Akito and Kazuko Part III

My Secretary and Assistant : Rokuro and Ayame Part III

[ From Chapter II ~ Am I able to steal your Heart? ] - Ayame and Rokuro behind the scenes of previous chapters with Naoko.

Three years ago introduction in the ramen restaurant Part III

When Rokuro was eating with his colleagues, and after Naoko chatted with them a little. He looked his eyes around and saw Ayame talking to Naoko, and he noticed that she looked furious while talking.

" She got nervous talking to brother Naoko like that..? ", [ His thoughts while drinking water ].

He washed his hands and kept thinking about his daughter Sakurako,

"I wonder how's my daughter Sakura doing?" He picked up his phone, and called Sayuri to meet up at their mansion.

- Is This A Family Ending? -

"Hello, Hon?", Rokuro was talking to Sayuri with a serious tone of voice.

"Honey what's up? I bought something here from a ramen restaurant, our head department treated us so.. I want to order for us to eat at home. How about Sakura? How is she?"

"Oh dear she fell asleep, after crying so much, she keeps finding her daddy..." ( missing her Daddy, right after you left and and it's been like three hours already..? ), Sayuri added.

"Well, I'll be back right now, I'll tell everyone for a sec-" ( sure, she had my genes-)

"Honey, we also need to talk after.."

"About what"

"When you get here..."

" I see..." ( I wonder...)

---

He excused himself, and while walking he saw Naoko in the parking lot.

"Brother Naoko..!"

"Ah- Roku, looks like you ate too much", Naoko looked at his belly.

"W-well I'm stuffed, I also need to get going"

"I see, we'll be having a secretary soon, Roku"

"Eh?" (Well you've already have one...)

"Okay goodbye see you soon..!"

Both of them entered their cars.

---

" I'm home "

" Welcome home Rokuro. "

( Without 'honey'? )

" Um... I'm sorry if you rushed here.. you should've spent time with your colleagues..."

" No, no need to worry, I also intended to go home because. I bought ramen for the three of us, but I ate earlier so maybe let's have this for dinner ", With a smile on his face.

" I see.. "

" what do you want to talk about?- "

Sayuri pulled and gripped his hand and went to their bedroom. " Eh- hey- Sayuri- " he bumped into the pillow and kissed him.

" Oi slow down Sayuri..! "

" Huff.... ", she wiped her mouth with her wrist.

" Why in a hurry..? " ( if this is what you want.. then you should've tell me this earlier so I can prepare...? )

Rokuro smirked and touched her lips, but Sayuri pulled his hand back down.

" Honey... 'that' guy is back... "

" Ahh... " ( so she's worried after many years...). He understood it right away.

" Rokuro I'm scared... he also has Mom's ex husband by his side..! and a bunch of guys.. I think it's a c-criminal organization already... "

" But... Why did you seduce me just now..? "

" It's because Mom was worried... there's a possibility that we might be separated.. and I'm worried about Sakurako... of course I want to be with you..! "

Rokuro gulped, " So you want to have a second baby for us to be stronger? "

She leaned to him and nodded. " Doing this or not we're still a family.. " and Rokuro added, " Hon.. I don't want to leave you.. but still you seduce me with a straight face, you learned that from me. "

" Mhm.. ", she glanced to the other side, Rokuro sighed, " I know that Sayuri, and even me.. I don't want my wife and daughter to be separated with me, Like i said earlier "

" What're we going to do? Mom suggested that we'll go to another country.. "

" I can't leave my Mother here alone and Sister Haruhi is in another house.. "

She sighed, " Let's tell your Mother.. "

" I think that's for the best.. ", he agreed.

---

Rokuro, Sayuri and their daughter went to his mother's house, and she was shocked to see that she has a granddaughter. But she glanced at the girl, Sayuri. " Dear girl, you went to a wealthy family.. "

Because of this, Rokuro and Haruhi's mother knows that Haru's husband is from a wealthy family too, and learns of Rokuro's story in the past about Sayuri's pregnancy and early wedding.

Their mother was completely disappointed and slapped Rokuro on the face. " You dare make a baby, and a wedding without my blessings?! ".

" It was an acc- no it's not an accident we really made it.. we're in love Mom "

" Love? Love..? you're making the same mistakes as your father did..! "

Rokuro's tempter couldn't handle it, and stood up and glanced at Sayuri, " Sayuri, I guess this old lady doesn't give us blessings, even with this.. Hon you don't know my family, But I don't want you to hear these stuffs from her.. "

Sayuri couldn't speak more and followed him, but she stopped and bowed to her mother in law, as respect.

" Hon.. I know you're mad... but at least we have Sakura " she blocked his direction, both of the mother and daughter smiled at him and Rokuro reached them and embraced.

" I won't leave my family.. you, Sakura and Sister Haruhi are my family, no one else... "

They went back home and agreed to migrate to America.

---

Unfortunately, it was too late, Sayuri's ex fiancé barging in the gate along with Sayuri's Mom ex husband.

Sakurako woke up from that noise, she was just five years old, so she heard unpleasant words.

" Rokuro..! Sakura is... ", They caught her looking at the window, and he caught the child's appearance and got more interested about the child.

" Oi Oi.. Takahashi..! Get out of here you had a child with you..? isn't that yours Sayuri..! Don't forget I'm the one who touches you~ "

Sayuri gulped and went to different bedroom, " Sayuri, Hon, I'm sorry but please, hide for a moment with Mom... me and the guards will handle this.. "

He turned his back, and Sakura pulled his button, " Daddy, please come back safe, Sakura won't cry because Daddy is strong, and I will protect Mommy! "

" Sakura we need to go... " Sayuri's pressured.

Rokuro kissed Sakurako's forehead and kissed Sayuri's lips and hugged the both of them and turned his back again. " For my Wife and Daughter..rest assured. "

---

" Oi..! Takahashi got in here..! " ( That prick..! )

" .... stop spitting nonsense, you're not going to succeed, what an idiot you are.. "

- Confrontation with barriers

of the gate -

" The idiot here is you Takahashi..!, you're not the father of that kid anyway..! "

( You're getting on my nerves- )

He opened the gate and kicked right to his face. " Who said I'm not the father of my own daughter, I created her not you, she's already pregnant when you almost raped her.. ".

( I'm not going to listen to your shits )

" She's my daughter Takahashi..! "

" Eh..? really then why did you glare at 'your daughter' if you are..? "

" This isn't like you Takahashi. I've done research about you and you didn't care for Sayuri while you're still dating her..! "

" That is true.. but my feelings developed, and I confessed and she knows that "

" Heh..! you're just using her because she's from a wealthy family like sister like brother- ", Rokuro punched his face twice when he heard his sister from his mouth.

