"It seems that I have to go home at night," said Sera.
"How about just staying?" I said to Sera.
"No, I have work to do,"
"Well then, I'll deliver,"
"Yes," Sera said, nodding.
I went downstairs to take Sera home. I drove a car parked in the basement of the apartment. I didn't ask much about what he was going to do so refusing my invitation just thought this wasn't an undesirable thing. Arriving in front of Sera's apartment I told her to come in immediately because the night was getting colder.
"Bye," Sera said.
"Bye, come in quickly," I said.
"Be careful on the road," Sera said again, waving her hand.
Fortunately I wasn't so drunk that I was able to drive Sera and drive. Finally, the atmosphere returned to silence a night full of stars signaling good news. I started to go back to my activities playing video games late into the night.
Trrirrrrrtttttttt Trrirrrrrtttttttt Trrirrrrrtttttttt
My phone kept ringing.
"Hello, huh?"
"How are you? Tomorrow can see uncle has not seen you Brian for a long time."
Apparently the one who called me these nights was my uncle. Looks like he's back in town, I'm so happy.
"I'm fine, what about uncle?" he asked back.
"I'm also fine, there are important things to talk about tomorrow come to my place,"
"Yes, well,"
"You're not overtime, are you,?"
"Not tomorrow I go home as usual the schedule has not changed,"
"It's good then. Yasudah see you soon."
"Yes uncle," I said as I hung up the phone.
Time has shown late at night now is the time for me to sleep. Tomorrow I have to restart my daily life that has never been separated from the word busy. And again I have to see my uncle how else should I obey him otherwise it will be troublesome. I closed my eyes slowly until I fell asleep.
In a hospital called Holive Hospital which is very familiar in this city where my uncle worked he was the head of the hospital named William McDonie. Right in the meeting room.
"How about it? Have you talked about it?" asked one of the doctors.
"Today he will come here don't worry," William said.
"Well, hopefully in agreeing to it anyway the child is very competent I have heard it many times," said the doctor.
"It's good to hear that I hope we can work together in the future," William said with a smile.
"Of course, this will be very good," the doctor replied.
In a hurry I had to go to the place where my uncle told me to meet fortunately today was no busier than usual some of the operations I did well of course with the help of my colleagues. Immediately after this I will see my uncle will not take much time to distance close enough from here to that hospital.
After picking up Sera we finally arrived at Cafe Miley and ordered some menus. This time I ordered steak and wine as well as Sera. We enjoyed the dishes casually while chatting the little things. Actually after this I was about to tell you that I would be transferred to the task immediately. But it didn't seem like the time was right so I didn't tell Sera. Our anniversary is just waiting for a few more days I was confused what to give to Sera considering the many things she liked to have been given to her. I seem to have to ask for the opinion of my friend who knows a lot about women.
"How's the food?" he asked Sera.
"Never disappoint," he replied with a chuckle.
I poured wine into his glass and we toasted. Although it's daytime there's nothing wrong with enjoying wine in the middle of our dating atmosphere. Looking at the food we have spent now Sera took me shopping for the cosmetics she needed. We walked through the mall and some of the beauty shops that were there while choosing the products she wanted. Unexpectedly we met my old friends Joe and Meredy judging from their togetherness turned out not to change they until now still dating apparently.
"Wow, what are you Brian," Meredy said kindly.
"Meredy? What are you here eh Joe also I understand with this situation," I said.
"Of course shopping. How are you doing? It was a long time ago when I met when I was apart. You're anywhere until there's no such news?"
"It's not that there is no news that I am just a little busy. Yes, that's it,"
"Mmm..... suspicious,"
"What are you suspecting?" he asked with some irritation.
"Kidding," Lol
"Uh bro still looks the same apparently. How about we reunite this week at vivi club?"
"How about next time. This week I really can't," I told Joe.
"You heard that he can't help but force it, maybe there is something more important, right Sera?" said Meredy to Sera.
