Not a husband My husband is abnormal
(Mona POV)We worked like normal. Akito is standing by our side. He is told to be our helper but we don’t we much help. I can deal with office work just fine.I thought Shizuka would need some help. But she seems competent enough to deal with this much paperwork.And Akito is just standing by us. I told him to take a seat but he declined.“I am your bodyguard. I have to look that part too.”He said that and is guarding us. But I can see her. The woman he talked to looking at him occasionally.I looked her up. Her name is Ariel Mathers. She is the section chief and has been working in this company for three years.A good and diligent office worker who is the same age as me. There are no problems in her records and she does her work perfectly.Her name is kinda foreign but that’s due to her half British lineage. Her father was British who decided to stay in this country. Why Akito knows her? She has been together with him since elementary school. From elementary to high school, they we
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
