Nami rings the doorbell. Sora and Sakura are behind her. Sora is holding Sakura's luggage.
Maria opens the door and looks at them. She notices Sakura and her mood immediately lightens up. She smiled and said "Sakura?"
Sakura smiled and went towards her and hugged her. "Where did you meet them?"
Maria notices her sister's mood isn't well so she looks at Sora and Nami questioningly. Sora said, "let's go inside first." Maria nodded.
A few moments later.
Sakura finishes telling her everything even in more detail and some of her other problems too.
Sora comes with a glass of fresh juice he just made and serves it to everyone. He sits on the last seat and listens to Sakura's complaining.
Maria sighed and said "stay with me for now. Don't make contact with that bustard." She is already fuming in anger and wants to go to her office and her House and beat both of them.
Sora looked at the three angry birds and thought 'yap. Nami got her temper from these two.'
They talk for an hour.
Nami in between went to her room and changed her clothes into a more casual one.
After the chat, Sora asked Maria "which room should I take her luggage?" Nami said "take it in your room. You can stay in my room."
Sakura looks at Nami and smirks at her. Nami blushes and avoids her eyes. Maria looked at Nami and said, "you can share the room with Sakura."
Sakura said, "if you don't want to, I can share with Sora."
Maria smiled hearing her sister and said "sure if you don't mind sleeping with him." Nami stood up and took Sakura's luggage and said "let's go, aunty, you need to get fresh."
Sakura smirks again seeing her taking her luggage upstairs hurriedly. Maria shake her head and look at sora and said "let's go to Mr Ren place now. We can return earlier and have our dinner with her."
Sora looked at the time and saw that they will have enough time before dinner if they go out now.
Sora nodded and said "okay mom. Get ready then." Mr Ren is home anyway.
Sakura looks at them and asks "where are you going?" Maria said, "I will tell you after coming back."
Sakura nodded and went upstairs to Nami's room. Maria also went to her room.
Sora waited downstairs and call Mr Ren to inform them about their visit.
He then converted 5,000 points into dollars. He can convert points into money but can't convert money into points. He wouldn't do this if it wasn't urgent.
Each point is worth 100 US dollars. And the money was also transferred to his account. And it's completely safe without any loophole for the government to use against him. He doesn't know how it works nor does he want to. He is happy as long as he can enjoy the result.
After a while, Maria came down. She is wearing a blue T-shirt and jeans with a blue jacket on.
Maria is still hesitant a little. Sora walked towards her and showed her the bank balance and said "trust me, mom"
Maria sighed and said, "let's go." Sora stood up and followed her outside.
They take a cab directly to Mr Ren place. It's not very far from there. The shop is near their house.
They reach there after 10 minutes of driving. Uncle Ren is outside waiting for them. He smiled seeing them and shook hands with Sora and said hi to Maria.
Maria smiles and returns the pleasantries too.
They followed him inside the house. His wife received them too.
She gives them tea to drink. Sora and Ren chat for a while. Uncle Ren also tells them why they are going to the USA.
It seems his friend doesn't want to come back and he also tells them to shift there.
After some more chatting, uncle Ren asked "do you want to buy the place?"
Sora nodded his head and said "yes."
Ren looks at Maria. She didn't talk until now. She decides to let Sora handle the matter. And she will add something if needed. She nodded at Mr Ren too.
After that Mr Ren smiles and they start to talk about the price.
It didn't take long for them to settle. Sora already knows the market value of the place. Uncle Ren even asks a little less than the value.
After everything settled they decided to go tomorrow to the registration office and transfer the ownership.
Maria smiles seeing Sora handling everything masterfully. Of course with Venelana teaching him, he should be able to handle this easily.
After that Ren asked them to wait for dinner but Sora said they have guests waiting and need to go back. Ren didn't ask more and smiled.
~scene change~
Sora is walking on the road carrying some groceries. Maria is walking beside him. She held Sora's hand and said "Honey, you did well back then." Sora smiled and said proudly "who's son am I, of course, it would be easier."
Maria smiles and holds his hand tightly. She looked at the sunset and said "it must have been hard for you all this time working and gathering money."
Sora shook his head and said, "no, if it's for you and Nami then it's as easy as water."
Maria smiles and asks "what is your plan? I am sure you didn't buy the place just because we were doing business there."
Sora smiled and said "I want to open a restaurant there. And with my cooking Skill, I have confidence in succeeding. But we need a permanent place too. We don't want to stop our business in the middle, do we? And now I have money so I decided to take the risk."
Maria thought and nodded her head and said "yes, with your cooking skills. The business will be good."
Maria hugged his hips and kissed his cheek and said "This time the business will be a lot better than before."
Sora smiled and nodded too. They return home after another minute of walking.
