Goten is not talking to me. I tried getting his cell phone but now it's always busy. Mother found out about my little bunk and went mad. I had to promise her not to do that again. Which was a complete lie. I was okay for about eight days but then found my old way between boredom and suicide.
It wasn't quite a bunk seeing I didn't go really far. I was still literally in my neighbourhood. In fact It was during my lunch break so my mother didn't saying (She probably thought I didn't want anything at home or the office)when she saw me passing Ms Aiko's front lawn.
Who's Ms Aiko? A divorced lawyer who moved here three years ago. She has two kids Itzu who's two and Aya who's six. They are a noisy bunch of kids. And a bit weird. They're usually playing wildly hitting each other with toys and stuff however anytime I pass them it's as if time froze. They just stare at me their big green eyes suddenly turning to stone. I have no clue why seeing they don't do that when Bura's round them. Even my father.
However the kids weren't their today. Which for some reason made me worry. I mean, I didn't even notice them most of the time.
"Don't worry they're with their babysitter………"
This was Ms Aiko speaking not my head. She was dressed quite casually so I figured it was now her day of. I frowned.
"You mean that foreign one that stole licker?"
She laughed "No, no… We have a new babysitter………"
"Oh."
I didn't like the old one. She was the one that probably made my mother start smoking. And she was sneaky. Her eyes where little blue beads that seemed to follow you everywhere. I'm glad she was gone. I f I had kids I wouldn't' trust her to take care of my kids…
My kids ?!
Good Dende that day must have been boring.
"SO." Ms Aiko stared at me "Lunch break?"
I nodded
"Bored?"
Nodded
"Wish it wasn't you?"
I stopped for a sec, then nodded.
She giggled "You must enjoy it though."
I shoke my head
"Really?"
Nodded
"Well." She sighed "You must earn a lot though."
I nodded
"When I was your age." She began "I earned 200 zeni a week."
"Mines not much, just triple that figure." She looked at me perking her left eyebrow
"Fifteen times." I said finally " triple that figure fifteen times."
She broke into a smile and waved goodbye as I walked away.
Then it spoke to me.
"You really haven't kept in touch with her."
I froze. I remembered those words perfectly. For some reason I looked back at Ms Aiko who having a talk with another neighbour that I didn't really know our care for. Goten.
He said that.
Marron.
He meant her.
***************
My lunch break finished 20 minutes ago. However I didn't care I felt bad. Sometimes I think I'm twisted. How could I be so mean? One minute I complement then another minute I'm shredding someone's feelings. Goten, Goten. You dopey moron. Why did you have to be right?
I passed the kid's playground surprisingly on the way back to work. It's not so big but big enough to be classed as a private kids playing field. The trees in the park where heaving with pink cherry blossom leaves. I liked the fact it made the place look pretty or whatever but sometimes you wished it rained more in April. To pink.
I sighed. Marron was pink…
My cheeks became hot. What the hell was I doing? Marron pink. I liked Marron. I liked pink. No, I didn't! I hate pink! But any time I see Marron I think of pink. I was beginning to love pink. Pink was Marron. I was probably going pink. My mind was just going crazy.
All I wanted was to say sorry to her. But how was I supposing to say sorry now? I'D probably not see her for months, or even years. And then what will happen?
I couldn't think straight. I'd probably be worse at work. I headed into the playground. I needed to think. Sitting here often helped me sometimes. I came here everyday for 2 months after I broke up with Noriko. I didn't cry or anything but then I often felt sadden by the simplest things. I haven't been here since then but now I thought it would be a good time to go there.
The swings were occupied by what seemed to be by the Aiko and their sitter. I didn't really look at the sitter, just the kids who seemed to be transfixed by the story she was telling. The children where quiet. Itzu was in her lap while Aya hung around in the swing beside it. They looked happy especially the sitter who seemed extremely pleased.
I guessed it was no way I could think now with children around. So I walked away maybe I could take a nap once I was at work.Itzu was wailing his head off again.
"Maion…"
Maion? What kinda name is Maion. You could have called her Onion and it would have still sounded normal.
"It's not Maion is Marron dummy!" Aya rudely stuck her soggy tongue out at the little boy. Itzu immediately started bawling.
"Aya." Marron looked at the girl with stern eyes.
She actually was there. Aya was tugging her protesting her innocence in the situation. Marron still didn't believe her but wasn't cross and tried to comfort Itzu. Why hadn't her recognised her? For one her hair was down hanging below her shoulders. She was still in her normal outfit but the hair just made her different.
Aya suddenly seemed horrified when she looked at my direction.
"It's spaghetti Man!!!!!"
Spaghetti Man ? I looked behind me. No one was there.
I was spaghetti Man.
Marron giggled "Spaghetti Man?" She then saw me "Trunks?"
I must have blushed because Marron went really pink right after that….
**********
Nope not done yet

"Are you going to work?"
This was around and hour later. Marron dropped the kids off shortly after the spaghetti incidence. I changed in a cloud while Marron dropped them. It was 2:00 and I'd recon this was way past me lunchtime. We where in the city looking out for a store. The kids had made a shambles out of Marron's hair bands and she wanted to but new ones. Marron stared at me blankly. I still hadn't answered her question.
"Well no."
She didn't seem surprised or anything and smiled when we came to a store called "frill". Marron bought some stuff and came out looking much more happier. We walked together on the streets. I wore a dark pair of sunglasses. Marron didn't say anything but I guessed she really wanted to say something. I wanted to say something. We neared capsule corp and I finally had to pour out.
"I'm sorry."
She froze. She looked back at me.
"What for?"
I looked at her. She couldn't be serious.
"About what happened a week a go." I sighed "I'm just a bit of a jerk sometimes with no real reason. So…if you could forgive me…"
Marron melted. Well actually she hugged me real hard. I felt her chest squash against me and nearly fainted. Oh Dende.
I knew she was gonna react but not in this way. She was not hurting me but it came as a shock.
She pulled back and smiled "I forgive you."
I smiled . What a relief.
She started digging in her bag she pulled out something blue placing it in my hand.
"For you."
Then she left. This time happy. I looked at the blue cloth and clenched it.
Thanks Mar…TO BE CONTINUED
