Hey this is the last chappie guys.
Guest: No honeymoon. I'm so sorry. I wanted to have that but I could not think of how to do it. Thanks for reviewing.
Pretty-awesome-girl11d7: she died sorry. Hahaha. Thanks for reviewing.
Now on with the story.
DAYS OF A DYING GIRL 26 : CRAVING
I woke up with the smell medicine stuck in my nose. I slowly opened my eyes to let it adjust to the light. When my eyes were fully open, everything I saw was white. I looked around the room only to find no one with me. I wanted to get up but my body felt heavy. An oxygen mask was on my face.
"Don't worry about it."
"Brother, are you sure of that?"
I listened to the voices of the people outside. From what I could infer, it was Hotaru and her brother, Subaru.
"Yes, I am."
"That's good news. Shouldn't we tell them?"
"No, not yet. I want to tell them on her supposed to be last day."
"Why?"
"I have one other good news for them too."
"What is it?"
"Mikan is-…"
"Hotaru, Natsume is bringing dinner over. What would you want?" Ruka interrupted what Subaru was gonna say.
"You have such good timing, bunny boy."
"Did I interrupt something?"
"Something very important for me about Mikan."
"Really? What is it?"
"I have to go Hotaru, I am being called for. I'll text you the news." From the footsteps I could hear, it seemed like Subaru left.
"So Ruka, tell that Natsume that he should order me twenty full plates of crabs."
"Isn't that too much?"
"Well, he made you interrupt something important so he better pay up."
"We better check on Mikan now."
I heard the door knob twist and Hotaru came in with Ruka.
"Mikan? How long were you awake?"
"Just now."
Hotaru looked at me suspiciously. "Okay."
She seated on the couch and picked her phone.
"Mikan, would you like something to eat?"
"Fluff puffs."
"I'll ask Natsume if he agrees."
"No. Buy them yourselves."
"I'll try."
"Why are you so grouchy?" Hotaru asked.
"What?" I said darkly.
"Nevermind. Ruka, force Hyuuga to do her bidding."
"Okay. I'll call him outside."
Ruka went out to call Natsume and from what I hear in Ruka's muffled voices, Natsume argued with him. I stopped listening halfway through and laid down.
"What's wrong?"
"I wanna sleep. Tell Natsume to wake me up later. And softly." I said sternly and slept.
(Time skip)
"-kan. Mikan, wake up."
"What?"
"It's time for dinner. You have to eat your dinner before I give you your fluff puffs."
"Natsume?"
"Yup, it's me."
"I don't want to eat dinner."
"You have to. It's not meat anyway, I especially bought celery for you. I know you don't like to eat meat especially in the hospital."
"But-!"
"No more arguing. Eat!"
His voice sounded so stern that I had to obey. Darn it. What's wrong with me? First, I crave for fluff puffs so much. Second, I am so grouchy like I am having PMS. Wait.
"Natsume what date is today?"
"Why?"
"Just answer the damn question."
"Oh, relax. The twenty-sixth why?"
"Shoot."
"Mikan?"
Shit. I'm supposed to be bleeding already since yesterday. Damn. This has never happened before.
(A/N: I'll leave what this means for you to find out. If there are people who do not understand what bleeding and PMS are yet, ask your older sisters or some other older girls.)
Damn. Could it be? But it's such a pity, I have days more left.
DAYS OF A DYING GIRL 27 : SUFFERING
"This is your fiftieth box, Mikan. No more."
"Natsume~ Come on. Don't be a killjoy."
"Why do you like them so much anyway?"
"Because they're sweet."
"Disgusting, is the right word for them. Cottony and it sticks to your mouth. Did you even drink water?"
"What did you say about them?"
"Disgusting, Cottony and Sticky?"
"Take it back."
"What?"
"I said take it back."
"You crying now?"
"…"
"Mikan, they're just junk food."
"…"
"You have to eat something healthier to keep your strength up."
"Why do I have to eat healthily when I am just going to die two days from now?!"
"What did you say?"
"I'm dying Natsume. This is the only pleasure I ask for. You may say that I act like a pregnant woman because of these cravings but what if I am. Didn't it ever occur to you that I am currently suffering because I know that even if I am pregnant, I can't even live until this baby would be born?!"
"What?"
"I might be pregnant Natsume. But I have two days left. A baby develops for nine months and I can't even live for until that time."
"What makes you say that you are pregnant?"
"You doubt me, Natsume? I am a lady and I haven't bled for three days. If you even know what that means. I think you do, Aoi experiences this after all.
