"Ha, what have I done.."(Takuya)
Once I calm down.....I noticed that I made a huge mistake. Getting angry like that.. It was a huge mistake. Tsukihime is already busy enough and yet I pour more problems for her.. I’m an Idiot. I am too impulsive, why I can't keep my emotion in check? Instead of helping her, I bring more misfortune toward Tsukihime instead. For God sake... We can become allies and yet if only I put my grudge under the bridge. ARGH!!!!!! It was too late!!! ... Sigh forget it... Let's go home and rest..... Wait...where I am right now..?
Without noticing it I’m already in unknown place......Ah ..God why I am an Idiot...
"Takuya, what were you doing here?"(Nee-chan)
That voice!? I immediately turned around and found Nee-chan was still in her Teacher uniform...
"Nee-chan!!!"(Takuya)
"Ah, you must be walking around confused again...Sigh~~ What an Idiot brother."(Nee-chan)
....Sorry for being an Idiot....Still maybe consoling Nee-chan will give me some idea. After all she was an adult (maybe)...Surely she can help me from this predicament (maybe). Beside she will know it sooner or later....
"Nee-chan, can we have a chat for a moment?"(Takuya)
1 Hour later..
At an empty park.
"..Hmm, so that was happening. Takuya what are you hesitating for.. Go now."(Nee-chan)
"Huh?"(Takuya)
Nee-chan immediately smacked my head...as I rub my head in pain, I wonder just where my Sister get this strength...Shit!!! It really hurts.
" HUh MY ASS!! How long we have been Sister and Brother!! Obviously I noticed it...You want to save your mother don't you?"(Nee-chan)
"..No th-"(Takuya)
She hit me once again...
"You think I am an Idiot? Takuya for God sake.. You are too soft.. But you are not soft either... Get what I mean?"(Nee-chan)
"No..."(Takuya)
"......."(Nee-chan)
Nee-chan face palmed. She mumbled for a moment and then prepared to crack both of her fist..
"I am not that good with words and heard when people were on verge of death they will break their limit...that's why ...Let's break the limit of yours~~"(Nee-chan)
Hearing that I immediately run away. Nee-chan won't joke on this kind of matter...Still can you console me in a nice way? Once I run far enough I noticed Nee-chan didn't chase after me..Looks like she only plan to scare me..(Maybe). Soft huh....I stopped at the big bridge....and think it over...
"If they truly were stranger I won't be this vexed.. Tsukihime told me they come from a rich family...if they wish they can just threaten me or force me..but they go in roundabout way....Maybe I was indeed sold...but it wasn't like it was their fault...they were too young to stop my parents...in fact, if their Mother didn’t care about me she won't be like this...."(Takuya)
I am not an idiot.. I can see if they were lying or not.....But it wasn't like I was 100% right..
"No...Even if they were lying. They didn't have a reason to go this far..."(Takuya)
..........
"If she truly was on a verge death...and die because of me...wasn't it make me the same as them?"(Takuya)
There was many times people ask for my help. Majority of the time I help the person that I can trust. But it wasn't like I am a Saint...if that person deserve to die...then I will let him die.. Once I saw a delinquent that often bully people was involved in a gangster fight when He saw me and asked for my help. I will pretend to see nothing.. resulting him getting killed in the gangster fight...There’s many case I often turn a blind eye and I didn't regret it....after all they indeed deserve death...I’m no Saint. Majority of time I only help people that deserves help... because of this Nee-chan said I am soft at the same time not....
"Why I am hesitating then?"(Takuya)
I can easily save a person’s life just by seeing the person...Their family even go so far to beg me to save this person..Still...I held a grudge against this family.. I were sold by them...sold by them for money... Logically. There was no way I would save them. But..But..
"I just can't get this out of my head. Beside...if I help them...then Takuya Shifune will cease to exist....There’s no way I will sacrifice my own happiness for them.."(Takuya)
After thinking for a moment…I leave the bridge.
Narrator POV.
Main Central Hospital.
Midnight…
Certain room.
