"I'm home!" miki called out.
"welcome home miki dear!" said her mother!
"Guess waht miki! Great news! Yuu's job followed through! he's going to construct a house in kyoto!...but thats not the best part! while he's there he'll be working on a house for someone in new york!"
Miki ran up to yuu's room. she was speechless...did that mean he was going to move to kyoto? what about their wedding!? it was planned for June 17th! 2 months from now!
"Yuu!!" miki cried! " are u really!? are u really going to kyoto"
Yuu looked at his feet. He couldn't bare to look at her.
" Miki...i know you must hate me... i'll b leaving you again...but this is my big break through...this is the starting of my career...but if i take this job...i own't have ANY time to spend with you...let alone get married...i'll be so bzy"
miki said nothing.
yuu continued. " You can say no if you like...in fact you have every right to say no and break up with me... but can we postpone our wedding by a year?
Miki looked at him shocked.
" You don't have to asnwer right now...you can take your time and think about it" Yuu said leading her to her room. " Miki..i'm sorry i'm always doing this to you"
Miki stayed silent. stared at him for a moment of two then closed the door. she waited until his footsteps faded and heard his door close. " why yuu...why are u leaving me again!"
The next morning miki woke up refreshed. she knew her answer, " Its so early... 5:00...but i don't want to wait...i want to tell him my answer...now." she got up and went out her door. Took a deep breath and knocked on Yuu's door. "yuu? Yuu! are you still sleeping? Yuu? He must still be asleep" she thought. she was just about to turn back when she heard yuu say
"come in"
"Yuu...don't say anything...let me talk first. Yuu i've decided..i've decided...if this job means this much to you...I'll wait...i'll wait ONE year."
Yuu smiled. "thank you miki. you won't regret it."
