Red Yarn (Oshi No Ko > Aqua X Kana)

Screenplay Film (5)

The cafe Aqua chose near her agency was empty, only a few tables were filled. The coffee orders Aqua and Akino bought did not need to wait long. Sitting in the corner of the room was the best place for Aqua.

Aqua's relationship with Kana is not good, there is hope to be able to make up with Kana through her father. And Aqua hoped that she could contact Kana again.

"How's Kana doing?" aqua asked after they sat down. There was a sense of worry in Aqua's tone.

"It has improved, Karma is still at home so can look after Kana for two days." Akino answered casually and smiled. "I heard from Kana the story, you want to tell it from you?"

"I'm wrong, I don't appreciate his kindness."

Akino laughed softly. "When Kana told me that she forced you and felt guilty for you too. He also said that if you're going to need a martial arts teacher, then Karma has to help you."

Aqua belied in disbelief, thinking that Cana would curse her before her father. Given Kana, the type of human who is very happy to criticize others. But, it turns out the opposite. Maybe Kana is an adult, Aqua thought.

"Can Karma help me?" asked Aqua doubtfully.

"Of course you can, Karma always got martial arts training since childhood. So, he'll help you. No need to bother, okay!" Akino grabbed his coffee cup. "May I ask you something, Aqua?"

The smile on Akino's face faded slowly. Akino reaches into his pants pocket, pulls out his wallet and takes the photo card Kana gave to him by Miyako before going to the cafe, he shows it to Aqua.

"I wasn't a good father to Kana, left her to her mother and it turned out that she had to fight until adolescence alone." Akino stared at the photo of Kana. "But, how to put a smile this wide back on his face? I took this because it's the prettiest sincere smile I've ever seen from Kana. But, I never saw him." Akino tried to hold tightness in her chest.

Given since childhood, Akino has never acted like the father he should have. Plus Kana who since childhood has been busy with filming films, advertisements, photo magazines and singing. Akino loses her moment with Kana.

Aqua observed the photo of Kana as well. Kana was always smiling, but it was like there was a wound she was hiding. A sincere smile, a swear sentence and everything he did to cover up and protect himself. 

"I'm sure the trauma is still there and will recur if there is a trigger. But, Kana seemed to close herself keeping her distance from me and Karma. Like there's something he's hiding from me." Akino let out a loud breath. "I'm a bad father, maybe I'm not the one who can take his heart. Even though I know what he's hiding."

"Why just trying to look strong, so I know for knowing him." Aqua commented. "But, he told me that he was happy living in the village with his father and sister." Aqua continued. "I think he just needs time to open up."

Akino looked at the photo of Kana again. "I'm afraid she's unhappy because I asked her to stay with me. He lives in the village and not in the city. Remembering Kana's mother always made Kana to look like a famous artist from her clothes to her life."

"Relax sensei, Kana has already let go of that and wants to live forever in the village." Aqua smiled.

Akino stroked Aqua's head gently, smiling faintly towards Aqua. "I'm stupid to say that Kana cut the red thread with you."

Aqua was speechless digesting Akino's sentence. "Be-nang red?" ask Aqua.

Akino laughed softly as she ruffled Aqua's hair. "Not to think about my words. Let's tell you about you..."

...*****...

Miyako waited for Aqua in her room anxiously. He was still thinking about Arima Akino. All the puzzles he had in his head had to be answered immediately or he would explode alone.

If Arima Akino is Arima Kana's father, then why did Aqua know Arima Akino well. How did they meet, then how did Akino find out that his son was dead?

After nearly an hour of Miyako thinking alone, Aqua finally walked into her room. He approached the cardboard that Akino was carrying. A smile rose on Aqua's face as she opened the cardboard, looking at the contents filled with snacks, some side dishes and concocted drinks made by the village mothers.

"Aqua!" Miyako stood before Aqua. "He's the father of Cana?"

Aqua stopped her movements. "Yes." Yeah."

"How did you meet him?" ask Miyako in wonder.

"In the village as I was rehearsing for a new drama, I met him. Ishigami-san also knows Arima-sensei well." Aqua again took out some snacks from the cardboard.

"Did she know Kana was dead?" ask Miyako again.

"Have known."

Miyako massaged his forehead. "Why did you bring him here? You remember Kana's mother, right?"

