Chapter 13: Calling Back
It took a little longer for me and Oni-chan to get to the dojo. For one thing, the minute we were out of the airport lobby, a call had come in for him that left him quite distraught. He had then asked the person to hold while he escorted me to a nearby coffee shop.
"What's wrong, Oni-chan?" I had asked.
"Businesses and all. I just have to take this call, if you don't mind, Jun-chan," and he had quickly left, still chattering on his cell phone.
Now, it's been almost an hour since he had started conversing. He wasn't anywhere I couldn't see. As a matter of fact, he was simply standing outside the coffee shop, still muttering away. I knew Oni-chan, just like any other Japanese men, was a workaholic. But...what work did he have besides being a master of our family dojo?
Then again, I really wouldn't know. My brother and I hadn't had much communication for five years...because of Jin. Jin! I almost forgot! I drained my cup of hot chocolate to the bottom and hurried outside.
"Jun-chan! Where are you going!" Oni-chan tore his ear away from the phone.
"I have to call Jin," I answered and hurried inside a nearby phone booth. It must've been just me, but I thought I saw my brother move further away, which was strange. After counting my money, I made the long distance call to my grandmother's house. The first ring had barely finished when the voice of an out-of-breath little boy answered.
"Mama?"
"Jin! How are you? How'd you know it was me?"
"You always keep your promises so I know you would call," he answered excitedly. "I miss you a lot, Mama. Big, big, big, a lot!"
"Me too, Jin," I almost choked my words. How I wished he were here right now! And again, not for the first time, I wondered how it would've been had he known about his new brother or sister. I could almost see Jin's face light up in the same way Oni-chan's had, had he the chance to feel his sibling's first kick.
"Mama? Why are you so quiet? Because you're in a hospital?" Jin asked.
"Uhm...yes," I forced the lie out. "Everyone's sleeping right now."
"Oh, you mean the babies?"
My breath caught.
"Hospitals are where babies come from, right?" Jin continued. "You told me that. Are you with the babies now?"
"Yes, Jin," I replied, putting a gentle hand over my belly. Even in Jin's innocent thinking, he may just have an innate knowledge of things. "I'm just...watching them through the glass...thinking about how cute you were when you were a baby."
"I wanna see the babies too," Jin whined. "All I've seen are baby animals. Maki told me about his little baby brother, who just came home from the hospital last night."
"The hospital nursery isn't a zoo, Jin," I reminded with a laugh. "By the way, where's your grandmother?"
"She's asleep. She's too tired and too old to play long."
"You have to be a bit understanding, Jin. Take care of your grandmother. And you should sleep now, too."
"But I want to talk to you long, long, long!"
"I'm sorry, Jin. I have to go," I turned to look at my brother, who was gesturing for me to come out. "The doctors are calling. I'll call you again tomorrow, alright?"
"Alright..."
"Blow me a little kiss, there."
He smacked his lips on the phone.
"Good night, Mama. I'll wait for your call tomorrow."
"Be good, Jin. Goodbye," after a short pause, I cradled the receiver.
