Chapter 19: Aya's Debut
Joseph opened his wardrobe and Aya's eyes were also opened wide, there's a lot of beautiful dresses hanging inside the wardrobe and all of it looked new.
"Over the years, we meticulously chose a contender for our wardrobe, but none of it was made for them. Some of them only fit two or three dresses then we need to search for another. But you." Joseph reeling his measuring tape and wraps it around Aya neck, waist, thigh, hips and lastly her breast.
"So perfect, a creature worth every attention" Joseph then tightens his measuring tape around Aya's breast and strangles it.
"Ahnnnn…" Aya was shocked but froze to Joseph's action.
"Perky." Joseph draws out a random dress and passes it to Aya.
"Go on, try it." Joseph pointed Aya to the changing room.
Aya goes inside, unbutton her uniform and undresses her skirt then proceeds to wearing the dress.
"(It really fits me, it didn't even make me struggle to wear this.)" Aya muttered in her thoughts but she was so happy that she got to wear it effortlessly.
The moment Aya opened the changing room door light flashed and confetti was flying around. Joseph and his members are photoshooting for Aya's debut.
"Act natural!" Joseph shouted while taking more of her picture in every angle.
Blinded by the light, Aya walks slowly towards Joseph.
"Marvelous, splendid, stunning, perfect! Ah I'm so lost in pleasure now!" Joseph keeps triggering his camera non-stop.
"Am I b-beautiful?" Aya asks for their opinion and all of the members give a thumbs up leaving Aya blushing.
"Lady, think about it. You are able to wear beautiful dresses almost everyday only if you agree to become our model, and that's not for free. We will pay you a commission, cash ready!" Again Joseph tries to persuade Aya into modeling.
When Joseph said that, Aya came into a thought.
"I get money for this? (To think about it, I might help Misha with the commission money from my modeling job. It was to cover back for what Raku did before, the article that Raku made had her hope shattered.)"
"Yes darling. I'm more than generous to offer you." Joseph added more sweet-talking.
"I'm in! When can I start?" Aya accepts Joseph's offer and is ready to become their model.
"I know you can't resist the temptation darling, wearing a beautiful dress specially made for you and making a fortune. You can start by tomorrow, the photograph that I took before also counts. Even if you're not wearing makeup you are just as beautiful as angels."
"Tap! Tap!" Joseph clapped again and this time his members brought cash with them.
"Here is today payment, we will use your photo for school posters and events, and even our school social media mascots. Stay beautiful darling." Joseph gave Aya a generous amount of money.
"T-thanks! I'm happy that I can help." Aya left the room with a smile.

"Ding-Dong-Ding-Dong"
School period is over, while all of the students are running for home, Aya stood at the entrance gate waiting for Misha. She wanted to give Misha money from her modeling job.
30 minutes, 1 hour, 1 hour 30 minutes… Misha is still not around.
"She must have been absent today… I should have asked for her phone number..." Aya then left the school.
She walks near the bridge and goes down the bridge looking for Misha but she's not there either. People today is more than before. There's no more room for fishing, all spots have been occupied.
Aya left the bridge and proceeded to her mother's cafe.

The night came.
While Tina is cooking in the kitchen, Aya comes in and pulls out a chair and sits at the table.
"Oh, so hungry and can't even wait?" Tina asks while flipping the scrambled egg.
"No, just wanna talk… Women to women."
"Hei hei, I'm still a girl! I may be nowhere near you but the body you have now has my pieces too." Tina was babbling, telling that she's still young.
"Yeahhhh, yeahhhh. Girl to girl, now are you satisfied?"
"Um, that's better." Tina continues to cut vegetables.
"Mom, please be healthy." Aya said the word while holding the tears.
"Eh? Why did you suddenly come up with that word?" Tina stopped cutting the vegetable and put away her apron.
"Tsk… I want you to stay like this, cooking everyday and quarreling with me everyday… Tsk… Please mom, be healthy…" Aya can't hold her tears anymore, she burst to tears right away and Tina quickly hugged her.
"Shh.. What happened honey? I promised that I'll stay healthy, look at me. Even though my breast is not as big as yours, my muscles are way bigger than yours." Tina said it with a proud tone.
"Haha, yeahh… Been ages you're not hugging me like this, I want to stay like this a little more." Aya requests for a longer time.
"It's okay honey, I'm sorry that I've been busy with work and forgot that my teenage daughter needs some attention."
"Ahnnn… Umhhh… Mom!" Aya moaned as Tina groped Aya's ass.
"I was so proud of you, if you ever feel down. Think about that, I'm always watching you." Tina also burst into tears and cried.
"I'm sorry I'm always neglecting you. Leaving you only with your brother in his care, you are a girl and need someone of the same gender to hear your stories and share some thoughts… Tsk.. I'm a failure as a mother… Tsk…" Tina bowed down and cried her heart out as she was in regret for not giving Aya the attention she deserves.
"I understand you had to work alone, I don't complain about it and I'm comfortable with both of you, not just Raku alone. I just want you to promise me to stay healthy, be like this. The everyday you that I've been watching in years…"
"I promise… Raku, even though he's not related by blood. I'm just taking care of him, but he's pouring his heart into this small family like it was his. Seeing you guys stick together put me at ease…" Tina rubs Aya's hair.
