“Ohayou little brother, where is my niece?”
Nino entered the room without waiting for Jun to allow him in. Jun closed the door and followed the elder, Nino sat cozily at one of the chairs, the one where Ohno always sit for breakfast. Jun knows that Nino choose to come for visit early in the morning before Ohno returned home, so they didn’t need to meet up.
“How’s life?” asked Nino.
“Like usual,” Jun answered shortly, Nino’s lawyer suit looked weird inside his house.
“Where is Yuri, I miss her,” Nino rose from the chair and approached Jun, he scanned Jun with his narrow eyes, “You look so pale and skinny, are you sick?” despite of Nino’s never ending disagreement for his marriage with Ohno, he still showed his attention as a real brother.
Jun shook his head, that’s when Yuri came out from the room, her eyes caught Nino’s face, she walked slowly and looked hesitated.
“Yuri chan, come here dear,” Nino squatted and opened his arms for the girl.
“Uncle Nino,” she stepped faster and crash Nino on his chest, “How are you?”
“I’m fine, how about Yuri chan? Why did you cry?”
“I miss Papa,” she said.
Nino turned his head to Jun, tried to look for an affirmation. He joined Nino to squat,
“Papa must work all day today, Yuri can meet him after he finished,” Jun once again ensured her that Ohno will be back soon.
“Instead of Papa, what if Yuri plays with me?” Nino offered himself.
Yuri nodded, “Okay,” she said and ran to her room to take something. Jun could feel Nino’s gaze still on him.
“What brings you here?” Jun asked, get ready to prepare the breakfast, the lobster they bought yesterday still on the bucket, Jun eyed it with sad look.
“I will meet my client today,” Nino stood up, drew a deep inward breath, “I took the earliest train so I can meet Yuri before work.”
“Your husband must be very busy that he can’t even return home today,” Nino commented. Jun muted, busied himself in making a glass of milk for Yuri and a cup of tea for Nino. He hoped there will be a phone call from the police, explained that Ohno was innocent and could return home today, so he didn’t need to tell Yuri a lie and they can live normally again.
“Jun, my office in Tokyo still need an employee, if you’re interested you can work there, the salary is quite high, you can bring Yuri together with you as well,” Nino spoke as if Ohno mean nothing, that Jun could leave him that easy.
“Nino, you know that I…”
“Uncle Nino, how do I look?” Yuri appeared from her room with the yellow skirt which Nino bought for him.
“You are perfect little lady,” Nino said while patting Yuri’s head and asking, “Do you want to go somewhere with me?”
“No Nino, I want her to be at home,” Jun interrupted but Yuri already nodded to her uncle.
“Daddy, can I go with uncle Nino?” she darted to Jun, held his fingers tightly, her rounded face tilted up, begged for him.
“Where will you go?” he spoke directly to Nino.
“Perhaps around the town, I meet my client at 7 in the evening,” Nino patted his shoulder softly.
“Don’t worry, she’ll be safe with me, I won’t kidnap my own niece from my only little brother,” he teased Jun. The later sighed and finally approved their little tour today. He watched Yuri finished her milk and waved her good bye at the front door, felt guilty that he had lied to her, but he didn’t know what to do. Yuri would never understand what prison is, and why her papa must be there and could not go home.
He peered through the curtain until both of them disappeared, Yuri looked so happy to meet her favorite uncle after a long time. When she returned home, she will ask about Ohno again and he must find a proper answer, Jun didn’t want to think about it. He slumped to his chair and his mind flew to Ohno, did he eaten by now? Is he alright? What if the officer tortured him? the negative thoughts flew freely inside his head, he didn’t tell anyone about it yet. If only Nino likes Ohno, he would be able to tell the elder about his problems and ask for help.
He remembered his words to Ohno yesterday that he will ask for Nino’s help but when his brother appeared like that in front of him, he couldn’t spill any word at all. He didn’t know where to start. Besides, Nino suggested him to work in Tokyo as if Ohno never existed and never be able to feed him and Yuri properly.
He distracted his mind by cooking, but his wounded hand throbbed so bad, he stopped and cancelled his initial thought. He walked out of his house and took the morning newspaper, took it inside and read it without any excitement. He was about to put it when the little column about the daily crime attracted his attention. He brought the newspaper closer to his eyes and the Ohno’s initial was mentioned.
A fisherman (OS) was caught near the junction at Hamamatsu town due to the robbery and murder case. He was accused of robbing an old lady and killed her at her house with the evidence on hand. The police still trying to reveal this case and found another culprit who might be included.
Jun squished the paper in his hands. He tore it apart, inserted it into the plastic bag and threw it to the dustbin. If Ogura or Nino or his neighbors already read it, they would guess that the initial mentioned there is his Ohno. How can Jun face their gaze after this? They will underestimate him as a partner of someone who committed a crime. The local paper has brought the news to the surface. It means the possibility that Ohno was wrong accused might be very low.
