“I don’t have anything to let you know.” Say Karina.
“We don’t know about it yet. The day still long, Karina.” Say Keito as he winks to Karina but Karina just ignores him.
After they finish breakfast, both of them leaves the cafe and Keito pulls her to walk at crowded street. Karina doesn’t have idea about what Keito want to go at that time. She a bit shock when gets into a boutique.

***************************
“Why you like to hide yourself?” ask Keito.
“I don’t want anyone remember me actually.” Say Karina. Keito seem confuse with her words until she says, “If not papa brought me into his family, I just another normal girl.”
“What do you mean by ‘brought into his family’?” ask Keito.
“I’m not their real daughter.” Say Karina.
“But everyone knows that you’re Kuzuryu’s daughter and you even get into the news when you were born.” Say Keito. He says like that because he heard it from somewhere.
“Yeah but it is not me. What the similarities that I and their real daughter have are name and date of birth. Their real daughter died when she was 2 because of sickness. They found me as I was borned at that hospital. My biological mom is their friend and that time, she already suffers from chronic disease and could only lives for several months.” Say Karina.
“So, by bringing you into the family, no one will know that you’re their adopted daughter.” Say Keito.
“Yes... that’s why I keep hiding myself. I know when my brother takes over papa’s place; he will kick me out for sure.” Say Karina.
“I will do something before he kicks you out.” Say Keito in low voice.
“Keito, did you say something just now?” ask Karina and Keito just shook her head.
“No, I don’t say anything.” Say Keito. Both of them just walk and spend time for awhile before Keito send her back home. Karina really happy on the day as it is her first time spends time with someone like him.

“It’s okay. I just stay in my room.” Say Karina.
“You better enjoy the moment. At least, when I kick you out after I get the wealth, one of them could help you when you’re their girlfriend.” Say Toma.
“I have no interest in love. I need to focus on my studies first.” Say Karina before she gets into her room. She locked herself in the room and takes her rest.
‘I will kick you out after I get the wealth.’ Toma’s words already in Karina’s mind. He knows about adopted daughter and really wants to kick her out from 5 years ago. She already uses to hear it and she doesn’t care about it.

On the school day, Keito tries to find Karina but she still manages to escape from him with her hoodies. His friends already suspect something with Keito but never manage to dig it out. Yuto decide to ask one of Karina’s friend who also his lover, Yura.
“Does anything weird happen to your friend?” ask Yuto.
“Do you mean Karina?” ask Yura and Yuto just nods to reply it. “She just says that Nakahara-sensei keep asking her to decide her future. Why you ask about it?”
“No, it just... Keito seem really weird and I suddenly think if he has anything with your friend since she could hide something really well.” Say Yuto.
“Even we ask her if she’s going out with Keito, she will lead us to other way.” Say Yura.
“Keito really look like different him. He is always spacing out more than usual.” Say Yuto.
“How about we spy them?” Yura gives suggestion and Yuto just agree with it. After school, Yuto follow from Keito’s back while Yura do it at Karina. By the end of the day, both of them can’t find anything that could make Keito has something with Karina.
“We really need to find one thing that could conclude they have spent time together.” Say Yuto. Yura just nod her head and relax herself.

“Ah, I hope I can reach there on time.” hopes Karina in her heart while walking along the street.
Suddenly, a car stop right next to her but she decide to ignore the car. She really needs a place to rest for awhile while waiting for the rain stop. The car that stops at her is actually following her and Karina really surprise to see who it is.
“Keito, what are you doing here?” ask Karina.
“That is actually my question. I’m just on the way to go back home and saw you, walking in the rain. Are you running away from house?” Say Keito.
“No, I’m actually want to go visit someone.” Say Karina.
“But you could postpone it with weather like this right now.” Say Keito.
“I can’t postpone it as I already agree to visit today.” Say Karina.
“How about I send you to that place?” suggest Keito.
“I’m happy to hear it but I don’t think I could accept your offer.” Say Karina.

Keito wipes her tears and says, “Your mom looks really beautiful. You inherit your mom’s face feature.”
“She really beautiful and she deserve happy life but some bastard ruins her life. He just gave her troubles and she raised me with all her will until her last breath even she had no much time to live.” Say Karina.
“But thanks to her, I could meet you.” Say Keito.
He feels Karina really love her biological mother but never tell anyone about it. After that, Keito brings her to meet his grandparent. Both of them really happy to accept Karina as their guests at the house. Grandmother says, “You must be really tired. You should take rest first.”
