After that night. Life became smoother than I thought that bastard left without saying anything. After that I live with Minato—peacefully
Two years later~
Morning light is coming from the window; My eyes open, slowly. I glance outside;
"It's already morning." I yawn.
I stand—stretching my hands. Sunlight was falling into my face as I walked toward the door, down.
I see… Minato was sitting on the sofa—smiling.
"Good morning, sleepy head." Minato grinned.
I look at him with a cheerful look, "Huh, I don't even sleep that much." I sat beside him.
Minato smiles—standing; Handing me an envelope. I look at him in confusion.
"What is in there?" I questioned.
Minato just smiles without saying a word—moving toward the main door.
"Hey… tell me." I peek at him from the sofa.
"Where are you going now?" Minato turned toward me, "You don't know…"
S ~ i ~ l ~ e ~ n ~ c ~ e
"Where I am going…" Minato's eyes were confusing as he came nearer.
"I am going where I have to." He whispers, turning back.
"HUH??" Speechless, not a word came out of my mouth. Where he has to be… what is in that envelope… Something is fishy.
I hurriedly ran—Grabbing Minto's arm, firmly. I was covered in sweat. Suddenly…
The door opens—slowly… Someone grabbed Minato's wrist, "Let's go."
Minato looks at me then looks at my hand where I am holding him. Minato takes off my hand from his arm with silence; As he takes another man's hands.
"Yeah." Minato says, smiling. Minato looked at me—one last time, shutting the door on my face.
I was stunned, my legs were not moving an inch like my legs were trapped in ice.
My breath became suffocating—I kneel. Grabbing my chest, "What is happening??" The envelope slipped from my hand.
Tons of papers scattered all over the ground. Between them there are big headlines that are visibly showing.
SUBJECT : DIVORCE.
My eyes opened wide… Why is it saying divorce. My hands moving on their own. Searching for something in the scraps.
I grabbed the paper where it was saying divorce. Reading…

I rip the paper in half then in pieces. I throw it on the ground.
"WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE." I roared.
Running out from the main door to catch them—in rage. My heart was beating so fast in pain. An unfamiliar feeling was rising into my heart.
I got a glimpse of them across the zebra crossing. I called, "MINATO WAIT!!" My legs were wobbling while running, and my face was covered with sweat. The clothes were completely soaked.
That man looked at me—smirking, holding Minato's hand as saying he's mine. Without even thinking I run toward them—not knowing it is a red light.
A car in full speed hit me.
*SMASH
My body was thrown forward, my head hit the ground. Blood scattered all over. My head was hurting like crazy. But I turn, tolerating pain. Looking them;
Minato doesn't even glance at me, he just goes forward with that man…
Before my eyes were closing—people crowded all over the body. That car ran away; My eyes were only open on Minato. That man beside Minato, his face was familiar. That cafe… owner??
My last thought; My heart beats began to slow. My eyes closed—as if I was talking my last minute before dying. I clenched my hand in frustration.
WHY?? WHHYYYY??? It happened to me… I just want to be with Minato.. WHY HE IS NOT LOOKING AT ME.
My inner voice screams—my blood draining, continuously. I swear I will take my things back at any cost.
*WEE-WOO *WEE-WOO
My consciousness faded; Everything became dark… last time I only heard an ambulance sound. I feel lightweighted like my big burden just left.
Suddenly…
I hear something—calling me, "Hey. Wake up." Shaking me… he repeated 4 times. My eyes opened—My breath was suffocating.
I bolted awake—sit… Panting, Face covered with sweat. Grabbing my chest, "What the hell was that?" Tears were falling into his cheeks—shivering.
A hand was toughing my back—sliding.
"It's okay." A voice whispered. My breath starts to calm—slowly. Without any care, I ran toward Minato's room.
