Shibukawa, Gunma
1986
Today is strange, cloudy in the morning, then later It started raining very heavily, seems this rain will last long till tomorrow.
During that time, a funeral was taking place at some cemetery in Gunma, everyone that gathers stand and waited till the ceremony is over.
With the final words; ending the ceremony most of the attendants walk out of the gate immediately, mostly can't handle the lost of their love one. Some just stands there in front of the gravestone, mourning for a little longer and some are just wanting to walk to the bathroom for getting themselves dry.
A man from among those people walked out after drying himself. Deciding to lead against the wall under the bathroom roof to take a smoke.
Putting his cigarette onto his mouth and lit it, releasing a puff of smoke while after.
Meanwhile, another man with blonde haired also leads to the wall was next to him.
The two seem to know each other as he offers a cigarette to blonde, the blonde does the same action as they're silently enjoying the peace and quiet.
"So..." blonde haired said as he squatted down, using the wall for support. "The weather kind of ironic, isn't it?" he question the person next to him.
"Maybe..." the man replied while exhaling another puff. "Say..." he finished the smoke and throw it into the bin. "How're you been holding up ever since joining the Yakuza".
The blonde haired looked to the man. "Getting by..." he replied, dropping the cigarette and step on it. "I can say that the boss is too nice..." bring his head to the side to look at an eye-patch old man was talking to some attendants still out in the open. "Too nice for a Yakuza boss."
"A leader must have 2 sides in balance after all..." the man explain to the blonde haired as he pointed to the gray haired figure next to the boss."It's him that taught me that."
"Seriously, I thought you two are rival, is it still that Katsu?" He question him.
"You haven't heard Kenshin, we already retired from racing years ago". Katsu took out another cigarette and light it.
"I know, but are you mad that he won the final race." Kenshin continue to ask out of curiosity.
"Well, you don't know our win-loss records..." another puff flew as Katsu look up to the roof. "In the two years rivalry, me and him manage to get 200 races in both uphills and downhills in total. Before that day, he behind me by one win in both types, so it's kinda lucky for him to win me, but for the overall results... we tie by 100 to 100."
"Woah, I never knew that before." Kenshin look surprise cause everything knew before was wrong.
"Of course you don't." Katsu smirks right when he saw Kenshin face.
While they were talking, the same gray-haired man goes to where they were standing.
Katsu is the first to notice him."Speaks of the devil, what up old friend?"
"Nothing... just seeing you two talking that all" also leading to the wall as he let out a sigh.
"I have no position to say this, but... as your rival. Haruto I advise you to not grieve for too long... it will affect your health and her sake..." Katsu looks concerned as he placed his hand on Haruto shoulder.
"I'm fine... that's not what's on my mind." Haruto said while keeping himself calm, how could anyone not be sad after losing someone important.
Seeing this Katsu offer him a smoke, but Haruto raise one hand to decline, his face looked rather lost.
Deciding it useless to force him, Katsu gave up and stand next to him.
"I must be going now, see ya" seeing his boss is about to leave, Kenshin says goodbye and run to the boss before giving a nod to the two.
Katsu nodded as he waved Kenshin, he looked at Haruto; Haruto face seems more and more sadden and depressed. Katsu tapped Haruto, a gesture they offer used to ask if they really okay or not
Haruto shaken his head, he is not well in fact, he wanted nothing more than to fall to the ground and scream his despair. She's gone, she left him. Left them. He wanted to be left alone and be faded away out of existence. But he didn't...
"Hey Katsu..."lowering his head, he asked Katsu. Katsu stayed silent and nodded, waited for him to continue.
"How can I raise Akio by myself...?"Katsu said hopelessly. "Since Mariko's gone for a few days... I don't know what to do."
"Be who you are, use everything you know and you will be fine. You're a wonderful person after all and I'm sure you will be a wonderful father too" Katsu replied, confidence in his word since it's Haruto who changed him.
"All I know is racing and growing vegetables!" He said a bitter tone. "How am I supposed to bring my son with that? I can't fail..."
"You won't" Katsu said firmly. "You will do fine, teach him what you know and I'm sure you will do a fine job."
"Listen, you helped me improve myself a lot during our rivalry. If weren't for you, I don't know what I am." He looked forward. "You will be alright. I know it didn't seem like it now but everything will eventually be fine, you just need to hang in there."
Haruto nodded as he looked to Katsu "Thanks you Katsu..." he said, looking better now
"That's what rival for" Katsu smiled at Katsu
"Papa!" A sudden sound from a distant started them. "Well, I must be going now... hang in Haruto" Katsu waved as he walks back with his daughter and wife.
Leaving Haruto alone, he walked to his wife's gravestone. Placing his hand on it and closed his eyes. 'I'm fine... don't worry Mariko, now it's up to me now... thanks you for appearing into my life darling' said mentally
And with that, being the only one left. He slowly opened his eyes and walked out of the cemetery.
Entering his car, he took a moment to process. Looking at the rear mirror, there his son in the back, sleeping peacefully.
Haruto sighed as he inserted his key, then silently drove out of the driveway.
The rain began to stop, blue sky began to show as Haruto safely goes home.
