HAUNTED BY THE GHOST OF YOU [NI-KI] | [니키] | [2]

3- The past is behind us

NARA'S POV:

I glazed at the hospital floor beside my bed instead of the man that just annouced to me that he was my love. I couldn't face him because of the embarasment of not remembering him even though it wasn't my fault. But i had to ask his name one day, i couldn't call him sir for the rest of my life.

"What's your name?" i managed to look at him and genuinely smile.

"Riki, Nishimura Riki" he answered with a soft smile on his face. It was my first step into falling in love with him again.

"Why did you fell in love with me, Riki?" i questioned him afterwards.

"You were different than others" Riki was smiling while looking at the ground, i didn't know why was i different but it made me blush.

Even when i couldn't remember him we seemed to click right away.

"What did happen yesterday?" i wanted to know the answer so badly since i felt sharp pain in my stomach and heard a slight ringing sound in my head.

"Please calm down Nara but I'm about to tell you something that could scare you."

It wasn't a great beginning of the sentence and i started getting worried.

"I'm a mafia boss and i have a lot of enemies and one of them did this"

A mafia boss? An enemy?

"Wow it sounds like it's from a book" i shouted in a giggle. I didn't care about the past because i couldn't remember it anyways.

Riki giggled at my reaction. I could tell at first he was suprised i didn't panic or something.

"i knew you were different" he mumbled to himself a sentence i could hear.

"Riki? Can we please start from the beggining?" i asked him and all i got was a nodd in reply.

It is the beginning for me but the continue for him.

RIKI'S POV:

I failed. I failed to let her go. I didn't have the guts to do so. I started hating myself for the decision i made because she could get hurted all over again but i was happy. Happy she didn't let go off of me. Heppy she gave me a second chance in proving to her that i can be good.

When Nara said she wants to start from the beginning, it was weird for me since i couldn't forget our past.

I was quite scared we won't have the same bond as before. There was blood, promises, trust before and that was what got us together. Now i will try to do the best for her so she would feel with me like she is..... home.

Two days later...

NARA'S POV:

Two days passed since my accident and me and Riki seemed to get off on the right foot. We laughed a lot and he told me many things about myself. That i was a fighter and more. I didn't knew what that meant but it made me look brave.

The doctor told me that i will be able to go home finally so i was excited since i got up. Riki wasn't waiting for me this morning and i wondered where was he. He sacrificed his work for me and took days off even when it was hard for him to do so.

I was sitting on the bed waiting for Riki to barge in the room. A few minutes later he came with a bouquet of flowers. I screamed in excitement of Riki bringing me my favourite ones.

"NO WAY" i shouted making Riki's smile grow wider. He handed me the bouquet that i put on the table beside me. I raised my hands to hug Riki. He seemed to be happy from all the positive energy between us after such an incident.

And i was too. I couldn't wish for a better boyfriend.
