Author's note: Hello to all my readers! I am really sorry for not updating fast. You see a high school student's life is not that easy. Everyday I have to review my lessons, do my assignments and chase after my crush who doesn't know me at all.

Mai kept standing from her seat and glancing through the window to check if Naru had come. She had this weird feeling ever since the glass broke. It was like a bad omen for Mai. Worse is that she has been calling Naru's phone, but it wouldn't even ring. The more and more Mai thought of the previous accident, the more she felt nervous. What if something bad had happened to the narcissist? Speaking of the time, he was already late for thirty minutes as well. That was so unlike him. He was always on time in their dates.
Finally, Mai peculiar actions caught the manger's attention. "Ma'am, is there something wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable?"
"Oh!" Mai was a bit startled. She was so busy trying to know where Naru was that she didn't notice someone went near her. "I'm fine…"
"Please don't hesitate to tell us when you're not feeling well, ma'am. We'll be very glad to assist you," the manager said cheerfully.
"Arigato!" she said as the manager left her. Once again, Mai glanced at her watch. Thinking negatively wouldn't help her. Perhaps, an emergency came up she thought helping herself to calm down and relax.
--ooo000ooo--
"Oh no! My wallet!!" a blonde girl shouted as she realized the money she has been saving was missing.
"What? You should probably just left it in the store…" her grandmother said while cooking for their dinner in the kitchen. "Go back and check if it is in the ramen store…"
"You're right, obaa-san! I'll go now!" she hurriedly went out from their house and head off to the ramen store where she was working. She rode on her bicycle to get to the store as soon as possible, but she little did know that her life was going to change from that point on. Her name was Arianne Yamada, a twenty one year old girl living a very simple life with her grandmother, Sachiko obaa-san in the province. "I hope I can get there before it closes." She was nearing the store when she noticed a figure lying on the ground. Curious to know what was it, she walked closer and she saw that it was a man. Injured and bleeding. "Oh my!" she rapidly put her bike down and check if the man was still alive. Good thing he was breathing, but unconscious. She dialed their phone number at home to ask help from her neighbors. "Obaa-san, I found someone who's very injured here," her voice was shaking because of fear. "I need help. The hospital is so far and it will take hours before I get there through my bike. We have to save his life, obaa-san."
"Arianne, relax… Where are you?"
"You can see me right away if you take the high way. I am near the bushes under the oak tree here. Obaa-san, please hurry…"
"I got it. We'll be there in no time." Sachiko knew where that place was and immediately called the villagers for help. After a few minutes, they have arrived. They took the man on a stretcher and drove going to the nearest doctor in their place. The best was to go to a hospital, but the man would have die even before they arrive.
"So you are the one who found him?" the doctor asked Arianne.
"Yes," she answered and nodded. "How is he?"
"His injuries were serious, but they're alright now. The bleeding has stopped," Arianne sighed in relief upon hearing those words. "But… I would still recommend you to bring him to the hospital. My clinic is not enough. When he wakes up, that'll be the time we know if he's indeed fine or not yet."
"Thanks, doc."
--ooo000ooo--
Masako woke up when she hear a small thud from their entrance door. "Mai?" she didn't expect Mai to come back home that late at night. "What happened? I thought you'd stay in Tokyo." Then, she noticed her beast friend crying.
"Naru… he didn't come. I waited 'til the restaurant close. I waited for him…"
"Have you called him?"
"I've been calling him for ages, but his phone wouldn't ring. This never happened before. What could have happened?" Mai was confused and Masako could only watch her.
"Ssshhh…. He would call you. I'm sure of that…" the raven haired girl comforted her as she wiped her tears off. "Come on, let's sleep."
--ooo000ooo--
As soon as the sun rose, Arianne cooked breakfast and went straight to the doctor'a clinic. She was eager to know if he had regain his conscious. "Good morining, doc? Has he woken up?"