" Whatcha say? I'm not like my sister, but I loved my dear sister. How dare you..! "

The front door opened and Sayuri heard. " Rokuro...! ".

" Sayuri..? " he glanced at her, then received a punch from him right away.

" Don't hurt him..! ". Sayuri couldn't stop them and called the police, on the other hand, her mother was taking care of Sakura.

With the advantage, the ex husband had a knife in his hand and pulled Sayuri out of the door.

" mhm...! " [ A tone saying Rokuro ]

( Sayuri...! ), Rokuro backfist him and runs towards them. He slashed Sayuri's neck slight and she's bleeding, " Fuck you.! ", he went impulsive and almost killed the ex husband.

" Y-you're a monster..! Takahashi..! "

" What if I am? I'm already used to fighting and with a weakling like you "

The police caught them, and they were shocked and glared at Rokuro and Sayuri, " H-honey.. Sayuri...! "

" R-Rokuro... ", she's scared to breathe, so she only breathes slowly, the blood goes down to her shoulders and dress.

" I'll take you to the doctor..! "

" No no need we have medicines here... "

" For now I'll leave the rest to Mom.. ", Rokuro carried Sayuri and Sakura was running in the hallway.

" Daddy, Mommy! "

" Dear..! don't run " Sayuri's Mom keeps catching her. Sakurako glanced to her mother saw Sayuri's neck,

" M-mommy..is that b-blood...? "

" Daughter... ", Rokuro's hands were shaking and Sayuri felt it but she persuaded Sakura, " Sakura Mommy will be okay, because Daddy is here and alive don't worry, okay? "

( Good grief, Sayuri knows how to calm our daughter down...)

---

Sayuri ended up sleeping, and Sakura opened their door, " Daddy..? "

" Yes darling? How's our Sakura? "

" Daddy.. is Mommy going to be okay? she is hurt and I'm scared... "

" Mommy's going to be okay, because I healed Mommy's neck, she's just sleeping because of tiredness ", he brushed her hair with his palm and hugged her.

" Daddy... you are my one and only Daddy right? "

" Yes I am.. you have my blood Sakura... "

" Then why did that bad guy tell you that I'm not your daughter..? "

" He's telling lies Sakura, Mommy and Grandma told me in the past- ", ( wait is this good for a five year old child to know..? I might get scolded by Sayuri..)

" Everyone agreed that I am your Daddy, when you turned three I don't think you remembered the time we went to the hospital to get you a blood test.. blood test means to check if you're my daughter, and the result is true.. "

" You are my Daddy ", she smiled, " Yes, and I am happy because I have you and Mommy.. "

" Then Sakura is happy too, to have you Mommy and Daddy! "

( What he said earlier is not true, I still have the test results..there's no doubt..)

" But Daddy.. what if the bad guy is my real daddy for example... will you still love me like you always do? "

( Wait.. she's really my daughter, look at the way she's talking like she knows it.. sigh..)

" You know, you're Sayuri's daughter, and I will still love you like I always do and it won't change the fact that I loved you both, even if you have different Daddy, I will still act as one "

( This isn't me... I remember there's a time Sayuri asked me before she was pregnant...

" Rokuro-kun... what if I get pregnant but it's not yours will you still love my child? "

" No.. Of course it wasn't mine after all"

Damn... that time I wasn't serious with her.. but having this feeling is... surreal.. )

" Daddy..! Mommy! "

He glanced to Sayuri and touched her,

" Hon how are you feeling right now? "

" I'm alive! I feel energized seeing the both of you here beside me ", she's telling the truth.

" Mommy! I missed you..! don't run to the front door again.."

" See?, Sakurako said don't "

" Alas, like a father like a daughter... "

" He's my real Daddy!! "

Sayuri looked honest to Rokuro and leaned on his shoulders. " Hon, I'm really happy we're still together ".

" I feel the same way "

---

[ A second child? ]

" Rokuro~ Welcome home ", Sayuri's wearing a backless nightgown without underneath her.

" S-Sayuri...? " ( T-that's...w-what is she wearing this time? it's like she's seducing me like last time..but she's chest.. it seems like she's not wearing anything...), he gulped and breathed heavily. [ Blinks ]

" This time I don't have worries because Sakura's already seven years old~ And I think this is the time.. to.. "

( I see..), This time, Rokuro pulled Sayuri's waist towards his body and grips her wrist and throws her to the bed. " Wait, don't you want to take a shower for a while? ", ( W-well as you can see, I'm already clean- )

" No I'm already turned on by you, I wanna pounce on you here and now.. "

As they enjoyed their afternoon sex, it was already nine in the evening without going outside of their room to check on Sakurako, but it's fine because she's safe.

- After three weeks: Results -

" I had fun these days and got Sayuri pregnant again, what a blessing ". In Rokuro's thoughts. They succeeded to have their second child and it's a boy after their baby shower, and they named him Kyouhei.

" Daddy, is my baby brother Kyouhei going to be a good boy? "

" Of course Sakura ", care's her hair gently while looking at Sayuri's ultrasound.

" Daddy, why visit black and white? "

" It's an ultrasound Sakura, it is used for pregnant women like Mommy, so we can all see what the baby is doing inside and his health, and here is Mommy's obgyne. "

Sakurako's eyes were glittering with amazement, Rokuro was sweating because he's afraid that her daughter will be scared or feel uncomfortable seeing these kinds of tools of technology.

( Seems like she's not afraid of doctors.... she's really my daughter, I'm so proud...! ), Rokuro deep inside, crying and on his knees because of his genes spreading.

---

The two who barged to their mansion went to a trial once again, and punishment for ten years in prison.

Rokuro was already sick of seeing that guy, and moved on like always.

---

- Kyouhei was born -

" Dad, Kyouhei holding my finger..! "

Sayuri and Rokuro laughed together, but Sayuri coughed blood all of the sudden, Rokuro looked to her but she covered the blood and she just said,

" Oh I coughed because I laughed too much ", Rokuro did not mind and just giggled at her.

Sayuri carried a fake smile and talked to her Mom about this.

Their family doctor came to see her condition, and he said that her health is very poor and unstable, Rokuro overheard, " Sayuri...? ", Sayuri stood up and ran towards him.

" Ah.. this is nothing, I have a daily check up, Mom said it's good to do this since I am an adult.. "

" Ahh okay, Tell me the results later, I'll play with the kids and take them to the mall "

" Okay have fun! ", she waved until he's gone, but it was too late. Rokuro already heard everything, and he's afraid of the next day of his life.

" Doc... I can't leave my husband and children like this.. "

" Your life.. is in danger, and glad that you gave birth safely, you can't get pregnant in the future if you both wanted to.. I understand your concerns, thus, you need to talk with your husband.."