A beautiful woman around 40 was on a hospital bed...sitting yet her eyes was hollow and didn't have a trace of living from it.....she didn't even react to her own daughter who was holding her hand. The girl was crying....seeing her mother like this..
"Mother.. Onii-sama is alive...That's why, that's why..."(Lumina)
Yet no matter what Lumina said she didn't react and her eyes was still hollow. Seeing this Alya put his hand at Lumina’s shoulder...
"Lumina, let's try again tomorrow...For now let's return home okay?."(Alya)
"...Yes Brother…Mother I will come again tomorrow...."(Lumina)
Once Lumina said that, both of them exited the room and left their mother alone.....the room was guarded by 2 strong bodyguard everyday....But today...
Smack*Smack*smack* Smack*Smack*
They were put into good sleep.
Then soon someone entered the room and immediately go toward her and touch her hand. Seeing a stranger hand she give a glance...she saw a boy around 16-17 years old and was looking at her full of concern...
"Mother...."(Takuya)
She didn't react.....Seeing this Takuya knows it was not enough…her mother must be often tricked...She turn around and show his own birthmark...
"It's me Lux..I am the real one...."(Takuya)
Once he said that he immediately face her Mother again...seeing this ..Takuya closed his eyes...thinking..
"...It was useless…huh."(Takuya)
As he was losing over hope...Suddenly he felt something warm..
"My child!!!!! MY CHILD!!"(Takuya's Mother)
"Mother…Thank God......"(Takuya)
He noticed her mother was crying...
"Sorry…I am sorry. I am sorry Lux."(Takuya's Mother)
"Mother.."(Takuya)
Takuya immediately hug her back while at the same time felt relieved....
15 minutes later her mother calm down....But her tears wasn’t stopping…
"Lux…I-.."(Takuya's Mother)
"It's fine Mother…you aren't at fault...That's why please don't blame yourself."(Takuya)
"This isn’t a dream isn’t it? "(Takuya's Mother)
"Of course not Mother, I am not a dream......."(Takuya)
"Lux...I don't ask you to for-."(Takuya's Mother)
"It's okay. If you think it was your fault then I will forgive you...regardless of that...You are my Mother. "(Takuya)
Takuya smiled sincerely toward her Mother. But soon Takuya noticed the bodyguard was waking up. As expected he was holding back too much...He immediately opened the window...and prepared to escape…
"Mother, I can't return to the family…but we can meet again… Once you healthy we will meet again.."(Takuya)
"Lux!!!"(Takuya's Mother)
Takuya immediately jumped from the windows…as his mother's room was located at the first floor.. It was easy for him to escape.....
Takuya's POV.
Fuh, I am so tired...Really...why Mother's room was heavy guarded...Well...It wasn't that hard to get in…as I entered the house sneakily...
"Finally you’re back..."(Tsukihime)
"Wah!!!"(Takuya)
Tsukihime was waiting for me to get home, she already change to her pajamas...
"I will heat up the food...please wait in dining room."(Tsukihime)
"...Yes."(Takuya)
There’s no way I would reject her goodwill...now I felt guilty to make her wait...I immediately go to the dining room and wait over there. Tsukihime then arrives with 2 simple omelet. Wait why two?
"Let's eat okay?"(Tsukihime)
"..."(Takuya)
I felt so guilty...for not telling her. I hurriedly ate it...as I was really hungry...once we finished and return to living room. Tsukihime then ask.
"Takuya...You help your mother didn’t you?"(Tsukihime)
Busted. Well it was impossible to hide it from her. I will just be honest..
"Yes, sorry for not telling you…"(Takuya)
"It's fine, after all your kindness is what I like from you…So...Takuya…will you go back?"(Tsukihime)
"No, to begin with I only want to save Mother...So I only need to sneak toward her room. Well though part of me was relieved when she was cured because of me..."(Takuya)
Hearing my answer. Tsukihime immediately smiled. I will just be honest with her..
"Tsukihime to be honest, the reason I decided to help my mother was because of you.."(Takuya)
"Eh?"(Tsukihime)
She was surprised...
