Ch. 15- Her own greed

It was her...

Yamda's haha.

Why was she here?

I stood still.

I didn't want to deal passing by the gate.

For she would see me.

And why would she wants to see me?

I was the one that made his son like that...

I looks at her.

She clutch to her purse, waiting patiently.

I wanted to go home but... feeling that i've been trap.

I decided to take a risk.

I took many in my life.

This one wouldn't hurt, would it?

"Uno... Are you Wannatabe Mayu?"

She caught me.

I turn to her.

I knew that this would happen anyway.

I nods. "Mm..."

*

"What would you like to order?"

The waitress asked, notepad and pen, ready to take our order.

"I'll just take a ice tea..."

Mrs. Yamada shut her menu booklet.

I dare not to open mine.

I glance at her.

She notice.

"Order what you want... It's okay."

She told me.

I nods. "Daijobu desu."

She sigh.

She turn back to the waitress. "That'll be all..."

The waitress nods and walks away.

She drag her attention back to me.

She let out another sigh.

"So.. You're Wannatabe Mayu?"

I nods.

I thought she knew already.

"I remember you from the hospital." She said.

"Hai. You must be Senpei's haha."

She shook. "Hai..."

She glance down.

I gazed at her ,if I get the chance.

"Uno... Why are you asking me here?" I asked.

I knew that it would be Yamada Senpei related.

She's probably here to shout at me for making what her son is.

But an expressionless and unexplainable face like hers?

She glance back up.

"Actually... I want to asks you a favor... towards my son."

She said.

I pouted my lips together.

She wants something from me?

I form a nerous smile on my face.

"Doue?"

I tilted my head down.

She grasp onto the palms of both her hands.

She exhale.

"Ryosuke... He.. changed.."

She gaze into my eyes.

I glance quickly.

Hearing the word 'Change' scared me.

I knew that it was probably my fault.

"Changed?"

I asked.

She nods. "Mm..."

"Like how?"

She bits her lips.

Her grasp was squeezing.

I looks at her hands.

But quickly back up to her.

She shook her head, no.

"He won't listen to anyone... He won't talk to anyone. Especially me. He would shout and yell at me, angryly. 'Mayu-chan! I want to see her!' he would yelled. I thought that..." She took a breath." That maybe if I arrnaged a partner for him. He would be better. It got worser... To the point where he would... he would... " She gazed up to me. "He would hit me..." Her voice broke.

I sat still. Daring not to move.

Hearing this from his Okasa.

It's shocking.

I never knew that Yamada had been in a mental stage.

Involving me...

My heart shook.

I just nods my head.

It was my fault... Really.

"Gomenesai... hontoni" I said, almost as a whisper."It's my fault.."

I felt my palms squeezing onto my bag.

I nods, unstopable.

"I didn't know.."

My voice trembled.

"No.. it's not you.. It's just him.."

She said, not knowing what to say.

"Demo.. Will you help him?"

I tilted my head up.

"Nani?"

Help him...

Of course, I would...

Demo..

"Although I may be getting you to go up against my greed... Be By His SIDE..."
