Not a husband I take it back. He is insane
(Mona POV)I am in the hospital. Sitting right by Akito’s side. His surgery is over. He will be released in a few days. By the way, Shizuka is sitting with me.We both have been coming to visit him together. After us comes Ariel. I asked Akito and he said that the three of is have been coming here every day.She even brings him lunch. Which is really not necessary but he complained saying hospital food is bland. I guess it is a bit bland because it’s for the ill.But now Akito is grinning. He is grinning with his eyes closed. Maybe he is thinking of something.“Akito, stop showing that disgusting grin. Why were you so disgustingly grinning?” (Shizuka)Shizuka gave him a sharp blow. Even I think that’s a bit too much. She likes him so much but her way of speaking is like he is her mortal enemy.“Ahh… I was just considering my remarriage.” (Akito)What did he say? He still thinks that I have divorced him. I should clear up that misunderstanding as well or he might commit a crime by marr
Not a husband A confrontation
(Mona POV)It has been another week. Akito will be released in two days. As usual, we are at the office. But this is the time when we leave to visit him.I look at Ariel. She is working fast. She has a big bag by her desk. That’s probably today’s lunch. She always cooks lunch for him. “How nice!! She gets to feed him everyday and Akito eats it like he misses it.” (Shizuka)Shizuka is mumbling beside me. We both work in the same cabin and sometimes she talks about the other girls around Akito.If I count then Akito has a total of 4 women including me. How can that guy be this popular?“Maybe I should learn to cook as well.”“Are you planning on stealing a march?” (Shizuka)“Eh…did I say it out loud?”I only thought of that but to say it out loud…“I knew it. You really are planning on stealing a march. I won’t let you. We will fight fair and square for him.” (Shizuka)“But I am still his wife.”“He doesn’t know it. He thinks that you divorced him. So I will steal his heart. And yet ne
Not a husband A talk about the past
(Mona POV)Akito told us to take shelter and he himself had left for somewhere. We all tried to toe him to the bed with a rope. But that didn’t work. He just broke the rope and left.I take Ariel and Shizuka and leave. I have already called my father and he sent a car for us.After getting in, we all heaved a big sigh. “What was that?” (Ariel)“Just a normal grenade thrown at Akito.” “Why would a grenade come flying at him? He is still hiding something.” (Ariel)“Maybe.” I seriously don’t know why does he feel the need to do so. But he isn’t telling us something.“Where did Ratri go?” (Shizuka)“Maybe helping the patients. She is a nurse.” That’s true. That Ratri has some idea about what is happening but she won’t tell us either.And we reached a safe place. Outside of the city bounds. But this place isn’t too nice.“This place is too far away and it’s dirty.” (Shizuka)“I know. This used to be a weapons storage but now this is just an abandoned place. It is intended to be used as
Not a husband Learning something new
(Mona POV)After some time, we left the Mathers mansion. We head back to the hospital. The commotion had died and the patients were returning to the hospital.When we enter, we found Ratri. “Where did you go?” “Helping the patients. I was in a bunker but for convenience’s sake, tell everyone that I was with you.” (Ratri)“Where is Akito?” (Ariel)“I don’t know. But I see doctor there. I’ll go ask him.” (Ratri)Ratri went to ask the doctor about Akito. We go to him as well. But Akito isn’t here.That’s when something happened. Akito came on a stretcher. He was heavily wounded. The doctor immediately sent him to the operation theater. Ratri was going in the theater and she told us to leave but we refused. Ariel is grim again and I can’t think straight. After this, I don’t know if I will see him or not. But he is getting scolded. A lot. We all sit outside the operation theater and wait.Some time later a man came. He was a black man. Normally you don’t see them here but he was limpin
Not a husband Waking up
I wake up. That’s it. Because currently all of my mental composure is at work. The amount of pain running through my body is unimaginable. I haven’t even opened my eyelids yet.Because they are so heavy. I can’t pull them up. I remember it. That time when I woke up midway through the surgery.I was fully conscious and I screamed. It was a deathly wail. But soon I fell into a deep slumber. I don’t know how many days have passed. Or has even a second passed? That’s how fuzzy my mind actually is. But laying here won’t help. Fortunately, I am conscious again. Meaning, I can focus on healing myself.Normally, it would be impossible for me to survive that attack. A normal human would have died right away. Because I was caught in a barrage of bullets.I tried to avoid getting hit in my vitals but the damage kept on piling. And I had lost way too much blood.Clinically, physiologically and even realistically my survival is impossible. Because the bullets fired at me were lead bullets. It wou
Not a husband Recollection of the past
I think you guys might be wondering why am I talking like this. It’s a chapter where I look back at my past.I cannot look at everything but I will touch on the important bits. My story which started 25 years ago is going.I was born with the name Akito Sakai. I know. It’s a really common name. My family was kind on uncommon though. My date of birth, August 8. I was born on a Tuesday.That doesn’t matter. I should begin with my parents. I really don’t want to say their names so it’s Mr and Mrs Sakai.They gave birth to me. For that, I am neither happy nor grateful to them. In the first place, I owe them nothing.There’s a saying that children owe their very existence to their parents but! It’s a big but when it’s my case. I owe them nothing. They reluctantly gave birth to me and reluctantly raised me. Giving me the bare minimum just to keep me alive. I thought they would never educate me. But they had their reputation to uphold. So they sent me to the nearest elementary school.I us
Not a husband Beginning
I open my eyes. I feel a lot better than before. I don’t know what time it is but I feel better. I can see properly. I can hear sounds. My breathing is a bit on the rough side but I will live.I try to move my head but I couldn’t. Is this a plaster? A neck plaster. So I am stuck.Because I can’t feel my body. Why? Normally the anesthetics would just put me to sleep. It would be for a short while. If you seriously want to put me to sleep then use bigger doses. Use morphine or even more dangerous stuff.I guarantee I won’t die. But this feels familiar. My whole body is paralyzed. I can see and listen. I try to speak and I can speak fine. So only my body is unresponsive.Meaning, the culprit is Mr. M. He had said before that he synthesized a special anesthetic just for me. I even tested it and the results were the same.I guess he gave some to Monga? That man had the uncanny ability of anticipation. He almost always perfectly anticipated things.He never fails to impress. So this will p
Not a husband Regroup
It has been 2 days since Mona had that conversation with me. I have recovered. I can walk now but it would still take me some time to fully recover.I am taking it easy. I have never let my body fully heal. I always patched things up and rushed out. I never cared for my body. But this time, the damage is too severe.I have accumulated a lot of stress and my body won’t do as I say. So I have to heal. It means that I get to have another full week of rest.I don’t know what happened after Mona left. Only Monga came to visit me. I asked him about the situation. He said that no one has made a move yet.The government is probably hesitant. Because two yakuza gangs have become involved in this mess. And they are rather influential.So the government could jeopardize its own credibility if they made a wrong move. The Kusanagi and the Kanehaya group have a lot of connections. From local government to the parliament, they have a lot of people in and out of the system.So it will be harder for t

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

But there’s no saving me. I am beyond redemption. I have my death planned out. It will be a Viking style death.

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

Return gift
(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

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.

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
