Chapter 2
"Mai…"
Huh…? Where am I?
"Mai…" Who is calling for me? There is such a bright light… Someone is there… the person is walking towards me… I can see their outline now…
"Mai… I've been looking for you… for so long…" the person is reaching out and I am too… The light is blocked out for a moment and I can see his face.
Naru. My hand drops instantly.
"NARU!" My eyes instantly snap open and I am wide-awake. Kenji is sleeping next to me and I've woken him.
"Mum…?" My heart is still jumping up and down erratically but I try my best to stop it from beating so hard.
"Nothing Kenji… Nothing… I just had a nightmare too… Go back to sleep I'll wake you up later." I smooth his hair away from his forehead and kiss him before getting out of bed and covering him with the blanket again. It's only six AM and the skies are still dark. The colour of Kenji's eyes. The colour of his eyes. Those beautiful, perceptive eyes… I can still remember the dream. I feel as though it's been branded into my mind's eye. When I close my eyes I can see his face again. That face I have not seen for seven years. That beautiful face that belonged to my only love.
I go into the kitchen and make myself something to eat; it's more of something to keep me occupied but it has become a habit.
I haven't have had a dream like that in seven years. Not once when I was with Kenji did I have a dream like that. My hands are shaking and I put down the bottle of sugar before I drop it. Why now? I rest my hands on the kitchen sink to get some balance back. I'm happy.
Are you?I'm happy to be with Kenji. I'm happy that he's happy. As long as my baby is happy I will be too. But that dream is really disturbing me. I go about preparing Kenji's breakfast and lunch, by the time I finish it's seven.