"What? Bled? For three days?"
"Yes. And what makes me sad is that if this hunch is true, I can't jump up and down like other mothers-to-be do. I can't rejoice because I am dying, along with this innocent unborn hunch."
"Mikan-"
"Don't try to comfort me now, Natsume. The only thing that can make me happy now, is a miracle - a miracle that I can somehow live for a year or maybe just nine months until this hunch is born."
"…"
"This talk is over. I want to rest. Don't even wake me up for dinner."
And just like that I slept until morning.
I hope that this hunch is true and as well I do not. Is it okay to wish for a miracle to happen?
DAYS OF A DYING DIRL 28 : FIXED
"Mikan? What happened to you and Natsume? He did not come home yesterday as what Tsubasa and Misaki said."
"We had a fight. What should I do Hotaru?" I whined.
"Apologize."
"What?"
"Who started the fight?"
"Me."
"See? That's why, apologize."
"But-"
"If I know Hyuuga, he is sulking somewhere now."
"How?"
"You really are an idiot. I'll call him and you should tell him that you have something to say to him."
Hotaru dialled on her phone and listened to it for a few minutes.
"Hyuu-"
"…(beep)"
Hotaru frowned and kept her phone.
"Did he just drop on me?"
"What?"
"He dropped it. Give me your phone."
"Why?"
"I'll call him with it, dummy. This time I'm putting it on speaker."
Hotaru dialled Natsume's number.
Ring…Ring…Ring…
"Mikan? Mikan? You finally called me. I was afraid that you might drop it if I called you. I'm really sorry. I'll buy you as much fluff puffs that you want right now."
"Hyuuga."
"Imai? Where is Mikan?"
"Right here listening."
"Let me talk to her."
"No can do."
"Please Imai. I need to apologize to her."
"How much?"
"What?"
"How much will you pay for it?"
"Fifty crabs in a plate just the way you like them."
"I want fifty plates full of crabs."
"Whatever. I just need to talk to her." I could hear his desperateness in his voice.
"Then talk."
"What? I'm not talking to you. I need to talk with Mikan. Not you."
"That's why talk, you douche."
"Where is Mikan?"
"Right here, Natsume." I said in a stern voice.
"Mikan? Mikan I am so sorr-"
"Don't apologize over the phone, if you want to then come personally." I turned to Hotaru. "Drop it."
She pressed a button and the call ended.
"I thought you were going to apologize."
"I'll apologize personally."
"Well, if I know Hyuuga, he would arrive at about five minutes. He's just with Ruka and Ruka had texted me awhile ago that they were on the way here already."
"What? You could have just told me to wait."
"Well, I actually sent Ruka to talk some sense into Natsume because I know that that idiot would be sulking in some dark alley right now."
"Well-"
Before I could continue, the door opened with a bang as a panting Natsume appeared.
"That was earlier than scheduled." Hotaru glanced at her watch. "Wow, you cut it off by two minutes and forty seconds. Well done, Hyuuga."
"What are talking about? Whatever. Mikan-" He walked to the bed where I was at.
"Natsume, please, don't apologize."
"What?"
"You have nothing to apologize for."
"But last night I-!"
"I'm the one who needs to apologize. I was too grouchy and I went too far. I was the one at fault, not you."
"But I am still at fault. I should have stayed quiet instead."
"I hate to interrupt but if you hadn't said anything, Mikan would be stuffin' her face full of those junk by now." Hotaru intervened.
"Yeah. Anyway why are intervening? This is a couple's quarrel so keep off, Imai."
"Well, if Ruka was here, we could start our own argument and fight of it too. Where is he anyway?"
"Stuck in traffic."
"Well, I guess I have to go then. Bye Mikan. Make sure you two are fine by tomorrow. I expect good news will be told to you."
"Good news? What kind?"
"The kind I'd like to keep as a secret. Bye."
Before we could ask anymore, she left. That left Natsume and I in a confused state with the argument long forgotten.
Natsume walked to me and embraced me tightly.
"Mikan I love you so much."
"I do love you as well, Natsume."
"I'm so sorry."
"I'm sorry too."
"I'll never love a girl other than you like this."
"..."
"Mikan?"
"But what if it is your child?"
"I'll love her double and yours will be triple."
"Really?"
"Really."
"Thank you, Natsume."
I could never really ask for a better and perfect husband than you. You are already as perfect as you can be. I will love you for all eternity even when I go to the other side.
