Chapter 196: Reunion

I think I understood what happened with the little I managed to see, Menhera had visited our home, surely to join us all having breakfast together. She showed up at a good time, since my sister Maya asked her to take me to her house, she didn't want her little brother, who had just arrived, to get involved in even more trouble after all the problems that had happened to him.

Before I could leave I deduced the following, I see that my mother wants Maya and Gen to get along well, that's why she put him in a dead end, I take advantage and take me with her to the living room, this so that he is busy and doesn't have to come here. Leaving those two alone and start a conversation that arises little by little.

And his footsteps from so long ago were like a fuse, that little by little they were approaching a burst, I think I heard him a little, as he increased the speed of his footsteps until at the end he became silent. Before I left I noticed that Gen was watching his game on the TV in the dining room, he should have taken control and changed it even though my sister was watching, that attitude even to me seems childish and spoiled, even if you think about if that person is watching that program, I would be very angry if it was with the excuse of "it's my TV, I pay for it, it's my house, here you do what I want and how I want, here I am the one who has more power". ....Just thinking that it was like that really makes my blood boil, where is your equality, you fucking bastard, don't believe so much.

With those assumptions I closed the door of the house, while Menhera looked at the situation with sorrow, saying in her head that again it will happen.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We go back now years ago, I was about 12 years old and my sister about 22 years old, I was months away from finishing Sixth Grade, while my sister had already left her rebellious stage she had, better known at that time as Priya, she was already preparing to be able to enter the police, she had exercised, fed well, studied hard, everything to give a good mental and physical exam, everything to be able to intern and in the years to come out a whole officer. I don't know why it didn't seem strange to me why my sister had decided all that.

My parents had already separated, my mother ended up staying with me, while my sister stayed with my father, I still didn't understand any of this, all this seemed normal to me at the time, since I didn't feel it as a separation, since at the weekend I went with my father.

But a few months after my parents separated, my mother gave me and my sister the news that she wanted us to meet a very special person, according to her, because I was quiet at the time. She said that this person was going to invite us to a very well known pizzeria, I was happy because I was going to be able to eat for free, and on top of that, it was delicious. But my sister took it more thinking things through.

"So fast already? ..... Why don't you wait a little longer to meet someone else, Mother?

My sister back then when she was younger, she was overcoming her problems by seeing and making the best decisions to no longer harm others, especially my parents. That because of Priya is who she left them hurting the most, she saw and thought better of every situation, no matter if it had nothing to do with her, she would look for a better solution in her own way to make things work out. And this was the case, she didn't think it was right that my mother soon after separating, already walking around meeting other people, the answer to my sister's question was.

『Isn't it better, if things go fast? *smiles*』-『I want to forget everything before, I could no longer ..... I need to get over it as soon as possible, I want to forget every problem』.

My mother was saying it with her chest, her heart about to break, we were in that small apartment, I was watching TV, I wasn't interested in the topic they were talking about, I just wanted to distract myself in a way. My sister was in doubt, sweating from the head, and after thinking about it better, she took my mother's hand and gave her all her support, that she has the right to rebuild her life if she wants to, even more sense if it was our father who caused it.

My mother was happy with her daughter's acceptance, she felt that everything can go forward after the problems they had before. Without further ado, my mother hugged Maya with strength and affection, while my sister consoled her and told her that everything will be all right, that she will get ahead in one way or another, that if or if she passes her exams she will become an officer to help her family.

They looked aside both women, they saw that Yashiro was in front of them looking at them, he was like wanting to cry because he also wanted a hug, where without further ado my sister took me with her arm and I could also receive this affection from the women I love most in the world, family love is a very special feeling.

Finally the day arrived, it was the year 2022, the separation of my parents was the month of August, right now the month is October. It was a quiet night, you could already feel how the summer was leaving and we were entering autumn, the wind was blowing and it was cold, so we wrapped up warm, after getting off the train, we decided to walk instead of taking a cab, my family always does this to have more time together and talk, I always went in the middle when we went out as a family, I held the hands of my sister and mother, but somehow I always walked in the back, I always walked behind anyone who went. When my sister saw me walking looking at the ground, I walked like that because I thought I might find a coin and keep it, it happened to me many times so I always looked at the ground to see if I was lucky.

