EDITED

A small ray of sunshine cracks through the blinds as it slowly falls on a sleeping figure. She gently opened her eyes and blinks twice to adjust her vision. She lifts her torso up, still hazy from waking up. As soon as she sobered up her head instantly snaps to her right only to see an empty space long cold.

'I guess he's still at work.. or.. doing that'

Mikan Yukihara POV

It has been quite a while since the last time you see us. Ever since they graduated high school, Natsume was quick to propose to me and we've lived together for quite some time now. We got married after we finished college and our life is... a bit different since then.

Well, today is supposed to be our anniversary day but.. he isn't home. Maybe he doesn't even remember. 

After we got married our lives were still the same. We were very much still in love and spend every day together while basking with constant affection. But his personality changed after he got a job. He rarely comes home, even if he did he doesn't talk to me nor does he care a bit about interacting with anyone. 

I know deep down Natsume won't do this but there was evidence everywhere. He didn't even try to hide it. His act of adultery.

Hotaru knows this. She told me to divorce but I can't. I'm too in love with him.

After several attempts on calming down, I finally begin my day by cooking. My cooking is now better and delicious! All because of Anna! I make a bowl of spaghetti carbonara and eat it right away. Then I took a bath and quickly go to work.

I work as a singer and waitress at the cafe Anna and Nonoko build.

KLING

"Ohayo!" I yelled. "Ohayo, Mikan!" the twins said. "I hope we also have a great day today!" I said. "Yes!"

06.00 P.M

"Bye, Anna! Nonoko!" I waved at them. "Bye, Mikan!"

The cafe is placed closely with our house so I always walk home to avoid wasting expenses on transportations. The lights on the street flicker making it periodically dark. Usually, Natsume will come to pick me up. But now since he got a job raise, he rarely comes.

I'm scared.

There is one more thing that I haven't tell you. That I-- *UHUK* *UHUK* I ran back home. Hand covering my mouth.

"Keys, Keys.. *UHUK* *UHUK*" I searched for the keys to my house. After I found it, I quickly open the door and ran to the bathroom. *HUEK*... *HUEK*

This is the thing I haven't tell you. I got cancer.

He doesn't know about this. Maybe, even if he knows, he wouldn't care at all.

Only Hotaru knows this. Her brother who is a doctor said that I need to go on surgery but... I'd better live the rest of my life. The surgery costs a lot of money and I know that Hotaru wants to shoulder it for me but I didn't want to burden her with it. After all the surgery is not one hundred percent guaranteed to save my life. What if it failed and she wasted all her money on me?
