Salamat!
"Dear! They just landed!" excitedly burst by the fashion icon to her husband who just finished preparing and donning his slick and class look since he is a renowned and international legend actor.
Noticing a young man all slump on their fancy leather couch, "And who is this homeless guy in our couch?" peeling off the thin blanket of the guy's face, his wife sighed knowing her son has been rebelling from her stern husband.
"Koudi, your dad is greeting you" she gently tapped him, making the young man glare at them.
"Right, I forgot I'm home on weekends" he groaned, "Yeah, by the way, I'm Tim, nice to meet you" his young son sarcastically greeted and rolled his eyes, "I see you're leaving early."
"We're about to pick up your brother and his girlfriend at the airport, go clean - up" Kuu tossed the blanket back to him.
The boy in cargo shorts and plain hanger shirt shrugged, "No need, I'll be leaving with my friends anyways" with that said he left his father upset.
Kuu might be known to be a loving father but he is stern when it comes to his children, well, the youngest since he is always the one whose home and because what happened to their eldest because he wasn't disciplinarian became aggressive and was caught into multiple trouble – his wife placed a hand on his shoulder and shake her head knowing the boy became distant after that event with the oldest. Kuu wanted to be stern to his youngest to avoid what happened, he is just glad that he isn't getting into trouble with the authority like his oldest.
"I'm excited we're going to get our son, Kuon back!" she said, "And he'll also bring his dear Kyoko!" she squealed, "Our family is complete" with that said Kuu smiled and forgot his other son's behavior.
It wasn't long when they arrived to the airport and met their son and his lady, "It's been long, I missed you sweety!" Juliana Hizuri held her son tightly as she had missed him for years, Kuu did the same but was delighted to see his adoptive daughter who took care of him while he was in Japan, on their way back they talked about things catching up for the years until.
"I didn't see Koudi, where is he?" smiled by Kuon asking and his father's smile turned upside down.
"He has some friends to meet, too busy to see his brother back" with that said Kuon could not blame his brother's withdrawal towards him since he was never a brother to him, "I don't know about that boy being rebellious all of a sudden" sighed Kuu.
"He is sweet and caring, but I don't know why he turned out like this" Julie pointed.
Upon arrival, Kyoko looked around the spacious and beautiful home, walls are decorated by paintings and framed photos, Kuon or she had known her love as Ren's photo as a child hangs on the walls, together with his brother and parents, however there were more photos of him than his baby brother, the same goes for the framed photos displayed over the grand piano.
Ren's photos from magazines cut out and placed to a frame, magazines as well that featured him was displayed, including hers.
"Go rest dearies, we know you are tired, you can just come down for lunch later" smiled Julie and Kuu patted his hon and gave him a tight hug thanking him for finally coming home.
Lunch and dinner came and there was a no show for the person they saved the other plate, Kuu was upset knowing his son ditched the family and his brother for friends.
Morning came and Julie woke up extra early to clean her son's room assuming her boys are like a bit of her husband when it comes to cleaning up rooms, Koun does the same, "Mom-san, do you want help?" asked Kyoko with a smile and agreed.
However after entering the room it was spotless, the corner where his long corner table with his two monitor PC with neat neon color lights for keyboard and mouse with his CPU, matching his big fancy gaming chair, shelf full of advance books, beside his bed has a corkboard placed with photos of him and his friends, a locker type shelf at the side with his airsoft guns and his guitar stand.
On his neat bead is his ukulele, Julie was surprised that her son is neat to his things and the things she gave him were all still in a box and sealed in one corner, however after turning her head she saw the trash bin full of garbage.
Seeing what it was, she was shocked to see the items, a framed award with his achievements, crumpled certificates and gold medals, reading the contents she had to cover her mouth as she was shocked how smart her baby is.
Ranking top one in their private school and winning the state chess championship, she couldn't believe why she and her husband didn't know about it, "Kuu! Darling!" shouted by Julie and her husband rushed, poor Kyoko confused.
"What is it darling?" asked by Kuu in a rush – Julie showed him the items and he took it from her hand and read as well, he looked shocked as well. Kyoko rummaged the bin only to find a sad picture of Koudi showing the framed certificate and wearing the said medals.
