Morning with Ariel

last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56
It’s morning. I open my eyes. I look around. An unfamiliar bed. I am in an unfamiliar room.

This clearly isn’t the hotel that I was staying at. I don’t have a home in this city. I didn’t go to someone else’s place either.

Let’s try to find out where am I? Remember.

Ahh… Last night, I was kidnapped from the hotel. A bellhop kidnapped me. Then I woke up in an abandoned mill. I was splashed with water again.

Then I was slapped. Twice at that. I touch my cheeks. They are a bit swollen. It feels numb.

How hard was I slapped? I sit up. My clothes are different. Well just the top. I am wearing my pants.

That’s a relief. Who was it? The one who kidnapped me. It’s still a bit unclear but I am clearly remembering it.

Who was it? Who was it? I see….

It was Ariel. She just kidnapped me out of nowhere and then even slapped me. Before knocking me out with sleeping meds.

So the big question is, where am I?

I inspect the room. A normal room. An apartment? I open the window curtains. It’s already mor

  • Not a husband    First day at work (RUINED)

    I took the train. It took me about 15 minutes before reaching the hotel.I didn’t look at my smartphone when I was with Ariel. She recharged it properly but I haven’t turned it on.While I climb the stairs, I turn on my phone only to be shocked.As soon as I enter the building, I am surrounded. And my eyes are glued to the screen. I have 500+ missed calls and more than 999+ messages.That’s an insane number. And the people surrounding me are really scary. They took me to the same conference room where once again Boss and father with ojou-sama and Mona were sitting.The only difference is that I am standing at the door.“Boss, we have brought him.” The man who was holding me says.It’s better to keep quiet for now. I can totally see the unease. The air is stagnant. Both Boss and father are furious and worried.Ojou-sama is glaring daggers at me. Like she would pierce through me if she had the heat ray.And Mona is unamused. She really isn’t interested in me. But that’s a plus point.I

    It’s lunchtime. The first day is going well. Because, Mona is working seriously. Ojou-sama is watching everyone work.Ariel is responsible for the other workers as she is the section chief. I didn’t even know that we had that. And I am just a decoration. I am standing by the side of Mona and ojou-sama. It wasn’t that bad. However, the staff kept talking among themselves.Maybe they are wondering how do I know Ariel? It’s an odd combination and with the exchange we had just after coming here, it’s become something of a topic.Now I am wondering what to do. I am sitting in the lounge area and thinking. I see Mona. She is eating her lunch gracefully. Ojou-sama is also eating.I told Ariel beforehand that she should just eat. I am gonna find something to eat was what I told her. But now what to do?Nothing is gonna happen if I stay here. I get up and leave the lounge. There is an activity board in the office.I wrote my name in it and wrote that I went to have lunch. That will give them

  • Not a husband    Boring

    I am currently lying on a hospital bed. After the ambulance came, I was shifted to the hospital. They made a big fuss about it. Even Boss and father came.I said that they are over exaggerating it. But they didn’t listen to me at all. I don’t know where they are but they have given me strict orders. I can’t move from the bed. So I am bored to death.Also what happened to that girl? I think I have seen her before. After thinking back a while, I remembered.She is that girl. Who asked me to fetch her cat. So this time the cat ran in front of a truck. I think she will suffer greatly because of that cat.◇◇◇◇Let’s change the location and point of view.(The doctor POV)I have been a doctor for over 20 years. My medical experience is greater than other doctors. I have seen patients. Different types and different cases.However, I haven’t seen a patient like this. Today at noon, a patient was brought.

    I am bored to death. I have been strapped to my bed. Because, I tried to sneak out of the hospital. It is really boring. Everything is white. Nurses are wearing white. My eyesight is becoming white. The tv doesn’t run. The food is unappetizing. I can’t listen to music. The doctor only comes twice a day.It is real hard. It has been three days since I was admitted. Boss and father are visiting me on a daily basis. Ariel also comes and spends a few hours a day. Surprisingly, Mona and ojou-sama are also coming.I understand Ariel but why are they coming? Anyway, I don’t understand women, so I will just give up on that matter.I can’t even get up. I look at the clock. It’s almost time for the doctor to make his round.And the door opens. However the doctor isn’t alone. Someone has come.I look closely and see that not just one but many have come.One by one all of them enters the cabin.“Why are all of you together?” The line up is really weird. Boss, father, Mona, ojou-sama, Ariel, tha

  • Not a husband    Thoughts and a gift

    I am still in bed. The hospital bed is actually really comfortable. It’s soft and has the right springiness and is automatic. I can sit up without any effort and it even has a vibrating system.I am making full use of this bed. I use it to massage my body. But lying down all day long is very tiring. The operation that the doctor was talking about has been finished. I am shifted to my cabin once again.Many people come to visit me everyday. Ariel is one thing but ojou-sama and Mona still come to visit me. Even Boss or father forgets but they make sure to come everyday.Ariel even makes me lunch. She really is a good cook. Maybe I should consider remarriage. She is perfect in every way. We get along just fine and she is totally smitten with me. Not to brag but seeing her behavior it’s pretty obvious. Only a fool would let a chance like this get away. Then I get discharged, let’s ask her. She asked me to stay with her so I am hoping for a positive answer.A family of 4. Us both and a pa

