you for telling me, Akemi. I didn't know Inami was her boyfriend, Lev. It's worth it that he always looks stressed during the break."
"Yes, equally. I'll take our third appointment, yeah."
"Huh? Does it exist?!"
"There!"
"What's the promise?"
"I won't tell you now. Just go ahead."
"All right...."
Did we really make a third appointment? The second promise I don't remember. Is it okay for Akemi to make a promise to be able to tell me as she pleased?
Ah, it's impossible. Akemi won't make up lies to take advantage of others.
