Author's Note: Dear Guest: Yes, maybe he was a little cold and insensitive to the note of one word, making her think anything except it was for love. But we gonna see what happens later. I thank you very much for reading. Greetings. :)
5.- Blues and Greens.
Two days later, Kaori was home, in her room, sitting on a futon, staring into space, she was very depressed, had hardly eaten anything, but the doctor told her to feed well if wanted that children to grow correspondingly in her belly.´
She thought about all that had happened, and cried a lot. Until a doctor was offered to her, the option of having uterine curettage, if she wanted to end it all at once. But, those two words alone made her tremble from head to toe. Decidedly Kaori said no, she would have her babies, taking responsibility, no matter what.
But now, she feels not ready for anything, was alone in this, but she had friends, she had her grandfather, and thanked them, anyway was not the same. It was like having a child made with love, true love, and she was two. The only love she felt now was one that grew each time inside her. She looked at that ultrasound picture was now stuck on her wall, and were those who had inside. Her tears ran with a strange mixture of feelings, saying, "Yes, I can." And then "No... I cannot do this. "
The old Jin did not know what to do, he had decided to let her alone a while, but he would not allow his lovely girl will hurt herself, was very concerned about not seeing her eat, so do not wait any longer, and that night was to her room, carrying a tray with a bowl of hot soup, a bowl of white rice, a cup of tea and cooked fruit. He knocked on the door and entered.
- Kaori? I brought you something to eat... Why is it so dark in here? – He turned on the lights, and there she was, still sitting on the futon, wearing her long sleeve pajamas red silk shorts, arms hugging her knees and eyes swollen from mourn.
-I do not want to eat anything Granpa, sorry if you bother much for me. - Her voice was so off and trembling, rubbed her eyes in the light. The ends of the sleeves of her pajamas were wet so many tears that had been there. Her hair was a mess, disheveled and loose down her face.
-For me it's not annoyingly, do not say that. Also, this is delicious; I just prepare it for you three. - Grandfather smiled, trying to cheer her up.
- Three? - Repeated Kaori in question and looked up at him.
Jin nodded, smiling nonstop.
- Exactly, three, you and that naughty couple who are on the inside. - He pointed his finger at her belly. -I can imagine as they jump and run around the house, making mischief, and we hear all day their laughter and tears, haha... figure it is nice and it will be nice to see that, do not you think so? - He waited for a reaction from the redhead girl.
She did not remove her eyes from her grandfather, and began sobbing; his words were so beautiful that she could not help cry again. So she left her position and hugged the old Jin.
-Grandpa, my dear Grandpa... I'm sorry... I have been so selfish locking me here on my own darkness, I never thought about your feelings. I never asked you felt about this... I never asked if it was an inconvenience to you.
He gently patted her back and hugged her back, massaged her a bit. He closed his eyes showing a smile; Jin had thought about things and spoke earnestly.
- You know my little? I was also surprised when I heard about your pregnancy, it was like a stab, but I do not mean anything bad. I mean it was kind of sudden... this was something I expected when you were married and that, you know, it would be normally. But, It's okay, you're a grown woman and your life is yours. I'm happy for you, no matter what. You do not think that you have disappointed me, is the opposite, I am proud that you want those kids with you, regardless. - Releases a moment of that hug and looks into her eyes, sighing. - But... if you do this, you do things right now, and I do not want to see sad faces anymore, no more guilt no more tears, those two babies need their mother very well, healthy, and... full of food for them. So… go ahead.
Jin finishes speaking, and puts the tray of food in front of Kaori. She takes it and smiles at him finally.
-Thanks Grandpa, you do not know how much I appreciate this... It means too much. - Start with the soup, the truth was much needed food, and this vitamin ramen dish was great and delicious, her grandfather knew what he did, there was not a food there that she could vomit.
Upon finishing her bowl of ramen, she made a final negative comment towards herself.
-The truth... this depressed me, because making this in this way, knowing that my children were the result of a simple night of unbridled lust, motivated also by alcohol, makes me feel... like a slut.- She took the next dish, white rice, but first took a sip of tea. - I promise you Grandpa, I will not let this get to me... I will listen to you and bring up these children, no matter what.
The old man was glad to hear that, he bowed his head slightly and smiled.
-Eat more, my child... - It was all he said. He waited for her to finish. The understood her suffering by what she said, anyway.
Half an hour later, Kaori had been satisfied with the dinner, she felt better, and hoped that her babies will feel the same. Then she remembered something she wanted to comment with Jin.
- You know Grandpa? The day that Doctor said I was pregnant, before the moment that I woke up in the hospital ... I had a strange dream. I dreamed of a couple, maybe my age would... had a man, he had red hair and a vivid blue eyes, the woman, who appeared to be his wife, had long brown hair, and her eyes were beautifully green, they were holding hands, looked at me and smiled while saying "Congratulations." - sighed very intrigued. -I could not stop thinking about that dream...
She finished speaking, and Jin left the room in silence, taking the tray with empty plates.
