Chapter 1

It was a rainy day on September. Some people were standing circling a grave. There was an old man, who was still trying to give a weak smile when the others came to him and asked him to receive their condolences. There were also two blonde who seemed to be so sad. One was the son of the deceased, and the other one was his girlfriend. And the latest one, there was another blonde man, who was older than the first one, kneeling near the tomb and crying. Beside him, a two year old auburn girl brought flowers and then put it in front of that tomb.

T.K. Takaishi was so sad and desperate. Today was the funeral of a woman he loved the most in his life. He was about telling her that he was going to get married with the blonde girl beside him, when suddenly he received a call from his good friend, Joe, who was also be the first person gave him his apologize and deepest condolences, because he could not saved the woman from her hepatitis. He looked to the tomb and read the name written on it slowly,

Rest in Peace

Nancy Takaishi Ishida

This was so ironic. T.K. remembered, since their parents got divorced, his mom had never used this name again. She decided to threw away all of her memories for being 'Mrs. Ishida', even she had never been able to do that, because she had him, and Matt. And at the last day of her life, Nancy told her ex husband to write her name like that, because she wanted to tell everyone, that she was not only the mother of T.K. Takaishi, but also the mother of Matt Ishida.

When he looked at his father, he saw a desperate and hopeless man. T.K. knew, his parents, even though got divorced, but they still love each other. He knew it, and he could see it. It was the reason why his mom rejected the manager who asked her to get married, and that's why his father had never got married with the other woman.

Then he looked at his brother. Matt was crying. He knew it was harder for him. Matt was the latest person who was talking to his mother, before her dead. T.K. did not know what they were exactly talking at that time. But he knew that Matt loved his mom so much, even he had never said and Matt was too sad so he couldn't tell anything about her mother since she passed the way, without tears on his eyes.

Then he remembered himself. He, his mom, and all the things came out since he lived only with her. How hard she tried to give him anything that he used to have before the divorce, and how much the love Nancy gave to him. He remembered the time they laugh and cry together. After all the memories, his tear began to fall.

His girlfriend embraced him. Catherine was standing next to T.K. at the moment. She knew it was so hard for him. She understood that T.K. was so closed to his mother, and he would miss her so much, like no one could take her part in his heart. So she hugged him, and let he cried on her shoulder.

After that, T.K. saw someone was walking to them. A girl with long brown hair. She was brought some flowers with her. Then he realized that he knew who she was. But he never knows that the coming of this girl was the beginning of a big change in his life. The girl came to him, and hugged him. "I'm really sorry for hear this T.K." she said "It must be so hard for you"

"Thanks," T.K. gave him a smile, "Mimi"
