Extra Kazumi Ch 2: A Mother's Love

2015 January 21 - 09.00 P.M - Home.

My daughter is dead, they announced her dead on the spot, when the paramedics reached the school, it was already too late, she fell head first to the ground head first, so there was no chance for her to survive.

After hearing that my heart was scarred, I was always holed up in my room, I never thought she was suffering more than me.

"Oi, where's my coffee? Since that useless girl is dead, you're taking her position as my personal ‘assistant’, now go make me some coffee!"

"If you want some coffee go make it yourself"

"HUH, WHAT DID YOU SAY!"

"N...nothing... I'll make some coffee right away"

"That"s what I like to hear"

That's right, he was one of the cause, the man I call my husband, he was one of the cause of her suicide.

2015 January 21 - 09.15 P.M - Home.

I walked up to my room to give the coffee to him, but as i opened the door, he was already fast asleep on the bed, then I thought, maybe I should just kill him, right here & now, then at least one of the problem will disappear, but it was too late, Hisako is already dead, and nothing can bring her back to life.

I was tired, I just wanted to sleep. I went to sleep on the floor, because the thought of sleeping on the same bed as him makes me sick.

'God please give her back to me, give me one more chance'

2015 January 22 - 04.05 A.M - Front of my house.

The sound of the doorbell ringing woke me up, 'who would be visiting us at 4 in the morning.

"Hey, Kazu, go open the door!"

"Heh! But I..."

"GO AND OPEN THE DOOR!"

"Y...yes"

I walked to the door of my room, as I reached the door, my body froze, it was holding me back again, but this time it was different, the one that was ringing the doorbell felt familiar. I was too scared to find out, my body couldn't move

"Just go and open the damn door will ya!"

"....."

"God dammit you're useless"

He pushed me away and opened the door, he walked downstairs to open the door, I stayed in the room because I didn't want to know who it was.

"Who the hell is ringing the freaking doorbell!, dammit, what the hell do you wa..."

"You.... why are you here, you’re supposed to be dead"

It was weird why would he be surprised, and what did he mean by 'you're supposed to be dead'.

"What’s wrong dear?" I had to act like his wife, in case it was someone we know

"It’s not possible, you were dead, you had no pulse, your body was cold like a corpse”

What does he mean by that, who's dead, Hisako? I walked down to find out, then....

"Honey what's wro….., Hisako, b..b..but how?"

"She won’t let me die, so i can't die"

"She?  Who are you talking about? And what do you mean you can't die?"

"....."

I don't know what she meant by that, but I didn't care, and for some reason she looked like she couldn't tell me about it.

"Anyway, it’s cold outside, come on, get in, I’ll make you some warm drink, you don't have to talk about it if you don't want to"

"Thank you"

After I gave her something to drink she took a shower and went to sleep.

2015 January 22 - 05.00 A.M - Home.

I had to make sure Hisako doesn't suffer again.

"What the hell are you doing? Why'd you let her in?"

I need to make sure he doesn't do anything to her again.

"Oi, are you listening to me?"

"Hey honey, I've been thinking, maybe from now on you should stay in your friend's house or a hotel"

"Wha... are you kicking me out!?"

"I have proof of your violence towards us, I can report it to the police if you don't do what i say!"

"Uh... THE HELL WITH THAT! I'M GONNA KILL YOU BITCH!"

before he could get close to me, i pulled out a knife I took earlier from the kitchen, I pointed it at him and threatened him

"If the police can't help me, then I'll take care of it myself"

And just like that he was shivering, he only said ok and then left.

2015 January 22 - 08.00 A.M - Home.

While I was making breakfast for Hisako, the phone rang, I picked it up, it was a call from the hospital.

‘We are truly sorry for this’

“What happened?”

‘Your daughter’s body is missing from our morgue, when we checked this morning it was already gone, but there were no sign of forced break in, we are doing our best to investigate this, so please…..’

Hearing that, I knew something happened to my daughter, she was different, something changed her, but I didn't care what it was, I was just happy she was back with me.

“There’s no need to do that”

‘Uh… but your daughter…’

“Is alive and right here with me”

‘But she was announced dead’

“She came to me this morning, she was still alive and well”

‘But that’s impossible, she had multiple shattered bone, some of her vital organ was destroyed, and her brain was...’

“That’s enough!!! My daughter is alive, healthy, and she’s with me now, don’t make things more complicated than it is”

‘But you should at least have her che...’

I closed the phone. I'm not going to let them take her away from me again.

I looked to my right, and hisako was there, did she heard that?

“Uh… Hisako, were you listening to that?”

She nodded her head

“I’m sorry you had to hear that”

“Don’t worry mom, I’m fine... "

"Tha...that's good to hear"

"Hmm... mom"

“yes?”

“I’m gonna start school again next week”

I was surprised when I heard that, one of her friend told me she was being bullies at school, why would she want to go to school again.

“Are you sure? Why don’t you just rest for a while”

“Don’t worry mom, it’s fine”

“If that’s what you want, then... then I’ll tell the school about it”

“Thanks”

I had no choice but to let her.

I'm just happy she's back with me.

happy? Was i happy, or did I just see her as a way to atone for my sins.
