LOVE AND SELFISHNESS

PART 6'S

"Where's the father? Why call all of a sudden?"

"I'm near your school gate, son."

"OK, dad. Kayo will be there soon." Reply Kayo while turning off her phone.

"Yagami, I go first."

"OK."

Kayo walks towards the school gate followed by Yagami and Erika.

"Go home, yuk!" take Yagami to Erika.

From 2 meters away, Erika saw Kayo talking to someone. But they faced each other, so only Kayo's body was visible from behind. And when Erika and Yagami were about to cross the street, the person Kayo spoke to, called out his name. Until he stopped his steps. The voice was no stranger to him.

"Erika?" Call the person in a tone as if asking. Erika turned around and was very surprised as her eyes caught the figure of the person who had left her with her mother for the sake of another woman. He just silently looked at the person with a sour face. Kayo watched their faces in turn.

"D-dad?" erika's eyes glared almost unblinkingly at the man. His heart was so sore that his tears seemed to be trying to break down to get out. But he held it for his pride. The man smiled at Erika.

"How are you? Healthy? Yagami knew Erika? I miss you so much, son," he said again without any feelings of guilt.

"Hello, um. Yes we know each other," Yagami replied with a smile.

"What is this dad? You guys know each other?" asked Kayo in a curious tone.

"Let's explain at home."

"I hate you!" erika said it made the man unable to say anything more. His face was implying sadness.

Without another word, Erika immediately ran across the street without looking back.

"Erika, wait!" call Yagami from behind.

Yagami immediately ran after Erika and caught her hand and pulled the poor girl into her arms. Yagami's hand stroked Erika's head so that she felt comfortable and warm there. Yagami is the only man other than yanh's father who manages to hug him. Strangely again, he did not give a hand to escape from the embrace.

Kayo watched them behind the rearview mirror of her father's car.

"What the hell, they," he said.

"Cry if you want to cry. I will protect you from the sight of others. By crying, your heart will be calm and relieved. And by rebuking, the burden you feel will be lessened," said Yagami in a soft and gentle voice hugging tightly the black-spirited girl. His breathing was clearly heard in Erika's ears. Then Erika immediately put her face on Yagami's chest with the intention of hiding from the sight of people passing by around them. Without feeling it, her tears flowed profusely. Yagami hugged her so much that her uniform was wet from Erika's tears.

"You know, he's my dad. The man who left me with my mother. He's so mean, Yagami. Wuaaaa, I hate him. He doesn't even feel guilty. He even said he missed, but why never visit me with mom. He's lying, isn't he? Traitorous.wuaaaa," cried Erika with her sobs.

"Yes, I know you're patient, yes. I will always be there for you" said Yagami. So Erika immediately released herself from her embrace. He turned around wiping the remaining tears on his delicate face.

"Thank you, yeah. I'm better now. Let's go home!" ask Erika to look at Yagami replacing her crying with a smile. The pupils of Yagami's eyes grew bigger looking at the smile on that cute face. Then he pinched the smooth cheek of the girl in front of him with both hands.

"Well, that's dong. You are more graceful when you smile and I always like it" said Yagami with her eyes glaring at Erika's face. Again he made the selfish girl's heart beat fast with a blushing face. While Yagami smiled.

"I hope only I can see your sweet smile" Yagami teased.

"What the fuck, anyway. Who are you, who am I? Neither does the boyfriend," replied Erika with her tsunderenya nature still does not acknowledge her feelings.

"Girlfriend candidate as well as prospective life partner," teased Yagami again while winking. His left eyebrow is raised.

Erika was shocked and turned around without saying a word and walked away from Yagami. What comes to his mind when Yagami mentions a life companion is his fear of the same things that have happened to his mother, the ends of the impact on his son, namely himself.

"Hey, wait. I promise I won't be the same as your father" said Yagami who realized what was on the selfish girl's mind. So Erika stopped her steps and turned to look at Yagami.

"Are you an alien? Why do you know my mind?" Erika asked crossed both hands on her chest. Yagami.

"Hahaha, aliens? Yes, I'm an alien, the thief of your heart" Yagami replied with words that once again tempted Erika.

Erika realizes that Yagami is teasing her. His nature returned again. He soon realized that what he had done had crossed the line and was unnatural by talking and crying in the arms of men like Yagami. The bully who always follows him. He immediately turned around and hurried to leave Yagami for his home.

"Erika, wait. I'm sorry if I'm wrong" Yagami said, but Erika did not return her words at all and kept going.

