The Way it Should Be

Chapter 2

After eating, Mitsui and Rei sat on the couch at the living room and patiently waited for the little boy's mother. Mitsui gazed at the boy beside him. As Reis swung his small legs back and forth, Mitsui noticed something. He usually does that when he was a little boy also. Rei was so small that he couldn't even reach the floor and all he could do was to swing his legs.

"Are you living alone?" Rei suddenly asked as the boy's dark eyes gazed around.

"Yes." He replied.

Then Rei's gazed landed on him. "Are you not lonely being along?"

Mitsui scratched the back of his head. "Sometimes but I'm used to it."

"Actually it feels sad being alone." Rei's face saddened. "I have no father and siblings so it feels sad but…"

Mitsui listened to the boy. He was really surprised on how Rei talk.

"…but then I have my beautiful and loving mother and I don't feel lonely because she was always with me." Rei smiled innocently.

The tall man was amazed by Rei. He could see on Rei's eyes his love for his mother.

"I really love her." Rei added.

Mitsui smiled. "Your mother also loves you too."

The boy nodded and shifted his eyes to the T.V. screen.

Mitsui stared at Rei. 'Her mother is very lucky to have a child like him.' He thought and joined Rei on watching T.V.

"Um…Mitsui-san." Rei suddenly spoke.

Mitsui looked at him. "What is it?"

"I…I need to go to the bathroom."

Mitsui chuckled and stood up. "Come on."

Rei followed him to the bathroom. Mitsui waited outside as Rei did his thing. After a few minutes, Rei came out.

"I'm done." Rei said.

Mitsui smiled at the sight of the child and couldn't help it.

"Can we play, Mitsui-san?" Rei asked.

"Huh? Well ok." Mitsui agreed.

Rei ran around the kitchen and Mitsui tried to catch him. Rei slid under the table and Mitsui followed. Their laugh covered the house. Then suddenly Mitsui accidentally hit his head on the table when he was going out. A pack of flour was pouring on him that covered his face.

"Mitsui-san, are you alright?" Rei asked.

Mitsui held the spot where he got hit. "Yeah I'm alright." He then smiled.

Suddenly the doorbell rang. Mitsui stood up.

"Maybe that's your mother." He said.

He immediately ran to the door and forgot to wipe his face. Rei followed him. Mitsui opened the door and his eyes widen in surprise when he saw a beautiful young lady in front. She has a long dark brown hair and a pair of brown eyes.

Mitsui blinked twice.

The lady smiled. "I'm here for my child." She said.

"Child…ah Rei." Mitsui stuttered.

"Mama!" Rei called out and ran to his mother.

"Rei." The lady kneeled down to hug her child.

Mitsui was surprised. He never thought that Rei's mother looked younger than he expected.

"I've been looking for you and I'm glad you're safe." The lady said.

"If it's not for Mitsui-san I think I'm still lost." Rei said.

The lady looked at Mitsui and stood up. "I'm really thankful that you've taken care of my child, Mitsui-san." The lady said and took a bow.

"Oh…that's ok." Mitsui smiled.

The lady gazed up to him. "My name's Rui, Rui Fujisawa."

Mitsui felt like fainting when he heard her say her name. His past suddenly came back into his memory, a dark past the haunts him until now.

"Mitsui-san" Rei suddenly called.

Mitsui was brought back into his senses when Rei called him. "What…is it?"

"I want to see you again. Can I come to your house sometimes?" the boy asked.

Mitsui smiled slightly. "Sure."

"Mama, can Mitsui-san come also to our house?" Rei asked and shifted his gaze to his mother.

"Of course there's no problem." Rui said happily.

Rui handed a card to Mitsui. "That's my flower shop and you can visit Rei there."

Mitsui took the card from her and stared at it for a moment.

As soon as Rei and his mother left, Mitsui came back into his house. He walked to the bathroom to get a towel to wipe his face.

"She didn't notice who I am." Mitsui muttered.

He went into the living room and threw his self to the couch.

"She has a child." Mitsui leaned back and stared at the ceiling.

"Rui…"
