Genma Geonaru, a disadvantaged boy. Born in a family that is all-starved and entangled in debt makes the lives of Genma parents fall apart even since the age of 1 year of their marriage. Genma's father was a gambling drunk, which caused Genma's father's debts to pile up.
Not only that, genma's father also has no job, aka unemployment. In addition to gambling and drunkenness, Genma's father was also a drug dealer who had just plunged into the world of buying and selling and distributing drugs.
While Genma's mother was a stoic and patient woman. From the beginning of their marriage, Genma's father often treated Genma's mother harshly. Hitting, slapping, even strangling Genma's mother while Genma's mother was pregnant due to the influence of liquor. Not infrequently the neighbors broke into the house because they heard the screams and cries of Genma's mother who was being persecuted by Genma's father.
Not infrequently also Genma mother out of the house and go to the gambling place Genma father. Not to gamble or get drunk, Genma's mother with her fortitude and patience was forced to have her husband come home. If not, her husband will not come home. Arriving at home, Genma's mother had prepared food from the potluck so that her husband did not starve.
She prepared all of this in the hope that her husband's heart would be open and aware of all his mistakes. She still has a glimmer of hope that her husband will return to being the person he loved first.
However, all of that was just nonsense to Genma's temperamental father. As soon as he saw Genma's mother's face upon awakening from his drunkenness, he again beat and molested her as he used to do every day. The bruises and wounds are something that has been like a daily meal for the mother of Genma. Not even infrequently the legs of Genma's mother limp made.
In these conditions, Genma's mother still had to go around looking for money to buy a mouthful of rice so that her child could eat even if only a spoonful of rice. He offered many services and went to the house to ask for a job. Not infrequently people who were visited by Genma's mother even berated him and kicked him because of the appearance of Genma's mother who was seedy and shabby.
The rice that he bought for his family with great difficulty was also sometimes only thrown away or even kept stale because his husband who did not come home for days because he was too busy gambling. Fortunately, not a few neighbors who gave rice and their groceries to the Genma family because they could not see Genma's mother who struggled half to death.
Even during that difficult time, Genma's mother had to do all her work while carrying Genma wherever he went. The age of Genma who has not reached 5 years is also not possible to live alone in his house which can collapse at any time.
Genma House is hardly worth calling home. The place where they live is a former warehouse that was deliberately donated by a neighbor who empathized with the Genma family because of pity. The house is made of weathered wood that is worn and often leaks. The area is not even 6 meters, and the roof is very short, only 2 meters high. Not to mention Genma's father who sometimes made the house many times almost collapsed was beaten.
Never once did the neighbors hear or see the Genma family get along and calm. What they often see is Genma's cry when he saw his mother beaten to the ground by the father who is a bastard. Even they (the neighbors) were amazed why the two Genma parents could get married.
Because of this, the burden borne by Genma's mother as the backbone of the family increases. After all the hardships she faced every day, the pain she felt, the sweat she shed all the time, now she had to take care of her husband who fell ill. In fact, every day Genma's mother could have fallen because she could not bear all the burden that her husband poured on her. But Genma's mother did not care about it because of her passion in caring for and raising Genma.
In the greatness and strength of Genma's mother, it turned out that she endured great sadness and disappointment in her husband. At night, after her husband and son had fallen asleep, Genma's mother went outside alone, to a hill beside her house. On that quiet, lonely night, on the hill, Genma's mother stood and looked up at the sky. He was silent for a while and cried loudly. He screamed and released all the burdens on his chest that he had been damning all this time.
As if understanding, the sky began to cry along with the fall of tears. The rain fell, soaking the face full of disappointment of the extraordinary woman. The situation made Genma's mother sad and became so. All the suffering piling up in his mind came out along with every shout of his grief-stricken self. The screams and cries enlivened the quiet and silent night on the hill which became the only place to complain about the figure of the great woman.
1 Month since then. Genma's mother returned to her day as usual. This time, without bruises and wounds, he again stepped out looking for money as the backbone of the family.
On the one hand, he became stronger and healthier because there were no more wounds weighing on his body. However, on the other hand, she had difficulty taking care of her husband. This is because her husband does not want and does not want to be cared for by her. I don't know what that guy was thinking. Even when Genma's mother was about to feed him who was unable to move on the bed, Genma's father still rebelled and repeatedly refused to eat. However, Genma's mother remained patient and steadfast, she believed that one day, her husband would return to be the figure he loved first.
Because of his stubbornness, day by day, the situation of Genma's father worsened and continued to deteriorate. One day, he did not wake up from his sleep as usual. His body was stiff and cold. Genma's mother, who realized this, shouted hysterically and called her neighbors for help. However, the neighbors who already knew about the attitude and habits of Genma's father were hesitant to help him. They felt it would be a waste to spend money to help a bastard like Genma's father.
Then, the thing that Genma's mother feared happened. Her husband did not wake up until he was pronounced dead.
