Forced Marriage

Disbanded

( Hello everyone, how are you all doing? I hope you all are doing fine. I am enjoying my holidays while writing this chapter for you. Okay then, let's start the chapter..... )

-----------------------------------------------------------

*At Hospital *

* TANJIRO'S POV *

I went to the medical room. Leo, Shoko and some other students followed us.
Miss Shinobu was already there.

" Shinobu san, please examine her. She fainted on her own. " I asked her worriedly.

" Sure Tanjiro! " She said. I was so worried about her. She never faint like that. Due to examining purpose, we were asked to stay outside the room.

" What's happening with Sho? Can you tell me Leo? She doesn't look like herself. She looks weak and pale. " I asked Leo.

" Actually mom is already suffering from insomnia and anaemia. She usually gets panic attacks in stressful situations. And recently due to lack of melanin, her hair has turned white. I am not able to help her in any way. Life has become cruel to her. " He said.

" I see, she has suffered like that because of me. I wasn't there when she needed me the most. I abandoned her. I am such a careless husband and a father. " I felt guilty.

" Don't say that dad, I am happy that you turned out to be my dad. All these years, I have been searching for my dad. I didn't know who my real dad is?
I am glad for that. But now, I want you to take care of my mom after her team got disbanded. PROMISE ME!!"
He started to tear up.

" I promise you that I will take care of both of you. " I said and hugged him tightly.

Then Shinobu san called us in.
" I have checked her, she is fine now. But make sure to not stress her. It's harmful for her health. Other than that, she is alright. " She said.

" Ok! " I said and soon she left.
After a while, Sho opened her eyes. All the students, Shoko and Leo including me were relieved. Sho is fine.

" Kamado san....
Leo, where are you? " She asked.
" I am here mom, please don't move. "
Leo said.
" Yeah, he is right. You are not fine right now. You need rest. I will escort you home since you are not in a great shape. After that, we will talk about the incident. " I said and took her to my home. It was because if Kanao got the clue of the incident, Sho would have to face the consequences.

* At Home *

" Mom, I want to know the truth from your mouth, is it true what Hanabi said? Is it true that Kamado Tanjiro is my father? " Leo asked her.

" Hmm, she is right. Kamado Tanjiro is your biological father. But due to some circumstances, I am not allowed to talk about him infront of you. " She said while making a sad face.

" I am here to listen to whole story. Please tell me what happened 14 years ago. What are the circumstances which led us to live like this? "He asked impatiently.

Then Sho told us how we met, how we were forced into a marriage, how she got into trouble during her pregnancy due to Kanao, and how she tricked her in the end after I left her. He listened to her patiently.

" I see, you both have suffered, aren't you? But you still wanted to live apart. Mom, I don't wanna go to that bitch's apartment again. Can't we stay here? " Leo asked.

" No Leo, it will trouble your mom since her contract hasn't ended yet. I am assuring you that we will meet again after her team get disbanded. " I comforted him.

" Sure, I will wait for you dad. Don't forget your promise! " He said.
" Okay, now me and your mom want to be alone. Can you leave us for a while? " I asked them.

" Ohh sure, have fun dad! " Shoko replied and winked at me. Hey, she is such a brat. Atleast, she took Leo with him.

* SHO'S POV *

Oof, Kamado san is great. He handled the situation without causing any trouble.

" Kamado san, I am sorry. Sorry that I didn't tell anything about my whereabouts to you. I am scared that you will also have to suffer like me. I am helpless. I don't know what to do. I get trapped in Kanao's plan due to my carelessness years ago.
But I am glad that you have raised Shoko well. I can see that she is loved by you. But I am such a failure as a mother. I am unable to take care of Leo because of my work. He is unloved and deprived from his own masculinity. I was not present for him when he needed me the most. " I blurted out everything. And then I started crying loud. All these tears which I had held back all these years started to fall down from my eyes.

Kamado san's eyes melted and he looked softly at me. He came near me and hugged me in his warm embrace. I felt nice in his arms.

" Don't worry Sho, we will make it together this time by thinking about each other. " He said.
" Hmm.. I guess so. " I replied.

* Show day *

I am ready for my last show. Everything is set. By the way, where is Leo? I hadn't seen him anywhere. Where is he?

" MOMMM!! " I heard a loud scream coming from Leo's room.

As I entered his room, I saw Hanabi with a knife which was around my son's neck.
" What the heck are you doing? Don't you dare hurt him! Her mom is still alive. Leave him this instant. " I threatened her.

" Ohh my, I got scared. Please save me. Well, it sounds fun now. You already broke the contract by meeting Tanjiro. Now, what should be your punishment? Should I just kill your son or something? " Kanao said while smirking.

" Please don't kill him, he is my only Sunshine. I can't live without him. How will I answer Kamado san like that? " I said. Tears started falling from my eyes. Leo too was crying.

" Aww, poor mother! Okay, I won't kill him. But you won't be able to see him from now on. I will keep him as a hostage with me and he will serve male customers. He is so sweet, right? They will surely love him. " She said while laughing like a maniac. And then she took him away with her.

" No, please don't take him. Please!!! " I sat there. The sight haunted me like a ghost. I don't know why such things happen with me?
Either way, I have to go for my show.
