-I didn't get much sleep last night because I'm to hyped for later!! Eeek! I'm really excited!-
-Hmmm... Since it's my first time training with a friend... Maybe I'll cook him something as a token of appreciation? Hmmm... Eeek!? Why!? I don't even know how to cook! I'm so hopeless... And I don't even know what he likes! Ugh...-
-I argued with myself for half an hour, and decided to cook for him, I was hesitant but decided to ask my mother on what she usually makes for a bentou... But is it a good idea to ask her? It's okay she's my mother after all! I think... Hesitating, I called out to my mom that is preparing breakfast-
"Mom!"
"Yes? Honey...?"
"What did you cook for a bentou...?"
"A bentou?! And for who could it be...?!"
-my mom was shocked at the idea of me making a bentou for someone-
"Uh... Ummm... It's none of your business..." -I can feel my face turned bright red as I turned at the opposite direction of my mom to hide my face-
"My Lil daughter is all grown up... Making a bentou for someone..." -a tear dropped from her eye-
-I quickly turned to her and said-
"He's only a friend!"
-I regretted that I said that...-
"A guy! And who is the lucky man that had stolen my dear daughter's heart..."
-she smiled at the thought of Riven cooking for a man-
"Just teach me how to cook please..."
"Of course dear, anything to make that man fall for you..."
"I told you he's only a friend!"
"Okay let's just brush things off and get started, okay?"
"Okay... Thanx mother..."
-my mother and I started cooking, but from time to time she teases me and ask questions like "say... What is the name of my future son in law?" Or "since when did you started seeing him?" And I always answer... "You don't have to know..." Or "I only think of him as a friend" or "it's none of your business!" but my mother seems to notice that I always blush when it comes to him as the topic-
(AN: Riven is a respectful girl, even if she talks to her mom like "It's none of your business!" She's just saying it because she is just so embarrassed and shy when it comes to love, marriage, couple etc... Even if the person she's speaking with is her own mother, but she really loves and respect her mom, pls don't misunderstand her personality! Okay!? Thanx!)
-In the end, the food that me and my mom(but mostly me) prepared was half successful, Because I'm quite stubborn I made 3/4 of it myself, and I don't know what will be the out come... Because I don't even know what he wants...! Ugh(sigh)... I'm so hopeless...-
-after arguing with myself I decided to go and bring the bentou, after I took a bath, Of course...-
-I was so excited that I forgotten to eat breakfast-
-it's now high noon when I saw the Sakura tree on the hill like terrain-
-ugh... I'm so stupid! It's already this late... Maybe he already left? (Sigh)-
-I felt like giving up and go back home, but I saw a glimpse of his head rising from the ground as I ran towards him, it made me feel really happy... he waited all this time for me ^_^-
"I should hurry up and make up for being late... I'm pretty sure that he may hate me now... But I mean... He's really kind... Maybe the way he thinks about me didn't change...?"
"Yeah... Yeah! I'm sure that he's really kind and won't hate me... Unlike the others... After all, I trust him... Truly... And he even wanted me to be his friend!" -I tried to cheer myself up by believing that he is really a kind person that will never start disliking someone for such a small detail-
-but even if I tried to cheer myself, I couldn't prevent myself from drowning from anxiety-
"Maybe... Maybe if he knew who I really am... the way he'll treat me will change... But... I don't want that! I don't want to lose him... I don't know why? But deep in my heart I always want to be with him... But... I'm just being selfish... He doesn't think the way as me... Maybe he's just pretending to be in good terms with me..." -Just as the thought of him leaving me makes my heart ache so badly, I don't even understand why? I just noticed now but... My eyes are already filled with tears-
"No! No! He isn't like the others... He wants to be my friend for who I am! At least, that's what I want to believe"
-as I thought of this I got closer and closer to the Sakura that I can already see his lower body, I quickly wiped my tears off and hoped that he won't notice-
To Be Continued
(AN: Look... I'm really sorry if this chapter is really sad... I don't know what came over me... I was just drowned in anxiety plus while I typed this chapter, I listened to really depressing songs... So ummm... Yeah... I wanted to change the scenery for a bit but as you know nah... I don't want to spoil even if you already read the chapter 9 but I'm sure that you already know the outcome)
(Good luck to me and thanx for reading <3 this is a special chapter! Like 5, 5.5, 5.6 but 10! It's only a replay of the previous chapters but with Riven's view so it will be long like the previous special chapter please keep reading! I really appreciate it!)
