Not a husband An assault
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
Not a husband A barrage of questions
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
Not a husband A Face-off
I leave the room. Mona, Ariel, Ratri and ojou-sama are in the room. Maybe not. They should have left already. I need to hurry as well.I rush towards the lift but it is busy. I guess mass hysteria has broken out. Everyone is leaving. As fast as they can. But I can’t see anyone. Because, I was caught by them for a while.So I take the stairs instead. I didn’t even need the lift anyway. Taking the stairs is actually faster. While climbing down the stairs, I look around. The whole hospital is empty.This feels quite eerie. But I have no time thinking about that. When I reach the front desk, it was deserted as well. And I can see the people running around.The road is blocked. Everyone is trying to run away. But was it that shocking? It’s just a single grenade. I leave the hospital and stand outside. I had forgotten that I was wearing the hospital clothes.It was distasteful. But then a police officer came to me.“Why haven’t you evacuated yet?” (Officer)“I am evacuating now.”I avoid th
Not a husband Nothing special happened
I am currently sitting with Monga. In the basement of the police booth. Why? I am having a drink with him.Earlier I broke in here. Breaking in would be a crime but this police booth was empty and I knocked first. His servant led me to him. So I am not breaking in by any means. After that we had a debate. He didn’t recognize me at first so I kinda jogged his memory a bit. Then, he ordered his men to fight. Well fighting wasn’t too hard.There were about 20 men in the room. All armed with firearms. And he sent them all at me. They encircled me and pointed there guns at me.However Monga knew this was futile. Because, I have beaten up his men before right in front of him. He knows how much of a monster am I.Calling myself a monster would be a bit too much. But you can’t change the truth. I am a monster. At least to normal humans.The moment they were about to pull the trigger, I jumped. But I didn’t want to kill others just because we two have a scuffle. So, I kicked the guy in front
Not a husband Here I am again!!!
I was hiding behind the bar counter because there was a cluster bomb. It would detonate any moment now. And it did.*Boom* I heard that and the shockwave hit me. The heat and fire emerged and everything collapsed.I don’t know what happened but when I regained consciousness, I found myself there. I am still sitting there albeit I am buried in rubble. So, the roof collapsed causing everything to fall down. Due to the rubble, the fire went out. Thank goodness. If the fire had started then I would have become a roasted human. I check Monga.He is beside me. “Monga, you okay?”I call him but it seems that he is unconscious. I see blood too. I guess, some rubble hit him.I can’t see very well because of low light. I move my hands to feel the surroundings.We barely avoided a concrete beam. But I should get up first. I try to move the rubble that was blocking me. Monga was surprisingly, not covered in rubble.After getting rid of the rubble, I grab Monga and try to stand up. But there I fe
Not a husband The doctor’s dilemma
I was taking refuge in a bunker. Our city had something like that was completely unknown to me. Many people were in the shelter with me. But after a few moments, the police opened the shelter door.“It’s okay now.” The officer said.All of us who were in the shelter, left in an orderly manner. I head straight to the hospital. Because the patients would be back as well.When I enter the hospital, it’s busy. Every patient was being taken to their rooms. There are currently no critical cases so we are fine.“Doctor…” A nurse calls me. I look at the nurse and find out who she is. Ms. Ratri has been working here for 2 years. She is good nurse. And she is in charge of Mr. Akito.“Akito has yet to return. Have you seen him?” (Ratri)“No. Did he also escape?” I didn’t see him in my shelter. Maybe he was in another shelter.“He told us to run away. I went with Ms. Kusanagi. And Ms. Kanehaya was with us.” (Ratri)They all ran away together. I had the feeling that they knew each other.“I will

Slash marks and holes, there were countless of them.What did he go through in these five years? And he left for his job. I was very happy because he said he would come back.And I left for my job as well.

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

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?

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

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 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
