"Can't believe this little Akane became the thing I never most expected." I said with an honest opinion and a half smile on my face.
"Grrrrrr, senpai!!!" Akane faked being angry, her lips pouting.
Reina giggled
"Then what did you expect, bro?" Reina said.
I pondered for a moment.
Akane looked at me with a fake angry face and pouting lips.
"A zookeeper?" I answered with honesty in my heart.
Reina laughed like a child.
"You're winning me over and my heart with that sense of humor of yours, bro."
"Grrrrrr." Akane angrily purred.
Truth to be told, I wondered if Akane will ever became a zookeeper because she has a soft spot for animal, especially the cute ones. Ever since she was kid, whenever an injured animal, coincidentally or not, landed in their backyard, she wouldn't hesitate to run towards them to treat their injuries with such kindness, warmth and compassion. That's why I never seen her being cautious towards animals, she has this heart and pure soul that can form deep connections with animals.
Now most famous Japanese superstar, she has this erratic and determined attitude to never stop sponsoring animal charities and donating to sanctuaries that preserve the safety of every animals, endangered or not.
Sources also say that she has earned the title "Animal Defender" because of her empath and kindness towards every animals. She also enormously funded the construction of two new large zoos that have been built in Okinawa.
Suddenly, Akane stopped faking her anger and stared at Reina with such naivety and confused face.
"Wait...."
"Ray-kun winning you over? What does that mean, One-san?" Akane asked Reina.
I stared at Reina also with an expressionless face.
Reina became awkward and silent, looking at me with her cheeks mildly blushing.
"Errrrr..."
Reina couldn't utter a single word.
Akane suddenly gasped in shock.
Reina widened her eyes.
"Anyway, Akane-chan?" I spoke to break the awkwardness.
Reina sighed deeply in relief.
"Yes, Senpai?" Akane quickly shifted her attention to me and responded.
"Can you give me a brief introduction of this famous supermodel named Sakura Himura?" I inquired.
"She caught your interest, senpai?" She asked happily.
I shook my head to deny it.
Truthfully, I just want to know what kind of woman she is and to discern if she genuinely cares and love my father with her all of her heart.
Cause my gut keeps telling me she's something not to be messed with.
"Well, for a nice introduction, she's ranked the most beautiful supermodel in Japan, and her rank could climb the ladder in the international rankings."
"She owns many successful businesses and built renowned and thriving conglomerates throughout Japan." Akane excitedly explained.
Why doesn't this suprise me, though...
"And if you want to know what kind of woman she is? Well, she is a private and reserved woman, and mysteriously keeping things for herself. Though, I know in my heart that she has this good side that many people want to hang onto."
"Now, her past. Her past is like a void, there's nothing to look for. Though, you can seek answers from everywhere and everyone, the only answer you'll get is....'Stop wasting your time'." Akane explained with utter seriousness.
Interesting....
"You know, you could directly ask her three daughters, right?" Akane then looked at Reina with a worried face.
I stared again at Reina, hopefully to shed some light on Sakura's past.
Reina suddenly made a nervous laugh, and I could tell she's losing some of her composure.
"Well, Okasan is a...you know.... a good mother."
Reina again made a nervous laugh.
A daughter hides her mother's past....
Her daughters seemed to love her that much.
I sighed with dissatisfaction.
Suddenly, two bodyguards came to us, and they definitely had something to say.
The two bodyguards bowed in front of us.
"Akane-san, Himura-san arrived with her daughter Arashi-san and an unknown man at your doorstep." They said in unison.
They approached us with different expressions on their faces.
"Ray-kun?" Sakura only calls for me.
I'm not so sure why, but my own instinct tells me to run away with my father as far as we can from this woman.
Sakura and my father, Shinjo has greeted us with smiles except Arashi.
"Okasan! Otousan! Imoutu!" Reina calls for her mother, Arashi and my father, Shinjo.
"Himura-san!" Akane happily shouted.
