85 The moment I heard you cursing

"am i a third person?" rie turns to kiyohira beside her, slightly leaning on him and raising her chin toward him. he puts his arm around her waist to support her. she's doing her best to stop her body from trembling in fear, but kiyohira can feel it. tensed and sweaty, rie smiles at him. "kiyohira, when did you fall for me?"

he didn't expect that she would ask that question. when did he fall for her? all the moments between them have been intense and heart shaking. when did his heart move for the first time? 

"the moment i heard you cursing my father and my stepmother at their funeral." his voice is neither low nor high. rie gapes at him dumbly. chisa also furrows her brows. the guests don't know what to make of it. both husband and wife are abnormal. takeshi rubs his forehead and walks to the side. his brother couldn't think of a more romantic moment to speak on the day of the wedding. seriously who talks about a funeral at the wedding? kamiyama kiyohira does. 

but kiyohira is being honest. that was the first time. he had never seen a daring woman like her. she said what was in her mind. there was no doubt that she was wronged. she didn't have fear. she complained to the people who owed her. though she did infuriate him that day, he is glad that her curse was pretty ineffective. he is kamiyama shintaro's son after all.

"that was before the engagement." rie maintains her calm with difficulty. "i guess that this idiot man still got engaged to you. still, i will let you have your way to offer some peace for your wronged heart. i am the third person. your fiance abandoned you and came to me. by the way, if you were capable of moving his heart, he wouldn't have looked for the third person."

chisa releases a breath, looking at her with a dangerous glint in her eyes. rie is shamelessly accepting her blames, but turning it around in a way that she's the one who is affected. now, people are looking at them both, thinking there must be a reason if kiyohira left her for rie. who would leave chisa if there was no flaw in her? she's still an abandoned woman.

"rie chan, you are right. men easily fall for other women. the loser is the woman who loves him genuinely." chisa smiles at her contemptuously. "i heard that you lost your child in that accident when he was still engaged to me. i pray that something like that does not happen to you again."

kiyohira and rie didn't think that she would mention it blatantly on their wedding. rie's body turns cold as the memories from that night resurface in her mind. seeing her face turn ghastly pale, he supports her, helping her stay still. rie clenches her teeth to not give in to her fears. he looks at chisa with a dark gaze, ready to burn her alive right at that moment. if rie hasn't been leaning on him for support, he would have shown her hell right away.

seeing the promises that he made to her when their eyes meet, chisa smirks at him. there is no reason to pretend. she knows that her facade is long broken in front of him. he will never look at her the same. 

"once again, i congratulate you for the union of your love. may you find happiness in your future."

she walks out of the wedding hall proudly, excited after seeing rie's reaction. his little toy is not completely gone. there is still some hope. she will play with both of them gladly and see what they can do. it's a declaration of war.

after she is gone, rie closes her eyes. she fists her hands. her father rushes to her. "this is not good. we have to take her out of here."

kiyohira ignores the eyes of everyone and carries her out of the place. her father also gets on the car. her father injects her with medication. rie falls into a deeper sleep. her breathing and temperature become even.

"nobody knew about the loss of the child other than us." her father stares at kiyohira, "is that the woman who hurt my daughter?"

kiyohira doesn't answer him. he watches rie's face. there are creases on her forehead. he smoothens them out one by one. "will she ever get over this?"

her father sighs tiredly. "only if she wants to."

only if she wants to. when one is too used to suffering, they won't hold the light even if they are offered. the last two years without memories cannot take away 26 years of solitude and pain. she has been through too much. what does she want to do now? what should he do to offer peace to her heart? she's his priority. nothing else matters when it comes to her.
