"I am the master of my fate the captain of my soul."
Nathan's POV
I heaved a heavy sigh and loosened a bit my grey tie, it has been my fourth meeting for today and it's already past 3PM in the afternoon. I massage the nose bridge and made my chair turn facing my office's floor to ceiling glass window and momentarily watched Tokyo's afternoon traffic view. This has always been my routine since I was trained to handle our family's business. As the heir of the Gi family, and being the son of my father, a lot of pressure and eyes has been watching my every move and decision I make not that they show it boldly as they are also afraid of me. Most of them say that I radiate my father's aura, charismatic yet fearful, oblivious yet meticulous, unconcerned about other people, sarcastic, dark, unattached, some say I am also cruel, that I don't give second chances to those who commit mistakes. Yes, mistakes.. All my life as Nathan Gi, I am not allowed to commit any single mistake and show no emotion nor attachment in all things but it all changed three years ago, when I discovered who I was. When I awakened my real purpose of being reincarnated again.
Miaka.
She has been in my dreams for the past three years for reasons I do not know. I thought she was just a fervid imagination, but I was wrong. For three years I've been telling my self that those memories are not real. I thought I was having a mental disorder. I thought of having a split personalities. But, I WAS WRONG.
That annoying brunette from my past. My former enemy. She was fifteen when I first met her, she was naïve, careless, childish, thoughtless glutton monster.
Whenever I thought of who she was it makes me smile and sad at the same time, as I was also reminded of my past self. And how I still blame the gods for I still have the same character in what I had in that stupid book. How the people still fear me like I was the evilest person alive. But, Miaka, I am fascinated she was never scared of me, even before, and maybe that has been one of the many things that make me drawn to her.
When I first saw her on that faithful night, I thought I was about to lose it. I felt something I have never felt of feeling. But I held it in too well, I guess I am a professional in hiding my emotions too well. No wonder she calls me a stoic bloke.
Seeing her for the first time after being reincarnated and after three years when my memories returned brought too many emotions. For the first time, my heart won't stop pounding. I thought I was just scared of being blamed of my crimes in the past. But she just looked past through me like what she always does to everybody else.
I remembered she asked me if I'll do anything bad to her that time but I can feel that question is nothing but empty, like out of habit because she knew it was me.
How come I did not see her once before since we've been in the same places too many times?
Was it the will of the gods?
Damn that phoenix and dragon gods! I will never let them interfere again in this lifetime.
"Mr. Gi?" my reverie broke as my assistant calls from the intercom of my office. "Would you like to have something to eat? Your next meeting with the Strategy department will start in 30 minutes."
"What will be the agenda of my next meeting? And how many are left?"
"You still have 2 more after your next meeting. Shanghai and Australia branch wanted to have a separate audience with you via video calling." My assistant responded as I feel a throbbing pain growing in my temples.
"Cancel all of my schedules for today and have them rescheduled tomorrow." I said in a monotonous voice. My assistant was about to protest. "I'm leaving early." I closed the intercom.
I hurriedly closed my laptop and grabbed my phone and car key and headed to the elevator and didn't mind the employees bowing. I pressed the parking space button in the lift and when I arrived, I immediately pressed the unlock button of my car key and ride immediately.
I pushed the ignition and sped off. "I need to see her.' I told myself.
It's Friday she must be still in the culinary school. I drove past the cars in the traffic and succeeded in not getting caught for almost over speeding. I arrived in front of the school in no less than twenty-five minutes. She'll be out any minute since her last class will end at 4:15PM. I went out and lean on my car door as I wait.
Few minutes have passed and a lot of students in white chef uniforms are already going out of the building and for no reason as it starts to annoy me, they're one by one gathering in front of me and squealing silently like a bunch of high schoolers.
"Isn't he so handsome?!" said one of them.
"I wish I'm the one he's waiting for!" I rolled my eyes in annoyance.
Then my eyes once again dart at the gates and I flashed a smirk. Our eyes meet. Slowly she walked towards me and crowd in front of me paved way. I walked towards her not breaking eye contact. When she's arms reached, I quickly grabbed her and pull her to an embrace.
I inhaled her fresh strawberries scent. She looked at me puzzled and annoyance all over her face "Nakago, daijobu? Everyone is staring!"
"Seeing you this annoyed? I feel better now." I chuckled. "Let's go, I'll buy you your favorite ice cream."
I held her hand and opened the passenger's seat before going in and off we went to her favorite ice cream parlor.
Never in my existence in this lifetime as Nathan Gi or as a Seiryuu Seishi Nakago have I felt at peace.