"You see, Alya and Lumina was your friend right? They are not bad people either…I don't want you to make enemies of them because of me. If not because of you...maybe I will just return home without helping my Mother. But you are important (friend) to me you are more important than my own grudge."(Takuya)
I scratched my cheek...as I was embarrassed. I just can't hide it from her after all she was waiting me until this late.. Tsukihime immediately stand up and then hug me from behind while I was sitting at the sofa....she then whisper to my ear...
"Takuya, really…how many times you want to make me fall in love with you again and again?"(Tsukihime)
....Wait...Did I just dig my own grave? Tsukihime then noticed me sweating immediately giggled...
"Let's sleep, if Lune noticed both of us weren't on her side she would cry..."(Tsukihime)
"..Ah okay.."(Takuya)
I will think it how to make her hate me next time....If she became more aggressive it would be bad for my mental defense...At this rate I would really fall in love to her...being pursued by amazing girl like Tsukihime (ignoring her stalking) was wearying my mental defense...Well though...In the end I like the way I am. Being an idiot made me happier anyway.
The next day..
Damn I’m lack of sleep...As I eat my breakfast sleepily...Tsukihime pass me coffee…Ah thanks...It was bitter though....I want to sleep...
"Now, now don't fall asleep. I promised you didn't I? I will bring you to sweet heaven right?"(Tsukihime)
Hearing that I immediately opened my eyes and woke myself up. Immediately finishing my breakfast...
"Daddy is such a Glutton~~"(Lune)
"Yes your Daddy is a glutton~~"(Tsukihime)
"Takuya…please don't shame us man like this!!! For a small matter like this…Damn you glutton!!!"(Kennosuke)
"That was unexpected though. Maybe I should call him Master glutton!!!"(Alina)
They keep saying glutton ...damn!!
"Don't bully me!!! I have feelings too you know.."(Takuya)
As all of them continue teasing me, someone ring the doorbell...
"I am going to check it.."(Alina)
The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Soon Alina return and then said..
"Master, there is someone that searching for you."(Alina)
"!"(Takuya)
Hearing that I immediately stand up..
"Let me go with you Takuya. Lune please stay here okay~~"(Tsukihime)
"Yes~~~"(Lune)
We then immediately go toward the guest room...But what waiting there was a surprise...It was my Mother on a wheelchair together with my siblings. Seeing this Tsukihime ...
"What a beautiful woman...."(Tsukihime)
I nod in my heart in agreement. No..
"Hey both of you...Why the hell you bring Mother here!!! She is still too weak. Do you want to kill her or anything? Mother let me escort you back to the hospital, I don't want you to hurt yourself because of this!!!"(Takuya)
I immediately go toward her side...seeing this both of my siblings become dumbfounded. Even Tsukihime become dumbfounded.
"Lux…I am fine...even though I can't walk for now..."(Takuya's Mother)
"Mother what are you saying?!!! It’s only a matter of time before you can stand up and walk normally. You two. What are you doing? Help Mother..."(Takuya)
How dare they bring her here knowing she was still unwell!!! I already cured Mother!!! Do they want to kill her?
"........"(Tsukiihime)
"......."(Lumina)
"........"(Alya)
"What!? Why all of you are silent...!? Can you see Mother still need some rest!?"(Takuya)
"Lux...please let me explain first.."(Takuya's mother)
"hah, Mother c'mon they were unreasonable!!! They were so heartless to bring you here!!!!!"(Takuya)
Narrator POV.
Hearing that Alya, didn’t know if he should laugh or cry...
"Didn't you yesterday just throw a grudge at us and said you don't care what happen to your Mother?"(Alya)
To be honest when Lumina and Alya were rejected yesterday they thought Takuya was heartless. But they can't blame him either. After all what they were doing was unforgivable...When they heard their Mother was attacked in the middle of the night....they immediately rushed toward their Mother and was crying in happiness....even though their Father come...She didn't care about him...even though father was putting strong front..they know that their Father was feeling dejected. Though Lumina felt a bit sorry, Alya felt it was too light....Regardless of that, Alya knows...It was takuya...no Lux his own little brother the one that saved her life..
