Chapter 446 - I promise you that (1/2)
The moment Hinari heard Sei's words, she looked at him and for the first time, she didn't feel the fear that used to feel when she was around him. She could see the sincerity in his eyes and with just that, Hinari could tell how much he cared for his little brother.
Somehow, the extreme pain in Hinari's heart seemed to slowly feel soothed. Knowing that Zaki needed her and that everyone was fighting for him made her smile despite the tears still rolling down occasionally from her eyes.
Now that she finally knew the truth, now that she finally knew what was really going on with Zaki, how could she ever leave him now?
”Future big brother-in-Iaw, please don't worry. Now that I know the truth, there's just no way I could leave him now, right? Even if he runs away again, even if he pushes me away again, from now on, I will cling to him without holding back. No matter what happens, I will stay beside him. I'll make sure I will marry him, so please give us your blessing.”
Hinari's eyes were brimming with an intense and unbreakable will. She looked like a devastated warrior who suddenly found new hope and was now ready to attack again at full force despite the tears still falling from her eyes, despite her wounds still bleeding heavily. The light of hope in her eyes was even brighter than anyone else and just by seeing her like this, Sei couldn't help but feel better.
”Good. We will support you the best way we can.” Sei then said as he glanced at his wife and Davi too smiled. She wiped Hinari's tears with her thumb and spoke to her.
”Mm. We are here for you Hinari. Don't worry, we will do the best we can to find something that can help him, I promise you that.” She said and Hinari embraced her tight again.
”Thank you. Thank you so much…”
…
It was nearly midnight when Hinari finally fully calmed herself down. She spent hours gathering her resolve and to stop herself from crying. She couldn't show Zaki how devastated she was so she tried her best to cheer up her mood.
Gladly, maybe because she no longer had any tears left to cry, Hinari was able to smile again. She went and cleared her thoughts in the garden and spent her time alone watching the dark sky, thinking about what she needed to do next from now on.
She decided to stay with Zaki no matter what kind of fate awaited her. She wouldn't give up on him again, ever. This time, she would give him her everything without reservation. She wanted to spend all her time with him even if it meant chasing after him forever. She wanted to give him hope, she wanted to give him all her love, her time, her attention, her everything. Even if the stars tried to stop her, she would not falter again.
'Beauty… you better prepare yourself. This is your fault for hiding things from me. If I'd known, you would have already been my husband for years now. From now on, I won't let anything, even you, stop my advancement. I will make you mine, I promise you that!'
As soon as Hinari made that promise within her, a smile slowly carved on face and she closed her eyes. She felt the cold night breeze touching her skin as if they were whispers rooting for her.
