On the way back home, Yuusuke couldn’t help but to take a glimpse at Ryoko every three seconds while driving. Thinking back about the incident earlier, he was really astounded by the scene.
“I couldn’t believe that Yuma’s father is actually Ryoko’s father as well. It means that they are half-siblings,” he thought quietly.
Looking at Ryoko, who was sitting on the passenger seat beside him while looking out of the window, he let out a silent sigh.
“Ryoko must be a million times more upset and hurt than me.”
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Lying on her bed, Ryoko closed her eyes and thought about the incident earlier.
-Flashback-
She watched as her father walked towards her while leaving the other members, Yuusuke and Yuma flabbergast by the whole scene. She felt his grip on her shoulders and watched as his lips curved into a smile.
“It’s you, Ryoko. You’ve grown to be so charming and beautiful,” he said in awed.
At that moment, a pang of mixed feelings filled with sadness and anger washed over her. She shoved away his hands from her shoulders and glared at him. Her eyes were filled with hatred. Not even the tiniest bit of happiness was seen.
“Get your dirty hands off me,” she growled and shot him a menacing glare.
Her father stumbled slightly and everyone was startled by her sudden change in reaction. Yuma quickly went to his father’s aid although he was still stunned and confused by the whole thing.
“Ryoko, calm down,” Yuusuke tried to coo but was ignored.
“Your face. Your person. Your name. Your voice. Your touch. Your words. Everything about you disgusts me. So stop calling my name as if I’m close to you,” she said with disgust through her gritted teeth.
Just as her father was about to speak, she cut him off right away.
“I’m no longer your daughter anymore. From the day you abandoned us for that woman, you’re no longer my father. I don’t have such an irresponsible and cruel father,” she raised her voice and turned around.
Looking at the members, she spoke with her normal tone.
“Let’s go. I don’t want to stay here any longer with such an asshole person.”
With that, she walked her way towards the entrance. As she passed by her father, she purposely brushed past him without even taking a glimpse at him. Suddenly, she came to a halt and the members stopped as well. Without turning around, she spoke loud enough just for her father to hear.
“Don’t even think about finding us because neither of us wishes to see you. To us, you’re already dead long time ago. Forget about today’s meeting as well. It irks me with the slightest thought about having you in my memories.”
And she left the room together with the rest of JUMP.
-End of Flashback-
She let out a long heavy sigh and placed a pillow over her face. Just then, her phone vibrated and she flipped over to grab it. Flipping it open, she hit the ‘Answer’ button.
“Hello?”
“Ryoko!”
Ryoko’s eyes widened and she removed the phone from her ear to look at the caller. A smile was plastered across her face instantly and she placed the phone back to her ear.
“Oh! Ryosuke-kun!”
“Yeah, it’s me! But Ryoko, are you alright? Your voice sound weird. Did you just cry?”
Ryoko’s smile faded and she sat up slowly.
“No, I didn’t.”
“Are you sure?”
Ryosuke, on the other side of the phone, was really worried. Thinking back about what had happened earlier, he was disappointed with himself for not being able to console her well.
“Yes…”
Ryosuke let out a silent sigh. Hearing her reply, it was even more obvious that she wasn’t herself. Being her boyfriend, he felt that under that kind of situation, it was really important for him to be more caring towards her.
“Ryoko, I’ve something to tell you.”
Ryoko’s ears perked up immediately after hearing that and pressed the phone even closer to her ear.
“As your boyfriend, I feel that I should tell you this. No matter what happens, I just want to let you know that I’ll always be there with you. From the moment I asked you to be my girl, I’m treating you as the only girl whom I gave my entire heart to. Ryoko, I love you and I always will.”
At that moment, Ryoko’s heart melted instantly. She was really touched by Ryosuke’s words.
“I understand. I love you too, Ryosuke.”
The both of them continued to talk for a while before Ryoko felt sleepy and dozed off into her dreamland straight after they hanged up.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Ding Dong!
Ryoko furrowed her eyebrows upon hearing the sound and opened her eyes groggily. Looking around, her gaze was finally fixed upon the big clock hanged up right in front of her. It was one in the afternoon.
Rubbing her eyes, she sat up slowly and slipped both her feet into the slippers before heading out of her room.
While walking down the stairs, she thought she heard somebody talking downstairs and called out.
“Kaa-san? Is that you?”
“A-a-ah, Ryoko. Y-you’re a-awake…,” Natsume stuttered at her reply and immediately, Ryoko sensed something weird.
She snapped out of her sleepy mode and looked closely at the other person standing opposite of her mother. Horror was then written all over her face.
“Why are you here!” she hollered and her voice echoed around the room.
Mizuki, who was sleeping in her room, was woken up by the commotion and quickly rush down. Upon seeing a man in his forties and Ryoko glaring at him, she sensed that something is wrong. Immediately, she ran up to grab her phone and punched in the numbers to call her father, Yuusuke.
Meanwhile, at the downstairs, the atmosphere became really tense.
“Ryoko…please don’t shout at him. He…he’s your father…,” Natsume said softly and Ryoko glared hard at her.
“He’s not my father! Kaa-san, how can you still treat him as your husband?!” Ryoko shouted at her and stabbed her index finger in her father’s direction.
“This man has another family. I just met his son yesterday. He’s living happily with his family. Look! He doesn’t even give a bloody damn about us! Not even when Kaa-san nearly died,” Ryoko’s voice same softer at the last sentence.
At that time, Natsume’s eyes were already brimmed up with tears while Mizuki was beside her, patting her shoulders while waiting anxiously for Yuusuke to rush back. Her father’s eyes widened upon hearing the last sentence and looked at Natsume in shock.
“Natsume, what happened?” he asked anxiously with hint of guilt.
However, that built up the anger within Ryoko even more quickly.
“Don’t call her so sweetly! She isn’t your wife anymore! I can’t bear another sight of you in this house any longer. Get out! Get out!” she screamed, stabbing her finger at the entrance repeatedly.
Her father didn’t budge and made Ryoko even more furious. Quickly, she grabbed the nearest object nearby - a broom and shoved it in his face.
“Get out! I said get out!” Ryoko screamed and continued to shove the broom in his face.
Just then, Yuusuke finally managed to rush back. He was stupefied upon seeing the scene and quickly, he dragged Ryoko’s father away and gestured Mizuki to bring Natsume back to her room. After her father was gone, Ryoko released her grip from the broom and collapsed onto the floor. Burying her face in her palms, she started sobbing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
“Nakayama-san, I’m really sorry to say this but I’ve to say it. Please don’t come here to find Ryoko and her mother anymore. Ryoko is still very upset and hurt over the incident that happened so many years ago. So please leave this place and never come back,” Yuusuke said politely and bowed.
Ryoko’s father let out a long sigh and nodded his head.
“I understand and I knew Ryoko’s hatred towards me. My purpose of coming here was to make sure with my own eyes that Ryoko and her mother are living comfortably. Now that I had seen them living in a proper house, my heart has finally settled down. I will leave now. Please take care of Ryoko and her mother for me. Thank you and good bye,” he said and turned around to leave.
Yuusuke’s gaze followed the back view of Ryoko’s father until he got into the car and it turned in at the corner of the road. Suddenly, a question appeared in his mind.
“What does he mean when he said that ‘his heart has finally settled down’?”