Was that mean Ohno would be in a jail for the rest of his life? If it happens how can he and Yuri continue their life? How can Jun explain to Yuri? He dropped his head to his table, inhaled a deep breath, felt the energy left his body.
“Satoshi, why this happened to us?” he whispered to himself. Is this Nino’s and his mother’s curse because he married a wrong person, according to them? But for Jun, Ohno is his destiny, no matter how Nino against him, he believes that Ohno is the right partner for him.
He was surprised by a knock on his door, he straightened his apron and darted to the entrance. Was there anything happened to Yuri so Nino brought him back that fast? He opened the door and found a post office man stood there, his uniform was so bright, contrasted with his dark skin.
“This is a letter for Ohno san,” he said with boring voice. He handed an envelope to Jun, requested his sign and thanked him. Without any other word, the post man left his door, leaving Jun checked the envelope. Ohno’s name was written there, along with the sender. Someone named Aiba Masaki. Curious, he opened it quickly while walking back to his dining kitchen.
Dear Ohno san,
Thanks for purchasing, we will deliver your order as soon as possible, as you requested, we’ll send it around August, we will tell you about the detail later.
Best regards,
Aiba Masaki
Jun flipped the paper on his hand to find another information but there was nothing written there. What did Ohno buy? And why Jun didn’t know anything about it? Did Ohno keep a secret from him? Should he go to the jail today and ask Ohno everything? But if he goes there, Nino would be suspicious on him. He took a look at the envelope once again and kept it safe inside his drawer.
***
Nino and Yuri returned around 4 in the evening. The little girl was completely asleep on Nino’s shoulder as they arrived at Jun’s apartment. Nino muttered that he needs to find a hotel, do his job and sleep. He bid Jun good bye after handed the sleeping Yuri to him. Jun carried his daughter in and brought her to the bed. Jun thought Nino didn’t read the newspaper yet, that’s why he said nothing. Jun was so scared to imagine his reaction if he already read the news.
He really wants to go to the jail and talk to Ohno right now, but he couldn’t leave Yuri alone. Ogura wasn’t home today, he and his wife went out of the town to visit their daughter. Jun had told Ogura everything last night and the old man also didn’t believe that Ohno did such crime, it must be a mistake. Jun laid himself on the bed, holding Ohno’s pillow tightly, tried to seek the smell that brought him to sleep.
The next day, Yuri asked about her Papa every single hour.
“Daddy, where is Papa?”
“Yuri wants Papa now.”
That continued until the evening, Yuri couldn’t be controlled anymore. She cried, threw her toys to Jun who was cooking the dinner, this time he lost his temper. He darted to his daughter and gripped her hand.
“Stop it Yuri! Your Papa is busy, he can’t go home, you got it!”
Yuri looked at his eyes, she was shocked and finally cry louder. Jun never screamed at his daughter like this before, he released the girl’s hand and pulled her into a hug. Ohno would never angry at Yuri, no matter what the reason, what will his husband say if he knew that Jun scolded Yuri?
“I’m sorry,” Jun patted Yuri’s head. She still cried and sobbed badly into his chest, it broke Jun’s heart, he didn’t know until when he can lie to Yuri about her Papa. Should he say the truth, it’s better than letting her know from someone else.
“Papa wouldn’t return home for a long time, he sailed to the ocean to catch big fishes for Yuri,” Jun said, he can feel his own tears rolled down into his cheeks. “Yuri must be a good girl, so when Papa returns home, he can be proud of you.”
Yuri nodded weakly on his chest, Jun patted her head again and wiped his tears, “Do you want to help Daddy cooking our dinner.”
“Yes,” she answered with her tiny voice, Jun lifted her to the kitchen and let her played with the ingredients, he sighed deeply, he needed Ohno more than he ever felt.
***
It has been a week since Ohno was caught. Jun visited him twice, brought him food from home. Ohno looked so skinny, but he formed a fake smile when Jun came there. Asked him about Yuri, Jun explained that everything alright, another lie to the person he loves, first to Yuri and now to Ohno. But he has no choice, he didn’t want to add any more stress to Ohno. The mysterious letter still save inside his drawer, but Jun couldn’t find any braveness to ask about it. He left the prison without looking back, still believe that Ohno would be released soon, no matter what it takes.
He managed to go to the sea today, maybe Ohno left some unfinished job and he would ask Ohno’s friends whether he can help so he could at least got Ohno’s part of payment. He told Yuri to play with Ogura for few hours until he returns, the old man and his wife just came back from their trip yesterday with many souvenirs. So Jun waved good bye to his daughter, he walked down the stairs, repaired the hat on his head so it covered his face properly.
Ohno never permitted him to help his work because of Jun’s asthma and he didn’t want Jun to leave Yuri alone at home. But today, he dared himself to go there, he didn’t want to take Ohno’s saving for the daily needs because they prepared that money for Yuri’s education later. The sun light hit his skin, he almost reached the sea when someone he didn’t know suddenly asked him.
“Is it true that your husband killed someone?”
