Sunday night, it was three more sleeps before Christmas. Keinichi sat on the sofa on Cacha studio apartment while looked coldly at her.
"Oniichan, sorry.. I am late. Look, I bought some burger for our dinner" She coaxed him with her sweet.
He sneered "you neglected me for two days and bribing me with Burger" in the last two days, they hardly spent day together. She told him that she had things to do.
"Ah.. My boyfriend is very cool even when he is upsad" She kissed her cheek.
He chuckled as he kissed her back. Once they lips were apart, she grinned happily that her trick worked. Actually, it was not her trick, she learned it from her brothers and her sister in laws.
"Where did you go today ? did you go with the girls again ?"
She shook her head "Me ? going with them ? Oniichan, they asked me to join them because they want to give you Christmas present to impress you. Do you think I am very generous to let them courting my boyfriend"
"So, what did you do ?"
She grinned. Instead of answering him, dhe took the burger and fed him"Oniichan, this burger is very yummy, try it. open your mouth AA, ".
He rolled his eyes as she treated him like a little child. Nonetheless, he obediently opened his mouth.
"Oniichan it's yummy, right ?"
"Not bad. Here, you have to eat too" He took another one and fed her. At the end of the night, He did not manage to find out what she did.
The Company that Keinichi and Cacha worked, had tradition to have christmas break from christmas eve until the second day of new year. So, monday was the last day before Christmas break. The office was rather very quite because many people had taken their Christmas break earlier. Cacha and Keinichi were the only people on the office when a group of girls came.
"Keinichi.. Merry Christmas" the leader of the group smiled as she gave him a present.
Keinichi stared at the girl coldly "Sorry, My fiancee doesn't allow me to receive anything from other woman. She is very scary when she is angry. So, take it away otherwise I'll put it on the bin"
The girls face turned ugly, she took her present back and left the room moodily. She was not the first one. Infact, or the last two week, Keincihi had turned down at least one present for him. He also threw away many gift that left on his desk.
"Oniichan, should you do in that harst way ?" She felt sorry for the lady.
"well.. I have no choice. I can not afford to offend my girlfriend"
"why ? Am I really scary ?"
"Yes. you won't let me kiss you, it's very scary" He smirked
"Shameless.. Oniichan getting more annoying by days" She turned her face around to hide her blushed.
He laughed "Lets go home"
Next day was Christmas eve, shopping centres were very bussy as they were swamped by last minutes shopper around. Cacha went had to squeeze with them. She did not do any shopping, she was there to pick up a cake that she specially ordered for Keinichi. Since it was Christmas eve, they could not go out for dinner either so she decided to have hot pot at home.
Keinichi was packing his clothes with sour face. His girlfriend was ignoring him again, she did not show her face this morning nor even called him. He waited until around lunch time before he came to her place. However, it was empty. He called her to find out where she was, she did not pick up her phone.
5 O'clock in the afternoon, Cacha wore a pink dress that she bought it few days ago. She put a light make up and also lipstick on. She also tied her hair in half bun casually. She rechecked everything on the dinning table "Dinner ready, Cake is here. only the star is missing".
She looked her reflection on the mirror once again before heading to his apartment.
When She opened the door, Keinichi had finished packing. He sat on the sofa while working on his taptop and ignored her deliberately.
"Oniichan... " She called him sweetly as she tapped her shoulder and sat next to him. But he was ignoring him
"Oniichan..." She called him again.
He just made a MM sound and kept ignoring her.
She twitche and wishered on his ear "Oniichan, Am I look pretty ?".
He turned his gaze to her and flabbergasted. She was very beautiful. However, He masked him face with 'don't care attitude'
"New dress ?"
"Yes, It was on sale. don't worry this is not a branded one"
"Are you going some where ?" He asked casually.
She shook her head then paused for two second and nodded "and you come with me"
She stood up and pulled him with her.
"Where are we going ? I need to take my winter coat"
"No need"
she dragged him out of his place. Keinichi let her guide him, h
e was curios what she would take him to.
She opened her door "Come in".
"Why ?"
"Come in !" She commanded him again and pushed him inside.
She sat on the sofa and used her hand to gestured him to come closer. He chuckled as he saw a cake on the table. He actually forgot today waa his own birthday.
He sat down on the sofa and smiled while she lighted up the candle "Happy birthday Oniichan..." then she gave him a big hug.
He laughed as he kissed the crown of her head "Do you specially dress up for me ?"
"I do. come on, make a wish and blow the candle"
"Don't want to"
"You have too"
"Alright" He closed his eyes and made his first birthday wish in more than 20 years. Then, he blew the candle while she sang happy birthday song for him.
"Why the cake is so small ?"
"Because we are going on holiday tomorrow"
"Right, you eat them by your self"
"No. I special ordered it for you. You love coffee so I ordered extra strong tiramisu cake. "
He kissed her forehead "Thank you"
