They say that marriage is true love, a sacred bond that has genuine vows and affection.

Then why..

When you were marrying Satoru,

Why did it feel so empty? Why did it feel like there was really no genuineness or sincerity in this so called 'wedding ceremony'?

Satoru's father and yours wanted you two to marry. While your father told you that he was also nervous when he had married your mother, It was just all for business, and you were nervous if this marriage could even ever work.

For the weekend since he left, Satoru didn’t come home. You spent sleepless nights waiting for him in a cold king-sized bed, being reminded over and over of the words that he said to you before he chased after Sera that day.

Attention-seeker.

You recalled the fury in her eyes when you opened the door after she waited for Satoru all night at the hotel room where they were supposed to meet. She eyed you with disgust and called you a liar with quivering lips, before bursting into tears.

He noticed that you weren’t in bed when he came out of the bathroom, so he searched for you somewhere around the penthouse only to see you swimming on the rooftop’s infinity pool, resting your arms on top of the tiled surface while staring at the beautiful cityscape.

You must have been in deep thought because you didn’t seem to notice how Satoru slid the glass door and made his way to sit on one of the sun loungers.

"Are you coming back to bed?"

His tone was nonchalant, and quite calm.

Like he gave a fuck.