" I see, that's the only solution.. "

( her life's in danger... ).

---

The three went back home and Sayuri went down stairs to welcome them,

" Hello..! I missed you guys a lot..! "

" Mommy, Daddy bought me toys!Kyouhei is still a baby but he can already walk..! "

" Oh my gosh, too bad I did not see it "

She avoided Rokuro, but she confronted her before bed time.

" Honey.. " Sayuri picked up his neck tie.

" No... you can't leave us.. "

" Eh..? "

Sayuri saw his tears falling down, and he punched the cabinet, then she flinched. " Rokuro you don't need to punch the wall... "

" Why on earth...why is my destiny like this? Why did I have to go through pain again?! "

" Pain... I know how you felt.. I was scared of telling you, but after my second pregnancy my body became weak.. and unstable... "

" Sayuri... I will cure you, we promised to live until we have grandchildren and great grandchildren! "

She teared and smiled, " I.. I also want that to happen but.. we can't avoid those circumstances... Rokuro.. "

" There is a way.. there must be..! "

" The doctor said, all I need to do is to rest, but I can't enjoy life while resting. I want to fulfill my duty as a Mom to Sakura and Kyouhei, he's still a baby..! He can't remember his mother's face... If I die- "

" You'll not die..! you will not..! I'm here.. ", he hugged her tightly.

" Let's get divorce. "

" No. "

" Let's.. get annulled... "

" I will not sign that shitty papers "

" I'm sorry... this is the only way... please listen to me.. "

" You'll regret this Sayuri.. "

" I love you this is the only way so you can turn your back and forget me.. "

" That's not a fact, are you an idiot? I can't divorce you, we have children to raise..! no need to divorce, I can raise them myself if you're gone... but I can't help it.. I still need you.. if I should've known this sooner.. "

" Please Rokuro, I know.. I am an idiot, but let's just do it..let's just have an agreement.. "

Rokuro hardly agreed with Sayuri, and the day finally came.

" We.. really divorced... "

" I'm sorry Hon- Rokuro... "

" Hey... Sayuri.. even though we're divorced let's not tell our children about this we'll wait.. for the time.. "

Sayuri hugged him, " I regret it okay "

" I told you.. " [ Sniffing ]

" Stay here with me until I die and promise to forget me, but fulfill your duties as a Daddy to your biological children "

" I will stay with you until you die, and fulfill my duties; To love, support, and care for my children... But I can't fulfill my promise to forget you just like that.. "

" You'll soon realize, Rokuro... "

"...", he did not respond.

" Let's just enjoy our lives as divorced parents... but Rokuro.. Honey... "

" Sayuri I love you even if you're old lady, you're still beautiful in my eyes "

" Honey that's enough, I'm blushing "

" All I will say at your funeral is... Die Beautiful my Sayuri.. "

Sayuri was stunned and stopped walking, Rokuro glanced at the back, and Sayuri started to cry.

" Sayuri, I love you so much, I will still pray for you to get better, so we can have a second wedding... "

" Yes we should have..! ", they kissed passionately until the sun went down.

< From A broken heart with hatred to falling in love again? Part I >

Rokuro started to work again at the office, and Naoko waved his hand.

" Yes Sir- Brother Naoko..? "

" You looked pale since this morning so as your brother in law, you're in my care, even after Haruhi's scheme.. "

" Ah... yeah... "

" But I know it's not about your sister this time.. How's Yamamoto Sayuri.. "

" We.. got divorce "

" Hmm.. I see, how was it... "

" We.. did not fight or have affairs but... Sayuri's similar to your fiancé... "

" She has a brain- "

" No... it's after her second pregnancy "

" Erm.. I did not hear about that? "

" Yeah.. I only told my Sister about it, maybe she hasn't told anyone either... "

" So the reason is... " Naoko patted his back, and Rokuro went crying again,

" After.. her second pregnancy, her body became weak and she has three years to live... said by the doctor... she's too young for this brother... " [ sniffing ]

" I know the feeling, and it hurts more because you have children, it affects the children more... "

" That's what I'm worried about, we got divorced last two weeks ago, and I'm still living in their mansion, like nothing happened.. "

( I'm glad, Sayuri did not change after our divorce, I'm afraid of Sakura...)

Naoko gulped and just patted his back,

" You can overcome this Roku, overcoming the despair you've been through for so many years.. I'm not talking just about you but with Haru, I know you siblings went through hardships "

" Thank you Brother, I know I'm just your brother in law... but I'm doing my side too.. "

" It's just we have the same feeling "

" Brother.. How do you feel when your fiancé passed away? "

" Mhm.. I was in the dark for days.. not attending classes, but Yuki kicked me out of my door and saw the bright sunlight again... I managed to finish my studies in France but I kept looking for the atmosphere of Japan so I rushed to go home, well... after that my soon to be mother in law called me and tell that there's anything I need to know.. "

While Naoko was telling his story to Rokuro, he's now inspired to live and prepared for that time.

" You know Brother, I really like talking with you about these things, it calms my heart... "

" It's already time for you shift "

" eh? It's past four in the afternoon, damn.. I forgot to work...! Sorry Sir..! "

" it's fine, I'm the one who called you here in the first place. "

He bowed and closed the door, Naoko sighed and Kaiyo said, (" psst..! that was too emotional~ ").

" Kaiyo so you were here, all along... I was calling you this morning... "

She laughed.

---)

[ Annoyance - " Will I ever get to understand him? " ]

- When the Secretary meets Rokuro -

After Ayame started working, she noticed something was off, " Huh? what happened.. I just entered the front door and they're already dead from work? ", she questioned herself.

" Ahh Secretary Ayame, come over here for a sec.."

" Yes Sir. "

Naoko walked towards his window where he could see Rokuro, " Something was off you say? ", and glanced at Ayame.

" Er.. Sir how can you- "

" I know, everyone looks sad for someone."

" May I know who it is? "

" It's Takahashi Rokuro, my brother in law..", he carries a picture of mother, daughter and son in him and shows it to her.

" And this? from what family is this Sir Naoko? "

This woman got into divorce because of personal matters in the past...none of them cheated or did something that will hurt their family.."

( so why did they call out a divorce? how stupid... )

Naoko on the other hand, did not show a picture of Rokuro being included to the family, so Ayame said with straight face, " So the question is, why did they divorce I know it's a personal matter but I think it doesn't make any sense, and Takahashi? "

" ...Ayame, this is Rokuro's wife and daughter. " he pointed at Sakurako.

" Him..? " ( really that bastard? lucky him, the girl went to a wealthy family and having two cute children.. )

" I considered them as my niece, on behalf of my brother.

