“He really is a great student of mine. Imagine he could even run the fastest on the track! I'm telling you, yes, my student has no doubt about his abilities. He is hardworking, and never gives up. He really amazed me. It is small but the fighting spirit is high. It's insane! I've always been motivated when I was teaching him.”
Arthur could only sigh while rubbing his face when he listened to Ronald's flirtation that this time was proud of one of his students who was said to be participating in the national sports olympics. Yes, it will indeed be a pride for a teacher, when the student he teaches is greater than himself. But unfortunately Arthur is not in the mood to serve Ronald.
At this time he, Joan, and Ronald come to the hot pot shop, the location is a bit different from usual but it is also because Joan suddenly said she wanted to eat something spicy. He also added that spicy foods can neutralize stress in the head. But still the recommendation did not give much influence to Arthur. For the second time when he was with his friends, Arthur's mood dropped dramatically again.
The factor is obvious because of Kelly. In their group this time, the woman did not show her nose at all. Clearly this creates a gaping hole created by Arthur's guilt towards him. He could not be apathetic, because obviously this was the result of his actions. Because it is certain how the impact of their conversation yesterday with the continuation of their relationship in the future.
Even though his ears heard Ronald's rant, Arthur's head kept rolling thinking about Kelly's words about Arthur who had found someone. What does that woman mean?
Arthur's shoulder slumped, the more thought became of him. In the end the man was chin-backed, before sharing his views with Joan. He just realized that the man also seems to have problems in his life even though I don't know what. Because usually although Joan usually does not talk much but the man looks more quiet than usual.
What the hell is going on? It felt like he had just found something bright happening in his own life. Now he was in a daze, and found a dead end. Normally Arthur would resolve this gloomy feeling with a one night stand. It was usually quite effective to repel the gloom that filled his head while removing his mind from various dizzying things. But now that option did not even feel interesting for him to try.
In his current situation Arthur only hopes to meet him face to face. One person who is the root of all the uncertain feelings that come to his heart and mind.
“I've told you a million times, Silvana. If eating spicy neutralized by drinking milk!”
Arthur's ears automatically sharpened upon hearing one name that drove out the deepest recesses of his mind.
“But I don't like milk, I mean drinking milk just makes my stomach bloated. I don't like that feeling.”
“I'm just trying to help you, if you don't like it that way already. The important thing is I want to eat spicy.”
“Egois once you're Jiyya. I don't like it so much!”
Arthur now stared at the figure who started to lightly step on his legs, his long blonde hair swaying as he moved his body as he replied to Jiyya's words. Today it looks a little simpler. Even her hair that she used to always untangle, Silvana tied today.
Next to him, Arthur also realized there was an unnatural movement from Joan. Somehow he felt that the man was getting a little more excited than he was just a moment ago. Even more so than Arthur seems. But Arthur saluted even though the look in his eyes seemed fiery, the man was very smart to cover up what he felt well. Although he was wondering why the man suddenly looked interested.
Unlike him who may seem like a spoiled little puppy who meets his employer. It was almost difficult to hold her back as she felt a burst of euphoric feelings in her heart. Many of his proteges always said so, and even Arthur guaranteed they were willing to testify to it.
Although the reality is, Arthur feels he needs to keep a little image and hold himself back when Jiyya and Silvana had a glance at their table. Feeling stupid, and being caught staring. Arthur immediately turned his gaze to the other direction quickly. Trying to be calm, and pretending not to know the whereabouts of the girls.
But Joan was different from him, the man suddenly stood up from his chair. He very confidently approached Jiyya, they then engaged in a conversation that was out of the question. But surely Jiyya seems not to be too approachable by Joan. The look on the girl's face was very clear, just as it seemed that she was not good at hiding emotions. While Arthur remained in his position, in his heart the man prayed that perhaps Silvana would approach him as usual. But to the end, he did not find the cheerful girl eroding the distance let alone greeting him.
Wrong behavior, and feeling bad. Arthur suddenly asks Ronald for permission to go to the restroom. The man was really desperate. Silvana was not as she remembered. The girl seemed to be trying not to approach him and greet him as usual.
Arthur washed his face with tap water in the sink, and stared at his face fixedly through the mirror. That's when he realized what had happened. They made love once, and according to the girl's words she would stop chasing him. Arthur should be happy that the girl stopped acting around him, and she returned to being an ordinary college student. But something inside him was screaming unhappily. He regretted. It should have been that time, he held Silvana's hand and prevented her from leaving. But he didn't do it and instead saw her leave just like that. Arthur knows he's been a complete moron because of this.
“Halo, Sir Arthur.”
Just as Arthur exits the restroom door, the man is aghast to realize that Silvana's existence has moved on. The girl was in front of him and greeted him.
“Ah, h-hello Silvana!” Arthur's body could not be cooperated with. The man almost tripped, if he wasn't fast He must now look ridiculous in Silvana's eyes. But to cover up his nervousness, the man scratched the back of his head, wondering why the girl approached him again even though he liked it.
Sure enough Silvana immediately giggled to see the clumsy Arthur in front of him. Arthur felt that moment as well he wanted to dig a hole and submerge himself into the deepest part.
“What after you saw me, you tried to evade me, sir?”
