Chapter 1

While he was resting his back on the back of the bed, stretching out his legs and holding with his hands a book on enterprises management, Akashi knocked on the door of his room making a sound like a drum beating without stopping, Hack shouted from the inside:

_"Akashi you damn come in."

Akashi walked into the room with a smile on his face, then said:

_"Who (you damn) is this for? Is it mine!?" And raised his eyebrow with an artificial disapproval.

Hack said with a little nervousness as he looked at him:

_“Did I not tell you thousands of times, do not knock the door like this ?! By God,are you still a small kid ? The door is not a drum, knock it like the rest of humanity, or do you want me to teach you that? ”

Akashi replied with a smile that turned into a short laugh:

_"Hahaha, the important thing is that I managed to provoke you ...."

Hack lowered his legs to the ground and smiled, saying:

_"Yes.... Tell me what do you want?"

_"Nothing, dear brother, I just wanted to tell you that lunch is ready and my mother will set up the world and settle it if you late for more than that. She called you several times but you did not answer her."

Hack scratched his head from behind,

_"Sorry I didn't hear her; I was inundated with the book."



The two brothers went down the stairs together as they were racing to get to the dining table first.

Akashi arrived before and said proudly:

_"I won again."

Hack put his hands in his pocket and said lightly:

_"Huh, that's because I let you win my will."

Then Mikoto, their mother spoke with a smile radiating from her eyes:

_"You two will never grow old, you act like children. Let's remind me of your age?"

Akashi advanced toward his mother and kissed her head,

_"thirty-three years old."

Hack also walked toward his mother and kissed her hands, saying:

 _"twenty-eight years old."

They all laughed, including their father kagami, who was watching what was happening around him with pleasure, and then he said:

_"Come on, come on, sit down, the food will cool down."

While eating, kagami directed his speech to Hack:

_"Hack my son ... I forgot to tell you,I have chosen a professor for the College of Commerce to make up for the academic shortfall to teach some administrative subjects to our fourth year students and .."

Hack interrupted his father politely:

_"Dad, you know that I wanted to give these lessons to students, you know that I love teaching."

_"My son .. you are my deputy (vice president of the university) , you should not forget that. As you know, I do not always exist, you are the one who runs the university and handles all things."

Then he went on with a smile:

_"The professor is under probation for three months. If she succeeds she will be proven. Otherwise, I will dismiss her… Now you know what to do."

He ended his sentence winking to Hack, then Hack smiled broadly and said:

_"Yes, I am the one who know hhm."

In the afternoon ..

Akashi went down the stairs and went to his mother. He found her in the library in her lovely place. She was sitting on the sofa with a book in her hands .. He saw her immersed in what she was reading since she had not heard him when he entered, then he stood in front of her and said:

_"Ehm Ehm my mother ..” and waved with his hand, then Mikoto raised her gaze.

_" Oh Akashi, are you going now?"

He sat next to his mother and surrounded her shoulders with his arm:

_"Yes, my mother ... as you know I have to personally supervise our chain of restaurants and our cafe, not just their management."

_"Yes, I know, son." and patted his back.

Akashi asked,

_"What are you reading? Ah novel this time, mmmm beautiful, have fun." He stood and waved goodbye.

******************

Sakra went to the window of the salon (the hall), opened it, grabbed the edges of the window from below, took her head out of the window, and inhaled forcefully until it filled her lungs with air, then returned her head and slept with it on her sleeping arms at the window and said in a sleepy, almost dreamy voice:

_"Ooh, how much I miss this air, I can hardly believe I have been in Japan for three weeks now, as if time is a bird flying away in the blink of an eye."

She moved and sat on the couch and looked at her apartment (which is similar to studio) with a smile. She was satisfied and content with it as it was fulfilling the purpose and also to save the money left for her next life.

She went to her room and opened the drawer from the small side table (the commodino) that was beside her bed and took out a folded sheet from it. She sat on the bed and leaned her back on the pillows and put her legs back toward her upper body then opened the paper and read the writing on it for the tenth time

"My dear sweetheart Sakra ,, I am writing this letter to you wishing you a happy and bright life ..

My beautiful daughter, I am now under the waste next to your beloved mother. I know that with my departure you will not have anyone left in this world, but I am confident that you will manage on your own.

Dear Sakra, I am really sorry for what I will tell you now, but you have to trust that I chose the path that will comfort you, my daughter ..

As you know, I lost most of my money in the stock exchange and I no longer have enough money to run the eyeglasses factory, meaning that the factory went bankrupt, which means that hundreds of workers and employees cut off income, which i didn't bear. So, my love, I sold the factory to my friend, Dr. Saito Sejero, who used to travel to me to check my case every period of time , as he no longer practiced the profession of medicine, as he now ran medical device companies.

I asked him at the last time i saw him if he would keep the name of our factory as it is (Hanamishe) and the trademark, he told me that this is difficult, but there is a solution... and that is to marry his son who is called Izuna, so you will be part of the family and it will be easy to keep the name of our factory as it is and he will return it to you.

Dear sweetheart, believe me, Saito is a very good person and I am sure that he will treat you as his daughter, he just wants you to be a member of his family legally.

I ask you to return to Japan and go to Mr. Saito's house as indicated to you in the letter ..

Sakra my love, if you marry his son, you will live happy and you will not be missing anything ..

I deposited all the money left for me into your bank account to support yourself for a period of time ..

I hope you think well and do my will."

Your father who loves you always

Kizashi Hanamishe.