She took back what she said and shook her head and sighed.

[ Rokuro ]

He leaned to the metal and smoked for a while, Rokuro learned how to smoke because of the influence of their head department.

" Yo Takahashi ! ", Yoshinori shouted.

" Sup! ", his voice sounds raspy and strained.

" Bro you look pale.. I don't know what the hell's going on but at least tell me, I'm your one decade friend..."

" Shut up. " [ swoosh ]

" Eh- ! " ( Roku is it because I am not Hotaru so you can't bring up the topic? I'm more depressed than you now... ).

Yoshinori punched him slightly, " What the heck are you doing-? what'd you do that for?! ".

" H-huh? I just punched you softly and you reacted? just tell me why're you acting like that, I'm worried as fuck for you man~ "

" I...I miss her so much... "

" Eh- Yamamoto... "

" It's Ta-ka-ha-shi Sayuri ", ( you're a peasant, know your place. ), with a bitter expression.

" Okay okay fine... " he stepped away.

" B-but she's not anymore...", his eyes and jaw dropped off a bit, and frowned in sadness.

" Eh-?! what happened, you guys were happy like last month? " ( R-Rokuro I have never seen you expressing this way..! )

" Yeah...but even though I'm still living with them on the same roof, I can't take it...there's a barrier now.. she loves me but for my sake..."

" You've been stressed about it Rokuro-san....now I get the conclusion, everyone's pale too, did you not notice that.. well you're straightforward since earlier. "

" Ahh so that's the reason, Manager did not give tasks today..? "

" Eh? a lot? "

" N-no I mean I've done a little today...?"

Rokuro set aside and gave a deep sigh after smoking, " Hey wait R-Rokuro! Let's talk more...! ", [ From afar ], he stomped and went back to his computer along with Yoshinori. But Ayame butt in and greeted Rokuro, " Hello Takahashi ".

< Hiroyuki and Rokuro >

Hiroyuki was calling Rokuro to have a snack with him, they haven't talked for a while and take this advantage.

" Rokuro-san..! "

" Yo.. Hiro! ", showing uncle side is not indifferent for him, yet it's awkward because Hiroyuki is not a kid, he can fully understand what it means to be an adult and can understand family affairs and problems in life. Rokuro wasn't still open to him, he didn't want any people around him, even just his brother-in -law's son. " Rokuro-san I've missed you so much, unfortunately, this is the only time I can catch up with you, you're a busy person like my Dad ".

He still acts like before, an innocent smart kid, Rokuro just wants to hang out and doesn't think of any, " I am in my twenties ", he whispered, " Eh? ", Hiroyuki suddenly nodded.

" Nah that's nothing, how's school? ", Rokuro drank his cola.

" It was kind of stressful~ I need a break for the whole year..! ", he frowned.

All Rokuro can do is to laugh and ride on to his words, but even if he Laughs, the problematic face can't be removed for once, while he's nodding, or showing expressions to him, his anxiety gets more deeper, he feels that his soul is being pulled and eaten inside. Rokuro suddenly felt a headache and rested his forehead on his bare palm. " Rokuro-san, I guess I pulled you off while you're tired, my bad.. I see you bring your car, I know how to drive so let me- ".

" Can you, really? ", he smirked with ego.

" Yes, I'm determined to bring you home- " A sudden call came up from Hiroyuki.

" Ack- It's coming from Dad, hold on Rokuro-san ".

From Hiroyuki's expression, he glanced with shock at Rokuro, and told him that his family was in Nobuyuki's house, " I'll bring you there right away ".

They've arrived safely, " Daddy..! ", Sakurako ran towards him.

" Ah hiya! Hello Sakura..! "

" Rokuro-san....? you still had a headache don't you? why don't you rest for a bit... ".

( This kid, really knows how to take care od elderly, I feel so old than Sister Haru.. ).

" Daddy...you have a headache? Do you want Sakura to heal you? "

" Hmm? Do you have the powers of Sakura? ", Hiroyuki glanced and joined their conversation.

" Yes Brother Hiro! I, Sakurako, can heal Daddy...! ".

" Ara..? Hon you looked pale..? ", Sayuri carrying Kyouhei.

" I thought you're confined to bed but you're healthy thank goodness... ".

" Well I am.. Brother Yuki and Sister Haru's glad to see Kyouhei ".

" Is Brother Naoko here? ".

" Unfortunately nope, Yuki said that he went to his fiancé's grave.. ".

" mhm.. I see ",( Brother Naoko still went there, even though it's past five in the afternoon.. that's so special of him.)

After that, they spend the night at their house and leave by tomorrow afternoon.

< From A broken heart with hatred to falling in love again? Part II >

Rokuro was annoyed with Ayame because of her personality and intelligence, just because of that certain day.

" Hello Secretary Amasawa Good Afternoon ". Rokuro actively greeted her, on the other hand she just nodded and went back to her desk.

( Cold Blooded woman- )

Once Ayame went back, his face went back to the way he was and caught his colleague slacking, " Oi go back to work ".

And glance back to her, he sighed and said ( She's different from all among the girls I've known..), with this him and Ayame have the same personality type but they didn't noticed each other, Rokuro was just showing respect and avoid making a scene, same goes for Ayame but with superior. It already past one year, and Sayuri is still alive, but the doctor suggested for her to stop working, Kyouhei is already two years old, and can finally walk without a guardian, Sayuri might be thinking of what about her genes, where did it go? everything was in Rokuro's genetics, she'd be jealous and ignores Rokuro, at the end, she was persuaded.

After being settled by the investigators from the illegal organization who stole Naoko's hidden project, Rokuro and Ayame were on the same car, and drove to where Naoko was in, Ayame hurried to open the door but Rokuro stopped her, and made her in a real force paused.

" Don't go, it's raining you'll soak wet "

" I don't care, you want the CEO to get in danger and get sick? ".

( I know my brother in law well, than you, so stopped talking nonsense- )

Little did she know, Ayame bought a big umbrella with her, requested from the guards from the company.

" I will look for him, " She ran with her heels.

" Anyway it's not my responsibility to take care of her, " he frowned and sighed, he glared down at her footsteps, she looked desperate to care for Naoko.

" Heh... ", he smirked, " Our dear secretary's in love with Brother Naoko... how obvious ". Without a pause, he didn't hesitate to go back home, but he thought of Nobuyuki.

He remembered that Yuki was also involved by investigating and bringing Hiroyuki along with Naoko.

He hurried and exhaled when he saw Hiroyuki's fine, " Rokuro-san..! ", full of energy.

" M- oh my..? Are you alright brother Yuki, " he gulped. Thinking that it would hurt her Sister Haru if she learned that Nobuyuki was in pain.

