Flashback

One year ago.

"Why didn't you tell me about Aya?" Toshiki was driving the car.

"Why should I tell you about my daughter?" Misaki was sitting in the backseat. She was holding Aya in her arms.

"She's my daughter too."

"You're far too busy with work and flirting with every woman you see," Misaki grimaced.

"I don't flirt with every woman, they are the one that come on to me. You're the only one Misaki."

"Oh please."

"Why don't you live with me?" He asked.

"That's not going to happen."

A truck was speeding, the vehicle ran pass the red light. It swerved and it got out of control.

"Toshiki, watch out for that truck!"

It was far too late. The truck hit his car. There was a collision, the car overturned.

Toshiki groaned. He took his seatbelt off. He got out of the car and went to Misaki.

"Please be okay," there was tears in his eyes.

He carefully carried Misaki out. She was coughing a lot. Misaki had bruises on her arm and cheek.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, I need to find Aya."

"You stay here, I find her."

"Okay."

Toshiki went into the car and got Aya. He noticed that she wasn't breathing. Toshiki performed CPR several times. By the time the ambulance arrived, it was too late. Aya had passed away.

"No, my baby," Misaki was holding a lifeless Aya in her arms. Tears fell down her cheeks.

Toshiki saw the drunk driver got arrested by the police. It made him angry that he survived and not Aya. Tears formed in his eyes as he comforted Misaki.

"Here's your coffee."

"Thank you Misaki."

He took a sip of his coffee.

"The coffee is cold."

"What do you want me to do about that?"

"Warm it for me."

"Do it yourself."

She walked off when she heard her phone ring.

"Hi Misaki."

"Hey Ibuki."

"Where are you?"

"I'm at work."

"Do you want to have lunch with me?" He asked.

"Sure, why not."

It was twelve thirty. They had lunch at a coffee shop.

"Did you wait long Ibuki?" Misaki asked.

"No, I just got here myself."

They ordered sandwiches and smoothies. She had a nice time talking to her friend.

Toshiki saw Ibuki embrace Misaki. His heart ache at the sight.

He waited until Ibuki left and coolly went into the coffee shop. He sat opposite her.

"What do you want?" She asked.

"I don't like it when you meet with other men."

"Why? Does it bother you that much?"

"Yes. Why look at other men when you have me."

"I'm not interested in playboys."

"I have my eyes on you."

"What do you mean by that?"

Without any warning, he pulled her into his arms. Toshiki held her lovingly.

"What do you think you're doing? This is a public place." She was flustered.

"I'm in love with you Misaki."

"What?" She was stunned by his confession.

"Can I love you? I want to kiss you Misaki."

Before she can protest, his lips touched hers. It was a sweet yet passionate kiss.
