Looking For Murder
You lied to me, Geo

30 Minutes later Keiko arrived at her apartment. Once in the apartment lobby, an employee who took care of the apartment greeted him.

“None Keiko. Good morning”.

“Good morning Miho”.

“You just came home, Miss?”

“That's it, Miho”. Keiko approached the reception desk where Miho was on duty. “Oh yes as long as I go, is someone looking for me?”

“Nothing, Nona”.

“Alright, Miho. Thank you”.

“Sama-sama, Nona”.

Keiko left Miho's desk with a slightly disappointed face.

“Beware Keiko. Who do you expect to find you?”. Keiko murmured in the heart.

Keiko stepped foot towards her unit on the 3rd floor. He chose to climb the stairs in the corner of the hall. The stairs of the apartment that has the type of cotemporary style, he followed one by one quickly. It didn't take long, Keiko had arrived at her unit. Rushing he opened the door and headed for his room to change into work clothes. Dress as necessary, after which he immediately grabbed his briefcase. Insert the power bank in the nightstand drawer into the bag. After putting on the jacket and shoes, Keiko quickly opened the apartment door. When the door was opened, a tall man was already at the door, with his hands about to knock. Keiko's eyes were perfectly rounded as soon as she saw the man.

“You.... “.

“Halo Keiko”. With a smile broadening.

“What are you doing here?”. With a cold face.

“I happen to pass. I think because I haven't seen each other in a long time, I stopped by. Here I bring breakfast to us”. The man lifted the paper bag he was carrying with his left hand.

“Sorry I'm late. I can't accompany you breakfast”. Keiko closed the apartment door and locked it.

“Keiko.” The man held onto Keiko's hand intending to leave her.

“Can you let go of your hand, Tuan”.

“Ok. Ok. I'm sorry” The man raised both his hands to chest height. “ I don't want to make a fuss here. My intention is to come just to have breakfast with you. I bought 2 boxes of katsu sando* for us to eat this morning. Can't you be a little generous to me ? For the sake of our past?”.

“I'm sorry Mr. Geoffrey Lafayette. I'm in a hurry. So I can't accompany you breakfast”.

“Alright then. Take this with you. At least you can eat it on trip”. He handed the paper bag he had brought to Keiko.

“Sorry I can't take it”. Keiko steps her foot away from Geo. Geo desperately followed Keiko who was a few steps ahead of him.

“I beg. Accept ”. Geo pulled Keiko's wrist and placed the paper bag handle on her ex-wife's palm. Keiko's footsteps stopped. His eyes looked at the paper bag that had moved into his hands.

“I didn't mean bad to you. I did happen to pass by. So I stopped by, you guys saw you. We haven't met for a long time. I'm glad you're okay after our breakup. I will feel very guilty, if there are bad things that happen to you because of me”.

“Master need not worry. I'm doing fine. Thank you for worrying about me. I'm really late. Sorry I have to go” soon. Keiko left the man behind her.

“Then, let's go down equally”.

“Ya. It's up to you". They went down together to the 1st floor. Keiko chose to use the stairs, followed by Geo a step behind her.

"Thanks for katsu sando nya”. Said Keiko later.

"Together". They also continued to walk down the stairs.

“I intend to go to Ikeda Hospital. Are you willing to accompany me there?” Tanya Geo broke the silence between them.

“Master wants to see who?”

“Not visit anyone. Just want to bring a parcel for the elderly who are there?”

“Hmm. Since when do you pay attention to the elderly?”

“Since Cho and her grandmother died?” The sentence that Geo uttered without burden, stopped Keiko's footsteps. He twisted his body, looking at Geo who was a step behind him.

Geo who felt guilty looking at Keiko's unreadable eyes, hurriedly gave an explanation.

“I'm sorry. Ever since our quarrel, I've known Cho. I almost married that woman. Cho is a very nice woman. Only she took her own way to make sure her dementia-stricken grandmother got the best care. During his life he always gave gifts to the elderly who were there. I just want to continue the good habits of that woman”. Geo was silent for a moment. “So. Can you accompany me?”

“Hemm. I don't know. My job in the hospital is a lot. I can't promise you”.

“Oh so. Next time if you have time, will you go with me?”

“Will I think about it later, Mr.”

“Good. Thank you, Keiko. I'll wait for good news from you".

They arrived in the basement and separated shortly afterwards, riding in their cars.

Keiko drove her car to the hospital slowly. Keiko who had not filled her stomach with any food, suddenly felt hungry. Not wanting to risk eating while driving, Keiko immediately pulled her car over to the shoulder of the road. He took out a box of katsu sando from a paper bag that he placed in the passenger seat next to the steering wheel. As soon as the paper box was opened, the distinctive aroma of the sandwich tempted him. He immediately took a piece of katsu sando and then bit the Japanese sandwich and chewed it slowly. As soon as the food entered his mouth, his eyes froze. Clear details dripped from the corner of his eye. Keiko looked at katsu sando the remaining bite that was in her hand.

“It's still the same as it used to be. You lied to me Geo. You purposely met me with a sandwich made by you”.

Soon she wiped away the tears that had slid down her cheeks.

“No. I can't cry about it anymore. Enough already my heart is hurt because of it.”

He put the rest of Katsu Sando back in his box. Pulling the porsnel and pressing the gas pedal, continue the journey to the hospital.
