EpilogueA year has passed since I kissed Aiba-san for the first time at our favourite place, a place where only the two of us know. I sat on the ground as I used the tree trunk as a support, while Aiba-san took this as an opportunity and is resting his head on my lap. At first I absolutely, downright refused him to do it but after hearing his ( Read more... )

I was happy to find out that some of you wanted Asuka and her father to make up. I was worried that you may have felt that their relationship can't be repaired or should stay the same. Anyways, here is Asuka's mother's side of the story. I hope you enjoy and try not to cry! （＾▽＾●）

Now the moment that (hopefully) most of you have waited for! I hope you enjoy this chapter, especially the very cute and funny moment with Asuka, Aiba and his father. (─‿‿─)

Chapter 29The bright sun that shined through the living room window had waked me up from my sleep. I blinked my eyes a couple of time ( Read more... )

Chapter 28We had moved ourselves to the living room. Aiba-san brought out a pack of beer while I stuck with water. I had drunk a lot of beer previously at the sushi restaurant so I already had my fill of alcohol for the day. I sat on the floor in front of the coffee table while Aiba-san sat on the sofa to my right. I noticed his head started to ( Read more... )

Chapter 27Mariko sat quietly as she listened to all her father’s concerns and advice. Her father began to scold her for locking herself up for months and at the same time, told her that he was relieved to see her. I lowered my head and was keeping a distance from them. I figured that it would be best if I gave them some room to sort out their ( Read more... )

Chapter 26I traveled up the short and narrow stairs with each step making the floor creak. My heart raced as if it was going to explode out. The Aiba family remained quiet with Aiba-san’s father in front of me, while Aiba-san trailed behind me. Even though I couldn’t see it, I had a feeling that Aiba-san didn’t want me to see Mariko. He was ( Read more... )

Chapter 25I placed my Bluetooth headset on my ear as I started my car. A rush of feelings burst into me. I was happy, sad and confused. How could fate play a trick on me? The person who I knew where my sister was was always near me. I didn’t have to spend so many years using private detectives and tons of money to search for her whereabouts. She ( Read more... )
