100 The get-well-soon cake
“Then what happened?”
-Like a curious kid listening to a night-story, Mitshua’s mother was completely following the rhythm that I set up.
“Of course, things that should happen between a lone boy and a lone girl happened. We started spending time together, talked a lot then just last week I couldn’t hold back my feelings for her and confessed to her. She was overjoyed and accepted me.”
“At first, she was not confident that her family would accept me but after assuring her many times she finally nodded. I promised her that I will become a successful person worthy of her and will only meet her parents when I achieve great success.”
“But Aunty, this young love is too deep and alluring…the moment I heard she was sick I couldn’t control myself from visiting her house.”
“Please forgive me!”
I hurriedly knelt down on my knees to ask for an apology.
Mitshua’s mom too got up from her chair.
There were small tear-drops already at the corners of her eyes.
With trembling hands, she lifted me up,
“El-Elandor was your name, you said, right?”
In a weeping tone, she spoke,
“My daughter had the greatest luck that she could meet a boy like you after being cheated by that bastard Shouta, I know she must have suffered a big emotional trauma.”
“When a girl has her heart broken for the first time, she needs someone to confide in. The pent-up frustration and injustice she suffered, needed to be released. She hid these things from me, if you had not helped her open up and heal her emotionally then who knows what would have happened to her.”
“So it should be me thanking you for staying by my daughter’s side when she was at her weakest.”
-wiping her eyes with her little fingers, she gently helped me stand-up.
The atmosphere became much more affectionate, by this discussion both of us seemed to be closer to each other.
“Aunty I should take the cake to Mitshua upstairs, she will be happy on seeing me.”
“Ye-Yes, I won’t come in between young lovers you can go up~”
Before heading to the stairways I dropped the final bomb,
“Aunty, actually… from the past 3-4 days Shouta has been pestering Mitshua to get together. He just wants to have sex with her but don’t worry, I will never let him come closer to Mitshua”
“…he may come to your house to tell some lies. Mitshua is naive and kind-hearted, there is a chance that she may be fooled.”
I stopped. I knew further words need not be said.
A dangerous glint flashed in the eyes of Mitshua’s mother.
She clenched her teeth and made a fist.
“Let that bastard Shouta come! If he dares to come here I will make sure to break his fkking legs! He needs to pay for breaking my daughter’s heart.”
Seeing the reaction I desired, I started heading towards Mitshua’s door.
The cake on me was really big, making it difficult to climb the stairs.
With careful steps, I finally reached my destination.
I slowly opened the door which was slightly opened.
Mitshua was fiddling with her mobile, looking again and again at the screen as if expecting someone’s reply~
“Ughhh, why is he not replying? I messaged Shouta in the afternoon that I am sick, he should come and visit me, after all, it’s a boyfriend’s duty!”
-Mitshua was in a grumpy mood.
‘Aah, Is our poor Mitshua expecting Shouta’s reply?…but Claire had already deleted her message from Shouta’s phone. I wonder, by what excuse had Claire taken Shouta’s phone?…let’s leave it for later.’
Sensing that someone has entered, Mitshua quickly kept the phone in her hand behind the pillow.
When she lifted her head and saw who it was, she bared her teeth.
“It’s you?”
“You treacherous villain, why are you here?”
Not minding her rude tone, I sat beside her and put the cake on the study-table adjacent to her bed.
“Of course, I am a kind hearted-guy that’s why I came to visit you.”
“Such a pretty girl like you is sick and no one visits her? That’s so unfair.”
“Even if I admit that I am a villain, I am a righteous villain with a big heart~”
“We already have shared a bloody kiss..perhaps, I can be considered someone even closer than those fake friends you have.”
“Don’t try to trick me.”
I did not care about her anger and sat closer beside her as I lifted the big box containing the cake that I had earlier kept on the study table.
“What’s in this big box?”
“Open and see for yourself?” -I gave her a sly wink.
pA(nD)A no ve1
“Did you trick my mom? There’s no way she would let a boy enter my room that easily.”
-Mitshua seemed to have regained her energy on seeing me as she all of a sudden became lively.
Maybe it was the boredom of staying alone in bed the entire day that when she found someone to talk to, she let her emotions flow even when the other party was Elandor, her current number one enemy.
“Hummmph”
“Yesss and Noo~”
“Remember? Yesterday she saw us kissing…”
“Had to give her an excuse.”
“…..so just told her I was your boyfriend and came to see you.”
“It’s natural for a boyfriend to visit his girlfriend when she is sick, so she easily let me in.”
I could hear Mitshua’s gnashing of teeth as her anger was boiling.
“Y-You told her that you are my boyfriend?”
“She will now tell dad…you know you did a fkkkinh….”
I interrupted her cursing as I put the box right on her lap.
“Okay, okay other things are not important.”
“Your tongue must be tired because of drinking milk and eating that bland food for the sick.”
“Just hurry and open it.”
“Hummmmph”, Mitshua exclaimed but her hands still moved as she opened the big box that was on her lap.
“W-what?”
-Mitshua was flabbergasted.
