I walked on the cold busy winter night. Lately, I've been so busy on my work that I stayed late in my office, and trying to catch the latest bus. And if I couldn't, I had no choice but to take taxi. My boss told me to stop doing it since I am still young and should socialize more. I am still 28 years old and she even told me to get married already. Well, I am busy in work.

For five months, I've been thinking of quitting this job, and look for a new one. They kept on giving all the job to me. It's annoying. I told my sister about it. And yes, my sister returned two years after, well, they still accepted her.

Anyways today, I finished earlier than expected, since they didn't give me that much of work. They? Most of the females in the company.

Then? Of all day, why today? Today, it wasn't particularly cold, I could say the ambiance is.

Yes, tomorrow is after all Valentine's day. I don't have anyone to give chocolates, nor anyone to be with tomorrow.

No, there is. But, the last time I talked to him was merely seven years now. I knew he became busier, since he had lots of projects, since he is a famous seiyuu. Well, if he is happy to what he is doing, then all I could do is support him. But I couldn't fully support him, I mean, I didn't buy his character merchandise, or character songs or the event DVD he appeared.

It still hurt.

Even though it was mutual that we separated because of our professions, as his ex-wife, I still feel hurt and hard to move on.

Yes...

We only got married for a year, and mutually decided to divorce, since that marriage was going nowhere.

It was fine at first. He even went to my graduation which happened three months after we got married. But after I graduated, I got hired and became busier in work. He also became busier, that in a week, we would see each other once during breakfast. Sometimes he even stayed in a hotel near their events, or would go travel for a program.

We didn't even celebrate our birthdays together, and if there was a gathering I would be there during lunch, he would be there during dinner.

It was fine during those three months of marriage, but after that, we only saw each other 9 times. The 10th time, was when we finally talked about it, and signed the divorce paper.

I was walking towards the Chinese restaurant to buy dinner when I felt my phone vibrating. I was surprised when it was from Chisato.

I stopped from walking and answered it, when I was surprised when she laughed

"What?!" I annoyingly asked

"Look to your left" I did as what she said and I was surprised when Chisato was there waving at me, with Tani-kun.

"What? Are you on date?" I asked and she gestured me to go in as she ended the call.

I entered the Korean restaurant where they were having their dinner, and sat down next to Chisato.

"Did you just finish your work?" They asked and I nodded

"Yeah. Its been a while since I finished work this early." I answered and chuckled "is it fine if I am here? Aren't you on date?"

"It is fine. We're just having a dinner. We will have it tomorrow" Tani-kun answered.

The two of them started dating five years ago, and they rarely see each other, Tani-kun always make an effort to see Chisato

"Besides, we haven't seen you for four years. So stay here with us for now, and eat dinner. Excuse me, we're ordering more dish!" Chisato called one of the servers. She ordered a dish for me since I didn't know any of these

"Then, how are you (F/N)? Besides being busy with your work, what are you up to?"

"Nothing" I answered Tani-kun and got my phone since it vibrated "I have nothing to do. Once I finished my work, either I go out with my friends from work, or go home and cook my own food" then I gasped and was in grimace reading the message

"What's wrong?"

"Miho returned last week, right? Chisato, three days ago... they will go see me tomorrow, and they wanted with Takahiro-san... what should I do?!" I nervously asked them

"Good luck!" The two of them responded and continued eating their dish

After graduation, the two worked in America. I haven't seen them since then, nor haven't talked that much. Also...

I actually haven't told them that Takahiro-san and I... well, got divorced years ago already... they will get mad at me, especially Miho

I sighed and the dish she ordered finally arrived. We just talked about how's works and stuffs then they sent me home

~

I sat down on the living room, holding a bottle of juice. I closed my eyes, and felt my whole body so tired.

~Flashback~

"It's been a while, we need to talk, Takahiro-san." I greeted him as I was sitting in our long sofa.

"You are, right. We need to talk" he responded and he sat down next to me

My heart was beating so fast, nervous to what will happen.

"How's work?" I asked getting something from my bag

"I became busier. Actually my manager will pick me up later." Once he said that, my hands froze and really didn't know what should I do, when he continued "it's fine, (F/N). I know what is this talk will be about"

"I apologize." I told him and put down the divorce paper. "I already talked about it with my family. Your parents and even your grandparents talked to me."

"They also talked to me." He responded "and I know that it will end to this. Even though we talked about it, it didn't work out because of our own careers, our schedules. Not because of our personalities"

"Nor our age" I followed "but, Takahiro-san!" I turned to him and tears started to fall down. "This marriage, I am so thankful since I learned lots of things. You helped me expand my knowedge, and experience. I really like Takahiro-san, but... we have no time for each other"

"I apologize."

"Please don't apologize. Because, I also don't have time... and this..."

"Don't feel responsible, since recently, I am thinking that this marriage will end to this. That is why, don't feel wrong about it. This decision will be mutual between the two of us. This house, you can have it"

"No, you should-"

"(F/N), your work is near here. My work is everywhere. I also stay in nearby hotel if I have event." He chuckled and he wiped my tears. "So you can have it."

