View topic - Bara no nai Hanaya [Flower Shop without A Rose]

The opening scene was so heart-warming, and I was so happy to see it. On the day where Shizuku's friends' mothers are invited to school, Mio was there for Shizuku. Then Eiji came to pick them up. Shizuku told Eiji, "Mio-chan was the most beautiful mama in class!!". Eiji smiled, "She's not your mama yet,". Mio was startled, "...yet?". Then, Eiji and Mio became all awkward, Shizuku was giggling. This might be the only happy moment in the episode xD

A lawyer came to the flower shop and told Eiji that Shizuku's grandfather is going to file up a custody case. Eiji was shocked to hear this.

Meanwhile, Mio called Naoya and told him that they better look for Shizuku's mother's friend who taped all the videos for her. She want to hear more about Eiji from that friend.

There was only one Eiji-Mio romantic moment in tonight's episode. Mio came to Eiji's house bringing her hand-made 'nikujaga'. They can hear Hishida-obaasan and Shizuku's singing from the bathroom. Eiji said, he likes to hear them singing from the side. Mio asked, "From the side? Don't you want to join the happiness?".
Eiji replied, "I can't join, if I join I'll become too happy, then I'll be scared. Scared that someday God will take away this happiness from me, God will take away everything from me,".
"I see... it must be coz what happened to your wife, ne... you were happy together... but then... Wait a minute, are you thinking the same about me? You think I'll disappear someday?" Eiji didn't answer. "Heyy~ it sounds like you're okay even if I disappear then!" Mio pouts and pretend to be unhappy. Eiji firmly said, "Please, don't disappear from my side... pls don't disappear...". Mio became all happy when she heard that, "Right! You should've say so from the beginning!".

Anzai told Mio his intention about taking away Shizuku's custody rights. Mio was shocked and totally against this, she said she still have the money and she can just give it back to Eiji. Anzai said, he still hold the card, too, which is her father... he's the only one who can operate surgery on her father. Mio firmly said, "Then, just kill him!!! In change for that, I'll hate you and I'll take my revenge to you!! I'll revenge you with all might, I'll make you suffer your whole life and I'll never let you go!".
I have to say, Mio said a quite scary line... she's really trapped....

Hishida-obaasan told Ono-sensei about Mio's identity. That night, Naoya broke in to Mio's place and point out a knife on her, he demand her to tell him where the money is, coz he really need it, he didn't mean to threat her like this, but he really need the money. Mio tried to struggle, but Naoya finally got the money and escape from there, he bumped into Ono-sensei who just about to visit Mio.

On another day, Ono-sensei and Mio talked in a cafe, that sensei knows about Mio's identity. Sensei believe she's a good person and that her feelings for Eiji is true, coz she stayed even after she received the money. And she told Mio, that Eiji already knows, coz Hishida told him first. Mio was mentally shocked, she remember everything Eiji said when they drove to the beach together. She cried on the street and just fall, sit on the ground, crying, without noticing there are many kids passing by. And it was raining.

Eiji determined to let Shizuku go, coz he thinks Shizuku will be happier in her grandfather's place. She can learn piano, ballet and everything. He came to Anzai's place and told him about this. Then Anzai asked him, "I would like to confirm one thing... you ARE the guy who killed my daughter right?". Eiji replied, "Hai...".

At home, Shizuku just got back from school, Eiji told her to sit down. He told her that from now on, she'll live in grandfather's house together with Hishida-san. But he's not coming with her.

Shizuku: Father, did I do something that make you hate me now?
Eiji: Yes... you're a troublesome, I'd like to live alone from now on...
Shizuku: (in tears) Then I'll be a good girl from now on...

Eiji didn't say a word, Shizuku became more and more panic, she cried, wheep and beg Eiji to let her be together with him. Suddenly, Eiji slap her face, and said in a loud voice, "I HAD ENOUGH OF YOU!!!!". Shizuku run out the house, in the middle of the rain. I really cried buckets on this scene Shameful Cry

Can't believe Eiji did that!!!! Shocked

Later Mio called Eiji and told him that Shizuku is sleeping at her place now. Mio was surprised that Eiji is willing to let Shizuku go. Mio asked, "This is not just about the money, right?? There's something else right? Tell me, what is it! You promise that you'll never lie to me,". Eiji just said, "I know that this day will come someday... I just know... This is God's plan..."

Anzai was in the middle of surgery, but suddenly his fingers gone stiff. He immediately asked the nurse to find another doctor to replace him. In the office, Naoya was there and said to him, "I see... this is a great finding... it seems you're losing your winning card... actually you CAN'T operate surgery on Mio-san's father...".

The last scene, Mio was putting Shizuku to sleep. She was watching Shizuku's mother's video, but it finished and the screen went blank. After few minutes, suddenly the screen goes back on again, its Shizuku's mother's in another place, saying, "Alriiight! So now I'll introduce you my friend who has been taping the videos for me... c'mon, c'mon, don't be shy... show your face to the camera... here, come on.... HERE HE IS~~ EIJI-KUN DEESU!!!".

It is EIJI on the camera... he is Shizuku's mother's friend who had been taping the videos = NOT Shizuku's father.

Mio is MENTALLY SHOCKED once again.... wait... wait, I think THAT WAS ME, who got MENTALLY SHOCKED....