  • Not a husband    The interview (Interrogation)

    The doctor is sitting by the window. Come on doc, don’t block the window.My bed is in the middle where to my right is the window and the door is to my left. Doctor took the right side and blocked the window. The three girls are sitting by my right.“I am gonna call you Akito. Is that okay?” (Doc)“Of course. I like it that way.”“Then, when was the last time you procreated?” (Doc)Did I hear that right? I can feel the twitch on my face.“Can you say it again? I think I heard something wrong.”“When did you last procreate?” (Doc)I can feel three intense gazes from my left. Their eyes are glowing. “Never.” The honest answer. It’s true though. I have been so busy that I never had the chance.“I see. Then the reports weren’t wrong. Next question, the last time you did a self action?” (Doc)I see. It’s THAT.“Around 7 years. Been a while.” I never had the time to do THAT either. “What is this THAT?” Ojou-sama asks. Of course she doesn’t know. She doesn’t need to know.“Well, sometim

    It has been a week since that interrogation. I will be released the day after tomorrow. Most of my bandages are off. I am told to go to a rehabilitation center. But I walked just fine. So I won’t have to go to a rehab.Ratri is still my nurse and I feel like she is only taking care of me. I mean, she just comes here and sits by me. Doesn’t move till her shift ends. Mona and ojou-sama come together at the same time.Ariel comes during lunch.I was supposed to be in a hospital but when I think about it, I was surrounded by women all the time.I am a patient who should just stay in bed and yet all these women keep visiting me everyday.I look at Ratri who is by my side. She is checking my reports. And the clock strikes lunchtime.“What should we do?” (Ratri)“Isn’t it always the same? Ariel will come with my lunch.” It has become something of an habit. She always comes around this time.And speak of the devil, I hear the door knob turn.And Ariel enters the room. I thought she would clo

    I just prevented a hand grenade from entering the cabin. It would have been disastrous if it did. These are special grenades. Capable of totally blowing up this room. I look behind to see them. Ratri is looking not too bad. She has had previous experiences with these things so it might not be too much for her. Now that I think about it, all of them have had such experiences.Both ojou-sama and Mona are daughters of Yakuza. They should be used to seeing guns and stuff. Ariel used to lead an all girls gang. I am not saying that she is used to it but she should be okay.However, my thoughts were too lukewarm and happy go lucky. They are totally not okay. Ojou-sama is shivering. I can see her moist eyes. She is on the brink of crying. Ariel is all restless. She is walking all over the place. Mona is just standing like a statue.But then she just fell on her seat. She probably lost her strength.“This is gonna get ugly. You guys should just leave.”They are clearly nearby. I think they a

    He is unbelievable

    (Mona POV)The self proclaimed vampire Seina gave us an explanation. His explanation was a bit hard to follow since I prefer to think logically. It took me a few moments to truly understand what he was saying.“Anyway, as long as Serus doesn’t do anything, he should be fine.” (Seina)I was about to ask him something but someone got a message on their phone.It turned out to be Mr. Sakai. He looked at his phone and suddenly dropped his phone.“What happened, dad?” (Akito)He couldn’t say anything. He just kept pointing at his phone. When Akito picked it up, his face distorted. What did he see?“What is the matter, Akito?” (Masato)“It seems that Serus is in trouble.” (Akito)How can that guy be in trouble? Didn’t he escape from the troubles?“What happened?” (Masato)Akito passed the phone to Masato. But he didn’t let me or other girls see.“This is serious. At this rate, Serus will die before he will normally die.” (Masato)What’s happening? How can Serus be in life threatening situati

    Abducted once again

    A week has passed since Frank made contact with me. I have sent my package to Masato and I have already requested Akito to not help Ratri.I know that she is trying to save me. But there’s no saving me. I am beyond redemption. I have my death planned out. It will be a Viking style death. I will sit on a raft and set sail and then light that raft on fire.My remains would be too damaged to be analyzed. That way, I won’t have to worry about me being cloned.I am sitting in my room.

    The vampire

    (Mona POV)In the last few days, my reality has been shattered. What I knew to be real seems fake now. Ever since my not so married husband returned, my reality has changed. His connections were too unusual.He is not with me anymore. And I am having a hard time describing my feelings for him. I am not sure what I feel for him. I was told that he is an artificial human created by my mother and Masato. And he is to die in a few months. But suddenly I am being told that there exists a vampire in our country.What’s the next thing? Are they gonna tell me that aliens are real? Nessie actually exists? I am having a hard time keeping up with this crazy situation.But I focus on the current situation. Akito and his father, Mr. Sakai are visiting Masato. Masato called me, Ariel and Shizuka to his house before they arrived.We all are here. Serus, my not so married husband, had sent a letter to Akito. It’s an apology letter from him and he has requested Akito to not help Ratri. By the way, R