DAYS OF A DYING GIRL 29 : NEWS
I woke up with Natsume holding my hand while sleeping beside my bed. I have been in this bed for three days. Natsume was with me all the way through except when he has to go to school or to buy food or to maybe attend to his parents pleads about the business.
I reached over to brush a hair from his face, he stirred but he did not wake up. He must have really stayed up taking care of me.
"One more day, Natsume." I whispered with a sad face.
Natsume opened an eye slowly, as he saw that I was awake he opened both eyes.
"You're awake."
"How long were you awake?"
"Just now. What do you want, my queen?"
"I don't know why, but I am craving for fluff puffs all of a sudden."
"Again? Fine, I'll buy it for you." He said with a playful smirk.
Natsume went out and I was left alone in the room. I started to read a book when the nurse went inside for her daily rounds while I was reading.
Suddenly, I did not want to read the book anymore. The protagonist was in a condition just like mine but she ignored all the care the people around her gave to her, just like how I first was. For me, I realized it and I accepted their care but the girl here in this story hid her pain and endured it.
I was almost done with it but I knew how it would end if she continued being like that. She would die of her ailment without knowing that a lot of people actually cared for her.
"Mrs. Hyuuga?"
"Eh? What? Sorry."
"Are you uncomfortable being called, 'Mrs. Hyuuga'?"
"No but, thinking that I do not have more years to enjoy that name, just makes me sad."
The nurse gave me a sympathetic smile, she uttered no words more but she just finished her job and left.
I picked the remote from the bedside and turned on the television. The first I saw was the news of the successful merge of the Yukihara and Hyuuga corporations. The name was changed to 'Akane' though I don't know why.
I fell asleep while watching and when I woke up, Natsume was there. This time he was in front of the laptop screen typing away.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Mom wanted a report for the -"
"Where's my fluff puffs?"
Natsume chuckled. He stood from his seat and went over the table. He took a box and opened it whilst handing it to me.
"You know, you are craving quite lot, my wife." Natsume said seeing me gobble up the whole box.
"I don't know the reason myself. What's for dinner?"
"You're eating more than normal."
"Really? I feel like I need more."
"You-"
Before he could continue, a knock was heard on the door.
"Come in." I said.
Subaru-nii entered the room with a small smile painted in his features.
"Hello, you two. I can see that you two are so lively. And you will be livelier of the news I have for you."
"Is it good?"
"You can say it is. Well actually, both are."
"Both?"
"Yes there are two."
"What is it?"
"Well…"
What could the news be that it can make me happy on my last day.
NATSUME'S POV
(FIVE YEARS LATER)
I stared down the stone grave in front of me, on it was written the name of my beloved.
In this grave is kept the body of a wife, a daughter, a sister and a mother.
MIKAN YUKIHARA HYUUGA
May she rest in peace.
BORN JAN X, XXXX
DIED MAR X, XXXX
I stared at the inscriptions for long time and thought of her, I thought of my beautiful wife, Mikan.
"Ne~!" My thoughts were interrupted by a high-pitched voice behind me.
"What do you want?" I asked with pure gentleness in my voice.
"Why are you staring at that stone?" I could hear the pout in her voice.
This time I turned to see my companion. This little girl was her exact replica except for her eyes, which glowed like they were in an argument whether they should take upon the color of crimson or hazel.
"Ne~ papa? Your daydreaming again."
"Eh? I'm sorry. What was it again?"
"Who is under there? We always come up here every year on the same day."
"Why don't you read the name?"
"I don't want to. It might be papa's girl. I will only look at it if it's mama's."
"You really are like her." I sighed.
"Who am I like?"
I brushed off her question and asked her one instead.
"Remember when I told you that if I lost you I would die because you are my life?"
"Yup."
"Well, if you are my life, she is my heart."
"But if your heart is there? How can you still love me lots?"
"That's because she left you with me before she went there."
"Who is under there?"
"I think you know who. You are a smart girl after all. You got her understanding personality and my logic."
The little girl in front of me closed her eyes and thought. I smiled at her actions for they remind me of her. I smiled when she opened her eyes and clapped her hands together.
"I know! It's mama, right?"
"I knew you'd get it."
"Ne~ Ne~ Is it really mama there?"
"Yup."
"Why is she under there? Where is she really, papa?"
"Somewhere happy and peaceful, where she's not in pain anymore."
"Can I tell her something?"
"Sure. Come here."
She stepped in front of me and read the name.
"Mikan? Is that mama's name?"
"Yes."
"Hello mama. It's me, your daughter. Kaoru-obachan and Yuka-obachan gave me the name Akane, they said that it was because you loved red because of papa."
