"She is my baby sister!"
Mikarin looked at him in disbelief and could not say anything for a long time. It was the first time that Tatsuya acknowledged Takara as his sister infront of Mikarin.
She always thought that Tatsuya hated Takara, he despised her for everything Elle, her mom, did to him. But that wasn't the case. Tatsuya, in reality, never hated Takara. He also thought he did but no. He hated Elle and all that hatred and anger was directed towards Takara because she was an easy target to take his anger out than Elle, herself.But in all this chaos, he didn't realise how much Takara got hurt. She wasn't even responsible for anything but she, unknowingly, became everyone's target.
All this realisation struck Tatsuya too hard. He asked helplessly," What am I gonna do now?"
Mikarin patted his back to calm him down but didn't know any answer to his question.
Just like that, few days passed rather very slowly. Things were kind of going smoothly when another bomb blasted in the Kamazura house and that also on a very bad timing.
Hiroki was in his room, cleaning up this and that, looking very depressed. He sighed for nth time that day, too tired to deal with anything.
Min barged in his room with Mia to ask what was going on, as he was holed up in his room since morning. As soon as they saw him, the words they were going to say were all forgotten. They looked at each other, not knowing what was wrong with him.
Min asked timidly," Are you okay, young master?"
Hiroki looked at her with blank eyes and nodded.
Mia said this time," But, we don't think you are. Why are you so pale? Are you hurt? Do you want to go to hospital?"
Hiroki whispered," No, I want to be left alone."
Min frowned," But, you can't stay in here like this forever. If you want, you can tell us, what's wrong?"
Hiroki ignored them both and kept on doing his cleaning. He clearly didn't want them around.
Mia nodded her head in understanding to herself and dragged Min out with her.Min scolded her," We can't leave him alone like that."
Mia said plainly," I know. But he doesn't want anyone around. Let him be. We will talk to him later."
"No need.", someone said from behind.
The both startled ladies looked at that someone.
Mikarin stood infront of them with folded hands but her complete attention was towards Hiroki's room.
Min asked shamelessly," What does that supposed to mean?"
Mikarin glanced at her and said," He will be fine after sometime. Let him be."
Mia asked," What?"
Mikarin sighed and said," Tomorrow is our grandmother's death anniversary."
This one sentence was complete explanation about what was going on with Hiroki. They nodded their heads slightly and left for their respective works.
Mikarin stood there for long time, contemplating whether to go in or not. She paced around his door, thinking about what to say, but, she came up with nothing. Hiroki would not like to see her near him, at all, because of all the things she had done. And at the same time, she wanted to be by his side.Hiroki was known for being impulsive and sensitive when anything was related to Hannah (grandmother) and that's what scared Mikarin the most. Few years back, when Hiroki was still in high school, he got into a gang fight with bunch of gangsters on Hannah's death anniversary. Another time, he almost killed one of his classmates due to his rage. But these were all nothing compared to when he tried to kill himself to join his Gramps, wherever the hell she was. His suicide attempt was only known to Mikarin, and she wanted to keep it that way only.
And, given Hiroki's current mental state, it was very likely, he would try to kill himself again. She pulled her hair in frustration of what she would do.