He felt Takuya wasn't heartless...It was just....let's say it wasn't right for him just to help him them that easily. Alya didn't know the reason why Takuya help them...but he knows that he didn’t want to return to their family...rather he didn't want to abandon his life like now....
"Hur hur, can you at least try to lie...hur hur."(Takuya)
Takuya sneered at Alya, Alya who saw this rolled his eyes, making Lumina and Tsukihime laughed...Takuya's mother who saw this immediately smiled wrily and said..
"Lux, I heard from Lumina...you still hate us...for selling you...in one night there’s no way you mind would easily -"(Takuya's Mother)
"Mother, the reason I help you is because I want to help you…nothing else. Beside…It wasn't like I held grudge against all of you...It was FATHER fault not you...."(Takuya)
Takuya emphasized at the words Father.....
"Lux, I am sorry...I am really sorry.."(Takuya's Mother)
"Mother please stop, it-"(Takuya)
"That was true, Takuya suffered because all of you....You people were responsible for Takuya’s suffering all this time...he still held a grudge against all of you. But....he kept aside that grudge to save your life. The reason why he did it sneakily was because he didn't have any interest to become your family once more...."(Tsukihime)
Tsukihime pointed at all of them and glare at them while at the same time give me sign to shut up...Takuya's Mother who heard this immediately bow her head..
"I know we were wrong...and what we did was unforgivable. If you told us to begone...then we will go -.."(Takuya's Mother)
"Heh...If you felt into the same state again...you think that bastard Father will just let us go? No way right? Even if you repent...you will just put Takuya on a tightspot. To visit Takuya after the day of you being cured....it was Idiocy. If you met each other again...it’s just a matter of time before Takuya was found, and it will be the same even if you don't meet Takuya. Now have you realized the mistake you made?"(Tsukihime)
"Yes...I know…it...I know it very well...But I...I ...never done anything for Lux...no Takuya.. To call me Mother.....I want do something for Takuya...I want to repay him back...even if I failed to repay my Son’s own kindness..."(Takuya's mother)
"Mother.."(Lumina)
"....Mom."(Alya)
"You still can repay Takuya.. It just in a bit roundabout way.."(Tsukihime)
Hearing that Takuya’s Mother immediately face…her..
"..How?"(Takuya's mother)
"Play CZO and help me and Takuya. CZO is virtual reality game. Even If you meet Takuya there it won't be a problem. You can just treat it as another world."(Tsukihime)
What Tsukihime implied was "Since we can't meet in reality we can just meet in game after all the game can't be traced easily"...Takuya thankful for Tsukihime...after all even himself was worried about his own Mother...that way they can almost meet every day and be act like Mother and Son would...
"Thank you...Thank you for giving me chance.."(Takuya's Mother)
"It was normal, after all in the future you would be my Mother. That's why...can I call you Mother?"(Tsukihime)
Takuya who heard this begin to sweat…though in his heart..
"OH MY GOD!!!!!! THIS DAMN STALKER SUCCUBUS!!!!! Just how many safety measure you must put!!! Even if we break up year later I will suffer divine retribution from heaven!!!"(Takuya)
Takuya's Mother immediately went teary..
"Hiks...For my stupid Son to get a nice girlfriend.....really my Son was blessed...Alya...you should be ashamed to lose to your own younger Brother!!!Also...May I know your name?."(Takuya's Mother)
Alya who heard this didn’t know if he should laugh or cry...he was the oldest...yet he was bullied again and again..
"Mother, My name is Tsukihime.."(Tsukihime)
"Tsukihime...I beg you please don't leave this guy alone...I know how useless my Son is.."(Takuya's Mother)
"Don't worry Mother…I won't leave Takuya alone as long as he won't leave me.."(Tsukihime)
"No, No need to worry I will make sure Takuya will regret it if he can't take care you.."(Takuya's Mother)
Then Lumina joins the fray...
