Part 8: An Insight
Mio's POV
I watched Risa in silence as she was busy playing with her beloved blocks. Half of my heart did long for her to at least ask about our daughter, but she said nothing. It still hurt me even now.
"No cry, me bad," Risa cried as she toddled bit by bit towards me before she settled on hugging my legs and patting them gently. "Honey, it's not you," I bent a little to hold her tightly.
Abort it. Well, who am I kidding? She did imply that I better had an abortion back then. "I love you," Risa hummed into my arms as I wiped my wet eyes without her looking. "I love you more."
"Mio, we probably should join those higher-ups for lunch," Kai proposed while he entered the playroom and I rushed to hug him at once. I did not know what I was doing. But I had to.
He returned my gesture as he gently rubbed my back every now and then – it was everything I needed whenever my world went under, some sedative comfort in his arms. "Just for a while."
Ritsu's POV
I gradually slumped against the wall once I walked on Mio embracing the man she came to our assembly with earlier. "Momma, papa, me too." My heart broke twice at her sweet voice.
If I had known I was holding my own daughter a few hours ago, I honestly would have spent a lifetime studying her features, admiring her perfection. Still, that was then, I lost that chance.
I guess she finally moved on and I know better than to make her mine again. I considered as I backed out, leaving her and our daughter in his hands. "Mrs. Kotobuki, I think we–"
I focused on my business all the time and I did not even know that Mio was sitting in front of me whereas the man sat next to her. I managed to overlook her as I made conversations with him.
He kept insisting me to call him – Kai, and unlike any other man I met so far, he was extremely gentle and polite at the same time. I felt better to have an insight of who will father my daughter.
