Chereads / The Clover Girl / Chapter 4 - Chapter 3: The mark

Chapter 4 - Chapter 3: The mark

After what happened in the academy. Hima was embarrassed. She apologized and then they move on with the topic but Hina had this curiosity to know about her mother's story yet she was even sad that she lost to her sister. While sitting on the grass in front of the sunset view she was trying to cheer herself up. And suddenly Daisuke Sensei sits beside her.

"What's up Hima?"- Daisuke Sensei

"Nothing much sensei"- Hina

"Hmm, are you upset about losing to your sister?"- Daisuke Sensei

"Why did you choose us to fight sensei? You knew I will lose to her"- Hina

"I wasn't the one choosing. Your father was the one"- Daisuke sensei

"Huh?"- Hina

"Your father wanted to check on how much you have grown. As you feel too uneasy to be with your father so the only way he wants to get to know you is by watching you"- Daisuke sensei

"I feel uneasy because as much strong he is I heard, I feel like I'm nothing like him or can never surpass him"- Hina

"Do you think you are not strong?"- Daisuke Sensei

*Hina remains silent*

"You really improved Hina. You are not weak. Remember to not give up but keep trying. Your hard work will one day pay off"- Daisuke sensei

"YES! I promise I will always keep trying and make my parents happy and proud of me"- Hina

Both teacher and student smiled having a very good afternoon. Soon when Hina reached her home and she ran to her mother and hugged her.

"Oh...you are here already sweety"- Ichika

"Maa! Today I fought Hima and I lost but sensei tells me that I really improved! Maa my hard work is paying off!"- Hina

"Hehe-I know you will improve dear. Did you hurt yourself anywhere?"- Ichika

"Mmm-yeah... I hurt my head quite a bit in here"- Hina

"Huh! I see the wound come here let me put some herbs"- Ichika

While Ichika putting some herbs, Hina noticed her mother has a mark on her forehead.

"Maa, can I ask you something?"- Hina

"Mmm-hmm yes"- Ichika

"Maa whats the mark on your forehead?"- Hina

"Oh, this? It symbolizes being the fifth leaf clover user"- Ichika

"Fifth? Maa there is five-leaf clover too?"- Hina

"Yes, it's extremely rare to see whoever awakens the fifth leaf"- Ichika

"Why do you hide your mark then maa?"- Hina

"Because it is good to not show what you have in you"- Ichika

"How did you awaken the fifth leaf maa?"- Hina

"Hehe, hard work"- Ichika

"Huh?"- Hina

"I didn't only awaken the fifth but I even awakened the fourth leaf too dear"- Ichika

"Maa, you were three leaf clover user?"- Hina

"Hehe yes you got that right"- Ichika

"How did you awaken it?"- Hina

"Hard work"- Ichika

"Hard work huh..."- Hina

Hina got inspired and started thinking about how hard it was for her mother to awaken the fifth leaf. It almost takes one person 30 years to awaken the fourth leaf. How much did it take her?

"Maa, I just wanna be like you. A kind person and even strong as u"- Hina

"Haha, you will be strong like me Hina. You are already more like me sweety"- Ichika
