Chapter Fourteen: Move on?
Mai pov
I am trapped; deeply trap, to a point which I can't breathe.
"Help me!" I screamed, as tears started to form in my eyes while I bang against the glass, that seem to separate me from the green open space that lies ahead of me.
"Please, anyone, help me, I don't want to be here. I don't want to be alone!" I now feel tears rolling down my cheeks, as I kept banging the glass.
"You won't get anyone to help you." I heard behind me. My eyes widen, recognizing the voice that haunts me at night.
"Please tell me, what do you want from me," I begged hearing him chuckle evilly.
"I told you, what I wanted, so close, so very close, not even he can save you now. Die alone, you have always been alone, remember that no one loves you." It said, and then he disappears leaving me alone once again.
"No, you're wrong; I have people that love me." I cried even more, banging against the glass.
"Naru! Please come. I beg of you. I want you. I want you to save me!" I kneeled at my knees, frozen, I felt frozen from the fear in me.
"Shatter this, and let me FREEEEEEEEEEEE!" I kept on banging hard against the glass, desperation consuming me. Tears running like no tomorrow. My heart racing against my chest. From my blurry vision, I caught something on the other side of the glass; a shadowy figure appears. Its shadowy fog is covering the person's presence.
"Please, help me, shatter this," I begged my hope. The person comes closer and places its hand on the glass, from what I can tell is a male hand. I move my sight and stood up, to press my hand where his hand is and spread my fingers, so we can match.
"Please," I begged. Finally the shadowy display disappears, and my eyes connect with two blue profound eyes, that I know.
"Naru!" I gasp, moving closer to the glass. Naru moves closer, fisting his hand, he starts to pound against the glass. Despair passes his eyes, as he kept on banging. I follow ahead and bang against the glass as well, but after a few good minutes, nothing happens.
Naru stops his banging and stares at me. I did the same, and no words pass our lips. He presses his other hand on the glass, and I press my hand, imagining that I can feel is warm hand.'
I kneeled on the ground, and Naru follows along. He moves his lips, but I couldn't hear him. I started once again banging against the glass.
"I want to be free; I want to be with you. I want to be with you Naru, save me!" I cried, feeling a strange emotion fill me; I couldn't name it, but it was deep. . Naru eyes narrow and a blank stare appear, he fists his hand once again, and with force this time, both of us at the same time hit the glass, as though a force came out of nowhere made a small crack. Naru stares at me, as I did the same.
"I won't give up," I whispered, as I once again hit the glass in union with Naru, the crack became bigger, and bigger until it made a snake-like pattern. One last hit, the whole glass ripped into many pieces, but it doesn't shatter. I stood, as Naru does the same. I took a step back and breathed out.
"My chance!" Naru takes a step back. I breath in and out, without hesitation, I start to run, running fast as I could, I cover my face with my arms, and burst through the glass…
Naru pov
I bolted up from my deep sleep, as a loud piercing scream echoed in the room. I immediately turn to see Mai sweating, as tears roll down her cheeks. (She slept on the edge of the bed, her head on top of her folded arms.) Despair plaster all over her sleeping face.
'Is she having that dream? The glass dream?'
"Mai, wake up, you're having a nightmare," I told her. She doesn't wake up, and I can tell, she's waking up Aimi. So I forget my own grogginess and move to her side, and picked her up in my arms. Immediately, rushed her out from the bedroom, towards the living room. Mai started to arch her body up, as sweat kept rolling down her face.
"Save me!" she screams, breathing unevenly, as all of the sudden, my own eyes started to hurt me. I hissed but ignored it. I place Mai down, and I kneeled down.
"Mai, wake up," she started to move her body, kicking and thrashing her arms.
"Naru!" she screams, more tears appear in her eyes. I had no idea what to do; she's in a deep sleep.
I was about to stand, but her sudden words stop me.
"Naru, please help me."
"Ahhhhh!" My heart stop, in the ear piercing scream she gives, that I sat on the edge of the couch and wrap my arms around her, to muffle her cry. She presses her face on my chest, and I feel her arms around me, causing me to pat her back.
"Wake up, okay," I whispered to her, consoling her as a child. Mai finally calms down with a hiccup that escapes her and held me closer.
"Naru, oh God, Naru." She flutters her red eyes open and moves to stare at me. I blinked.
"Is okay, everything will be all right," I whispered, our eyes connect, and all I can see is fear in her brown eyes, which made my heart tighten. She shakes terribly in my arms and holds me tighter, without hesitation, she moves to cup my cheeks with trembling hands.
