Part 12: These Hands
Mio's POV
"Momma, papa brought me teddy!" I managed a small smile as soon as I caught sight of my baby – if only she did not bear any resemblance to her. "You shaky. You cold?" she queried.
"Mm-hmm, hug me, please," I plead and she immediately climbed on me whereas I struggled to hold back my tears. "There, there," she whispered while she held onto my hands tightly.
"I'm sorry we're late, Mio, we just got back from the parking lot. She needs her ted," Kai excused as he took her car seat along single-handedly, then dropped it close to the entrance way.
I'm glad you're late – I thought as I adjusted my hold on Risa while my mind drifted to a certain someone – someone I lost a long time ago and maybe, for forever. "Are you okay?"
"I need water," I said with a low voice whereas his eyes seemed fixated on my broken lips innocently. I did try to cover it up with a lip balm. "I'll get it," he nodded twice before he left again.
Ritsu's POV
Time passed me by as I watched my bleeding hands impassively whereas my broken heart died a little bit more every single time she came up in my mind. I'll wear it forever – she vowed.
I withdrew my locket and threw it into the sink straight away once I recalled her empty promise. The good part in me wronged whatever I did to my ex. Still, my dark side worshipped my sin.
She lies, you stupid, she deserves it – my subconscious snarled at me as I kept on looking at the locket intently. For now, I felt like I was going crazy with all the drones stuck in my head.
"Gosh, Ritsu, what happened to you? Are you okay?" I turned around and I saw a worried Hana marched toward me as she extracted tissues from her handbag. "These hands… deserve it."
She squinted at me before she draped them around my hands gently whereas I observed the broken glasses beneath our feet. "These hands hurt her," I said as they trembled on – in pains in fears.