On cue Koudi arrived and he wasn't happy to see his mother going through his things, snatching the awards from his father's hand and shoving it back to the bin headed straight to the garbage outside bumping to his brother on the process, he threw the items, shocking his parents on what he did, "Rachester, pick me up…" with that said, "Yes, I'm getting my stuff now." and after that he sat outside and his mother didn't have the courage to go to him and ask.
"Mom?" called Kuon to Julie and showed a piece of paper he found on his brother's study table, it was a recommendation. Reading the article she was yet again shocked that her son just accepted the invitation where he is to study in another country, she was dumbfounded and hurt knowing another is leaving without a word and this time maybe for good after what happened.
Their house helper with sullen look walked in, "I see that you found about it ma'am?" The Nanny of their two children spoke, "If I may ma'am?" she politely asked.
"Please" replied by Julie in tears, Kyoko and Kuon comforting her with a confused look and concern.
"Ma'am, Little-Big that time has been calling and telling you about his upcoming event and hoping you would attend, I feel so bad for him so I uhm… went there and at least he has someone… you were both busy in Japan that time" The old woman holding a dried flower in a frame with a short letter of appreciation for her.
"When was it?" Kuu asked still shocked at what is currently happening, his fear is coming back since this is similar when Kuon had to leave suddenly.
After she told the date, they realized it was the day Kuon had his award as best actor – the couple had to disguise and join the president to attend their son's awarding, Julie is about to die from guilt feeling bad that the boy felt unwanted and left behind, Kuu also felt bad to what he has done.
"Thank you, Nanny Marry" Kuon hugged the old lady, "Thank you for coming for him" Kuon's tears fell as he felt guilty for what is happening to his brother.
"Ma'am, yesterday Little-Big came home to take some of his things and let you know he is leaving, but he was upset with Mr. Hizuri and left to stay at his friends' instead and he is about to leave on Monday after his headmaster informed him that he will be enrolled earlier." with that said the family panicked knowing it would be tomorrow.
"Please take-out his thrown things from the bin and clean it. We'll look for him!" said Kuu in fearful panic scrambling looking for his keys, wallet and everything he needs, afraid that his son would fly to whatever country it is without a word and leaving them in hatred.
"Sir, I think if he's not with his friend Richard Rachester, he's in his dorm" with that said the family rushed to drive where he is – no luck finding him in the Rachester residence, they went to the dorm only to be told that their son already left with a bag, his dorm room already cleaned with his clothes out, leaving his pillows and other things.
"He's at the airport" Kuodi's best friend secretly message Julie. With haste they reached the airport in top speed. Arriving they found Koudi with his duffel bag and back pack, sitting with his four best friends, their son in tears giving his closest the tightest hug he can give. Julie run up to him and hugged the boy who's trying to gently push her away, he wasn't yelling, but rather growling in anger
"Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be with your good son? Leave. I know you don't event want me so I'm doing you a favor." With that said, Kuu's hear sank and left him speechless, Kuon and Kyoko were stunned and frozen on their spot, Julie being comforted by the four bestfriends as she cried. With his flight being called he stood and left, his friends gave his parents a sad look and shaking their heads that they were unable to convince him to stay.
"While we try to battle to take you home, we didn't know we're losing one who has been there for us, trying to please both. I know I was harsh but all I wanted is to have him stay in line and avoid being in trouble with the law." said Kuu with a sigh in defeat.
"We can't blame him…" said Kuon. "It's my fault that you had to be strict towards him." Kuon blaming himself and Kyoko hugged him in support.
"It's like history repeats itself, but this time I made things worse." Kuu stated and just sat on the floor shocked at what is going on, Julie cried harder as she watches from the widow the plane her son is currently on board.
Heading back home in defeat, being followed by Koudi's friends they gave his mother photos of him where he is smiling, but his smiles were all sad if looked deeper, Julie thanked the boys for trying. Keeping it she placed it on a new album.
The medals and the crumpled certificates, and framed awards were fixed and placed on a wall with their son's photo to show his achievements which they overlooked. Kuu finally knew why his son is always tired after the boys told him that his son worked two part time jobs for his allowance and refused to receive one from his parents.
Kuu failed to realize that his youngest is matured and understanding in his own way, but he made things worse by being an asshole of a father to him. "I could have at least told him I love him." Julie's tears streamed from her cheek while holding her husband's hand, "I'm the worst."
