Chapter 15

“Yamada Ryosuke... H-Hisashiburi.”

Right at that moment, Ryosuke just wanted to close his eyes and then wake up to a scary dream.

It was crazy how fate could play tricks on people and Ryosuke felt the need to just curse fate with what is happening with him right now.

There then was the girl who he fell in love with so bad that made him be Yamada Ryosuke the Player... And in front of him was the girl he now loves, who made him change for the better.

Two girls who he fell in love with... It was just ironic how the two of them changed him in two ways differently... And what's more crazy is that now he realized that those two girls are actually siblings.

“Mariya...” he said in a whisper. He smirked as he looked at the girl who had a beauty that everyone is envious of. She still had that charm and elegance that made Ryosuke fall for her.

The girl smiled as she bowed her head gently, trying to cover the sadness that was so obvious in her eyes. She was Ryosuke's first love, and he was hers as well. They had a love so sweet and so magical that the moment it ended, it felt like her heart stopped with it, too.

She had to admit that it was her fault that she lost a perfect guy and a perfect love, and heaven knows how she regretted the decision she made. If only time would go back, she would have never left him.

“Ryosuke...” a bitter smile crept into her lips and it literally took all her utmost effort to prevent herself from crying.

It took about a couple of seconds for her to compose herself, and as she lifted up her head to face her past lover, no trace of pain can be seen in her face. It was a mask she had tried so hard to perfect, an act she had long practiced to flawlessness.

“I missed you.” her voice was soft and sweet and it was like a music to everybody’s ear, except to Ryosuke and Miyu.

Ryosuke felt Miyu tensed the moment she heard Mariya's voice. And with one look, he knew that she was upset.

“Hey...” he touched Miyu's face and made her look up to him. Then he smiled and held her hand gently.

“Who is she?” Miyu asked, her voice clearly cracking.

“She's...”

“I'm your sister. Don't you recognize me, Mirai-chan?” Mariya asked as she walked closer to them. Her eyes were full of worry as she looked at her and searched her face.

“Sister? You? But... I... don't remember you at all...” Miyu slightly backed away as  she held her head which was already throbbing.

“Mirai-chan...”

“Miyu?”

Both Ryosuke and Mariya turned to look at each other. She looked curious as to what Ryosuke had called her sister, and he in turn was worried as to what will happen to Miyu.

“I really don't... remember...”

“Mirai-chan... I'm your onee-san~ Mariya-nee... Please... Please remember. We miss you. Dad misses you as well.” Mariya said as she walked towards the scared-looking Miyu and pulled her to a hug.

“Dad...?”

As if it was on cue, Miyu's head felt so painful like it was being hammered. She then saw images of places and images of people that seemed familiar.

            “You should act like your sister! Act like a real Shida!”

            “You should do better, Mirai! Why can't you just be like Mariya?!”

            “It's because of you that your mother died! At least make yourself useful!”

“Dad...? Mariya? Shida? This is all... This is all very confusing! I don't remember anything! And I don't even want to remember! Let go of me!” Miyu pushed Mariya away from her and held her head. She was getting really dizzy and it felt like she was walking on a water bed, she felt like everything was turning.

“I don't want... to remember...” she said as she looked back at Ryosuke who was mouthing something that she couldn't hear. And before Ryosuke could even reach her outstretched hand, she already fainted.

“What's wrong with her? Is she gonna be okay?” Ryosuke's voice could be heard even outside the hospital room. He looked totally stressed out and Chinen Yuri was even having a hard time trying to get his bestfriend to calm down.

Mariya was also inside the room looking mu
