chapter 20

Shiho is in the living room with Fujiko. Sharon leave them earlier this morning. The television is turned on. Fujiko is watching news while Shiho is taking selfies.

"News flash! Yoko Okino and Ryusuke Higo call it quits! The couple ended the Engagement because of the cheating alleged! Ryusuke said it's not true but Okino's team confirmed it!" The TV reporter said.

Shiho suddenly look at the TV screen and see the footage of Higo followed by bunch of paparazzi's asking him if he really cheats. Shiho smirked.

"Looks like someone here is really happy about the break up." Fujiko commented.

"Karma's a b*tch." She smiled.

Few years Ago...

She's crying and feeling sad because Higo decided break up with her. She can't accept that he falls out of love.

'He promised to me that I'm the only woman he will ever love... that I'm the only one he will marry because he see our future together.' Her thoughts.

Tears can't stop escaping her eyes. All she do is to cry. She don't know what to do now that Higo is no longer her boyfriend, he become her world so now that he's gone, her world falls apart. Her heart broke into pieces and she don't know how to fix it. He's the only special man in her life.

Days went by... She drives on the way to his house just to begged for him to come back to her and that she's willing to forget everything and to start over. She's begging and crying in front of him. She told him she can't leave without him and she's so inlove with him. She didn't care if she looks stupid asking him to come back to her. She loves him and that's all that matter. His friends are laughing and recording everything that's happening. The video went viral and Shiho got bashed because Higo's team told the media that there's nothing really between them and Shiho is making up stories about them dating in private.

Sharon calls her just to tell her how shameful she was. Sharon see the video of her begging and crying in Higo's house, Sharon is blaming it's Shiho's fault and Higo already found a decent lady. She keeps lecturing Shiho and telling her that no one will accept her.

Present day...

Shiho met the director of stick with me in the studio. The team is done editing the film and they already sent the film at the Cannes committees waiting for approval. The director congratulates Shiho for doing a great job.

"Shinichi will be here in just a few minutes... I wish I'll work with you two again in the future." The director smiled.

"I'd fun filming this but I think I'm no longer pursuing acting." She calmly said.

"Oh my! Don't waste your talent! You're so gifted... you are the Angelina Jolie of Japan." The director complimented.

Shiho giggled.

"I'm not the AJ of Japan. Please don't disrespect Angelina like that." She humbly said.

The door went open and they see Shinichi, he walks towards them.

"Am I late?" He asked smiling.

"Yeah. It's a shame on you." Shiho joked.

Shinichi laughs.

"Hey this is the only time I got late. I am always punctual right?" He looks at their director who's smiling watching them. The director noticed their eyes glazing in each other like lovers.

"I'd like to put the behind the scenes in the end of the film, is it okay with you two? Mostly the behind the scenes who caught in the camera was your sweet moments so... I'm asking for your permission guys." The director said.

Shiho and Shinichi look at each other.

"I'm fine with it as long as it's alright with Shinichi." Shiho simply answered.

Shinichi looks at the director and smiled.

"Well yes. I am completely ok with it."

After having a conversation about their film the director call it a day. Shinichi pulls Shiho in the corner.

"Come with me?" He asked with a low voice.

Shiho smiled at him and take his hand. They use the staircase instead of elevator. They exit the building and Shinichi open the car for Shiho. She looks stunned. It's a brand new black car.

"What?" He laughs.

"I can't believe I owned my car now." He happily said.

"Shuichi brought this for me and it's all paid because of the contract of my new film. The one we film in Singapore?" He smiled.

Shiho looks so happy and proud of her boyfriend.

"You deserves it my love." She smiled sweetly.

The two of them ride on his car and scrolled street until the sky went to darkness. It's night and he stopped the car at the mountain to admire the night view. They didn't went outside afraid to be caught. They enjoyed the city lights while holding each other hand. She looks at him.

"Thank you." She simply said.

"For?"

"Proving Sharon is wrong." She smiled.

Shinichi sighed.

"No matter what she tells you to make you feel down, don't listen to her. You're worth it Babe. You are precious and I love you so much." He smiled.

She lean to kiss to him, he happily returned her kisses. They stopped and catch a breath, they stare in each other and smiled for a while.

"I'm so excited to start promoting stick with me film." She smiled.

"Me too. Promoting film means lots of time spending with you."

Meanwhile...

Higo is with his team players friends drinking in his house.

"So now that she calls off the Engagement what are you gonna do? You're losing fans and also the brands that supports you didn't want you to sign up for them." One of his friend said.

"It's ok. I have someone who I can use." He smiled.

"Who? Shiho? After all the sh*t you did... you expect her to come back to you?" He asked curiously.

"She's crazy in love with me so it will be easy to woo her again. She's too easy to get." Higo proudly said.

The boys laughs and high five to him. Higo smirked.
