Chapter 14 Ex-husband

Ex-husband

After relaxing for a while, the bell rang.

I had a lot of visitors today.

Is it Father?

If it was him, he wouldn’t have had to hide the bell several times. That means it must be a guest.

I went to the front door.

When I opened the door … there was a man I didn’t recognize, a young man in his twenties. … Who is this person?

“Is this Oshima-san’s house?”

“Huh … yes, but who are you?”

“I’m Mizuta Riku. Rumi’s ex-husband.”

“Yeah. …?!”

Hey hey, are you serious?

Why is he showing up now?

I mean, how does he know where I live?

“No wonder you’re surprised. Sorry for barging in so suddenly.”

“Sorry, but why are you here?”

“I heard Rumi was here.”

“Who told you?”

“Senjo-kun.”

“What? …”

That Senjo. He told Rumi’s ex-husband where she was. What an idiot.

“I’m sorry, but can you return Rumi back to me?”

“What! … Wait, wait. I thought you and Rumi were divorced.”

“We did get divorced. I dated a woman under the assumption that we would get married. But after a year, she dumped me. And I suddenly remembered Rumi, and I wanted to … repair my relationship with her.”

Dumped!

And then you tried to get back together … with Rumi? Idiot, that’s too selfish.

“You’re the one who dumped Rumi. Of course, that’s not possible.”

“… It’s true. But I still love Rumi.”

What is he talking about, this lunatic?

“Sorry, but Rumi is mine. Please leave!”

“No, I heard … that you and Rumi are just brother and sister. You’re not dating, right?”

Damn! That Senjo said something unnecessary.

But I still won’t let Rumi go.

I’m going to take a firm stance here.

“Yes. We’re brother and sister and we’re dating. I love Rumi too!”

As I yelled out what I was thinking, Rumi ran out of the living room to see what was going on.

“Hey, hey, Hayato-kun … What’s going on?! Eh? No way!”

Rumi was surprised to see Mizuta at the front door.

“Rumi! It’s me, me! It’s Mizuta Riku!”

“Riku-kun … why are you here?!”

“I’m here to pick you up, Rumi. Let’s start over!”

Mizuta begged desperately, but Rumi shook her head. Yes, that’s my girl.

“… I’m sorry. I can’t be with you anymore.”

“Rumi! Why!!!”

“I love Hayato-kun!”

“…!”

“Besides, you dumped me. … Why did you choose another woman!”

“That, that’s …”

Mizuta couldn’t hide his anger. This was final. There was absolutely no chance for this man to get back together with her.

I didn’t miss this chance and held Rumi’s hand.

“Rumi…”

“Yes, Hayato-kun.”

As if to show Mizuta, I hugged Rumi. And then I kissed her.

“…So, … like that! Shit, oh nooooooo!!!”

Mizuta turned and ran away. He really is a loser.

I hope he won’t come back.

I didn’t expect Rumi’s ex-husband to show up, but now he knows how much Rumi and I love each other.