What my daughter said made me chuckle.
"What is it papa?"
"Nothing. Do continue."
"Mou~ Anyway, mama. Papa has showered me with love and he said that you would have loved me more than he would have if you were alive. But now, he is giving me twice the amount of love he should because he is also giving his love for you to me. Ne mama? I don't really know how you look like but seeing papa not sparing a single glance to other beautiful ladies, I can say that you are very beautiful for him. Mama, since you are not here, I will love papa for you. I will be his best friend and I will be a good girl for the both of you."
A tear strayed on my cheeks and this was noticed by my little girl. She too was teary-eyed but she looked back at the grave.
"I'll introduce myself to you again mama. My name is Akane Hyuuga and I am four years old. They say I look like you and my personality is an alternate of you and papa. That is all." She said then gave a bow.
"Very good, Akane. Say goodbye to mama now and let's go. Aunt Hotaru and Uncle Ruka will be waiting for us."
"Mmm!" She said happily. "Mama! We have to go! I'll visit you again. Also, mama, today is my birthday, I just turned four." She gave a smile and stood back, as if saying that it's my turn. I took the chance and knelt down in front of her grave.
"Hey, my queen, how have you been? There are lot happening here. Hotaru married Ruka and she is currently pregnant. Sumire married Koko, Anna and Yuu also Nonoko and Kitsu. I am the COO of the already merged company here in Japan while Tsubasa is the CEO, Misaki is having her second baby. Our moms are helping me take care of Akane and our dads are helping me with the business."
I let out a breath.
"When Akane starts school, I'll send her to Gakuen Alice just as you wished, your uncle, Kazumi is planning to hand Youichi the school. I almost forgot, Aoi and Youichi are gonna be wed in three months. A lot has happened and I wish you were here to share these happy memories with us."
A tear slid down my cheeks and I felt Akane beside me as she wrapped her tiny arms around me.
"I love you so much, my queen. I'll never love another woman as I have loved you and I will be single forever if I have to. I will take care of Akane in my own power with the guidance of our family. Though I cannot give her the love that a mother could give, I will give her more than how much a father can love a daughter. For she is your gift to me before you left."
I lifted Akane and carried her in my arms as I finished my speech to Mikan.
"I'll see you again, my queen. We'll visit as much as we can. See you then."
"See ya, mama." Akane said as she gave a tearful smile.
I walked to the car and placed Akane at the backseat.
"Papa? Are we going to Auntie Hotaru's house now?" She asked as she seated herself comfortably.
"Yeah." I fastened her and proceeded to sit on my place in the driver's seat.
"Hey, Akane? Can papa ask a favour?"
"Yeah."
"Can you sleep during the drive so papa could think?"
"I'm tired."
I chuckled at her reply.
"Papa should smile more. Akane is here for you so don't be sad, papa."
"Yeah."
With that she kept silent and drifted to dreamland. As I drove, my mind was replaying the day when Hotaru's brother announced to us the good news.
FLASHBACK
"Hello, you two. I can see that you two are so lively. And you will be livelier of the news I have for you."
"Is it good?"
"You can say it is. Well actually, both are."
"Both?"
"Yes there are two."
"What is it?" I asked.
"Well, Mikan is expecting."
"What? But-!" Mikan protested and Subaru raised his hand to silence her.
"I'm not yet done."
"Sorry."
"The second news is, due to Mikan's change in environment, her heart was relieved of some of its burden which caused such a great miracle."
"Miracle?" I asked.
"Yes, her time here got extended to at most a year."
"A-a year?" Mikan stuttered, tears strolling down her cheeks.
"Yeah. And if you are lucky again, the baby may be born. But you have to listen to me this time." Subaru said in a jokingly stern voice.
"I will. I'll definitely listen for the sake of this baby."
I sat there frozen.
I'm going to be a father. A father. My mind was in shambles and my heart pounding but I knew that it was of happiness.
"Natsume?" Mikan called out.
"Sorry. It's just that…I was so happy. I'm gonna be a father and you get to stay with me for a year more."
"There's just one thing Mikan should do to ensure the safety of the baby." Subaru intervened.
"What is it?" I asked.
"She has to stay at home if she is discharged from the hospital."
"Why?" she asked.
"Because since you will be pregnant, your body will be twice as weak as in your normal state. If we don't take those risks, the delivery may not be guaranteed safe."
"I understand. I will do it. For our baby." Mikan said this and Subaru left the room
END
That night, I slept with a smile and I could not contain my happiness for the next days.
