Chapter 15

"Why didn't you run when you had the chance? They didn't see you until you came running to me." Asked the girl.

"Just couldn't leave a clumsy brat by herself." Answered the boy.

"But it's my fault Ma-kun too got kidnapped." The girl started to cry.

"Stop crying. I wanted to get the experience of getting kidnapped. It has nothing to do with you. Don't give too much importance to yourself." The boy smiled at her wiping her tears away.

"But... it's all my fault.. I should have listened to you... I'm sorry." The girl said in between her cry.

"Stop crying stupid. I'm the older one so i should have looked after you and i told you already i just wanted some adventure. Jeez you're such a cry baby." The boy hugged her.

"And i know my dad will find us in no time cause you see I've brought this along." He showed her a watch.

"What is this?" The girl asked innocently.

"This has a tracking device on it. "

"What's a tracking device?" Asked the girl.

"Like the one that detective puts it on the criminal so that he can follow him around." Explained the boy.

"Just like in the book that Ma-kun reads?" Asked the girl.

"Yes." Nodded the boy.

"How did Ma-kun get this cool watch?" The girl asked.

"It's a recent product of my dad's company. But I'm not sure it'll work, cause it is the first test model." The boy was unsure.

"Don't worry Ma-kun I'm sure Ryuu chan will find us soon." The girl tried to cheer him up.

"Yeah i hope he does." The boy nodded.

"Thank you Ma-kun, because you're with me I'm not afraid now. Ma-kun got kidnapped on purpose for Tesa. So that Tesa doesn't get alone and cry alone. Ma-kun only pretends to be rude and scary but Ma-kun is actually very sweet." The girl smiled sweetly.

The boy blushed.

"Shut up ugly brat. I only came with you because my mom would have eaten me up if i didn't look after you. And when will you learn to pronounce your name properly? You're already 8, stupid." The boy yelled to hide his embarrassment.

"But Tesa is Tesa." The girl said touching her nose.

"It's Teresa, you dumb cry baby."

Teresa's P.O.V

"Huh? That girl, was that me?"

I felt glare of light on my face.

"Nnn" i slowly opened my eyes.

"Ow this headache." I rubbed my forehead.

"Good morning!" Rina said cheerfully.

"Good morning." I replied rubbing my eyes.

"Here a strong coffee for your headache." She offered me the cup.

"Thanks I needed this." I grabbed the cup and took a sip.

As I had the coffee I constantly tried to recall the dream but I couldn't.

It was just a dream. Big deal? I decide to ignore it.

"Are you feeling good?" I asked Rina.

"Much better." She smiled at me.

Yesterday she cried her heart out and we burnt anything and everything related to that gross.

I'm glad she's doing well. But I regret the part that I was not there when she needed me. But I'm going to make up for that.

She clicked her fingers in front of my face.

Startled I looked at her.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"Nothing. just planning for the day." I replied excitedly.

Rina: "What plans? It's almost 12pm."

Teresa: "So what? The day's just started. We'll go shopping, watch movies and go see Ai-chan and eat Ai-chan's love donuts. It's almost been a month we didn't have it. I miss it so badly. "

"What about your leg?" She pointed at my injured leg.

"Oh look it's all better. I'll just have to prevent myself from jumping around." I stood up and showed her.

"Ok then it's decided." I clapped my hands together.

"But first, we'll have to get a face-pack done. I look so horrible.

She laughed.

"You're even worse." I circled my finger around her face.

After few minutes.

I was applying the face pack on Rina's face. Rihito entered the hall.

"What's going on ladies?" He asked.

Teresa: "Oh great timing. Come I'll apply it on you too."

Rihito:"No thank you. I'm fine." He hesitated.

Teresa:"Don't be shy big bro. Come and sit here." I patted the chair beside me.

Rihito: "No I'm really fine. You guys continue. Now that you're here there's no need for me to stay. So i was just taking my leave."

Teresa: "How can you leave so soon? No, not allowed. I have yet to thank you properly."

Rihito: "I'll receive your thanks some other day. I've really got to go."

Teresa: "You're coming or should i come and get you. If i come I'll make sure you have your nails painted too."

Rihito: "Okay then. Here we go." He sat on the chair.

Teresa: "That's like a good brother."

I applied the face pack on him then on my face and leaned back on the chair.

