“Can’t they say it more clearly...”
Aiba mumbled while trying to understand his friends’ words. He keeps walking until he reaches the front door of the basketball’s hall. He looks at the door before he left out a heavy sigh. If Matsumoto didn’t say that he only can understand it when he is with the ‘factor’, there’s no way he will come there.
‘Ittai~’
Again, his heart beat so fast. He hesitantly looks at the door and almost walks away as he worried that he will die because of the hard thump. Suddenly, he stops when he heard something.
‘...Is she crying?’
Slowly, he moves to the door and opens it. He saw the ‘ghost’ is crying and sobbing on the court with her back facing him.
“*sob* How could you *sob* did that to me...”
‘Eh? What does she mean?’
Aiba steps into the hall carefully. He hopes that she will not noticed that he was there, but unfortunately the ‘ghost’ look back as she heard footsteps’ sound coming from behind.
“Eh?”
She turns her body toward him while wiping her tears.
“You’re skipping your class?”
“NO! I’m-I’m just...er...”
Aiba suddenly turns to silent. The ‘ghost’ chuckles though tears still falling from her eyes.
“...A-Are you okay? Why are you crying?”
Aiba looks at her worriedly. However, the ‘ghost’ smirks at him.
“Well, a pot calling a kettle black?”
“Eh?”
He looks at the ‘ghost’ confusedly before he remembers that he also just crying before. Clumsily, he rubs his eyes and looks back at her.
“Well, I was crying before, but now I’m fine.”
Then, he moves closer to her.
“Why are you crying?”
“And...why are you crying too?”
“I’m asking you, so you shouldn’t ask me the same question back.”
“But, why?”
“Mou~ Please take my question seriously!”
The ‘ghost’ laughs by his answer. However, she abruptly stops when she saw Aiba is seriously looking at her.
“Please tell me why are you crying?”
Aiba asks her again. She looks at him calmly before starts crying again.
“...I’m just sad...”
Her tears flow again.
“They live happily after what they had done to me...Besides, no one remembered about me and what they know just...I am haunting this place...”
Then, she starts crying again, making Aiba totally becomes speechless. Aiba confused with what he should do as he was hurting a lot when she is crying hardly like that.
“I was so lonely...I just hope there’s someone that still know and remember about me...”
The ‘ghost’ bits her lips, tries to hold her sob.
“It’s...really...hurting me...”
She turns her body from facing Aiba since she knows that she can’t hold her cry anymore.
“Hurting me...a lot-”
She gasps when Aiba suddenly hugs her from behind.
“...Don’t worry.”
She shocked when she heard Aiba is crying too.
“...I’m here.”
“Eh?”
“...Even, your family doesn’t remember about you anymore and even everyone in this school forgets about your existence...”
Aiba tighten his hug.
“I promise that I’ll never forget you.”
Then, both of them didn’t say anything anymore. The ‘ghost’ still shocked with Aiba’s action and words while Aiba still confused with his own behaviour. He didn’t know why he suddenly feels want to hug her and he also didn’t know why he feels so hurt when he saw she is crying.
‘I...shouldn’t do this!’
Aiba immediately almost loosens his hands from her body. However, the ‘ghost’ suddenly moves her right hand to Aiba’s collar shirt.
“Pervert.”
“Eh?”
“I said PERVEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!”
Suddenly, she grabbing tightly Aiba’s collar while yelling loudly.
“UUUUUUWAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Just a blink of eyes the ‘ghost’ throws Aiba’s body hardly to the court.
BUMP!!!
“...Ittai...”
The ‘ghost’ laughs hardly before stuck out her tongue at him.
“I learned judo before you know! Yeay~”
She said it while doing a ‘peace’ sign at him. Aiba just rubbing his aching back while gives out a frustrated sighs on the court. How could she do that to him thought he was crying for her and even tries to comfort her before.
“Here.”
The ‘ghost’ suddenly offers him her hand.
“What?”
“Let me help you to get up.”
“You think I’ll trust you?”
“Don’t worry, I have no bad intention anymore.”
Aiba hesitantly looks at her hand before he takes it and slowly gets up by her help.
‘...This is the first time I touch her hand and its cold...but, still warm...’
He thinks while his hand still not letting go of her hand.
“Alright, can you let go of my hand now?”
“It’s better if you find it out by yourself.”
“...You only can understand it when you are with the ‘factor’ of the ‘doki doki’ stuff.”
“I’m really sorry about before, so can you-”
“I got an idea.”
He smiles brightly at her.
“Let’s go somewhere else!”
“Eh?”
