Real reason for the visit

She grabs it and answers, "It might be because the person might not have washed his face properly."

As soon as he hears her answer, he begins to laugh like crazy.

Mali could not believe her answer was wrong.

She quickly opens the paper.

Susumu takes it away.

"What happened?

Why did you take it away?"-Mali asks.

"You lost your chance.

Now, let me sleep."-Susumu replies.

"There is no need to hide it.

I know my answer is the one you wrote in the note."-Mali replies confidently.

"How are you so sure about it?"-Susumu asks.

"I am just sure."-She lies.

Five minutes before,

Susumu wrote the answer with his left hand, tears the part from it,

and gives it back to her.

He has left the magazine open.

While holding the piece,

she peeked at the magazine and saw clearly on the next page what he had written,

As he had written the answer, holding the pen with a grip.

Right back to the present time,

Yamamoto judges, "Sigh, my trick didn't work on her."

"Okay, you won."-He responds.

"Yeah, I won."-She exclaims.

"Shh! Do not make a noise."-Susumu orders her.

"Okay.

So, Let us start with your introduction as I have already introduced myself to you."-Mali suggests to Susumu.

"My name is Yamamoto Susumu.

About my introduction,

I am a person who likes animals more than humans.."-Susumu introduce himself.

"Hi, Mr Yamamoto.

Why are you travelling to Thailand?"-Mali asks.

"Does not she read the news?"-Yamamoto mumbles.

"I am travelling because of work."-Yamamoto answers her while looking at her.

"Hmm, I do not think so."-Mali speaks aloud.

"Why?"-Yamamoto asks her.

"It was just my gut feeling."-Mali answers back immediately.

Yamamoto Susumu did not exchange a word for a while.

"I do not think I should be telling you this but, I do not believe we'll meet again.

So, let me tell you the real reason."-Susumu replies.

Mali nods in excitement.

"But you might laugh after hearing my real reason."-Susumu hesitates.

"Do not worry I, will not laugh.

It's pretty hard for me to laugh.

I promise you."-Mali assures him.

"I am visiting Thailand because of a girl I met on the internet.

But we have seen each other photos."

Susumu puts a hand in his side pocket and takes out an old functioning phone,

"I went to many troubles fixing this.

Just two days ago, I made this phone functional.

It had been unfunctional for eight years.

After eight years, I was able to see her face again."

Mali interrupts, "Woah! Hold on, mister.

Why go through this extensive trouble when you could have just gone to any social media platform for searching for her?

I assume, if you guys have exchanged pictures then, you assuredly have exchanged each other names."

Yamamoto Susumu stays calm and answers, "I got frightened that she would see me as a stalker if I go search for her.

More importantly, at that time, I wanted to understand if the feeling I had. Will it stay like this even after eight years as I had promised?

If I do not search for her on the internet?

I know I would have easily searched for her but, I wanted to test my feeling.

And it looks like I was right about my feeling towards her."

Mali apologizes,

"I am sorry for hurting your feeling.

I guarantee you, you truly loved her."

Susumu interrupts, "It was not out of love which, contain me from searching for her on the internet.

The feeling which I had for her was not even more than liking, ultimately, it was far away from having a feeling of love."