"I was in a glass, I couldn't breathe, or move, he, he said that..." she locks eyes with me.
"You love me, right?" she suddenly asks, surprising me.
"With all my heart," I told her, as she moves closer to me, she buries her face in the crook of my neck, sobbing softly.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ask that, he said that no one loves me, and I refuse to believe that." She tells me. I held her closer to me, closing my eyes, running her hands down to my shoulders, and gave them a soft squeeze.
"Don't believe in him, you have many people that love you, including myself," I told her, my heart is breaking. She kept sobbing, and moves, moving her small hand, and cupping my cheeks once again.
"Naru, I'm scared, so scared, he won't leave me alone. Please, I beg of you." She curls her legs up, and buries herself into my chest, as I place my arms around her and started to rock her.
'Is okay, I won't leave you." I whispered as Mai held me tighter.
'If I get your memories back, then you will never hear my voice ever again, and I rather have that than lose you forever. Last night you gave me hope, a tiny hope that I have a small chance to get you back. Even if you see me as a friend, is good enough for me, is a small step, for now, and is better than anything.' I wanted to tell her that, as Mai lifts herself and wipes her cheeks. I smooth her hair, trying my best to console her. Mai with a flush face doesn't look at me, but grasp my hand and gave it a soothing squeeze.
Mai pov
I felt weak, and my eye bothers me so much, but I try not to think about it. I now sat on my round table, as Naru came back with a cup of hot tea, placing the cup in front of me.
"Thanks," I whispered, taking a sip of it after I blew on it. I lifted my gaze, and I took notice, that he looks pale, sweat rolling down his face.
'Did I wake him? Oh no, he wasn't feeling good.' Panicking, I stood up from my chair and went up to him. Naru lifts his gaze up and arched a brow. Without a word, I place my palm on his sweaty forehead.
"You are hot once again. Sorry, I'm sorry." I was on the verge of crying once again. Naru shakes his head, taking a hold of my hand.
I shivered at his touch, as I move my free hand, and brush his hair.
"Are you sure?" I asked him.
He nods his head once again; I leaned my forehead on top of his head and breathed out.
"I don't want you to get sick again, because of me, I'm sorry Naru," I closed my eyes, enjoying his warmth, and tea scent he gives off. I smiled, even if my cheeks are tinted red. Naru closed his eyes and enjoyed it.
I turned to face the clock. It was only two in the morning. I didn't want to sleep, what if I get the nightmare once again. I don't want that.
"Err, you need sleep and I'm terrified right now. Let's finish up the teas, and today, you don't have to work, so I have something planned, so you can spend time with Aimi later on." I told him. Naru arched a brow, but nods, turning to drink. I move and drank mine, as the silence took over.
..
Now back to my room, I move to check on Aimi. She sleeps peacefully, facing upwards, with the white blanket over her. Naru moves next to me and fixes her blanket. I was now nervous, and scared. I move around Naru and got into my bed. Not sure what to do, Naru should be sleeping in a bed, not a couch. I cleared my throat.
"You can sleep here," I move towards the wall, and place a pillow in between, feeling my cheeks flaring up.
Naru gave me the 'Are you sure.' Look. I nodded, as I hid my heated face.
"You can't be sleeping on the couch in your condition, you need more sleep, and... Honestly, I'm scared to death. Just don't pass the pillow line." I told him, turning, covering my red face, as my heart started to race.
'My first time sleeping next to a man. Oh God, Mama, I promise, nothing will happen.' I thought as yesterday display rushed into my mind.
'Oh no, bad Mai, don't think about it. Don't think of how good that felt, having him that close to me and how good it felt that he touch me. Oh no, I'm becoming a pervert.' I felt Naru lay next to me. Then my eyes flew open, when I felt him touch my arm. I turned.
"Hmm?" I asked; looking up at his shadowy face, for a reason, his blue eyes look misty. He takes my hand and places it on his lips.
"Relax, I won't bite or do anything. You look tired and pale; I give you my man of honor, that I won't do anything to you. Remember, you told me, you will wait until your marriage, and with the man you love. I respect that. After all, you said that I'm just a friend." For a reason, I could sense the sadness in his lips when he mentions that. I nodded, as I turned to face the wall, as I wrap my hand around my blanket.
'A friend that is helping me with my case, as well, a friend that is crawling to my heart each day and wishing, wishes that…' I frowned, as I lift my legs up.
