I miss you

chapter 16

Luffy:(choking on tears)  I'm sorry.

Nami was astonished by Luffy's action, how could he humiliate himself like this, why would he apologize to her, but she choked on her tears when she saw the sight of him like that while he was under her feet.

Luffy: (crying with his head still in the dirt) I'm sorry because I didn't know what you were going through. Please forgive me, Nami. Forgive me for a word I said to you that hurt your feelings, at the time. Forgive me for making my actions selfish at the time and I didn't know what you were going through.

Nami couldn't bear Luffy insulting himself, he had no fault, she was the one who made mistakes from the beginning. Forgive me, because I'm not stupid.

Nami grabbed him by the hands and lifted him off the ground. She looked at him and found his face full of tears. She took him in her hands in a long hug. Luffy wrapped his arms around her while he was still crying.

Nami: (crying) Luffy, why are you sorry? (sniff) You didn't do anything. (sniff) I'm......

Luffy tightened his hug on Nami as he tried to speak through his tears.

Luffy: (crying) It's my fault because I didn't know what you were going through and I left you to face all of this alone.

Nami: (crying) No, I'm wrong because I didn't tell you and hid a lot of things from you.

Luffy: Okay enough tears, we're back together again.

Nami nodded her head forcefully as she hugged him. They remained in this position for a while until Luffy moved away from Nami and looked at her with a smile that Nami had longed to see all these years. Luffy kissed her while still smiling. Nami returned the kiss and the remaining tears mixed with the smile and the kiss and it was a scene. Beautiful for all who watch them in the park.

Luffy and Nami moved away from each other when they heard the applause around them. They looked in amazement at the situation and found that the people around them were some smiling, some feeling emotional and crying, and some taking pictures. Nami blushed intensely and hid herself in Luffy's chest. Luffy smiled at this. The kind gesture he missed from her.

Girl: Wow, this was really touching. Mom, I hope my dad loves you like that.

The lady: (crying) Yes, my daughter, I wish he loved me like this.

Luffy took Nami in his arms like a bride, smiling, and headed towards his car. Nami wrapped her hands around his neck, smiling.

Luffy put him in his car and got into the car and headed home.

Luffy and Nami arrived at his house, very tired. They sat on the sofa, looking at each other lovingly, until Nami spoke.

Nami: Who told you about what I went through?

Luffy: Your mother.

Nami: (sigh) I should have expected this.

Luffy: Come on, it's good that she told me.

Nami: But Luffy, I didn't pay all the debts........

Luffy: Didn't you read the news, my love?

Nami was silent for a while. Did she hear Luffy say, “My love” now, or was it just an imagination from her mind?

Luffy: (smiling) My love, yes I said my love, don't be surprised. Have you seen the news or should I show it to you?
