Another day in the Miyamaru household. The neighbors, at least once a month, hear heavy arguments, which are caused by? Misunderstandings.
The Miyamarus have a daughter, Sakura Miyamaru, who is abroad with her husband, Kenjiro Yamado, and their daughter, Marie. Sakura, her husband, and her daughter often visit her parents and her little brother, Haruka Miyamaru.
Haruka was about 12 years old. He grew up in a beautiful household, which was decorated with 12 arguments per year as a prescription from the Devil. Although he leads a life where he gets all the basic needs like studying, good food, and physical health, he was never happy for some reason. What is the reason? His parents are the artists of the art in the Miyamaru family.
Haruka was witnessing the argument, and each time it got worse, he had seen this ever since he was 4. He remembers all of it, every last detail of those arguments. They haunt him like an undying whisper. They never got a second of peace for this; each night he slept, all he dreamt was the arguments. And after each argument? His mental health worsened.
Mrs. Miyamaru: "I... told you I had extra classes; a teacher's job isn't that easy..."
Mr. Miyamaru accused her of things Haruka didn't understand, things no child should hear.
(Mr. Haruka said those words with anger... He was shouting, loud enough for Haruka to think it was an earthquake.)
Mrs. Miyamaru: "I-I...it's n-not that... You are misunderstanding..."(She was hurt, she was scared, she was angry too, but the anger just didn't show up, his eyes were reddened by anger and tears)
Mr. Miyamaru: "Uh huh? Get lost from my sight, woman! understood?! I don't want to see your filthy face ever again...tch. You do a job as a teacher, alright i get it, SO WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU DO WITH YOUR MONEY!?!?!?!"
Mrs. Miyamaru: "I pay for Haruka's school... I lent you money when you wanted to buy that land...and-"
Mr. Miyamaru: "Shut up! JUST making STUFFS up are we?! just SHUT UP!"
Mrs. Miyamaru was silent; she was silent because she knew it was the best answer. Mr. Miyamaru kept using slurs and curse words, cursing Mrs. Miyamaru. But she endured it all for Haruka, she knows that she needs to raise this child, so she has to live in this hell for a little longer...just a little longer....till she runs out of her breath and sleeps silently forever...She really wants to argue back as all of those insults started to lead towards her parents.
Haruka: M-mom... D-Dad...Please stop this... Don't leave me, I need and want both of you guys... (He was crying as he was saying those words)
Mrs. Miyamaru: Don't cry... I will always be your mother no matter what...(She said with an expression of almost affection and almost hurt)
Mr. Miyamaru: Come near my son, and I will make sure you will be dropped dead right where you are...(His tone was filled with arrogance and anger)
Mrs. Miyamaru: There is no law above the kid's will...(She said with a stern expression)
Mr. Miyamaru: We will see about that...(By saying that, he slapped Mrs. Miyamaru's cheek)
Mrs. Miyamaru falls on ground, she still didn't cry, she just stared at him with disgust and sadness...Haruka, on the other hand, was seeing it all and kept whining. He wanted to go and save his mother even if it required him to fight his father, but he... just couldn't bring himself to do so.
Mr. Miyamaru kept beating his wife; at one point, he decided to stop. Later on, Mrs. Miyamaru went to her room, sitting at the edge of the bed and staring intently at the floor, thinking deeply, or perhaps regretting?
Haruka went closer to her, "Mom... d-don't cry... I-"
Mrs. Miyamaru stared at him with disgust, anger, and a stern expression, "Shut up... It's all your fault; if you had died when you were born, none of this would have happened."
Haruka: "(Hearing those words, his expression went sadder) B-but mom...I-"
Mrs. Miyamaru: "I should have prayed Lord to make me disappear from this world IF YOU NEVER EXISTED!!!... It's all because of you that I am staying alive, at what cost? At the end of the time, you will be like your dad... Tch...." (She stares at Haruka with hatred and disgust, and then she slaps him hard, a thud across the room)
That slap had a huge effect on Haruka; in fact, it traumatized him. He tries to explain further
Haruka: "(with a broken tone) M-mom... You are not understanding me...I-..."
After saying that, Haruka leaves and runs to his room. He shut himself in and kept crying and sobbing.
And after a few hours, Haruka heard that the main door was open... He heard a familiar voice.
"Oh...I-is that..big sis?..."-He thought to himself.
