Very Painful Feelings
section 13
Three years later
"I didn't expect the restaurant we built to be this famous" said a person who sat while stirring coffee
"Yes... I didn't expect it either" said the man in glasses
"It's all thanks to our struggle and hard work"
The three chefs were none other than Himiko and two other people who had jumped into the sea with her named Mega and Shina. Mega and Shina are Mega's older sisters three years older than Shina and Himiko, Since that incident Mega, Shina, and Himiko have become very familiar and quite close.
Mega and Shina are the children of Indonesian and Japanese crossbreeds, and they intend to return to Japan to follow their father after his mother dies. The restaurant, which is open twenty-four hours, is always crowded.
"Sir Mega Sunday tomorrow I don't leave yes" said Himiko
"Usually you don't go in every Sunday?" mega
"Gue's not in either" Shina
"Where are you going Shin?" ask Himiko to Shina
"That's a big deal? I'm also tired, need a break" said Shina who left Mega and Himiko
"Shina where are you going njer?" ask Himiko
"The jeret! pegel all my bodies" Shina said
And the next day Himiko walked towards her house, it was not a big and luxurious house but a traditional, still decent house that Himiko bought with her own hard work
Arriving at his house Himiko immediately clean up from bathing, shampooing, wearing traditional Japanese clothes, sweeping the floor, mopping the floor, sweeping the yard, mowing the lawn, watering flowers. In her spare time, Himiko chooses to read a book written by her best friend Triana.
Himiko had chosen to settle in Japan at the time and had no intention of returning to Indonesia
Every Thursday afternoon he visits the graves of his father and aunt. He went to Japan to look for clues but Himiko still hasn't found anything
"Excuse me"
Himiko who was relaxing while reading the book looked outside
Himiko went outside
"Is there anything I can help you with?" ask Himiko
"sister Himiko, right?" ask the unknown woman
"Yes I'm Himiko, what's wrong?" ask Himiko
"There's something I want to talk about" said the woman softly
"Well, please come in" Himiko said
Himiko presented the drink in front of the woman
"Please" said Himiko taking off her glasses
"This is Himiko's sister... My name is Rina, I come from Okinawa" said Rina
"Then what do you need to come here?" ask Himiko quietly and curiously
Rina explained what her goal was
The flash back
I have a grandfather, he is very thoughtful, considerate, loving, and quite close to me
But one day my grandfather got sick, my father and mother took him to the hospital
After that grandfather recovered, and returned to his usual activities, he loved gardening
A week later Grandpa gave me a box...
Grandfather forbade me to open the box, he also advised me that it would not fall into the hands of others who could actually open it
I asked who could open it
Then grandpa said he was Akabane Himiko
Grandpa never told me what it was
Because grandfather himself did not know what it was
Grandpa also said that the box was from Aiko's aunt before she died
Grandpa and Aunt Aiko's relationship is very close... They have no blood relation but they are like a real father and son
Flash back off
Himiko who heard that was silent and quite shocked.Then the person named Rina put the box in front of Himiko
"Rina... I say thank you very much, and also your grandfather. Because you guys have taken care of what Aunt Aiko gave you" Himiko
Lina just nodded her head
"How can I repay you my thanks?" ask Himiko confused
"Ah that's nothing Himiko, I'm very happy to be able to keep that precious box. I am also very happy to be able to convey it directly to Himiko's sister" Rina said very kindly
"That's it... If you want you can come to the flavor restaurant" said Himiko who gave the address of the restaurant she built with Mega and Shina
Rina asks for the address given by Himiko
"For you geratis. Especially for you, if you want to come always" Himiko said
"thank you so much, sister Himiko, so I'll excuse you first" said Rina who got up from her seat
"Are you going home? Then let me drive you" Himiko said
Himiko escorted Rina to the station until Rina boarded the train, after which Himiko returned to her home. That night Himiko opened what the box contained.
And in the box itself contained a large envelope containing a letter
...To the beloved Himiko ...
...Himiko-kun, how are you? You're no longer a whiny, are you? You are a man, must be strong in the face of all problems ...
...Himiko, your aunt once told you that your aunt would tell you a big secret, right? ...
...Through this letter Aiko's aunt will explain all the great secrets that Himiko did not know ...
...At first aunt wanted to tell you directly... ...
...But you know for yourself, right? ...
...Little Himiko is always busy......
...He is still busy as well....
...But any busy Himiko who is cool will definitely take her time for something important ...
...On the sidelines of his busy life which is considered very important by others who see it, there are far more important things that are not known by those who see it ...
...Is it Himiko? ...
...Ahhhh you must not understand, aunt is also confused to explain how to ...
...Alright... ...
...Part l...
...Auntie will ask who your family is? ...
...Surely you would say that your family is, Akabane Ryu your father, Nanaha Himeko your mother, Nanaha Kai your first brother, Nanaha Ken your second brother and you...
...That's kind......
...Akabane Ryu is your own father... While Nanaha Himeko is not your mother ...
...Your real mother is Akabene Nara...
...Said she died after giving birth to you... ...
...But the news is not true... Your mother died from being killed by Nanaha Himeko, your stepmother ...
...Even the detectives or the police are unable to solve the case because Nanaha Himeko is too smart ...
...At that time Nanaha Himeko was a very beautiful widow, yes she was a quite popular and talented artist ...
...Nanaha Himeko fell in love with your father Akabane Ryu who was then a great success...
...Your stepmother loved your father... ...
...Love for treasure... ...
...After your mother was killed in a pretty sneaky way ...
...Nanaha Himeko teased your father who was deeply saddened by the death of your mother Akabane Nara...
...Your father fell in love with Himeko and then got married...
...But before long your father fell ill when you were six... ...
...Aunt who was taking care of your father and you... ...
...You know your mother was never home... ...
...He always goes abroad to take care of his projects... ...
...Your father had many diseases... ...
...complications... ...
...He's complications... And it's very difficult to heal ...
...Your mother Himeko never took her to the hospital ...
...He always told you that I would be healed... ...
...All of Akabane Ryu's possessions are held by Himeko... ...
...I can what? ...
...I was just a weak person back then... ...
...I apologize Himiko... ...
...Forgive your aunt... ...
...Your aunt can't save your father or your mother... ...
...Even you... ...
...You must be asking me where I know all this... ...
...From the beginning your aunt has been very suspicious of Nanaha Himeko. ...
...I always watch and watch his movements when he's home...
...Inside is a recording...
...All of that is real evidence without the engineering that auntie got... ...
Then Himiko held her head, she felt very dizzy after reading the letter.She was eager to cry but Himiko kept trying to be strong and tough in the face of all things.
On the next page Himiko sees a photo of her father with her birth mother who was holding Himiko as an infant. The photo was taken by Aiko's aunt after Himiko was born
