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... )

Chapter 24I sighed quietly to myself while I rested my head with my left hand and playing with my beer glass with my right. I was at Genta’s sushi restaurant. I had already been there for a few hours, trying to drown myself in alcohol but ( Read more... )

Chapter 23Aiba-san and I made a silent descent down the stairs, when my father who was sitting-almost as if he was waiting for us-in the living room, spotted us. His legs were crossed as he sat on the sofa with an English newspaper in his hand. I rolled my eyes as soon as I noticed what he was doing. I was dumbfounded to see him reading something ( Read more... )

Chapter 22I covered my face in my pillow. I wanted to scream on top of my lungs but I was overwhelmed with sadness and helplessness that I cried. Somehow it was a new feeling-crying your heart out. It’s been a long time since I let out my tears for a reason. Actually, from what I can remember, the only time I cried was when I sat on the cold and ( Read more... )

Chapter 21“Miss, dinner is ready. Your father says that you should wear your best dress. There will be a guest joining you for dinner.” The maid said before she quickly excused herself from my room. I furrowed my eyebrows. Guest? Since when did father bring guest over for dinner? Then I scoffed. “Wear my best dress? Am I doll that he can show ( Read more... )

Currently I'm working on a request fanfiction from janipanda. I'm about 3 chapters into it. My progress has been slow but I've been reading a lot of books to avoid any writer's block.

Chapter 19

I drove quietly on the smooth moving highway. I gripped my hands tighter around the steering wheel as I tried to focus on driving while looking back at my memories.

Chapter 18“You’re asking me if I have any sort of romantic feelings for him?” I asked to clarify his question to me. Ninomiya-san nodded his head. I thought of his question in my head. Me, have any feelings for Aiba-san? I slowly cocked my head to the side. I don’t recall having any feelings of love, endearment, and care for Aiba-san. I looked at ( Read more... )

Chapter 17It has been a few days since I met Aiba-san or Ninomiya-san. I was happy that they avoided me. I already had so many things to worry about. I didn’t want them to become a thorn at my side again. However I had been getting a few text messages from Aiba-san, asking if I was okay or what I was doing at that moment. A normal person would ( Read more... )
