“Please, Hōjō, slow down.” Honestly, he was scaring her as she had never seen him this angry before. Despite what she told him, he seemed too furious to hear her. Truly, how could she have known that during their date, they would meet her high school crush after so many years? Kouga was a good man, but his possessiveness was too much for her to put up with him. They did go out when they were in high school and it seemed no matter what happened in the past, Kouga still believed she was his woman.And this declaration set her boyfriend off. She had known Hōjō when she entered university. Though she didn’t love him the way he wanted, they agreed to try and see if they were compatible first. Since she was quite comfortable with him, she agreed, and they had been going on dates for the past six months.
Her pleas fell on deaf ears, and the last thing she saw was a bright light and then nothing.
Maru’s cold nose on her arm brought her back to the present. Even after three years, she still couldn’t forget the accident that had turned her world upside down. After the accident, Hōjō, feeling guilty more than anything, stayed with her, but then, he eventually left after a year. Seeing her blind reminded him of a mistake he couldn’t take back, and it became too much for him. She could do nothing but let him go.
Her family was not happy as they saw it as his responsibility to stay by her side, but she pleaded them to understand that she didn’t want to become an obligation. Hōjō may have loved her, but that was not enough to make him stay. She didn’t want to force him to remain with her. Playing the guilt card was not her way of doing things. In the end, her family let her do what she wished.
Reaching forward to her no longer hot chocolate, she used the other hand to stroke Maru’s silky fur. The big, fluffy dog she adopted three days ago had his head on her lap while she sat on the sofa. Things had changed for the better ever since she brought him home. Though she had no yard for him to run around, they went for regular walks. Because of him, she became less lonely. Though she didn’t need a guide to move around, Maru seemed determined to stick beside her, something that often made her smile.
Ahh so thats how she became blind. That sad. But maru is a good puppy, waking her from her little nightmare.
