Genius Child: Woman Without Man
Mom Vs Dad's
Takeshi was now confused as to how to answer Riota who had already heard the conversation between him and his wife. Toru himself prefers to enter the room continuing the work --checking Takeshi's laptop-listening from another angle. Similarly to Riota, Toru also wants to know who Riota's father was declared dead by his own mother.
"Aunt Yuko is very evil." murmured Toru from behind the door of the room.
" Is that man my father, Papa? "
"Ah no, you misunderstood, son. " Ruri was nervous to hope that Riota only heard a part of the conversation, even though Riota knew very well the direction of their conversation from the beginning. Since arriving, they are not sleeping, they are training to win the tournament and of course while eavesdropping.
"Papa? Why just shut up? "
Takeshi rolled both his eyes, his brain was conceptualizing the right sentence so that a child like Riota could digest the intent that Takeshi would convey. Honestly, to this extent he has not had a benchmark - the limits of what boundaries Takeshi can tell - remembering this story will be very heartbreaking to be borne by children of the age of Riota. Takeshi loves Riota. Unlike Yuko, Takeshi doesn't want to hurt her son's feelings even verbally.
"Yes you're right.. " Takeshi replied straightforwardly without burden.
"Takeshi! " Ruri lashed out, Takeshi had already taken the wrong action by telling the truth like that.
Riota could barely stand up straight anymore, his entire body was like he was being stung by high voltage electricity. She almost lost consciousness if Ruri did not embrace her immediately.
"I'm sorry, son, we've been lying, "Ruri finally admitted her mistake, hugging Ruri and crying to feel how devastated the innocent child was.

Flashbacks ...
One year before Yuko finds out she's pregnant.
08 March Xxxx
That day coincides with International Women's Day, Yuko has the opportunity to become a seminar speaker at the auditorium of a well-known campus in Tokyo. Yuko was invited to be a speaker and will review a little about her latest novel that will be released at the end of the year. Just like the novel she had made before, Yuko hoped that her novel would return to success to become a best seller in every famous bookstore in the country.
...-Women Without Men-...
A novel addressing the issues of gender equality - the polemic of modern-day women - will include its controversial statement stating that in the future, women will be, women probably no longer need men in supporting the life of the woman herself.
The frontal statement was like a boomerang to my mother, now she lives in a bed without a man.
Yuko is convinced, even though her novel is just a fictitious essay, but in this way he can insert a message that is written so that women in the future will be better prepared and grow into stronger and independent women from the physical, mental, and of course financial.
"All the ladies and gentlemen let's greet with a standing ovation our keynote speaker today, novelist Yuko Carissa! "
Yuko Carissa is a famous name that she uses for literacy purposes. Yuko appeared accompanied by the Master of Ceremony bowed his greetings and waved to the entire audience from all corners of the room. Like a celebrity, the flash of camera flash continues to highlight where Yuko went. Yuko never thought, it turns out that a writer can also be known and treated like a celebrity just for making up a story.
Yuko appears dressed in modest clothing, Yuko is very confident despite only wearing black jeans and an oversize white shirt - the most comfortable suit that Yuko likes - looks relaxed but polite and elegant.
"Talking about women's equality, of course, it would be more interesting if we involved a handsome and well-established man who might be the idol of all the women in this room, "
The MC was so excited and excited that it invited a last-minute substitute without Yuko's knowledge - the reason that should have come was a female activist - this seminar would have gone as smoothly as it should. Yuko even suspects do not this is just reason - the committee's will to attract the interest of the audience. Whoever the source was present, Yuko did not need to blame him.
Takahiro Hiroki or Mr. Taka William Alexander came to smile to the whole audience and did not miss me as a fellow speaker. Taka is an interesting guy should his style be a bit slengean. From the style of speech, Yuko is not sure whether this kind of man can be invited to discussions according to the theme or not.
"Men are competing creatures, certainly gender equality for me personally is not a matter to be debated " Taka said when asked for an opinion.
Taka felt the seminar was very boring - until the middle of the event - it felt like Taka was just about to leave. The theme of gender equality from year to year always discusses that. After all, Taka felt this was not his field. This conversation is a little forced.
Were it not for the insistence of a close relative, it would have been impossible for him to sit indistinctly - with such an obscene theme - like this. Women without men?
" Women are complicated, even though they have been given some convenience, they still always feel they are not treated unfairly, "
"As a man, it doesn't matter to me if I have to compete with women, but there's something you need to know, "
"Women still need male roles in some aspects of their lives, "
"So it would be better if men and women should work together in supporting the next life, for example... "
"Whatis that? " The mediator kept trying to make Taka open his voice. He expects a debate between the sources to attract the audience.
"produce offspring. Because men are not likely to rival women for the business of giving birth and breastfeeding children, right? "
"Mahaha"
Mood melts. As an impromptu speaker, Taka managed to attract the attention of the audience who was getting bored.
