“Yamada-kun,
have you ever like someone before?” Takaki asked as Yamada leaned his back on
his body.
Yamada shook his
head then lifted his head to look at Takaki, “You’re first” he smiled.
“I love you
Yamada” he said. Simultaneously he leaned closer to the younger boy and let
their lips meet.
Takaki
immediately shot up from his bed. He was all sweaty and anxious,
“Yamada” he murmured, panting. He took a deep breath then
exhale it out, “I dream about him again”. Since the day he met with Yusuke,
Yamada always came to his dream. He admit himself that he really missed Yamada
but he never met him after the camping few years back.
“Yusuke-kun~”
Takaki called out as he arrived at Inoo’s apartment.
Yusuke appeared
and ran to Takaki. He was glad to see him and that same goes to Yusuke. He was
always there for Yusuke, until the little boy grown up, able to walk and talk.
But he still hasn’t recognize it.
“How’s your
school going?” Takaki asked already carrying the boy.
Yusuke didn’t
answer, instead “Who is she?” he asked in a soft voice then hugged Takaki’s
neck tightly when he saw a girl behind, for the first time.
Takaki chuckled.
Should he tell Yusuke about that? “That’s my girlfriend, say hi to her” said
Takaki but Yusuke refused as he hide his face at Takaki’s neck.
“Hey” Inoo
appeared, greeted both Takaki and Mika. “Spending some times for Yusuke again?”
asked Inoo. He already knew but then he asked Takaki purposely.
“Kind of” Takaki
nodded and smiled.
“Yusuke-kun”
said Inoo as he approached the boy in Takaki’s arms “I’m going to work first”.
Yusuke just
stared at Inoo with his round eyes and blinked after that,
“Going where?”
he asked cutely.
“Hospital” Inoo
answered then ruffled Yusuke’s hair, “Take care of yourself” with that he left
the couple and Yusuke in his apartment.
“What Yusuke
have here?” said Takaki as he walked over a small table while holding hand with
his son.
“Homework” he
said, pouting. “And it’s composition” he told Takaki again, and this time he
frowned.
“What is it
about?”.
Yusuke didn’t
answer. He just looked down and sad.
Takaki then
knelt down, anxious and asked, “Yusuke?”.
“Yusuke miss
mama”.
Takaki went
silent for a few moment then spoke, “So it’s about Yusuke’s mama?” Takaki asked
again and the boy nodded.
Mika was there.
She was sitting on the sofa, waiting for her boyfriend.
Takaki told her
that he always paid a visit at Inoo’s apartment or Daiki’s and met Yusuke’s
there. Thinking about it, she had a bad feeling about this.
“So, it’s like
this. How to describe Yusuke’s mama. Starting from her name or personality for
example?” Takaki tried to help as Yusuke already sat on his lap.
“Uhm. Yusuke
never met mama. Yusuke never talked to mama” he answered. Takaki nodded and
rather sad when he heard that, “But Yusuke has mama’s photo. Mama is cute too,
like Yusuke” he grinned.
“Can I see
mama’s photo?” Takaki requested. The little boy stood up then ran to his
bedroom.
“Yuya, how long
are we going to stay here?” Mika asked boringly.
“I don’t want to
leave him alone”.
“He won’t go out
anywhere right? So it’s fine. Let’s go home”.
“No Mi-“ his sentence
was cut by another person.
“What are you
doing here??” the guy asked angrily.
“Daiki, you
co-“.
“Get out!” Daiki
suddenly yelled.
“What’s wrong
with you? We just came here and-“.
“I don’t want to
see a murder face here! I don’t want her to lay a hand on Yusuke!”.
Mika widened her
eyes. She didn’t expect what to come but she can absorb on what Daiki meant.
“What are you joking about? Who do you call murderer?” she pretended in front
of Takaki.
“What is this
all about??” Takaki puzzled.
Soon Yusuke came
out from his room and show his mother photo to Takaki.
“Is… this”
Takaki widened his eyes. He was actually looking at Yamada’s picture.
“W-Who’s this?”
Takaki asked, disbelief and his hands already shaking.
“Papa Inoo said
he is Yusuke’s mama. Yusuke’s mama died when Yusuke born” he said innocently.
“Th-This can’t
be” his face wetted by his tears, “Daiki! Who is he?!” Takaki suddenly shouted
and pointed his finger at Yusuke. Simultaneously, Yusuke shocked and crying.
Daiki quickly ran and hugged him.
“He’s your son
and Yama-“.
“You’re lying.
He is a guy Daiki! How can he be-“
“It’s possible!”
“H-How.. What..
He was carryi-“
“Yes Takaki! He
was carrying Yusuke since the camping. You didn’t see it!”.
“Then why he
hide this from me!?!?!“.
“Because he
thought… He thought you’re already happy with Mika!”.
“Then where is
he now?!” Takaki shouted, impatience.
“He died! He
died because of Mika! She almost killed your baby and she killed Yamada!”
“No… No” Takaki
shook his head and palmed his face then fell his knee on the floor.
“Accept the fact
Takaki. It all happened behind you! But you didn’t even care. He was alone
Takaki. He was disowned by his family after they knew about his pregnancy then
he lived with Inoo. He quited school and sacrificed himself just to see his
baby grow. He wanted to give up, he really wanted to give up but thanks to Inoo
he didn’t. He even talked about you, he was happy and smiling, telling us about
his dream, his dream wanted to be with you again and his baby, together Takaki,
as a family, but he couldn’t because of Mika, Mika is everything to you!”.
“No! Stop it!”
Takaki yelled as he closed both of his ears, “I don’t want to-“
Takaki was now
crying. Feeling his world crashed. He really can’t describe how he felt that
time, knowing Yusuke was his son. From the first time they met, he felt close
with the little boy, playing with him and obeyed with what he said. He felt
really guilty and he kept blaming himself, on everything, for leaving Yamada.
Takaki then stood up aimlessly then glared at Mika. He
rushed towards her and gripped Mika on the neck, “What did you do to him!?”.
“Takaki stop!”
Daiki shouted at him, “It’s no use to ask her! Yamada won’t come back. He won’t
come back” Daiki cried.
