After helping him buy the necessities Joshua also helped to put them inside the car.
Aki was relieved, 'Thank you so much! I'm really not good at this.'
Joshua smiles, 'You never had a child before that's why.'
'Ya. Guess so.' Aki was feeling surprisingly calm
Joshua said, 'You didn't answer my question.'
'What is it that you exactly want to know?' Aki's heart became heavy.
'About everything. About your past,How you were feeling about Rei then,how you are feeling about Aunt Siya now,how you are coping up with everything.' Joshua was staring at his eyes.
Aki went silent. He closed his eyes.
'Grief...anger…guilt..regrets...numbness…I'm all broken. Thanks for asking.' Aki opened his eyes with a fake smile and looked directly at Joshua. Joshua's eyes wavers. He couldn't keep looking at Aki anymore. Joshua came close to him and hugged him after waiting a moment. Aki stays as he was without hugging him back.
