Chapter 1
Awaited Moment
Comeback
It's a good day. Sun shine brightly but it's not very hot that day. On that afternoon. A particular girl is sitting in a park. The wind blow her grey long hair and her aurora blue eyes (A/N: I don't know what that color exactly is, so I will called it aurora blue, because it is as blue as sky when there is aurora) is staring at the activity on the park. Sakagami Tomoyo is sitting on the bench. She saw a couple who wondered in the park with their uniform. It is Hikarizaka high school uniform. She saw them and she is thinking like she's having déjà vu. Although she is 23 right now, she still look like when she attended school in 17. Actually everyone else looked pretty much the same.
"Ah, what a memory." Tomoyo though. But her phone started to ring. she opened her phone and it was Kyou who called her.
"Hey Tomoyo, I got a good news for all of us!" Kyou said excited.
"What is it? You rarely got excited like that when you hear something." Tomoyo asked wondering.
"Tomoya will be back this evening! Me, Sunohara, and Ryou will pick him up. You want to come?" Kyou asked.
Now Tomoyo gasped. She is shocked to hear that. It's been 5 years since he left with Nagisa. Everyone always waiting for his comeback, especially Tomoyo.
"Yes, I like to see an old friend again." Tomoyo said. But deep in her heart, something else also surfaced.
"Okay, pick you up at 6. See ya!" Kyou said.
"Bye." Tomoyo said "Tomoya….." She though. She is very excited and happy to see he is back. But something also come with that "But…..he is with Nagisa now." She though sadly. Tomoya is the first who tried to help her. He supported her to become Student Council President when they are in school to preserved the sakura trees that her brother like very much. That spot become a popular place in the school until now and the trees will not be planned to be cut again. He is the only guys she ever fell in love very deeply. And because of that, she almost got a heavy mental breakdown when he graduated and continue his life forever with Nagisa. She though about that she will ever met him again let alone had a chance to be with him. Because of that, she stayed there and become novelist, given up all of her reputation and scores only to want to see him again.
"You don't know how much I missed you…." Tomoyo though. Then she went to home to prepare for their first meet.
Tomoyo's home, Evening…
Tomoyo is writing a novel now. She usually write about 5 or 6 pages a day. But she write only 3 for today. It's because she just can't keep her excitement. She looked at the clock. It's 5.30 PM.
"I better get ready now or I will be late." She though. It's her habit to not to be late. It's also a reason why Tomoyo went to Tomoya's house almost every morning when they are still at school. She opened her wardrobe. She took out her grey blouse and a black skirt. She also prepared her gray flat shoes. She want to look good when they meet him. Then she took a bath and wore the outfit. Satisfied with her look, She walked to front of her house. After 5 minutes, Kyou and the others came. They are in Sunohara's car. Than everyone walked out from the car.
"Hey there, Tomoyo!" Kyou said. She is wearing a dark blue dress.
"Nice to see you." Ryou said. She also wear a blouse and skirt but the blouse is light pink and the skirt is grey.
"Hey, come on let's go." Sunohara said from the car. He is wearing a shirt and a jeans, typical boy's outfit.
"Yeah. Let's go." Tomoyo said.
Then they all entered the car. Sunohara is the driver.
"Hey, nice outfit you got there." Ryou said.
"Yeah, when you go out with us, you usually just wear a t-shirt, jeans, jacket and slippers. Is this one of your 'special' occasion?" Kyou asked.
"Uh, I just wear it because it's been a long time since we met him and I don't want to wear my casual." Tomoyo said while tried to hide her blush. It's true since Tomoyo rarely wear something 'girly'. She usually just wear a t-shirt with jacket, long jeans, and wear shoes or slippers.
"Or you wanna impress him with your appereance?" Sunohara teased her.
"N-No!" Tomoyo try to objected when actually she does want to impress Tomoya.
Then they chat until they arrived in in train station.
