Akito
She looked beautiful as ever as she lay beside me with strands of her brown hair covering her face. I gently combed her hair away from her face, tucking them into her ear. It had been what felt like the first time we properly slept together in our master bed as she had been busy for the past three months or so. I was beginning to lose faith in our relationship if her career still constantly interfered with our intimacy. But my faith once again shattered when her touch was thieved away from me as she rushed into the en-suite bathroom, throwing up into the toilet bowl. Every time we made love, I would always fill up the condom with water to ensure that it didn't rip in the process and as always, we were safe from having a baby. We weren't ready to have a baby because Sana was very dedicated to her acting career and I was dedicated to teaching the kids karate and most of the time, I would be hired by celebrities to protect them from harm. It was a risky job, but it was worth the danger knowing that my karate was put into good use. And since she was away almost all of the time, I had my suspicions.
'Sana, you're not pregnant are you?' I asked her curiously, rubbing her back to make her feel a bit better.
She had this look of horror after her first batch of sickness and then said 'work has been stressing me out.' She threw up again involuntarily.
A part of me was thinking that she would never betray me but the other part of me was thinking that anyone is capable of anything nowadays, no matter how trustworthy the person was. Because of her high status in the celebrity world, I did get paranoid that she would leave me for someone in her own league, like that Naozumi guy who said that I wasn't good enough for her. From the look of her face, I didn't know what to think and went crazy.
'Who's the father?' I shouted with my eyes intense with anger. When she sat up from throwing up, I pushed her into a wall and I saw that she was crying her eyes out what with my suddenness. Because of my aggressive nature along with my career, I lost control and had all those evil thoughts bunged up in my head. She didn't say anything to defend herself so I clenched my fist, and was almost about to punch her face on when I steered my punch just to the side of her leaving a nasty dent on the wall and resulting in a stinging sensation in my knuckles.
As the ever-changing moon rose from its slumber, my heart grew and succumbed to the darkness. But that darkness within me was swept away when I saw Sana's face as I turned to her in the bed. Her eyes were clearly puffy from all that crying and I would imagine that she was not actually sleeping but she was paralysed head to toe and it looked quite catatonic in a frightening manner and all that was heard, was her sniffles from time to time. The fancy curtains danced in a mesmerisingly due to the wind encouraging it to move in such a hypnotic way. The fancy curtains eventually made my eyelids surrender into sleep.
The ever-changing moon went back to its slumber and the glorious sun rose on the horizon, welcoming us to morning, with its rays piercing through the fancy curtains and pestering my restless eyes. It was fruitless to ignore that glorious sun and when my eyes opened to a new day, I saw that Sana was gone, long gone by my judgment of the cold bacon and eggs with toast indicating the swift nature, that is time. She had left me not only that, but also a letter on her pillow.
