THE TROUBLING CEO WIDOWER
CHAPTER 11 (MEETING FIRST LOVE)

Mei enters her high school building. His memory was restored seven years ago.

He stared at the oak tree that was still standing firmly beside the school building.

In the past, every hour of rest, Mei always open bento and eat with Yamaken.

Yamakens... How are you doing now? Fortunately it wasn't a grand reunion but just a one-class reunion, so I didn't have to see you again.

Mei recalls her sweet love with Yamaken.

Love monkey school boy.

The innocent and sincere without having physical contact such as holding hands let alone kissing.

Their love has not reached that level. It's only been 100 days.

Mei remembers, the day before the incident, she and Naumi went to the souvenir shop to buy their hundredth birthday memento.

A leather bracelet that is cool if it is coiled in Yamaken's hands, so thought Mei. Be her choice as a gift.

"Y!!!"

Naumi's shrieking voice calling her name made Mei turn her head.

A beautiful girl in contemporary clothes waved her hand in May and they cipika cipiki miss each other.

"I thought you were joking when you said you were going to attend a reunion this year!" the thrill makes Mei laugh.

"Yes. It took me a long time to attend the reunion this time! Hehe..."

"Some friends have arrived. They're rendevous in the canteen. As always, school snacks are the thing we miss the most when we grow up."

"Hahaha, that's right Nau! I also miss the usual lunch menu provided by the canteen mother every Monday."

Mei and Naumi seemed engrossed in reminiscing about school time.

Suddenly,

"May!"

Someone mentioned Mei's name. Her voice, felt familiar to Mei's ears. And when he looked,

"Yama_ken!?"

Mei was surprised to see a figure that used to often make her heart beat fast while they were sitting together.

"How are you, Mei? Long time no see!"

Mei's tongue is twisted. His lips trembled and his throat was like it was hard to make a sound.

"May!"

Naumi elbowed Mei's arm.

"Ah, yes. Good news! How's kabarm, Ken?"

Finally Mei could also answer the question of Yamaken's pleasantries after being able to regain her consciousness.

"May!... You are more beautiful!" puji Yamaken makes Mei blush and Naumi giggles.

"Hey, looks like you guys just want to have a chat together. I'm going first to the cafeteria?" sela Naumi made Mei sigh.

"Naumi, wait!"

However Naumi had already darted away quickly leaving Mei and Yamaken.

Mei is clumsy because this is their first meeting back after Yamaken's latest incident with Tao.

"There's something I'd love to say. Me, every year waiting for your class reunion moment to meet you, Mei!"

Yamaken's remarks made Mei gawk.

"You misunderstood me and Tao, Mei!"

Mei was silent, not answering.

"May?!"

"I hear you, Ken! Never mind, it's just love monkey love snot boy! Hehe... I'm sorry, if it used to be so childish!"

"I should be the one apologizing to you! I, I dare not be honest about my family to you, Mei!"

In the past, Mei was just amazed at Yamaken. School idol guy. Yamaken the chairman of SEITOKAI. It's more or less the same as OSIS. He holds a taekwondo black belt and is also the captain of their school basketball team.

All the girls are hailing Yamaken.

Really dream guy.

Who is not proud and happy if getting a confession of love from a Yamaken. Mei was the luckiest girl at the time.

May is ordinary. There is no advantage other than students who do not have a bad record.

Mei does have many friends, but she includes the criteria of shy children and does not like to appear striking among other friends.

Since Yamaken asked her out, Mei immediately famous throughout school. Even on the first day of Yamaken's love confession, genk Tanaka immediately came and asked for the privilege that Mei had so that Yamaken could fall in love with her.

"May!"

Mei gasps. Yamaken's hand touched his fingers.

Mei's eyes were instantly fixed on her leather gift bracelet seven years ago. Worn bracelet even his side has started to peel off his arin skin.

"This...?!" muttered Mei while touching the bracelet worn by Yamaken.

"Gift gave you a hundred days to be us!" yamaken added making Mei mute.

"May.." said Yamaken again.

"I didn't expect, you'd really like this cheap bracelet!"

"This is a special gift from you. You recall? I kept a lollipop from you for a week and I kept it in my school bag. I like to keep gifts from people I love!"

Mei stuck.

The people I love? Am I the one he loves? Is that true?

"May!... Do you know why I shot you and want you to be my girlfriend?"

Mei shook her head. He did not know and never knew the reason for Yamaken.

Sometimes Mei herself wonders why Yamaken shot her when many other girls were more beautiful and popular than her.

"You remember the fateful Halloween event of 1997 in central Tokyo?"

"You mean... The collapse of the city park suspension bridge to the death of 34 children died? That's... That's what I'm going through, too, Ken! I was there at the time of the incident!"

"Me too, Mei!"

"What happened to that?"

"I survived the death because a girl misguided her friend's hand. He, instead, led me and pulled in another direction, not the bridge. I was screaming in annoyance but suddenly there was the sound of people screaming and it turned out that the suspension bridge broke its safety rope."

Deg.

Mei recalled her Junior High school days back then. He once held someone's hand wrong on Halloween night at the Tokyo park in the suspension bridge area.

So, the boy I pulled his hand off is Yamaken?

Mei bit her lower lip.

"So, you..."

"I'm the guy whose hand you held until saved from a fatal accident broke the bridge that took the lives of some of my Junior High School friends!"

Mei looked into Yamaken's eyeballs.

"You, are the savior of my life, Mei!"

"But it's just a coincidence."

"Yes. And ever since then, I've been trying to figure out the whereabouts of my life's little helper girl. Turns out, that girl went to high school with me. After finding the girl, I watched her almost every day. A simple girl with not much style. He was kind and generous to anyone even though he was a bit shy. The girl made me slowly fall in love with her. That's why I dared to shoot him. And that was the first time I fell in love."

Mei swallowed her saliva. Stunned to hear the Yamaken story.

"You know what, Mei? I was a popular guy in High School. But I've never been in love and courting. That's why I pretend to be cool in front of you so that my friends don't get sucked up saying I'm your love slave. That's why you see me as half-heartedly loving you. And the matter of my chat with Tao, you misunderstood. Tao is my stepbrother. We did cover up her Papa's marriage to my mother. We don't want our schoolmates to know and make our family a joke. Me and Tao have nothing to do, Mei! Even Tao is now married and living in Nagoya."

Mei lowered her head. His heart throbbed pain. Blaming yourself for being too quick to make a decision at the time.

Yes God! How could I possibly misjudge Yamaken and Tao? I almost killed myself if Ryo didn't come to my aid! Ryos... Yoshizawa Ryo. Why is my life story like this? O God Almighty! Who is at fault in my case?
