疑い

Feeling a slight pang in her chest, her fingers continued to fidget on her phone screen. The setting sun's rays hitting her petite figure, she sighed heavily as she heard the same words again coming from the phone.

' The person you are trying to reach is unavailable at this time. Would you like to leave a message? '

Her eyes flickered with frustration as she bit her lower lip. The exact same sentences I've been hearing for three hours.

Slowly she felt a familiar emotion creeping into her heart almost similar to the changing setting, gloom. As she felt the emotion continuing to invade her system, she nervously pressed the button.

Clearing her throat, she tried so hard not to make her voice crack while she make the message. Her indigo-orbs began to heat up but she immediately shook her head, stopping whatever attempt her system was trying to do.

Don't cry, Aoi. He always does this. He'll say sorry tomorrow.

But the fear of making him angry again because she didn't wait for him, trespassed in her system. Causing her already in chaos system to panic even more. S-Should I--

wait again?

Even if I had I hunch that he wouldn't really come for me like always?

She cleared her throat again, trying to make the lump on it go away and she successfully did it. But she knows that it wouldn't last long.

Aoi sighed heavily, placing the phone beside her right ear. She blinked a little when the cold-evening wind blew against her face.

About to finally speak, when the wind hit her face again, as if it was trying to stop her.

So she quietly looked around, her indigo-irises traveling at the view having a cold atmosphere yet still blending with warm hues amongst the skies. Aoi then focused back on the phone, recording what she'll be saying to the receiver.

She breathes heavily, trying really hard not to stutter. . .

"H-Hey, Souta-kun. . ." But she failed at the very start.

"I-I'm still here."
