The Takari Drabbles: Good Night
"Grandma… do you need anything else before I go to bed?"
"I'm fine… Thank you, sweetheart."
"No problem, Grandma… Grandma? Can I ask you something?"
"What is it, dear?"
"Well… how great of a person was Grandpa?"
"Grandpa was the greatest. He was a fantastic person inside and out."
"He sure was…"
"Yes…"
"Grandma… Do you miss Grandpa?'
"Sometimes… But not really…"
"Why?"
"Well… I know that he's always going to be in my heart and in my mind. Even if he's not with me right now… I know that someday, I'll be with him once again."
"Yeah…"
"Hmm… Oh, sweetheart… You shouldn't worry about me. Go to bed now. Tomorrow's a school day, you know."
"I know, Grandma. I just want to make sure that everything's alright… that's all."
"You're such a good grandson, Takeru."
"Thanks, Grandma."
"Heh… That smile of yours… it reminds me of your Grandpa. Your eyes, your cheeks, and your hair all remind me of the young boy I fell in love with… I'm glad that I have such a handsome grandson to remind me of him…"
"Grandma… Will Grandpa ever come back?"
"…I don't know."
"Oh…"
"Don't worry, Takeru. I'm fine…"
"Grandma… Do you hate Grandpa for what he did?"
"No… The thought of having any negative feelings never crossed my mind…"
"Grandma…"
"Takeru… It's okay. We just have to wait. There's nothing we can do. I've been waiting for years and years…"
"Grandma… I'm just worried… You call out his name every night…"
"I'm calling out for you, dear… It just happens that you are named after him, despite your father's wishes…"
"But Dad said that you would call out Grandpa's name ever since he left you and Dad…"
"Well… You caught me there… Can't deny that one…"
"I just want you to be happy again, Grandma… I never even met him, but all the stories you tell me makes him sound so great…"
"He was a great man… and he still is."
"Yeah… Just know that I love you, Grandma… with all my heart… and I'll always be there for you…"
"Knowing that makes me feel a lot better, sweetheart... You always know what to say."
"Hehe… I have a gift, I guess. I probably got it from him…"
"Sure did."
"Hmm… Good Night, Grandma… I love you."
"Good Night… Good Night… Good Night, my darling Takeru… Come back… Please… I love you, Takeru… Just know…"
That's it. Rip me a new one/Send me your love! Anything's fine.
Happy days and Happy reading!