"In addition, biological needs are the main factor that will only be intertwined with the cooperation between men and women, right Miss? " Taka glanced mischievously at Yuko who was confused listening to the sarcastic sentence from Taka.Yuko felt Taka was pretentious.
"Mahaha"
Most of the audience laughed again, boisterous applause accompanied every sentence of satire that Taka uttered. Yuko did not realize that some of the audience who came were men who of course had the same assumptions as Taka.
"What about the baby tube program, or sperm⁴ donor, or biological needs filling device? " Cecar the MC as well as the mediator is conspiring with Taka to corner Yuko. The organizers forget that this seminar is a discussion event not a political debate event.
" Previous Miss Yuko said, is not in this modern era all might be done more easily and practically than having to bother asking for help from others, right? " Advanced the mediator.
"The sensation felt is also clearly different than using aids,"
"Mahaha"
The entire audience laughed satisfied with the opinion that Taka had just conveyed. Yuko gaped, this conversation will be useful if only Tachibana who sits in the chair Taka. The conversation gets more interesting, Taka manages to take over the arena.
"Miss Yuko, how do you feel? " Continue the mediator turned his gaze to Yuko who was holding the dongkol. Yuko felt Taka's talk was not fundamental. Does a man like Taka only think about seksSu4al satisfaction?
"Lord Taka, whom I respect, can you not conclude that women can only give birth or breastfeed?" Reply Yuko glanced cynically.
"Or just a fan of****** male?! " Yuko started talking seriously to the audience.
"Not all women consider biological desire to be a top priority! "
"That's not what Miss-" Taka denied, she wanted to give clarification but the opportunity to speak was up. Now, it was Yuko's turn to express her opinion.
" Women have many roles in life from birth to when she has a family, in addition to being a wife, they are required to act as mothers, teachers, nurses, chefs, and other women, financial regulators sometimes they are also forced to become the head of the family"
"Whether working or domestic mothers, within 1x24 hours, seven days a week, they donate their time only to their families, "
"Sadly, as much role and time as they devote, some people are still looking for their shortcomings or weaknesses ! "
"That's the woman's side to know! "
"To that end, I insert a message message in each of my novels so that women begin to realize to themselves not to be fixated on their shortcomings, they are able to explore their potential, he said, standing on their own feet even though there was no support man by their side! " balkingly.
Without her knowing it, my mother was telling me her own life now.
Shortly afterward, the participants who had been silent finally gave a standing ovation for Yuko's very elegant and classy speech. Taka inevitably relented because the time given by the committee was limited and the event was almost finished. Yuko's statement is very encouraging for Taka who was born without knowing who her birth mother is.
"Yuko is absolutely amazing! Look at that rich businessman, he looks lost face! " Takeshi murmured giggled at Ruri from the audience seats.
"You're right Takeshi, it looks like the owner of the campus misinvited the source. " Ruri firmly stood up to give appreciation to all supporters of the event.
****
Takeshi tells how the beginning of the meeting between my mother and the man who allegedly was my biological father. Takeshi doesn't know --- exactly after the seminar was over - they turned out to be in an intense relationship.
During being Yuko's friend and co-worker, Takeshi understands Yuko's behavior as a hobby. Yuko uses her relationship with every man only for fantasy material that she believes can support every story she is writing. Usually less than three months Yuko broke up with them as the story ended that she recorded in the novel.
"Why can't you be with me, Papa? "
"Did mom accidentally not tell dad about me? " Riota shook Takeshi's arm, he was already impatient to hear Takeshi's next story. Takeshi was holding himself back, he did not want to tell that plainly.
"Of course, "
"If it wasn't for my insistence, maybe Yuko would just shut up, "
"I drove him to your father's house, "
"Your mother can no longer think clearly. " Revealed. Takeshi only told the outline, even Takeshi had not mentioned who Riota's father really was. Takeshi is impressed by following Taka's hatred due to his past actions.
"Then what did you do? " Riota Bullet. Takeshi continued despite faltering.
"Yuko came to talk about pregnancy,"
"Unfortunately, Taka was not home at the time, "
"I just remember, someone who claimed to be a relative of your father rebuked your mother, made your mother hurt and never wanted to go back there. "
"What did they tell my mother? "
Takeshi did not want to mention the person's insults in detail - - because the rant was not worth revealing especially in the presence of minors - in order to maintain Riota's mental health.
Pe-la-cur
I knew it was a word that made my mother angry and hurt.
"Where is my father now? " Cecar Riota, still not satisfied with the story of the past between his father and mother.
Like a game, I have to find pieces of puzzle pieces that I still can't sort in order to be clear. It's still an early level, there are many other levels I have to face until the finish. The battle has just begun.
"Let's know, he founded a lot of companies, "
"One of them is Personal Tech. " Next Takeshi.
Toru was stunned, still in the room, he searched for information on who was the person behind the gamming company Takeshi meant. With the help of an internet browser from Takeshi's laptop, Toru types the company's name - seeking the identity of the company's owner - namely Takahiro Hiroki. He was surprised not to play looking at the face plastered from the monitor.
