Chapter 4
At around six that evening, Haruka went to the Crown Arcade to meet her friends. On the way there, she was hoping that Serena would be there also. She wanted to talk to the girl about her music teacher, to know more about her, since she was sure that the lady was her mother. To find out more about her mother and maybe find something about her little sister. When Haruka arrived at the arcade, everyone was there except Serena.
"Hey guys! Where's Serena?" Haruka asked as cheerful as she can get.
"Hey!" The others called.
"Serena went home a while ago," Lita said.
"Yeah, did you need something?" Michiru asked.
"Uh, yeah, I wanted to talk to her," Haruka said. "Do you guys know where she lives?"
"Hai, she lives in your neighborhood," Raye said.
"Yeah, I think her street is Infinity Dr. and her house number is 4401," Amy replied.
"Thanks! I'll see you guys tomorrow, bye!" Haruka said walking out the arcade door.
Ten minutes later, Haruka arrived at the front gates of Serena's house. It took awhile for the gates to open. When it did Haruka drove into Serena's driveway and there she met the housekeeper, Martha, who was waiting for her.
"Konnichiwa! Miss Thompson," Martha greeted with a bow.
"Konnichiwa!" Haruka said as she also bows.
Martha led Haruka into the house and into the living.
"Miss Moon is on the phone right now. She'll be in with you in a moment," Martha said.
"Arigatou," Haruka said as she took a seat on the sofa.
"Would you like something to drink Miss Thompson?" Martha asked.
"Uh, coffee, please," Haruka said.
Martha nodded and left the room. Haruka looks around the room a bit and sees paintings from Peggy Jones and other famous painters. She can see that everything in the room is expensive. Moments later, Martha came back with the coffee and a pot of tea. Right after she enters, Serena enters.
"Gomen ne for making you wait," Serena said as she takes a seat across from Haruka.
"It's ok," Haruka replied as she takes a sip of her coffee.
"Miss Moon, dinner will be serve in an hour or so," Martha said.
"Ok, uh, Haruka would you like to stay for dinner?" Serena asked.
"Sure," Haruka said.
"Good, Martha remembers to set up another place," Serena said.
"Yes m'is," Martha said as she left the room.
"So, what brings you here?" Serena asked as she took a sip of her tea.
'Even though I know that you coming over here is because of mom's death. You want answers and think that I have them. And you're right, I do have them. *Sigh! * I guess I'll answer any questions you throw at me. Even if it means to tell you that I'm your sister.' Serena thought.
"You knew didn't?" Haruka asked.
"I knew what?" Serena asked innocently.
"That she's dead," Haruka said.
"Huh? Who's dead? What are you talking about?" Serena asked.
"Your teacher! The woman who taught you how to play the piano!" Haruka said loudly.
"You mean Ilene?" Serena asked.
"Ilene? That's what you call her?" Haruka asked.
"Look, why do you want to know if she's alive or not? What's it got to do with you?" Serena asked, even though she knew the answer clearly.
"She's my mother!" Haruka yelled.
"What?! Your mother? How could that be? Are you sure?" Serena question.
"Hai, I'm sure," Haruka said a little lower. "She's the only person who knew that song that you played in class this morning. She taught me that song, she was the one who created that song."
"Gomen ne, I didn't know," Serena lied.
"It's ok , but could you tell me if it's true? Is she really dead?" Haruka asked solemnly.
"Hai, she had past away a week ago," Serena said.
"How did she, how did she die?" Haruka asked.
"Cancer, more specifically Leukemia. She was diagnose with it four years ago," Serena said. "When we found out we did anything we could to get rid of it. From chemo to bone marrow transplant, it never lasted that long. All the treatments would leave her weak and tired all the time. She had loss a lot of weight because of it."
Haruka sat there listening as tears rolled down her face, Serena in the same state. Just reliving those days when she was there with her mother and seeing her mother trying to get through the treatments was depressing. Those days were the hardest days of her life.
"Three months ago, she caught pneumonia. Since she was already weak, bacteria, germs, and other microorganisms could easily get into her. She was getting sicker and sicker until she can't even get up from her bed in the morning. She'd have to stay in bed and have nurses and doctors take care of her. I remember her pale, thin figure laying in the hospital bed a few days before she died. My heart brakes as I stood there and look at her, I have wished so many times for her to get better. I've found many ways to help her feel better, we found the best doctors there is to take care of her. We gave her whatever she wanted and did whatever she wanted to do. She was a strong woman," Serena said. "That day before she died, she told me to give her oldest daughter a message."
Haruka immediately look up and stare at Serena.
"She did?" Haruka asked.
"Hai, she says that she was sorry for leaving and never being there to see you grow up. And that she loves you very much. She never forgot about you, you know? She spent years looking for you and your father, but we never found you two. The detectives that she hired had finally found out where you two were, but when they did find out, it was too late. She really wanted to see you one last time, but her body gave up on her."
"Do you know where my sister is? You've seen her before right?" Haruka asked.
"Hai, I know who she is. I also know where she is," Serena answered.
"Really? Where is she?"
"She's right here."
"You mean she's here in this house?" Haruka asked as she gets up and look around trying to find her sister.
"Hai, she's right here in this house."
"Can I see her? Can you call her for me?" Haruka turns around to Serena with pleading eyes.
"You've seen her," Serena said quietly, "you're looking at her right now."
Haruka stand there shock and speechless. She slowly walks up to where Serena's sitting, tears brimming in her eyes again.
"It's you? You're my little sister? You're Keneko?" Haruka asked as she kneels down in front of Serena.
"Hai, Ruka. It's me," Serena cried, with soft smile on her face.
Haruka quickly gathers Serena in her arms. She hugs her fiercely, Serena responds to her sister embrace and let her tears flow freely. They sat there holding each other for a while. Until Martha came in to announce that dinner was ready. Serena sits up and gives Martha a smile, as she nods her head.
"We'll be right there Martha," Serena said as she wipes her eyes.
"Why don't we go wash up and get ready for dinner?" Serena asked as Martha left the room.
"Sure, let's go," Haruka said as she gets up.
"Follow me," Serena said as she takes Haruka's hand and leads her to where the bathroom is to wash her face.
During dinner, Serena told Haruka how she and her mother have lived in the States. She told Haruka stories about their life, as Haruka told Serena about her and her father's life. After dinner, Serena gave Haruka a tour of the house, then they settled in the family room. Serena showed Haruka pictures of their mother and Serena. Serena also showed Haruka the videos that were recorded during Christmas, birthdays, and other occasions. Serena and Haruka spent their time catching up with each other and filled each other in on their lives.
"We should tell Father that you're here," Haruka said.
They are sitting on the sofa, watching one of Serena's performance.
"Hai we should. Why don't you call Father and ask him to come over?" Serena suggested. "Or we could set up a time and place to meet."
"I'll call him right now and ask him to come over," Haruka said as she picks up the phone that was on the table next to the sofa. A while later, she hangs up the phone.
"Father says that he's busy right now. So, we'll meet him tomorrow," Haruka said.