'I should move on? Right? I should move on, and leave my past alone, cause right now. .' I turned my head a little, to stare at Naru, which he was facing Aimi crib. I stretched my hand out and outlined his broad back.
"I want to be his."
Naru pov
Mai slept peacefully next to me, how will I go to sleep? Knowing that my wife is right next to me. I leaned my head against the flat of my palm, watching her sleep. She is facing me, fist hands, and her lips are parted slightly. I dare to move my hand and stroke her silk hair. She moves her body, placing her leg on top of the pillow, and murmurs something under her sleep. Moving closer to her, I gather her small hand and run my fingers on her knuckles.
"This is the closest thing I can have," I told her, leaning my head down, staring at her. Mai flutters her eyes open, noticing a misty look cover her brown eyes.
"Naru!" her voice cracked. I smirked.
"Hmm?" she moves closer to me, moving her fingers, and we intertwine our fingers.
"The glass wouldn't shatter, next time," she moves closer, as I move my arm, in doing so, she lays her head on top of my shoulder. I glance down, at her sleeping form.
"I shatter it myself," I told her. Mai nods, as I place my chin on top of her head, and she throws the pillow to the floor, and I wrap my leg around her small waist.
"You always there for me. Thank you." She murmurs, closing her eyes once again. I wrap my arm around her and held her closer. Now her head on my chest.
"I don't know how to repay you nor will I let you go." I murmured to her, kissing the top of her head feeling her snuggling more into me.
"For tonight, can we just pretend as nothing happen, and you are my old Mai?" I whispered, as sleep started to take over, Mai moves her arm, finding my hand, and intertwine her fingers with mine and murmurs something, that I didn't comprehend.
"I want to move on."
…..
I held Aimi in place, watching Mai place a long pink pants on her. I move my eyes towards Mai, watching her adjust the pant leg.
'At least I awoke earlier than her, before she screamed in embarrassment, about how we slept last night. I don't want to push her.' I thought to myself, feeling happy about that, no rather than happy, I felt thrilled, that I finally got a chance to sleep with her like that, it's been far too long, and that I craved that. I hope in the future, I get more chances with her to do that.
"You look so cute Aimi." She smiles, adjusting the red string around Aimi's waist. Aimi moves her arms, looking up at me. I gave her a warm smile
"Mama is going to take you out for a stroll," I told her. Aimi's eyes widen, as she glances at her mother. Aimi moves and wraps her small chubby arms around Mai making her laugh in delight.
"Well, okay, this feels nice. I love your random hugs Aimi, makes me happy." She gives her a tight squeeze, making Aimi laugh, and turns to face me. I adjust her bottom black blouse, as I wrap my arms around her and hoist her up.
"Up you go, you look very pretty Aimi, just like your mother," I told her. Aimi's eyes brighten up, and I help Mai up. (By grasping her arm and hoist her up.)
"You look so pretty Aimi, you'll definitely swoon all the baby boys..." Mai plays while brushing her short hair with her fingers, making my eyes widen.
"Definitely not, I forbid you to play near no boy, you hear Aimi. I forbid you." I hissed, not wanting to think of the day, she will start dating. Okay, know I know why most fathers are over protective of their daughters just the thought of it, boils my blood. Mai blinks at me, then burst out laughing, causing me to arch a brow at her sudden laughter.
"I was only joking Naru. One, Aimi is too young and two, you gave a fatherly look, as too ready to kill any guy that goes around Aimi. Looks like you are her father." She nudges my shoulder playfully. A sudden pain passes by my heart in her words...
"I am, and you're the one that gave me this joy to my life," I told her, but it's fruitless. Now feeling sad, Aimi seems to feel it, and she presses her nose against my cheek.
"Ga, Ga, Ma," she said, as she arched her body towards Mai. Mai steps closer and arched a brow.
"Aimi?" She asks. Aimi started to get fuzzy, noticing the tears gathering in her eyes.
"Aimi? What's wrong?" This time Mai's voice is more persistence. I stare, as Aimi starts to cry.
"Aimi, please calm down," I whispered bouncing her a little, but she shakes her head, as she reaches out her small hands, grasping Mai yellow long sleeve blouse, and holds it tight.
"Ka, Da.," she started, but it was as though she was having trouble to speak. Mai raised a brow, as Aimi kept crying hard.
"Poor baby, please stop crying, see, you're making your cousin sad as I. Please, don't cry my little one." She whispers, grasping Aimi in her arms. Aimi starts to struggle in her arms.
