Chapter Twelve
"Tomochi-san! Tomochi-san!" A voice called.
Tomochi went back to reality and saw Min tugging his coat.
"Oh, hello Min!" Tomochi greeted her.
"Tomochi," Aya said as she frowned, "Are you daydreaming again?"
"No, I was just remembering my past." Tomochi replied.
"I see," Aya said in a worried look, "So that's why you are pretty stiff like a statue that time."
Tomochi groaned as he rubbed his head.
"Aya," Min said, "how old are you? I'm 13."
"I...." Aya pondered.
"What do you mean 'I'?" Min said as she pouted.
"I can't say it!" Aya shouted.
"Why?" Min asked her.
"Everybody will know who am I!" Aya shouted.
"Just whisper it to me." Min said.
So Aya whispered her age to Min.
"I see then." Min said as she smiled.
"Uu~kuu..." Aya muttered as she smiled a little.
"Do you girls wanted to know how old am I?" Tomochi asked them.
"Go ahead." Aya said wearily.
"I'm 16." Tomochi said.
"Nice." Min said.
Just then Tomochi remembered their age at the past when they all first met.
"Aya, you're 9 when we first met, right?" Tomochi said.
"That's right." Aya said as she nodded.
"I'm 3 years old when I first met you and Aya." Min said.
Aya's eyes grew wider because she realized that she met these people before.
"I remember my childhood now and you're the people that I met before." Aya said as she cried because she's happy.
"Umm...Yes..." Tomochi said as he grew red.
"I just realized it today! I can't believe that we just met before!" Aya said as she ran to hug Tomochi and Min.
Tomochi dodged Aya and she crashed on a wall.
"Uu~kuu..." Aya groaned as she fell to her knees and rubbed her nose.
Aya stood up and angrily faced Tomochi, "Why did you dodge that reunion hug?"
Tomochi stared at her.
"Uu~kuu! You just ruined the happy moment, you idiot!" Aya shouted as she covered her nose.
"It's not my fault. It's your fault." Tomochi said.
"How could you! It's your fault! You dodge my hug and I crashed and broke my nose." Aya sobbed as she saw blood in her mittens.
Min went to Aya and gave her a warm hug, "That's okay, Aya. I think Tomochi doesn't have the mood to be united."
"Okay?" Aya angrily shouted as warm tears ran down to her cheeks, "I won't say sorry because he did it."
"Look, Aya, you don't understand," Tomochi sighed, "I don't want to have some reunion moments right now. I'm not in the mood right now. I dodge you because I thought you're going to knock me down."
Aya cried as she look up so her nose would stop bleeding.
"Tomochi-san," Min said, "You must say sorry to Aya."
"Alright," Tomochi said as he hung his head, "I'm sorry."
"I forgive you too." Aya said as she is still looking up.
After her nose stopped bleeding, Aya hugged Tomochi.
"Oh..." Tomochi turned red as he hugged her back.
"Aww... That's sweet." Min smiled as they watched them.
Tomochi went back to reality and saw Min tugging his coat.
"Oh, hello Min!" Tomochi greeted her.
"Tomochi," Aya said as she frowned, "Are you daydreaming again?"
"No, I was just remembering my past." Tomochi replied.
"I see," Aya said in a worried look, "So that's why you are pretty stiff like a statue that time."