"Eh..." Sera said with a little surprise
"I want a party," joe said.
"Next time, bro, you don't hear,"
The conversation with them became quite long and finally we hung out at the café around it. While chatting a few things because it's been a long time since we met and once met they did not bear to talk about many things ranging from ordinary topics to absurd.
"Brian I ordered ice americano," Meredy said.
"Me too," joe said.
"What kind of message do you want?", I asked Sera.
"Ice latte," Sera replied.
"Don't take long," said Meredy.
"Oh my.. It's so noisy," I said silently.
I went to order the drinks that my friends and I ordered. Not long after, the order came. While enjoying a drink we talked again.
"Do you know the news of Nouran Mori's death?" asked Joe.
"Not at all. When did he die?" he asked curiously.
"Reportedly he hit the bus while driving at the time he was drunk,"
"Why did he get to that?" he asked again.
"Isn't it clear. He must have been in trouble because it could have been heavily drunk and there was an accident," Meredy said.
"I just heard. Isn't he that guy friends with you when I see you hanging out with him a lot, right?" he asked Joe.
"It was a long time ago that I no longer joined him and also actually never made friends just to the extent of seniors," Joe replied.
"Oh yes Sera how about tomorrow we go to the salon together? Do you have time?" asked Meredy to Sera.
"I'm sorry it seems that tomorrow I will go home at night because of the schedule for the music show."
"So it seems that yasudah doesn't matter."
"Thank you."
"There is no need to thank you casually."
"Uh Joe, what about your job?" he asked Joe.
"It's not bad just to have to take care of a little problem," Joe said.
"A little problem what is of course a lot of you are a detective," said Meredy.
"You two detectives?" asked Sera.
"Oh. So Brian never told you? Woaahh you're outrageous," Meredy said.
"It's not telling him. Oh lord."
"Come on, I'm just kidding," Meredy said.
"Are you investigating Mori's death?" he asked curiously.
"Not us but our seniors. I only heard a little bit," Joe said.
"After all, alcohol-related accidents have often occurred," Meredy said.
"That's right too. Did he die on the spot?" he asked again.
"He died in hospital shortly before being taken to the operating room. That's what I heard," Joe replied.
Instantly I felt distressed by Joe's statement just now. Is this just my feeling why I've been sensitive lately like this. Though it has never been like this before.
"Brian why? Is there a problem?" asked Sera.
"Uh, no. I'm okay," I replied.
"You suddenly daydreamed there's no way nothing happened," Meredy said.
"Come on I said it's okay not to overdo it,"
"Worrying about that person is not an exaggeration,"
"Don't fight," Joe said.
"WHO'S FIGHTING," I and Meredy said in unison.
"Oh my god. It turns out that you never change," Joe said.
Sera who was just smiling saw a little bit of our debate. It's not strange to have met them something like this must have happened. Meredy and Joe were my high school friends and college friends despite different majors but we were always together like a gang. It's no wonder that fighting with each other. But it can still be familiar like nothing happened.
"It's late afternoon I have to go home," Meredy said.
"Well then see you two. Sorry to interrupt her date time," Joe said.
"Apparently he also teased me," I muttered to myself silently.
"See you soon. Be careful Meredy," said Sera.
"We go first. Bye," meredy said.
They then left the two of us still sitting. It doesn't feel like we've been chatting for 3 hours to spend here even though accidentally meeting in the end became a fairly fun reunion. There are not many things I ask them even though I still want a lot of information.
"How about we go home too. I have a lot to do at home," Sera said.
"Okay. We're home," I told Sera.
Immediately after paying for everything Sera and I left the Café and rushed to the parking lot to get my car. On the way I talked a little with Sera so as not to get bored.
"What do you think today?" he asked.
"It's fun. Thank you for accompanying me to go shopping."
"There is no need to thank you for being like that,"
"Okay okay,"
After driving Sera home I went straight back home to check out some of my work that might still have to be done.
