Rhyu's POV --- how is she?
"congratulations man!"
"Ri! you really made it!"
"Riiiii. Congrats dude!"
"told yah, it will be a breeze. Congrats"
Rhyu accepted all the congratulatory remarks from his friends. They are now in Kenju's newly open acoustic bar,AMIRA, to celebrate his new success. He already graduated in his Master's degree last May and COMPAX, his start up company accepted four big offshore projects that will last for 5 years.
Kenju, one of his childhood friend is also one of his partner in COMPAX. He, together with Shigo and Ayaka and one other friend, Maru, are his investors cum partners.
Rhyu is the CEO/ President,and his four friends are his shareholders. Ayaka also play as his Chief Internal Affair Officer, who ensure all administrative and government papers are up to date and compliant. His 3 other friends acts as financer and entrust him to do all the works which is fine by him as he prefers to build COMPAX on his own ideology.

'Finally its over. Hopefully this coming months will be fruitful as well' he thought.
Rhyu gazes at his friends. Happy that he succeeded but at the same time, he is thinking what to do next aside from managing his company.
Last year has been a crazy year for him and finally he was able to tide it out real well. Now, only COMPAX is on his plate and he is already ransacking his brain for possible projects or adventure outside his work.

'Hey man. What you're up to now?" Maru pull him out from his thoughts with his question. Maru reach out his hand and give Rhyu a new bottle of budweiser, which he accepted automatically.
"I' m still thinking about it. Why, do you have any suggestion?"
Maru sat besides him on the black coach inside Kenju's office, where they are celebrating. Accoustic music has been playing on the background, courtesy of the live band outside.
"ammmm....Why don't you try and be a part time lecturer or something. You know just to add spice to your plate" Maru suggested as he eye the poster of a new band on the wall.
"Not now. I'm not yet ready for that. Besides, my free time now is very limited" He answered then chugged his drink.
"Just suggesting. all's good with you man.Success and everything so I know it'll be easy peasy.. Anyways, I'm planning to visit Saki tomorrow. He's connected to big account in Dubai. Ma'be you need to see him for possible accounts add-on. You know just an addition to your pot of gold." Maru casually throws his phone in the air before catching it while looking at Rhyu.
"Saki?---"
How is she?
"..yeah sure. " Rhyu space out as he thought of that incident a year ago. Its been months since he remembered the girl but now Maru's remarks reminded him of the girl.
'I hope she is ok now. I didnt see her or her friends after that night.' He thought.