"Tsukihime can I call you Nee-sama?"(Lumina)
"Yes, little sis.."(Tsukihime)
"Nee-sama ~~~I will make sure you become the Nee-sama."(Lumina)
.....FUck....She immediately win over my mother and my sister too? Lumina held high regard toward Tsukihime...Mother like Tsukihime...She did this instantly.. Oh God tell me how can I go out with my first love at this rate...if you heard this please give me an Idea....then I noticed Alya look at me pitifully ...Ah I forgot...
"Alya big Brother..."(Takuya)
I give my hand toward him...When I said this everyone immediately look at me...
"Yesterday you promised me right...if I wIn you will give me...let's see..Gunpla, game, headphone...new headphone and all you can eat at sweet heaven!!!"(Takuya)
"..You!!Do you know any shame?"(Alya)
"Mother...big Brother already promised me…yet he break the promise.."(Takuya)
I look at my Mother pitifully, immediately Mother said..
"Alya!!!! You already made the promise with your own Brother yet you break it!!!! Don't you have any shame!!!"(Takuya's Mother)
"Wait...Mom let me explain..."(Alya)
"Give everything to Takuya in one week. If you can't then don't meet me again..."(Takuya's Mother)
"Lumina give me a hand please!"(Alya)
"You reap what you sow~~"(Lumina)
Everyone immediately laughed...Then soon someone opened the door...
"Mommy? Why you call me?"(Lune)
"...Wait Mommy?"(Takuya's Mother)
"Lune come here..."(Tsukihime)
Lune move toward Tsukihime ...then she said toward Lune...
"Introduce yourself to your Grandmother.."(Tsukihime)
"Yes~~"(Lune)
Lune then said..
"My name is Lune!! Nice to meet you Grandma!!"(Lune)
Hearing that Takuya's Mother said while crying..
"For my son to be like this...I have no more regret even if die!!!"(Takuya's Mother)
"Mother..."(Takuya)
Looks like because Tsukihime Mother already recovered a bit.. If she can walk. Then it would be perfect...is what Takuya thinks. While Takuya's mother playing around with Lune and talked with Tsukihime...Alya and Lumina give me sign that they want to talk…Takuya nodded and follow them...Once we were at hallway…Both of them bow at me..
"Takuya...I am truly grateful. For saving mother.."(Alya)
"...Onii-sama...Thank you.."(Lumina)
"I didn't do anything that deserve to be thanked for though...after all the reason I decided to help Mother was because Tsukihime."(Takuya)
"What do you mean by that."(Alya)
"...Well, honestly I was planning not to help...but...knowing Tsukihime. I just can't do it...after all both of you were her friends...though...at the same time I hope Mother can be Tsukihime Mother too. Because the same as me she lost her Mother’s affection early. I realized that if I put my grudge away it will made Tsukihime happier that way....that's why I decided to help your Mother...well..half of it was because I just can't let the person die because of me..."(Takuya)
"..Onii-sama.."(Lumina)
"Anyway. From now on we are siblings that's why there’s no need to be polite.."(Takuya)
"Yes!!!"(Lumina)
Alya then immediately put his arm around Takuya and then said
"Not bad bBother, then I won't be polite...so can you give me a discount regarding our promise..."(Alya)
"No way."(Takuya)
"C'mon!! I don't have enough money to do all of that!!!"(Alya)
"Still no.."(Takuya)
"Lumina help me!!!"(Alya)
"..Onii-sama, Brother real-"(Lumina)
"Lumina, today I want to go sweet heaven...well since you are not interested.."(Takuya)
"Brother please pay it full!!!"(Lumina)
"Let's left this guy alone Lumina~~~"(Takuya)
"Yes Onii-sama~~~"(Lumina)
"Wait!! You guys!!! Both of you don't be this heartless!!! Please don't hung me dry like this!!"(Alya)
But they ignored him and reenter the room...letting Alya alone..
"...If Takuya loves her deeply...then there was more reason for me to hide your existence from Father.. There was no way I can say that you have fiancé right? Sigh in the end I don't have courage to say it.."(Alya)
Once Alya sighed once more again..
"Well, Before I think about that...I should think how to make more money......."(Alya
All you can eat...It was goddamn expensive...Once he brings Lumina....he was nearly broke...now there was another mouth...Even he sells his body he would doubt it was enough..
