5 Chapter 5

In the room, you could see two young people somewhat uncomfortable looking at each other

These were Yukio and Aika, who did not know what to say for what had just happened

Aika is very nervous and on the verge of tears, for that mistake, she has just made could ruin the friendship they had built for years

Without thinking, she got up to run out of the room, but suddenly felt a hand hold his wrist

She directed her gaze towards Yukio who softened his doll

Yukio scratched his neck nervously "Before you run ... How about we talk about this?" He said in the best loving tone he could do

Aika looked towards the door and then again to Yukio, she felt very complicated but she nodded

Yukio got up from the seat while holding the girl's wrist "Aika ... You, do you feel something for me?" He asked in the most direct way.

Aika was stunned, she did not know what to say, if she said yes, she could be rejected, if she said no, then she would deny and could lose everything

It was a dilemma, but she suddenly felt that Yukio was embracing her

She widened her eyes in disbelief

Yukio: "You do not have to tell me now ... But you know, if it's what I think, I would not mind listening to him ..." He stopped and hugged her harder. "After all ... Who would reject a Woman as beautiful as you? " He said with a smile and a loving tone

Aika was very embarrassed and thought -El ... !! Maybe he is telling me indirectly! "His mind was in chaos, but he nodded" In ... "

Yukio smiled and walked away from her "Well, maybe we should go down ... Oka-san could think things wrong at this rate" He said with some nerves

She noticed Yukio's words and felt her face flush, remembered her mother's words and ran out of the room to clear things up

Yukio watched Aika's departure and laughed softly. "She is very pretty".

He looked at the hand with which he held Aika's wrist, and then remembered his late wife

He felt complicated, but then he remembered the words that he used to hear coming from her

-The life is made to live with emotion and happiness, not to be bitter in disappointments ... Why do not you go out and look for freedom? -

They were his first words when they met, since then they stayed engraved in his mind

He had a melancholy look, but then nodded firmly and left the room

Now we can see three people sitting around a table, Aika who had a somewhat red face while eating slowly

At his side was Yukio who was simply listening to the great words of Mrs. Kiryuu, known as Aisa

Aisa: "Well, I do not understand why they hide it if I see everything," she said with a fork towards Aika as if it were a microphone "Come on, talk little girl"

Aika: "And ... I, already for the fifth time! It's not what you think!" She said very embarrassed, but also angry at the insistence of her mother

Aisa ignored her and directed her attention towards Yukio "Ok, the little girl will not speak, so you as a man must take responsibility! Tell me your actions Mr. Culpable!" She said in a tone of order, but Yukio knew that she was playing

He looked at Aika, who seemed to want to bury her head in her food and decided to bother her a little

Yukio: "I, Oka-san, confess everything!" He said raising his voice and suddenly took the hand of Aika "I have decided to take responsibility for my actions! I ask the hand of this young woman!" He said with a resolute and firm tone

Aika choked and started to cough while she was too red, her eyes fell on Yukio, she was so stunned that she felt like making a hole in the ground for her

Aisa was speechless and did not know what to do, she was only bothering the two young people, but she did not think that Yukio would actually say such things

There was a sudden silence before he spoke again "No? ... Tsk! And I dreamed of marrying Aika and giving her many grandchildren" He said with a sad tone

Both girls were silent

Aika: Silly! Does he really mean it! - She was looking at Yukio, very excited but also nervous - He's asking for my hand ?! "

Aisa: "..." She was mute and under the fork, had a look in a trance and then settled "Is that a joke?"

Yukio: "Yes," He said the laughing

His words caused Aika to feel sad, disillusioned and aggrieved, as for Aisa she had a complicated feeling but she nodded.

She was going to say something but Yukio spoke again "Just for now ... In the future, if it will be serious" He said shrugging and rubbing Aika's hand tenderly

It was the last drop for Aika when she smiled beautifully and blushed as her mind went into space

Aisa looked at Yukio seriously with thoughts. "How did this happen!?" YUKARI our promise seems to be fulfilled! - She was very happy, she smiled softly "I guess it's okay ... Something else to declare?"

Yukio shook his head "No, for now, that's all"

Aisa nodded, and felt relaxed knowing that there was nothing else to surprise her, looked at her daughter who seemed to be in space and smiled

So the three of them ate together and chatted with each other, Aisa was bothering Aika, but Aika was not paying attention, she had a silly smile looking at Yukio

Soon Yukio had to go home, he did not forget to take the laptop

---

When Yukio left, you could see Aisa looking at him from the entrance, she had a tender look towards the

Aisa: "My daughter's boyfriend ... huh? If Yukari found out about this, I'd sure be emotional." She said as she remembered her ex-classmate and smiled

She recalled that when she found out that her daughter was harassing Yukio, she got very angry and punished her.

Yukio was the son of his best friend, although neither of the two children knew it

She was upset for a while with Aika about that, but suddenly one day her daughter stopped bothering him and started talking to her.

She followed him everywhere as if they were little brothers, they became friends so fast that she left Aisa confused, but happy.

Sometimes she came to ask for money, Aisa felt strange because Aika did not ask for anything, so she asked him for an explanation

But after hearing her reason, she could not help giving it to him, anyway, she planned to pay for all of Yukari's treatment in the hope that her friend would live

Aisa: "Maybe they find the happiness that we could not" She said happily and turning around to enter his house