Train station, 7 PM…
they all sat on the bench. They are so eager to see Tomoya again, especially Tomoyo. Then a train arrived. Someone noticeable got out from the train. A man with blue hair and a luggage and blue in his right hand. In his left hand, a 5 years old child is holding his hand. She has auburn hair and dark yellow eyes. She looked like her mother. But something's is not there. Nagisa is not with them.
"Hi guys. Nice to meet you again." Tomoya said.
"Hi there." Sunohara said.
"Who is this little girl?" Kyou asked.
The girl stepped back and introduced herself "My name is Ushio Okazaki. Please to meet you all." She bowed down with formality.
"Well, looks like someone taught her how to become respectful to older people." Kyou said and bowed back.
"Hey, where is Nagisa?" Ryou asked.
"She…..She…." Tomoya tried to said something but fall to depression remembering Nagisa's death also time of Ushio's birthday.
Ushio hugged Tomoya "Please don't be sad,Daddy. You just meet your old friends." Tomoya see what her daughter doing, lighten up a little.
"I…will tell you later." Tomoya said.
"Alright. Anyway, my name is Youhei Sunohara." Sunohara introduced himself.
"My name is Kyou Fujibayashi." Kyou said.
"And I'm Ryou Fujibayashi." Ryou said.
"What can I call both of you, Fujibayashi-san?" Ushio asked.
"Just call us Kyou-san and Ryou-san." Kyou said.
"Okay, Kyou-san." Ushio said with a smile.
"And my name is Tomoyo Sakagami. Please just call me Tomoyo-san." Tomoyo said.
"Hey guys, want to eat? There is a place nearby that I used to visit in Sunday. It's a ramen restaurant. I will treat you guys." Tomoya said seems like he is back to his normal state.
"Sure. Who can reject free food from an old friend?" Sunohara said with half-joking tone.
"Sure. And you guys walked to here?" Tomoya asked.
"No, we went here by Sunohara's car." Tomoyo said.
"And I'm the driver." Sunohara said proudly.
"Wow, I though you will walk for your whole life." Tomoya said jokingly.
"Hey, what do you take me for?!" Sunohara protested gain the laugh from the other.
"Anyways, let's eat." Tomoya said.
"Hey, let's discuss in Tomoyo's house later." Kyou said as they walked,
"Sound fine to me." Tomoya said.
"Yeah, me too." Tomoyo said.
Then they went to the restaurant.
Tomoyo house, 9 PM….
"So, how was the food Ushio?" Tomoya asked.
"The best." Ushio said with timid personality.
"You always know how to make papa happy, Ushio." Tomoya said "Hey Ryou, take a walk with her. She usually likes to walk."
"Alright Tomoya. Hey Ushio, let's go outside and see the lights on the street." Ryou said.
"Okay, Ryou-san." Ushio said excitedly. Then they walked outside. After the door closed, situation immediately changed.
"Hey, Tomoyo, Kyou, Sunohara, I will tell you about Nagisa." Tomoya said now back to his depressed state.
"We are all ears." Sunohara said.
"Okay. After we moved out, we settle things up. Nagisa, as you know go to school and I worked as electrician. After she finished school, 5 years ago as you last met me, we discovered that Nagisa is pregnant. I was so happy. I though that I will have a child and be a happy family with Nagisa and Ushio. But 2 weeks before she give a born to Ushio, She…..She…." Tomoya said and suddenly hit by bad memories.
"What happened to her?" Kyou asked now very into the story.
"She…She struck by her illness again." Tomoya said nearing his breaking point.
Now everyone shocked. They remembered that Nagisa can be struck by almost a year illness that cause her to have fever for very long time.
"She insisted to give a birth to Ushio. When she finally give a birth to Ushio, her condition become critical. And then, She…..She….." Tomoya said now snapped. He can't finish the sentence.
"You can stop to tell us if you can't take it." Tomoyo said worried about Tomoya.
"I-It's all my fault…I should keep my eyes on her…I should took care of her….." Tomoya said regretting what happened.
"Hey, It's not your fault." Kyou said. "you never know when she will got her illness back. I'm pretty sure that she sacrificed herself so Ushio can give a light of hope inside the void of your heart if she's gone."