For the eight months of her pregnancy, Mikan's body weakened. She obeyed every order Subaru had and on the ninth month, she was admitted to the hospital for her body weakened so much and any fatigue may cost her and the baby's life. During her delivery, we were all in a panic.
FLASHBACK
I paced the hospital corridor.
"Natsume, stop it, you are making me dizzy." Hotaru complained but I pretended I did not hear.
"Let me do this." Ruka stood and went to me. I am not even close to this guy, how can he say that he can help me.
"Natsume, come with me." he dragged me towards the lounge where we could talk.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Relax. You are making us more nervous. Aunt Yuka and Aunt Kaoru are nervous themselves and what you are doing is making it hard for them to relax, even Hotaru is starting to lose cool."
"How can you be so relaxed?"
"Because we know that Mikan will be able to handle this. She handled her sickness for years, a little pain like this won't scare her. She and the baby will be fine. Let's just trust her, okay?"
"Okay, thanks bro."
We returned to the ER and the doctor was coming out with Subaru.
You ask why I was not inside? Well, I was from a meeting and they said that the baby was almost out and Mikan was weakening again. I was late in coming here and I froze for minutes as I heard Mikan's screams. When I was brought back to reality, I panicked and ended up pacing the corridor.
"How is she?" Hotaru shot up from her seat.
"She's fine. The baby is safe. But she is currently unconscious."
"How is the baby? Is he healthy?" Mom asked.
"Actually, Mrs. Hyuuga, it's a she. And she is very healthy." She looked to me. "What's her name?"
"Akane." Our moms said in unison.
"What?" I asked.
"Mikan told us this. She said she wants to name the child by her favourite color." Mom said.
"Where is she now?"
"She is currently unconscious for her heart rate decreased during the labor."
"What room then?"
"We are not yet certain, sir. She needs to be connected to a heart monitor in her current state."
"Why?"
"Her heart beat is not normal, it is slow."
"Wh-."
"Natsume." Ruka cut me off.
"Right. I'm panicking. Thanks, Ruka."
"Would you like to see your baby, Natsume?" Subaru asked.
"Yeah, I'd like to."
"Then will you please follow us rather than stand here and panic." He said as he led us to the nursery.
When we arrived, he pointed the baby nearest the window.
"We will give her to you when the mother is conscious already."
"Yeah, that would be best."
A nurse approached us and whispered to Subaru.
"Well, it seems like Mikan has been transferred to a room already. We have business to attend to so we won't be able to go with you. She is at Room 206." He said.
"Thank you." Then he and the doctor left.
We all walked to the room with me in the led because of my fast paces. When I reached the room Mikan was there. Relief flushed to me but I was covered in worry too since she was connected to a heart monitor.
"Natsume, you should grab something to eat." My dad said.
"I am not leaving her."
"Then we'll bring food over, okay?"
"Hn."
"Please call us when she wakes up."
"Hn."
My parents and hers exited the room.
"Natsume, don't lose yourself, okay? Hataru and I need to go somewhere. We will come back, also call me anytime when you need help, I'll be more than willing to help you since I have lots of free time." Ruka said.
"Yeah, thanks bro."
"When did you two start being so close?" Hotaru asked.
"Since a while ago when everyone was starting to lose it and Natsume made me dizzy."
"You two are so- Whatever." She said and walked away and out the door.
"See you later, Daddy Natsume."
"Yeah, see you."
When I was all alone in the room, I went to sit beside Mikan and I held her hand.
"Make sure to wake up, okay? I don't know what to do without you."
I held on to her hand for who knows how long when the next thing I knew, I was off to sleep.
I woke up with someone slowly stroking my hair. I looked up and saw Mikan looking at me weakly.
"Mikan. Wait let me call the doctor and Mom."
I clicked the voice over in the room and said to it that Mikan was awake and I immediately fished out for my phone to call my mom. I knew she was gonna call Mikan's mom anyway. A few minutes after, Subaru came with a nurse and they checked Mikan's systems. When he declared that it was fine, he left with the nurse.
"Mikan."
"Natsume. Have you seen her already?"
"Yes. She's beautiful, Mikan."
"Really? I want to hold her. Maybe tomorrow it's already evening and she may be sleeping already."
"Okay."
"Are feeling okay?"
"Yeah."
We fell silent for a few seconds when she broke it herself.
"Ne~ Natsume, if something happens to me tonight or tomorrow, please promise me that you will not blame her but instead, you will love her twice as much as you are supposed to."
