Early Friday morning, with Airi...
This morning, Ami and I shared the same dream. Likewise, we were both were withdrawn about it... We carried on with our routine of getting ready for school.
When I was in my room, my phone started to ring. I looked at the caller ID, and I was surprised by who it was.
Airi cheerfully said, ''Hi, dad! (Smiles) Why are you calling?''
Airi's father contently said, ''It feels like ages since I last overheard my sweet daughter's vocal chords. For your information, I did have a reason to call you.''
Airi brightly asked, ''What is is, dad?'' Airi's father tensely said, ''I will ask. Are you and your sister managing fine, in your current living conditions?''
Airi merrily replied, ''(Remembering) Dad, for us, it has been tons and tons of merry fun! I'm still learning new and new things about my sister, each day!''
Airi's father calmly said, ''How wonderful! Listen. I don't want me and my ex-wife's efforts to be wasted, so please... Make tons of memories with your sister, my lovely daughter.''
Airi happily asked, ''Dad. I adore my sister. It makes me wonder; why did you and mom spilt us up for so many years? What happened?''
Airi's father fearfully said, ''(Panics) T-That will have to wait. At present, it's too cruel for my spirit to recall! You will have to wait, my curious daughter. S-See you later! (Hangs up)''
Airi dismally said, ''Dad..... Ahh, drats..... Why not...?''
Now, I strive to introduce all of you, to our dad. Where to start? Meet Kosuke Ayami!
Dad is a tall slim man with sand-colored short hair, red glasses, and he shares my smile. he wore a dark brown business suit, for his fresh new second job.
He married mom at 31 years old, and a year later, they brought into the world, two identical twins, me and Ami! I've been raised by him, since he and our mom divorced.
Growing up, I had asked him lots of times why him and mom, spilt up. Yet, he wouldn't share what incited the break up, with me or anyone close to us.
Whenever I asked him about it, his face said lots of odd things. I wish I knew what they meant...? After the incident, he gotten a second new job as a Licensed Sales Producer.
Meanwhile, with the dad...
Kosuke anxiously thought, ''That was close... (Breath of relief) That pursuing nature of my daughter... I wonder whom she got it from? Me, most likely... Without that quality, I would've never met Rei..... Ah?!....''
Later, at the Mitaka bus stop...
Kosuke calmly thought, ''The bus should be here momentarily... (Looks around) This simple city, it's life never changes, then again, It's so different from when I was a fledgling...
I view at these same sights about every single day, watching it transform around me... Oh... The bus is approaching. (Waiting)''
Kosuke alarmedly thought, ''Wait! Across the street! --Is that!'' Kosuke said loudly, ''Rei?!?''
The woman that dad saw, looked across the street, cause she felt something. All she saw was the public bus, and went back to walking...
Later, at dad's meeting...
Kosuke firmly stated, ''Right. So we will go with my pitch. Everyone, vote! (12/13 votes, yes!) One of you, let the client know our final decision right away. I hope they like it!''
Coworker shouted, ''Meeting, dismissed!''
Kosuke eagerly thought, ''At last. Now it's time for my crafted lunch, than I resume our gameplan!''
Behold, our dad is terrific at his job! In almost 14 years, he's always worked hard at it.
A few hours back, with Ami...
Ami thought, ''School has yet to commence, and I feel drained already... (Groans) I must hurry it up, before she appears to intrude in my silence. (Phone Rings) Ahh-Ah! Ohh, my phone.....''
Ami asked, ''Mom? What do you want?''
Ami's mom said, ''I called my little girl, cause I yearned to know how you're faring. How are you, ami?''
Ami tensely replied, ''If you want my answer, I would say... The last two weeks have been tiresome... My sister is such a headache.....''
Ami's mom asked loudly, ''Tiresome? -What does that mean?'' Ami said, wordlessly, ''Uh, what?''
Ami's mom acridly said, ''F***! You speak like your father, y'know! He, without fail, always spoke so much like you!''
Ami flustered, said, ''Mom. I have to tell you.'' Ami's mom said, ''What? Speak up, will-ya?!''
Ami fidgetily said, ''(Swallows) Mom... Sure, it is exhausting here for certain reasons, still, -I desire to stay here with my sister. (Blushes)''
Ami's mom hesitantly said, ''Um... I think I get what you're telling me. Mm-hm! . .Oh, S***! (Panics) Honey, I have to leave now or I'll be late for work! (Noises) Have a fine day, and bye! (Hangs up)''
Ami glumly said, ''Her voice could shatter glass...''