Rihito's P.O.V

**Cellphone buzzing**

"Yeah?" I answered.

"Where are you?" Asked my best friend.

"Hey buddy! Me? I'm having some facial treatment." I replied.

Ryouma: "Facial treatment? Are you out of your mind?"

Rihito: "No. They were having it, i thought why not? It's actually quite good. You should get it done too."

Ryouma: "No thank you. You're still there?"

Rihito: "You know I'm still here and that's why you called."

Ryouma: "Who said i wanted to talk to her?"

Rihito: "You're right Ryouma. No one said so, but you're agreeing without asking. If you're missing her that badly, just call her."

Ryouma: "Who's missing whom? She can do whatever she wants i don't care!"

Rihito: "Okay then. If you don't care, why did you call again? Didn't we talk in the morning?"

Ryouma: "For the last time, I don't care! And now I can't even call you?"

Rihito: "Where are you?"

Ryouma: "Home."

Rihito: "It's already noon and you're still home?"

Ryouma: "Dude, its Sunday."

Rihito: "Did sun rise from the west? The great Ryouma is home on Sunday?! This date shall be written in history."

Ryouma: "Very funny. I went to the office. But didn't have any work so i returned home."

Rihito: "Wow! Can't believe Ryouma the great doesn't have work!! Truly a day to be noted."

Ryouma: "Whatever. By the way what're you doing?"

Rihito: "I just told you. I'm having a facial."

Ryouma: "For real?"

Rihito: "Yes. Your wife is really good at it."

Ryouma: "What is she doing? Is her leg okay? "

Rihito: "Finally you get to the point huh?"

Ryouma: "Shut up, not that I care just casually. Mom was asking."

Rihito: "Really? When?"

Ryouma: "Just now."

Rihito: "Then what is she doing here?"

Ryouma: "She's there?"

Rihito: "you just talked to her and she didn't tell you?"

Mom: "Oii Rihito stop talking or else you'll get wrinkles."

Rihito: "You heard her Ryouma? I don't want wrinkles and If your excuses are over I'm hanging up. Bye."

Haha he just needs to agree he's missing her.

30 minutes later

Rihito: "Wah! Teresa it's really effective, my face is actually shining."

Teresa: "See i told you. You should do it once in a while."

*phone buzzing*

Rihito: "Yes dude."

Ryouma: "Um actually nothing, forget it."

*10 mins later*

Rihito: "You know what Ryouma wait a second."

"Teresa your husband seems to be missing you very badly please let him hear your voice once or else he'll go mad and make me mad too."

She took the call but there's no one.

Teresa: "Come, let's go I'll make you taste the no. 1 donuts in town. My treat!"

Rihito:"'Kay." 👌

Meanwhile

Ryouma's P.O.V

"Seriously, What am i doing? Argh!!" I threw the cell phone on the bed and lied down.

Ryouma, let's do some work.

I opened my laptop.

I glanced at the bed, then back at the screen. I walked up to the bed and arranged the magazines at perfect 90 degree angle.

"Perfect."

I went back and sat on the couch with my laptop.

On the second thought, i went back and disarranged it.

"Why is there pin drop silence? No, Ryouma you like silence. Good thing that chatter box isn't around."

"Jeez what's wrong with me?" I sat on the couch and threw my head back in frustration.

*cell phone buzzed*

"What the hell?" Rihito sent me a picture of him and my wife having popcorn outside the movie theatre. With *I'll keep you updated 😋 * as caption.

I threw my phone.

"Who cares about anything?"

But i picked my phone and opened insta. My mom just added another pic. And here she's enjoying herself.

"What am i a stalker?" I threw the phone back.

Argh!!! 😠😠😬

After a week

3rd person P.O.V

After a week of fun, Teresa finally returns home.

"You're back?" Ryouma tries to hide his happiness seeing his wife back.

"Yeah! We had lots of fun." She replied happily.

"Good for you." He tried to be disinterested.

"Wow husband, the room is just the way i left it. I thought you liked perfection." Teresa looked around the room amazed.

"What's the use of arranging everything perfectly when you're going to disarrange it again?" Ryouma taunted her.

"Good, good you've become smart after living with me." She nodded with a smile on her face.

And today after a week, having his chatterbox back, Ryouma sleeps peacefully.