" I-it was deep ", his eyes were furious.

" Nah- ", it's not the first time it happened to him, so he can bear it like nothing.

Rokuro didn't say a word, and grabbed his shoulders and walked to the car,

" Hiro assist your Dad ", and took him to their house.

Rokuro's mindset was only his family and in-laws, he didn't take initiative to contact Ayame. But since he was soft to a woman, as a woman who only turned to her twenties, she's still a little girl to him, and planned to take care of her, as a junior.

Moreover, they keep nagging each other and always cursed at each other at Naoko's office,

Rokuro dreamed while driving and on the side seat there was Ayame. He observes that it's just a dream from the current days, but the whole plot was different from the original scene back then. That he insisted Ayame for a ride while nagging each other but she wants to give Naoko an umbrella

So he was rejected, in any case he waited for her and drove her back, the last part was getting blurry, ( he didn't know where's her house and confused how did he send her home..) and his head was jumpy, " Erm.. ", a coarse tone.

" Daddy..! ", Kyouhei spoke.

" Ooh...", it was painful at his tailbone.

" Kyouhei it's time to take you a shower, before Mommy gets home~ "

" Where is Mom? ", referring to Sayuri,

" Mommy went to the grocery ", she sighed.

( My daughter is big enough, and can handle her brother like that, how precious ), he stood up and saw his cabinet was well defined.

" Ah, " Sakurako noticed too and smiled, " Mommy woke up very early and cleaned the room ".

" She did? "

" Yes Daddy, she's so fast and skilled ".

" She's your supermom after all ".

" Okay now Kyo! c'mere!! "

" Be careful kids..! ",( sure time flies so fast and another year is coming and her life will end..)

- What A Coincidence? -

One moment, they're on break time but Rokuro's the only one who wants to go Starbucks near the ramen restaurant , and coincidentally saw Ayame and wanted to, she jumped on Rokuro's face and said " Me too! "

And both of them were quiet and glared at each other then said 'tsk tsk '

At the end they both go together at Starbucks and Rokuro wanted to treat her as an apology and she accepted, Ayame ordered chocolate Brownie, muffins and a drink which is Iced White Chocolate Mocha.

Instead of being separated after chatting a little, they had the same table and tried to talk again with each other and they got along, only for that moment.

Ayame asked Rokuro to be friends with her, she's scared to bother everyone and seems that Rokuro is the only one who can ride with her shared words and interests. Until Rokuro always glanced to Ayame while she's working and always caught them by Naoko, ( Ayame was still in love with Naoko ), and when Ayame caught him he would just wave at her and didn't expect a wave back at him, ( I blushed, because I made another friend...)

Ayame opened the topic if he's in love with someone and he said yes,

" So the one Sir Naoko brought up was the truth, you have a wife and children.. ".

" A beautiful, smart wife and precious children, yes. ", he held his head high and smiled.

" I doubt it was someone at this company? " shook her head.

" I see... " Rokuro smirked.

< From A broken heart with hatred to falling in love again? Part III >

- She Fell First,

But Will He Feel Harder? -

Rokuro knew Ayame would come back because Naoko called him and told him that Ayame would start working again.

( That girl is coming back, there's no other best secretary here..)

He knew that everyone would cry out loud, even Ayame's behavior and personality had gotten a little bit worse.

Everyone missed her and worried, embraced Ayame. Some of them bought her starbucks; they were told by Rokuro himself, and her favorites too. Rokuro was just at the back typing on the computer, chilling out by himself and Yoshinori pinched his cheeks for not greeting her a welcome.

" Bro even if you knew this would happen, you should at least greet the Secretary.. "

" I would not, " He stopped and tried to catch up her side face, he said, ( She's cute, it's been a long time since she last smiled, and when.. I am.. this can be the last smile I'll be showing ), his thoughts got worse.

She glanced.

Rokuro glanced back his eyes to his computer and Yoshinori left him.

" Guys, can I have a minute with Takahashi-kun? " [ glanced ]. Everyone's perspective was ' Oh my~ ' from Ayame's perspective, Rokuro all alone her mind kept asking, " why? Why isn't he looking at me? If what Sir Naoko said is true, then why didn't he greet me? " ,A discontented perspective she got, Ayame excused them, and Rokuro glanced at her once again and caught his eyes.

" Ah ", He makes it as if he was shocked by the moment he saw her but the ' ah ' he said was normal without an expression. Therefore, Rokuro delayed his startling, his mind was half- blank.

" Secretary Amasawa! good to see you back! let's work together again! " As his delayed follow up response from his expression, on the other hand, Ayame grabbed his hand and pulled him out and went to the balcony.

Rokuro's heartbeat couldn't stop just because Ayame held his hand. ( I shouldn't feel any of this, only Sayuri but why? Why am I having two affections for these women? ).

They stopped, and Rokuro bows almost in ninety degrees. Ayame's a bit confused. She wasn't feeling annoyed or grumpy at all, she burst into laughter, and realized that she made Rokuro wait for her and blind for him.

At the balcony..

" um.. So what do you want to talk about Secretary Amasawa? "

" Well you see.. "

( What's with her? ) [ He asked himself ]

" Takahashi-kun the reason why I left is I got carried away "

" What do you mean by that? "

" I liked the CEO, Takahashi-kun "

" Ah... is that so " he nods. ( I knew since the day he got close to you...)

" But I got rejected, and I pulled him, hugged him like he belonged to me but he wasn't. Maybe God did it on purpose, like he intentionally did that so I can view more.. "

" Ayame-san... I knew you were in love with Brother Naoko ".

She paused along with her smile, and slowly looked at him, " Brother..? "

" Hmm? Did he not mention it to you? His older brother married my eldest sister and they're my brother in laws ", he took out a cigarette and blew with a slight whistle.

" Er... I did not remember that it was a long time ago.. "

" Short term memory loss? Too bad, they got divorced, but I manifest for them to remarry each other again, for the sake of my niece.

While discussing his brain itself talking about rejection. (So she got rejected, that's how the viewpoint of getting rejected, I remember back in high school.. So what's her point? Does she need someone to talk to after all what happened? )

" Takahashi Rokuro-! ", she shouted slightly and her tone was trembling.

Rokuro gawked, and stopped at the moment and gazed at Ayame's view,

The sunset went into her slowly falling down and windy. He was amazed by Ayame's cuteness, from Ayame's point of view ; half witted, awkward and absurd. He stomps on the small cigarette and glances back.

" Rokuro do you.. like me? ", with an honest question.

( The same feeling but with a different person in front of you...) Rokuro touched her beautiful face like roses that he was at loss, held grip then said.

