After taking a shower and changing her clother, Madoka found her father that had came home and sat with her mother in the livingroom.
Sitting face to face, Madoka felt nervous. Usually they were just exchanging tales about what happened in the day; there has never been such nervousness. It seemed the parents wanted Madoka to tell the story.
“I, I…think I want to aim to be a doctor.”
“Are you serious? it’s probably a bit awkward if I say it, but because Madoka is not really smart at studying…”
“Yes…because of that, I’m embarrassed to say this, even now I do not know if it is a dream that is possible to be realized…”
Between the three of them, silence reigned for a while.
“That, the things with grandma caused you to think that way, is that true?”
“Yes. At that time, I realized that until then I was just living for myself. Like that doctor, I want to be a person who can be helpfulm for someone else…”
Madoka stood alone, continuing her words.
“When Grandma had to face death, at that situation, the doctor whom Grandma entrusted her peace of mind…the scene at the time, strongly reverberated in my heart. Although I don’t know whether I can do the same thing…”
“So…at that time, you thought about thing like that…”
Listening Madoka’s mother’s words, her father too folded his arms and nodded.
“And then, the lady today, who is she? What is it about teaching you lessons?”
“Ichiyanagi Makoto, he’s my classmate, he reached the first place in the entrance exam. Seeing his seriousness in receiving lessons, I feel he can grant my dream that seems like impossible.”
“First place eh. That sounds amazing.”
“Today, truly unexpectedly met with his mother and became acquainted. Spontaneously, I asked her.”
“I understand your intention too.”
Madoka’s face became a little bit troubled.
“To tell you the truth, at the beginning he rejected me because there was no time, but there’s his mother that persuaded him for me, because she considered it is also for his child’s interest.”
“Oh…”
“He is sort of studying many things everyday. Therefore, I think probably I can come to his house sometimes.”
“Doesn’t he have cram shool?”
“No, He really has been studying alone.”
Madoka’s parents were impressed.
“Top student is really amazing, eh. Madoka, how would you imitate someone like that?”
“Uh, that’s probably impossible… I now wish to comprehend what’s the best thing to do, rather than giving up when I don’t understand anything.”
“Well, certainly so.”
Said her father, slapping his knee.
“Yes, but I also understand Madoka’s seriousness, the other person too seemingly serious. How to say it, Madoka has grown up…well, I’m glad, also sad.”
“That’s right. Truly.”
After muttered that, her mother’s eye had became red.
“Eh, what, what’s wrong?”
From the corner of her mother’s eyes, a little tears spilled.
“A daughter that is spirited, willful, and mischievous, aware that she wanted to be useful, and thinking, talking about dreams for the future. Somewhat happy, or somewhat lonely, not wanting to see her grow so fast….but, it will be a good thing, right.”
“I agree. It means, we are not wrong in raising her up.”
“Mother, father…”
To be accepted with pleasure like this, in thinking like this, is the first time for Madoka too.
Somehow, there’s a sense of being loved.
To think that they’ve been worrying over her.
She didn’t know that she was not only trusted but also loved.
Madoka too, somehow felt something warm in her chest.
“However, although Madoka’s grades is actually okay, I’m worried”
“Certainly.”
“…..”
Madoka’s excitement faded away.
Although it might be the truth, but it’s not the words she wanted to hear at the time.
Therefore, let’s work hard.
“Anyway, since you have decided, do your best. Speak up if you need help. Also, don’t overdo it.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Madoka nodded obediently.
Her father stroke her head gently. Her feeling after a while, was somewhat embarrassed, somewhat happy, it was a wonderful sensation.
On that day, in the talk until late at night there was an uprush feelings. While remembering, as if wrapped up in warmth, Madoka fell asleep.
