Warmth And Coldness

Chapter 28

Every day went on normally. Vitya said mother was ill and that she had to be hospitalised for days. Well it was quite peaceful at home especially with Vitya being with me 

Then I was called outside the rink by Yakov. I then saw a mysterious man. He was tall and was wearing a doctor's robe 

I analysed his face then remembered that every year he was at my birthday parties. Giving me gifts but mommy always throw them away

"Hello sweetheart" he bent to match my height. He is very fluent in English and doesn't have an accent 

"hello sir who are you" I asked then I heard him chuckle 

"How straightforward you remind me so much of her" he said then patted my head I blushed

"I don't know who you are, mister. I always see you but you never talk to me" I said pouting that he didn't answer my question

"Do you want to know who I am?" he asked I nodded my head

"Let's say I am related to you from your father's side" he said with a bright warm smile. I couldn't help but feel attached

"So you're my uncle??" I asked

"Call me that for now"

Everyday he visited me. I learned that he was from Japan and told me that my father is Japanese. He told me stories about my father

He also taught me how to speak nihongo fluently

"You are an amazing student," he said while patting my head. I suddenly felt proud

"When will I see mom?" I asked but he suddenly stiffen

"Oh your mother need rest especially you don't want to caught her disease" he said then tickled I laughed then fought him

"Bad man"

Vitya stared at the father and daughter together. He was happy for the first time. He saw her niece finally experiencing parental love

You two should stay together I can't take care of you

I was at our house then saw uncle Katsuki at the kitchen

"Uncle, can I call you papa?" I asked while looking at the kitchen counter. It was silent when I looked at him he was in tears

He then kneeled in front of him and gave me a warm smile

"I would be happy if you call me that" he said with tear stain across his cheek

"Well then you are now my papa!!" I said then hugged him I could hear him sniffling. Then he lifted me. I was very small and short. While papa was cooking he carried me in his shoulder

"Let's eat" he then placed me on the chair and gave me a kiss on the forehead. He then placed a plate of udon

"Itadakimasu!!"

After eating he placed me in my bed

"Do you want me to read you a bedtime story!" he stated happily

"Papa I'm not 10 Im 13 I don't even have bedtime stories" I said never had any bedtime stories but papa looks sad 

"But can you tell me stories"

"About mama and my real papa!!" I said happily then sat down beside me

"Alright, your mama and real papa met at Paris at one of her competition" he said

"Where is Paris?" I asked

"City of love and that's where they fall in love. They had dates meeting each other and then you happened. It was a miracle. You are my miracle" he said then patted my head

"I want to visit mama" 

"You can't sweetie let her rest for now" 

"oki" 

I layed down in bed while Papa left my room

I was suddenly woken up by voices. I quietly left outside. I saw papa and  fighting.

"You can't tell her yet" Yakov whispered 

"She deserves to know the truth" Papa said then went closer

"She needs more time. We can't just tell that her mother died and her biological father is you" Yakov said quietly but I heard it all

My eyes widened and suddenly hit a vase then fell down. Causing the two men to look at me

"Hana......"

"mother is dead??.." I could feel tears falling down my cheeks

Katsuki saw his daughter crying on the floor. He immediately rushed towards to comfort her 

"Sweetie did you hear everything?" he asked

"I want to visit mama's grave please" he then looked at Yakov for approval

In the morning we visited my mother's grave sadly. I placed the flowers at the grave. Silently crying remembering the words I have said to her

My sobs grow louder. I looked at my dad and he gave me a soft smile. I immediately hugged him

"I want to go to Japan with you" I said

"Are you sure sweetie?" he asked I nodded

I was at the airport then I saw Vitya. I hugged him

"Torya!! Please take care of yourself in Japan. I heard there are a lot of perverts. Kick them in the balls if you see one!!" Victor said while crying

"Bye bye Vitya! You are my favourite uncle" I said then gave him peck on the cheek

I also said bye to the others as I look at my dad

"Are you ready?" I nodded as we boarded plane

~

"I can do this!"

"You can do this!"

"I'm nervous dad what if I don't fit in at Japan standards"

"You don't have to fit in. I bet you would stand out especially with your beautiful hair" my dad encouraged

"What if they don't like my hair!"

"They would love it!"

I nervously stand at the gate while wearing my uniform

"I'm going"

"Wait I need to take a picture of my sweet baby girl on her first day of school" 

"Dad, I'm not a kid!" 

"You still are to me" 

"Bye Dad!!" 

I left to go to my class. I saw my homeroom teacher and they gave me a smile and motion me to come in front 

"Class we have a new student her name Yukio Honda" 

"Hello nice to meet you" I nervously replied 

"Kuroo you will be the one showing her around" 

"Wait I don't want to..." he said but then looked at me his mouth dropped. His face suddenly turned red

"Sure I don't mind" I simply rolled my eyes

I was also seated beside him

"Hey cutie"