His manager called not long after, and before he left, he signed the divorce paper and for last time, he hugged me.

"That's not it... I really don't mind... but at least make an effort."

~present time~

I opened my eyes and realized that I fall asleep in the living room.

"Wherever I go, its suffocating" I sighed and just went to my room. In this house, there's three rooms. And since then, I sleep in other room, not in the master room.

~

Early morning, I left the house since if I leave the house with my usual time, I will be seeing lots of couples

When I arrived in the company, the couples working there are already lovey dovey. I headed to my table, and there I was surprised when there are flowers and chocolates on my table.

"What are these?" I asked my friend that is already on her table near mine.

"From those and these people. You are quite famous here, don't you know?" She teasingly answered

"I am not interested in that though" I sighed "I am thankful, but, I actually don't like these kind of flowers and chocolates."

"Well, there's no person who knows your favorite flower and chocolate after all"

"There are some, but only one person gave them to me with such affection" I mumbled and sighed as I cleaned up my table. And not long after, four males went to me, and again handed flowers and chocolates. Well, I thanked them, but still... Flowers and chocolates that I don't like.

Well, at first I really didn't care about these flowers and chocolates since no one really gave me. My friends nor family didn't even bother to give me some since they knew that I had no interest. Except for Takahiro-san who gave lots before.

Ah, again him...

"Ah, good thing that you are already here (L/N)-san." One staff called me and behind her was a delivery man, holding a bouquet of flower and chocolates.

I approached them and I was surprised when it was given to me. These are my favorites!

"From who?!" I asked nervously

"Eeto, these are from the flower shop and there's no name from who it is from." The delivery man answered, but I looked at him and he looked so familiar to me. His voice too. Where did I...? "Anyways, Sakurai (F/N)-san, ah, I mean, (L/N) (F/N)-san, please sign this paper"

I signed and accepted them.

When he left, I sat on my table and tried to remember that guy, but I couldn't.

Anyways, this... it is no doubt, from Takahiro-san, since from the chocolate tag, there's "T.S"

What the heck is this?!

"You are grinning too much, (F/N)"

I snapped back to reality and looked at her innocently "hmmmm?"

"Who is it from? And what was that? Sakurai (F/N)-san?" She asked curiously

"Nothing" I responded. Well, the thing is, when we got married, I actually didn't change my last name. "But, why am I receiving these? Shouldn't I give them instead?"

"Are you going to give them?" She asked back and I shook my head "see? They do the opposite instead. Since you are a person who really doesn't care about this kind of thing, so they give them to you instead"

And as we were talking, our boss came and also gave me chocolates plus "you should go out with someone already so you won't receive these much, someone who the others will wary of"

As if he is telling me to go out with him.

"So how should I bring these home?!" I complained and good thing I finished on time today

"Should I help you?" The males asked me at the same time, but good thing I received a message from Miho and Misaki, they already arrived downstairs.

"Thank you. Then, please help me bring these to the main floor, my friends are there waiting for me."

I told them, and they got everything, well, I got the one from T.S.

My friend also helped us, and when we arrived on the main floor, Miho and Misaki, wait Chisato and Tani-kun are also here?!

"Thank you for helping (F/N)" Miho told them, and pointed Tani-kun "follow him and put it in his car." The usual Miho, but she seems upgraded

"Thank you for helping me" I told them and Tani-kun also got the one from my hands. As I was about to give them to Tani-kun, I froze, and everything on my hands left my hands, and Tani-kun caught them.

Wait! Setting that aside!

"Takahiro-san...?!" I called him with quivering voice. "Eh...?"

"I was stupid to ask you today." Miho sighed "I totally forgot that of course you will have a date with your husband"

"Husband?!" Everyone there asked in disbelief

"That's not it... Miho..." I looked at her seriously then lowered my gaze, hesitant to say it

"I know that story already." She sighed "you can tell us more in details on later date. You have things to talk"

Takahiro-san bowed down towards me, and I did the same. I gazed away, and noticed that everyone was looking at us, boss was there too

"Eeto...?"

"You have free time now, right?"

"I supposed to go out with Miho and the others" I responded then gasped now remembering the delivery man "it was Fukuyama-san"

"Yes, I supposed to give it to you personally but he asked me that he should give it to you and see your reaction."

"Why?" I asked confusedly but he blinked fast "why? After all these years?"

"Because this time, everything will be fine. You worked enough, this time you can live freely and stay by my side."

"What do you mean?"

"If I will travel because of work, you will go with me. You don't need to work anymore. You can go with me when I have recording" I chuckled from what he was saying. Is this for real? "Since you wanted to quit this job, then be it. Just be my wife once again. I wanted to ask you for a long time now, but you were still into your work."

"Then how did you find out- ah... my sister?" I asked and he nodded "I wanted to be with Takahiro-san, but then, at least make an effort to go home and eat dinner"

"I understand. This time, I will do my best that it will not end last time"

I noticed that tears already fall on my cheeks and shook my head "not 'I', but we... We will do our best"

"Well then, it will be different from before" he knelt down in front of me and the mumbling around me became mute and his voice echoed "not engaged by our family, once again, (F/N), will you marry me?"
