Chapter 4 - Inei Mizuki

It's already Ten o'clock in the evening, and I'm still wide awake. No matter what I do, I can't sleep. Is anyone thinking of me? "Hmm ... I don't have time to think about what's necessary; I fell asleep." I am going crazy. At the same time, I was playing with my phone. DING! Suddenly a message appeared on my phone screen from an unknown number.

I immediately read the message, and this is the content.

"Hi, This is Mr. Ayumu Ito. Please save my number. I texted you because tomorrow is Saturday. Can I pick you up at your house tomorrow afternoon? I want to tell you something. Good night." 

My mind is blank, and I don't know how to reply to his message. I thought for a few minutes before responding to his message. Then, I replied to his message. "Hello, Mr. Ito. Okay. I will. Good night."

After a few minutes, Mr. Ito is typing...

"Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow in the afternoon. Sweet dreams," Mr. Ito added. And I started to fall asleep. I woke up early, around seven o'clock in the morning.

The day that Mr. Ito and I are going to meet and talk about something.

BEEP ... BEEP .. BEEP... BEEP... - The car's honking.

I think Mr. Ito is here. I went downstairs, left the house, and got in Mr. Ito's car. I was embarrassed to ask what we were going to talk about, and later we arrived at a coffee shop. Then we got out of the car and entered the coffee shop. "Wow! I have never been here before." I said with a cheerful voice. "Come on, Akira, Let's have a seat; what do you want to order?"

"Erm. Coffee. I want milk coffee, and vanilla slice cake." Mr. Ito left first to order.

 I can think straight; what will the two of us talk about?

STEP... STEP... STEP... Mr. Ito is walking towards me, then, "Here's your order, Akira."

"Thank you!" - I said.

"Okay, Akira, Let's start talking about Inei Mizuki." I was a little shocked when I heard Inei Mizuki's name.

"Actually, I have known about Yuki and Inei's relationship for a long time. but I already know that Yuki and Inei are separated a month ago because Inei is a womanizer; Yuki saw it."

"Shock!!!! I am speechless. Then what happened after that?"

"Remember the day when you saw them kissing? Yuki loves Inei so much that is why she just let him kiss her." He added.

After an hour, I dared to ask him what Inei's work was. ''Ahm... Mr. Ito, May I know what Inei's job is?" I asked him straight, but my voice was a bit weak. He answered my question right away.

"Inei Mizuki is a teacher too; he transferred recently to Ibaraki Senior High school, and He will start teaching again by next week."

"Ibaraki Senior High School? Oh!! My Best friend studied there—what a small world."

I was shocked by what I found out, but Mr. Ito didn't notice. He keeps talking about Inei, and I am here, but my mind suddenly sailed to another world. "Akira? Are you okay? Are you ill or something?" -I barely hear his gentle voice. "I have a request for you, Akira. Please be careful and don't think about what you see them doing." and " Don't ever fall in love with Mizuki." -he added.

I ask Mr. Ito, "why are you saying all this? I am so curious." he replied, "It is kind of confusing too. I talked to Mizuki last night, and he told me that he was interested in one of the students in class B. You are the first in my mind because I know what he wants in a woman. Just like I said, he's a womanizer, so be careful." - he said with a threatening voice.

"Don't worry, Mr. Ayumu Ito. That will never happen; I will never fall in love with Mr. Mizuki." - I smiled.

"Erm, Mr. Ito, can we go home now?" I said with a gentle voice. "Okay, Let's go home now."

While we were headed home, I didn't realize I was asleep. Mr. Ayumu just woke me up when we were about to reach my house. "We're here, Akira. Message me if something happens, huh? See you on Monday at school. Thank you for coming with me. Take care."

"Bye, bye Mr. Ito. keep safe!." I replied. I see; I will never fall in love with Mr. Inei Mizuki. I swear.