I will tell you a bit about our...interesting mother... She is Rei Ayami.
She is a short slim female, with lime-colored shoulder-length hair, peculiar mistletoe hair accessories similar to mine, and she is constantly expressing a fearsome scowl...
Because of her career, she always wore many kinds of fashionable outfits. Most of the time, she switches her outfits with regularity...
She married our dad at 30, and a year later, we were born... Mom raised me for the last 14 years. As I developed, I barely ever inquired about why they spilt up.
If I did so, she would be seething with fury. What transpired back then?
Mom explained to me, that as a child, she dreamed of being a fashion model. Somehow, with her 'personality', she was hired near high school graduation period.
Even now, at 47, she still works as a model for specific magazines. She's 'talented' apparently...
Rei's early morning...
Rei vexingly thought, ''My daughter... How did she learn to speak like him, when she never saw her father in years?! It's so... what's the word? (!)--It's so irksome! (Growling)''
Street man fearfully thought, ''What's her deal? I don't want to get near her!''
Rei angrily thought, ''Why did that job have to be a 40 minute walk away? (Groans) At least... This helps with my weight requirement and body slimming... (Halts)''
Mom stopped in her path, when she thought she sensed a familiar gaze.
Rei irately asked ''Huh? Hm... What was that presence I felt? (Starts Walking)'' She lost the feeling, and kept on walking...
Later, at the magazine shoot...
[Click, Click!]
The photographer happily said, ''Yes--that's the look! (Click!) Give me that 'not a care' stance! Turn your back to us, and move your head 20 degrees to your right! Ah, that's it!
(Tons of clicks) O-kay! That's a wrap for today!''
Rei sighed and thought, ''I wonder how many people might buy these middle-class outfits cause of my shoot today? I should buy the magazine when it's published. (Grabs bag) To the next job...''
Late at night, on the way home...
Rei calmly thought, ''This city... I've said this before, but this city shines at nighttime like I do in my career... Look at me, 47 and I'm still a adored model...
I've dreamed of working as one since I was a brat, but why was I? (Reminiscing) That's right... Cause I always got lost in the natural glamor of this world... Mm-hm... Listen to me...
(Stomach growling) Mhmm... That's right. I haven't ate since breakfast... That ramen joint over there. Perfect! That should work for my daily meat intake. (Smiles)''
Mom traversed into a small ramen eatery with only a few customers.
Rei decided, ''Excuse me? I will take the Tonkotsu ramen meal. Ya' Hear me!'' Chubby male chef said, ''Yes. I'll will get on it.''
[Author's Note]: A japanese creamy pork bone broth soup and long thin noodles, with chopped pork.
Without warning, mom heard a all-to-familiar voice, just one seat away from her.
A poetic male ordered, ''Um, excuse me. I desire a Hakata Ramen meal!'' Same chef said, ''Alright. Give me a few minutes.''
[Author's Note]: A hot soup with creamy, white and rich broth, and various cuts of meat.
Rei loudly asked, ''Tch! You're here too! (Sarcastically) How superb...'' Kosuke asked, ''Rei?!? Ohh, no...! (Face holds)''
Rei bitterly said, ''(Angrily Spits) Darn it. Now my ramen will taste bitter...'' Kosuke wearily said, ''Now-now... I'm as shocked as you feel, be it as it may, we should deal with our awkward situation.''
Rei gazed down in anger.
A minute later...
The chef said to both, ''O-kay. Here's your Tonkotsu ramen, and here's your Hakata Ramen, pipin' hot!''
Rei calmly said, ''Look at you, it's been years and you still have those same tastes. Tch... (Slurping)''
Kosuke casually said, ''Hm. I see your still obsessed with what you consume. Look at yours; That dish's noodle, topping, and meat ratio are perfect for a model concerned with her diet.''
Rei irately said, ''(Slurp!) -What are you trying to say?! Huh!'' Kosuke said, ''Wait. Simmer down... (Chuckles awkwardly)''
Kosuke said, ''I guess your personality hasn't changed, has it Rei...''
Rei said, ''I guess that you haven't changed at all, have you...''
That's all for now...
