Forbidden (Kamisato Ayato)

Ten

"Ayaka, Tohma, Aether, Paimon. Would you mind looking after Ayano today?"

Today was rather a busy day for the head of the Kamisato Clan, yet he seem rather bright and excited

"Oh sure brother! It's been awhile since I look after my nephew"

Ayaka giggle, obviously pleased to spend time with her little nephew

Same could be tell by the looks of others who has smile on their faces.

"Master seems rather bright today? Does something happened?"

One of the employees of the estate spoke at each other as their Master passed by them, bouquet of flowers in hand

"Stupid! Did you forgot? Today is the return of My Lady (First name) after few months of treatment"

"Oh! No wonder why Master seem excited"

"Of course he is! There is a rumor going around back then that My Lady sickness is incurable, how lucky are we to find a doctor that could actually cure someone on their death bed"

"Hey you two! What are you chatting around? Go back to work!"

Today was a good day, the sun was shining brightly but not enough to burn your skin, the cool breeze of air, the way the sakura blossom dance in the air. It was a good day as the Head of the Kamisato Clan walk around the street the Capital with bouquet of flower on his hand, the smile on his face never seem to flatter as he often return the greetings that was given to him.

It been a few months, almost a year when you were sent into Leanne's home for your treatment. Honestly it was hard, not having to see you for a year was already a torture to him. Having the fact that he was forbidden to see you during your treatment would probably took a toll on him but thanks to your son, he remain sane.

But then, looking back, he wonder how he manage to stay sane when he could barely prevent himself from dashing to were you were right now.

Leanne mentioned that she would be the one to dropped you off, still rather than picking you up on the place the doctor mentioned.

He headed towards one of the most secluded part of the capital, turning around the corner of the familiar path.

For the first time in few years, he stare at the back of the woman he loves the most.

For the first time in almost two years, there he see you standing, your back facing towards him as it seems like you were watching the huge sakura blossom tree.

Calmly walking towards you, it took him all his might to prevent himself from running after you.

So standing right behind you, he watch you turn around as if you already know. Because you know.

"Darling"

As you turn around with a gentle and soft smile, a tear roll down his cheeks as he pull you in his shaking arms, bouquet of flowers laid gently on the grass.

"I made you wait didn't I?"

He didn't answer, he just rest there, holding you in his arms as he silently cry in pain, longing and relief as if he was holding it in for a very long time.