That man spoke so loud, so people surround him can heard it too. All of them turned their head to Jun who felt his face burned, he wanted to scream that it wasn’t true, it’s just a slander and Ohno was trapped. But who would believe him? So he didn’t answer, just continued his steps to a ship where Ohno used to work with his comrade. He walked to the side of the small ship and found a man there, the one who introduced himself when he dragged Yuri here. He searched inside his head and finally found the name.
“Matsuoka san?”
“Jun,” he looked surprised to see Jun sudden appearance, “Is there anything I can help?” the man just wore a tank top to fight this hot day. His hands holding the net, he’s busy sewing it.
“I just want to know, is there anything I can do here? Perhaps Satoshi left unfinished work, before he…” Jun paused, this man must already know everything. He is Ohno’s comrade after all.
“You’ll burn that fairy skin of yours if you work under this sunshine,” Matsuoka chuckled but put down his needle and approached Jun, “I’m sorry for your husband,” he said with more serious tone.
“Thank you,” Jun felt discomfort because the tall man eyed him with a strange look. But maybe this Matsuoka always saw people with the same way because he looked at Jun just like this when they met for the first time.
“Are you sure you want to work? It’s really hard and tiring,” Matsuoka said, his sweat rolled down on his neck, he guided Jun to the shady place.
“Yes, I want to do what I can do, besides, I don’t know when Satoshi will get freed.”
“You’re right, he must be very suffer inside that dull prison.”
Matsuoka handed him a net and told him to sew it. Jun do what the other instructed him, then Matsuoka disappeared somewhere, he managed to ask how they divide their work later. He didn’t tell Ohno about it because he was sure that his husband would forbid him to do that kind of job, the sun shone brighter than before, the sweat covered his face, so Ohno works this hard every day for him and Yuri.
The wave sound can be heard from his place, Jun paused his movement, took a deep breath and felt the salty air, he was about to turn his head when he heard footsteps behind him, and a pair of hands gripped him tight.
“Jun, you’re smell good.”
“What are you…” but he can’t finish his sentence, Matsuoka pulled his face closer to him and tried to kiss him forcefully.
Jun struggled as strong as he could and push the man from him. He ran and was about to scream for help when Matsuoka got him again and covered his mouth. He fought the taller man again and found his body was pushed easily to the deck. He felt his back hit the hard surface, his heart pounding out of control and he saw the hunger inside Matsuoka’s eyes when he gripped his neck in hurting way.
“Don’t you dare to scream or this knife will nestle on your stomach. You don’t want your sweet little daughter lost her daddy too right Jun,” he teased Jun with the sharp knife on his hand, pressed lightly on his stomach.
Jun’s found a bucket near his right hand and before Matsuoka knew it, he hit the man’s head with it. Matsuoka groaned in pain, holding his head. Jun used the chance to get out from the ship but it was too late, Matsuoka caught his waist, threw him into the water below him and choked his neck. The water entered his nose and Jun struggled to be free from Matsuoka’s hand, this time the man who already turned insane let him free but he tugged Jun’s hair.
“Look at you Jun,” he eyed Jun with the mocking gaze, “Married Satoshi and must face a hard life, I bet he was terrible in everything including he couldn’t satisfy you in bed.”
Jun winced, he couldn’t breathe properly, he could see the blood streaming down from his leg and his elbow might be sprained. It seems there was nobody else around there, would be useless if he screamed for help. Matsuoka still held the knife, this man looked serious. If he died, who will take care of Yuri? The last thing he wanted is letting Yuri alone. He felt another punch on his cheek, sees Matsuoka’s face whose hungry and full of lust towards him.
“I’ve been waiting for this, see you lay helpless below me,” Jun felt a split dropped into his lips, “Satoshi is so lucky to have you, now he’s not here to protect you, he’s in jail and will never know that his beloved Jun was rapped,” Matsuoka laughed. Jun felt the anger burnt his head. He lifted his hand and punch the man’s face weakly, so it was no more than a tickle to him.
“Don’t you dare to insult him,” he spoke but the words can’t be heard properly, he’s out of breath, maybe he would die now, he thought.
“Yuri,” he screamed inside his head.
“I will insult him as much as I like while I do you,” Matsuoka tugged his hair harder than before and dragged his helpless body. Jun can’t fight anymore, he lets the man tugged him, even though it’s better for him to die than this but Yuri’s face floated inside his head, he would live for Yuri.
“Satoshi,” he called weakly, the knife on Matsuoka’s hand getting closer to his clothes, ready to rip it. Jun shut his eyes, waiting for the worst.

“Don’t you dare to insult him,” he spoke but the words can’t be heard properly, he’s out of breath, maybe he would die now, he thought.

“I will insult him as much as I like while I do you,” Matsuoka tugged his hair harder than before and dragged his helpless body. Jun can’t fight anymore, he lets the man tugged him, even though it’s better for him to die than this but Yuri’s face floated inside his head, he would live for Yuri.
