Chapter 16 - EMI

LOBBY CAFÉ

A girl with knee length pencil skirt and plain blouse walked into the café.She had her boring black hair tied in a simple low tie and she was wearing an old looking spectales.Nerdy,plain and boring ,could be the best words to describe her.She walked in and went straight to the counter where Aya was busy talking Myuu.

Aya : Welcome!

Aya looked at the girl and she froze when she realized that she knows that girl.

Aya : Are you kidding me?

Emi: Good Morning!(pushing her spects up)

Aya walked out of the counter and went straight to Emi and hugged her.Aya screamed a little when she saw Arisa infront of her.They haven’t met since Aya and Risa came back to Japan. Hasegawa Emi is one of their room mates back when they were studying in America.Three of them are so close since they stayed in the same house all through out the years

Aya : Whats  with this nerdy image anyway?(looking at Emi from top to bottom)

Emi : I decided to look nerdy for a while.How do I look?Nerdy enough?

Aya : You may fool other people not me Emi (rolling her eyes)

Emi : Oh come on.

Aya : What happened to your purple hair?

Emi : I dyed them black before flying back here.

Aya : Why?Wait wait,lets sit! Shinji!!! My favorite drink,two!

Shinji : Right away Aya-san!

Aya asked Emi to sit at the table and Aya looked at Emi and laughed again.

Emi : What?

Aya : Its weird,seriously.First,to see you here.And second…(pointing to Emi)

Emi : I tried hard to look nerdy today alright.Please spare some compliments.

Aya : Oh come one,my eyes can still detect your sharpness in everything. You cant fool me Emi.But,when did you come back?

Emi : Yesterday!

Aya : And..

Emi : I went to your house this morning to find Junna-san telling me both of you got a job.

Aya : And you came here.

Emi : Yes!Where is Risa working anyway?

Aya : I’ll tell you later(winks)

Emi adjusted her spectacles and that action made Aya burst out laughing

Aya : I cant see you like this seriously.I doubt Risa can digest looking at your costume play today.

Emi : I find it so pleasing not to have eyes looking at you.

Aya : Had enough of people turning their head to you eh?

Emi : I had enough of America Aya.Let me start over in Japan,as a nerdy.

Aya : Fake nerdy you mean?

Emi : Shut up.

Aya : Lets see if Risa wont kill you when she sees you.

Suddenly the door to Aya’s café swung opened and two guys walked in.Heads turned when the two guys walked in and everyone seem to be focused on them.Not because they are wearing suits or anything,it is because they are Ishikawas.

Isane : Im getting  a coffee.

Akira :Since when do you drink coffees?

Isane and Akira went straight to the counter to order.

Aya : who is these guys..

Emi : How should I know.

COUNTER

Myuu : One caramel mocha and latte!

Isane : I heard you got a new owner?

Myuu : Yes yes Isane-san!Thats our new owner.

Myuu pointed to the table near the window and both Isana and Akira turned to look.Isane accidentally looked at the wrong person and his eyes landed on the old man,sitting at the table alone.He turned to Myuu with a disbelief look.

Isane : That old man?

Myuu : eh no no,that one!The one in red and short hair.The woman sitting infront of the lady with spectacles.

Akira and Isane turned again and they finally spot Aya .

Myuu : Oh!They are friends  of Kaname’s girlfriend too.

Akira : Okumura?

Myuu : (nodding)

Isane : (surprised)

Akira : Whats her name?

MYuu : Aya,Nakazawa Aya.

Akira : Not bad at all

Isane : Akira (glaring at Isane)

Akira : Im joking .(smirks)

Isane : Well,why not we go and say hello. We’ll be seeing her a lot after this.Plus she is Okumura’s friend.

Akira : (confused)

Isane,without second doubts walked towards Aya’s table while Akira following him from behind.

Aya  : Oh god,Emi,you are as annoying as ever!

Emi : I know you miss me(winks)

Isane : Good Morning (smiles)

Aya and Emi abruptly stopped laughing when they heard  Isane’s voice,They turned to look at a very smart and neat looking man dressed in all black suit with a light brown tie.

Aya : Good Morning..?

Isane : I apologize for the sudden introduction.We got to know that you are the new owner here?

Aya quickly  stood and smile at both Isane and Akira.

Aya : I am so sorry.Yes yes.Nakazawa Aya-des.

Isane : Don’t be formal with me Nakazawa-san. Im Ishikawa Isane--

Akira : Ishikawa Akira-des.(smiling)

Aya : More Ishikawas…(dumbfounded)

Isane : ???

Aya : eh no no I mean,nice to meet you Ishikawa-san (smiles(

Isane  : I heard that you are a friend of Okumura-san?

Emi’s head  swiftly turn to Isane when she heard Risa’s name.

Aya : aaa yes yes. We actually.Both of us. This is Hasegawa Emi.

Emi placed her drink on the table and purposely made a clumsy attempt and stood up.She bowed carelessly towards Isane and Akira.

Emi : Hasegawa Emi-des.

Isane : Nice to meet you Hasegawa san(smiles)

Akira : (looking at Emi)

Aya : I suppose we will be bumping into each other frequently after this?

Isane : Exactly.

Akira :We should be going now Isane.

Isane : Oh I am so sorry .Have a good day Nakazawa-san,Hasegawa-san .(smiles)

Akira and Isane went to the counter to take their coffees and left the café.

Emi : Both of them are totally into Risa.

Aya : you think?

Emi : Definitely.
