Chapter 1.1

"Haruto, let's eat, darling. Mommy prepared Haruto's favorite fried rice." Mrs. Aizura persuaded. Haruto didn't show any reaction. He kept drifting into his own world. Talk to his Shin Chan doll.

Mrs. Aizura sighed. Her tears are almost out.

Her heart aches looking eldest son being like that. She don't know what her son's illness. Don't want to hang out with people. Don't want to communicate with people. Love to be alone. Live in his own world. Could this be related to what happened to Haruto seven years ago? Even the doctor has no cure for her son's illness. There are autism symptoms, but the doctor himself is curious about Haruto's disease. She's herself was confused too.

"Haruto wants to eat with Daddy, too? Mommy will call Daddy to tell him to come home early, okay?" Mrs. Aizura persuaded again. She got up and went straight to the desk. Took a phone to call her husband. Only her husband can persuade Haruto.

"Hello, darling....Darling, our Haruto did it again. He didn't want to eat. Darling, come back now, hmm? Ai doesn't know how to persuade him anymore." Mrs. Aizura glanced at Haruto. The food is still untouched.

"Okay, Ai. I'll be back now. And I'll buy him a present later. It's okay then, don't be stressed. He will be okay..." Mr. Azumi said it to encouraging his wife. Mrs. Aizura could only nod. After the call, she headed back to Haruto who was hiding near the closet.

"Haruto, Mommy just called Daddy. He said he wanted to buy Haruto a present. How about Haruto eat first? After that, Haruto can play with the present that Daddy buy for you." Mrs. Aizura still didn't give up. It's not because she forced him to eat, it's because Haruto sulking from last night and did not eat any food. Don't know what he's protesting. Haruto didn't answer. He kept shaking his head. He's not moving from the closet. Mrs. Aizura sighed again.

One hour later...

"Haruto, let's eat together. See what present you got from Daddy. Look, there are a Ben 10 watch. Do you like it?" Mr. Azumi gave a Ben 10 watch to Haruto. This is the only gift he can think of. Now Haruto loves to watch Ben 10 cartoon series. This gift is just a feed for Haruto to eat some food.

Haruto hurriedly picked it up. He smiled. He tried to wear it. However, when he failed to wear it, he crashed the watch on the floor. Mr. Azumi silent. He sighed.

"Haruto, it's not good to do this. Let Daddy put it on." Mr Azumi put the watch on Haruto's wrist. Haruto smiled again. He talks to his favorite doll.

"I have a new watch. But you're not. Poor you." He got up and sat down at the dining table. Mr. Azumi breathed a sigh of relief. Good thing he bought that.

"Ai, lets eat together too. There's Haruto, Daddy and Mommy here. Right, my Haruto? Then our family is happier." Haruto didn't show any reaction. He still playing with his doll.

"Haruto please eat this fried rice. Special for Haruto alone. There's chicken, there's vegetables, there's fish balls..." Mrs. Aizura smiled when her son eating the rice in front of her. She looked at her husband. Mr. Azumi just nodded. They watched Haruto eating with mixed feelings. This is the fate they must accept now. Haruto is no longer what he used to be. They have to accept it.
