Misunderstanding

Haruto POV

Kei arrived at 10:30. 90 minutes earlier than expected time...It is not that surprising it's her.

She always came earlier before 30 minutes and always perpared before hand...So it's not surprsing she came earlier....But even so why 90 minutes earlier...it's lot weird even for hard planner like her.

She is sitting there with both palms in her thigh...she is wearing a sailor uniform with a ribbion tied on her dress between her breasts

I went to the table she is sitting and sit near her and I called her "Hello"

"Eee" She fell down from her seat and she got hurt, I guess I have taken out by surprise...A really bad move from me

She recoiled from the pain and stood and looked at me while fixing her glass " Haruto-kun it's you...I thought it was some other guy and I got scared " She said while trying to fix her skirt

"Come on...Aren't you being too much paranoid. No one would attack you in daylight with so many people around " I replied

Although I think anyone wouldn't try anything on a girl, but I persisted because I need to comfort her, and I need to spread positivity to her.

The thing is that Kei is overthinking, overcautious and too hard on herself. So I need to reassure her, even though it may or may not happen, we can't create the worst case scenarios out of somewhere like that. I realized the value and how wrong it is when after staying long in the hosipital. 

Some people are in worse condition than me, better fix what I still have.

"Sorry I didn't realize that I spooked you. I was just trying to surprise you " I said while trying to make it seem casually.

She shakes her head in a cute way "No...It's alright. I guess I overreacted a bit " She spoke while she sat in the chair opposite to me. She looks embressed and avoids my gaze

"So I want to talk about what happened when I was out cold in the hosipital. I don't know what happened but try to explain everything " I told her.

I know it's not a good question and asking about everything seems shallow thing to ask.

"Heh! Nothing much. We just attended classes and have club meetings as usual. I feel bit lonely without you... to be honest" She says while tapping the table...It's a habit of her. She will tap the table whenever she is nervous or feel restless.

Wait...'Having club meetings as usual' Something feels off

"You guys had club meetings as usual right...Does that include Ayumi " I asked her...That can't be right. She was with me the whole day...and She didn't even text me. I assumed she is dead or went missing.

"Yeah! She is there but.....Why do you she is present.. " She said in a confused tone.

"Maybe...you misremembered or mistook it...I am asking about her being with you guys when I was absent from the club " I asked her

What's going on, why she is acting normal when something big happened few days back...Does she is not concerned about me. Maybe that was a trap....

"No she is present...And she was never absent during our club meetings....But Haruto...Why are you asking all these " She spoke in a little bit serious tone.

I can't say we both went on a date and love hotel...I feel like a disaster will happen so I choose my words carefully " Um she didn't even text or call me when I was out cold and it seemed cold behaviour from her " I replied back.

That really rhymed well...I guess I could be a good writer or a poet myself

"Haruto....You shouldn't concern yourself with the people who doesn't concern or care about you.."

"You always care about the girls who treat you like shit and ignore the girls who are concerned about you ..That's bad thing Haruto-kun, you should change. " She said with a little venom on her tone.

Why does she seem pissed of, I never did something like that " Kei, I never ignored you...I didn't do nothing like that recent days " I replied honestly

"Then, stop asking about other girls when you invite me on a date. " She replied as she looks little angry. Even though she is angry she seemed adorable, maybe it's a side effect of growing close to a woman.

"Kei...Actually that statement is false... Because I never ignored the girls that are concerned about me...Although You seem overprotective and bit paranoid. I love the way you worry about me...I really wish I can make a wife out of you " I replied...It might have sounded too corny but it is true...

I love the way she worries over the tinest details especially those who are close to her....Even I said my honest feelings it might seem like a horny guy trying to get lucky with the hot girl. I don't care how people think of us...But as long as she is fine with it...So I made a brave decision

I peeked a glance at her

She is covering her face. Her ears are red and she mutters incomprehensible words...

Our conversion has went from childhood friends talk to quick become awakard...I said many things which she misintrepted...Maybe a miscommunciation happened as I don't form my sentences correctly

To be fair I didn't communicate properly and I feared this may happen...I thought maybe I shouldn't be too open....But I persisted

Although a miscommunication happens and misunderstandings happens I should say what I want to say before it's too late and have proper communications with people before too late

Maybe this is why parents and elder relatives are so important as they will teach and groom us to how to behave properly and form correct communication and good behaviours...Maybe this is how guys like me who are rejected by their parents suffer and remain like this.
