The bakery bell ring when Mio push the door and automatically the baker in the shop greet Mio happily. Mio smile back as she usually does.
"Hye Mio. Is everything fine? It's such a long time since you come here." Said Hibiki the cashier.
Mio chuckled when she noticed everyone stop their work to hear what she's going to talk about. She pulled the chair and put it in front of the cashier then she sips the coffee before smile while everyone patiently waiting for the story.
"Nothing happens. I'm too busy to go to the bakery and as you know I'm not living with my mother anymore. Now I live at my friend house, the ramen shop in the next neighbourhood." Said Mio casually.
Everybody in the bakery looked disappointed with Mio story. They were expecting some school romance story or she will tell them about the boy who confesses to Mio last year. Even a year have passed, they still don't the actual story and still getting their hopes high about Mio will tell them the story.
The smile on Mio faces still not faded. To think she already knows them for ten years or maybe more. His father opens this bakery because she loves the smell of bread and other pastries but everything becomes not okay after her mother want to sell this bakery.
Of course, they will fight until they win but thanks to Mio too, she tries to defend this bakery as her best so her mother would not sell the bakery. In the end, both of her parents divorced and Mio fathers couldn't take along Mio with him because her wife blackmails him that he can't see Mio again and the worst part is Mio's mother even tell her father she will kill their daughter if it needed.
Secretly, Mio came to the bakery and take some bread or pastries as her lunch at school. Sometimes, her father will prepare a bento for her. Her father forces her to come and take as many as she can because he knew that her daughter didn't get any money pocket and didn't eat enough.
Without Mio realized, she shed a tear. She won't know where her father fault and why her mother treat both of them like that. But, she is glad when her father tells her that he gets married to a woman who is ten times better than her mother.
Mio comes back to reality when she hears Hibiki called her. She sees everyone staring at her worried. But, the shocking part is the girl who is staring at her in the class is here and she with Haruki. Both of them staring at Mio with a confused face.
"Are you okay?" That is the first word Haruki said after he staring Mio with confusion.
"Yeah, are you okay? People here called you many times but you're still in your world." Add the girl.
She smiled. "I'm okay. Sorry if I'm being weird."
The girl suddenly rushed to Mio seat and Deja Vu, she greet Mio as she does at school. "Mio Adachi right? Haruki tells me a lot about you me. By the way, I'm Amaya Fujiki. You can call me Amaya, only special people can call my first name you know. And you're the special one."
The girl known as Amaya keeps smiling while Mio tries to not give a weird expression. She wanna talk but her tongue becomes numb and she feels awkward right now. Her eyes meet Haruki's eyes and send a sign to Haruki so he can help her. But Haruki just ignored it.
"Are you okay? Your face becomes red." She asked with worried.
Mio shook his head quickly to denied what she said. "I'm okay. For real. Amaya right? Nice to meet you. To think Haruki talk about me is unbelievable honestly." Mio chuckled as she looked at Haruki face.
Amaya becomes more excited when she looked at both of them. Haruki who sat at the corner baker far from them tries to hear their conversation while Mio still with her weird expression.
"Are you done? We need to go to another place. You need to come back before 7 right? Now already 4 pm." Said Haruki out of the blue.
Everyone in the bakery become silent when they hear Haruki words especially Amaya. The excited face on his face slowly faded. She already thought about many things and many topics to talk about with Mio.
Suddenly Amaya get up from the bench and pulled Haruki to get out from the bakery. But after a few minutes, Amaya shown up and quickly hold Mio hand before she smiled and chuckled. Mio can't process what is going on with Amaya.
"Stop doing that kind of face Mio, I can't control I laughed. I'm sorry because I can't hang out with you any longer. As you can see, my parents a little bit strict. The only reason why I can go out like this because of Haruki, so I'm sorry. Tomorrow, come to school early and then we can talk about many stuff! Make sure to come early okay. Bye!"
Before Mio could reply to Amaya, she already runs and left the bakery while Mio keeps the confused expression on her face. She doesn't how many times she keep the 'confuse' expression on his face today. Probably, Haruki will tell Kenta and Sugawara like this "Look, she does the stupid face again."
Hibiki pat Mio shoulder and she points toward the bakery door she wanna know about Amaya and Haruki. Most importantly what is their relationship because they can see through from the bakery Amaya and Haruki are holding their hand together.
"Don't ask me. I don't know about their relationship and that woman. Today is the first time I saw and talked with her so don't ask any question anymore. Did you know how creepy am I at school and just now? She greets me like I'm her best friend! I wonder if this is a dream." Mio shook his head many times to show them that she can't reply to their question.
Everyone in the bakery become upset when they see Mio refused to answer their question. In the chaos, suddenly the bakery bell ring.
When the person comes into the bakery, everyone's jaw drop including Mio. Why? Because that person is the guy who confesses to Mio last year. Kaito shocked when he sees Mio at the counter because he doesn't expect to see Mio at the bakery even though he prayed to meet Mio just now.
"How many unexpected guest that I need to meet today? I think I will get a heart attack." Mio whispers to herself while she still staring at Kaito.
