Chapter 4. HATE

Cut to the present day, march 2010. Akio has stopped eating food from my hands and even the food made with my hands. He has started going to Kaori's home for dinners. I am fed up of his ignorance now, his friends are out of town or else I should have got Akio back with their help. But I don't know if even he would end up breaking friendship with them because of me. I don't wanna be

the reason again, not even for a single thing now. I think he is coming back, I should sit silently and talk to him if that may change up his mind. I'm gonna try my best now.

( Akio coming towards home)

Eito - had your dinner kid?

Akio - uggghhh can't you just keep quiet grandpa. What do you want from me, do you have problem with my silence too. You wanna take that away..

Eito - (emotional) thats not what I meant son.

Akio - there is one thing for sure grandpa, guess what.

Eito - what?

Akio - that I hate you, and maybe I will stop calling you grandpa too, because I think that you are no longer worthy to even being called that.

Eito - (crying) don't do this to me kid.

Akio - look who's crying. These fake tears won't make any difference to your deeds.

Eito - I should be punished for what I did, I am punishable even for my existence. I don't deserve to live.

Akio - If you couldn't have raised me with this love and affection, I would have even told you go somewhere.

Eito - Glad my love is quite visible to you and it is changing your thoughts on me.

Akio - that will no longer do grandpa.

Eito - my kid...

Akio - (crying) you were my hero grandpa, you could have saved them but you didn't. I hate you grandpa, I hate you.

( Akio punches the door and goes out of the house, and he catches Kaori standing at the door. He ignores her and goes away. Eito starts crying, Kaori enters the room)

Kaori - ( Holding Eito's shoulder) don't cry grandpa, it will be all fine. These are just the bad days.

Eito - my whole life is bad I guess.

Kaori - Akio is hot headed, he just speaks anything in his anger, everything will be fine, just give it some time.

Eito - I am okay, I think Akio needs you the most right now, go and let him rest his head on your shoulder

Kaori - are you sure grandpa?

Eito - yes I am. Now go

(Kaori goes out of the house and starts following Akio)
