CHAPTER 4 MASAKI ICHIRO

" The sky is half blue

White clouds

Alone

Living in a memory

Lonely "

Alaska, present.

Seven years had passed. Since that night, Masaki Ichiro had never forgotten Andini. How could he forget her. She was so beautiful. He had been hooked on her since he was first introduced by his coworker Hasigawa Takahiro. In his memories, Andini's face was still stored. Her smooth face, round eyes, long eye lashes, thick eyebrows and her soft lips. Her skin was so smooth and pale yellow skin colored. Her tiny and fragile body seemed to have to be protected.

Meeting Sonata Andini seven years ago was something he was grateful for but at the same time he regretted.

He never knew that the meeting was the truth where he found his true love. True love that only happened overnight. The true love that he only met in one night.

That night, at the party, Masaki noticed her. Paying attention to every movement of her body. The way she spoke, the way she laughed, her soft voice and her smiling face were like all the happiness centered on her and left no one else.

She was so beautiful but natural. Not a glamour one. She was really Masaki Ichiro's type. He did like every single part of her.

" Is there really someone like her? " Masaki Ichiro asked himself.

" Ah, I'm hooked on her. "

He smiled, cursing himself why it's so easy to be attracted to a stranger he had just met for a while.

That night Masaki Ichiro focused his attention on Sonata Andini. He did not really enjoy parties because he really didn't like parties. He enjoyed what was seen in front of him. He enjoyed it. Enjoyed the every move that Sonata Andini makes.

Suddenly he noticed an oddity. From earlier there was indeed a man he didn't know who put something in Andini's glass and poured wine into her glass. Masaki Ichiro watched the man. He thought this guy must have bad intentions towards her. He watched the man who looked like he was trying to get close to her. But fortunately the people from the Indonesian Embassy did not seem to want to go home and were reluctant to leave her alone.

The man looked like he was waiting patiently to ambush his prey. Masaki Ichiro thought that he had to do something to protect Andini.

Then he said quietly to Hasigawa.

" Takahiro, I'll take her back to the hotel. Let me take her back. " he asked.

Hasigawa Takahiro smiled widely.

" Nani, Ichiro? " he teased Masaki Ichiro. It meant, " Why, Ichiro? ".

" Nandemonai !! " said Masaki Ichiro. It meant "Nothing.!!"

Masaki returned to focus his attention on Andini and the man.

Finally at midnight the invited guests said goodbye to go home. Masaki Ichiro immediately invited Hasigawa Takahiro to meet Andini when he saw her waving at Hasigawa. He had to get to her before that thug did.

" Looks like she's drunk. " Masaki Ichiro chuckled.

" Thank you for coming, Ms. Andini. We will take you back to the hotel. Mr. Masaki Ichiro will drive you back to the hotel. " said Hasigawa Takahiro.

" Oh, thank you, Hasigawa san. Don't bother, I can go home by taxi. " Andini replied.

But Masaki Ichiro immediately replied, " I will drive you to the hotel safely. Looks like you drank too much tonight, Ms. Sonata Andini. We don't want anything to happen to you. Your safety is our responsibility. Come on .. "

He helped Andini up and said goodbye to Hasigawa Takahiro.

During on the way back to the hotel. Masaki Ichiro tried to get her to talk about anything. But it seemed she only answered modestly. She looked like she felt very uncomfortable at the moment. He saw that sweat poured down her forehead and her body. Her dress started getting wet.

Suddenly she said softly unconsciously.

"Help me. Help me ... I don't know what happened to me. It feels like I'm drowning. I almost cannot breathe. Help me, Masaki San. Help me."

"I really knew what's happening to you." he said to himself.

Suddenly he felt like he was going to take advantage of this situation.

"Crap!! " he cursed to himself.

But he replied, "I'll help you."

"Evil!! " he cursed to himself again.

Finally they arrived at the hotel where Andini was staying. Masaki Ichiro carried her to Andini's room.

Took her and laid her on the bed.

"Are you going to take a shower?" he asked.

Andini nodded slowly.

"I'll prepare it for you." he said.

Masaki Ichiro helped her clean herself. Bathe her.

Andini cried trying to fight what she felt right now. She cried softly while in the bathroom.

"Something's wrong with me." she said.

" Indeed there was something wrong with you. " he thought.

In the end Andini was half conscious. She kept on babbling begging for help to free her from her desire.

"Masaki san, help me ... help me ... please ... Get me out of this pain. Help me." she said.

Masaki Ichiro gently dried her body with a towel. Then carried Andini to bed.

Masaki Ichiro took off his tie and threw it on the floor. He grabbed her face, looked at her gently.

"Are you sure about all this?"

She nodded obediently.

"Please .."

That night everything went as it should. As he predicted.

Then he grabbed her and kissed her gently. Enjoying every inch of her body. That night they enjoyed every second of that moment together. Spent the night alone with burning passion until morning comes.

And then he realized the worst is she's still virgin! Crap!!

Morning was approaching with its light peeking through the curtains.

Masaki woke up first, staring at the beautiful face in front of him. She was still asleep.

Then he touched her cheek gently. Trying to wake her up. She woke up because of his touch and smiled.

"Ohayo, Masaki san."

"Ohayo .."

He really wanted to kiss her so badly. But then he got ready to take a shower because he had to go on a trip abroad that afternoon. To go to Alaska. For worked.

Ten minutes later he came out from the bathroom and already dressed.

He sat on the bed. He looked a little confused. He lowered his head and asked Andini without looking to her. He rested on his chin, his eyes wandering.

" Were you still a virgin last night, Sonata san? Tell me. " he asked.

He already knew that Andini was a virgin last night. He only wanted to be sure.

Andini answered slowly.

" Yes. Is there something wrong? " she said.

Then he squeezed his hair and cursed softly.

" Dammit .. "

He never expected to bed a virgin. He didn't want that. He was a bastard. He did. During this time he often bedded with many women in his life but never a virgin. He just didn't want to feel guilty if he bedded a virgin. And now he felt guilty.

" Do you regret it? " Andini asked him.

"No. Of course not. The feeling was mutual. . It's just that I never thought that you were still a virgin. "

Then Andini said, " I've never done it with anyone other than you. This is the first for me. It is true that the feeling was mutual. I won't demand more of you. I'm thankful that you helped me for what happened last night. Free me from the pain that swept over me. Arigatou, Masaki san. Sayonara .. "

Then he left her without saying a word except, "Sayonara Sonata san."

That morning they said goodbye to each other.

It seemed they decided not to contact each other. But the words never spoken.

Andini told him that she would not demand anything after what happened last night. That meant Andini did not want his responsibility. She didn't want him.

He never thought that what happened that night would be something that would last in his whole life. He would never forget it. Even though he was in the deep forest he couldn't forget it. Every second of that wonderful moment.

He never expected it!
