The Forgotten one

Chapter 8

Normal POV

Mai was in the kitchen cooking some food for her and the child. She sat the child on the kitchen isle as she was cutting vegetable at the same time making Naru his tea and talking to the child. What Mai didn't notice was that Naru was standing at the door way. He was leaning on the door frame with his hand crossed over his chest and observing Mai. Uncertainty was clearly showed on his face as he approached Mai from behind and wrapping his hand around her mid-section taking Mai by surprise, all the while the child was watching them with curious eyes.

As soon as Mai was felt the hand around her, she knew who it was. She can distinguish his scent from other so easily it scared her that she was going to get hurt once again by the same man. She could feel Naru burying his face at the cruck of her neck and in haling deeply.

"Mai" Naru said

"...."

"Mai" he said once again

"Yes Devis- san" She replied as she was trying hard to maintain control over herself. While Naru stood straight and turned her around so they were facing each other.

"Mai I told you not to call me that. I need to know what happened, what happened to the Mai that I once knew"

"She died" her answer was short and simple

"No, she cannot be dead and I refuse to believe that that Mai I knew is dead, I refuse to believe the girl I love is dead and even if she was I want her back right here and now. Mai, I need you with me to survive I realise that now, I don't normally make mistakes but I made one that I regret every minute since then. I didn't mean to say what I said, but I don't know what came over me. You know me better than anyone Mai, probably better than I know myself and I don't do this confession and all, but with you Mai I don't know how to act, I always lose my mind when I'm around you. I need you like a heart needs a beat to survive so please Mai come back to me" Naru concluded and they were looking at each other intensely. The air between them was so thick, one can cut it with a butter knife. All that can be heard is small gurgling from the child and the water shimmering on top of the stove.

"You know the last sentence was so cliché, is so not you Naru" Mai broke the silence with a small whisper. "I understand that that, Naru I was hurt and you weren't there when I need you the most nor anyone else that I considered as a family. They all left me right after you left, I suffered so much it took all that I got to survive" tears rolled down from her eyes as she told Naru this.

"Mai, I'm here now and I will never leave your side again so please Mai please become mine and I'll take care of until my last breath so Mai will you be mine forever?"

Mai was shocked would be the understatement of the century, she was beyond shocked. Naru, her first love just asked her to be his; an indirect proposal and all she can do was nod her head and small hum of "yes".

With that Mai was pushed on top of the kitchen island and her lips were being devoured by Naru's own. Their lips moved in sync and her one hand went it to his hair and curled it around her fingers encouraging him to deepen the kiss and the other hand held on to his shirt at the back. While on of his hand went around her small waist and the other one to the back of her head. To what it seemed like an eternity they parted due to lack of air in their system. Their breaths were laboured as they rested their forehead on each other's and looked in to each other's eyes. Once again their lips were getting close to each other, however it was interrupted by a cry from the baby who were sitting there and witnessed the whole scene. Naru and Mai let go of each other as she jumped off from the kitchen island and fixed her cloths as did Naru. If someone were to walk in they would be able to guess what the two had been doing.

Mai went up to the crying infant and picked him up and put him over her shoulders and pat him so he would stop crying, while Naru prepared the food for the three of them. Suddenly they heard footsteps and voices approaching towards them and they knew who it was. Bou- san, Ayako, Yasu and Masako appeared around the corner and entered the kitchen and topped when they saw the sight in front of them. Naru with a milk bottle in his hand and Mai rocking a crying child back and forth.

"someone please pinch me, it seems like I'm dreaming of Mai and Naru's future" Ayako said.

"Then, I'm in your dream as well cause I'm seeing something similar" Bou-san whispered

Yasu whacked them both on their head with the newspaper that he was holding which earned a hay from both Ayako and Bou- san, while Masako's expression was unseen as she covered half of her face with her kimono sleeves.

"You guy aren't dreaming. I think they are preparing food for the child, it seems he is hungry. Can't you see that he is crying on top of his lungs" Yasu said as he approaches them and sat around the kitchen island, which soon followed by Monk, Ayako and Masako. Soon they went back to whatever they were doing which was once again interrupted by a sudden rumbling of the house and a screech from the attic.
