Fuuko's POV while driving in the middle of nowhere

I am a fighter.

I was never a sore loser.

I never gave up on anything.

And yet… here I am, driving in the middle of nowhere, lost like a speck on an ink on a pristine white paper.

A while ago, I was crying (because I'm fuming mad) and I didn't know what to do with Mi-chan. I was confused because I was both lonely and angry for the past couple of months. The last intimate time we had was… I dunno… a month ago… and after that I barely saw him. I understand that we are both busy with work. But at least I try to have time for him. And the thing that irritates me the most is that I have to make an appointment with him just to spend time like some inane client.

We are living together, mind you. Not seeing each other sort of defeats its main purpose don't you think?

I come home late from the studio with no sign of him, I watch reruns till I fall a sleep waiting. I will only know that he's home when I'm already in bed with him, sleeping like a rock. Since we're both too pooped to party, I will wait for the morning.

And every morning, I get up with him already dressed, off to work. Sometimes, he's already gone.

All I ever get is a kiss (it doesn't even last that long to linger) and a whiff of his perfume. It gets pretty frustrating, I tell you.

Things got even worse this past week because I wasn't really feeling well and he rarely goes home.

When I found out about what wrong with me, I wanted to tell him, but its either he's out or asleep.

Oh but that wasn't the last straw…

Not until I found out those text messages of his this morning to some creature named Calista.

Oh, you bet I wanted to wring his sleeping neck. I wanted to stab him.

But I was tired, tired to trying to do something to be seen or even noticed.

He's ignoring me. Fine.

I'll let you be…

I wrote him a dramatic letter, but boy, I am mad.

You shrivel up and die with worry Mi-chan!

I packed almost all my things.

I turned my cell phone off and planned to go somewhere he can't find me for days…

"You look like hell, man! What happened?" Recca said. Tokiya looked at him with empty eyes and said, "She left me."

He took another swig of beer, and crushed it when it was empty.

"Do you know why?" Recca knew that Tokiya's not the type who'll talk, but he was shocked with what he saw.

Tears.

The unbreakable Tokiya Mikagami is now crying in his empty palms.

"That bad, huh?" Recca sighed and sat beside his friend. He knew no words won't be any help, so he simply sat, waiting for the man's pain to subside.

"It's all my fault." Tokiya said after a few moments. He's calm alright and he seemed to have stopped crying too.

"Well, now that that is settled, have you done anything? Like calling her?"

Tokiya looked at Recca as if he said the stupidest thing on earth.

"Of course I already did. A million times."

"And yet?"

Tokiya shrugged. "She turned that darn thing off."

"Ooh. "

"How about the studio? Her friends? Any lead from them?"

"The studio people aren't aware of her whereabouts and she's the only one who knows the numbers of her friends except for you wife.'

The room's atmosphere grew heavier and all Recca could do is sigh.

"You know what, I would agree with you that its your fault, man. I mean, Fuuko's ranting about you because you've been unreachable, busy and irritatingly busy. What have you been up to lately anyway that you've actually left your girlfriend in the cold?"

Defeated, Tokiya took out a box and handed it to Recca.

"Open it."

Inside was something Recca didn't quite expect. A model of a house with a key placed on its veranda along with a small velvet box.

"I was building a house. It was finished just yesterday. I planned to surprise her with this. I also planned on proposing last night. But then she was gone. She wasn't able to wait. She's already left."

And there was light…

TBC

Yey! Review, review please…

I'M SO SORRY THIS UPDATE TOOK REALLY LONG FOR THOSE WHO ARE WAITING…

Want more…?

"I left knowing he can't stand missing me when I'm gone." Fuuko said ruefully and cried the next.

"I never thought I would be the one who couldn't stand being apart from him this much."

Hehehehehehehe…

Ja ne!!!!