Without further ado, my sister lifted me up and put me on top of her, I got scared and lost my balance, I was trembling because I thought I might fall.

『You should stop this ambit of walking behind people, it seems that you minimize yourself, walk next to your friends, look ahead without fear, and as you are still a child, you can give yourself little luxuries like these, look, apoco that it is fun to walk without fear of anything』.

My sister talked to me with confidence and affection, from one moment to another I no longer felt that I lost my balance, my sister held me well so that I can't fall, I also took confidence and held on. I had already experienced it before, but it is still very incredible, this way you feel bigger, you can see more things and your gaze is always in front as it should be. I was always surprised with this simple action of being held, it brought out that inner child in me. As my sister said, it's a luxury that only the little ones can have and enjoy. Or are you going to tell me that you still do that when you grow up? I see that and it would be weird to me, besides all the innocence goes away when they get older, when you hold a child it's very tender, if you hold someone older the thought that comes to me is that they are a pervert or they like to be embarrassed.

UJUM! Back to the topic, it's cool to be carried when you are a kid, it makes you feel like you are big and powerful, but since my family is small, I didn't feel like that (;'∀｀).

We finally arrived at the pizzeria, we opened the door and it was half full, I had already got off my sister to enter, quickly a thick voice and a big hand was making itself known. It was Gen who was energetically waving from a table.

『They're here』

We all sat down together, my sister and I while our mother with that guy. We quickly introduced ourselves and greeted each other, I think it goes without saying that it was our mother who initiated the conversation.

"This is Gen-san, he is the man I told you about before』.

『Much pleasure, it's a pleasure to meet you, Maya-san, Yashiro-san』.

Gen was dressed for the occasion, I don't think I've ever seen him so dressed up before, he wasn't in a modern suit or anything, he was dressed for the occasion, his voice was thick and he wore glasses, he showed us his hand so we could greet him.

『Good to meet you, my name is Maya, and this is my little brother Yashiro』.

『Aahahaha, I guess it was manners, but you're right』.

The conversation had already started and everything seemed to be going well at first, my mother as always was the one who had to start the conversation so it wouldn't die down, she was the one who talked the most and brought up topics, if you're with her for sure she will always be flooding you with conversations, it's like she doesn't like silence. The pizza had already arrived, I was ignoring everything, but no doubt when I could smell the pizza smell, it was the only thing on my mind.

『And Gen-san, I heard that you started out as a laborer and have gradually worked your way up』.

My sister was heading to Gen-san, where Gen-san was serving some sodas to go with the meal.

『That's right, I was a worker, but the Company, Industry or Organization that hired us gave us an offer that we would do on our own, all their projects for the future, also with the possibility that if we accepted, we would go ascending more, leaving from being simple workers to be leaders and to be able to hire another group of workers with the same method!!!! It's great this, since our Organization is one of the biggest in the Country, although of course, the more I ascend the more responsibilities I have besides brute force, they give me private lessons on how to be able to handle the problems that appear to me, right now, if I make an effort a few more years, I will end up having the same skills as an engineer, who would believe that I could be one at my age HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAJAJAJAJA』.

Gen was chatting in a calm way and even like telling us that it was the best opportunity of his life, because if it hadn't been like that, for sure he would still be a laborer under the sunlight. I was eating my pizza and putting toppings on it that there was, while my sister asked him to stop for a while, as she was having a hard time thinking that such a thing happened.

『Wait a minute Gen-san, everything you told.... is a little hard to believe, really with all this, you went from being a laborer to having the same skills and knowledge as a graduated engineer?』

My sister was processing everything in her head so as not to be shocked by this guy's reality, you could see her eyes spinning around because she couldn't comprehend this. While Gen-san was happy.

『That's right!!!

Leaving behind that weird story of Gen-san, let's leave it that he's just been leveling up like in a game and now he's almost at the top UJUM! Everything seemed to be going well, although my sister started to notice something weird between this man and our mother, they were closer than they looked, this made her weird since Nyoka said they knew each other recently.

"Don't you think they are a bit affectionate? Could they tell me how they met』.

