The bright light flowed through the slightly curtained window. When it hit the brunette's closed eyes, its intensity caused her to open them immediately. She got up from her bed and after taking a nice long shower, she walked down to open her shop.
Just when she was about to put her hands on a bey, to fix it, her cellphone started to vibrate. Just as she thought, it was Hikaru, her best friend.
"Morning Madoka." Hikaru greeted from one end of the phone.
"Hi Hikaru." Madoka greeted back.
"Opened the shop?" Hikaru asked.
"Yes," Madoka replied.
"So… it is another day, and I think you should take a brand new start."
"What do you mean?" Madoka asked, confused.
"Oh come on Madoka. You know exactly what I mean."
"No, I don't." Madoka assured.
"How long do you think you can hide it from him?" Hikaru cocked an eyebrow.
"Hikaru… I don't know."
"Oh you know very well, my dear. You know about your crush on Gingka! How long will you hide it?" Hikaru spoke. Gingka… That name makes her heart beat faster than a rocket. Those eyes of his make her get lost in a world of complete fantasy. Those smile of his makes her flutter and send butterflies to her stomach. Yes it was true that Madoka Amano, the famous bey mechanic was madly in love with Gingka Hagane, the famous legendary blader. And only one person knew about her crush on him, and that was Hikaru.
"I'm not sure Hikaru. What if he doesn't feel the same way?" Madoka snapped back to reality.
"Firstly, he is an extremely sweet person. Even if he does not feel the same way, he will make sure that you don't get hurt. And secondly, this won't happen because I am damn sure that he loves you back because I've seen that spark in his eyes when you're around." Hikaru winked.
"You think so?" Madoka beamed, dropping the bey in her hand.
"I know so. So I'll pick you up at five today and we're going for some serious shopping."
"Shopping? Again?" Madoka asked, annoyed a bit.
"We have to pick a dress for your date." Hikaru stated.
"Funny. I haven't even asked him yet." Madoka chuckled.
"Oh but you will be going on a date in a day or two, so there's no time to waste."
"By the way Hikaru, when are you going to get a guy?" Madoka asked out of nowhere.
"M-me? I…I'm fine on my own. You don't need to worry about me." Hikaru ensured, but little did Madoka know that her best friend was deeply in love with a certain someone, but she never mentioned it to anyone. Anyone at all!
"Oh really…?" Madoka raised an eyebrow. "Okay then, five it is?"
"Yes, be ready at five." Hikaru said, as she hung up the phone.
Madoka sighed as she went back on repairing beys. When her beautiful ocean blue orbs landed on the blue colored Beyblade, Pegasus; a very familiar face appeared in her mind.
This is the time. I should confess now. Don't know what fate has decided for me, but whatever it is, I will face it. Madoka thought, determination building up in her body. Right now, she had so much courage inside her, that if Gingka was here, she would've been over with the confession even.
At exact 5 pm, Hikaru started buzzing the car's horn, waiting for Madoka to come out.
"This girl needs to learn some patience." Madoka growled before locking the Bey-Pit and sitting on the car's front seat.
"Hold your horns!" Madoka grumbled, causing Hikaru to laugh hysterically.
"You should come at the right time, you know." Hikaru countered back.
"Well, it takes some time you know." Madoka retorted.
"Oh well… So we're going to the new store that opened recently. I've heard they have all the brands." Hikaru informed, trying to change the topic into a friendly one.
"Really? Let's go!" Madoka was one of the personalities that can't stay mad at anyone for so long. Talk something friendly, and she'll be the completely opposite Madoka she was a few minutes ago.
Upon reaching the store, Madoka and Hikaru got off the car after parking it right in front of the shop. Madoka's jaw dropped when she saw all those branded clothes displayed on the hangers.
"Pick one. I'm buying." Hikaru winked towards the brunette, whose lips turned into a smile.
After trying on several dresses, Madoka finally liked one. It was a full sleeved black top with an M written on it. She thought it was perfect. Maybe Gingka would like it too. She blushed at the thought.
When she came out of the try room, she twirled in front of Hikaru, who beamed, "This one's perfect Madoka. It fits you right, and totally suits you."
