NISSIâS POV
My phone rings loudly as I grumbled within myself.. With my eyes closed I stretched my hand seeking for my phone..
âYeapâI sighed triumphantly after grabbing my phone..
Opening my eyes lazily as I shut them back due to the heavy brightness from my phone screen..
The phone stopped ringing and I sighed happily but my joy was short-lived when my phone began to ring again..
I lightened up my room at I sat down straight..
Why would Jayden be calling me so early in the morning??
I angrily rejects his calls as I toss my phone carefully on the dressing table..
Oooops!!!
Itâs 5.00amâŠ
I climbed off my bed as I entered into my bathroom doing my usual morning thing..
I glance at my phone briefly as I saw 10missed calls from Jayden..
I hissed as I shoved my phone inside my bag before I spraying perfume on myself..
âI wonât forget to get a new line todayâI spoke to myself..
Sitting down on my dressing chair, I began to apply make up on my face..
Fully satisfied with my make-up I grab my bag and a matching heels..
âGood morning Mom, Good morning DadâI greeted my parent..
âGood morning to you tooâMy parent answered chorusly..
âGood morning PaulâI greeted my brother embracing him
âYoku nemuretara Ä«noni?? (Hope you slept well??)â My brother Paul asked me..
âYes I didâI answered pecking him on his cheeks and he chuckled..
And we both sat beside each other..
Paul is my older brother but he speaks Japanese fluently..
Funny enough, my parent cannot speak Japanese as fluent as Paul does, but dad still understand it far better than mom..
âLetâs eatâmom spoke up as she sat down on her dinning chair..
âAno baka wa kyĆ anata ni denwa shimashita ka? ( Did that idiot call you??) Paul asked me chewing his food hurriedly..
âYes he did but I rejected all his callsâI answered
âYou need to buy a new line, appleâmy dad said to me and I nodded my head in agreement..
âI will dadâI added
âNisei what do you..âmom paused as I glared at her..
âNisei???âI questioned holding my spoon tightly
âIâm sorry I totally forgotâmom quickly pleaded..
I inhale and exhale a deep breath..
âItâs okay ma.. Nisei is my childhood nickname.. I shouldnât let my past ruin my future isnât it dad???â
âExactlyâDad answered
âThat is why Iâve decided to go hunting today and forge ahead with my lifeâ
âThatâs the spirit baby girlâPaul chipped in clapping his hands
âWhat will you be hunting child??âmom asked curiously
âJob hunting..âI replied as I chewed my toasted bread slowly
âAnd Iâll also personally get you a new lineâPaul said
âYouâre the best brother in the whole wide worldâ I blew him a kiss
âI canât trade you for anything baby girlâPaul added
âIâm happy for youâ mom said
âThanks Momâ
âWhat caused this sudden change of heart???âDad asked
âI donât know but Iâm glad to be backâI answered shyly
âI think is that mysterious dude you hang out with..âPaul blurted out
âPaul???âI glared at him
âIt just came out..â
âWhatever the reason may be, I donât really care.. All I want is for my Apple to be happyâDad spoke up
âThanks Dad.. Iâm working on it.. I promiseâ
âThatâs goodâmom added
âThanks for breakfastâI spoke to Mom and she nodded drinking her coffee
âEm.. Iâm also gonna be seeking for an apartment too as soon as I find a job.. Iâll be moving outâ
âDonât sound like thatâmom said looking sad
âThis is your home Apple..âdad added
âI know.. But you know I like being independent.. I promise to visit as possible as I can..â
âI hope you do.. Youâve changed alot..âDad pointed out
âI think I didâI said with uncertaintity
âWe all know you did.. But itâs a good kind of changeâPaul added and I smacked his back..
I start on my car engine.. immediately my phone began to ring..
