Realisation
Jo: "!" he realised what he was doing and quickly let me go.
Haru: "Jo you perv..." he turned red.
"This feels like déjà vu."
Haru: "Yep...i remember Richy."
Jo: "Wait, did Richy do something?!"
"He hugged me, calm down."
Haru: "I came up because there are customers downstairs asking for Claire."
Jo: "I just realised something...you can't just barge in my room without knocking! What if i was getting changed?!"
Haru: "Sure...that's why you didn't want me to barge in..." he smiled as he walked away.
Jo: "Hey-what's that supposed to mean?!"
I still can't believe Haru didn't notice that i'm not wearing my make-up or wig. Maybe because he was too embarrassed to have seen me and Jo like that...lol.
I went downstairs to be greeted by Rosie.
Rosie: "Mummy!"
"Rosie!"
She ran towards me and i enveloped her in my arms.
Rosie: "Mummy, we came in an airplane!"
"Did you now?"
Gang: "!"
Rosie: "And Nan and granddad is here!" she pointed to mum and dad.
"Mum! Dad!" i hugged them and they hugged me back.
Mum: "About time you noticed us!"
"Haha sorry! You could've called before coming!"
Mum: "Then it wouldn't be a surprise! And we've got some news to tell you later!"
Dad: "...Johji are you crying?"
I turned to Jo who wiped a tear away from his face.
"Jo, are you ok?"
Rosie: "Don't be sad!"
"He's uncle Jo." I pointed to Jo with a broad smile.
Rosie: "Uncle Jo!"She laughed with a bright smile.
Jo: "I can't-" and with that, he ran to the kitchen to cry some more.
Ryu: "Where are you from?"
Rosie: "Engaland!"
Ryu: "Cool! My dad went to England 3 years ago!"
Ichy: "Nobody cares, Ryu."
Dad: "Anyway, we're going to get our apartment sorted out. Rosie, come on."
Rosie: "I want to stay with Mummy!"
Mum: "Ok we'll be back soon. Bye Claire!"
"Bye!" I waved them out.
Ichigo: "...is this a prank?"
Haru: "May, you are such a player!"He scolded.
"Huh? When did you guys get here?"
Tak: "We were here all along..."
Ryu: "You're married?!"
Richy: *Sigh* "I'll explain to you later Ryu..."
Ichy: "And you look...different."
"Oh...haha...i think i have some explaining to do later."
Haru: "How old is she?"
Rosie: "Hi!"
Haru: "Hi!" he picked her up and hugged her and she hugged him back. I guess Haru is good with everyone...
"She's 3."
Gang: "..."
Jo just hugged me in sympathy.
Then mum walked through the BlackShip door as the bell chimed. Again.
Mum: "I have to take Rosie too. Come on!"
Rosie: "Nooooo!"
Mum: "Come on!" she got her from Haru and went out the door with Rosie shouting and wailing in protest.
Haru: "That's really messed up May." He said as soon as my mum went with Rosie. "You've been flirting since you were 14?!"
"What?"
Jo: "Haru. Stop." He glared.
Haru: "No! What the hell?! That's not normal! Does Rosie even have a father? No, right?"
"..."
Jo: "Haru you don't know anything so shut up." He shouted at him with an irritated tone.
Haru: "!"
*Sigh* "Ok..." i sat down and they all listened eagerly for my next words. "I was in England 3 years ago and mum asked me to get some milk from the convenient store at...i don't know...i think it was 11 at night. It was dark too. I was minding my own business and there was a drunken man with his friends."
Haru: "..." he face changed from disgust to regret.
"I'm not going to explain it from there...and because of that Rosie came later..."
Richy: "Oh my God..."
Ryu: "I don't get it."
Is he serious right now?
Richy: "I'll explain that later to you as well..."
"And guess what happened after that? That coward ran away back to the country he came from, the next day so the police couldn't catch him! Ugh... And so, my dad decided i should wear a wig and make-up and would make me look uglier so something like that wouldn't happen again."
Tak: "That's why..."
Haru: "I'm...sorry. That i said all that. I shouldn't of have jumped to conclusions."
"It's ok."
There was silence until i spoke up again.
"The police asked me to sketch him too. Haha...i still have it...i don't know why..."
Gang: "!"
Jo: "Show us!"
"It's at the back of my sketchbook. I'll go and get it."
Tak: "What...but...at the back...there was..."
I went upstairs to fetch my sketchbook and returned downstairs with the sketchpad in my hands. I placed it on the counter and everyone watched in anticipation. I turned to the back and showed them; and the reaction was a bit unexpected.
As soon as the saw the sketch, they all turned to Ryu. And Ryu's face was drained of all colour.
Ryu: "W-wait...this is the bad guy?"
"Yep."
Ryu: "That's my dad!"
"You're not funny Ryu."
Haru: "He's not lying."
Ichy: "That's his dad..."
"What?"
Gang: "..." they all exchanged confused looks.
Jo took a look at the sketch.
Jo: "Yep...that's him alright."
Richy: "You've drawn him so evil. He looks like a criminal."
"Wait...Tak can you turn the light off? And Ryu, you keep talking."
Ryu: "Err...what do i talk about?" he asked as Tak went to the lights.
"Anything. Just sing bob the builder then."
Tak turned off the lights as Ryu awkwardly and reluctantly sang.
Ryu: "...Bob the builder...can we...fix it?"
The lights were off and Ryu looked just like 'his dad' in the dark.
Ichy sniggered as Ryu sang.
Haru: "Ryu! You look just like your dad in the dark!"
"Tak, turn the lights back on."
Jo: "That's why...in the shed you thought you saw him. Because Ryu was there. And it was dark."
"I still don't believe this. He can't be Ryu's dad!"
