Two Weeks

Chapter 10

Previously in Chapter 9

"Arimi? What are you doing here?"

Arimi gave him a look of despair, anger, hatred.

"You never told me about asking to spend two weeks with Miki. Why? How could you do such a thing?"

Arimi slapped him, and then ran down the hall.

Now

Ginta stood there, dumbfounded and flabbergasted. Not knowing what else to do, he debated whether to chase after Arimi and take the risk of her running away like Miki had done, or continue on to Miki's room and have to face Yuu questioning him about not telling Arimi about the whole situation. After several seconds, he came to the conclusion of going after Arimi.

Darting throughout random visitors, patients, doctors, nurses, and others he managed to catch a glimpse of his wife. Arimi dashed down the stairs down to the bottom floor, Ginta trying to keep up. Being seven months pregnant, it was quite a struggle for her to run down the stairs and still manage to move aside from various people among the stairs.

"Arimi!!" Ginta exclaimed as Arimi hit the shoulder of nurse elevating herself throughout the stairs.

The nurse didn't slip; neither did Arimi, but she almost lost her balance and gripped the railing for support.

"Gomen Nasai," Arimi exclaimed to the nurse before attempting to continue on with her running. But before she could, Ginta took hold of the opposite hand while still holding onto the railing.

"Anone! (A/N: Anone means wait, or listen, or some kind of exclamation to get one's attention) Arimi, please! I don't want to EVER take the risk of you or our child getting hurt. If you'll just stop and let me talk to you about this, then maybe we can get a better understanding of each other. I'm sorry if you don't understand right now, but please let me explain," Ginta tried to reassure her.

After a long pause, and after Arimi's hate-filled face turned to a somewhat more soothing expression, Ginta let go of her wrist and grabbed her hand. They walked hand in hand until they reached the bottom floor, then their hands departed.

"Let's go outside," Arimi suggested.

"Yeah," Ginta said.

After walking across the marble floor, they walked around the building into a small park for patients.

"Nice park," Ginta pointed out.

"Yeah, But that's not why we're here," Arimi said, slightly agitated.

"Arimi. I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry I hurt you. And you may not understand now why I did this, and you may never understand, even if I do explain everything to you, but I want you to understand that I love you and I always will," said Ginta.

"If you love me, then why would you go off and see other women behind my back? Why would you stay out and sneak around with women? And out of all the women in the world, you have to sneak around with Miki? WITH MIKI? Do you know how much you've hurt me? And then you try to say you love me? How COULD you? WHY would you? I don't want to hear your excuses. I've already heard them enough in my life. I want a divorce and I don't want you to ever come near my and my child again!" Arimi blurt out.

Many pedestrians and random people among them in the park stopped and stared to see what had gone on. After stopping momentarily to stare, they began what they were previously doing.

Arimi had tears steaming down her crystal-like eyes and had a tear stained dress by the time she was done with her show. Ginta was confused and convicted of doing things he'd never done or thought of doing.

(What am I supposed to do now? Try to comfort Arimi? If I do will she just accuse me of sleeping with other woman and force me to move out and get a divorce and never see the birth of OUR child? Should I just give up and walk away? Should I leave her and never return? Why is all of this so difficult for me? I JUST WANT TO RUN AWAY AND ALL MY PROBLEMS TO DISAPPEAR!!).

Ginta sighed and concluded that running away and never coming back would not solve anyone's problems and just cause a more chaotic situation. "Arimi please just hear me out. I would never EVER do anything like that to you. It's not a lie, excuse, fib, or anything else other than the TRUTH. You have to understand that. I love you with all my heart. Please forgive me. All I wanted was to spend two weeks alone with Miki. Not to sleep with her, but to get to know her better and understand what has happened in the last 3 years. And if we did that, you would be able to do the same with Yuu. I swear I wouldn't do anything that would make you feel uncomfortable or offend you or Miki or Yuu in anyway whatsoever,"

Although Arimi did not say anything, Ginta could tell that she was listening due to the fact that she had stop crying and that she had made eye contact with him.

Arimi stopped to think. (I suppose I believe him. It wasn't fair for me to act like that suddenly. I know that he would never do anything like that. He's the most respectful, honest, open, and caring person that I've ever met, and I know that he loves me. I'm still upset about the fact that he didn't tell me and that I had to find out like this but it's alright if you really look at the situation. And I can spend some time with Yuu and talk with him; just like the old days. Fine. I'll do it. I made my decision. I'm going to spend two weeks with Yuu while Ginta spends two weeks with Miki.)

"I know that you love me ai. I'm sorry that I acted the way I did and for the way I accused you of cheating on me behind my back with other women. I know you better than that I want you to know that I'm sorry in every way possible. I'll spend the two weeks with Yuu. It will give us a change to spend some time away with each other for a break to cool down and too get to know our old loves better," said Arimi.

"Thank you for being so understanding about the situation. It's not that I don't love you, and I know that you know that. I do love you and always will. And your right, this will be a good break for us," said Ginta, smiling.

The two embraced in a long hug for several moments before heading back up to Miki's hospital room. Ginta still had to face Yuu, Miki, the fact that Miki was unconscious and in critical condition, and a couple other problems, but he knew that there would be no point to turn around and run or walk away or just turn around because sooner or later he would have to face it. What would be the point of leaving everything behind instead of getting things straightened out now?

They continued to stroll hand and hand along the path, through the lobby, up the elevator, and through the lobby until stopping in front of Miki's room. Their hands departed as Ginta pushed the door open, only to find the next thing the pair saw astonishing. Arimi let out a gasp as Ginta managed to put on a rather disturbing and surprised expression.

Both stood there dumbfounded, unsure of how to respond to the situation.
