Ni-ki's father insisted and pleaded me to have dinner with them, which I agree. I didn't had any choice.

We all- Ni-ki, I and Mr.Nishimura sat down to have dinner. Serving the slice of pizza to all of us, he continued to look at Ni-ki, helplessly.

"Son, how's your highschool going?" Mr.Nishimura tried to strike a conversation with Ni-ki.

"Good!" Ni-ki rolled his eyes and fake coughed, at the attempt of his father, to talk with him.

"Let's just have lunch for now!" Ni-ki coldly told his father.

I feel awkward, yet I was trying my hardest to not to.

"Jia, Right?" I nodded. He smiled at me, and I looked at him in shock, about how does he know me.

"Well, Ni-ki showed me a picture of you and your dad. Your dad is a hardworking person. I'm definitely proud of my son to find such an amazing person to work on that post."

"It's been ages, my son asked me for anything and when he came to the office, just to suggest your dad for the job, I knew he was a hardworking person."

"Thank you son for suggesting, such an amazing person for that post!" Ni-ki nodded, I looked at him in shock. How does he know my father was searching for a job? I was clueless. Anyway I was really happy for my dad.

Thank you Ni-ki.

I smiled at him, and somehow his cold shell, just melted away and gave me a smile back.

Am I day dreaming?

"Dad, just be honest, why're you here for?" Ni-ki coldly looked at his father while he just gulped.

"Son, it my and your step mother first anniversary, and we're hosting a party at our mansion, I hope you'll be there son!" Mr.Nishimura pleased Ni-ki, while he just sighed.

"How the fuck is she my mother? She's not my mother. She may be your wife, but not my mother." Ni-ki abruptly stood up from his sit and went upstairs, probably to his room.

Never have I seen this side of him.

Mr. Nishimura just sighed. "Honestly I don't know what to expect..."

"You should come too..." I nodded.

"Jia, can you please try to make him understand. He still can't surpass his mother death." When Mr. Nishimura stated about Ni-ki's mother death, I freezed. It may be hard for him.

"It's getting late, I must go!" I nodded.

-

I went upstairs to find Ni-ki, staring at the moon, tears visible in his eyes.

"Nishimura, I understand what you're going through. It's hard to lost someone specially precious as her." I looked at Ni-ki while he just smiled. "I know!" He replied.

"My mom passed away in an accident. And after four years my father just easily forget mom and moved on and married other women. I just can't accept it and process anything happening."

"Nishimura, life is about moving on. You can always stay at a same place. You've to move on some day. Your father just did it early, you'll do it slowly. That's the difference." He nodded, sighing.

"I'll never be with him again, I don't think I'll forgive him easily though. It's hard!"

"Nishimura, People stay together, because they forgive, not because they forget."

"All you have to do is forgive, which may be hard, just take your time." I patted his head, while he just giggled.

"I should go home, it's getting late."

"I'll drop you, tomorrow's basketball match, so come and cheer for me!" I nodded.

Bahahahaha. Lolololol
