46 CHAPTER 46 : Listen here (1/2)

[I have something to discuss with you. Do you have time right now?]

Kahina eyes wandered around tried to look for the owner of the messages and the silhouette she was looking wasn't within her sight. She focuses all her attention on the surrounding but she can't find Touma.

[Where are you?]

[I'm in the lobby.]

[I'm coming]

”Toshiro, I need to excuse myself. It was nice meeting you and I will see you tomorrow then.” She slightly bowed to him and almost sprinted out to the lobby. Toshiro can see an imaginary smoke left from her running. There must be something urgent for her to run out as fast as the wind like that. He couldn't even reply to her farewell at all.

'Never mind. Tomorrow will come.' He consoled himself. A glimpse of determination flashed on his eyes.

Kahina skipping happily to the lobby as the thought of seeing him boosted her excitement.

'What did he want to talk about? Did he want to confess?' Her sudden thought halted her step and she instantly covered her face with both of her palms while shook her head repeatedly. Kahina ears begun creep out with redness. She was in her own world unaware to the people strangely looking at her foolish state.

'No, Kahina! Don't put your hope too high!' she shook her head once again but her grinned doesn't agree with her.

'But what if he did confess? What should I do???' She squealed and covered her blush again with both hands. Her heart was beating rapidly.

'No! Stop Kahina! He is not going to confess!' She lightly slapped her face a few time to bring herself back to reality.

She brushed her hair through her fingers a couple of time and composed herself back. She continues her steps and increased the pace when he saw Touma charming silhouette at the front door.

”Why don't you wait inside? It is cold out here!' Touma's heart warms up when Kahina voice out her worries. The darkness surrounded him just a moment ago vanished.

”It's too suffocating inside. I need fresh air.”

Kahina scanned him before nodded convinced with his explanation. She knows Touma was the same as her, they both dislike the crowd. It is undeniably suffocating with too much hypocrisy and she is also one of them. It was unavoidable to gaining status and power. Touma and she have the power to dominate everyone in the hall but it is not wise to rub it on their faces. Even an ant has the capabilities to hurt people, what are more people itself. So many leaders on top were taken down by a mere lowlife when they started to underestimate the one beneath them. It is okay for her to hide her nails as long as it gave her benefit.

”Let's take a walk. What do you want to talk about?”

'Please confess! Please confess! Please confess!' she chanted, hoping her wish come true.

”Owh... About that... Actually... I like...”

'Ha... ah... you like... ME? ME right?' she was only able to say it inside her heart hopeful.
