Awakening

Chapter 214 Contradiction Part 3

 

Hearing this, Take Asasei excitedly asked: “Is this true?”

Kazumi nodded her head and then said: “Just this once and never again.”

“Thank you, Kazumi.” Take Asasei very happily hugged her.

Looking at his slightly pale face on the mirror, Ogata Yasuda wryly smiled, the man in the mirror instantly followed with a rueful smile.

Crazy, I must be crazy. I have never waited for anyone for more than ten minutes. But, I actually sit here for a day and a night, just to wait for that woman who is impossible to appear. Perhaps to keep myself going, I numb my body with my masochistic tendency.

Coming out from the restroom, Yasuda returned to his seat. The coffee on the table has been replaced with water. Because he felt that if he continues to drink, he may really be poisoned because of high caffeine.

Looking at his watch, he found that it was already ten o’clock in the evening. However, to him, there was no difference between ten o’clock in the evening and ten o’clock in the morning. Right now, he was not only waiting for that woman, he also wanted to know when the idea of “give up” will appear in his mind.

At this time, a person came up. Thinking that it was the waitress who wanted to refill his glass of water, Yasuda closed his eyes, too lazy to take a look.

After a while, he felt strange that he has yet to hear the sound of someone pouring the water. When he opened his eyes, he saw the cold look of a woman standing next to the table looking at him.

“Kazumi!” Ogata Yasuda stood up, showing his “I can’t believe this” look.

After slowly pulling the chair opposite of him, Kazumi sat down.

Ogata Yasuda watched from the side as she sat down.

Looking at his slightly messy suit and a bit tilted hair, Kazumi started to believe that he was really here for a day and a night.

“May I ask your order?” A waitress came up and asked. While asking, she quietly sized Kazumi up, to see what this girl, who can make this guy wait for a day and a night, really look like.

“No need, thank you,” Kazumi replied.

The waitress looked at the handsome man, only to find that he was staring at the girl as if he did not hear her at all, so she had to bitterly walk away.

“Kazumi, you’re finally here.” Ogata Yasuda dryly coughed and said.

“Why are you looking for me?” Kazumi coldly said.

“Has anyone ever told you that you really look beautiful in a dress?” After a moment of silence, Ogata Yasuda suddenly said something senseless.

Kazumi frowned, “You asked me out just to say this silly thing?”

“Kazumi, I like you, would you like to be my girlfriend?” Ogata Yasuda suddenly grabbed her right hand and said.

Kazumi angrily pulled her hand, stood up and ready to leave.

Ogata Yasuda hastened to stand in front of her and said: “Kazumi, I really mean it, please give me a chance okay?”

“I told you, I don’t want to waste my time to play this silly game with you, get out of my way.” Kazumi coldly looked at him.

Yasuda held her shoulders and excitedly said: “This is not a game, I really like you.”

“If you don’t let go of me, I won’t be polite anymore.”

Seeing the anger in Kazumi’s eyes, Yasuda immediately loosened his hands and said: “Kazumi, please let me explain it clearly to you, okay?”

Looking at his serious face, Kazumi thought for a moment and finally slowly returned to her seat.

Overjoyed, Yasuda quickly sat back to his seat, collected his thoughts and then said: “I can personally guarantee that this is not a game. I admit, at first, I pursued you just so that I can get back at you. But slowly, I discovered that I really like you. Kazumi, please give me a chance? I mean it.”

Kazumi said nothing, just quietly watching him. In this silent atmosphere, Ogata Yasuda felt an unprecedented tension.

After a while, Kazumi finally spoke, “I refuse.”

Ogata Yasuda’s facial expression changed; He said: “I am not asking you to be my girlfriend now, but only to try to accept me, is this too much to ask?”

Kazumi calmly said: “Honestly, until now I still can’t believe that you would like an ordinary woman like me. But even if it’s true, my answer will still be the same. Therefore, please don’t come looking for me in the future.”

“Why?” Yasuda could not help but become emotional.

“Not every question has an answer. Tell you one thing, the reason I came to this appointment is because little Take had cried and begged me to do it. She had twice secretly come to see you. Even if you had done that excessive thing to her, she still has such a concern for you; Do you know what kind of girl that you hurt?” With that, Kazumi stood up and walked out.

This time, Yasuda did not stop her, just staring at her back as she left.

After a while, he suddenly shouted at her back: “I will not give up.”

Kazumi walked out of the restaurant as if she did not hear anything.
After she walked out of the restaurant, Ogata Yasuda feebly sat down.
