                       ~2001~
Sakusa pov:

" Sakusa" my dad puts his hand on my shoulder.

" It was your birthday today,and I couldn't buy you umeboshi. I'm really sorry....." 

" It's okay dad.i'm not hungry."
I smiled at my dad and stare at the bridge. He looked at me for a moment before looking away,teary-eyed. He knew I was hungry,but I was lying to avoid making him upset.
A couple walked right pass us.when the man dropped his money on the ground my dad quickly covered it with his shoe,and I look at him.

" I'll buy jjajangmyeon  for you with this." He mouthed.

I shook my head,smacked my dad's leg,grabbed the money,and started running up to the men, yelling at him that he had dropped his money. My dad called,but I ignored him.

The couple left with their money. A old woman with flowers on her bad approached me. " My word! You are such a good boy."

My dad,who was gazing down,turned to face the old women voice." Wah! you have a wide forehead and twinkling eyes,you have a auspicious face it's your birthday today? tell me the year and hour that you were born.

My dad pulled me behind him." Hey,lady we don't want buy your flowers."

The old women moved her glace to my dad." Oh dear..... your early years were unlucky....so you were born to a father like him. But it's not an ill-fated relationship. Having hard life early on means you're cleared for good fortune. You're washing yourself of bad luck."

My dad laughed." What bad luck?" How can you talk such rubbish to a kid just to sell flowers?" my dad turned at me." sakusa.just look,one day,I'll earn a lot of money,and buy everything you like,and your birthday present."

" Flowers?"

" Flowers are for birthdays!" the old women smiles and take one of them give to me.

"We don't want to buy your flowers!" my dad yells, making the old women flinch.

" But,dad flowers are good" I insist." You can just plunk one for me instead of buying them. So don't do dangerous think to make money."

"My goodness"

My dad look at me " sakusa, you're too young to think about things like that," he ruffles my hair,and hug me, trying to shoo of the flower women.

We heard sirens from a long distance away.

No one pov:

The scene was quite hectic and crowded. There was rescue boats on the river,and ambulances positioned along the river. A crowded had gathered to see the scene unfold. A few police were poking the river with a stick to look for anything when a police officer on board told them to go somewhere else,and suddenly a women, bloodless, stood up from the river.
When they located the body,they completely cover it with white cloth. The rescuers lay the stretcher with the women's body on it on the ground, revealing her face. The women was pale blue,stood a few meters away from her body, watching it be hauled away. Her eyes brim with tears as she noticed a man off in the distance. Pulling it all together,she looks towards the moon,her eyes filled with rage,and revenge,the place where is standing gurgles out water.
