You didn’t think it was going to...

Episode three: you didn’t think it was going to...

Haru’s house

Sanosuke was fast asleep; Haru and Yoshio were playing video games.

“I win again!” Yoshio exclaimed in victory.

“Shhh we don’t want to wake Sanosuke,” Haru looked over at the crib, Sanosuke moved a little bit but didn’t wake up.

“Sorry,” Yoshio covered his mouth and apologized.

“It’s okay,” Haru said as his phone rang. A few messages from Assistant Toma came through.

“Alright time for bed,” Haru said picking up Yoshio.

“What have you been eating. You’re so heavy?” Haru said bouncing Yoshio up and down.

“Nothing, I’m not a baby anymore,” Yoshio giggled.

“So does that mean you can get yourself ready for bed?” Haru looked at Yoshio.

“Yes, am I big boy,” Yoshio smiled and Haru put him down.

“Alright,” Haru picked up a sleeping Sanosuke and took him up to the bedroom. He laid him in his crib and went to check on Yoshio.

Yoshio was standing on a tip toe looking at himself in the mirror. He had toothpaste all over his mouth.

“Arrr I’m a silly monster, arrr,” Yoshio made faces in the mirror.

“Almost done,” Haru stood behind him.

“Yes, uncle Haru,” Yoshio turned around with a huge smile on his face. Yoshio washes his mouth and Haru put him to bed.

Haru went to his study and sat in front of his computer. He put the baby monitor next to computer.

He opens the files that Assistant Toma sent him. It was images of the lab being broken into and there was also a list of the medications which was taken.

“What the hell are you up to, Hisa?” Haru asked himself as he looked at the documents. Haru took out his phone to message Assistant Toma. The image on the lock screen was a picture of Bada from when they went to the amusement park. He ran his finger over the image.

“Why can’t I...” Haru closed his eyes and unlocked his phone. He had to delete that picture but he couldn’t, he couldn’t get over her. He couldn’t move on, he was trapped in the feelings he didn’t understand.

“Assistant Toma...”

City R

Bada’s Home

Bada ran into the house to find her dad setting the table. The house smelled just like she remembered, the smell of food cooking on the stove. The scent of cinnamon and apples faint in the background. She was home; Bada smiled to her self as she rushed into her fathers arms.

“Daddy!” She yelled and he embraced her.

“I’ve missed you so much, I made dinner for you?” He pointed to the table.

“Thanks daddy,” she kissed her father on the cheek and put her bag down.

The following morning Bada woke up in her room surrounded by all her things. Her phone began to ping with messages.

She unlocked her phone to check the messages and she’d forgotten all about that. Haru was the background image on her phone. It was a picture of him at his desk, she’d taken it while she was waiting for him to finish for the day. He was so serious all the time, she wished he would have smiled in the picture. He has such a beautiful smile.

‘What am I thinking,’ she thought shaking her head.

\~Bada you came back into town and I had to find out from the gossipy girl at the airport. Call me\~ Isa

Bada smiled Isa has been her best friend since childhood. When Bada left city R three years ago, the continued contact through messages and phone calls. Bada was just nervous and scared about what to tell her friend.

“Isa,” Bada said when the phone picked up.

“Bada my best friend. I’m angry with you,” Bada could hear Isa pouting on the other end of the phone.

“I’m sorry, how can I make it up to you?” Bada said resting on the big fluffy pillow on her bed.

“Meet me for lunch so we can catch up. Please,” Isa begged.

“Okay,” Bada agreed reluctantly, she would have much rather to be at home crying her eyes out. Maybe this was a better alternative, a meal with an old dear friend; might help her move on.