"M...Ka…Da…" she turns towards me, and her small eyes landed on mine. I frowned, moving closer to her.
"What's wrong?" I asked her even though she can't understand me completely. Aimi takes a hold of my shirt. I turned to face Mai and her eyes locks with mine. No words are said; I could tell Mai is very concern about her, as I, but Aimi tears kept going.
"What do we do? Her cheeks are blazing red already." She now faces the baby. Aimi kept on crying, as I rub her small back.
"Aimi, calm down, please, please for papa," I asked her. Aimi shakes her head, and hiccups. She's so much like Mai when she cries. Aimi shakes her head once again and leans her head on her mother's bosom, Mai rose a brow.
"Calm down little one, I'm here to protect you, hushing; hush. Well, err, that was weird." Mai whispers, rubbing her back. I nodded, not getting this at all. Mai takes a hold of my hand and gave it a small squeeze...
"She finally calmed down; hopefully, the stroll around the park will make her happy. Thank you, thank you for being patience with Aimi and me. I know is a handful already." She smiles, noticing her brown eyes sparkle. I nodded and turned, to get my jacket. Mai does the same, placing Aimi coat around her. I move back, taking Mai jacket, (from the coat hanger) and place it around her. Mai blushes and looks down. I smirked, opening the door, and we both leave her apartment.
"This is the first time in months, that I spend a whole day with my wife and daughter. Feels unrealistic, but I shouldn't count my blessing yet, not just yet."
Mai pov
"Aren't you happy, you'll get to spend the whole day with your cousin? Please be, I want to spend the whole day with him as well." I told her, as I tied her black shoes while we waited for Lin to pick us up. Aimi is sitting down, on the small bench that is inside of the apartment first floor lobby, she glances up at me and nods. I smiled, turning to sneak a look at Naru, which he stood near the doors, looking out, with cross arms, but looks like he's in deep thought.
"Now, be a good girl and don't cry today. I don't like it when you cry, make me sad, you know, and make Naru sad and worry. I promise not to leave you. You are a good girl and the most precious person in my life. I love you Aimi, I love you, like you were my own baby sister or as you were my own daughter." I told her. Aimi with her red eyes laughs, stretching her arm out. I smiled and picked her up.
"See, you are all better, it makes mama happy. Oh, I love you Aimi" I told her squeezing her tightly in my arms. Aimi nods, placing her head on my shoulder. I move forward, only to take notice that Naru was on his cell phone, talking quite rapidly. I move to his side.
"Something wrong?" I asked, taking a hold of his arm. Naru points outside. I move to check it out, through the glass, and my eyes narrow.
"Oh come on, the weather channel said clear skies, not snow," I grunted as Naru hands me his cell phone. I took it, and I look down at it. It reads.
"Sorry, snow storm, everything is blocked, so we are stuck in until tomorrow." I read. I took another look from the window, to see the winds picking up, and the snow falling down hard.
I adjust Aimi to my other arm and turn to face Naru.
"Should have checked the windows this morning. At least I have enough food today, sorry Aimi, we can't go out today. I was hoping to go to the park." I told her, heading back in. Aimi didn't respond since she was messing with my coat zipper.
Finally reaching my apartment, we went in, and I took off Aimi jacket. Aimi giggles, as Naru takes off his jacket and shoes, to sit on the couch, looking at me. I shivered at his gaze but kept my eyes on Aimi.
'Is similar stare from yesterday, before the dance, is making me shiver again.' I thought, but shrug it off.
"I wonder why he's looking at me or is at you." I ask Aimi. Aimi turns her gaze at Naru and laughs. She gets on her knees, (After I placed her down, of course,) and starts to crawl towards Naru. Naru stretch out his arms, ready to receive her, as I took off my jacket. I smiled as my heart warms up at the warm display; it looks more like a father and daughter than cousins. Aimi stops in the middle of the floor and bounces her small body. I get on my knees, and crawl up to her, and smiled.
"What are you doing?" I asked her; Aimi stares at me and kept laughing hard, making me laugh with her. She then moves towards Naru and place her small hand on his feet. Naru arched a brow, as he moves gently and sits on the ground. .
Aimi stares at Naru, then at me. I flop on the ground and cover my eyes. I felt a hand on my own. I peeked through my fingers to see Aimi laughing, as she crawls on my back. I laugh, as she lays her head flat down.
