Carefully Keiko took off the ring on her finger, then handed the thing to Andrew. He let out a long sigh, staring blankly at the sparkle of a diamond that shimmered like a star with, as if his mind was wandering somewhere very far away.
“What is this?” asked Andrew when he saw no sign Keiko would say anything.
Keiko blinked slowly and replied, “Ring. Given by my father some time ago.”
He held out the object in his hand towards Andrew, observing the astonished look on the man's face while commenting on the faint smile. Even with such a frown, Andrew Roux still looked handsome.
Keiko's eyes softened. Under the dim light of the lamp, the silhouette of Andrew's body before him looked unreal, as if they had been in a different dimension at a time ....
The girl moved her hand to press against his chest. The leaflets in his heart grew louder .. The more the day grew irregular, each time he looked at the man's face .. he seemed to be washed away and reluctant to turn his gaze away.
There was a longing he could not express. There was a feeling he could not explain.
Keiko gulped with difficulty, as if a lump of cotton stuck in her throat made her feel uncomfortable. This feeling ... he really did not understand ....
“What's up? You sick?” asked Andrew when he saw the look on Keiko's face that seemed to be holding back the pain, the girl's forehead wrinkled deeply while staring blankly at a point that was visible to the eye.
Keiko's eyelids shook slowly. The plump eyelashes move gracefully as those round eyes blink again. Slowly the fine lines on his forehead thinned. His eyebrows that were originally linked finally relaxed again.
The girl looked straight at Andrew and asked back, “What are you talking about ... reincarnation, is it true?”
Andrew was quite surprised by the sudden diversion of the subject. He was fixated for a moment, returning Keiko's gaze that looked a little different than usual. There was a trace of doubt reflected from within those pair of beautiful eyes, as well as a hint of ambiguous look.
Andrew clasped the diamond ring in his hand tightly before finally answering, “Ya. You are my wife, I mean .. in our previous life we were husband and wife. I love you so much, so I pray and ask that we be reunited in the next life. The rest ... you know for yourself how it goes ...”
“Does that mean now you love me?”
“Ya,” replied Andrew without the slightest hesitation. He knew very well that he loved the girl in front of him, even since they had not met.
The diplomatic answer was enough to shock Keiko. Suddenly he remembered Hiro's words stating that Andrew liked him. Really so? Was the man's liking not due to his obsession about things related to reincarnation, as he had expressed some time ago?
Despite acting as though he ignored her, these thoughts have always haunted Keiko since Andrew revealed the problem of reincarnation at that time.
“Are you sure? It's possible that you're interested because my face is similar to that of your wife in the past. What if I'm not him? What if this was just a coincidence? Isn't that unfair to me?” scowl Keiko without blinking.
Andrew's lips were pulled upwards. The smile seemed to emerge from the bottom of his soul. Even his eyes that always looked serious and sharp now seemed to glow, trapping anyone who saw it, bewitching with its alluring charm and charisma.
“Of course I know clearly who you are, Baby .. There can be no mistake, not a coincidence, and not just a facial resemblance. You are him. I don't doubt it.”
Once again Keiko frowned when she heard Andrew's call for her just now. As he recalled, Andrew had used the same call when they were at the Zeotrope.
At that time, he was not so aware of it. He thought it was just an original and idle call. However, now that he heard it clearly, it felt a little different.
Baby ....
“Then ... why can't I remember you?” ask the girl in a slightly hoarse voice. He blinked quickly to dispel the dew that had gathered in his eyes and made the face of the man in front of him blur.
The smile on Andrew's face grew wider, even the glint in his eyes turned into dazzling twinkles as well as secret ones.
“That's because I was guilty of you in the past. It's okay, in this way ... I can make up for my overwhelming mistake,” the man replied lightly, “Even if you don't love me in this life, it's still worth it ... I won't regret it at all.”
Keiko. He really did not understand the way the man in front of him thought. A little absurd and absurd.
If he doesn't mind if his love is unrequited, then why would he be willing to risk everything just for me? Or, could it be that all this is just nonsense? What if he's one of those who's after power? Deliberately approached and made me believe it, then stabbed in the back ....
Thinking of the possibility made Keiko suddenly annoyed. He got up quickly and was about to grab back the ring in Andrew's grasp. However, the man who had just observed all his movements carefully was more nimble. He held Keiko's fingers in his hands, along with the diamond ring that was still there.
“Why? Suddenly changed my mind and didn't propose to me?” his god with his eyes glittered with jokes.
Keiko glares. “By your head!” he was upset, trying to pull his hand out of Andrew's check.
Instead of being angry, the man chuckled softly and said, “Suddenly you thrust a ring at me, then asked if I love you, shouldn't you ask me if I'm willing to marry you?”
“You ... you ... absolutely ...”
“Tight?”
Keiko snorted and exclaimed, “Can be serious a little not?”
“I'm serious, Baby.”
“....”
Keiko was so annoyed that she ran out of words. He swerved with tiny lips that opened and closed several times.
Surprisingly, his face flushed red with anger that even more adorable look in Andrew's eyes, making him want to embrace and****** lips ran out of it. However, watching the girl who was about to explode in annoyance, Andrew finally let go of the tiny hand from his grasp.
"good. I'm not kidding anymore" Andrew said, staring at the sparkling diamond ring. In an instant his facial expression became solemn, the witty gleam in his eyes disappeared, replaced with a calm expression as usual.
“Say, what's with this ring?” tanyanya pointed at the object that was still in her grasp.
“Not your business! Restore!” jolt Keiko who is still a little angry, “Who knows that you will use it to harm me?”
Andrew was stunned to hear the words of the girl before him. His blazing clear eyes suddenly dimmed.
In a low voice that resembled a murmur of sadness, the man said, “While my hands and feet are cut off even though, I will never harm you. You are my life. If I have to die protecting you, then I will do it willingly.”
The words spoken by Andrew again stunned Keiko. For some reason, he could always be misbehaved and become stupid by the man. Totally helpless. He did not want to believe Andrew's words that seemed full of nonsense, but in fact .. his heart was warm ....
