私は愛する人: Chapter Seven

-oOo-

Ami was holding a cup of tea she stared at her husband from across the dining table at dinner.

"Dou shita Ami?" Kunimitsu noticing his wife staring.

"Nothing much." Ami replied with a smile before placing the teacup back on the table.

Kunimitsu glances over and examines his wife's face.

"Why do you always have that serious expression on your face?" Ami finally spoke up.

Kunimitsu's brows rose. His wife never complained about his facial expression before. He clears his throat before speaking, "What do you mean?"

"Your smile is so precious Mitsu." Ami rose from where she was seated and walked over and gave her husband peck on the forehead. "That's one of the things I love about you." Then walks away.

Kunimitsu follows his wife with his eyes, not fully understanding what had just happened.

Meanwhile on the other room, Ami leans on the wall smiling remembering what she had read on the journal, that she secretly hid in her bag, taking it to work while her husband was busy with tennis practice that day.

Dear Ami,

Do you remember back then, when we saw each other through a mirror? I couldn't wait for the clock to strike seven, because I knew I would see your smiling face in the mirror. The whole day, I didn't know where you were, or what you were doing, but I know that somewhere in the vast universe, you were living, and I had full trust that no matter where you were, or what you were doing, you would always come back home, and I would see you through the mirror.

I remember back then, how I wanted to be able to fetch you from school. Walk with you home like any normal boyfriend would. How I would even hook the stars in my hand just for you. And now, I wake up every day beside you, and I go to bed with your face being that last that I see.

I want to grow old with you. I'll court you every single day. Sing you love songs if you ask me to.

Ami, the smile on my face, no matter how rare it is, belongs only to you.

I will love you until eternity,

Kunimitsu
