Chapter – 3

It's been an over a week since Miyu got her ankle twisted and it's finally a Sunday to relax and just be lazy. This is also the day when all her time is for Ruu as all the other days most of her time is gone in the work.

Miyu woke up with a fresh start and as soon as she saw Ruu quietly sneaking in her room she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. Ruu tiptoed towards her and when he was about to jump on her, Miyu sat up gathered him in her arms and fell back on the bed dragging him along with her. Laughter filled the once quiet room as Ruu pouted and said, "You were awake. That's not fair. I wanted to sneak up on you."

Miyu laughed and ruffled his hair while saying, "Well better luck next time." Miyu teased him by poking her tongue at him. Ruu fake glared then pumped his fist in air and said, "I will get you next time mama. Better be careful."

"Sure sure. I will be waiting honey. So what do you want to do today?" asked Miyu getting out of the bed.

"Let's go to the park if your ankle is all better." Ruu said and jumped on the bed when he heard her say, "My ankle is better dear. So it's settled we will be going out to the park then after that we can have a Disney movie marathon at home. How does that sound to you?"

"It's great ma. I am gonna get ready now." With that said Ruu ran off to his room but was stopped by Miyu saying, "We will go out only after you clean the mess in your room."

Ruu asked, "Do I really have to do that now? I can get it done after coming back also." Miyu shook her head and said, "If you want to go out and play then I suggests you start cleaning your room now." Ruu nodded half heartedly and went in his room to clean the mess.

Meanwhile Miyu also started cleaning the home and made breakfast. She called Ruu to have his breakfast first. Ruu came running and dragged Miyu towards his room and showed her his neat and tidy room. Miyu was amazed and said, "Looks like we will be going early." Ruu nodded and went to have his breakfast whereas Miyu went to get dressed.

After about half an hour Miyu emerged from her room wearing a sky blue Capri and a white boat neck top and with ballet flats as a final touch. She didn't wear any make up and had her hair in a half pony tail and her bangs framed her face. As soon as she got out, she saw Ruu trying to tie the knot of his shoes. Though Ruu was very smart for the kids of his age, he never got the knot on his shoes correct. Miyu bend down to tie his shoes and as Ruu looked at her his jaw dropped. He slowly reached to touch her cheek with his small hands and said, "You are so beautiful mama."

Miyu smiled and said, "Thank you honey. Come on now let's go." They both went out after locking the door securely with Miyu holding his hands. They first went to a mall for window shopping but ended up buying a few toys for Ruu. They then went to the park. Ruu went to play with other kids as Miyu sat on a nearby bench watching him play happily with other kids.

Kanata was on his way back to the temple but thought of going through the park as he was in no hurry and moreover no one was waiting for him there. He entered the park and saw kids playing together. His eyes scanned the area for a bench to rest on but landed on Miyu. He walked towards her and said, "So we meet again Mrs. Kozuki."

Miyu looked up when she heard her name and smiled while saying, "Correction its Ms. Miyu Kozuki." Kanata tilted his head and was about to ask another question when Ruu popped out of nowhere jumping on Miyu and pointing towards the ice cream truck. Kanata watched cautiously as Miyu raised an eye brow and Ruu giving puppy face. Miyu laughed and ruffled his hair and getting up to buy him ice cream and said, "Okay okay. I get it. Sit here and don't go anywhere. Mama will be back in a moment." She looked at Kanata and said, "Excuse me I will be back in a moment."

Kanata nodded his head and sat beside Ruu. Ruu looked up at him and saw Kanata was wearing black jeans with a white polo t-shirt and asked, "You are the guy who helped mama when she got into the accident. Am I right?" Kanata nodded his head at him not really knowing what to say to a kid. He noticed that Ruu was staring at Miyu and asked, "What are you doing?"

Ruu answered him without taking his eyes off his mama, "I am looking out for mama. She is pretty clumsy and as her protector I have to look out for her." Kanata chuckled and ruffled his hair before saying, "but that would be your dad's job." Before he could say something else Ruu cut him off saying, "My parents are in heaven. She is my god mother. I have been living with her for past two years and she is a motherly figure for me. That's why I call her mama." Kanata looked shocked and said, "Sorry about that." Ruu finally took his eyes off his mama and smiled before saying, "You don't have to be sorry. She is the best. She is my mother and I love her."

