Greatest Assassin
Chapter 38

Elena was surprised by Aiken's kiss, so she immediately took off the kiss.

"What are you doing!" Elena stood up and moved away from Aiken.

"Elena, you can't help yourself anymore. I know you love me, too, but I'm silent because maybe it'll take some time" said Aiken, he walked over to Elena, but the girl just stayed away from him.

"It's already night. You'd better get back to your apartment, Aiken," Elena opened the door to her room, allowing Aiken to come out.

"Elena, don't hide your feelings. It definitely won't take long" Aiken gently patted Elena's head, then walked out of Elena's apartment.

Tomorrow, Elena goes to the airport. He was booked at the airport and sat in the waiting seat. He looked at the plane ticket, the flight ticket to America for Elena tomorrow. Elena looked sad looking at the plane ticket, tears dripping on the plane ticket.

"Sorry, Takamura. I should be able to keep the promise to only always love you," he said, wiping his tears that kept dripping.

"But why when I met Aiken, I felt my closeness to you. Sorry, Takamura."

Elena's encounter with Takamura happened when they were ten years old. For three years they were always together, playing and going to the same school. Until the time they were thirteen years old ...

"Elena, you want to make an appointment with me?" takamura asked Elena as they played on the playground.

"Promised?" Elena's terrible forehead.

Takamura put his pinky on Elena. "Please promise me that when we grow up we will be together and love each other" Takamura smiled happily, as well as Elena.

Elena put her little finger on Takamura's little finger. "Yes! I promise!"

Three weeks had passed, but the whole day Elena had not met Takamura at school nor at their usual place of play, and it made her sad. Elena finally came to see Takamura's father.

"Uncle, where's Takamura? Is he home?" ask Elena.

Takamura's father crouched down and stroked Elena's head. "Sorry, Elena. Takamura is dead. Uncle knows this is sad, but uncle is also sad just like you," Elena was dumbfounded, her eyes round.

At first Elena still could not believe that Takamura had abandoned her, until Takamura's father finally showed Takamura's tomb. After that incident, Elena decided to move to America. Until he turned seventeen, he returned to Tokyo and attended high school there. If Elena recalled her past with Takamura, it would again make her sad and cry.

After leaving the airport, Elena went to visit Takamura's grave. He brought a bouquet of flowers and placed them in Takamura's tomb.

"Takamura, I'm sorry. I will try to stay loyal to you no matter what!"

While at school, Elena was having lunch in the cafeteria. Aiken was also in the cafeteria along with Alvin, he saw Elena back then.

"Buddy, what do you want to order?" alvin asked, but Aiken remained silent and focused on Elena.

"Oi!" Alvin shouted near Aiken's ears, making him flinch in shock.

"What's wrong?"

"What do you want to order?"

"I'm not hungry" said Aiken.

Aiken sighed softly, then he tried to approach Elena.

"Why are you eating here alone?" asked Aiken who was sitting in front of Elena.

"I'm used to it myself" Elena replied without looking at Aiken, she focused on her drink.

"Are you still mad at me?"

"Why should I be angry. That's not my right" said Elena.

"Elena, don't try to avoid me. It hurts me."

"You feel pain if you're away from me. But I was also sick when I got close to you and forgot my promise to Takamura," Elena stood up and left the cafeteria in annoyance.

Aiken bowed, he sighed softly. Then came Lucia and sat down with Aiken.

"You why?" ask Lucia.

"Can you not bother me first? I'm really sick of it!" irritatedly Aiken immediately left the canteen.

"I didn't do anything. Why are you playing!" lucia exclaimed at Alvin, they looked at each other sharply.

"Before you were never close to anyone. But why are you so close to Aiken? Whatdoyouwant?!"

"He's my girlfriend, I deserve dong!" lucia replied firmly, leaving Alvin shocked.

"Daughter?" Alvin rushes to meet Alvin who is sitting alone in the park near the school.

"Aiken up!" shout Alvin.

"Are you also going to bother me like that girl?" Aiken stared hard at Alvin.

"Calm down, man. I want an explanation from you!"

"explanation?"

"Are you dating Lucia?"

"Fake girlfriend," said Aiken casually.

"Why did you get to date her, even if you were just pretending?"

"He gave me money, yes I accept it" replied Aiken.

"If only Lucia had asked you to jump the abyss and continue to be given money. You want?"

"You go first. Obviously I refused, I must have died and the money would have been wasted" Aiken replied.

"I have to talk about this one more time with Elena. I don't want to lose him," inner Aiken.

At about seven in the night, Elena arrived at her apartment. But Aiken was already standing in front of Elena's apartment door, even she was still wearing her uniform. Elena ignored him, but Aiken kept following Elena.

"Why did you come in?!" exclaim Elena.

"Wait, Elena. I want to talk to you about this well" said Aiken.

"You're out of my apartment!" elena exclaimed, she immediately entered her room and closed the door tightly.

Aiken knocked on the door of the room, hoping Elena would open the door.

"Elena, listen to me first! I really don't want you to stay away from me!" exclaimed Aiken while continuing to knock on the door.

"Aiken, I want to stay away from you. You better forget me too!"

"It's not that easy for me, Elena! I won't forget you, Elena!"

"I don't want this feeling to last, I don't want it!" elena exclaimed, she cried, and sat on the floor. The door was unlocked, Aiken was finally able to enter.

Aiken immediately hugged Elena warmly. "Elena, please don't ever say that you're leaving me. I don't want to leave you, Elena!"

Elena wiped her tears, she stood up.

"I just want to keep this promise."

Aiken held onto both of Elena's shoulders, he looked into Elena's eyes.

"Are you going to stay like this until you're old?! You also need people who will continue to be with you, and Takamura will definitely think the same of you, too" Aiken said.

Aiken hugged Elena tightly, Aiken dropped Elena on the bed, Elena seemed resigned as she was lying on the bed. Aiken brought her face closer to Elena.

"Elena, I don't want to forget you or stay away from you, and always remember this!"

Aiken loosened his tie, he also took off his alma mater suit and threw it on the floor. Elena shed her tears, she touched Aiken's face.

"I love you, and will still love you," Aiken said in a soft tone, holding Elena's hand.
