88 Diary: Memories From The Youth 6 (1/2)
For a couple of days, Hanzo didn't come to his family house. While outside, Hanzo became wilder and wilder with Crazy Kei's gang. He was almost like the clone of Crazy Kei. He did everything Crazy Kei told him to, he also acts like him.
He started to have fun with all of that. He wrecks a public car, put a fire on the building, hang out at the bar, smoking, and defeating the tugs on the region.
Han sighed inside. Hanzo, what happened to you?
One day his father and mother came to the school to search and check on him. He asked the teachers and said that he didn't come to school lately. Just like the usual thing happened, because he was in Class S, the teacher tolerate them.
But for Nobuo Asuzawa that was not the case, he worried about.
When they went out of the school building, their plan was to search for Hanzo again, while accidentally saw him were fighting with a bunch of group thug people and another school students on an open field beside the river. He was standing in the middle with Crazy Kei and Rei Ishii beside him.
They had their bruises on their face and a bat on their hand.
They were ready for another fight!
Suddenly Nobuo Asuzawa shouted the driver to stop the car!
He quickly jumps from his car and runs toward their direction. His wife was confused and unconsciously followed him what just happened. He was carrying his belt sword and shouted to stop the fight. But the fight still keeps going. As if his voice was just a punny little wind which passing by.
A bulky student came charge on him and tried to hit him with a baseball bat. Nobuo Asuzawa dodges that, but another student came unnoticed beside him and hit his shoulder. The wooden stick was broke. While hurting, he still let out his voice to shout to Hanzo. ”Son! Stop this fight!”
”Father?” Hanzo reacts to the voice and then finally realized that his parent was here. When he was quiet for a second another wooden bat swing to his direction. It hit his head and blood started to come from his head.
”Kyaa!” it was his mother voice. She was corner by the sudden thugs to come to her, she was practically hiding but got discovered by them. They started to grab her arm. She screamed, ”You, hoodlum! How dare you do this to your elder!”
”Elder! You are here then you are our hostage, you came from the eastern region too, ain't right? So we didn't give a damn sh*t about what happened to you!”
”Grace!” my father shouted. He swings the back of his sword to that thugs and hit his damn head until he fainted. Another hit was coming right up to him, he was dodging quite nicely yet in short matter of time a whole gang surrounds Nobuo Asuzawa.
”Father!!” Hanzo screamed and run towards him, he was trying to help. But the whole gang, gang up to Nobuo Asuzawa while he tried to protect his wife. A bat after bat came to his body and leg until he fell to the ground while hugging his beloved wife under him. Blood came out from his mouth.
Nobuo with his bloody face strode and hit the people who were near his parent. Crazy Kei and Rei Ishii were still busy with the other opponent and only his group were separated from the other two. Hanzo fought and hit one student and another student, one thug, and another thug. He was gasping and his eyes were red.
He could see his parent bloody bodies and he screamed like madness!
...
Inside the car, the personal driver who saw his master was fighting with thugs on the open field, quickly called police troops and his master personal subordinate in the military! Because the scale people was too big he needs more people!
Master, please be safe!!
...
Inside the black space.
”Hanzo, are you okay?” Han said to him with a helpless face.
Hanzo looked tired and helpless, his eyes were red from crying. He asked, ”Are you really going to stay here? You don't want to leave forever?”
”Do you hate me?” Han asked.
He shakes his head and brushes back his short black hair to the back. ”I...I don't know, but I think so.”
”Why?” (Han)
”I...You...You can do everything that I can't do! You can handle everything while I'm suffering alone in this depression! You can be yourself while I'm fighting with my self! You become 'You' while I...am confused... if only you did not exist, I should have not in this situation right now...” (Hanzo)
Han asked him calmly, without hinting any annoying feeling he felt. ”Then...what do you want to do?”
”I...”
At that moment he was finally glad to Crazy Kei's advice. In the future, he will remember his debt to him, he helps him to figure out, what it means to be one person.
Hanzo remembers Crazy Kei's words when he asks him how to be normal again. But, he still had his doubt.
He looked at Han with determining eyes and resolution. He asks a favor to him, ”I...Let's merge together, into one personality, Han.”
Han lifted one of his eyebrows, ”You want me to disappear? Then are you brave enough to face your father now?”
He was a little hesitating, but then he covers it again with his resolution. He exhaled and said,”...Yes, I am and...you are not going to disappear, we will become one person. And if you are still not satisfied yet. I'll keep my name as Han. How is it?”
Han looked at him with his usual scary expression. But, his eyes were not. It was surprisingly calm and no anxiety inside. He was thinking. He didn't want to disappear, he wants to become himself. But how Hanzo act for a few days just to make himself better were shocking to Han.
He did everything to make him normal again, even the bad things, so he could erase Han. But it didn't work how many time he tried. The way he forces things to make Han disappear, just making Han resistant and stay there, observing and waiting for his opportunity to get out.
When Han looked at Hanzo determining eyes, his eyes were a little shaken. Hanzo was tired and how his father became like that was all his fault. He blames himself again.
But this time he wants to face it, he didn't want to run away again.
Honestly, it moved Han's heart.
He chuckled and Han looked at Hanzo. He grabs his hand and looked at the reflected him in Hanzo's eyes.