"Oi, I'm not a horse," I told her; Aimi grasps my shirt and starts to bounce. Naru stares at the sight, as I blushed
"Help her up, I have an idea," I told him. Naru moves closer and picks up Aimi and I turn my body. I stretched out my arms.
"Place her on top," I told him. Naru nods and he does. Now sitting on my stomach, I sat up and rock her forward. Aimi burst out laughing, when I kiss her cheek, giving her raspberry and tickle her stomach, using my legs as support to not harm her.
"Now, I'm not a horse got that my small child." I laugh, as I kept on with the torture. Aimi kept on laughing harder and harder that her puffy cheeks turn red. In my living room, you can hear is a baby's laughter that filled my heart tremendously.
Naru smiles, as I turned to face him.
"Well, come join us, you should as well spend time," I told him. Handing Aimi over. Aimi giggles, noticing how bright her eyes gotten. Naru picks up Aimi and places her in his lap. At first he seems to hesitate, but I move to his side and take a hold of his hand.
"Just act naturally. Tickle her or kiss her cheek, she likes it, and since she's very attached to you, she won't mind, make funny faces, or something, I won't tell a soul, I give you my word." I assure him. Naru nods his head and does the same thing as I did; Aimi burst out laughing. I smiled gently to see the gentle display.
'I want to have a girl, if she is a girl, she will become like you, kind and gentle, and I can always protect her.' A sudden male voice echoed in my head. I frowned, as Naru kept playing with Aimi, and my heart starts to race. I place my hand on my chest, and watch; Naru place his cheek on Aimi's cheek, and close his eyes, a peaceful aura surrounds them, making me ache in a way, to run my fingers through his hair.
'He looks so peaceful and gentle when he's around Aimi,' I frowned at myself and look down at my fingers, and moved them.
'I want to remember my past, but I want to be with Naru. Is that possible? God, please help me, and guide me, because I have no idea what I am doing or feeling.'
Naru pov
I have Aimi on my lap, as she plays with a toy rattle; I have my arms around her as I stare at outside of the window, watching the snow fall. I felt peaceful.
"Na, ne," I heard Aimi. I look down to see her pointing at her toy. I smiled gently at her.
"Is a rattle, Aimi, can you say papa for me? Or mama?" I whispered, aching to hear her first words. Aimi gave me a 'What are you talking about,' look, causing me to sigh.
"Never mind." Shaking my head, Mai comes out of the kitchen with Aimi baby formula at hand. She bends in front of me and shakes the bottle in front of Aimi.
"It's time for lunch, I made delicious warm milk, and your food is about to be ready." She tells her, Aimi moves her body towards Mai. Mai laughs, grasping her and picks her up.
"Aren't you a happy camper, and come big boy, I made lunch for you too." She turns heads towards the round table. I gave the window one last look, and I stood.
"This is as normal as it gets," I whispered as I went to get my lunch.
While we ate, Mai seems to play with her food, as Aimi drank her formula. I stretched out my hand and touch her shoulder to get her attention. Mai lifts her gaze and looks startled, I just raised a brow.
"What's wrong?" I asked her. Mai sigh, as though she heard me she answers me.
"The dream, the glass? What did it mean? Is so weird," I remove my hand and stir my rice with my chopsticks.
"I have an idea of what it meant," I told her, but Mai just sighs once again and went back to her food.
"Never mind that, it was the strange demon messing with me with, so ignore what I said and let us continue to eat," she summons her best smiles, but I knew, I know her too well, she's concerned, and I don't blame her. After all, that's the demon of Isolation.
..
I stare at her while she wasn't' watching, as soon as I look away, she stares at me while I didn't watch. We both now watch a movie, a Disney movie for Aimi, which she seems to like. Tangle is called. Aimi claps when the horse came into the picture. His name Maximus, I think is his name, I zoned out half through the movie, Mai decided this movie was good for Aimi, and I knew very well that she loves this movie as well, so I couldn't say no... One of the downfalls living with two girls. The reminder that sometimes being married is not its best at times, I learned that after marrying Mai, but I try to learn and became accustomed to it. After all, Mai always supports me and respects my decisions, in most all of them, so I give her this.
"Ga," she claps, making me smile, as well Mai. (She sits in-between us.)
"Is so cute, I'm so into how he starting to look at her," Mai said in a dreamy voice. I arched a brow, taking notice how close she has gotten to me. I didn't mind. .
"How so?" I asked. Mai moves back, placing Aimi on her lap.
