Chapter 1
What does true love mean? What does it mean to love unconditionally? How far would I go just to be with the one I loved? There was a time in my life that those questions of mine were answered. I fell in love with my best friend which nobody knows except me, ofcourse. There were times before that I asked myself: "Is it just a platonic?"
Five years had passed very fast that I hardly noticed it. Now, at 23, I sometimes wonder about the choices I made. Should I be pissed or pleased about this whole thing? Being a CEO in your dad's company was a real deal. Though this is my choice I should face it.
It was getting dark and I could almost see the moon. It was it's full tonight. I sat quietly on my chair, as I close my eyes, I let myself think back from yesterday from where it all started, the good years I spent with her.

I am Shizuru Fujino, I was born on 1988, and I was raised in Kyoto, Japan. The city was peaceful and our neighbours were very friendly. Our house's near a lake, people from our town would always visit the lake during summer, and I love watching them play in the cool water. I came from a wealthy family, my dad's a business man, even though he's always busy, he always makes it sure to had time with me and my mom. My mom's a doctor, she's a gynaecologist, I know she's busy too but it's really awesome that they don't make me feel alone, they were always there and supportive. I really thanked God that He gave me such a wonderful parents.
There was this summer, I was seven back then. Mom's friend from Fuuka paid us a visit. She's mom's best friend in college, they went to med school together. She was here to attend a conference about the coming 'disease preventing month'. And since she was in Kyoto, she grabbed her golden opportunity to see her college best buddy. As a kid, I was there, listening to their conversation. It was fun to listen especially when they recalled those days when they were still in college, the guys they dated and their promises and those times when they're having an argument over a piece of shit. I also learned that they had an agreement that they would wedlock their son and daughter. Unfortunately, mom's friend bore a little girl, maybe about my age or younger not less than a year.
The following year, mom's friend came. And this time she's not alone. She was with a girl about my age, and looks terribly like mom's friend. Her big emerald eyes sparkles, making her look so adorable. Her hair, same as her mom was tied neatly. And she was hugging a stuff toy.
Excited and friendly as ever I approached her. "Hi! I'm Shizuru, please to meet you." I extended my hands to hug her. "Oh" that was the only thing she said, she looked at me with a perplexed look, making me want to squeeze her.
It was summer 1996 in Kyoto, when I first met my best friend. The person that makes my heart skipped a beat.
A/N: *achoooo* damn cold! till next!