    Family circumstances

    (Mona POV)Masato suddenly got a call from his friend, Sakai who is Akito’s father and a victim of Masato. But why did he call Masato now of all times?Masato takes his phone and leaves. I think he will call him back and ask. After a minute or so he came back. “What happened? What did he say?” I ask Masato. And he isn’t looking very cheerful.“Sakai said that he and Akito are coming here.” (Masato)“Here? Now of all times? Why would he come here?” (Ariel)Ariel has a harsh tone. Maybe she doesn’t like Mr. Sakai. Well, considering what he has done to Serus, he can be called a person with questionable morals.“He didn’t elaborate on why he is coming. He said that he will explain it face to face.” (Masato)I am a bit curious. Ariel seems plainly annoyed. Tsubasa and Shizuka have disinterested faces. Half an hour later, we hear the doorbell. Masato leaves to check. “This will be the first time we are meeting him. I wonder what kind of a person he is!” I am positive that he isn’t that

    (Mona POV)Masato has left the room to search for something. Me, Ariel and Shizuka are left here. But Masato came back soon with a laptop.He boots the laptop and starts typing aggressively. Why is he clicking so fast?“What are you doing?”“Well, I should send something to Serus as well.” (Masato)“What do you have in mind?” (Shizuka)“Serus likes chocolates. I am thinking of buying him an assortment of chocolates.” (Masato)“I didn’t know he likes chocolates.” (Ariel)“Yeah. He took a liking to it when he got some during his childhood. That’s probably the only thing Sakai ever gave him. And when he became independent, he started buying chocolates on his own.” (Masato)A side of him that no one knew. Makes me wonder how much we actually knew about him.“That reminds me, you never gave him any chocolate on Valentine’s Day?” I ask Ariel. Because she has known him the longest after Masato.“I thought he didn’t like sweets. So I didn’t give him any chocolates. But I did make him somethi

    The package

    (Mona POV)A week has passed since Serus fled. This whole week was one thing after another. We had to explain the entire situation to both my father and Mr. Kanehaya. My father knew some of it but the rest was still too shocking for him.And Mr. Kanehaya had no idea. Must have been a pretty big blow. I am still uncertain. Tsubasa and Ariel have pulled themselves together. Now only a fire of revenge remains in them.But I don’t know what Shizuka is thinking. She has been working on something but I don’t know what. And the African mafia has retreated. Rachel stayed behind as her studies weren’t finished. Masato has been restless since then. Akito visits him everyday.

    The movie and vengeance

    (Akito POV)Ever since I have stepped foot in India, I have been a bit dramatic. I am feeling like my emotions aren’t in control. On a sudden impulse, I came here to watch a movie. The movie is supposed to be good. I heard good things about this movie. I bought two tickets and got us some popcorn to munch on with some cola. Our seats were at a corner of the theater. The movie is about to begin.“You like this actor if I remember correctly, don’t you?” I asked Ratri. “Yes. I have been a fan of him since childhood. I find it hard to believe that he is the same age as my father.” (Ratri)“Well, he takes good care of himself. See, the movie is about to begin.” The lights were off and the movie began. Very typical for a movie opening. It took about 5 minutes just to get to a movie scene. The beginning is full of sponsor names and stuff like that.Anyway, I won’t describe the movie word for word. It’s a good movie. The story is a spy thriller. Two countries at odds with each other. One

    The actual truth

    (Mona POV)Everything has become complicated. Serus or whatever his name is, has totally messed up our lives. Masato said that Akito is coming here with my mother. I patiently wait for them to arrive. Ariel and Tsubasa did wake up. They started throwing a fit about wanting to see Akito. We had no choice but to make them remember. They were present when Serus revealed everything.One thing is still bothering me. Why are their memories so jumbled? They were supposed to have gone to the same elementary school. But what Serus said doesn’t match with Ariel’s memories.I guess only one way to find out. It’s usually our parents who raise us. So they remember things we forget. My mother has a lot to explain.Currently, we are all sitting in the hall room. With a grim look on her face, Ariel is silent. She has been that way ever since we made her remember what Serus said.Tsubasa is also the same. How is she so attached to Serus?I feel like nothing has changed. We still don’t know anything.

    I really want to make him pay

    (Mona POV)The last thing I remember is my husband saying some incomprehensible words. They exactly weren’t incomprehensible but I couldn’t make anything out of them. I had signaled others to take the initiative and capture my husband. I know that they also harbor some sort of feelings for him but he moved before us.I passed out after the white smoke hit me. Waking up, I found myself on a mattress. Ariel and Tsubasa are on my each sides. I sit up and try to assess the situation. The floor has tatami mats. It seems like the house which my husband had recently bought. “What time is it?” I asked myself expecting no one to answer it for me.“It’s evening. You were conked out for more than 5 hours.” I heard an answer. It came from behind me. I look back as well. There, I find a seated Shizuka. “What are you doing?” “Meditating. His actions made me do something that I wasn’t accustomed to do. I have to recompose my mind.” (Shizuka)She sits normally. I also sit facing her. “What e
