NAKU JOSEI'S
THE ODDITIES THAT ARE BEGINNING TO FEEL
JDARR! GLUDUING..GLUDUING..
DUKES..DUKES..DUKES..DUKES..
DUKES..DUKES..DUKES..DUKES..
Not far from where he stood, there was a very strong pounding sound from an old wooden cabinet.
"Who is there ...!" reprimand Yuki, walk over to that closet.
He kept walking closer until he was right in front of the closet.
Dukes..Dukes..Dukes..... Dukes..Dukes..Dukes..
The voice sounded like someone was banging him from the closet.
"Is there anyone stuck in this closet ?" thought Yuki.
Dukes..Dukes.. Dukes..Dukdukduk
When Yuki just touched the hand of the closet door and was about to open it, there was the sound of footsteps of someone walking from behind him.
"Yuki, is that you?" it was someone who turned out to be Jack.
"Yeah, it's me" Yuki said as she opened the closet.
She got nothing in the closet other than some dull kimono.
"What are you doing there? Just when the hospital called me, they told me your grandmother was awake" Jack said as he walked up to her.
"really? all right, take me there right now, Jack." Yuki walked hurriedly towards the room to pick up the bag and put on her jacket.
At 2:25 AM. They also went to the hospital in a taxi.
.
.
Arriving there, the two of them directly entered the ICU room where grandma was being cared for.
"Thank God." Yuki hugged and kissed her grandmother's forehead who was still lying down.
grandma opened her eyes and looked at Yuki. "Yuki-chan?"
"Yes, it's me, Grandma. I'm here with you" replied Yuki.
Grandma looked at Yuki with a puzzled look, and then the look on her face looked startled as if she had just realized something. Then, suddenly his eyes widened and his mouth opened wide.
AAAAAAHHHH!!!
Grandma suddenly just shouted while pointing towards Yuki.
"GO ON YOU..!!! GO NOW ...!! GO ...!!!"
"Why? What the hell's going on? It's me, Grandma! It's me, Yuki, your grandson!" Yuki looked panicked, while Jack pulled his hand back.
Grandma's eyes looked glared and frightened. He chased Yuki away and yelled at her as the Devil over and over again while screaming loudly.
"GO YOU! GO THEN! DAMNED DEVIL! CURSE YOU ...!!!"
the shrieking voice of the grandmother made the other doctors and nurses come and hold her hand.
"What's going on? why is grandma like this?" Yuki, who was not out of thought, looks panicked and wonders to the doctor.
"Please .. wait outside, miss," a nurse told him.
They finally came out of the room. Yuki stepped her foot out of the door; looking at her grandmother who seemed to tremble violently while repeating the same words constantly.
DEMON.. DEMON.. DEMON.. DEMON.. THE DEVIL ...!!!
Yuki could only cry looking at her grandmother who was acting strangely like that. Jack took her to the waiting room and sat down with her.
"What is grandma's disease? Why is he like that? Jack, please tell me exactly what happened to her," Yuki leaned her head against Jack's chest and squeezed her jacket.
"That's it, let them handle this. Your grandmother's gonna be fine," comfort Jack in Yuki's arms.
.
.
After about two hours of waiting, a female nurse came to them.
"Are you Yuki Hamida, Nadeshiko's grandmother's granddaughter?" ask the nurse.
"yes, I'm alone," Yuki replied, standing up from her seat.
"Mari .. come with me." take the nurse.
They also walked to the ICU room where Grandma was treated. But they are only allowed to see it from the outside through the glass walls.
Inside the room, there was an unconscious grandmother. Doctors said they had to inject her so she could remain calm and not rebel.
"In addition to having heart disease, Nadeshiko's grandmother also had a psychological disorder. That's why I'd advise you not to visit him for the next few days. At least during his recovery," the doctor explained, asking, "Has there ever been an incident that left his mental health shaken?"
"Yes, one of her neighbors said that she fell ill after she heard the news about her daughter who recently passed away" Yuki explained.
"So, her daughter's your aunt, huh?" ask the doctor again.
"She's my mother" Yuki replied briefly.
"Ah, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked about it" he said, then continued.
"Grandmother Nadeshiko will be fine as long as she is here. His heart disease wasn't severe either, so we'll move him to another room on the 20th floor. There will be a psychiatrist coming every day to see him, so you don't have to worry too much. Can you understand?"
Yuki only replied by nodding her head.
"Of course he understands, doc," Jack sidelines; patting Yuki on the shoulder with a big smile.
"Alright .. I understand. Doctor, please let me know if there's any development regarding my grandmother" Pinta Yuki said.
"of course. Then .. until later, yes," replied the doctor who then walked away.

At 5:30 AM. After taking care of the administration and payment, they returned to the inn to rest for a while. Then there, they immediately prepared the items to leave.
"Where are you planning to go?" ask Jack.
"I'm going to my aunt's house. She's my mom's little sister, we're gonna stay there until grandma gets well, you still wanna come, right?" it was obviously Yuki who asked back while walking.
