Cloud Prince 「雲の王子」[Cell Phone Novel]

Clouds (ii)

Clouds have always been a nuisance.

Even to the naive and innocent me 

many, many years ago...

"Mother?"

"Yes, Asami?" 

Her voice was sweet and patient. Just like always.

"Mother...
why can't I see Mr. Sun today?" I asked.

To that simple question,

she grinned widely and let out a tiny giggle.
A gentle laugh. Just like always.

"Well, Asami, 

that's because Mr. Sun is resting now."

She noted softly, 

her face smiling close to mine as she held me in her arms.

Mother was always so happy.

               "Is that so?"

I smiled back- unquestioningly accepting her answer that day. 

But that was because I didn't know better.
