Who's that girl: chapter 8
Rukawa yawned and stretched on his seat in the comfort of his bedroom.He was definately never going to babysit again.He remembered as soon as the grumpy 2 year old woke up there was not a moment of silence.There had to be snack-making, diaper-changing and Tsuru had been tugging on his jeans for almost eternity trying to get his attention.He never realized how many places a baby could leak from.He was glad to be back home in a new ,clean set of clothes.
"Ah...I still smell like baby barf."He announced to no one.
"You used to do that too, you know."
Rukawa swung around on his chair and his father was standing at this door.
He looked really tired but he had on a smile.
"What do you want?"Rukawa asked his father in a most annoyed tone.
His father hesitated for a moment and said,"I'm sorry."
"Why are you sorry? You're not the one who ran out of the house yelling that you hated me."
"Kaede.There are many things I need to apologize for."
"Its good that you know."
"I wish you weren't that frank son."
"That's just me, you can't change that."He said, shrugging.
"I know that.You've always been so pig-headed and cheesey and frank."
"Wow Dad...that does make me feel a whole lot better."His son looked at him sourly.
"But...you're just that way because you wanted my attention."
"That's right.I still want some of it.Even now."
"Stop acting like a child, kaede."
"But Dad...I am a child.Why can't you see that?"
His father looked at him angrily.But his face softened and he ruffled his son's hair.
'He is a child.My child."
"You know son.Everyone needs to know that they're loved.Your Mom told me that when you were born.She also wanted you to have this."His father handed him an envelope.
"For me?"He asked uncertainly, holding the envelope up and scanned the words on it.
His father nodded and walked out of his room closing the door behind him.
To: Kaede who's exactly 1 month and 2 days old
Rukawa tore up the front of the envelope,it was easy to tear because it was pretty old and if the 1 month and 2 days part was true then it would make this envelope like 15 years old?
Dear Kaede,
I don't know when you'll get this letter and I don't know why I wrote this letter.I suppose it was because I wanted to get to talk to you one last time before I leave you with your father.You can't talk now and you're really quiet but I know you're listening.I like it when you're listening. You're very fair and so is your sister.I put you 2 into the cot and and you're sleeping soundly now.You're a wonderful child.You go to sleep whenever I have a bad headach and you never scream or cry much.I remember when you were born how afraid I was.I was afraid of thing like how I was going to look after you but I didn't expect to be seperated with your father.Moreover, I was afraid that you wouldn't accept me as your mother because I left you.But I just want you to know that I love you son and this means forever.
Yours forever,
Mom
Rukawa read the letter over and over again until.When he finally put down the letter, he felt like he could know everything about his mom from just one letter.He could feel like he actually missed her.It was like he had known her forever and he could feel a pang in his heart.
"You're right Mom.Everyone does need to know that they're loved."he whispered looking out the window through the tears in his eyes.
