Worthwhile- chapter 3

"Ugghhhhh, Father do we have to help with these boxes?!"Said Fumika."yeah,we were busy!"exclaimed Kira. Akari looks at her father seeing how depressed he looks then looking back at her sisters complaining "Shut up, sisters you had nothing better to do but to flirt with all the village boys."The sisters look at her with surprised faces then looking at their father.After finishing with the boxes the three elder sisters ran off to play in the village with the boys of course while leaving akari home alone with her father."Akari thank you for putting the girls in their place, you've always been much help since your mother's passing."akari looks down and silence starts until she answers"Father since mother's passing I couldn't stand it, I'm doing this because she would want me to do this and because I know how hard it's been on you since she was your wife."Her father shocked hesitantly walks up to his daughter while smiling"your much like your mother the looks and the way you speak..."Her father than kisses her cheek and walks out the door to take care of the market leaving his daughter in tears with what he has said.Hours later and Everyone is at the table eating and discussing how things are or what they were doing like always."So..the market girls,we are gonna need more leaves from the forest...but I'm to old to travel that far.."Said the sisters father,"so don't go."said Mao with attitude."You know what I'd just have had enough of you three complaining about doing chores around our home,Mao, Fumika,and Kira I'm sending you girls to go get the leaves!"Akari looked shocked never had she seen her father that stern with her sisters before.Akari looks at her sister's faces and to be honest they looked pretty frightened and depressed to be picked to go get the leaves from the forest.The girls left the table looking like they were about to cry leaving Akari and her father at the table."Father...what if I went instead of my sisters?"said Akari with a little hope"Akari dear, I've already made my decision the three of them are going and that is final." usually when her father say's final that is the breaking point to just deal with it but this time Akari was determined to make him change his mind."Father, I want to go instead of my sisters and what I say is final."this time Akari was sternly towards her father,her face and body language showed it." be glad I'm just like my mother."she said while walking to her bedroom."sisters it was taken care of I'm going instead of you all."All the sister look surprised"thank god!"said all three of them while putting the blankets over them."your welcome.."whispered Akari realizing that her sisters were faking it the whole time then heading to bed.