" I like you, you are pretty. "

" You like me because I was pretty? I didn't see myself like that.. "

" Well you are, all women are beautiful, so be confident.. ", he wanted to escape this conversation because it's toxic for him without a reason.

" T-then I'll be going now ", he walked straight to the exit door.

And Ayame on her last breath, " So why are you leaving me here? ".

" I have a daughter and son to take care of ". He smiled.

He went back home, and Sayuri hugged him, ( her presence is still admirably precious and sweet...).

"I love going home like this, you are Bright as the sun Sayuri ".

Sayuri dance a little like a teenager, and grabbed her wrist back to his arms, " I won't let go of your hand, I must do my duty as a father, " the atmosphere began to quiet and Sayuri reached his lips by tiptoeing, and kissed his lips passionately, the kiss was twenty minutes and forgot that Sayuri can use her insides for Rokuro to enter his thing.

At night..

He dreamed about Ayame once again, but no one interrupted his sleep.

"...but you are Amasawa-san.! YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL JUST THE WAY YOU ARE! ", he acted like when he was in high school but never shouted this far.

" I feel like it's the first time I've ever heard that from someone who's been liking me..Thank you... for liking me, it's difficult for me to give you an answer right now..but please treat me as how you're treating me... th-the usual way..I'll try and push myself... "

" No not pushing yourself Amasawa-san but at least be conscious about me, don't worry my heart already has you, you know... my heart right now when you asked me if I like you my heart skips hahaha..... "

" I really want to answer now, I changed my mind.. "

Rokuro held her waist and touched her face to the lips and looked up and down, a smirk that Ayame thought of him as a pervert and more lewd stuff came to her mind.

" Taka..hashi.. " She wanted to refuse but she couldn't let go of him either, she thought at that moment. Was it because she also fell for him so easily?

Ayame closed her eyes and said.

" Do it right now, I won't dodge or stop you, since you're my admirer... let my lips have you.. "

Rokuro felt hot on the inside and couldn't hold it anymore and kissed her lips lightly, she felt a feather touch her lips but it wasn't when Rokuro stopped.

" I was only testing you Amasawa-san "

" Huh? " She got grumpy but as soon as Rokuro kissed her for the second time, she let her body relax and wrap her hands around him.

" Um.. t-then... wait for my reply... " She covered her mouth and looked away.

" Yeah... " he went in her direction and she turned another way.

He ended by waking up in embarrassment.

" Ha.... good it was a dream, " he gulped twice.

" Hon you're up ", Sayuri prepared him a hot milk, " Why milk? ", Sister Haru said.

" She's here? too early ".

" No it wasn't, you woke up late Roku ".

" Ahh.. I'm sorry, is she still there? ".

" Nope, she went to Brother Yuki's house for a trip.

" I see, they're getting well, I'm happy ".

" I'm happy too, to see you and your sister's family getting along with your in -laws ", she childishly said.

" Oh yeah, you woke up like there's a ghost pop in and you were confused if it's a real ghost or from a game ", she giggled.

" Good observation, but apparently- ".

He gulped, and change his dreams,

" I dreamed of what we did yesterday when I got home, and I completely forgot about your health and jerked off... "

" That's lewd.. ", in a childish way of responding.

" Back then, you asked me not to use my fingers but my dick instead, didn't you say Sa-yu-ri? ".

" Yours is too lewd ".

" But I didn't get wet ", he exposed his underwear and blanket to her face, and she just stared and said `` hmph''.

Rokuro back hugged her, and lips were touching her left ear, " Are you sad, we can't do these things when we're sixteen..? ".

" You have no shame at all, we have two kids already ".

" I know, I know~ ".

The two instead took a shower together as their bonding.

At the Company, they got into a misunderstanding the other day and didn't talk the whole week but glanced at each other and once they've caught their eyes they'll avoid each other's eyes, ( Wait why am I avoiding her? I said I liked her-? )

( Ohh...), with a realization from the whole week of good rest, he intends to say he liked her as a person, and someone he looked up to. However, in the slightness he blushed so it mixed emotions. The misunderstanding started, Ayame went to Starbucks again, it was autumn season, Rokuro was about to join her when he saw, but he saw Ayame with another unfamiliar man sitting with her and entertaining. She was laughing and shocked that the guy was also a worker from another company, and talk

a lot until the guy brings up dating.

" Um.. Ayame-chan, I think you're quite cute and a shy type, do you mind hanging out with me this weekend? "

" Huh? "

" Do you have a boyfriend? I kinda like you now.. you don't have right? ``The guy keeps pestering her and she is annoyed knowing she has someone in mind too.

But Ayame didn't hesitate,

" B-boyfriend.. "

In Ayame's mind, Rokuro confessed to her, it's just they don't have the chance to talk, Rokuro hesitated to barge in, because of Sayuri. He loved Sayuri from high school until now. The feelings for Ayame were unclear and regretted saying he likes her with a timid voice.

He left her, and Ayame caught his back. Rokuro was too far away from her table, the distance was Rokuro on the front desk.

She has no choice but to defend herself, she realizes that it is a lie.

Rokuro's family went to Yokohama café, recommended by Nobuyuki and brought along their children, making up for them because they didn't go shopping last week. Sayuri's condition gets worse and ill, than before but she still puts makeup on to cover her haggardness. Looking back from the past, her body is brighter and healthier than now, Hiroyuki and Sakurako always tell her to rest.

On the other hand, Ayame also admired cafés, starting when Naoko invited her to Takumi's coffee shop. She went out with a beautiful dress and curled hair.

While waiting for her order, she was bored using her laptop, and looked around her. Until she first saw a family of four, having fun, " The wife looks exceptionally beautiful, and has a familiar face...? '' she said and her eyebrows lifted. When she moved her head to see the husband, her down lips tore and felt that she was still dreaming or a nightmare. " This can't be.. ". She recalled Naoko's words at his office, " It's Rokuro's family, he and his wife divorced because of the wife's health..", recalling she dropped her fork on the floor because she was gasping. Ayame can only listen to what the family of Rokuro's saying with the noise of children.

" Roku, time flies so fast, doesn't it? ", Sayuri sliced a cake.

" Mhm, it sure does... Can we just remarry? "

" Even if we don't, you're still the father of these kids Hon~ ".

" B-but you regret divorcing me? it's confusing.. ", Rokuro showed a sad face, then she laughed, " My~ My~ I don't know what to do with you... ".

Rokuro gripped her hand in a gentle way and carried it around to her cheeks.

" Your hand is so cold.. ", he kissed.

" mhm..? isn't about the time? "

" Sayuri stop it, I'm not ready yet- "

" yes~ , yes, I'm sorry I won't say it again.. ", [ Giggled ].