- Grandpa? - Kaori noticed a bit of nostalgia in the old man's eyes, but after about five minutes, he returned, with something in his hands, was a book... a bible. Jin opened it and took out something from this. It was an old photograph.
-Some time ago I should show you this, my child. Things happened so fast, I could never find a good time to speak about. - He reached the photo giving it to Kaori, she opened her eyes wide, was a family image, the same couple she had dreamed, brown haired woman sitting in a pasture surrounded by white flowers, holding a baby in her arms and the red-haired man sitting next to her, his hands on her shoulders. That photograph, radiated so much happiness that Kaori could not help cry.
- Why? Why am I crying? I do not know who they are, but... this image is so beautiful... than...
-They're your parents. - Jin said immediately. - That was all I found about them, after the accident.
- What? What are you talking about? - Kaori obviously knew she was an orphan, but did not know how exactly her parents died, and was so happy with her grandfather, who she never asked.
-Accident on the road, I was there when it happened. Do you remember I worked for a police department of Osaka? Well, my team came when it all happened... but I will not go into details, just that it seems that nobody saw you among the twisted iron of the car, that might have crushed you, but you were miraculously unharmed. Was when Mako was still alive and both decided to adopt you. - He told her briefly.
-Mako-Grandma... I miss her. - She smiled, and did not stop looking at the picture, after a few seconds she looked at her grandfather. -Thanks for telling me this. She was glad, apparently her parents were happy, they were where they were... – Can I keep the photo?
Jin was a little surprised, he thought Kaori be angry with him for not telling anything about her parents before. -Sure, it's yours. Now, go to sleep, and rest well - Was all he said, and stood up, it was late; he would also go to sleep.
-Thanks for all grandfather. - Finally she said, Jin left the room, satisfied by all. Meanwhile the redhead stood up, took a pin from a transparent box that was full of them in a drawer, and put the picture of her parents in the wall next to the ultrasound of her children. After that action, went to sleep calmer.
It took four months; Kaori was still working on Towkyo hotel, but at a pace that will stay well with the routine. By the fifth month she quit her job, could not go on, she had twins, and was twice the weight, her belly was quite big.
One day before she leaving for Osaka, to be finally home, Kaori visited a gynecologist that someone had recommended her, after consultation she went very happy, it was her fifth month and she could recognize the gender of her little ones, she was given a new ultrasound and jealously guarded as she had done with the other, month by month.
Suddenly in her way, she found Chuki and Shu, were walking after shopping, Shu was pushing the Garou's stroller, had already spent a couple of months, and it showed the physical change in the child.
-Well, guys, Garou is increasingly cute. - She looked at him and smiled. - He is a charm. -
-Kaori. - The pink haired suddenly changed the subject. - Do not tell me you were married, you're a bad friend! Who is him? Do I know him? - Chuki thought anything else, trying to get information to the redhead at her belly.
-Yes, Chuki, you know him, but we're not married. Do you remember our conversation a couple of months ago in the train station? Regarding... My little slip with "A certain person." - Kaori smiled a bit nervous.
- Oh! - Chuki almost gone backwards. - Do not tell me that... Francesco...! - She covered her mouth with one hand, but still could not help crying through. - Francesco's baby! I cannot believe it. When are you going to say it to him? Or did he know? –
-Babies... - Corrected Kaori. –They are twins and no, I'm not going to say him, and he doesn't need to know. These are MY babies, and I know he will never return, so... happy life for him, we will live ours. - She said proudly superficial.
- Twins? Oh my God... but... but Kaori. Why did not you going to tell him? He can give you the financial support you need for them, and also are HIS children. - Chuki looked at her distraught.
-I don't care, I will not, I decided, he can live without the kids, I know he will not mind... who knows if irresponsibly he has others children out there, with actresses and models that you mentioned... - Curiously, her voice began to sound crisp, and her eyes were on the verge of crying, but she endured, she would not cry in front Shu and Chuki, and she had promised not to shed more tears because of Francesco.
Shu was silent, gestured to Chuki to stop asking questions and comments to the poor Kaori, he knew his wife was very persuasive because of her work as a reporter, but when it came to a certain point, it was better to stop her. At this time Chuki was not in her work, not the time. Although sound juicy, that the famous Italian racer will be happening this, and he unknowingly, it was a perfect moment to kill his perfect profile.
The pink-haired understands Shu gestures, and puts a hand on the shoulder of Kaori, apologizing.
-Sorry, I do not intend to open wounds. –
-Do not worry, Chuki, I am very sensitive to this, but I guess that is normal. - After that, looked at her watch. - Oh, guys would you excuse me? I have to go; I have a lot to do before returning to Osaka tomorrow.
-Sure friend, please keep me informed about your pregnancy, call me from time to time. - Chuki hugged Kaori, and Shu did a little reverence to say goodbye. Each finally took their way.
During the following months, the redhead bought with her savings and with the settlement of her work, all she need for her children, things were more expensive since everything was in pairs. But she did not care, Kaori was happy to do this. And her grandfather helped, accommodating also one of the biggest rooms in the house for her and the twins.
