Toji's POV

My phone rang and the caller ID showed Naobito's name. I wonder what was wrong? It was 5am in the morning when he called. I slowly lifted my wife's head and removed my arm so that she won't wake yet. I took my phone and went to the front porch then answered the call.

"Uncle." I said.

"Do you have time to meet at my house in 2 hours?" He said. "There is big news from the main house, and it still concerns you."

I let out a sigh then he started talking. "I know that you don't care about what's going on in that place, but you're still family." 

"Just spill it." I said. Just the mention of the main house is enough to ruin my whole day. But then, he said something that rang into my ears.

"It's about your father.

I'm afraid his time is limited."

******************

"What's wrong, love?" Yumiko asked me. 

"Naobito wants me to visit him. Will you be alright in here?" I asked her. It's... 2 weeks before her due date, and I'm very nervous. Everytime I think about the time when she will give birth to our son, it scares me to the bone. This dilemma crushes my heart. I'd choose both of them to live if it were possible. I love the both of them. I walked to her and kissed her then kissed her tummy. She caressed my hair and smiled.

"I'll be fine, I have Takeru here with me." She said. I smiled then kissed her forehead. 

"I'll be back as soon as possible, alright?" 

"Bye, honey." She said. I waved to her then went straight to Naobito's place with Toya. This nervousness that I feel towards my father, it was unusual for me. There was a silent pain lingering inside my chest, but it disappeared when I breathed out, only to come back when I breathe again.

I walked to the living room as soon as we arrived, and Naobito was there with Naoya. Naoya was playing with a rubix cube while frowning. His whole expression changed into a happier one when he saw me and Toya. 

"Toya, help me with this!" He said. Toya chuckled.

"You've been solving that for days." Then he sat beside Naoya. Naobito and I went to the kitchen and one of his helpers served us tea. After a sip, he spoke.

"Your father had a sudden heart failure." He sighed then proceeded. "Everyone suspects it's because of his excessive intake of alcohol, and some... some called it as some kind of karma." 

"Well... I can't say that it's completely possible to be the second one..." I sighed. Naobito handed me a glass of beer and I took it. "His alcohol consumption is the only thing we can think of."
