For Father's Day it was planned for us to be at sea on one of my father's small yachts. The day stared off early. Holy wakes Okuyasu and I after making sure her parents were awake. I got dressed after taking a moment to fully wake up.
She made everyone a large breakfast. Again Holy's cooking is as good as my mother's. After everyone ate and helped out with cleaning the kitchen, we finished getting ready for the day.
A black limo drives up and stops in front of the gate. "Papa did you order a limo to come by."
"Yes. Today is a special occasions." The driver comes out and opens the door that faces the gate. With glee and excitement Okuyasu and Joke jumped into the limo. Everyone else came in calmly.
Believe it not that was the first time Okuyasu and I rode in a limo. It took about three hours for to get to the dock. When we arrived we got out of the long car and got onto the yacht. It was pure white and not as big as your typical yacht but still a good size.
The captain greeted everyone with a handshake. The limo left as we set out onto sea. Okuyasu looked out at the view of the blue ocean. Holy, Suzi, and my father sat on fold out chairs there already set up.
Shizuka was on Holy's lap. I walked up to Holy and asked, "Does he always do something big for Father's day?"
"No. I think this year is special because it's the first father's day with Shizuka and you."
"Josuke let's go swimming. " Okuyasu shouted as he came up from below in his swimsuit. He ran in the rail and jumped in without a thought. I got on my swimsuit and joined him. At some point Holy joined us.
Three hours later
I wanted to take a break from swimming. I got out of the ocean and joined my father who was on the deck with Shizuka. Suzi was napping next to him on the left. I sat next to him in an open chair on his right, drying myself off with a towl. "There's cool water in the ice box next to my chair."
"Thanks. Can I ask you something?"
"What's on your mind?"
"How did you find me?"
"I knew about you before you were born."
"On the last day I saw your mother she told me she was pregnant with you. I gave her enough money to take care of you without worry and grieve." Now that he mentions it mother was always able to provide shelter, clothing, and food with a job. The rest was just a few pleasures to be enjoyed.
"One day I decided to have a friend who's a private investigator to check on you and your mother to see how things were for you both." He looked sad like he had regret. "I'm sorry for not being there for you and hurting your mother but I couldn't leave me wife-"
"Don't worry about it. I'm not mad and we were able to get by."
He smiled as he gave me Shizuka. She gabbed my nose and tried to squeeze it. "Sorry I didn't get you nothing but a card."
"That's plenty for me. Thank you." Everyone else came out of the ocean and back onto the yacht.
That night
We arrived back to Holy's house. Everyone was so tired they we all went to bed. When I got to my room I crashed onto my bed.