"His nature must have crumbled again," muttered Yagami letting the girl he loved keep walking leaving himself behind.

Arriving in front of their respective homes, Yagami stared for a moment at the adoration of his heart until he entered the house. He sighed and walked into his lonely house.

"What should I do to make him believe and accept me?"

Erika headed straight to her private room. She was shocked by what she had seen all day and was trying to tell her mother that she had met her father. However, he still keeps his mother's feelings so as not to hurt anymore. He felt very guilty about his mother. But on the other hand, he feels right because it protects him from past memories of the man who had hurt and abandoned him.

"It is still appropriate that I call him father to the man who abandoned his wife and child for the sake of another woman? I hate him so much." Erika's inner whimper. He threw himself on the bed and slept in a school uniform until morning.

"Dad, why do you know Erika? He also called by the name of father.what do not-don't, father, he was....," asked Kayo with curiosity and annoyance. His father just nodded slowly.

"Yes, she's also the biological daughter of a different mother's father."

"What's? So dad cheated? I won't accept him as my brother!" kayo snapped in an annoyed tone.

"No, but I cheated on your mother. He seduced me and asked me to drink until you were impregnated" Kayo's father bowed his head.

"Tau ah. I'm tired. Go to the room first."

Kayo was very upset to know the truth. Plus, Yagami is her childhood friend close to her stepbrother Erika.

"Ah, I forgot to ask for Erika's phone number. Hehe, it's a good thing that I got a picture of her from Mika," Yagami muttered as she stared at Erika's photo on her phone with a smile and blushing. In the photo Erika is sitting in the classroom looking out the window while propping up her chin.

Day before...

"Mika, can I ask you a favor?" greet Yagami in front of Erika and Mika's classroom hallway. Mika was going to the toilet.

"Yagami? Why are you in front of our class?"

"Ssttt, don't fuss, I just want to have you take a picture of Erika for a moment, and send it to me."

"Huh? Hohoho, so you're stalking him huh? Um...."

"Hehe, that's. So, please yeah. I don't want to bother him now."

"Ready, boss..By the way, I'm going, what's your phone number?"

"Here, I've written on a piece of paper." Yagami held out a paper with his mobile number.

"Okay, I'll send it to you."

"Thank you."

"Hehe, I've really fallen in love with her," muttered Yagami still with her blushing face.

Early in the morning, Erika's mother's voice filled the entire house calling out her name.

"Erika, Erica...Erika. Awake, Son. There's a friend of yours in front waiting from earlier."

"Yes, Mom. I'll wake up soon. A few minutes away," Erika retorted back to pull the blanket over her body, then got up again and immediately headed for the bathroom.

After changing his clothes, he went to the dining table and took a loaf of bread with chocolate jam on it while biting it out of the house. In front, Yagami was waiting and leaning on his big red motorbike while crossing both hands. Erika as usual looked at him with a flat face.

"Well, you're in front of my house?" it's with jutek.

"Fetch you."

"Huh? Get me? Wh-wh-what for? I can walk myself to school."

"Gosh, a lot more. Hurry up! If our walk will be late," replied Yagami winked at the motorcycle seat sign asking Erika to go up immediately. Because the remaining fifteen minutes of school entrance time, without thinking about it anymore, Erika immediately climbed into the Yagami motorcycle seat. Think about saving energy on the way to school.

"After school, all eyes were on them. Erika immediately got off the motorcycle seat and headed for the classroom. And it turns out that there is already Kayo with a slender body and brownish black hair left to decompose. His fingers took turns to play his phone. Erika headed straight for the seat without caring about it. Kayo headed towards Erika who had just placed the book in the drawer and the bag with a sour face.

"Hey, Erika, after school for a while, I'd like to have a one-on-one talk with you, would you?" kayo said crossing both hands in front of Erika's table.

Erika looked at him irritatedly. "Why? Anything important? I don't want to waste my time on the vague, "Erika replied while preparing the writing equipment for the first subject.

"This is very important, after school just wait for me on the roof of the school. Don't worry, I've also asked permission from the school. It's about Yagami."

Erika started to feel something was wrong. To Erika, Kayo's words just now were like a declaration of war to her. But he was ready by all means to deal with it.

In the ladies' room...

"Hey, kayo, you've been taken by the loner, cook you lose. You are beautiful" said the Yagami fan girls.

"Just calm down, I have my own plan."

"I won't lose to that girl, especially if she steals my attention too, you can't, tch, Yagami is just mine" Kayo muttered looking at herself in the bathroom mirror.