" It's fine Sayuri, and... I wanted to resign.. ", hearing this from Rokuro, it made Ayame feel more alone, her heart was shaking and her feet kept stepping fast without a beat.

Her order was already prepared, and she drank coffee, and calmed her down. " Why coffee again? ", she asked herself and changed her chair position for Ayame's presence not to be distinguished.

Hearing lovey dovey confessions, she can't stand it, she also realizes that they haven't started dating. " What are you expecting Aya.. you're always the second person they could think of, be ashamed of yourself.. ", self-talk.

" I'm mildly uncomfortable Roku.. ", ( as if it's hard to breathe, I already wear a breathable dress and blazer...).

" You wanna go home? ", he slipped his hand to hers. [ touched ]

" How about them? I feel bad for not having a long vacation with these two, I can still handle it, so don't worry too much ".

Ayame can't avoid her ears and automatically spreads her ears out to listen more, and can't focus on her documents. " Why can't she breathe? ", she's curious but still interested to see how Rokuro's attachment to Sayuri.

She moved her left shoulder at the back of the chair and slightly moved her eyes to the side while sipping coffee, " Ahh... ", she successfully caught the picture of them. It was a little uncomfortable for her position, it looked quite strange and her eyes were already tired. When she's about to glance back to her work, Rokuro glanced to the side of his eye, and saw Ayame's chair table.

( Is that Ayame? it could be! but why is she here? it's a coincidence..)

Little did he know, he stared at her for too long while touching Sayuri's palm. Even for Sayuri, she glanced at the back too and asked, " Is there someone you know back there? ".

" Huh? ", he paused and his eyes averted, and gulped, " ah- I thought it was someone I worked with at Brother Naoko's company but I think it's not? ",

with a questionable and irritable face, ( I'll just scratch my head as if it's nothing...I'll also pretend that I didn't see her.. ).

" Roku.. ", a sudden interruption.

" A- yes? "

" Instead, do you still remember our first date?, " she smirked.

" Ah-, " with a sudden recall they were just teenagers and already did something.

" No.. ", he lied to test Sayuri.

" No, don't lie to me~ "

" Okay you caught me... ", and they both laughed.

....

The next few days, at a busy time. Sayuri's mom dialed him.

" Roku- you need to hurry, this is urgent..! "

" Ah- okay Mom..! ", he didn't bring his bag and bowed to the chairman.

"Ack- " he bumped into Naoko with a hoarse voice.

" What're you- catch your breath for a while Rokuro, " He did not know what's going on with him, " Please Brother Naoko, I need to see my wife..! she's at the hospital...! ".

He didn't wait for Naoko's reply and just entered the elevator. Everyone looked very strange at first but he almost shouted the word 'wife'.

As Ayame showed appearance, Naoko pitied her, and gripped his hand.

( " Nao, please don't do this to your hand.. "), Kaiyo persuaded him.

In the meantime, Rokuro's finally at the hospital and found both Haruhi, Nobuyuki and Sayuri's adopted mother.

" Roku- ", said by Nobuyuki, but he was ignored. Because Rokuro's looks are not good and his mental state is at his limits.

" Haru, I can see Naoko to him.. "

Haruhi gulped in silence, and tapped her brother's back, but his mind was completely black. Similarly to Naoko, he was paranoid when he saw Kaiyo lying on the bed doing the cpr.

" Rokuro, " Yuki once said again.

" Not this time Brother Yuki.. "

" And this is not the time to emote, your children need you so be a strong father to them, they're o for you at home... "o

" W-what are her last words...? ", He looked at Sayuri's Mother, and she frowned.

Sayuri's last words:

" I never regretted giving birth to an early mother, thank you for raising me as my real mother even though I did not meet them. Mother, I'm proud that Rokuro was my husband until my last breath. Rokuro, Sakura and Kyouhei, the three of them... I loved them wholeheartedly. A message which leads to my children and my dear husband, I will die happy... with no regrets in this world, I just hope they'll be safe with Rokuro's hands, he's a good father. If there's an afterlife, I hope.. I can meet them and I'll be the same as ever.. I loved my husband... Rokuro.. ".

---

" That was Sayuri's final words, it was emotional, she only has thirty seconds to speak all of that, and I'm impressed.. ".

" She's your daughter after all, mother, she takes after you. "

" Thank you Roku- " She hugged Rokuro, and him.

" Yuki, my b-brother is so strong.. ", Haruhi also ended up with tears, but his ending was quite painful, but she left the world with a happy look on her face while breathing so fast.

Rokuro calmed down, Nobuyuki was glad, because he hates people suffering and it makes him suffer too, most likely Naoko did. And he doesn't want Haruhi, his eldest sister, to be paranoid and depressed.

Nobuyuki pats the siblings back and embraces them on his shoulders.

" Rokuro, you're brave, be brave to your children... ", Haruhi wiped Rokuro's tears.

" I'll be sister, I will be... "

( This is what Brother Nao said, we can't avoid these tragic circumstances, but we're both at the same pace, but it's more painful to my brother because he doesn't have what I have today. I have children with Sayuri and there's a family..

I have a family, they're here beside me, I am not alone, I have Sakura and Kyouhei my biological daughter and son who takes after me and Sayuri, but I still don't get why she wants to divorce me, I don't wanna think about that anymore, she has her own reasons to keep and I accepted that. I will no longer see her, but my Kyouhei takes after her, they're the same, like mother like son and I am happy, I should be, that's what I should be doing in front of them, rest assured Sayuri, I'll protect our Children, so rest now honey. )

The doctor handed the documents they needed to sign, but after that day, Naoko didn't get any contact with him nor did Ayame. Naoko pitied her because of not having a closure with Rokuro, but the next day, he carried a warm smile and light aura that made everyone unbelievable.

" R-Roku-kun? condolence.. to Yamamoto-san, ah I mean.. " Yoshinori forgot that he said it's Takahashi not Yamamoto.

" It's okay, even though we're divorced, my children carry my family surname, thank you Nori ". He smiled and went to his desk.

" I ignore people, who are rare to me ", Ayame's appearance was cold.

"...."Rokuro gazed at Ayame, he caught her eyes and smiled. Ayame asked Naoko if both of them can be excused.

" Long time no see Ayame ", he lowered his eyes with a faint smile.

" Condolence to your wife, " She avoided Rokuro's gaze.

" I knew you were there Ayame, sorry I did not tell you, I was scared of losing someone, but when Brother Nao talked to me I was more relieved than being regretful, ".

" Sorry Rokuro.. ", he paused.

" Why sorry? "

" I thought we're already together like a real couple, and honestly I feel like I was a concubine... for that time.. ".

