The Last Blossom
The beginning
Ichiro
we're done with our work for today.
Ichiro
lets continue this project tomorrow.
hinata
sure. but don't be late tomorrow like you always are.
Ichiro
ok fine. lets just end this call right here.
Ichiro
My battery is gonna end soon.
Ichiro goes towards the window to close the curtains.
a girl is hiding near Ichiro's house gate behind the sakura tree.
Ichiro
Who is she and what is she doing here?
Opens his room door and goes downstairs to get a bottle of water.
Ichiro
who is it at this time of the night?
Ichiro
maybe its that girl I saw from my window.
Ichiro goes towards the door and opens it.
A girl is standing there.
the girl forces herself in and hides behind the sofa
Ichiro
who are you and what are you doing here?
Aiko
I don't have time to explain the whole thing.
Aiko
Can you tell me if the police cops have gone.
Ichiro
why are they behind you?
Ichiro
are you a criminal?
Aiko
can you just shut up for a while and tell me what I asked you?
Ichiro sees the police cops pass through his house.
Ichiro
Now can you explain what is happening?
Aiko comes out from behind the sofa.
Aiko
Actually... I've been accused of a murder of my friend's family.
Ichiro
Then you have committed a crime.
Ichiro
shouldn't I be turning you in.
Aiko
wait! let me complete.
Aiko
I haven't done anything.
Ichiro
I don't understand what you are saying.
Ichiro
you have and you have not committed a murder.
Aiko
I just went at her home to give her some sweets my mom prepared.
Aiko
I opened the door but no one was there
Aiko
I couldn't see anything because the lights were off.
Aiko
So I just made my way to the switchboard and turned on the lights.
Aiko
What I saw would horrify you.
Aiko
I saw that they were lying on the sofa unconscious.
Aiko
I thought they must have slept.
Aiko
I went towards my friend to wake her up but she did not respond.
Aiko
I checked on her breathing to find out that she was dead!!
Aiko
I just panicked and dropped the sweets on the floor.
Ichiro
Hmmm.. then why are you here?
Ichiro
why were the cops chasing you?
Aiko
I don't know. I just heard police car siren outside the house.
Aiko
someone must've called the police.
Aiko
so I had no option but to run away from the back door.
Aiko
and then I came to your house.
Ichiro
There are many houses around here.
Aiko
Every house had their lights closed and only your room light was lit.
Aiko
so I thought I might get help.
Ichiro
I don't know what to do next.
Ichiro
you can't just stay here.
Aiko
Please I beg you. let me stay here for a while.
Aiko
I can't go out or somebody would turn me in after seeing the news next day.
Ichiro
You can sleep on the sofa.
Ichiro
but you have to plan out something tomorrow.
Ichiro
you can't just stay here
Aiko
I will just be here for a few days.
Ichiro
ok then. I'm off to bed.
Aiko sleeps the night on Ichiro's sofa
the start of the love story
Ichiro
I had such a nice sleep
Ichiro
*shock* why are you here!?
Aiko
what's this loud noise?
Ichiro
what are you doing in my room on my bed?
Ichiro
No! I told you you be downstairs.
Ichiro
anyways, how long have you been in here?
Aiko
yeh! you heard it right.
Ichiro
So you mean I slept with you for 5 hours.
Ichiro
leave the past aside. can you cook?
Aiko
yes, I can. I learnt a lot of dishes from my mom.
Ichiro
mom!? oh wait. won't your mom be worried about you not being found?
Aiko
don't worry.I already told her that I'll be out of the city for a few days.
Aiko
I was gonna leave after giving my friend the sweets cause her home was just next to the train station
Ichiro
Can you cook me breakfast? I'm running really late.
Aiko
ok sure but what do you have in your fridge.
Ichiro
There are some eggs.
Aiko
ok. you can go get ready and till then I'll make some food.
Ichiro
ok but make it fast.
Ichiro gets ready for his school.
he quickly eats his breakfast
Ichiro
I'm off. you stay at home and don't open the door if someone knocks.
Ichiro reaches his high school.
He sees his friend hinata watching the general television and goes near him
Ichiro
what are you seeing?
hinata
umm. nothing. just the news.
hinata
A family was murdered yesterday night. If I remember the address was somewhere near your home. don't you know?
Ichiro
no. I don't know anything.
hinata
The police cops saw a girl running away from the back door
hinata
I just hate those people who commit a crime and run.
Ichiro
maybe you are misunderstood
Ichiro
It can be possible that the murderer may be someone else and the girl is innocent.
hinata
Why are you supporting that girl?
hinata
Did she come to your house?
Ichiro
no.. no... it's nothing like that.
Ichiro
let's go to our class or we might be late.
hinata
yeh. you are right.
Aiko
I won't open. How can I trust you?
Ichiro
please open the door
Ichiro
can't you recognize my voice?
Ichiro
I think I'll have to break the door.
Ichiro runs towards the door to smash it but just as he is about to hit the door, Aiko opens the door.
Ichiro looses his balance and falls on top of Aiko
Ichiro paused
Aiko paused
Aiko
umm.. can you take your face far from mine.
Ichiro
why did you open the door at the last moment?
Ichiro
thought about what?
Aiko
your voice, so I opened the door.
Ichiro
anyways, let me freshen up.
Ichiro goes to freshen up
Aiko
*mumbling to herself* did the thing just happen. he was so close to me. Woah!!
Ichiro
she isn't that bad if you see