"I'm afraid he's not. But all his vital stabilities are normal and that's great. If these continue, he will wake up soon," the doctor reported happily. "Anyway, I still have things to do so just look after him."
"Hai!" she replied and the physician left. Arianne asked for a day off from hes boss lying that her grandma was sick and luckily, her boss approved it. She was also able to retrieve her lost wallet. Someone found it and the boss kept it for her. "I'm really sorry, boss," she said to herself. "So what do I do while I wait for this man to wake up?" Then, her eyes weren't able to remove their sight from the man's face. He was so handsome like he was the best-looking guy Arianne has ever seen. "I didn't have a good picture of your face last night because it was almost covered with blood," she was amazed how the man looked so gorgeous. His eyelashes were long and his eyelids were folded twice. He had this soft and silk black hair and skin so white and flawless. Feeling not satisfied, Arianne drew closer to the man and their faces were just a few millimeters away. Suddenly, his eyes opened and caused Arianne to move back. What beautiful eyes, she told herself. "How are you?" she asked him finally escaping from day dreaming.
"Who are you?" the man said in such cool voice. "Where am I?"
"Well, it was a long story why you ended up here, but my name is Arianne Ya-" she was cut when the raven-haired man blurted out his next question.
"Who am I?"
"You…" Arianne got all mixed up. He has amnesia? "Doc, the man has woken up! But he doesn't know who he is…" Mai went out of the room and called for the doctor.
"What happened, Arianne?" they met at the house's corridor.
"Doc, he doesn't know his name? What does that mean?"
"Ok. Calm down. Let me see him first." Upon reaching his room, the two found out all the furniture were scattered everywhere. The man was out of his control and was just banging things anywhere.
"Wait, stop it!" Arianne said. "I don't understand what's going on, but please calm down."
"Who am I? ! Who am I?!" the man kept shouting, desperate to know his name. "Who am I?" As soon as the man has stopped from throwing things up, the doctor injected her a tranquilizer and he fell asleep.
"Doc, he doesn't know his name? How was that?"
"Maybe he had banged his head severely in an accident which caused him amnesia. I didn't see this coming. It's rare for me encounter this kind of case. I suggest you take him to the hospital."
--ooo000ooo--
It has been two days, but Mai still got no news about Naru. Everyday, Mai will travel to Tokyo hoping Naru to come. A phone would make her relieved, but none came.
"Mai, are you alright? You can't face our costumers with such sad face. I think you should rest." Masako told her. Even if Mai wouldn't let her see, every night Masako could hear her crying in her room. Having no idea where you're your loved ones will definitely make you worried.
"No, I'm fine…" All of the sudden, the store's phone rang and Mai picked it up. "Hello, Fairly Land flower shop, may I help you?"
"Is Taniyama Mai there?" a manly voice was on the other line.
"Speaking. What can I do for you?"
"We are the police. Do you know a certain person called… Oliver Davis?"
"Yes! I'm his girlfriend? Where is he?" Mai asked. "How did you know this number?"
"We need to talk to you."
--ooo000ooo--
At the police station…"These are the personal belongings we found at the victim's car…" the police handed it to Mai in a plastic bag. "We didn't find any body on the car when we arrived at the place where the accident happened."
"What do you mean?"
"The victim's car crashed with a ten-wheeler truck. We found the drivers of the truck, but we found no one inside the car. We just recovered some of his belongings. Please take a look at those if you really know the victim."
Mai opened the sealed plastic bag with her trembling hands. She took all the stuffs one by one. There was Naru's broken cellphone, wallet and a velvet box which contained a diamond ring. So Masako was right after all, Naru was going to propose to me… "These are all his things…" she wanted to cry instantly and shout to the top of her voice, but Mai controlled herself while the policeman continue his statement.
"You can give us a picture of the victim and declare him missing in action. We have searched for him in places where the accident had happened, but we found none. Let's just hope them we can find his body…"
As these words entered Mai's ears, she barely didn't know how to live on.
