...
Complete silence. Not even a soul. Not even the ghosts, that I was sure lived in the basement, came to welcome me. I was sure they were home. The lights were on and the food steam was flying from the kitchen, to the front door. Their shoes were here as well. If there's one thing that I still have, deep in my bones, it's japanese etiquette.
I left my shoes and went straight to the kitchen. My phone was on airplane mode. As I made my way towards the couch, seeing that no one was in the kitchen, the stairs were creaking. The basement stairs.
1, 2, 3....
"убери тебя глупый призрак"
*uberi tebya glupyy prizrak*
(=get away you stupid ghost!!!=)
"Manahimeko?"
"Okasan?"
"Oh my! I didn't know you arrived. Weren't you studying in Russia? What are you doing here?"
"Okasan, I've already told you! On the phone... One week ago!"
"You did? I don't remember."
"Of course you don't... You were attending one of Tobio's games"
"Ah! I remember going to his game, just not you speaking of your departure, maybe you imagined you called me. Dear, I never got a call!"
Is she kidding? Seriously? She doesn't remember? I imagined it all?
Don't fuck with me! It was you who forgot, like always!
“So what have you come home for?“
" I- "
What do I tell her? She doesn't know I figure skate? She couldn't even fanthom it! I told her I'm going to Russia for an exchange program in a top school...
" My exchange program ended."
" It did?!"
"Yes okasan"
It was awkward. Our whole conversation. That's how you welcome and comfort your child??
" Then I guess you will take the high school entrance exam with Tobio."
" Yes."
She left... It's not like I could have survived this conversation for much longer... But still, you're my mother too.
I don't remember, the last time my mother hugged me. It must have been when I was a baby. Since I could talk, my mother never truly acknowledged me. Miwa was the beautiful and kind big sister, Tobio was the pride of our family, the only boy and volleyball prodigy. Grandpa loves him.
My father was married to his job, not my mother.
Being twins with Tobio, is awful. In any twin pair, there's always the sun, shining brighter than anyone, and it's shadow, not even moon. Wherever the sun goes, it leaves a shadow behind.
I turned on my phone. Millions of messages came in. Teach, Elena cussing me out, Viktor being a prick and... Yuri. He is angry. Ha!.. Of course he is. I left without a word. Teach is asking me to come back, telling me I still have chances... I know I don't. It's over for me. The only thing I loved, got taken from me. The least I could do it's give Yuri his chance of winning and surpassing Viktor, since now... I can't do it anymore. I am afraid. I am so afraid. Why?
Tears spilled out of my eyes. My passion, my reason for living, my everything! Got taken away from me! I was so close! So close to succeeding.
It's so frustrating! I worked so hard. I sacrificed so much! I hoped so bad!
My DREAM! IT'S SO FRUSTRATING!!
it's so frustrating... How weak I am.
