Akemi had never thought to find the man back, not even after Himari was born. The man didn't even know that she was pregnant with his child. She was already content with the simple life that she had with her daughter.
Sometimes, the fragments of memories she shared with him crossed her mind yet, they remained as memories.
"Mom."
Her only daughter's voice lured Akemi back to reality. Lips curling up, she smiled at the daughter who would always be precious to her.
Himari spoke in a gentle voice yet she sounded firm.
"Before, you were the one who told me to cherish Kazuya because both of us love each other. You didn't even mind that I've only known him for a short time. So, I want you to do the same for yourself."
Himari just wanted her mother to be happy.
