her parents separated. she was in fourth year high. it was a gloomy saturday night. they went to have dinner at a fancy restaurant.. Ristorante Cracco. it was perfect. cold night. sumptuous dinner served at its finest. she was wearing her favorite little black lacy dress. black pearl earrings. black diamond cocktail ring. and of course, her favorite expensive black open-toed pumps she got as a gift from her mom. the whole black ensemble was not her choice. it was her mom who got it all mixed and matched together. she did not care. as long as her mom chose her look for that family dinner. she did not know what is in for that night. family time was all in her mind. until after having dinner and she was about to pick up her black purse.. her mom said, "my beautiful doll, your father and i have something to tell you". Miyu, clueless of what her mom is going to tell her, is somewhat nervous and startled. suddenly, their perfect dinner night felt not so perfect. she felt like there's something wrong. Miyu said, "yes, mom. what is it?". Yumi, her mom, started explaining to her how she and her father's relationship have been cloudy lately and everything is just not working between them. yes, they were telling Miyu they would want a legal separation. Miyu, still in shock, was totally confused that time. "what is wrong? nothing felt like imperfect. nothing seemed wrong all of those years that i have been living with my mom and dad." though she wanted to ask a lot of questions to her parents, she remained calm and responded "ok, i guess i just have to deal with this. i hope i could do something to make things better but you already made your decision. i think i can not do anything anymore. for now."