"The look, is cute, and very romantic, that means he's in love with her, that look is about a man in love. His eyes soften. I only read it in novels or seen it on Korean Dramas, or Jdramas, manga or anime." She admits. I turned to stare at her. She blushes, as her bangs cover her eyes...
"You think that the guy loves me? If so, would he look at me like that?" she suddenly asks me. I had no idea what she meant by that, what the hell does she mean look? I frowned, crossing my arms.
"I'm not sure," I answered her; Mai lifts her gaze, noticing the sadness overshadowing her eyes.
"If he does love me, then why hasn't he contacted me?" she adds.
"He has his reasons," I told her. Mai lifts her gaze and shakes her head.
"He has his reasons, right? I doubt he wants to be next to me, knowing that I have no memories nor can I see with my right eye. So is understandable, so I was thinking, I should move on, right?" I felt my heart stop for that brief second.
'Is that what she meant last night? She wants to move on from me?' Now that it makes more sense.
'No, is my only hope,' somewhere in me shouts, but as normally I just shrug at her. Aimi lifts her small head, taking notice of my sad face. She moves her body up and touches my hand.
"You should do what is best." Suddenly Mai places her hand on my lips. I move to stare at her.
"Tell me, what should I do? Should I move on? You're my best friend Naru, I'm not good in the matter of love, and should I move on?" she asks, noticing her eyes turning red, breaking my heart even more. I place my hand on her small fingers.
"Do what you think is best Mai. I am no one to lead you to it. If your heart tells you to let go, and then do it, if not, then don't. I'm not the one that owns your heart to tell you." I truthfully told her.
'Cause I was once. Damn, didn't know being in love, was this most painful.' I snap at myself. Mai moves closer, watching a tear fall down; she presses her cheek against mine.
"I don't know, I'm confused," she admits.
"Confused? Why confused?" I asked her. Mai bites her lower lip, but she shakes her head.
"Nothing, I don't want to think about it right now," she admits, as Aimi starts to fuzz in her lap.
"Ga, Ga," she mentions. I look down at her and rub her head.
"I'm okay," I whispered. Aimi shakes her head and looks up at her mother. Mai frowns, noticing more tears rolling down her cheeks with a gasp. My eyes widen.
"Mai?"
"It hurts though, I don't know why, but it hurts deeply, a part of me, doesn't want to let him go," she paused as she sniffs, trying to fight off her cries, but fails miserably, and starts to cry even harder. Aimi looks up at her mother and gasps out a muffled cry, but before we knew it she burst out crying making Mai panic.
"Oh Aimi, I'm sorry, I told you to not cry today, and I made you cry, I'm sorry." She raised her, so she can be standing on two of her legs. Aimi kept crying harder once again. I move closer to Mai and press my hand on her small back.
"Aimi, don't cry, mama was just saying things, don't be sad," I told her. Aimi turns her watery eyes at me and grasps my sleeve.
"Aimi?" Mai asks with a stuffy sound, tears kept coming down Mai's cheeks, but she is confused, as Aimi stares at her.
"Don't cry, see, Naru didn't make me sad or anything, we were just talking grown up things, please stop crying, it makes me sad." Mai cries started to become frantic now. My eyes widen, not knowing what to do since both of my girls are crying. I can deal with business, a big boss, and ghosts, but when it comes to these two, I at a loss.
"Don't cry Mai, is normal to be confused since you have no memories, and Aimi, mama is just sad about something, don't cry." I have no idea what I'm saying. Being a parent and a husband at times is just plain hard or confusing. Aimi flops down on her lap and takes a tight hold of Mai blouse.
"Ga, no, Ma." she cries out. I raised a brow, as Mai hiccups.
"Be my good girl and don't cry, please, I promise I'll stop crying, I'm sorry Aimi, I'm sorry that I made you cry." Mai seems to start panicking since Aimi won't calm down, I frowned, rubbing Aimi back, as she turns to face me, and then back at Mai.
"Naru, Aimi won't stop crying, or I. I'm sorry, didn't mean to cry, stop crying, please Aimi." Mai place her on her shoulder and rocks her trying to calm her, but nothing, I tried the rattle, but she snatches it away. I sigh, not knowing what to do at this point, I was about to stand from the couch to find something to calm her down, but in doing so, something big happened to cause me to freeze in my tracks. I look down at Mai. We both lock eyes, stunned.
"Huh?" Mai and I said at the same time. Mai lifts Aimi; Aimi stares at both of us, with a deep expression, then her eyes lands on me, the words that any parent would be thrilled to hear from their own child as their first words.
"M.. Mama!"