Miyu approached them with three cones in her hand and asked, "What have you guys been talking about?" Before Kanata could say something Ruu answered her saying, "It's a guy thing mama." Miyu nodded and handed one chocolate cone to Ruu and another to Kanata while keeping strawberry for herself. Kanata raised his eye brow in question and Miyu answered his silent question with, "I didn't know what your favorite flavor is so I got chocolate for you. Hope you will like it."

Kanata smiled and said, "You got me my favorite flavor Ms. Kozuki. Thanks."

Miyu sat on another side of Ruu and said, "Wow that's great and drop the formalities. You can call me Miyu."

"You can call me Kanata." said Kanata while eating his ice cream. Ruu was watching Miyu and Kanata slowly licking his ice cream until it fell on the ground. Everything got quiet as they were waiting for Ruu's reaction. After a few seconds Ruu stood from his place and started searching his pockets. Miyu got confused by his actions and asked, "What are you doing Ruu?"

"I am searching for my handkerchief mama. But looks like I forgot to bring one." said Ruu with a small frown. Kanata took out his handkerchief and gave it to Ruu. Ruu looked at his mom silently asking her permission. When he saw her nod, he took the handkerchief and started wiping the ice cream from his hands and shoes. After cleaning himself Ruu gave the handkerchief to Miyu and asked, "Will you clean this also for me mama?"

Miyu nodded and kept the handkerchief in the bag as Ruu again ran away to play with others. "So how is your ankle Miyu?" asked Kanata breaking the silence. "Well it's been better."

"Well that's good" said Kanata as silence again enveloped them. Ruu returned back a few minutes later with a sad face which got both Miyu and Kanata worried as they both asked at the same time, "What happened honey/Ruu?"

"My friends went home." replied Ruu in a small voice. Kanata then stood from his place and crouched down to his eye level and said, "Well then I will play with you." Miyu also smiled and said, "I will also play with you."

Ruu grinned at them and said, "Let's play tag and I will be it and you guys run." They played for a while then collapsed tiredly on the bench. They were out of breath and smiling as Miyu said, "That was fun."

Kanata agreed with her and they saw Ruu sleeping soundly. Miyu stroked his bangs away from his face. "Well it's getting late we should get going. It was nice to meet you Kanata." said Miyu as she stood to take Ruu in her arms and head off to home but was interrupted by Kanata saying, "Let me help you. I will carry him to your place. Your ankle just got better and stress is not good for it."

Miyu looked at him and asked sarcastically, "So you are a doctor now?" Kanata looked at her with a smug grin and said, "I am Dr. Kanata Saionji." Miyu's eyes widened as she asked, "You are kidding right?"

"Now why would I kid about something like that? Is it really that hard to believe?" Kanata said with a look of mock hurt. Miyu looked embarrassed and said, "I was just being sarcastic so I thought that you were just pulling my leg. But I believe you."

"What are we waiting for? Come on now let's go." said Kanata while carrying Ruu securely in his arms. Miyu noticed that and smiled warmly at him. When they reached home Ruu woke up and was surprised to find himself in Kanata's arms.

Kanata noticed Ruu waking up and being surprised but didn't say anything just smiled. Soon Ruu smiled and snuggled deeper in his neck and murmured, "Papa"

Kanata was shocked and looked at Ruu but Ruu acted as if he said nothing. They entered the home and as Kanata dropped Ruu at the couch and was going out, Ruu tugged at his shirt and asked, "Would you like to stay for Disney movie marathon?"

Kanata looked at Miyu who in return just shrugged her shoulders. He agreed and sat beside Ruu as he asked, "So which movies are we watching?" Ruu leapt out of the couch and was back in a minute with a bag of movie CD's and said, "We can select the movies till the time mama makes us some snack."

The movie marathon started as soon as Miyu got settled on the couch with Ruu in between Kanata and Miyu.
