...Can I exchange that gift for time to see you again?...
***
"Where are you now?
"I'm sorry I'm with my boyfriend, but I'll be there soon,"
"Ck tsk, you seem to miss your lover a lot,"
"She'd be happy if you married her, Jarvis"
"It's like that, but he's going back to London in the near future,"
Kiyoshi was in a hotel room with a woman. A figure who was still asleep in a non-dressed state was disturbed by the chatter between Taka and Kiyoshi over the phone. Already this week, they often meet to spend time just making out even more intimate.
"I have to go to a meeting,"
"Go, say my regards to him, will you? hehehe" The woman's message grinned. Kiyoshi only smiled, but in a huffed heart, Natsuki still could not forget Takahiro.
During a conversation with Kiyoshi, the private driver - who drove Taka to his destination - caught someone running behind the car from the rear-view mirror. Riota chased after Taka's car which had already speeded up. Some time later Riota's shadow disappears in the rearview mirror to the left right. Riota fell unconscious from exhaustion and could not keep pace with Taka's vehicle.
Riota is not ready to part with Taka. The day before returning to the village, Riota visited Takahiro's house with Toru. Takeshi and Ruri are taking care of the car's gift taking.
"Come on, we'd better just go home" whined Toru. He did not stay in Tokyo for long. He missed his grandfather in the village.
"We broke a promise to your mother! " sternly Toru so that Riota undo his intentions.
"Toru, please just for once I want to talk to Dad, whether he wants to accept me or not what matters is that my existence is recognized, I feel calm, " Said Riota with a clear face. After thinking at length, Toru agreed. But with the terms and conditions that apply.
"Alright, thanks to you, I can go back to school,"
"But, give me some venture capital for my grandfather to sell toys? hehehe" woo Toru cengengesan. Riota invites Toru "tos" sign of agreement.
Once there, they were rejected by the gatekeeper. The man in the uniform said Taka was not home when they clearly saw with their own eyes, Taka had just returned home. Riota and Toru are only considered vagabonds who want to ask for donations.
Not out of sense, they were sneaking in while the guards were off guard. They realized that CCTV cameras would be a problem if not turned off first. Toru mirrorring screen makes as if the CCTV is still on and also disconnects the internet connection of the house for a while. Like professional spies, they infiltrated inside without anyone suspecting.
"Is the room so secretive that you have to use a smart lock like this?" Dengus Toru was annoyed. He was confused, how to get in there while they had to hide so as not to be seen other residents of the house.
"Toru, like we got caught...." Riota muttered with a horrified look, one of the occupants of this house caught them hiding. A figure of short-bodied, fang-toothed furry creatures was ready to pounce if they did not leave immediately.
The beast barked in revolt when it knew Riota and Toru were hiding beside the cage that was intentionally covered in cloth. The smallest dog breed in the world, making them panic scattered even though the dog kennel is still locked. Chihuahua dog as if calling other residents to capture the results of his findings.
"Fucking dog! " Decak Toru moved behind an ornamental plant that was large enough to cover his thin dry posture. While Riota chose to hide behind the curtains.
"Hey bleki !" an old woman dressed as a nagging servant came to the source of the voice. Many times he called it blacky, even though it was clear the color of the animal's fur was golden brown. The servant moved the blacky to a further place so that the host would not be disturbed.
Riota knew that the door with the digital key required bluetooth synchronization from the owner of the authority. They once hijacked Taka's (mobile tracker) phone to look for an address and he is currently forced to clone the phone - copying the entirety of his data, apps, and so on - to support his actions. This time Riota commits a cyber crime against his own father. No matter, as long as the door can be opened.
"Riota, hurry! ten more minutes CCTV and Internet will work, get out before time runs out?!" Toru whispered loudly, but Riota did intend to appear in front of his father.
Riota nodded in understanding, he managed to enter and look for his father to be in. However, shortly afterwards, Riota is almost caught by a little girl who follows Riota - cheering in - knowing Taka's private room door is open. Riota hid again behind the bookshelf. He set his breath in fear of getting caught red-handed.
"Naomi? How did you get in?" Taka wondered why Naomi could open the lock. Naomi replied, Taka called the girl's mother from the intercom. Naomi knew Riota was at the corner of the bookshelf being about to show herself.
"Natsuki's? " Taka saw Naomi's mother coming.
"Your door is open, Taka." Natsuki could already guess Naomi was there.
Riota's actions failed again. Toru creeped in fear thinking about Riota's fate inside. Natsuki is looking for her daughter who woke up to the sound of dog howling.
"Mommy..Daddy.." call Naomi up to Taka's sling.
They both look happy to take Naomi out to invite her to play. Naomi sees Riota still in her place, crying without a sound. Riota sat lethargicly leaning back, her tears falling down the cardboard boxes containing her mother's novel, Yuko Carissa. Riota's heart breaks to pieces, knowing Taka already has his own family.
Toru sneaked in and took Riota away because time was up. Toru doesn't want them to end up in jail for having dared to infiltrate people's homes. Moreover, Natsuki's temperament - which is very antagonistic - makes Toru had worried, that the woman must be the most fierce occupant of the house than the Chihuahua dog.
Difficult to hide, they managed to escape in seconds CCTV and the Internet back on. On the way home, Riota regretted not listening to her mother's words. The reality that Riota received was more painful than when he did not know who Taka was in his life. Life is not as smooth as a Chihuahua's forehead. Sometimes we have to give up on reality.
Mother's anger during this time was the best form of protection, for me who was too stubborn.