I glance at the callerâs ID and itâs Fabian
âGood morningâhis deep husky voice greeted
âMorning, hope you slept well??â
âOf course I did.. Whatâs your plan for today??âhe asked me
âJob huntingâI replied smartly
âGood start.. I can helpâ
âThanks but I donât need connections to get a job..â
âYeah!! Thatâs true.. Youâre a qualified and intelligent lady with brainstorming ideas.. No smart company will turn you downâhe said
âIâll take that as a complimentâ
âIt is a compliment. Nissiâhe clarified
I love the way my name sound from his lips.. Nissi
âThanks..â
âCan we meet up for lunch??âhe asked
âAre you asking me out on a date???âI teased him
âOf course it is a date.. Or doesnât it sound like oneâhe asked me
âKind of.. Iâll text you if Iâm freeâ I replied
âOkay.. Meanwhile Iâll make preparation should incase youâre free. We really need to discuss some things.âHe said and I heart beats louder.
âThereâs nothing left unsaid..â
âI need to know what happened to you. I deserve to know. You promised to tell meâhe paused
âI promised to tell you if you find out my last name and my background. Which you havenâtâI answered as I chuckled softly
âOoohhh Nissi!! I can have your background checked without any stressâŠ
I do have contactsâŠ
But since you personally asked for it, Iâll personally do the research..
Be ready to open up to meâhe warned
âWhy are you so interested in knowing my past??âI asked
âBecause I feel your pain the moment I saw you drinking alone in the bar..â shared on whatsapp by Martino
âIt could be because I lost someone..â
âYou did loose someone.. Iâm not a kid Nissi.. I know what I saw..âhe paused as I tried not to remember those painful moment when he comforted me
âYou donât believe in love and I donât either.. You donât want a romantic relationship and I donât.. Whatâs holding you back..? I just wanna protect you. I wanna be your friendâ he asked
âI donât need friends and you do..âI pointed out mockingly..
He chuckled at my comment
âEveryone needs a friend..â he replied
âWhy are you so bent on becoming my friend??âI asked
âBecause I know what it feels like to be betrayed. I know what it feels like to be heartbroken.. I know what it feels like to be alone especially when we desperately needs a shoulder to cry on.. I know what it feels like to be backstabbed.. Itâs a rough road ahead and you are just beginning while I on the other hand Iâve been on this path for a long long timeâ
âI donât want to talk about my past for now.. I want to rebuild this little piece of life one step at a time..âI explained
âOkay.. You need time.. No problem but our date standsâ
âOkay!! See ya by noonâ
âOkayâhe hung up and i sighed..
He always have his way..
Unknowingly Iâve accepted his lunch date..
I laughed at myself..
FABIANâS POV
I stepped out of my car holding my brief case as I marched majestically into my building..
As usual all eyes are all me and it just boost my ego making me feel so special.. I think highly of myself..
I waved my hands to my employees as they greeted me while i make my way to my floorâŠ
âGood morning sirâ My PA greeted standing on her feet..
âMorning Janette. Be in my office in 20 minutes with all my schedule for today and come along with the applicants forms whom are qualified for the interviewâI instructed with a smile on my face
âYes sirâ She answered smiling mischievously at me..
âWhat???âI questioned
âYouâre smiling alot this morning, Sirâ She pointed out
âI have a reason to smile Janette..âI replied gesturing for her to sit down.
âIâm happy for you Sirâ
âThank youâI replied as i stride off to my office..
I heard a gentle knock as I glanced at my CCTV camera footage..
âCome in JanetteâI spoke up
âSir, hereâs the applicants forms you asked for and hereâs your schedule for today.. You have a lunch date with GP publishersâ
âCancel the lunch date. I have a date todayâI instructed
âYes Sir.. Iâll just put a call across to inform them about the change of plansâJanette said as she turned around and walked out of the my office closing my door gently..
Scanning through the applicants form.
I caught a glimpse of a very familiar face..
âNissi AkikoâI read through her form carefully..
Sheâs one of the selected candidates for an interview scheduled tommorow
I quickly called my assistant manager to come to immediately to my office.
âSirâJanette muttered earning my attention..
âThe meeting has been scheduled for tommorow noonâJanette said
âThatâs great.â
I wonât be around when Nissi will be interviewed.. So she wonât feel like I interfered with the results..
