Upon opening the front door, a girl with pink hair entering the house in hurry and embrace the blonde girl behind the older woman legs.
"Yuzu-nee!"
"Woah,Atsu-chan!"
Then both the girls fall down on the ground making a thud sound while the older woman watching the scenes in longline.
"I miss you so much that I thought I just kidnapped you instead."
Matsuri muttered softly that Ume heard but not Yuzu in her embrace.
*Gulp*
'is my daughter in dangerous?'
"Atsu-chan, I miss you too....mama,can we go to living room now?"
"Please do, I would prepare some snack in the kitchen."
In the living room,
"So you mean, you don't leave house because you take care of auntie?"
"Yeah...but we're okay now! It's took some time, but now mama in need for new job since she just absent from work without notice....how you're day Atsu-chan? I'm sorry to not fully our promise to meet in the park for a long time...."
Yuzu frown deeply since she just broke her promise with her only friend.
She horrible.
Remember the past , Matsuri actually waiting Yuzu in the park at 9 am in the morning till 10 am. Not missing any day without a hitch. She just hope one day Yuzu will come to the park and smile to her.
But in the few day before, she received call from Ume telling her upon the news.
After the phone call, Matsuri place an order for a bouquet of flowers and chocolate and impatiently waiting to meet Yuzu at the apartment in the next day.
Now she here, with Yuzu in the living room of the apartment which the Okogi's family.
The two of them exchange stories after story to catch up on other daily routine.
Ume came back with a jug of juice and some snack in a tray.
Sitting with the two girls, Matsuri actually the one that start conversation with Ume.
"Auntie, Yuzu-nee said you're having problem with the work since they're fired you."
Thinking about a girl asking her condition over work is kinda embarrassing.
"Hahaha....well, I'ma need to search new job now Matsuri-chan."
"Then, I be calling dad to have job offer for you auntie"
"Eh?! There no need to trouble yourself Matsuri-chan! I can handle it-"
"Yuzu-nee, do you have ice cube? I'm thirsty, can I have cold water?"
"Okay! Mama, I goes to kitchen a minute!"
Yuzu leaving the living room making the atmosphere kinda tense.
Changing her face to more serious, Matsuri smiling at Ume,
"Auntie, please take my offer. I know uncle living some assets for the two of you quite a lot to last for several months but then? Beside, if you don't have work immediately, money gonna be an issues and Yuzu-nee maybe needed to starve herself for your seek. Please put your daughter state in mind."
Matsuri smiling while dark aura seems coming out of her body making Ume trembling a little.
'.....'
"Matsuri-chan really talk like an adult hah-"
"I'm a Mizusawa after all~"
"Urk....then, I trouble you regarding my work Matsuri-chan...."
'she right, the longest I prolonged the search for work,the more our money gonna gone by no time. And I don't want Yuzu to be troubled like the past day. That's is what I desperately don't want to be repeated ever again'
"Atsu-chan! Here your water."
"Thanks Yuzu-nee"
"Thank you Matsuri-chan....."
"Welcome..."
"???"
In the middle of big company,there is a man sitting in a big chair while holding up a message that's been send by his daughter.
[Arranged work for Ume Okogi, preferred near their apartment. Dad.]
The sender name is 'My naughty daughter ❤️' .which contact belong to Matsuri Mizusawa.
"Hito, contact xx company to arrange their place for new staff"
The man, Saye Mizusawa telling his secretary beside him regarding the message his only daughter sent.
Hito seems shocked and try to complain,
"But sir, I've don't think that's is a good idea-"
"Hahahaha!"
"Sir-?"
"Oh Hito, I may seem careless but you shouldn't forget I'm still a Mizusawa. Before you do your research, I'm ahead you're all discovering my daughter little sweetheart family. And I know the consequences of my own actions. Now, please do as I said like a good little servant you are, okay?"
Saye Mizusawa's calm voice can be heard carrying a sarcasm and authority making Hito flinched.
"Right away sir, I am sorry for my interrupted opinion.."
" *Nod* you may go"
Click.....
Landed on the chair more comfortablely, Saye holding out his face while smirk,
"Oh my daughter, you're really a Mizusawa....just like me, once we found our sunshine. We do anything to keep them happy by our side...be it with power,money and blood...."
In another's one weeks,
Ume can be seen working in a branch company of Mizusawa near her apartment which took about 30 minutes to arrive.
This way, Ume can attending her daughter needs of time and she also have steady income since the seat in the company pay good.
Two years later,
In the living room, Matsuri and Yuzu are doing homework together but unfortunately, Yuzu suddenly feel sick,
"Yuzu-nee?"
Sweat pour out of her body, red and pale face with a frown plaster on Yuzu face,
She feels out of breath, the room feels stuffy and her mind feel dizzy,
"Hah...ha.... Atsu-chan... it's hot.."
"Yuzu-nee!!"
"Dear?!"
Thud
Yuzu fell sideway on her right making a loud sound that Ume in the kitchen hear and rushing out.
Yuzu unconscious while Ume rushing her out to the hospital which Matsuri coming along while dialed the nearby hospital attendant to prepare the emergency room immediately.
Did Yuzu have illness?
