Haunted Ex
Unbelievingly
The second day, three o'clock in the afternoon Tokyo time and its surroundings...
The afternoon nuances are starting to be seen in this snow season. The green leaves are endlessly laced with snowflakes that reconcile the heart. The cold weather makes the residents have to wear a coat to warm the body. So did Ken who came to the hospital, where Shena was treated. He was wearing his blue coat.
Inside the nursery, Hana is sitting with Nara on the corner sofa of the room. Accompanied by a warm cup of tea, Hana tells Nara about Shena's childhood. There was also a sense of shock in her heart when Nara found out that Shena and Rie were one father's brothers.
Nara was so embarrassed. Not ashamed of Hana who did not know the true events, but he was very ashamed of himself. In his mind, there was a sense of wanting to end life immediately because of such great shame. But he thought again, if not the time to do such a stupid thing.
Oh my God .. how great a mistake I made.
Right now Nara just wants to repay all the kindness that Shena has given her. And make amends for all the mistakes in the past with the ex who loved him so much.
"Nara."
Suddenly the door of the room opened from the outside, seen Ken who came alone wearing his blue coat. He stands at the door and codes Nara to leave the room.
"Just a minute, Hana." Nara asks permission on the sidelines of her conversation with Hana.
Hana also agreed. He then walked up to Shena and rubbed the sweaty forehead back on Shena.
Outdoors...
"Ken?" greet Nara while closing the door of the room.
The two leaned against the door wall of the room where Shena was being treated. There seems to be some news that Ken must tell his best friend, Nara Shimura.
"Hn, I don't know where to start, but you need to know this, Nara." Ken leaned against the left wall of the room door.
Their distance was only separated by the door of the room. Nara was wearing a black sweater with long sleeves.
"Nara, Shena is still in a coma as well as your father," Ken continued immediately.
"My dad?!" Nara is shocked by Ken's news.
"Yes, your father was hit by six stabs in the stomach and in the chest while trying to protect Rie from the bandit gang" Ken said.
"How did you know?" Nara is excited to see Ken.
Ken crossed both his arms and legs. He lowered his head in thought before continuing his words to Nara.
"Your father was found covered in blood in front of an apartment quite far from here. When people found your father, there was a Rie-identity bag lying next to him" Ken later said.
"What?!" Nara is surprised, she does not expect if her father really protects Rie.
"If the incident is investigated further, it will happen before nightfall. It was likely Yudo who sent the bandits to kidnap Rie, but your father fought back." Ken took his breath.
"God ...."
I don't know what's in Nara's mind right now, he looks very hit with the thing rumored by Ken, his best friend. Nara did not expect that the father would be willing to sacrifice himself to protect Rie.
"Sorry, Nara. I have to tell you. You should know before any other problems occur. You're like my brother, I can't keep it to myself" Ken continued, patting Nara on the shoulder.
There is shame in Nara when she hears Ken's words. Ken is the only living witness to the problems that have befallen his family. And now it was Ken who reported this news to him.
