Painful Reality .
The next day when Ryosuke woke up, Kota already in her house. Having breakfast with her mom and chatting happily.
“Ohayou~” Ryosuke simply joined them in dining room when she arrived downstairs.
“Ohayou~” Replied Kota. ”Got a nice sleep, huh?” He smiled. It’s not usual for Ryosuke to woke up late. She’s a morning person.
“Ryo, what with you? You ask Kota-kun to come here early, but you are the one who wake up late.” Like usual, Ryosuke was greet with a tirade by her mom.
“Ie. It’s okay, Kaasan.” Kota defended his fiancée. “Thanks to her, I always have a time to talk with you when she’s late.”
“Speaking of which, why are you wearing suit? Isn’t this Saturday?” Ryosuke checked the calendar on his mobile. Who knows he was sleeping more than 24 hours and skipped days.
“Ah, yeah. That’s what I want to tell you.” Kota put the spoon and claps his hand. “Gomen ne, Ryo. I have to go to office today. There’s an urgent meeting with foreign investor. We can’t go on date this morning.” He lowered his head asking for apologized.
“Mou~ I just wake up and you ruin my mood.” Ryosuke sulked.
“Gomen… We can go on tomorrow. I promise.” Kota got up from his seat and bowing.
“Yamete, Kota-kun. You don’t need to feel that guilty. It’s risk of your work. And Ryosuke, you should understand him!” Ryosuke’s mom comes to compose them.
“I’ll come with you.” Grumbled Ryosuke as she grabbed a slice of bread and fill its surface with strawberry jam. “Let me come to your office.”
“What?” Kota didn’t get the idea. “The meeting may last till evening. I can’t accompany you there. What would you do?”
“I just want to be with you… I’ll stay in your room then,” She bite the bread and munching it roughly, releasing her stress to the innocent bread.
“Are you serious?” Kota sat back and stared at her curiously.
“Very, very serious!” Ryosuke put the whole bread to her mouth and gulped it after a few chew. Kota just shook his head seeing his fiancée sulking mood.

The building seemed so wide without people around. Of course, it was Saturday, weekend of the week. No employee came to office except for a certain person who got extra job or they who were catch up with deadline. They headed to 12th floor where the CEO office, superior meeting room, and Kota’s office located. Kota was put as the 2nd director of marketing management by his dad, the owner of the company. They met with Kota’s father in the lounge. The foreign investors had arrived. Ryosuke slowly released herself from Kota’s arm because she knew she isn’t relate to them. So it’s better to hide before they notice her presence and asking about something unnecessary.
“Ah, Ryo-chan, you come here?” But her soon-to-be father in-law never failed to capture her figure. Ryosuke turned and came closer to greet him properly.
“Hai~ To-chan.” She already addressed him as her own father, like what Kota did to her parents. “I supposed go on date with Kou-nii, but he said he has an important meeting today.” Ryosuke pouted. It her character that never change, she spoiled to anyone close to her. Fortunately, Kota’s parents never hampered with it, because they had knew her since the day she was born.
“I’m so sorry princess. I unconsciously ruined your day. But you should know, Kota-kun is mine today.” He gently stroked her hair and smile widely, teasing the girl. Ryosuke replied with her best smile. How lucky her to have a father in-law like him. Ops, it still soon-to-be.
“By the way, the meeting will start soon. What will you do, Ryo?” He asked when Kota already gone to his room, preparing some important documents. Ryosuke and Mr. Yabu was sitting on the couch in the lounge, waiting for all his employees to enter the meeting room. “Are you going home?”
“No. I’m not planning to go back. I’ll wait in his office until the meeting end and drag him to go on our postpone date.” Ryosuke pouted again. She knew that it sounds impossible, but she wanted to try. Staying at home also not a good idea, her parent was going to visit their acquaintance outside Tokyo.
“Ryo, the meeting will end very long. You better not stay here. You will be lonely.” He showed affection and worrying in his eyes. Ryosuke knew what he said was true. She never be alone for a long period, but she already here. It’s no used to step aback.
Ryosuke shook her head. “I bring my manga. I’ll read them while waiting.” She pulled out the latest series of her favorite shoujo manga from a small bag that she brought. Mr. Yabu laughed when he saw it.
“Alright, Ryo. Good luck with that. If you feel bored, you can also go to my office, I had brought a new painting, you may like to see my collection. You can also play a game in my pc.” He then got up and entered the meeting room along with Kota. Ryosuke sent him a ‘ganbatte’ sign when her fiancé passed by in front of her.
Ryosuke sighed. “I’m totally alone now,” She weakly walked to Kota’s office and slammed the door behind her.
***
Like what Kota had said, the meeting last very long. Ryosuke who was locking herself in Kota’s office slowly feels bored and uneasy. Two series of manga had she read. She even fell asleep for hours. She looked at the stand clock. Lunch time already come. She sighed and get up from the couch, went outside to peek at meeting room. All people inside the room looked so serious listening to a foreign man presentation. Ryosuke sighed again. She knew Kota wouldn’t be able to have lunch with her.
“Who the hell is proposing the idea to hold a meeting on weekend?” Ryosuke mumbled annoyed. She really can’t understand what that ‘world important businessman’ is thinking.
Meanwhile, her stomach started to rumble. She must grab something to eat soon. Kota would scold her if she skipped lunch, and she really didn’t want to hear his nagging in that kind of situation.
I’ll go to a convenience store to buy some ingredients and cook. I’m hungry already, aren’t you?
Ryosuke texted her fiancé when she was waiting for elevator to carry her to the 1st floor. She might call a fast food restaurant and order a delivery, but it means another waiting. She hates it. Out of expectation, Kota replied very fast. He must been stole a chance to do so.
