Never in a million years would I have thought that the first thing, that would happen to me when I woke up this morning, would be me, getting on a plane in a rush, running away from my problems. It wasn't my first time, yet I never expected to come back to the place which haunts me. Japan. You'd think I have great memories, being born there and all that... But no. Your loved ones make a place "home", but Japan wasn't my home. I had no one to make it home.
Seriously, what was I expecting when I came back here? That suddenly my family got a redemption ark and they love and treasure me? That they get on their knees and apologize?
I thought Russia beat that bichasses out of me already! Living as a young girl in Russia is tough. No one takes you seriously until you break someone's nose and take 3 shots of Vodka. I had a great teacher though. Not my figure skating coach. I mean, yes he is great, but Elena truly taught me how to survive. She was, after all, a 3 times divorced woman, who finally said "Fuck men !" and became a boss bitch. But for a woman, there is no safe place. Young or old, as long as some bastard wants to get in your pants, nowhere is safe. I knew the world was cruel and that life is unfair, but this was beyond my naive thinking. So I grew up. I matured. Time doesn't wait for me to "be ready" . Six or sixteen, your have to be strong, to protect yourself. So I got strong.
Thinking back, the reason I chose Japan, wasn't because of my hope that I could have a happy family. Yes, it played its part, but maybe I was aching for revenge. To show them that now, they are nothing to me. That now, I have friends of my own, dreams of my own, thoughts of my own. That I am my own person and that I won't live for my brother anymore.
"Miss?"
"Yes?"
"Everything alright?"
"Why of course!"
"Then, we arrived, it's ¥ 1,136.3"
"Here, spasiba!"
"Arigatō!"
Well, That surely was one hell of a monologue. It seems I arrived. Miwa graduated university a year ago and is currently job hunting, dad's at work, mom and Tobio...probably home.
I start walking. With each step I take towards the front door, I indulge myself in memories, now blurry, yet still recognizable. I open the door and let myself remember everything. That lamp dad got for Miwa's 10 birthday is still hung up near the mirror, Tobio's trophies still on the shelves, everything remained the same. The home cooked dishes smell, the way the floor is cracking every four steps. It seems nothing has changed. Well, noting except me and hopefully my family.
"Tadaima!"
