"Woi! That's mine!" Raja yells as Anne takes her sugar biscuits without guiltiness. "I already said I wanna eat this too" Anne sluggishly replies. Bickering in the morning as usual. Thank Allah, no more waiting for Raja's excrement. Farah does not want to wait for her. Just like when Anne was waiting yesterday. She merely obstructs their ageless quarrel from entering her precious earlobes with tiredness and grimace showers her face. What a good way to start a day. Farah could only sigh. Her forenoon got ruined by these bickies damsels.
They finish breakfast early half an hour so they wander to acknowledge more about Tokyo, strolling outside the hotel before starting the tour, side by side and cling hands to each other with Anne on the left and Raja on the right. Farah is the one clinging on them like chains. Not going to let them go for safety and embracing purpose. Minutes later, a foreign man wearing a black shade and black hat with a white stripe on it collides with one of them as they walk on the footpath back to the hotel.
He inadvertently steps on Farah's shoe and the force makes Farah pushes Anne pretty hefty. He sees it thereupon says sorry but somehow sounds insincere in Anne's ears. The other two unnoticed it as they focus on his fine brown orbs in lieu. It seems intentional. He did it for an unclear reason that Anne could not tell. She sounds paranoid for sure but she could differentiate whether he is sincere or not. She keeps looking at her best friends' countenance but they... ugh! 'Why I'm the only one who could sense it? S*d!'
She did not tell them but her front shows it all. Farah and Raja catch sight of her expression. But they seem gleeful and jumpy since they rose up from the bed and sofa bed till now. It was Raja's turn yesterday to sleep on the sofa bed. She got no trouble to drift off as soon as she plopped herself on it. Anne regards it off and smiles slightly shaking her head as well as continuing to walk some little steps. Yet then, she feels hurt gradually in her left ankle. D*mmit! It literally looks fine before. She discerns her ankle sprain caused by the sudden push the moment she goes on a few steps at the parking lot.
"You okay, Anne?" Farah asks.
"Whoa, are you okay?" Raja swiftly questions almost in unison but a tad late.
"It looks... quite distended" Farah adds.
"You still can walk, aren't you, no?" Raja queries once again before she could answer them.
She assuredly tells them it did hurt but just a little and no need to worry about it. It will be cured in a short amount of time thus she acts and dances like she is fine afterwards although it did make her in pain. Plus one point damage for dancing. Still, she easily convinces them with the dance and they believe it. The trio shares the same brain cell. To begin their tour of the day, they will uncover all the other secrets of Tokyo. They visit all the important landmarks as well as will be enjoyed a little bit of souvenir shopping later in the evening.
______________________________________
The afternoon has passed with sightseeing and now it is 6 in the evening. They walk to the toilet in the mall after some souvenir shopping earlier except for Raja as she wants to find another souvenir for her family and cousins. Anne wants to widdle so Farah accompany her and wait outside. After finishing widdling, she sees the insincere man steps outside of the male toilet. 'Wait, I saw him walk into the restroom just now with his friend or... I don't know. Whose that? With him? He looks familiar... like a student from Khairi's field' She thought while waiting for him to walk a bit far so she could follow. She tries pursuing him later yet in a matter of seconds he disappears.
"Where did he go? Not again... arg-" She mutters.
A low pitch hiss could be heard as Farah pulls her forearm all of a sudden. All she could do is bite her lower lip to cover the pain. It stings more than the dance. Farah weirdly frown. She did not know why Anne's mug look pale. She was fine just now and she heard what she said. Who's he? Why she wanna find him? She thought. She wants to ask her but chooses to shrug it off for now. Anne knew Farah heard it and hopes she would forget it. She got no proof to explain and does not want her to accuse her plus she is lazy to tell the whole story.
'Oh, sh*t. I almost got caught. B*tch! How come I missed him in a blink of an eye? As far as I know, I hardly miss my target. Aargh!' She madly thought. The sightseeing is vital to Farah as she does not want to leave such valuable knowledge about Tokyo thus she once again pulls Anne's right hand and together with Raja's left hand, treading towards the place they are supposed to be headed right now. She totally forgot Anne's sprain little ankle.
Later, there are twins aged like her 3 years old niece staring at her blinking like they are curious about something. Those cutie little children send a lopsided smile at Farah when she joyfully smiles at both of them first not long after the staring contest is held. Whilst Raja and Anne are still looking at the various souvenir in one of the pretty cheap stores, not tearing their eyes off the I Love Japan fluffy tiny pillow, Japanese flag keychains and Japan mix coloured badges. Take forever to find what they want. Sigh.
Farah is still distracted by the twins as she is not moving an inch from her spot. She gently waves her hands to them after she feels comfortable enough to greet them. Abruptly, a noisy brawling sound disrupts her time with them which makes her wonder. 'Where's that voice? Weird. I heard someone was angry or shriek near to this store just now' She believes it is near. But then, the moment of truth comes out when a two years old kid next to the twins is crying. The baby makes her sort of scared spesh the brawling and shrieking.
Bam!
"Stop, you moron. What are you doing?"
What the fudge? Raja punches her back once again for what she thought Farah did. Farah's eyes enlarge with narrow eyebrows as she accuses her of making the kid cry. It is clearly not her fault at all. She almost raises her tone because of that. Yet Raja playfully hit her one more time with an unashamed and plain guiltless face. She tries to defend herself but this short coney is self-filled.
