Chapter 27
Three days have passed since the engagement between Mayumi and Tennou was broken.
Since then, Shihou has been busy taking care of the documents for his engagement with Mayumi, and he feels pleasant about it. If being this busy means he'll be with her for the rest of his life, he'll endure this. It's been two days since they last met, and he misses her already.
To get engage with Mayumi, he must first ask her father, Seichi, for his blessings. He was stunned when he gave Shihou his approval. At first, he thought he was messing with him and would beat the hell out of him later on. But his following statement made his blood run cold and his skin pale. Seichi glared at him, and he swore he could feel the bloodlust in those eyes.
Of course, it will be natural for him to be protective of his daughter because she is his only child and a girl. Mayumi is the little princess he cherishes, and Shihou plans to take her away from him. In his opinion, he'll feel that too, with his and Mayumi's children. He blushes lightly while smiling. It may be too soon for such a thought.
"What's that smile for?" A monotone voice said.
Startled, he quickly turns around to see Himari, with wavy, short platinum blond hair and her natural grey eye color.
"Himari you--"
"Yes, I did! It must be strange to see me with my natural hair color and eyes and hair this short, huh?" Himari smirked, slightly teasing him.
She had a slight smile that didn't reach her eyes. Shihou looks at her, and he can feel the sadness that seeps through her because he knows the meaning of that look.
"It's not that! Just it's been a while since I last saw you with your natural looks."
The last time he saw her with her natural looks was before she got together with Tennou. Himari tends to change her hair color as a disguise; wearing contacts also helps her poor eyesight. Apart from that, the looks she's giving him now worry him. She's conflicted about something, and he knows what it may be.
"What's the matter? Is it about Tennou?" He asks, concerned.
Himari looked at him with a sad smile, tears forming in the corners of her eyes as she began to remember what had happened.
"I met him earlier when I finished fixing my papers in school. I visited my classroom. I didn't know that he'll be there...."
~~~•••~~~•••~~~•••~~~
Himari is standing in front of her classroom window. She'll miss this place. She only has two months left before they move abroad. Of course, she's opposed to this idea, but the Ame's control her life now. She didn't know what she had done in her past life to have this miserable life right now. But why is she suffering like this?
Being worried is not suitable for the baby, but she can't do anything but worry. It feels like something is missing, like she is forgetting something. Something vital, but she can't quite figure it out. Is it related to the memory she lost because of her past trauma? What's so important that she has forgotten?
"Mari..." She cringes as she hears the voice.
There's only one person who calls her that. Turning around slowly, she saw him standing in front of the door. He looks at her sadly.
"What are you doing here, Miya-sama? And how come you know that name? You aren't supposed to know that..." She asked, looking down with a shaky voice. She wanted to cry. But she's stopping herself, she can't cry in front of him, she can't! Mari is the nickname Tennou gave her. If he's calling her by that, then it must mean...
"I'm sorry, Mari..." At this, she looks up at him, shock written all over her face.
What? Does he remember everything now?
"W-what do you mean?!" Himari clenches her fist to her chest to stop herself from crying. Is he messing with her right now?
"I didn't lose my memories. I pretended so I could execute my plan to be able to marry you. I thought at first that it was foolproof. But Birdy falls in love with Kitty and you... you came back and got together with that bastard."
She looks at him with disbelief on her face. Himari doesn't have a word to say. He lied to her. The man she loves so much lied to her.
"Why him, Himari?! I can accept any guy, but not him! Have you already forgotten what he tried to do to you in the past?! No, scratch that! Perhaps you still haven't remembered anything, that's why you...!" Tennou angrily yelled while clenching his fist in anger.
"W-what do you mean?! I don't know what you are talking about! You... you! You can't tell me what to do and who to choose! Why did you have to do all that shit! I hate you! Ten-chan!!!" Himari cried as she fell.
She may have said those words to him, but it didn't mean anything. She loves him so much that she'll do whatever he asks. No, that's not true! Himari no longer knows what she feels regarding him. She wasn't sure if she was still in love with him anymore. What she is sure of right now is that she is devastated by the current turn of events.
Tennou walks toward her and hugs her tight. He doesn't want to let her go because he knows she'll be gone when he lets go of her. He calmly calls her name and kisses her as she looks up at him.
He misses her so much. This is their first kiss after all that incident. He doesn't want to stop; he doesn't want to let her go, but they need to breathe. After pulling away, he told her how much he loves her, while she continue to cry.
They are a crying mess as they kiss each other together again. That's until Himari realizes she shouldn't be doing this because she's already engaged with Yuki. She pushed Tennou away and stood up.
"I'm sorry! I... please forget about me!" She shouted, walking away. Leaving him sitting alone on the ground.
As she walked down the hallway, someone grabbed her arm so tight that she winced from the pain. Looking back to see who it was, her eyes grew wide. There stood Yuki, and he looked furious. He gripped her arm more tightly than before.
"Do I need to remind you who you belong to?" He threatened, leaning in, his eyes holding a murderous intent. Making Himari shiver, it feels familiar. Something about this feels familiar.
"W-what?! What are you talking about, Yuki? Let me go! I'm hurting!" He grabbed her in the face and made her look up to him.
At that moment, she finally remembers the thing that she has forgotten. The thing that kept bugging her since she started being with Yuki. This was a mistake!
"You are mine! And there's nothing you can do about it anymore, Himari! You won't escape me this time! I'll make sure that you're going to stay this time, even if I need to confine you and tie you up again! Do you understand that?" He whispered threateningly, while the last part was sickly sweet. There's nothing that Himari can do but nod her head. Yuki smiles and kisses her forehead before leaving her alone in the hallway.
Now, she remembers how deranged Yuki was when they met as children. How one day he illegally imprisoned her when they were still children and how she couldn't do anything unless he ordered. How Yuki tried to kill her once so, there'd be no chance of her leaving him. Yuki is the reason she met Tennou because he is the one who saves her from that hell hole she lives in.
She loses her memories of Yuki because of the trauma that she experienced. The only memories she remembers about him are before what had transpired. She got back into the hell hole she had once escaped from before without realizing it.
~~~•••~~~•••~~~•••~~~
"Is everything okay between the both of you now?" Shihou asks, looking at Himari, who's deep in thought. She looks up at him sadly.
"Yeah, you can say that, I guess? Oh, and congratulations on your engagement with Mayumi-sama!" She said, standing up to leave.
He looks at where she disappeared before going back to his work. He felt reassured that both of them were fine, but he felt Himari was still hiding something. He hopes she opens it up to him soon.
Entirely focusing on his work now makes him feel tired. He wants to cuddle with Mayumi at his home. But he needs to finish this soon so that they will finally be together! He sighed and continued his work when suddenly someone covered his eyes.
"Guess who~~~" A voice he'll recognize even though he is miles away said.
"It's my future wife!" He said confidently with a smirk. She removes her hands, and he looks back to see her face red and embarrassed.
"Y-you! Don't suddenly say that!!!" She said, hiding her face in her palms. He smiled at her, taking her hands off his eyes and cupping her face.
"I love you...." He said, eyes full of love. Mayumi smiles and returns his smile.
"I love you too!" She said happily as he kissed her.Download Novelah App