"I….will tell you the next part." Tomoya said "After Nagisa's death, I became a depressed man. For some days, my job is to take care of Ushio. I almost drank alcohol, but I remembered that I will not make my daughter a same failed delinquent like me. From that day, I promised that I will make Ushio a better person than me. I started to cheered up. I started to take care of her very carefully. I just want to see that my daughter become a better person than me."
"And why you asked Ryou to take a walk with her?" Sunohara asked.
"Well, I never told Ushio that her birthday is the very same day when her mother died." Tomoya said.
"Wow, we are very sorry for your lose. We will visit her if we can." Kyou said "And do you told her parent?"
"Thank you guys. I told Akio-san and Sanae-san. Although they were very sad, I called them yesterday and they said they can get over it, although they will never forget it. I also told them don't tell you guys so you don't have to stop at your work. Once again, thank you for your care." Tomoya said "After this, I will try to look for a home to rent."
"Y-Y-You can s-s-stay at m-m-my home if you want." Tomoyo said embarrassed.
"Yeah, I think you should. It save up the cost and we will know where we can meet you. And beside, it's a quite large house but only occupied by one people." Sunohara suggested.
"Sorry, you don't mind?" Tomoya asked.
"N-No, I-It's easier that way." Tomoyo said.
"Okay if you ask. Sorry for the interruption and the intrusion." Tomoya stood up and bow down.
"It's okay." Tomoyo said also lower her head a little as sign of respect.
"Daddy, we are back!" Ushio said after Ryou and her come in.
"Ushio, we will stay here. You don't mind if we stay here?" Tomoya asked.
"No." Ushio said and bowed down "Thank you for the place, Tomoyo-san."
"It's okay." Tomoyo said.
"Alright we shall go. Tomorrow is Sunday, so we will come again." Kyou said.
"See you all" Sunohara said. Now everyone said goodbye and leaved Tomoyo's house.
After they left, Tomoya asked "Where we gonna sleep?"
"Let's go to my bedroom." Tomoyo said.
Then they came to her bedroom. There are a queen sized bed, her wardrobe, her table and also a single sofa.
"I think you and Ushio should take the bed. I will sleep on the sofa." Tomoyo said.
"No, you and Ushio is the one that should take the bed. I like to sleep in sofa anyway." Tomoya said.
"Okay, if you say so." Tomoyo said then go to her bathroom to brush her teeth and also changed to her sleeping outfit. Tomoya and Ushio also prepared all their needs. After they all prepared, they want to go to sleep.
"Hey Tomoyo, Ushio have a problem for sleeping. She can't sleep fast." Tomoya said.
"I will try to make her sleep. Ushio, let's sleep." Tomoyo said.
"Okay, Tomoyo-san." Ushio said and they get on the bed. Then, Tomoyo chat with her, hoping that she can comforted Ushio. But it's already 10.30 PM and she still can't sleep.
"Why you can't go to sleep, Ushio?" Tomoyo asked.
"Because I afraid something will happened." Ushio said.
Tomoyo, shocked to hear that statement, catch a glimpse of something from Ushio. Ushio is feeling insecure right now because she doesn't have a mom. The one who can give her all the comfort.
Then Tomoyo hugged Ushio. Ushio is shocked to see this. But she is feeling comfort, secured, and care from that hug.
"Feeling better, Ushio?" Tomoyo asked with motherly quality to it. She also patted her head to comfort her.
"T-Thank you….Tomo….ya…." Ushio said before fall asleep.
"Well, look at that. It's like you can make her sleep peacefully now." Tomoya said.
"I-It's nothing. I think she just missed Nagisa." Tomoyo said embarrassed. It's because that she treat Ushio like she is her own daughter.
"Well, I can sleep now." Tomoya said and in less than five minutes also fall asleep.
"It's nothing" Tomoyo though "That's because I love you and I care about Ushio too." She though and give a peck on Ushio's forehead. She then fall asleep happily. Because it's a first time she act like a mother to her.