"Thanks. So this one it is." Madoka made up her mind.
The two girls were talking about other dresses when a very familiar figure entered the shop. It was Tsubasa.
"Hi girls! Shopping time, eh?" Tsubasa asked, looking at the two girls and glancing at Madoka's expensive dress.
"H-hey. How come y-you're here?" Hikaru stuttered a little. She didn't know why this happened, but it just did.
"I actually came to see Madoka. I need to see you at night." Tsubasa pointed towards Madoka before leaving the shop.
"Okay Mr. Director." Madoka laughed. Hikaru watched him as he trailed off without saying a word to her.
"Why does he need to see you?" Hikaru raised an eyebrow at the small brunette.
"Must be having some work piled up for me. Why else would he be here?" Madoka exclaimed, as she went back on trying a few more dresses.
After picking a few dresses, the two friends parted ways as Hikaru dropped Madoka home. It was a nice day and Madoka had a lot to think about tonight.
Madoka was, as usual, repairing the beys late at night, when she heard a soft knock on the door.
Who could it be this late? Madoka thought, as she remembered Tsubasa asking her to meet him at night. She mentally slapped herself for not going to the WBBA herself to meet the Director.
When she opened the door, it revealed the same figure she had been expecting to be.
"Tsubasa? I am extremely sorry for-"
"No worries. I needed to see you. Not that you needed to see me." Tsubasa confirmed.
Madoka sighed as she let the Eagle wielder in.
"So? You're here to keep me busy for the night?" Madoka laughed, causing the silver haired man to look up at her in confusion.
"I mean, you do have some unfinished work, don't you?" Madoka explained.
"No. I came to visit you. Does it always have to be some work?" Tsubasa stretched as he was seated on the couch.
"I thought there must be some work that you needed to see me. Anyway, so is there something important that you want to tell me?" Madoka asked as she sat beside him on the blue couch.
"Actually, there is something very important that I want to tell you." Tsubasa said, as he took Madoka's hand. "Ever since I met you, I wanted to be your guy. Let me tell you tonight, that I love you with all my might." Tsubasa sang a little as he brought Madoka's hand close to his heart.
Madoka mentally screamed from inside, her face totally blank and fully expressionless. She didn't know what to say. On one side, she thought about Gingka, while on the other side, she thought about Tsubasa.
"…Well?" Tsubasa couldn't wait any longer. It had been one whole minute since she was staring at him with empty eyes. They didn't reflect anything. Happiness, sorrows, love, hatred…nothing!
"I…I don't know what to say. I think it's time that I must tell you that I like-"
"I know." Tsubasa didn't let her finish her sentence. He already was aware of the fact that Madoka likes someone else- Gingka to be exact. "But please Madoka; would you give me a chance? I mean, you never even confessed to Gingka, did you?"
"It's getting pretty late. How about I answer your question tomorrow? Let me think over it, and then I'll let you know." Madoka declared.
Tsubasa sighed, "Sure. Take your time. I know this is a first for you, so yeah, take all the time you want." Tsubasa said, hoping for a quick reply.
"Goodnight." Madoka lead him to the main entrance and watched him disappear into the foggy night. What should she do? Accepting Tsubasa's proposal has its own pros and cons. If she says yes to him, then she'll never get Gingka, who is the actual target of her life. But on the other hand, Tsubasa has a great personality. He is a true gentleman. Anyone would've accepted his proposal.
What should I do? What should I do? Madoka kept thinking, until an idea popped up in her mind. That's right! I'll talk to Hikaru about this. She will definitely give me a better advice.
"Madoka? Why did you call so early?" Hikaru asked, in her sleepy voice.
"I just have the biggest news!" Madoka declared.
"What? Gingka came over yesterday and slept beside you?" Hikaru rubbed her eyes, not really thinking what she was saying as she was really sleepy.
"N-no." Madoka blushed. "Tsubasa came over last night and confessed to me." Her voice contained both excitement and confusion.
"HE WHAT?" Hikaru shouted as her eyes burst open, when she deliberately dropped her phone, confusion and regret taking all over her.
A new project! How was it? Review please. Also, critics are welcomed.