Before Gen put his arm on our mother, slowly this one avoided him so as not to look so obvious, but pitifully it was already starting to get suspicious. In the end he didn't, perhaps out of respect that he is in front of Nyoka's children, my mother quickly to my sister's question, told her how they saw each other, that when she was in a difficult stage, she met Gen and supported him when he needed it the most. Referring that when my parents separated and my mother didn't have much, that was what my sister understood, and the rest, as if it was a story, with time and what he did for her, they ended up falling in love with each other, telling her not to worry anymore, that he will do everything he can to help her and help his children. He wanted this too, since Gen had never married or had children, but she had a relationship years before but it ended because of him. Having a family at his age was what this man longed for the most.

"Well, that's a nice story, and could you tell me what your first partner was like?

My sister just blurted out that question, where the good atmosphere that there was, turned to a more serious and rough one, it was not a topic of conversation to be taken in a good way, moreover, not even ask that kind of things in these situations, my mother was worried and nervous, where Gen made a request to the waiter and he would say no problem, he would tell how was that person.

My sister asked that question since she wanted to test him, that if he is really a person who can be trusted, who is a person worthy of being with his mother, who at those times, Maya came to Nyoka as an exemplary mother.

『I'll tell you, after all that's in the past, what matters now is the present』. -『When I was in high school, and in college before I dropped out, I had a partner, she was a skinny girl, if you touched it you felt like it could fall apart, she was tender and cute, even though she had restrictions from her family, she was rebellious so to speak, I found it very daring of her, she was fun and funny, you always had something to talk about, she treated you with affection and love.....and because of me our relationship ended...I never forgave myself for what I had lost』.

Gen was telling her past when she had her first partner, she was telling it with affection and every word came from the heart, it was very different from the attitude of pure laughter from before, I was still eating pizzas while looking at my surroundings to see if anything interesting was going on. My sister was clearly listening to every word that came out of Gen, and my mother had her eyes down and was touching her hands.

『But as I said before, that's in the past, what's important is the present and the future, I want to be with Nyoka and she will be my top priority from now on, when I saw her.....I really.....I really.....I really love her』.

Gen took my mother's trembling hand and looked into her eyes, my mother as if she was a teenager in love, she felt embarrassed and accepted Gen's words with a smile. Pam pam pam pam, Some clapping could be heard, as the adults turned around and so did I, my sister was clapping again and again, she was with a proud smile on her face.

『Good answer, if you talked bad about your ex it would have made me think a lot of doubts, mostly bad about you, although I wouldn't know the context either so my opinion would be worth little, but that way of telling it really is genuine, I like that you still remember it fondly, and I also like what you said, it matters more the present and more if you have something clear, listen Gen-san! I won't forgive you if you do something bad to my mother, if you make her cry or suffer, you will deal with me, I don't forgive people who hurt my family! So I hope you'll take good care of her, I beg you』

My sister without further ado got up from the table showing her fist, she was showing a serious attitude, that personality was present wherever she goes, where at the end she was bowing down asking me to take care of our dear mother, my sister snapped whispering me to bow down as well, she was also asking me to take care of my mother. Gen to all this, her eyes sparkled, saying that she will do her best to make sure that our mother will not suffer again.

『(At first I had doubts, but now I have them clear, this man may be the right person to be with our mother, again I ask you, please take care of her)』.

My sister was grateful, she felt like a weight was being lifted off her shoulders from all the responsibility she was carrying on her back, she felt calmer that she is not the only one who will see for the person she loves and wants. My mother was crying her eyes out, and as if they were teenagers, Gen was gently stroking our mother's head. The waiter had finally arrived with Gen's order.

『Well!!! Let's celebrate that everything went well!!!』

Gen gave a loud shout that flooded the whole establishment, when we noticed, there were lots of cans, bottles of beer on the table, when this saw this my sister was surprised by this, she didn't expect to see so much liquor again.

『We are grown up now, and the elders celebrate with liquor, let's toast that we will be a big family!!!! And to Yashiro-san, he can go on with his soda, but when he grows up I'll make him drink his first drink』.

I turned to look at Gen and was drinking my soda, I noticed that there were lots of cans and beer, but I quickly turned away from looking. My mother was also agreeing to be able to have some to celebrate, saying "He's like that" when he celebrates something. My sister Maya was with her head down, she had gone silent when suddenly.

