Chapter 59 - Does Time Heals Wounds?

On the weekend, Sanyu took Ayumi out to watch the movies. "What movie will we be watching?" Ayumi asks. He looks at the list of movies, "Let's watch....Grave of Fireflies!" "Oh! Isn't that an animated movie? It looks cute!" Ayumi smiles. "Yeah, it is an animated movie," he laughs as he pays the ticket.

After the movie ended, Ayumi wipes her tears, "It was so sad!" Sanyu hugs Ayumi, "I didn't expect it to be so sad." "Okay, I'm done crying, let's go walk around," she holds onto Sanyu's arm. He laughs, "Silly girl." Ayumi looks up at him, "My makeup isn't ruined is it?" He looks down at her, "It's fine."

The two walks around the city and enters a bunch of stores together. Many women gossiped around them. "Is that her boyfriend?" "Wow she's so lucky!" "He's so handsome! Too bad he has a girlfriend.." "He looks like a model!" "But she's so pretty too! Like an actress or something!" "They're a match made in heaven!"

Ayumi drags Sanyu into a clothing shop, "Let's go in here!" He looks around the shop, "Everything looks..fancy here." "I shop here all the time, it's where I get most of my clothings! They're cute that's why," she laughs. "So then let's look around until you find something cute and I'll buy you it!" He smiles. "Really?! You'll buy something for me her eyes sparkles. He nods his head coolly.

The two walks around the shop looking at clothings. "Sanyu, do you want to buy anything for yourself as well?" She asks him. "Well..if I see anything that I like I'll buy it," he looks at the clothings. Suddenly Ayumi runs off to another section of the store, "WAHH THIS IS SO ADORABLE! I've never seen these here before!"

"We've just had them come here a week ago, they're cute aren't they?" The employee tells her. "It's CUTE! Look how small it is!" Ayumi laughs. Sanyu curiously follows Ayumi, "Did you find something you like?" She looks back at him, "Yeah! But I won't be buying it." He looks at what her eyes are pointed at and stutters, "B-B-Ba-Baby clothes?"

"Yeah, isn't it cute? It's so small!" She smiles as she holds the clothing up. "Are you two perhaps having a baby?" The employee laughs. Their eyes widens and looks at each other then at the employee, "NO!" Ayumi quickly drags Sanyu out the store. "Come again!" The employee says as they leave out the door.

Sanyu starts bursting out of laughter, "What an embarrassing scene we just had!" She smacks his back, "PRETEND IT NEVER HAPPENED!" He pulls her close to him, "Did you wanted to have a baby? I mean, it's not bad to have one." Ayumi pushes him away a bit, "We're in public quit the nonsense!" "So is that a yes?" He questions her seriously. "NO!!" She drags him and ran away quickly.

After awhile, Ayumi calmed down and was at ease again. Sanyu looks at her, "Are you thirsty? We ran for quite a while." "I'm tired," she lies down on the bench. " I'll be back," he leaves to grab a drink from a vending machine nearby.

"Oi, let's go check out that pretty lady there," a man says to his friend. "Damn she's a beauty! Haven't seen anyone as good looking as her! Let's go!" His friend says.

Ayumi takes her phone out to message her parents: Sanyu and I will come by to visit later on. "Hey pretty lady, got a boyfriend?" The man walks up on Ayumi. "My friend and I like you, you're such a beauty" the man's friend says. She ignores them and gets up. He grabs her arm, "Come with us, we'll take you to someplace special and fun."

Her traumatization flashes among her eyes, she begins having trouble to yell out Sanyu's name, "S..San..San.." "Hey man she's calling you Mister!" (San in Japanese refers to Mr.) The man's friend laughs. "I'm quite lucky aren't I?" He laughs as he pulls Ayumi closer to him. Her legs trembles in fear, the area surrounding her became quiet and she couldn't focus to stay calm but to only being afraid.

"Get your FILTHY hands off MY WIFE..." Sanyu angrily says before the man does anything else to her. Ayumi looks at Sanyu, "Help.." He can see that she was losing it due to her traumatization. "Oh..she she already has a husband, at this age?!" The man laughs. "Give her up!" The man's friend says to his friend. "Why!? Aren't you in with me??" The man says.

He gives a closer look at Sanyu, "T-that's...CEO M-M-Mira's son is it n-not?" The man looks at his friend after realizing, "Are we going to die? Will she know about this?! And how are you so sure that it's her son??!" "Dude..remember when we walked past by this luxurious place? We saw through the window that CEO Mira was hugging him and mouthing the words, 'My Handsome Son's Birthday !'" They both look at Sanyu, "We'll go away quietly so don't tell your mother alright?"

"I'm telling," Sanyu says as he grabs Ayumi and walks away. The two men runs up to Sanyu and begs on their knees, "Please don't tell your mother! We're sorry! We'll do anything you tell us to do!" Ayumi clings on Sanyu's arm and tries to calm herself down.

He looks down at them with a half smile, "Oho.. ANYTHING??" The two men looks at each other then back at Sanyu, "Yes, anything." Sanyu and Ayumi leaves the men and continues to enjoy their day together. The two men ends up bowing on their knees in public until they reached 100 bows.

After awhile later, Ayumi out of the blue asks Sanyu, "Do you...think time heals wounds?" He interlocks with her hand tighter, "I don't know, if time really does heal wounds..but I do know that when I'm with you, it's as if I forget all my wounds that I have."

"Excuse me if I'm being too personal, but has Sanyu ever been scarred like me?" She questions him. He thinks for awhile. Because he didn't say anything back, Ayumi thought she might've gone too far in asking questions, "Ah, sorry. I must've made you uncomfortable. Never mind the question."

"My father," Sanyu replies. She looks back at him, "Your father?"