I’m also hungry, but it still in the middle presentation. Break time may come in 30 minutes.
Why don’t you go to a restaurant and eat there?
Another idea that she would never do.
I hate eating alone. I would look like an idiot.
30 minutes. She was thinking that the time is enough for her to cook something light for two or three portion. So, she decided to try her luck.
Wanna eat with me? I’ll cook for you and To-chan.
Ryosuke was very often using pantry in Kota’s office. Every time she visited, she would come there and cook something then eating together in Kota’s room. She’s not really good at cooking though, but recently her cooking was safe enough to eat, and also Kota never protest about the taste. Sometimes she was helped by the kitchen lady to cook something new. They as close as a friend, since the kitchen lady was called Ryosuke by her first name. Ryosuke is well-known among the employees, especially in the 12th floor. Everybody knows that she is Yabu Kota’s fiancée, the next heir of the company.
I’m so sorry Ryo-chan, I can’t. We will have lunch with the investors in the nearby restaurant. What will you cook? I’ll eat them all after meeting.
Like usual, Kota always try to please her. Even her cooking sometimes smell like burnt, he would finish them in silent. One time she baked a cake on his birthday, she came to his house but Kota was outside the town. She left the cake there hoping he would eat it when he came back. He did. He came home the day after tomorrow and without hesitation ate the cake. Ryosuke had warned him on the phone knowing the cake might be spoiled, but the latter was stubborn and keep eating, as the result, he got stomachache, but still he didn’t put the blame on cake Ryosuke baked. The next time when she showed a little improvement, he would gladly eat them and saying ‘oishii~’ in every spoon, even Ryosuke herself knew the taste was yuck.
“What will I cook? I’m not good in anything.” Muttered Ryosuke to herself. No, I can’t disappointed Kou-nii for the nth time. I should make something delicious. She said to herself and walked to a convenience store.
***
Ryosuke bought some vegetables and meat. She intended to cook curry. It’s indeed a bit hard to cook, but she sure enough with her ability in that one, because her mother had trained her to cook curry since she was in grade school. Curry would be best for dinner. She thought.
For her lunch, Ryosuke bought an instant ramen. Like she had said, she doesn’t like to eat alone. At the moment, she didn’t really had appetite, if it’s not because her stomach which was yearning for food, she won’t eat at all.
“If you don’t eat, you will lose your chubby cheeks.” Yuto was persuading him to eat at the rooftop one day. That time she got a bad mark on her English exam and she was upset and lost her appetite. Yuto share her his bento and feeding her. Of course, Ryosuke couldn’t reject that sweet concern of him.
Ryosuke slapped her own cheek. “Why do I think about that jerk again?” Her mood became worse. She tried really hard to shooed Yuto’s silhouette from her mind. She promised to herself last night to forget everything about Nakajima Yuto. He was just her past, her past mistake.
“If you don’t eat, then I won’t eat either.” Kota put back the chopstick he was holding and folded his hand on the chest, then pouting his lips and turned his face to the left, imitating Ryosuke’s sulking pose.
“He?” Ryosuke who was sitting across him shocked by him sudden childish reaction. “Kou-nii, you should eat! Otherwise you will end up open your eyes in hospital tomorrow.” Ryosuke was trying to convince the older to eat. She’s pity his skinny frame which is used to work hard every day.
“I won’t eat if you won’t.” He repeated the same thing. Ryosuke sighed. The situation was turn now, minutes ago, Kota was the one who persuaded her to eat, but now the older also sulking and she is trying to make him eat.
“Alright, I’ll eat.” Ryosuke gave up. She couldn’t let Kota torturing himself because of her.
“I don’t believe you.” Kota still pouting and gaze at Ryosuke curiously, wanting to see the girl eat her food. “Here, I’ll feed you.” He snatched the spoon from Ryosuke’s hand because he noticed the younger was really slow on her progress.
“Kou-nii, people are looking.” Ryosuke felt a bit shy because they were in famous restaurant in the town.
“I don’t care. All things that I care is you.” He said firmly, making Ryosuke blushing so hard.
“Mou~ Kou-nii, how can I eat now?” She protest and hiding her own redden cheeks. The older just grinned and kept spooning the food. Although she felt a bit annoyed because Kota was tricked her, Ryosuke eat his food gladly.
Yeah, her fiancé always has his own way to make her smile.
Ryosuke is smiling widely remembering the scene. Kota never failed to make her feel special. His concern, his affection, his love, no one can compare what he gave her. She was busy with her thought, recalling another sweet moment with her fiancé. Look like she forgot that she was walking on the crowded street while carrying a heavy plastic full with groceries, because she’s unconsciously bumped to someone.
“Ittai~” Ryosuke fell on the ground. Worse, the plastic in her hand released from her grip, making the potatoes rolling on the pavement. Ryosuke had no time to think about the person she bumped. She immediately squatted down and collected the groceries then put it back in the plastic.
“Sumimasen deshita~, I was busy with my phone so I didn’t see you.” She heard someone apologized. Ryosuke shook her head. It wasn’t the person fault at all, she’s the one who didn’t pay attention to her pace.
“Here, your potatoes.” Someone squatted in front of her, holding two potatoes in his right hand, intended to hand it to her.
Ryosuke feel a bit relief. So, the person I was bumped is helping me? “Arigatou…” She took the potatoes and look up at the person face. Then gasped.
“Ryosuke?” The man in front of her cried in disbelief. He was smiling widely.
Ryosuke didn’t want to believe her eyes, but it’s real. That time, she really wanted to cry. Yappari, God hates me.
“Yu…to-kun”
