Epilogue Thirty-Seven: Happy Birthday Kotomi! (Part One)
I woke up with my body feeling so heavy. I looked at my side, Kotoko's not there anymore. The pillows have been arranged like it was never been used last night. I glanced at the clock on the desk beside the bed. For a good time's sake, it's seven forty-five am. I sighed heavily. It always has been like this. I got out of the room and looked where everybody is.
The vivid vibrant of the living room... and the familiar giggles never surprised the hell out of me. Yappari... I mumbled to myself. I clumped down the stairs for them to notice me. Yuki has been reading the first thing in the morning and I'm sure he was annoyed by the fact that Kotoko and Mom teamed up again.
"Ni-chan!" Yuki called me.
"Ni-chan!" Mom seconded.
And then Kotoko turned around...
"Oh my, Irie-kun!" she's so lovely in this bright morning, and she puckered her face before me and I got annoyed by it. "Ohayou!" she added with that kind of smile. Anyway... "Kotoko!" I yelled at her. She stopped and stepped back, "W-what? Did you have a nightmare again?" she hesitated. "Not that!" I can't help but be mad. Of course, I am very grateful that she was fine... that she has begun to do the things that she usually does but... seemed like even if I got used to it... doesn't mean that I have to endure it. She's doing it again. "Why are you so mad, Irie-kun?" she recalled and tried to touch me. "You forgot to wake me up, you know that I have to report at eight in the morning, look at the time! It's seven..." and then I thought to halt for a bit. Why I am so angry?
"Ah, soo ka! Gomenasai, Irie-kun! Wasuremashita!" and she clutched her head, hoping that I will forgive her. I turned around, realizing that there was no good of talking to her about that.
Yeah, I should be glad that things went back to normal. That's the only thing I could think of to survive this again. No matter what I do, I really can't handle them.
And speaking of...
"Where's Kotomi? Did you already take care of her breakfast?" I asked her when she followed me in the kitchen. I took a piece of bread and a jam and I put it in my mouth while waiting for Dr. Makiato to answer the call. I was about to pour myself a coffee when she blurted it out, "Ah, Irie-kun. Since you are going to be late anyway, why don't you feed her for now? I still have to help Oka-san in the preparation of her birthday! I wanted it to be wonderful! It's her first birthday anyway!" she looked at the ceiling with her fists up, ready to go a battle with her kind of determination.
"Huh? Ore ga?" was all I could say.
And she faced me again, eyes twinkling. I don't get it why she was so hyped of all over this. "I will tell Dr. Makiato that you are going to report at one pm! Don't worry about it! He'll agree on it. Hihihi." she clasped her hands as she finally entered her imagination. "Dou kana... I'm sure it will be the best birthday party ever! I wanted everything to paint with pink! With full of balloons and such! And I wanted a tower of gifts! I wanted to have a dance party... a buffet! Oh! And there's more! I wanted to invite a celebrity! I put my money on it!"
I looked at her. I can't believe that she got that far. I hissed. What the hell. She was so really excited about it. "Ja... you need millions of money to have all of that. You took a long furlough in work so you don't have any income for those months." I mumbled and sighed, a little problematic... I wanted to stop her and make her understand that she'll drain her energy on it. She just got out of that terrifying eye disease and she just started this day with a blast... at least she should have to think of resting for a while. But look at how she was so fired up right now... I don't know how I could force her to have it simple. She's Kotoko... and I always lose in a challenge with her.