『One little drink....I think I'll have just one little drink if it's for the moment, but I'll avoid as much as possible, so Priya won't come back anymore, she must die』.

My sister whispered without further ado, where in so many doubts in her head, she ended up exploding like a bomb, saying that she would also drink but in moderation, all the adults here, were about to celebrate this new union that was born. I could hear the cans clinking, some glasses also where they served, quickly said that nothing is richer than a cold beer. I was curious as to why everything became more cheerful, where my sister made me smell the can of beer she was drinking, where I quickly became alarmed at how bad it smelled, I quickly pushed it aside and wondered how could they drink something as ugly as that, where I swore I would always drink my juice, and that's what I wanted, I'm not a fan of soda, besides it gives me gas, up with the juice.

Everything was laughter and celebration, my mother drank small drinks, since she was not a drinker since long before, she was always careful, but this made her very happy because she felt she had to enjoy it, and my sister after her horrible experience, she drank with care and moderation, always trying not to overdo it, but Gen, she was the one who lived it the most and did not care about anything, she drank and drank without control, it was like she had forgotten that this is a family reunion and with a minor, but she did not care about it as long as she was celebrating. He drank several cans, bottles and glasses of beer until he couldn't drink anymore.

『HAAAAAA!!!! FUCK THAT RIKO!!!! HOW CAN HE BE SO RIKO CONCHETUMARE!!!! HAHAHAHAHJIIJFUAFFHAAKFK』

Gen was already blurting out tongues and bad words with a rougher attitude, to this my sister looked at me where my surprised face was to laugh (◎_◎) Quickly my sister was covering my ears telling me not to listen to anything he says, asking him to control himself a little and not to say rude things in front of his brother, but Gen was still drinking and drinking, my sister called my mother's attention, where she also did nothing, she was just standing next to Gen supporting him.

『Right...you ask me how was my ex...then there will be no problem if I give my opinion how was my Nyoka's partner, right?...HIP!.....PTM BUT WHAT A GOOD DRINK!!!!』

He was already too drunk Gen, you could see it on his face and in his attitude, even the proper and nice clothes he was wearing, they were all messed up and he looked like a bum. My sister at this was already afraid, she knows what alcohol can do because she experienced it herself, it leaves you in such a silly and embarrassing state, but also a drunk person is one of the honest ones out there.

『That guy...Makoto.....si.....ese conshesumare.....but what a jerk he is』

My sister at Gen's first words became alarmed, while Gen was with a drunken grin, implying that he wouldn't hold back on anything.

『HE'S A BITCH!!!! How could he do nothing in the face of the precious one that is my Nyoka, look at her, better than any woman out there fuck!!!! He's a simple loser who once had it all.....but because of his bad actions and that bad streak, it's bad luck that he takes with him ended him little by little in ruin, HAHAHAHAHA but what a fucker, bankrupting a company....eso is something that only he would do!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA BUT WHAT A BITCH!!!!』-『When he was young he sure had everything for free!!!! But when he faced the real world he looked like an asshole!!!!! Serves that fucker right, I'm so glad this happened to him, he's just a loser, uSyou guys being his kids should know that, TELL ME!!!! What good did it do him to be good PEOPLE!!!What good did it do him to think of others and be humble!!!! There it is!!! This is what happens when a flame is given a chance!!!!! He throws it all down the drain!!! ahahahahahAJAJA But what a desire to be in debt CONCHSUMARE!!!! That guy since he lost the company, he has been full of debts and debts and with that he brought problems to his family!!!! That's why my Nyoka couldn't take it anymore!!!! He only brought her problems!!! He's a scum of a person for bringing hell to his family....*PSS* It makes me sick just imagining it..... I would have done a better job than that weon!!!!! You were right to leave him, now with me I will bring you something you will call life, give me your hand children!!!!! Together let's get ahead』

Gen was shouting to the 4 winds, insulting and holding nothing back from our father Makoto, Gen all drunk, stinking and all disheveled, he was offering us his hand to a new life much better than the ones our father could give us. My sister had remained silent in her seat, and I was looking elsewhere, as always ignoring. My sister a few seconds later looked up, her face....su face was one of pure anger and rage.