I heard a slight knock on the door
âIâll check who it is SirâJanette spoke up and I glanced at my laptop..
âThereâs no need for that.. Itâs Anderson, usher him inâ
Janette nods her head as she opened the door ushering him inside
âGood morning Sir, I was surprised my your urgent callâAnderson spoke up
âI want to ask for a favor.â
âHow may I be of help Sir??âhe asked
âI want the list of the final candidates after the interview before giving them the employment letterâI requested
âOkay sirâhe replied
âThatâs all for now.. You can get back to nowâ I dismissed them..
âJanetteâI called out
âSir!!âshe replied
âI need a cup of coffeeâ
âOkay Sirâ
Finally alone, I glanced at the form in my hand.. Captivated by her smile, I stared intensively at her passport..
âIâve never seen her smile like this beforeâI spoke to myself..
âIâm very curious to know who robbed her of this bright smile..âI muttered to myself..
The need to bring back this smile slowly consumed my heart..
I clicked on my laptop as I searched for her on FacebookâŠ
Nissi Akiko..
I clicked on her profile picture. She looked extremely beautiful without makeup.. And above all she looked happy..
Curiousity gets the best of me as I viewed on her uploaded photos and tagged pictures..
Most of her high school uploaded pictures, she wore less or no make up.. But from her University till date she looked quite classic, and sexily hot.. I saw some photos of her and her friends, some where her colleagues at her work..
I also saw pictures of her and her older brother and also of her mom and dad..
Her parent looked quite different..
They look more like Chinese or Japanese..
Nissi is a combination of her parent, she has most facial resemblance from her mom.. Her brown hair with a matching brown eyes obviously from her dad and also dimples..
She looks extravagantly beautiful..
Curiously I clicked on her brotherâs username from his tagged photos he uploaded Few months ago..
I viewed his profile and read carefully through it⊠I went back to her account and then I understood her background better..
Looking back at some of her pictures I noticed that most of her pictures and post has one particular #tag..
And Iâm so loving snooping around..
Iâve gat to find out what happened to this lively lady in these photos and I promise to bring her back..
No matter the kind of scheme I have to pull on her..
Iâve never felt so protective of anyone before but Nissi Akiko had manage to break through my defensive wall without her knowledge..
What is happening to me???
NISSIâS POV
The waitress directed me to my reserved table where Fabian booked for us..
I sat down as I searched through my bag for my phone as it rings loudly..
Jayden!!!
I sighed as I relunctanly accept the call..
âHelloâI spoke up
âWhere the hell have you been and why arenât you answering nor returning my calls??âhe shouted and I stare around as I struggled to remain calm..
âYouâve lost every right to question me. If you have nothing important to say then goodbyeâI said grinding my teeth angrily
âWait!!!âhe breathed out sounding eager.. If I donât know better I would say he sounded worried and needy
âWe need to talk.. Please hear me outâhe requested and it just pissed me off the more
âYou had alot of opportunities to explain and talk things through and you misused every damned opportunities you had.. I donât wanna talk anymoreâ
âYou canât continue to do this to me.. Iâll find you and then Iâll make you hear me outâhe threatened
âBe my guest..â
âIâve gat your location and Iâm coming for youâhe threatened and I hung up on him..
I matched angrily to the restroom as I glare at myself looking at the mirror..
D–n you Jayden!!
âYour days of controlling my life are over.. Jayden!âI spoke to myself
I wonât change my number..
I wonât hide like the guilty one..
I hate you Jayden..
I hate you so much for causing me so much pain..
âI hate you!!!âI shouted and a lady who walked in looked at me like Iâm crazy..
I flashed her by best innocent smile showcasing my sparkling white teeth..
She walked past me while I let out a deep calming breath..
I adjusted my make up before I stepped out of the restroom walking majestically to my reserved tableâŠ.
Conveniently sitting down on my sit.. I heard a very familiar husky voice saying..
âNiseiâAnd I freaked out shouting..
âJayden!!..â
