Chapter 1: Prologue

" How are your exams going? Excellent as usual?" Ritsu places her phone back on her desk, and continues to stare into space.

~Flashback~

"Mio, I love you!", Ritsu had just confessed to Mio two years ago after their performance of Romeo and Juliet, in which she thought that Mio would definitely reject her. But much to her surprise, Mio secretly loved Ritsu too. After that, they began dating. They still hang out, play music, eat cakes and watch movies together as best friends, but now also as a couple.

However, when they both started their university life, everything changed. They enrolled into the Japan University but in different faculties. Ritsu was still being Ritsu. She didn't mind what others thought about her. She was willing to tell everyone that Mio and herwere dating. On the other hand, Mio was still that shy and easily embarrassed girl. She planned to hide their relationship from others. At first, Ritsu was against it. However, she loved Mio so much, that she agreed with Mio's request to hide their relationship from.

Everything started to change since they started their university life. Mio was always the ace student since she was a child, and undoubtedly, she used most of her time in doing her coursework and studying for quizzes and exams. She did not have any free time left, even for playing music, watching movies or even a simple stroll in the park. It's like she was disconnected from her previous high school world and immersed one hundred percent in her new university life. Mio did sometimes go home, but just for a simple dinner with her family like once or twice a month and then continue with her busy schedule.

At first, Ritsu was not used to these changes Mio had. They barely met each other in the university since their faculties are far from each others. Ritsu started to bug Mio every single time she had by calling Mio or text Mio, asking her to free some of her time so that they can have some time together. At the beginning, Mio would kindly reject her invitation, but as time passed, Mio started to ignore Ritsu's text and calls.

Ritsu was annoyed, angry and sad at the same time. One time, Ritsu waited for Mio in front of Mio's faculty area. She planned to take Mio out to dinner after class. She waited patiently for Mio for some hours as she wanted to surprise Mio. Mio finally came out from her faculty with some of her friends whom Ritsu had no idea who they were.

"Hi there," said Ritsu while approaching Mio. Mio was very shocked to see Ritsu.

"Ahh... Hel-lo, R-itsu", Mio stuttered. She was happy to see Ritsu but in a way she was also scared because as always she worried about what others thought of her. She was still not fully prepared to announce their relationship to her friends.

"Why are you here?" Mio asked while pulling Ritsu away from her friends.

"Hmm… Nothing, just wanted to take you out for dinne-," Ritsu got interrupted by Mio instantly.

"I'm sorry, Ritsu. I'm not free. And also, I've already had dinner with my friends in the faculty. We are now heading to the library to continue working on our assignment." Mio whispered to Ritsu in a straight face.

"Ohh... Okay, it's fine. There is always a next time, right? So, are you free tomorrow?" Ritsu asked again.

"I don't think so. I am always busy, Ritsu. You should know that." Mio said without thinking much.

"Yea, you always are. Could you at least answer my calls or maybe reply to my texts? We kinda lost contact in the past few months." Ritsu started pleading.

"Ritsu, grow up will you? Don't be so childish. We are in university now. If you have time for texting and calling me, why don't you use that time to do your homework or study? Do you know how busy I am? Twenty four hours a day aren't enough for me already. I don't have any spare time for texting or chatting with you. So, Ritsu, please stop texting and calling me unnecessarily. It's somehow annoying to see my phone constantly vibrating all the time while I am busying. Sorry Ritsu, I have to go now. My friends are waiting for me. Bye!" Mio said without even looking at Ritsu in the eyes. She kept glancing at her friends from time to time because she was scared about their relationship being exposed. Mio walked away, leaving Ritsu standing in front of the faculty alone.

Ritsu felt hurt listening to Mio's words. However, her love for Mio is greater than anything in the world. For Mio, she was willing to give up everything. Willing to sacrifices whatever she had. Willing to follow whatever Mio wanted her to do.

"I can wait… I will wait… for you, Mio." Since that day, Ritsu stopped bugging Mio. She didn't text or call Mio again because that was what Mio desired.

~End flashback~

-"How's your day Mio? I saw you laughing with your friends… And… You seem so happy…"

-"Mio! Today is my birthday! Hang out with meeeeee~~~~~"

-"Lycopene…"

-"Spider on your pillow…"

-"I saw a new cake shop open beside the music store. Wanna try a bite with me?"

-"Mio! You are mine on that next Saturday! It's our valuable anniversary~ Let's celebrate it together~"

-"Ohh… I saw you inside the new cake shop… with your friends… ermm… I'm thinkin… ermm… Mio, can I… can I join you guys?"

-"Happy Anniversary Mio! I love you forever and everrrr~~"

-"Did you receive my present? Do you like it? Tell me Mio!"

-"Hey… Erm… Just wanna say good morning to you. Oh ya… I saw a guy send you to university just now. So you are not afraid of guys now huh? Gratz~ I am happy for you… or not… Ahhh… Come on Mio, who is he? Your classmate? Your friend? Your boyfriend? Mio, JUST TELL ME!"

-"I hate you"

-"I miss you"

-"Ne Mio, are you still my Romio?"

In truth, Ritsu didn't exactly stop texting Mio, or more, she would write the text and later not send it to her. In fact, she saved all the texts she was supposed to send to Mio in her draft. As time passed, Ritsu's draft was full of text meant to be sent to Mio. Mio was always busy. Even on holidays, Mio joined extra courses with her university friends.

Even so, Ritsu's love for Mio didn't fade. She still continued with her "texting" to Mio. Sometimes, Ritsu would constantly repeat to herself that Mio is a super duper busy ace student and if she loves her, she must listen and compromise with what Mio wants. She had to understand what her lover actually wanted, but deep inside, Ritsu missed the times she would usually spent with Mio like they did before entering high school.

"I want to see you, Mio," said Ritsu, lying on her bed in her room. Ritsu was now having semester break and so, she went back to her own house instead of staying in the dorm.

"Mio..." Ritsu mumbled while hugging one of her pillow.

"Ahhh! That's it! I can't stand it anymorree….I'm gonna end it!"
