Jakarta - Tokyo Love Story
41. Hot Night

Morning in a sunny spring...

At eight o'clock past thirty Tokyo time, Edo awoke fully conscious. Seira was still sleeping beside him.

Edo moved as slowly as possible so that Seira did not wake up, but still Seira was very sensitive to the movement of the awakened as well.

"What time, Do?" seira asked while rubbing her eyes.

Yes, after the hot night they had been through last night, Seira seemed to be acting normal. There's no awkwardness at all.

Meanwhile, Edo was another reaction. He was a bit confused and confused by all this. Moreover, now he realized that his clothes were not complete he was wearing again. They just slept last night.

"Now nine o'clock is less. I have 10 o'clock classes on campus" replied Edo.

Seira yawned gracefully. His hand stretched to the side. He seemed to stretch his muscles. Edo glanced and admitted inwardly, willing to be without makeup like when he woke up like this, Seira remained perfect. She's beautiful. He clearly admitted it.

"OKAY. Looks like we should take a shower. I also have class at 10. We went to college together. Okay?" Seira immediately removed the blanket from her body which was certainly not fully dressed. Edo.

Aghhh!

Okay, last night he'd seen it all. But it still felt strange to see a girl waking up next to him in this state.

Edo knew he had taken a step too far. Yes, he knew after last night his relationship with Seira had become different.

"Do? Would you like to shower?" Seira asked in a half-tempting tone.

"Ng-no. You go first." Edo answered nervously.

Seira laughs. But instead of going straight away, he instead walked towards Edo and whispered something in his ear.

"It's okay. Don't worry about anything. And don't be so awkward with me. Okay?"

Then after whispering that ambiguous sentence Seira stepped with her legs up to the bathroom.

Edo was still sitting on the bed. Head's dizzy.

Okay, then what now? He asked himself and found no answer. Last night he felt like he was getting an impingement. But now it feels empty.

In Edo's mind last night, if he can make Seira subjugated to him, then he's no less-less very. Kalula could be with Edward now. Edward is rich, handsome, and his future must be bright. Edo felt worthy that he also got Seira. Seira is beautiful, cool, and no less rich.

Last night he was happy and felt victorious, but this morning after the heat had passed, Edo's head thought of another name: Kalula.

He put his cell phone on that bed. He remembers last night when Seira broke down and conquered him, his phone thrown into the bed.

Nah! Meet me!

Edo unlocks the screen and hopes to find a message notification from Kalula. Either Kalula greeted him or just said good morning. But the message did not exist. Kalula is no longer his girlfriend. Edo felt more and more empty.

But unexpectedly, Erina sent him a message. A very long message.

We're friends, Do. At least we still think you are. What are you hiding? Our same story. Don't skip class again, because you missed yesterday.

I had breakfast at the usual place. Ajeng made breakfast. I also told Yuki San to break down your door if you don't leave the room by noon." ]]

Edo pinched his head as he read the message. He then called the landlady who runs the dorm he lives in.

With Japanese still a bit stammered Edo tried to explain that he locked the door from the outside when he left last night. He said he was staying at a friend's house.

Yuki San was relieved. Edo apologized once again and asked the middle-aged woman not to harass him.

After hanging up the phone Edo was somewhat brooding as well. Judging from Yuki San's usual response means that Beni who he made battered last night did not report the quarrel.

Ah, thank goodness. Edo certainly knows that if Beni reports, Yuki San can continue his report to the scholarship sponsor. One of the points of the scholarship agreement is that in addition to the decent value according to their standards, the scholarship recipients must behave well as well.

To punch a friend himself even though it has not even been even a month in Tokyo is an act of breaking the agreement. Edo knows that.

He felt a bit calm. This means that the position is still safe. Beni and Aldo also did not tell anyone about his cheating got the excuse. Edo knew they were silent because Erina did not discuss this matter.

"Who's calling, Do?" Seira was already in front of her with a kimono towel wrapped around her body.

Edo stuttered. "Mmm, hostel manager. He thinks I'm locked in the room. I explained that I was staying at a friend's place." Edo scratched his non-itchy head. It's just misbehavior.

"Oh, friend's place. Okay. So we're just friends?" seira asked while throwing a clean white towel into Edo's lap.

Edo caught the towel and his face looked panicked.

If Seira doesn't want to be considered a friend, then what does she want? Yes, hell last night has gone as far as to be considered a friend. But they've only known for a few weeks...

Edo looked down, pretending to be busy with the towel. He was just trying to avoid Seira's eyes.

Seira chuckled as if to find Edo funny. He then walked to the dresser. Really, Seira's response made Edo a little confused as well.

"Do not be surprised. I know we're going too fast. But I'm comfortable with you. Consider us friends with benefits. You also just broke up from Kalula. Slowly we go through this. Okay?" Seira glanced at Edo from the mirror reflection of her dresser.

Edo who noticed the gaze nodded awkwardly at his own reflection in the mirror.

"Y-yes. Me, um I took a shower, yeah. Afraid of being late for college." Edo answered quickly and avoided going to the bathroom.

Seira smiled seeing Edo avoid leaving like a plain child who had just fallen in love. I don't know why Seira is enjoying this moment.

Looked for his cell phone last night, he either put it where. He wondered if Edward had answered his message.

The message was answered a few minutes ago.

What was Edward's message? How was Kalula after the Jakarta-Tokyo phone call ended?