"Mikan, what are you sayin-"
"Just promise me, Natsume."
"Of course, I will."
"Natsume, remember always that even if I will be gone, she is my gift to you and you should never lose her."
"Yes. I will treasure her more than any gem."
"And if you ever break your promise, I will rise from the dead and haunt you." She joked.
"You are the only person I know who can still bear to joke around in their deathbed."
"That's because I am me."
When I was going to say something, Hotaru slammed the door open.
"Mikan." She walked past me and directly to Mikan. She gave her a hug and broke in to tears.
"Your child is beautiful." Ruka, who was by the door said.
"Thanks, Ruka-pyon."
"Anyway, Natsume, have you eaten yet?" Ruka asked.
"Yeah."
"Natsume, will you please stop lying? Go with Ruka for dinner. I have something to discuss with Hotaru."
"But-"
"No more buts, mister. Eat." She said with such a very stern voice.
"Okay." Ruka led me down.
END
As the flashback ended, I was at the brink of tears already. Because I had lost her that same day.
FLASHBACK
"Natsume hurry. They said Mikan's heart suddenly dropped."Ruka shouted at me as we entered the hospital. His phone was on his hands as Hotaru just finished calling him.
We ran up the stairs, because the elevator took too much time. When we arrived at the room, the doctors were already going out and Hotaru was crying very hard.
"Imai, what's wrong?" I asked worriedly, afraid of the worst.
"She's gone." Hotaru said, her voice was shaking and Ruka went and hugged her.
"No, that can't be true."
"She is. She left this for you." She handed a letter addressed to me in Mikan's handwriting.
"A letter?"
"Yeah, she has one for all of us. She left it to me to be given to all of you."
"I think you should read it after you have seen her."
END
My thoughts stopped when I had already parked in front of the Nogi manor. I went out of the car and woke Akane.
"Yes, papa?"
"We're here."
"Okay. Can you carry me there, papa? My legs are tired."
"Of course come here."
I lifted Akane and we went to the porch where I rang the bell and was welcomed by a very smiling Ruka.
"Hey, Natsume-what's wrong with Akane?"
"She's still in the process of waking up."
"Oh okay. Everyone is waiting inside, let's go."
When we entered, Akane had fully awakened due to the noise.
"Aunt Hotaru, Uncle Ruka, Aunt Aoi, Uncle Youichi, A-" she called until I cut her off.
"Woah there little lady, we would take forever until you're done calling in the attendance of everyone here. Just say a simple greeting."
"Okay papa. Good evening everyone!"
"Happy birthday Akane!" they all screamed in reply to her greeting.
"Thanksh sho much."
"Ne~ Akane, Aunt Hotaru has something for you." Hotaru said as she came forward and handed a letter to Akane.
"Since, Akane is already four, I am giving it to you. That is from your mama. She told me to keep it until you know how to read already. You do know how to right?"
"Yes! Can I read it now?"
I put her down and she started reading.
"Hello my baby girl,
It's me, mama. I'm very sorry that I am not with you anymore. Mama was sick and she did not make it. I hope your papa is taking care of you. Please watch over him for me will you, if he ever falls for another woman test her properly and if you like her, then I will like her too. You are a smart girl after all, I may not be that smart but your papa is. If you ever have any problem, make sure to share it to papa so you wouldn't end up like mama, 'kay? Anyway, I know that today, you are celebrating your birthday. I don't know how old you are now but "Happy Birthday!" Be good to papa, okay. Love papa no matter how arrogant he is and if papa is tired, take care of him. He may forget about his health sometimes. Remember always, that mama loves and will always love you. Never forget that.
Love, Mama ^.^
When she finished reading the letter she broke down to tears.
"Mama! I love you too. I promise I will be a good girl and I will always love both papa and you forever."
I lifted her up and comforted her.
"I also promise mama that I will take care of papa too. So papa if you have a promise to mama, make sure to never break it, okay?"
"Yeah."
"Let's pinky swear papa."
"Here."
I held out my pinky and we linked it.
I promise to never break a single promise of mine to you, Mikan.

Hey guys! This is it. This is the end. I actually had cold when I finished this and it felt so weird because while I was editing it, t seemed like I was also crying. HAHAHAHA. Anyway, I share too much, don't I? So, how'd you find it?
For the last time, maybe, I thank you all for reading, reviewing and marking this as a favourite. This is my first one so, I am really inexperienced. But as I write more, I find it enjoyable.
P.S. I may post some one-shots about Natsume and Akane.
