THANKS

I stood blankly staring at her .

" will you allow me in? "

I immediately moved aside giving way .

"don't look at me weirdly , I got your address from the homeroom teacher "

she said blankly and walked to the living room .

kiyoko was looking at her blankly.

"umm, kiyoko this is -

"I'm Ritsuko Ayumi , Kiyoshi's friend "

she cut me off as kiyoko gave an '0' face.

"I'm Azumaya Kiyoko , Kiyoshi's elder sister "

she introduced herself as Ritsuko gave a bow and smiled.

wait did she just smile !!! what the fluff!

"so where is your room Kiyoshi ?"

she asked as I pointed upstairs and and jogged up as she followed .

she entered inside as she was shook . she looked all over the room which was filled with nothing but pictures of Hiromi.

she poked her tongue through her cheek as she sat up on the bed.

"you want something from me ?"

I asked fiddling my fingers .

she didn't reply as she was busy staring my room.

I pursed my lips together.

"umm did you tell something to Hiromi?"

I asked again to avoid the awkward silence.

"why didn't you come to the university "

she asked ignoring my questions.

"uh- i-I wasn't fe-feeling well "

"don't lie "

she said with a straight face still staring at the room.

"fine ! I was afr-afraid "

I said still looking at my lap as she said nothing instead she got up and went downstairs.

I heaved a sigh as rolled over to the side of the bed and cuddled with my duvets .

after a long time of staring at the ceiling I heard my sister calling me .

"Kiyoshi ! dinner is ready "

"coming "

I replied as plopped out of the bed and lazily dragged my ass to the dining .

as I entered I saw Ritsuko arranging the dining .

what the!! didn't she leave? I thought she left already .

"thanks sweetheart "

kiyoko told as she patted Ritsuko's head . she smiled , what the , I never saw her smiling , not even a little , she does have a heart . I smiled and sat down as we ate together.

---

"I'll be leaving then "

Ritsuko told as Kiyoko gave a small hug .

"see you soon sweetheart "

Ritsuko nodded as I went along with her to send her off .

as we went out she turned towards me .

"I'll help you "

she said as I stood clueless.

"I'll help you to make Hiromi love you back "

she told as I stood frozen. did she just tell she will help me ?

"th-thanks "

I said as no words came from my mouth .

she didn't tell anything as she left .

"I can no other answer make, but, thanks, And thanks, and ever thanks."
