Under The Moonlight

Chapter 3-The Ending!

Chapter 3

Aoko's POV:-

"He's no more!" I heard Hakuba-kun answering on the phone.

I didn't care to whom he was telling this because along with the frame I was holding, my heart also broke into pieces. Kaito is no more? What the hell is he saying? It can't be true! Kaito won't leave me alone like this. No way! Tears were flowing like a river from my eyes. I had already lost Dad and now Kaito.

I collapsed down, covering my face within my palms and sobbing.

"Aoko!" Hakuba-kun held me.

"You're lying, Hakuba-kun! You're lying, right?" I can't accept the fact Kaito has left me alone.

"I don't want to accept it either, but yes, Kaito is no more with us!" no matter how much he explains I can't accept it. I don't want to accept it.

"NO!" I yelled.

Hakuba-kun pulled me in a hug. I couldn't stop crying. Losing Kaito is losing my own heartbeat. Ever since we were kids, we were together all the time. Kaito loved bulling me with his magic tricks but was also protective and caring about me. He always made me smile when I was alone. So, I never left his side. When his Dad left this world, Kaito was so broken. Yet he managed to smile all the time. He hardly cried in front of me. So, when he told me the truth of him being the Kaitou KID and his reasons behind it; I wanted to support him. But only if I knew that it would cost him his life, I would've never let him go.

All those moments with him flashed in front of my eyes. We had so much fun together. And there's yet to come in our lives. No! Kaito is not dead! My Kaito is not dead! I loved him. I loved him for all these years. I had decided to confess my love for him when he returns. I can't live without him.

"Aoko, clam down! I know it hurts!" Hakuba-kun was trying to calm me down.

But this storm inside my heart won't calm down so easily.

"I need to go, Hakuba-kun!" I tried to free myself from his hug.

"Where do you want to go?" he held my hand and stood up.

"To mine and Kaito's place of memories," I replied within my sobs.

"I'll take you there," he replied.

"No! I want to go alone!" I wanted to be alone for some time.

"But-"

"Please Hakuba-kun! I want to be alone for some time!" I interrupted him.

"Okay." He freed my hand from him.

The moment he freed my hand, I rushed out of the door and started running towards the place of our memories, the Clock Tower. Tears still flowing like a river and Kaito's smiley faces flashing in front of my eyes, I kept running.

"KAITO!" I cried his name.

Moments later I reached there and looked up at the Clock Tower.

"Ne Kaito, you won't leave me alone, right? Please come soon! I'll wait but you need to return safely here. Kaito!" I had no strength because of running and crying continuously. I knelt down on the grass and hugged myself, sobbing badly.

"KAITO, YOU IDIOT!" I yelled and started sobbing loudly.

I can't control these tears now. How dare Kaito to leave me alone? Can't he see how much it hurts!

"Ne Kaito, please come back. I'll never quarrel with you, I'll not stop you from doing your magic tricks on me, I'll never complain about you to your mom, and I'll never make you eat fish. Just come back! I'm nothing without you!" I sobbed again.
