"Will you move in here and protect Mol when I'm gone?"
Sasuke looked at me with his sharp eyes and clearly said every single word, my head started to turn around when I suddenly heard that. What is this feeling? I can't breath; this air is so tight I don't know what to say. I just thought If I answer wrong my head gonna fall down. Suddenly a chipmunk voice raise angrily
" Sasu-nii? What wrong? What do you mean by… when you're gone?"
Mol disappointed face make me felt guilty, her eyes are teary I don't know wether by she was crying back then or she are about to cry, the air is more tight and tight… I can't breath
"Mol listen I'll be here don't worry sweet heart"
"Don't Sweet heart me, you are about to leave like grandpa right. I knew it you guys are trying to be hero leaving me alone and saving the world, the only thing you guys think of is saving the world. I hate you guys"
SLAP
I suddenly felt my hand hurt, her face turn red, the tear started to fallen down, she cried loudly, Sasuke ran to her and hug her… did I just.. slap her?... why?... what wrong with me?
" Mol please don't cry, I'm here, I'm here, no one can hurt you, it hurt doesn't it? It's okay please don't cry"
With all my power I pull Mol away from Sasuke, Sasuke angrily stood up and about to hit me but my voice started to raise higher than I can imagine, it was loud and powerful
"Sasuke step out of it, you create an easy life for this kid, and now she is selfish, don't you see you make her used to the protection that she can't even walk on her own, so this is the first and the only time I want her to walk on her own"
Sasuke took a step back he can't believe that the guy stand in front of him change so fast just like that, Mol tried to get away from me but I pulled her even harder
"Let me go you devil, you can't talk to my brother like that, and you're not my father!"
"Listen up kid! Don't be such a stubborn I am not your father but I want to talk to you like a big brother, you hurt by your past, but don't you think your brother is the same? How can you say you hate your brother when he would do everything just for you, he is such a stupid person, He should have let you cry when I slapped you but he didn't because he love you! Don't you think you are too selfish? You say they are trying to be hero, heroes are good why don't you support your brother?"
With all her power she got away from me, she started to scream
"You don't know anything, I hate my brother? What is in your brain anyway? He is my only family how can I not love him? You don't understand! If… If I let him go out there… if I let him be a hero… the bad guys will take him from me, he will go away just like grandpa and others people, the bad guy cheat… and they will win, then what should I do? I can't safe my brother…, I'm useless don't you see?"
I surprisingly looked at Sasuke, He was shock… speechless and also hurt… those words… are from a little sister who is weak and powerless, she afraid to lose something once more… I… I don't know what to say… I change my voice
"Mol… I'm really sorry… Your brother is very powerful you know? He will kick those bad guys's butt; He will be back in no time. You know the bad guys loose because they cheat, and if they cheat they can't never win because good person always have god on their side and their power can prevent those evil cheat, believe it or not… your brother will be back"
She started to calm and looked at me with her tearful eyes
"Sure?"
"I promise you,... right Sasuke?"
I smiled and looked at Sasuke, he smiled too. He gave
his hand to Mol
"I promise, pinky swear"
"Pinky swear"
Saw Mol's happy face I felt so relive, Sasuke smile to me and looked back at his sister
"Now go to bed tomorrow is Sunday right? Then I need you to go out with me and Kirino but only if your cold get away, so you have to go to bed and have a good rest or else you will stay home tomorrow… Do you understand?"
"Sir yes sir!"
After that Mol ran straight to bed, look at that innocent girl I took a sigh and smile
"Kids" –I said
"Good job back there" – Sasuke hit me on the shoulder and smile he seem satisfy
"That was such a heart attack I just thought she gonna cry louder and it will make me confused"
"Nope she not that kind of person she is strong"
"Anyway… what did she mean by the heroes stuff?"
