The Ugly Duckling's

84

Yama drives her car after making sure her son enters the school gate. It was not without reason that Yama gave Ichi that warning, in a month he was called to school at least 5 times. Ichiro is a very intelligent child, he will feel bored listening to the teacher's rambling explanation so that Ichi becomes a ignorant child.

Sarah doesn't know all about the incident, as often as Yama is facing the Headmaster. Of course they just silently trembled at the look in Yama's eyes, not even the Principal dared to say anything. It was Ichiro's class teacher who often chatted with Yama, she looked graceful and beautiful.

His stature was very meek, his eyes would sparkle when he saw Yama coming to pick up Ichi. Several times Ichi made trouble when he saw the teacher trying to seduce Yama. Like today after school, Yama came as usual to pick up Ichiro.

"Good afternoon Mr. Ito" said the teacher.

Yama returned the girl's smile, Yama's face softened before her. Ichiro is so upset at his father's smile that he kicks Yama's shins hard. Yama turned his head down with a sharp gaze, but it did not make Ichiro tremble at all.

The teacher named Ayumi knelt down and spoke softly to Ichiro, she advised Ichiro well. Yama looked at the girl with a hard to interpret gaze, Ichiro realized the meaning of his father's gaze. Today Ayumi was about to tell about Ichiro's mischief in class, she asked Yama for lunch time to meet him at a cafe.

Yama agrees to Ayumi's request, she rushes to drive Ichiro home. Yama does not have lunch at home, he reasoned that he would meet with a client. Before arriving home, Yama first silences the child's mouth.

"Well, I'll talk to Ayumi's teacher about your mischief. I hope you don't tell your mother, or she'll be disappointed in your behavior at school." Yama had indirectly threatened Ichiro.

At this moment Ichiro's feelings were extremely uncomfortable, his mind was in a state of disarray. He didn't want to make her sad. Ichiro is determined to be a good boy, minimizing the time to meet Ayumi with her father.

Sarah was not able to pick up her own child because she was still in college, she also took an embroidery art course. The activity is a little solid. A gentle swipe at Ichiro's head disperse his daydream, Ichiro looks up to see who caressed him. Hana caresses dear Ichiro.

"What's the matter, darling, from now on?"

"Did that man really love Mama?'

"The man who made me exist in this world!" Ichiro growled in annoyance given the father who never called his name.

"Ichiro-chan, Yama is your father. You have to respect it." Hana realizes that it started with Yama who never called her son properly.

"Why is he eating with Ayumi's mom?"

"Who? Your daddy?" Hana confirmed and answered the nod by Ichiro. Hana was a little shocked to hear Ichiro's statement. The Yakuza world is full of women but if it hurts Sarah, Hana will not stay silent.

Ichiro then tells about his problem at school, before he hooked his little finger with Hana. "Obaa-chan promised not to say yes." Hana nodded in agreement.

"Ichi used to beat up friends at school."

"Why?"

"They like to bother Mayumi! Ichi likes Mayumi." The boy played both fingers. Hana became anxious to see the behavior of her granddaughter.

"It's great, Ichi has become a hero donk if that."

"But Ayumi's mad, she hit Ichi."

"So, Ayumi likes to punish Ichi?" Ichiro nodded.