"Aw, pity that lad"
"What??! It's no-"
"I knew it!"
"No! I'm no-"
"I was just joking, Farah"
"But why did you cut me off?"
"Don't take it seriously"
"What??! It's not funny okay"
"I'm sorry but your face... pfft"
"Ha-ha-ha funny"
The justification has blown out the moment Raja's words adjourn looming. It did fall out anyhow. She rolls her eyes as she knows this is coming but still caught her off guard. Meanwhile, Anne is holding a paper bag the worker gave and heads to where her best friends are. She sees the insincere man again in a crowd as she is walking and senses unpleasant air is floating over him.
"That freakish man!" She whisper.
Her encephalon gets delusional every time she thinks about him. His presence is unwelcome but no. She could not pinpoint the matter of truth as she barely knows him. Therefore, she halts and leisurely walks behind Raja and Farah while acting like she is taking pictures and videos of them. She did take those albeit her mind got mix-up working on it but disorderly.
"Eh, why you walk behind us?"
"Yeah, come here"
"Huh? Oh, later I will. I want to snap some pictures and videos. So, go on. I'll catch up with you guys later"
"Ah, okay then. Feel free to do whatever you want"
"Okay, if you say so... Don't go too far, okay?"
"Okay, bruh and babe. Don't worry, I won't"
"And don't forget your ankle, Anne!"
"Yes, your ankle too! I almost forgot about it. If you go far away from us, I wil-"
"Aye, aye, mummies!"
She tries to figure out how to catch the man and keeps craning to her back and forth every 10 minutes. Not caring about the sightseeing anymore as she could not focus. The sightseeing pass by as time goes by. She could not observe him as he disappears again after nearly half an hour following rear. They return to the hotel for the night after praying at a mosque close to the mall.
____________________________________
Krik krik! Krik krik!
Utter silence audible along the way back to the hotel. Anne's energy-draining little by little as exhaustion eat her after the searching moment. She suddenly remembers what they told her when the faint event took place. So, she decided to tell Raja and Farah the truth. She starts to whisper in an audible voice grabbing their attention. But then, Raja is somehow upset and rankle by her attitude. Because of worn out, perhaps. Raja wants her to cease anything she has in her head. Raja got no time for this b*ll*cks! Yet she persists to proceed with her story.
"It's true, guys. I saw he's doing it with my eyeballs"
"Anne, you're tired. And I'm tired too but please..."
"B- but... He di-"
"No, Anne! You're shooting a line! He already said sorry okay... what else do you want?"
"I just wanna tel-"
"Anne! Please! Just... stop, okay? We're all tired. You're hallucinating! He apologised sincerely to us though. Yet you accused him like this. Just. stop. this."
Raja rips her a new ars*h*le for the ruckus fuss she made in the car before they step out. She tries easing her bile and pretend not to be mad as they have another day to spend with each other. Two days more. Farah tells them not to make a scene here outside the hotel. Hence, she makes them composed and would be better to discuss this later in the room. Needless to say, Raja is done with her antics for the day. Quietness takes place when she holds herself from talking with anybody for a while. The two already walking but she did not budge to move. Busying herself on her phone with photos and videos of buildings as well as nature then treading behind not long after. In the meantime, she stays dumb and placid. Whilst Raja initiates a conversation with Farah.
"Psst, Farah. You wanna know my secret?"
"Huh? Oh, about what?"
"About... secret"
"I know it's a secret... but what topic?"
"Um... lemme guess..."
"It's your secret. Why'd you guessed your own? Your secret, right? So, what's the secret?"
"Whoa, whoa. Relax, miss dimples. Fine..."
"I. am. relax"
"I wanna get a Japanese husband"
"That's your secret? Wow. Great"
"I'm stating a fact, okay. How could you"
"Wait, it's a secret? Haha, I'm sorry. I thought you're joking. But you got Yuki Kousei so tell him then"
"No, I won't"
Anne just be all ear in reticence with their confab. She does not want to make their blood boil again. Farah then asks if they are hungry, ergo she could give them the bread they put in her bag earlier. They instantly nod and take a sweet bun each in unison. They munch it tastefully without tearing their gaze from the bun. 'Whoa, whoa' Farah chuckles as they eat like hungry bitches that have to share food with their little puppies. Cute. Anne looks at her and lifts her left eyebrow. She could sense it thus remains plain cool.
"What?"
"Nothing..."
"Ain't nothing when you look at me like that"
"Like what?"
"You know what, nevermind"
"Alolo(comic mock), cutie cutie"
"The??! What's wrong with your brain today?"
Narrow brows are written on her front as Farah constantly teases her. The latter intertwines their hands to walk together but somehow it makes her grimace. She thought that Anne may be tired and her sprained ankle causes the peculiar long silence until now. What matters at this moment is resting since they barely sit the moment the day three tour begin. They reach their room after some steps, leisurely treading while looking at the Japanese workers working also the environment. Refresh the psyche.
Raja makes her favourite tea and gulps it down slowly while scrolling on her Twitter before going to sleep. She is the first one to doze off first because of Anne. Her sudden delusional paranoia makes this day more exhausting not only for her but Farah too. After showering, Farah goes to bed and slumbers followed by Anne, the last one getting her beauty sleep. With a guilty feeling, she slumbers.