" We haven't started dating Ayame, sorry to say but I did say that you're beautiful and I liked you but I couldn't bring the word as a friend, I was thinking if I loved the both of you.. it's my first time being confused in my entire life and in the means of love, I thought I can get over it. "

" Were you sad? "

" Yes, but I want to be strong for my son and daughter. "

" I know, you have children, Sir Naoko showed it to me.. a few months ago. "

" Mhm, so he did, what a CEO brother to do, "

" Rokuro, so what do you want to continue if you like me as a friend but in a complicated way? ".

" I suppose so, "

" I'm okay with that- "

The atmosphere's quiet and could not bring a bright topic, but keeps going on to two topics; Sayuri's death and their complicated relationship.

" You are a chaste Takahashi... "

" A- A chaste? " ( What's with the surname? ).

With a dangerous atmosphere, Rokuro laughed and began to touch her face. " I'm not, it's because I'm not ready to give my lips, hmm, maybe I am a chaste? or I don't know~ ", he glanced at her again, and said " I guess you're the one...? ".

She gulped and blushed.

" It's hard to move on, Ayame.. you know that ".

Ayame didn't move and let Rokuro touch her with guiltiness.

" I'm sorry, I guess those feelings were mistaken.. "

" Feelings? ", He ponder.

" Mhm, I'm selfish.. "

( Ayame.. I'm sorry too for doing this, I want to be a good father to my children.. ).

" So you're going to raise them yourself? "

(huh?), " yeah I am ".

" You did well Rokuro, surviving with the beloved woman, like Sir Naoko.. "

" Well I did overcome my despair, but Brother Naoko is still in that phase.. "

" I see. "

Sayuri didn't want the divorce either, but in order to survive with those children and as long as she's already dead, Rokuro and her children will remain hidden from her ex fiancé.

Ayame felt guilty for her selfishness, but she convinced Rokuro if she could help his children with academics.

He was relieved from Kyouhei, and worried about Sakurako, because Sakura is much more mature, and knows what's happening. Sakurako was having a hard time accepting Ayame, " You're too close to my Daddy, can you move a little ".

( Indeed, she's my daughter.. but isn't it too offensive? I hope Ayame will understand- )

" No problem Sakurako ", Ayame smiles and does as she pleases.

" Sakura... ", Rokuro was about to teach her a lesson, but Sakurako's gaze gave him a fright. There's a barrier between him and Sakurako and it went on for about half a month.

" Kyouhei! watch where you're going ".

" Sakura-chan, " Ayame greeted the siblings.

She glared and glanced back to Kyouhei. " Aya-san! ",

" Hello again Kyo-kun! ".

As Rokuro entered...

" Oh Ayame? What brings you here? "

" Huh? don't you forget the agreement we made? "

" Oh I see.. come on in please ".

" Daddy? ", Sakurako pulled Rokuro's tip of the clothing.

" Yes Sakura? "

" I want a hug "

It's been a while, Sakura didn't pay attention to Ayame but observing her father for a long time, she still assumes that Rokuro doesn't love Sayuri after her death, and switches to another woman who has vanished.

" You've never hung out with Sakura and Kyouhei since her appearance. ", she refers to Ayame.

" I.. ", Rokuro looked at Ayame with a problematic face, but instead he carried her to his room to talk.

Ayame might not be their mother but treating her as a friend is okay with her, the guiltiness vanished but Ayame forgot about Sakurako's existence.

" Daddy, don't you love Mommy anymore? Why are you hanging out with her instead of your dearest children? ".

( T-that was a deep question, my dear..)

" S-Sakura, I loved your Mommy Sayuri and Ayame-san knows that too, you're still a kid to- ".

" Daddy, what do you take me for? I am already a grown up, a grown up who can protect Kyouhei? I can manage things myself... but Daddy.. "

" okay Daddy will explain, Mommy and I divorced but we didn't do that because of fighting or Ayame-san's existence it's because I knew Mommy's pain, she doesn't want me and us to get hurt, your grandma did not agree to that, but I, as a husband if it's for the best then I'll do what your Mommy wants, remember the guy who barge to the mansion? that is Mommy's ex fiancé, and he is bad and she doesn't want you and Kyouhei to get hurt by them. Because both of you are precious to her, so don't say that I didn't love Mommy, I loved her, and your uncle Naoko said that I should move on and look forward. But not to the point that I will forget her. Your only mommy is Yamamoto Sayuri, and she will. "

" Why did you hang out with her? ".

" Ayame wants to help you both, since Mommy's not here, she wants to help a little and inspire you both. "

" Daddy, you're already in love.. "

( How did she know about that...? )

" D-Daddy is.. "

" Don't lie to me, I get what you meant earlier, you loved Mommy and you loved her too.. "

" Daddy is, " he wants to avoid the love with Ayame, but Sakurako can't let him slide from that one, "... Yes Daddy is in love, but even I fall in love, Sakura and Kyouhei will be my first love, Sayuri was my first love but now she's gone, I have my daughter and son. I won't be sad.. so.."

( A little bit more..)

" So.. Can you accept Ayame? it's okay not to call her as your Mom, I can promise you something- "

" Don't plan to get married and have a child with her Daddy, that's my decision, can you promise me that? "

( I didn't expect her to say that... I wasn't really planning..? )

" Daddy has no plans on marrying Ayame, and having another baby, because I told her about this too. "

" Very well. "

( Is that a yes? my daughter how can you talk so matured.. ) [ sniffed ]

" Are we okay now? "

" A little, but don't make Kyouhei get close to her.. "

" Aww... "

" Daddy I am not joking, I'm a middle schooler not a kid.. "

" Still a kid to me ", he laughed to lighten up the mood, her mood didn't improve but more relaxed from what he said.

The affection between Rokuro and Ayame remained, he asked permission from Sayuri's foster mother to let Ayame by his side from now on, however, (I see this is our fate..).

Sakurako graduated from Hiroyuki's school and Kyouhei is now in middle school, and as growing up he considers Ayame as his second mother, Rokuro who was worried but his child was understanding similar to Sayuri.

Rokuro pays a visit to Sayuri's grave and prays along with them, he introduces Ayame to her.

"Honey? Sayuri... I am here, with Ayame look our children are well grown up and I am a proud father I raised them so well thanks to her"

Ayame was faltered after and breathed, "Ah don't praise me too much— I didn't do much Mrs. I only did what can make Rokuro's burden lessen—"

He sighed and smirked instead, "Even though you're not my children's biological mother, you supported them while growing up. "

"Say, I will do my best not to let your daughter and son be in despair."

Rokuro smiled and to the grave, he kissed Sayuri's grave and did a farewell.

Both of them hold hands and autumn is coming again.
