My Heart Hates Me

Chapter 45 I have Questions To That Somebody

Kurosava searched through the old and weary objects kept inside the old attic. There were old toys, books, pictures and all other useless and rusty stuff.

The attic was filled with cobwebs and rats. Two huge mirrors were supported by the walls. It looked like an old child's playland-- provided how many toys it had. From dolls to mecha robots. There were drawing books and everything was laying there in the worst conditions they could be in.

Finally, he found a huge picture of Mr Hiomi and Mrs Hiomi. Kirito, about three years old, sat in his mother's arms while looking at the camera.

"I would have believed it was Kiroto..." He had green eyes just like Mr and Mrs Hiomi. The bottom of the frame read "Hiomi family"

"I didn't know your eye colors change when you grow up" Kurosava said with a wicked smile. He clenched the frame tightly "My stupid brother giving the entire enterprise to this brat... This brat who is not even his own blood!" He threw it aside and looked at his half baked reflection in the mirror.

The mirrors had a few boxes beside them. As he opened them, mice ran out from the boxes.

He looked inside. It had Kirito's pictures from his childhood. Age three, short black hair, healthy body and green eyes.

There were several other pictures of him. One which caught his attention was the seven year old Kirito. He was extremely thin, taller and has blue green eyes.

"It's hard to notice, but these are two distinct eye colors... and maybe two different people" Kurosava said. He took a picture of three year old Kirito and a seven year old Kirito.

He compared them until someone called out his name from below "Kurosava! Where are you?!" He walked down the attic.

"What were you doing up there?" Mr Hiomi asked. He was at Mr Hiomi's place that afternoon "I thought of looking what's up there" Mr Hiomi laughed "It's just junk. Look at you, you're all dirty now" Mr Hiomi said.

Kurosava looked into his eyes.

'Nope, Kirito's eyes don't look like this' Kurosava thought. "What is it?" Mr Hiomi asked. "Un... well, Mr Hiomi, I think Kirito is pretty stressed out lately" He said with a smile.

"Kirito is? Why?" Mr Hiomi said.

"Well, he had a huge fight in the office yesterday. People turned against him and he got pretty panicky. He didn't get an attack though. He barely managed it. But I don't think he'll be able to take another one of those attacks" Mr Kurosava said.

"Maybe I was too early to pass him down this business. He doesn't care for his health" Mr Hiomi said.

"No, I'm sure he can do it fine. But I think he needs a break. He isn't even able to spend proper time with his wife"

"You're right! My poor son... Should I send him on a vacation? That'll probably make him feel better" Mr Hiomi said as Kurosava looked at him with a smile.

Kirito sat in the hall of his apartment while looking into his laptop and drinking a can of beer. "Where is Vivian?" Mr Hiomi asked as he walked inside.
"Oh dad!" Kirito said as he moved the can away. "What brings you here?"

"I'm planning to give you a long vacation"
"Vacation?" Kirito said as looked up from his laptop. "Yes son, tell me where you wanna go. I'm gonna give you one month of vacation this Christmas"

"One month is a bit too long... I just need one week" Kirito said.
"Oh~ You've planned already? Where are you both going?"
"Philippines" Kirito said as he looked into his laptop. Mr Hiomi's smile quickly faded away "Why?"
