Chapter 1 :

My name is Ryuzaki, I'm only 22 this year but I've been through heartaches during my teenage life that caused me to lose hope and trust in love & marriage. Just because of this girl, Chizuru, whom I met in my High School. Now I'm sitting at our usual bench near the basketball court that we loved most. Mine & Chizuru's, the love of my life.

I never knew what love was all about. Until I met Chizuru, she taught me lots of stuffs. One of them was The greatest grief comes from despair. At first I didn't really understand this sentence but now, I understand it so well that it hurts even when I thought about it. Before I met her, life was nothing. My life was Basketball. The sound of dribbling basketball sound like my heartbeat. I feel alive only when I'm playing basketball. But she changed me totally. And after all that, she left me here,Broken. Those heartaches she gave me,after years weren't only the one that hurts most. Those years I've felt happy with her but there were times spending through those years of heartaches were really total pain and despair that caused my tears to fall each time I reminisce about it.

I've loved Chizuru like I've never loved anyone before. Loving her was like a duty of my everyday life. I gave my heart and soul to her. I've given her everything. So much that I've nothing else to give her anymore. She was the sweetest girl I've ever met. I have given her so much of my love and done so much for her, but never once I would received her love in return. So I did what I felt was right, I kept on showering Chizuru my love and never asked for her love in return. Even though the past was a devastating and saddening one, I have never regretted any move I made to love Chizuru more. And as days past , my love for her grew stronger and till now it still remains the same. My story begins when I met Chizuru 7 years ago...