"Sensei is not that kind of person. So, don't make the conclusion she's just like Kana's mom."

"I'm just worried. It's been almost three years since Kana's death" Miyako replies, sitting on the sofa recalling Kana's mother who suddenly came and wanted to ask for Kana's death insurance.

"It's just shared the rest, I've taken what I want." Aqua stepped with her hands full of food, at the door she stopped. "You don't have to worry. Arima-sensei is really a good person. He also loved Kana."

Miyako stared at Aqua's smiling face wide before she disappeared behind the door. The call to Cana of Aqua is no longer Arima but Cana. Miyako knows how Aqua was close to Kana, although close, Aqua's call only continues with her last name. Realizing something that he finds awkward, Miyako grabs his phone to contact Ishigami.

...*****...

Were it not for Cana's rant and whining of Karma plus Akino's firm request, Karma would not have been willing to teach Aqua. His college schedule was already congested, he was also looking for part-time work and was now giving Aqua special classes.

"You're with your sister?" tanya Karma glanced at Ruby who was standing beside Aqua.

"He was also required to be able to martial arts. In the film later he played my brother who is good at fighting as well" explained Aqua.

"Yes, let's just get started. Before, it is good to warm up first. Because you've rented a special training ground upstairs, so it'll be nice without anyone else's interruption." Karma stepped onto the second floor followed by Ruby and Aqua. "Especially your sister, I would never take my sister to the gym even if she whined or kowtowed at me."

Ruby looked at the wide back of Karma in front of her. "Why? There are also many girls coming."

"Many men are striped noses!" karma without looking at Ruby. "I also don't like a lot of eyes looking at my sister's body wearing tight sportswear."

"Basic siscon!" peekut Aqua.

"When you're the same siscon even worse than me!" ledek Karma's. "My sister said, I'm not like you.." Karma glanced at Aqua beside him with a withered face.

Aqua's legs immediately floated to Karma's butt hard, her hands hitting Karma's head until a loud enough sound was heard. While Karma only replied to Aqua with his laughter.

They change clothes after a light warm-up. Karma looked at Ruby who was only wearing a sports bra and black leggings. While Aqua was still busy warming up.

"Wear this or I won't teach you." Karma thrusts her oversized T-shirt at Ruby.

"But…"

"This is new. I haven't worn it yet, it's my intention to wear it for a change of clothes. But looking at you who never seems to have martial arts training, so you're just wearing it." Karma steps away from Ruby.

Aqua stood in front of Karma. "Don't you know how long he's been picking out his gym clothes now?"

"Do I care?" ask Karma back. "You know martial arts, right? Karate is not an ordinary movement. Wearing clothes like that will only look at all parts of his body."

Ruby stands before Karma to begin the exercise in a Karma-giving dress. He immediately put it on and did a light warm-up.

The training begins with the horses. Some of the movements hit and kick strongly but also beautifully.  The intelligent Aqua, she easily follows Karma. So is Ruby who is very good at dancing, so for them movements like Karma are not too difficult. 

Karma and Aqua started fighting. Karma took off her glasses so as not to break or break. Ruby observes Aqua and Karma. Several times Ruby was only festering on the sweaty face of Karma, her eyes sharp with a piercing look that turned out when smiling could curve beautifully.

...****************...

"You're going straight home?" aqua asked as they exited the gym.

Karma straightened the position of her glasses. "Yes, I have night classes."

"I'll return your shirt at the next meeting." Ruby looked at Karma beside Aqua.

"Don't worry, I have a lot of other clothes." Karma pulled the bag over her shoulder. "Yes, I go first." Karma stepped up leaving the two twins very quickly.

Aqua looked at Ruby who was still observing the departure of Karma. "Tomorrow to wear covered clothes only. The one you bought yesterday, used when you went out with your girlfriends."

"Why? Are you also disturbed?" ruby asked as she approached Aqua, she wrapped her hand around Aqua's right arm.

"I'm not, but it seems like Karma is very disturbed."

"Is there a reason why he's disturbed? Does he have any thoughts mes*m?" ask Ruby again.

"Not so, her sister Karma was almost harassed. So, there's a chance Karma is keeping the women around her from fading like her sister."

"really? I don't know." Ruby said worriedly. "I feel guilty."

"It's okay, you just don't know her yet." Aqua calming.