『Eh? Why are you looking at me like that? If what I said is the pure truth, he's a loser in society』.

POMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!! Without further ado my sister couldn't take it anymore and ended up giving Gen a hard punch on the cheek, which as she was from the effect of alcohol, she didn't feel any kind of pain. My sister quickly looked annoyed at my mother, and complained to her how could she let this guy talk about her father like that, my mother was just laughing at this, it seems that she also got a little drunk.

『*laughs* Is that..... makes any sense.... no? he's like that after all』.

My mother laughed hiding her mouth, Maya at this was outraged, she couldn't believe what was happening here, she clenched her fists and teeth like never before, her angry face was marked with veins that seemed to explode from the rage she felt, Gen had recovered and was shaking her head.

『Hostia! What a little trip I took...And you? Why are you upset? Let's keep telling the truths about that loser, that's what it is after all』

『SHUT UP!!!』

Maya without further ado lashed out giving a powerful scream that flooded the whole place, we had already made such a fuss that all the diners were staring at us, the waiters were also here to tell us to calm down, but my sister exploded in her own way.

『Don't speak ill of my father!!!! There's no reason to denigrate him the way you do!!!! I will not allow you to insult my father in any way!!!! And that if he is in debt, and that if he has economic problems!!!! And what if he made mistakes in his life!!!! We are all equal!!!! Not all of us are lucky like you!!! That are rubbing it in the face of others!!! And that's why we go around believing we are better than others!!!!! Even with all that....he was always....he was always a good father.....he always cared about his children...he always came for us....he always put us first in any way....we were his reason why he tried so hard...his care and love....he did everything thinking of his family.....he is someone good.....he is very humble....compared to you who are just the opposite....if my father is a piece of crap to you, then you are a piece of crap without a care!!!! I will not tolerate you badmouthing such a good person as my father is!!!!! He just.....he just wanted to have a happy family...I still don't understand why he did such a thing....why he destroyed the family he loved so much...when we were deciding who to leave with, my mother was not only going to take my brother, I was also going to leave with her. But when I turned around, I saw my father all alone and forcing a smile that everything is going to be ok..... and that broke my heart.... he is still trying so hard for us even though everything is going bad for him.... so I decided.... I would go with my father to get ahead..... I was also giving him a second chance..... I didn't make a better decision than that..... my father asked me why I chose him, that if I am with him, nothing will get better. Where I told him that we will get out of this together.....My father.....my father hugged me and cried like never before....I never saw my father indulge in luxuries, he is one of those people who fight for the ones he loves the most, you don't know what he lived through, he doesn't deserve this suffering nor your filthy words.....he doesn't deserve that a stranger like you, talk bad about my father!!!』

Maya was crying loudly and helplessly, she was making very clear the love she has for her father, for Maya the only father she has is Makoto, I looked at my sister and I didn't know why she was crying, why she said all this, I also looked at my mother who was with her eyes down and I think I heard her whisper some words "Makoto.....I'm sorry."

『I'LL NEVER LIKE YOU, YOU CRAPPY GENE!!!! PEOPLE WHO DESPISE OTHERS, SHOULD JUST WALLOW IN FILTH!!!! I saw the person you really are, come on son, we're leaving』.

Maya making it clear that she would never accept Gen, and referring to me as son, took me carrying me in her arms and we were leaving the place. I still didn't understand what had happened, I only said that there would be no more food, while my sister with a huge grudge against both of us, and with tears already dried on her face, we were going straight home. Gen to all this because he was drunk, he didn't understand anything of Maya's words, he only limited himself to say.

『Strangers?...HIp!』

My mother was apologizing and regretting that things had turned out this way, she also regretted that she was still a weak person in front of others. To top it all off, Gen's drunkenness got so bad that he ended up falling asleep on top of the table and making a pigsty all over the floor.

My sister finished telling my mother, who Nyoka had no way to answer, angrily my sister was leaving my room and getting ready to leave that her train may miss it. While M was returning to her Human Form, she was peeling off the wall saying that she could hear everything and stating.

『No wonder I didn't like this guy』.