Is started to remember that situation when she said "they are trying to be heroes" what was that even mean? Sasuke suddenly stood there for a second and turn back look at the night sky. He poured some tea and took a snip, the air just so silent, he took a breath and sadly said
" grandpa went to a trip to Konoha- my home town, 3 year ago and he hasn't come back yet, I have sent a lot of people to search for the information and they said that my grandpa has past away after he finished signing his last contrast and… the contrast was about the café… Mol will own the café when she turns 18, I always said to her grandpa is a business hero; he is the best with his witness and kindness he will go out there and save a lot of businessman, you know… She never know he'll never back, she always hope for grandpa every single day at the door but her truth started to faded'
"She… still hasn't known… her grandpa died?" – I was totally out of my mind… these guys hide a big secret from a little innocent girl and… they turn her in to a fool just like that? What the heck?
"Yes… I'm not brave enough to tell her… but she will know it someday…"
This is such a tragic they brought this girl hope and they just gonna let her shut that hope by herself what kind of family isthis?
"I know what you are thinking Kirino, but it doesn't like what it seems… The contrast is useless until she is 18"
"That mean… no one own the café right now?"
"Yes! I need your help"
"I don't think I can help but… I'll do my best"
Sasuke turned back and looked right into my eyes, I could see hope in his eyes
"My trip back to the village is not about business but it about revenge… I want to give Mol a safety life"
"What she is safe here with you!"
"No listen Kirino, if they took away that café that mean they took away grandpa's hope and Mol love. But also someone try to kill her just because of old business and if I don't stop that, the killer… he is going to take Mol from me, Can you see that bright smile… I don't want it to disappear… Please Kirino… please help me, you are my only hope"
He begs me… I felt guilty what should I do? I can't do it… ok I might give it a shot
"Say Sasuke how can I help you?"
"Thanks Kirino! I'll made you a part of this family and you gonna own the café in 2 years until Mol is 18 easy right?"
My mouth just want to fallen down when I heard "easy right?" how can it possibly easy? It is a whole relationship family tree, how can you adopt a person already have a father?
"Wow men… You… are… mad! I already have a father you know?"
" Okay deal you will move here starting from tomorrow, you can take the room upstairs next to Mol and we will repair your clothes and everything so you don't need to bring much thank you Kirino you're such a man, I'll talk to Mol about this. Oh it getting late I'm going to bed."
"W…wait"
"Nami please took your new master home, careful!"
Wait what the heck? Wait! I haven't said anything about moving and accept? What the?! Sasuke you are mad! How can this possible?! Wait…
_ o0o_
I'm home at last, it was 9.35 PM, right… dad was still working at this time, he working like mad after mom died… he barely talking to me and he will be at home just for dinner from Monday to Friday on Saturday he will sleep at the office and rest on Sunday… Great… life is a bunch of great things
"I'm home"
I always said that even thought no one home because mom taught me it when I was just little she said even no one home I have to say it because the guardian of the house is always at home, I don't know whether I believe it or not but I want to be polite to the guardian at least
"You're late young man!"
The voice start from the top of my head… that old man voice, wait…
"Dad? You're home? What bring you home at this time?"
"Thanks goodness I'm home today other wise I won't know what have you been doing at this time of the day"
"The granddaughter of the manager was sick and I brought her home, I'm going to sleep, good night dad"
"That all you want to say to your father after so many years?"
"After so many years? You? You never notice me since mom died…I don't even know am I still there in front of your eyes anymore"
In front of me is a pitch black space - the space between me and my dad getting far and far I don't know what I should do to take those happiness day back… I ran to my room and slammed the door
"Son listen…I'm sorry… I messed up I'm sorry, I want to do something to make up those year you've been lost, please son… I know how much you hurt and how painful you feel… Kirino your mom is my wife… I love her more than anything in my life… and the only thing I have left is you so please… Kirino please I want to change my faith to replace that hole in your heart"
My eyes started to watery… No Kirino you are a man… you won't cry because of things like this… face it… face everything… face your fear
"Dad, Sasuke- grandson of the manager, asked move in his house and take care of his sister… and I accepted it…I'm going to stay there starting from tomorrow…"
"Oh… if that make you happy then… suit yourself… take good care of her… and this house always welcome you"
Dad voice went low and I could feel disappointed in his voice… my head burning like fire I felt dizzy…
" Dad… last question… Do you think your faith can replace my lost?"
No answered was reply… Dad silently walk away… everything fade in the dark, I knocked down on the floor, every things was so dark and cold.. please help me.. Someone…
