"What?" She couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"I know this is a lot to process but it's the truth, Misaki."
"When?"
"Four years ago."
"Why are you telling me this now?" She asked.
"I just never had the courage. I know you hate me."
"Kai, I don't hate you. If I did, I wouldn't be living with you at all."
"Do you see me as a man?"
"That thought never cross my mind."
"I want you to look only at me. Give me a chance."
The way he was looking at her, it feels like he's staring deep into her soul. He was being genuine and sweet for the very first time. It made her heart skipped a beat.
She surprised him when she planted a soft kiss on his cheek.
"What was that for?" His cheeks redden.
"I'm only giving you one chance, if you screw this up, I will definitely move out."
Toshiki couldn't help but smile.
"Did you see the cherry blossoms?" He asked.
"How did you know?"
"There is a pink petal in your hair."
"Is it gone?" She gently dusted it off.
"No, I get it for you."
He carefully took the petal off her lavender hair. It made her heart race.
"You're blushing Misaki."
"It's because you're standing too close."
He took her hand in his and gently gave her a reassuring squeeze.
"Do you want me to drive you anywhere?" He asked.
"Yes, to our daughter."
One hour later, they were at the cemetery. Tears trickled down her cheeks. She couldn't stop crying.
"What's wrong?" He looked concerned.
"Our daughter would've been two years old this year."
Misaki place a bouquet of flowers on her daughter's grave. Ever since she lost her daughter in a car accident, her world turned upside down. It felt like her heart shattered into a million pieces.
Toshiki pulled Misaki into his arms as he comforted her. He tried to remain strong for Misaki, however tears formed in his eyes.
"I'm so sorry, it was my fault that we lost our Aya."
"No, it wasn't. It was the other driver's fault. He was intoxicated at that time and he went to jail for it. Don't ever blame yourself."
The couple took one last look at Aya's photo before they leave.
"Goodbye my darling Aya," Misaki said.
"Aya, my daughter. I promise to cherish and protect your mother for eternity."
