So, I am back to work, this time I went to the bar by myself, Kei wake up tired so Yuri is taking care of her, I enter the bar and saw Yabu-san sitting on the piano thinking, he is not doing anything, just looking at the piano sadly.
"Yabu-san, Good Morning". I said and take his attention.
"Oh...Good Morning Ryoko". He stand up and l walk to the corner to drink some water, from his face I know he didn't sleep well or he didn't sleep at all, and he looks sad.
"Yabu-san, are you ok??". I asked and he nodded with a smile that it is obviously a fake smile and a sad one too.
".....How is Kei??". He asked, he seems hesitated to ask this but he did.
"She is tired today but she will be fine after a while or rest". I said and he nodded.
"Ok, it's time for opening". He said as he walk to the door and flip the sign to Open, I wanted to say something but he said he want to rest and leave him alone.
Couples life is complicated, I don't get it at all, I know how hard it is because I have a best friend who used to be in a relationship, but she didn't take it and break up, since that day I didn't see her, whenever I try to contact her she never answer, It's been 2 months now. But for Yabu-san and Inoo-chan, I hope everything turn good for them, they didn't deserve this at all.
"Ryoko?". The voice calling me makes me jolt and turn to look at who was it, it was Nakajima-kun.
"N-Nakajima-san! Why so early?". I asked and he smile.
"Call me Yuto, I just have a two hour brake before my class start so I passes by, lucky you are open". He sit on the chair near the front table and look at me.
"So? How is everything?". He asked and I shrugged.
"I don't know, fine and not fine, Ah! Do you need anything?". I forget to ask him, he is a costumer here so I have to treat him well.
"A fresh lemon juice please". He said and I prepare one for him and place it in front of him.
"Ne Ryoko.....Where are you from?". He asked and I smile bitterly.
"Sorry but I can't tell you". He nodded and I look down, I don't want someone to find me here, I am working for myself now.
"I'm the one who is sorry for asking you suddenly". He said and drink the juice a little.
"This so refreshing, thanks". I smile to him and walk away a little to avoid his gaze, he is making me nervous and uncomfortable, but I am sure he is a nice guy, at least I hope so.
"Did you see Kota?". He asked and I look at him.
"Yes, he enter that room saying he need to rest". He sighed and I give him another glass of lemon juice, he smile to me and thanks me, this time I felt my breath was taking, my heart is beating so fast and I need to do something.
"N-Ne Have you------".
"Ohayogozaimasu~". Two costumers enter and I welcome them in, I look at Yuto and he nodded and he drink the juice, leaving me serving the costumer, after that I kept busy until he said he need to leave to the uni.
********************************************
During the noon, I sit on the chair waiting for any costumer to enter but no, the bar was so quiet, and Yabu-kun was quiet too, he didn't leave that room yet, and I can't do anything about that since he said he don't want anyone to annoy him.
