I couldn't sleep after I woke up from that nightmare. Then I heard the door opened. It was near midnight when he came back home. I run to the door and find him with broken nose and ripped lips, and his nose was still bleeding. "Dad, What happen to you again?" I asked with worry.
"It's ok baby, I'm ok" he said while taking off his coat and head to bathroom. I followed behind him and try to look for first aid kits. "Who did you fight with this time? Did you get on with a married woman? Did her man did this to you again?" I asked while looking for antibiotic to sanitise the wound. "What do you mean?" He said laughing "do you think I'm a gangster? Going around always fighting people?" He said looking at me with a smile. I tried to clean his wound and patch him up, but I could smell alcohol on him. I looked him in the eyes. He looks tired.
I take a deep breath, You have to tell him, I thought to myself. "Dad ...You know ... I want to get back to Tokyo" I said trembling. I was scared he would say no. "What do you mean? It's not holiday and you have school!" he was flustered while trying to look me in the eyes.
"WHAT school? aren't we going to move to Milano?" I said almost screaming.
"Why are you screaming? That's right, we're going to move there and you're going to start in a new school!" He calmly left the bathroom and I followed him while talking. "I'm not going dad, I'm tired of this lifestyle. I don't want to go to a new school, I don't want to live with you anymore!" he stopped and looked back at me. "Why? What did I done wrong? I do anything for you, I did all this for you"
"What do you mean you did all this for me? You go sleeping around and making trouble for me?" I said trying not to shake.
"Yeah I'm working for you" he was looking at me dead in the eyes. I'm so done with him, I thought. "I bought ticket for Tokyo for tomorrow. Lets go back to grandma and live there from now on, I will start working in grandma's shop so you don't need to do anything" I tried to hold back my tears, to look strong. He was mad, but didn't say anything. He stare at me with a serious expression, then he start walking to his room and slammed the door.
I stood there for a couple of second to process what just happened, but my tears were faster then me to realise the pain, so they start falling down from my eyes. I start walking away from his room to mine, lay down on my bed and cry myself to sleep.
