Her Inheritance [girlxgirl](Lesbian Story)

CHAPTER 6 : THE NEWS

Her eyes grew wide as his words sinks in.
'We need to get married in 15 days!'

"What the what? You say it like it's nothing! Or are you playing with me again? Because if you are. I'm not amused" She crossed her arms on her chest.

"Oh c'mon!" He gingerly reached for a lock of her hair and smelled it.
"I know you want me." He smiled then started singing 'I know you want me' of Pitbull while he danced to his own beat.
"You know I want cha. I know you want me. You know I want chaaa.."

"You're creepy." Shuna backed away as if he has something viral.

"Creepy but stunningly handsome." Another grin formed his lips.
"And your husband to be." He wiggled his eyebrows at her.

"I felt a shiver down my spine. An alarming feeling as if the peace and tranquility of the universe were disturbed."
Shuna darted her eyes from left to right.

Yoshiya leaned in closer. He listened intently, afraid to miss a word she would utter.

Shuna then lashed her head towards his direction and pointed her index finger to his face.
"And there it is! The disturbance!" Her jaw dropped, making her look dumbfounded.

Then her phone rang.

"Nope. Nah ah. That..." Yoshiya glanced at the gadget on the table. "Is your disturbance."

"Shut up!" She hissed.

Her annoyed expression always amuse him. It always gives him satisfaction.

She stuck her tongue out then proceeded on getting the phone and head out the door to answer it.

"Hey. How's he?" A concern voice came out of her earphones.

"I dunno. He's been there for 6 hours now."

After Shuna's father was taken for surgery she quickly called Kiyoshi. She listened to her fret yet her mind was astray then. She was on autopilot. Talking but not responding to Kiyoshi's questions. She also told her about Yoshiya before signing the contract. But missed the part about the marriage, since she herself also just discovered about it.

"I'm sorry. If only I ca-"

"Heey. It's okay. No biggie. Besides, you'll be back in a few days. I don't wanna burden you with more trouble. Your head's already fully booked."
Shuna cuts her off.

Kiyoshi softly laughed at her. She knew that even if Shuna's drained, she's still Shuna. Cheerful yet cautious.

"Just don't forget my chocolates, I want those japanese matcha chocs or something, and... Your promise to make me a cheesecake. Then we're even." She continued, smiling to herself.

It's hard to pretend that she's okay. When in fact deep inside she's a wreck. But she has to be strong. For her father. For Kiyoshi. For herself.

"But you're the one who's supposed to be making ME cheesecakes."
Kiyoshi complained.

Shuna can imagine her girlfriend pouting.
"Tsk. Fine. But just once." She grumbled.

She felt a sudden change in the air as she hears Kiyoshi sighed loudly.

"Look. Take a rest. Don't worry, okay? He'll be fine. Besides, if you get sick... Who'll take care of you?"

A ghost of a smile appeared on Shuna's lips.
"I'll get sick when you get back so you can take care of me." She tried to lighten the mood.

"That's not a good joke." Kiyoshi huffed.

"I know. But it's better than death jokes."
She laughed awkwardly. She can't say it out loud but she's already dying inside.

Time passed by slowly. Shuna keeps on glancing at her phone to check the time. It's been 18 hours since the operation. But she still doesn't have a clue on what's happening.

After the 10th hour, she started checking on with the nurse on duty every 30 minutes. But they just kept on reassuring her that the doctors are doing their best for the operation to be successful, even though they all know the surgery's critical. They still hoped.

She stole a glance at Yoshiya who was busy playing on his phone. Oblivious to the world.

She dialed a number.

"Hey it's me. Yeah. How's the babies?" She paused. Listening to the person on the other line.

"Thanks. I owe you one.... Don't worry. I will. Take care. Bye."

Shuna's thankful to have a friend near her apartment. It's her only friend. But a true one at that. They talk and see each other seldom but they're always there for one another.

She placed her phone back on the bedside table. Feeling her eyes getting heavy. She looked at the clock on the wall. Her vision is failing due to sleep deprivation. She was already letting exhaustion prevail when a soft knock was heard, followed by a click on the door.

Her father's doctor peeked in. She jolted up, meeting him halfway across the room. Worry visible on her eyes.

"How's he?" She asked anxiously. The doctor looked at her with a serious face. Pity on his eyes.

He shook his head.

"Come with me."

He gestured for her to follow him. He went out the door as Shuna looked back to Yoshiya. She received a nod.

Fearing that she might be too late if she doesn't follow suit. She swiftly raced outside the door to the doctor's side. Matching his pace as he entered a room.
