Volume 3 Chapter 5: The Father

After crying and screaming in restroom for a while, he come out from there and begin walking toward the room where they were sitting....

The Father walked back into the room with his self and his suit adjusted, but the edges of his eyes were still raw and red.

He sat on the velvet sofa, crossing his legs with the cold authority of a businessman.

He was trying to reclaim the room, but the words he heard from shin was still in his mind....

The Father: (I’ve had a moment to... normal myself.

Now, let’s get back to where we left.

You~who ever you are—you’ve caused enough chaos.

And as for the boy... he is my responsibility. You can leave now.)

Shin didn't move.

He was standing by the window, watching the frost crawl across the glass.

He turned his head—slowly this time, but his gaze was heavy.

Shin Whispered: (The Attitude is back.

But, something has been changed.

It looks like he have now learned how to be happy even after the loss of dying flower...

I hope they live like this always....)

Yui Akari stood by the unconscious boy, her eyes full of tears seeing her master back to normal

She could feel the shift in the room.

The Father was still pretending to be strong but this time he had something changed inside him and it was a hope for new life after the loss of dying flower.....

Yui Akari: (Master... I am very happy to see you normal again.

And also i want to introduce him to you....

His name is~~~~ .... wait~~~~ what is your name you didn't told us .....)

He saved the young master.

He doesn't have a home.

He doesn't even have memories. We only know this much.)

Shin asked: (Name? what is this thing? is it something we ate?)

Maid and the father both shouted: (W~~~what?))

Then maid suddenly remembered he had no memories so right now he is like newly born baby...

Suddenly a vision appeared again but this time it was vision of some man:

(.... said): (Hey, you know what?

I have surprise for you.

Do you know what it Is?)

Shin was small at that time, he looked at the man with innocence face and excitement and then nodded his head.

(... said): (The surprise is... from now on, your name will be Sugimoto Kimora. It's better, and easier to say, right? So from now on, I will call you that, it is from my favorite anime.....

But don't forget this would be your nickname so only those who you are close with can say nickname but for those who you just meet say your real name which is shin tomoko)

Like this, those two had fun sitting on the sofa, watching anime...

Vision disappeared again......

Maid said: (Name is what you kno~~~)

Suddenly, shin shouted: (Shin!!!)

Maid asked: (W~~What?)

Shin said: (My name, i have two names first one is shin....shin tomoko.... it was my real name

and second is the one who are closed to me only say sugimoto kimora... it was my nickname)

The Father: ( Second one sound weird so we will call you shin..)

Shin said: (Now i think i have to leave)

The father : (If you want hen you can go but before going...

Tell me your home address so i can repay for what you did)

Shin: (What? Home address? for now i don't have one because i was thinking to find some place to stay)

The father asked: (So you have no house right now

Then, do you have money to buy a house for you?)

Shin asked: (What is that? Money? I only have myself with me nothing more as you can see)

The Father’s jaw dropped, his phone slipping from his numb fingers and hitting the rug with a dull thud.

He looked at Shin—this stranger with the perfect face and the abyss-black eyes....

The Father's mouth stayed open, but no words came out.

He was just shocked by Shin’s words...

And then,

The father asked: (W~~What? Are you crazy? You don't have anything by yourself and you are saying you will buy a house without knowing you need money for that....)

Maid said: (You really are stupid~~)

The father said: (No, no i can't let you be by your self alone... you will live in this mansion for the time you feel like going out no in fact i feel like letting you go)

Seeing this reaction and worrying like he had before when his wife was alive maid smiled...

Suddnely. Shin walked toward the sofa.

he walked with heavy, silent steps.

He stopped right in front of the Father, looming over him.

Shin: (You told me to stay right...

So can i ask you?

.Are you gonna tell the creature—the son—that you are glad he is alive.

You are sitting on the sofa, this time your heart is looking changed so i guess you would walk again in garden.)

Shin reached out and touched the Father’s shoulder.

The Father flinched

,Shin’s touch was light—almost curious.

Shin: (Is this what 'Parents' do? They hide the soft part so deep that even their children can't find it?

If I am a human like you...

does that mean I have once also had small box hide inside me?

A place where I scream for a blue flower which I can't remember?)

He looked at the shin...

The Father: (You talk too much... and also i want to give you honest answer i think is right to say...

Seeing you, i always feel like you~~~You died a long time ago

I know you don't have memories of that but hear me out ...

"The once dead would never be alive" And this is true..)

Shin nodded his head and then said...

Shin: (I think you are right..)

The father said: ( You will stay at he room beside mine and if you want something ask without hesitation....)

Suddenly kid wakes up...

Kid: (Where am i?

And why the hell is father here

i think it is just a dream i mean why would father come and see me)

The father hearing his kid broked his heart

(I am sorry~~~ i am really sorry~~~)

and then father hugged the kid and begin aplogizing again and again...

Shin begin wondering what is going on....

Shin asked: (Excuse me.... can you tell me why you both are crying)

Shin stood there, staring at the Father with those abyssal eyes, waiting for a deeper explanation...

Yui Akari looked at her master and then suddenly.

Before Shin could ask any stupid question, Yui Akari stepped forward.

She didn't use magic or a weapon.

She simply reached out, grabbed the back of Shin’s shirt collar, and began dragging him toward the guest wing.

Yui Akari: (Now let's leave them alone shin...

Master needs to rest, and you need... you need a bath!)

Shin: (Wait...

Akari...

why are you pulling the me? Is this a traditional greeting? Is the dragging a way to show friendship?)

The Father and his kid crying and aplogizing to each other it was a beautiful moment after all after many years he finally saw kid as his son not some stupid boy...

Shin didn't resist. His feet skidded across the expensive rugs, his body limp as a doll while the maid dragged him down the hallway. He looked up at the ceiling lights passing by, his expression completely blank.

Shin Whispered: (So this is dragging

It feels... efficient.

I think I am beginning to understand Home now.

..It is a place where a girl in a white dress and a father make you feel like you are someone special....)

..............................................................................................................................

Scene shifted to the room where it all begin.....

(......) said: "So, the one who didn't even hesitated to reject me and then killed me like i was an insect with just~~~ i don't even want to say anything now....

I know he has no memories and this time i would make him fall in love with me...

Don't worry shin darling... because i am coming to you, the one you hated, when i will done here i would be in front of you."
