Anniversary
How could he forget what date it is? He was Mikagami Tokiya, a man who merely forgets anything down to the very miniscule detail of everything. How on earth, for the love of God, could he have forgotten their first anniversary?
He swiftly parked his car in front of a dainty bookstore right beside the gasoline station.
The reserved dinner, the dress, the chef. How could he have thought that tomorrow was their anniversary, when it's actually today?
He muttered a curse as he slammed the car door shut. He loosened the slim, black tie around his neck as he strut to the bookstore with a mission.
"Anniversary cards. Where are they?" He surprised the freckled teenage girl at the cashier, and he nearly lost his momentum of patience when she looked at one of the isles of the store.
"Over here, Mi-chan."
His face blanched.
Garnering effort to move his brick-heavy feet, he walked to where his wife was coolly scanning through anniversary cards.
She didn't spare him a glance as she flipped a card that played music as you opened it. He observed, with mild horror, the smug smile that formed on her lips as she handed him the card.
"I like this one. You should buy this for me. And, hmm," he watched her delicate finger inspect the various cards until it landed on a modest, simple, and yes, boring white card that simply said, 'Happy anniversary!'
She flippantly took it and left him rooted on his spot as she walked leisurely to the cashier.
"One very mundane anniversary card for my husband, please." She said with a sickly sweet tone. He watched her walk out of the door, and upon hearing the bell at the door ring her exit, he scrambled to the cashier girl and paid for the card.
With slight fear in his eyes, he glanced his way to his wife who was coolly leaning on his black BMW and the dangerous glint in her bright green eyes.
She was going to torture him, and he couldn't fathom how much that thought scared and enticed him shitless.
Author's notes: Dang, it's been a long while since I last updated! This is just to fill you guys in on what I've been up to (a.k.a, my lousy excuse of not updating). I've been attending college last June (Ateneo de Manila University) and that's basically what's keeping me up lately. Apologies to everyone who wanted a long, nice chapter! I would've wanted one myself. Till then, I hope I'll be seeing you guys until my next update! Ciao!
