Part 19: The Most
Ritsu's POV
"It'll be over before you know it," Mugi encouraged me a moment before she left me alone with my therapist, Sachi, for the nth time – I honestly lost count. "You may start," she instructed calmly.
"I met an old friend yesterday and I've been a mess ever since," I began and vexed to be less vocal of her as much as I could. Sachi merely nodded twice as she quietly contemplated my words.
"So, is this person close to you?" She asked and after a few minutes of total silence on my part, she added, "Ritsu, I need more to know what triggered it. You know how bad it can get in hours."
"Yes, yes, she is," I admitted and she gestured me to continue at once, so I did, "We had a past, a bad one, but it seems like she moved on already. I… I-I thought I was fine by it," I stuttered.
"But then, it happened. I-uh… I think I forced it on her or something. I can't – it's not me. I love her so much I won't even think of it," I lowered my head in shame while Sachi gaped in disbelief.
Mio's POV
"Okay, I'll let her know," Hana spoke before she returned my iPhone and I pouted spontaneously at the sight of its blank screen – I didn't even get to speak to my baby. "Where are they?"
"I don't know, on their merry way to Disne–" she slapped her big mouth and I hurriedly redialled his number. Her hands pried on while I avoided them. "Maybe? Stop, I didn't finish!"
"Sheesh, he's not picking up," I huffed as I glared at her from top to bottom – my best friend, their partner in crime. I was concerned for her because it was a big place. "Gosh, what if she's lost?"
"It'll be alright, okay? He'll surely take good care of her," she soon consoled me with words I myself found realistic. He was always there for Risa after all. "Right," I agreed though I felt restless.
"By the way, what was he like?" Hana asked eagerly as she wore her puppy eyes while I struggled to keep up with her. "Your ex, party pooper, whatever it was do you like the most about him?"