That afternoon, Yuki and Jack go to Yamanakadani station, and begin their journey towards Miyako's aunt's house.
*****
After about 15 minutes of train travel, finally arrived at the stop station, then they immediately continue the journey by taxi until the address given by aunt Amai.
When they got there.
"Why is it so quiet in this residential area? Though it was still late afternoon," Jack's grumble that walked with Yuki around the area.
Shortly after, their steps came to a halt in a multi-storey house that remained in front of them.
"It looks like Miyako's aunt's house. Look, what do you think, Jack? The address is right, isn't it?" yuki asked while thrusting out her address paper.
"Yeah, no more wrong. Let's check" Jack replied, walking towards the door and pressing the bell button.
DONG DING ...
DONG DING ...
DONG DING ...
DONG DING ...
A short time later, a little boy was seen opening the door for them from the inside.
"Hey ... Are you Aoi? Where's your mom?" ask Yuki who seems to know him.
The boy stepped back slowly, then ran in.
"Hey, Wait!" yuki shouted after her entering the house.
"Hey, don't enter anyone's house carelessly, Yuki!" whispered Jack who then followed him also from behind.
"Who's there!" shouted someone from upstairs who was seen walking down the stairs.
"Eeh, you ... Yuki Chan's. That's you, isn't it?" ask a woman who turns out to be Miyako's aunt.
"Yeah ... It's me, Bi. I'm sorry we're so rude to enter a house like this. You see Aoi ran in after opening the door for us," Yuki replied lowering her head.
"Ah .. I thought what was up until he ran upstairs. You guys sit down, I'll make you a drink and come back soon," Miyako's aunt kissed Yuki's cheek.
"Alright, Bi."
Yuki puts down her bag and sits down with Jack. They wait in the living room until Aunt Miyako returns with a few drinks.
They also chatted at length about their trip from America to Osaka, Yuki also introduced Jack to him.
"Is she your boyfriend, Yuki-chan? He looks so handsome" asked Aunt Miyako.
"A-ah, ahahaha .. bu-no, no, he's just my coworker, Bi." Yuki stammered.
"You're so handsome, son (You're so handsome, son)" Miyako's aunt flattered Jack.
"Ah, thank you so much, I appreciate that (thank you very much, I appreciate that)" replied Jack.
"What a handsome ..." murmured Yuki inwardly.
And coming to the serious topic of conversation, Yuki finally strengthened her heart to preach the news about her parents' accident.
Aunt Miyako was immediately shocked and limp after hearing all of Yuki's explanations.
Her tears that began to drip, made the atmosphere turn a little awkward.
After Yuki told her about her parents, she then continued her story again about her grandmother's problems who is now being treated in the hospital.
.
.
"So, that's the story. It's only fitting that I haven't been able to reach him for a few days, and he hasn't told me either. Let's hope you get well soon, yes," said aunt Miyako.
"Bi, have you ever felt any weirdness when talking to grandma?" ask Yuki.
"Relange? Seems not. I never felt any strangeness every time I spoke to him over the phone. But, she always refused every time I took to live with me here. Yes, maybe it's because the mother is the type of person who does not feel at home living in urban areas" he replied.
Back then, Yuki tried to make the mood better by asking about the daily life of aunt Miyako and her family in the district they live in now. Their conversation also became more relaxed.
"What about Uncle Yakamura?" ask Yuki.
"My husband is currently doing his job outside the city. Maybe, he'll be home in a few days."
"Oh, yeah. Oh yeah, where's Aoi? He wasn't seen from earlier, was he asleep?" ask Yuki again.
"He never slept this fast, must have been playing games in his room, let me call him," replied Aunt Miyako walking up the stairs.
Moments later, she returns downstairs with Aoi, her son.
"He was just lying covered in his bed. Hey, Aoi! Don't you want to know your sister!" firmly aunt Miyako.
"It's okay, Bi." Yuki walked up to them and said to Aoi, "Do you want to take a walk with me tomorrow morning? I'll buy you a Dorayaki, she says you like her a lot, huh?" bargained for.
Aoi did not answer him, not even glancing the slightest at Yuki. He just fell silent and hid behind his mother's feet.
"Don! your sister is asking! Be polite!" firmly aunt Miyako again with an angry tone.
Jack walked over and directly carried Aoi. "Hey, are you afraid of that witch? take it easy he won't bite" Jack said with a laugh towards Yuki.
"He ... tall," Aoi who turned her body, began to speak.
"Huhuh? Height? So just because of that, huh?" Yuki walked over to him. "So you're scared of tall women, huh? My height is only 170 CM. The brother who is carrying you is even taller than me" Yuki said with a smile.
Aoi started to look at Yuki's face. "Not brother ..," he said.
The three of them were silent for a moment and looked at Aoi's face which looked like she was frightened.
Suddenly Aoi raised her right hand and pointed her index finger towards the back of Yuki, then she said again,
"But .. the person standing behind sister."
