Snow In December
116 Love is beautiful pain

"It looks like I'm on time." Aoyama's voice sounded suddenly and was already at the edge of the gate. Aoyama only chuckled as Hinana walked past him.

"Let's go home, Ren." Invite Aoyama and Ren to obey him.

Aoyama was happy to see her two happy friends. He thinks Ren is a good guy. So Aoyama had no doubt that Hinana was with him.

"Aoyama tomorrow we'll accompany Hinana to the audition right?" Ask Ren to make sure if his sense still allows it.

"of course. Tsubaki is also still following some of her interviews." jawan Aoyama casually.

"Thank God I can still accompany both of them. Then I can go back to Sapporo without any burden." Ren said and smiled with relief.

"Ren, when you're in Sapporo, you're gonna... "

"Wakarimasu (i understand). " Ren immediately cut off the words from Aoyama. In the current situation, Ren does not want to talk about it.

When Ren returned, he had to rest in the hospital. I don't know for how long, maybe for the rest of his life. Therefore, Ren wants to make sure that the people he cares about are happy. To be honest Ren was reluctant to invite Hinana to date, at that time his heart was not in line with the mind. Finally Ren decided while in Tokyo Ren wanted to make Hinana feel happy.

The next day, according to plan. Ren, Arumi and Emi are taking part in Hinana's audition. They want to make Hinana a spirit. While Aoyama will follow later, because there is something he must do with his mother Hinana.

"Aoyama, you don't have to push yourself if you don't want to see her." Larisa patted Aoyama on the back.

In all honesty Larisa was hesitant when Aoyama told her to be willing to meet her father. Because when Larisa says that Aoyama's father is in Tokyo, she sees Aoyama who is already tense and her hands tremble.

"I'll just meet him one last time and say don't bother my life again. " Aoyama answered his aunt.

"All right, let's go." Take Larisa and smile. Then he started his car and drove to the hospital.

They both arrived at the hospital five minutes ago. Larisa is still waiting for Aoyama to prepare herself, if Aoyama takes her home at that time Larisa also does not mind. She remembers her daughter Hinana saying that Aoyama's life was better, so there was no need for them to meet again.

"Aunt me let's get me to her place." Take Aoyama after finishing her drink.

Larisa nodded and escorted Aoyama to where her father was being cared for.

"Kou chan." said the middle-aged man sitting on his bed.

Aoyama's eyes opened wide as she looked at the person in the room. He was very surprised by what he saw.

"Why are you here? " Aoyama did not return his father's greeting, he instead asked someone who was waiting for his father who was none other than Arimura.

"I'm sorry I haven't had the time to tell you all. Actually I went to Japan because I found out about my real father's whereabouts, because I didn't know about Japan so I went to Ren's place. Tahara Kou is the real father I've been looking for. " Answer Arimura.

Aoyama was very surprised, at this time his legs felt limp but he tried to stay standing. Larisa who was behind him was already very worried about Aoyama who was already considered as her son.

Aoyama's eyes ache because of the fluid that has filled his eyelids. Arimura who sometimes bothers him turns out to be his brother. Aoyama still did not appreciate it, even Aoyama had put a taste in Arimura. Togetherness with Arimura has managed to make him slowly forget his dead lover.

"Do you know each other. " Task an old man named Tahara Kou.

"Aoyama is a doctor and we were friends when I was in Sapporo." Arimura answered his father.

"I don't know him." Aoyama said with a cold feeling.

"Aoyama sensei, please don't say anything disrespectful to my father" said Arimura, who still doesn't understand the situation.

"Kou chan, this girl is the daughter of the father you told me about before." Tahara explained to Aoyama the truth.

"Dad? " Arimura Pekik.

"Yes. Kou is the son of the father you left behind."

"Don't bother my life anymore, I'm not the kid you expected." Aoyama said firmly to her father then rushed off. Larisa immediately followed Aoyama from behind, she was afraid that something would happen to her adopted son.

"Sensei." Arimura picked up the stick and tried to chase Aoyama away. He wants to know what really happened.

"Sensei." called Arimura in his tears and still tried to walk to find Aoyama.

Aoyama stopped in the waiting room and sat down on one of the chairs. Larisa gave him a drink.

"Aoyama forgive Aunt." Said Larisa who felt pity.

"It's okay. Thank you for telling me where my father is so I can avoid him." Aoyama answered her aunt.

"Sensei's.. " Arimura managed to find Aoyama who was sitting in the waiting room.

"Do you know each other? " larisa asked Arimura, she had only seen Arimura's face two days ago.

"He was a friend of Hinana's. Obasan (auntie) may I have a minute to take." Aoyama asked her aunt for permission to speak to Arimura before returning home.

"Alright aunt will wait in the car. Aoyama... Aunty, uncle, Hinana and Ryusei are always with you. We are family." Larisa said before leaving because she was afraid that Aoyama would disappear from her.

"I understand." Aoyama replied.

Larisa then leaves Aoyama who wants to talk to her friend.

"Sensei, I don't understand at all. Can you explain it?" Arimura asked started the conversation when Larisa had already left.

"I was born because of a mistake that was said by the old man in the room earlier. Tahara was my father, he said if he didn't love my mother and me it was a mistake that set him apart from his loved ones. Maybe because of me and my mother, Tahara left your mother and Arimura chan." Aoyama explained briefly and clearly, although in fact he still could not accept the reality.

"Aoyama Sensei is my brother? " asked Arimura with tears that had flooded her eyes.

"I didn't know I might be your sister. All I know is we have a blood relationship." Replied Aoyama who still did not dare to see Arimura's face.

"Why...??? Why Aoyama sensei. I love Aoyama sensei, I want to be loved by Aoyama sensei like I said before. Why..? " Arimura muttered to herself but Aoyama could hear her.

Hearing the words from Arimura made his heart very sick. Because what Arimura wanted also seemed to be what Aoyama expected. Aoyama also remembers the first time she met Arimura.

"Sensei likes flowers? " ask Arimura who surprised him.

"Sensei, I also want to be loved like that" Arimura said as she picked up the ring she was going to give Sakura.

"Sorry Arimura, it seems like your hope will never come true." Aoyama stood up and approached Arimura. Even though his legs felt limp he had to end it all.

"Sayounara (goodbye) Arimura chan." Aoyama hugs Arimura for the first and last time and leaves.

Arimura can only cry without being able to see the departure of her loved ones. Her tears had flooded her eyes and made her unable to see clearly. The love he felt this time was truly a wonderful pain for him.
