THE YOU OF THE FARTHEST LIMIT

Chapter 3:

Yabu opened the door of his apartment and couldn’t bring his self to smile like usual when he heard the shuffling of Ko’s movements to welcome him home. He waited until she rushed in front of him but as she did exit from he could guess the veranda where lately she grew fond, she stopped half way and stared at him then to the man who was next to him.

“I’m home” Yabu greeted and looked at Hikaru who was staring at Ko who was staring at him as well “I brought a friend home” he nodded down

“Yes, welcome back” Ko smiled then “Hi” she greeted Hikaru “My name’s Ko. How do you do?” she went on and stood close to Yabu to hide herself from their guest

“She’s uncomfortable with new faces but once she gets used to your presence, she’d be chattering nonstop” Yabu explained “But then he shouldn’t be a new face for you” he said then as he facedKo and ruffled her hair. Well, a year had been gone since that night he found her. Her hair had grown longer too since Daiki fixed it for her. Her unruly curls are now past her shoulder and most of the time she’d frown whenever it covers her face so she learned to tie it.

Settling in the lounge, Yabu sent Ko to fix something for them. And as she went to the kitchen, he turned to look at the man he brought with him.

“Why can’t she recognize me?” Hikaru asked

“She has lost everything. The time I found her, she couldn’t even remember her name. She speaks but it is very minimal and her doctor told me that she might have lost her grasp on words too and only speaks with those that are very basic” Yabu explained

“Then how come you found me? If she can’t remember me” Hikaru asked

“She sleep talks” Yabu said “She always mention your name and I searched for you through internet, I just gambled with the faith that the YaotomeHikaru, owner of big businesses is the one she’s mentioning in her sleep” he explained

“Then she couldn’t remember Hotaru” Hikaru said

“She mentioned her once” Yabu said then and looked at Ko who entered the room again

“Sit with us” Yabu invited then but Ko stared at him for a moment before obliging. She sat next to him and then looked at the man across them, her eyes watching him with wonder.

“Hi” Hikaru greeted and Yabu didn’t fail to notice the tremble in his voice “Should I introduce myself to you?” he asked

“You’re Kota’s friend” Ko smiled and turned to Yabu to smiled “Like Yuya and Daichan?” she muttered

“No” Yabu shook his head “But he’s a friend” he nodded down

“My name’s Ko” Ko said then as she turned to look at Hikaru who blinked at her “I can’t remember my name so Kota let me name myself. I picked Ko since Kota’s the one who found and is helping me” she explained

“I see” Hikaru nodded down “But then, your name isn’t Ko” he shook his head

“Yes, listen Ko” Yabu started “The reason he’s here is because he’s someone who knows you” he revealed “His name is YaotomeHikaru and he’s your husband” he said

-----

Yabu knows that he’s acting on impulse again but he has to do something already. His friends are right, he’s keeping Ko for himself and he’s becoming possessive. The longer she might stay with him the stronger his desire of keeping her to himself. He doesn’t want to lock her to him. His purpose is to help her and not chain her.

He told about the situation to Daiki and Takaki and both seemed shocked to the rushed situation, that’s why he’s with Daiki as they drove to the driveway of a mansion. Hikaru gave him the address and he came along with Ko to see himself if it is true that Hikaru is her husband.

“Are you sure we’re in the right address? This is unbelievable” Daiki muttered as they got closer to the entryway of the mansion. Ko is seated at the back, napping since she tires easily even during short travels.

There are several men standing by the entry way as they approached. As soon as they climbed out of the car, these men assisted them towards the door which they opened and soon they were welcomed by an old lady and man who stared at Ko for a moment.

“Kei-sama” the woman called out and started weeping. She approached but surprised Ko who jumped close to Yabu.

“I’m sorry” Yabu apologized “She’s uncomfortable when people suddenly approach her” he explained

“I don’t like it here” Ko said then and tugged Yabu’s sleeve “Let’s go home” she said

“Ko, let’s stay for a while” Yabu assured her “Don’t worry, me and Daichan’s here” he nodded down

“I still don’t like it here”Ko shook her head

“Won’t you like to meet her?” Hikaru spoke then and all of them looked up to the stairs where he was descending. He’s holding on a child and Yabu was very sure that the child is the HotaruKo had called out for. “Hotaru” Hikaru said and the child perked her head up to look at him.

Yabu eyed the child who then turned to them. His breath left him as he stares at the child. Hotaru was the complete copy of Ko, no matter where he looks but something in her wholeness is proudly showing her fierce personality and it takes no fool to understand that she got it from her father, from Hikaru.

“Dada” Hotaru spoke then and clutched on her father’s shoulder “No” she shook her head, her baby curls swaying along

“I don’t know her” Ko spoke then and tightened her hold on Yabu’s arm “I don’t like it here!” she exclaimed then

“Ko, please. This is for your own good. They are your family” Yabu said then

-----

After making sure that Ko won’t suffer with any anxiety in a room where he left Daichan to accompany her, Yabu was now walking with Hikaru who was leading the way to somewhere.

“Both her parents are dead already. Her mother died after giving birth to her. Her brother died in an accident. He drowned. Her father was a respectful man. He’s raised Kei perfectly despite of his busy life with his company” Hikaru started “He died with heart failure three months after I and Kei got married” he nodded down “This is her old bedroom” he said and opened a door. They stepped in and Yabu looked around the huge room.

The room was delicate. A piano is seated close to the veranda door. Everything is almost white. There are dolls and stuff toys but what caught his attention most is the huge portrait hanging on the wall of the room. It was indeed Ko, no, Kei.

“She’s thirteen in that” Hikaru said “Even at young age, she’s already striking” he thinly smiled “I met her when we were ten. She’s older than me but only for months” he shrugged

“I only have one question” Yabu said then and made the man look at him “I found her a night a year ago, I can’t really explain her situation that time but it’s not right. She was beaten up and whatever done to her is inhumane. What happened a year ago before I found her?” he asked and watched as Hikaru turn and walk close to the portrait.

Hikaru touched the frame of the portrait and then turned to look at him.

“She disappeared the day she gave birth to Hotaru” Hikaru said “She suffers with anxiety attacks ever since her father died. And that’s why we tried our best to calm her down during her pregnancy. She’d sometimes end up hurting herself so the reason she hates this place even though she can’t remember it, is because this is her cage. We never let her out with fear that she’d be hurt” he sighed “So until Hotaru came, she was caged. From the hospital, she disappeared and we lost track of her whereabouts. I tried to look for here everywhere, driving me crazy. They told me that she could have died already. I never gave up but even so when there would be a call telling me they found a body somewhere, I’d be there to see if it is her. So when you came inquiring about her, I raised my hopes up. You have her and I am more than thankful. But she forgot about me and everything else” he said
