Saira had another thought, she thought maybe because of her father's remarriage? but still, something felt off. Saira turned to the Kobayashi's family and stared at them for a moment, they were so bright and happy. Saira smiled faintly.
◽Saira: " They are really a lovely family... I guess it's too late for my family to be like that, right?!"
Saira adored this scene. The scene where the family talk, chat, tease, smile and laugh with each other.
Tadame noticed Saira standing at the side looking at them.
◽Tadame: "Saira-Chan? what are you doing there? come here, my sweetie"
Saira blushed faintly at Tadame's sweet words. She walked toward Tadame and told her that she had a call from her mother.
◽Tadame: "Is that so? hope you had a nice conversation with her." said gently and smiled faintly. Saira nodded slightly.
Tadame did not ask Saira about any details or asked about Saira's mother, she just hoped that Saira had a nice conversation with her mother and assured her mother. She did not want to make Saira uncomfortable in case they did not have a nice conversation or something went wrong with their conversation. Saira felt relieved that was all that Tadame had said. If she asked her how her mother is doing she would have answered Tadame simply with "good", however, she would have thought about her conversation with her mother alot because she felt something off and feels weird.
Usagi asked Saira if it's ok to have a bath together and sleep together tonight. Saira agreed, she needed to be accompanied by someone tonight. After her conversation with her mother, Saira had lots of questions in her mind, and she kept thinking about her mother's behaviour in the past before and after the divorce. Saira's heart kept racing so fast, felt uncomfortable and suffocating, she also felt nervous and worried. Therefore, she felt relieved when Usagi offered her company.
She needed to brush those uncomfortable feelings.
Tadame thought it was a good idea and encouraged the girls to do so, but reminded them not to stay so long at the bathtub so that they won't get sick.
Usagi helped Saira to carry the presents into her room, and both of them got ready for their bath.
Both of them went inside the bathtub with ice cream bars. Usagi had watermelon ice cream, while Saira had melon ice cream.
◽Usagi: "Uwaaah, having ice cream and a warm bath is surely the best, isn't that right, Saira-Chan?!"
◽Saira: "Yes, it's so nice."
◽Usagi: " Saira-Chan, may I ask? , which high school are you going to?"
◽Saira: " S high school."
◽Usagi: " Heeeeh~, so the same high school as Kata-oniichan. S high school's uniform has a cute uniform. I wanted to pick S high school too, but Kata-oniichan is there, so I changed my mind and picked A high school. If Kata-Oniichan wasn't there we would have been in the same high school."
◽Saira: " You don't want to be in the same school as senpai?"
◽Usagi: "Yes, it's annoying. The girls will try to get advantage of me to get closer to Kata-Oniichan. just Imagining it makes me tired."
◽Saira: "... That's true."
◽Usagi: "Right! (sigh) I feel pity for Kata-Oniichan. Oh! by the way, Saira-Chan, how did you and Kata-Oniichan get to know each other?!"
◽Saira: "Well, Senpai helped alot when I was bullied by other students, and then lend me his books and notebooks."
◽Usagi: " What??! Saira-Chan, you were bullied?! but why?! I thought you would be so popular among the male and female because you're beautiful!!" stood up in shock.
Saira smiled awkwardly. Usagi realized and then sat down and apologized.
◽Saira: " Well, I wasn't as I am now back then. I was overweight back then."
▫️Usagi: "What about Saira-Chan's friends?"
Saira shook her head.
▫️Saira: " I don't have any (awkward smile)"
Usagi's eyes teared up. She looked at Saira sadly and hugged her tightly for a moment then she grasped her fists.
◽Usagi: " How can they bully people just because of their appearance. I seriously can't understand this kind of people. So annoying, why they don't just mind their own businesses! Wait and see let them just walk past me, I'll cut their tongues and scratch their faces!" said annoyingly.
Saira smiled faintly and thanked Usagi. With Usagi's reaction, she felt all her frustration and uncomfortable feelings back then disappeared.
◽Saira: " Thank you, Usagi-Chan, for getting angry on my behalf. I feel better now. (smile)"
Usagi felt embarressed and blushed faintly.
◽Usagi: " Well, that's how I feel (blush)... Sara-Chan... I don't have a best friend so... Do you mind if... I..."
▫️Saira: " Yes, Of course. That would be the best gift today."
Usagi's eyes twinkled and got teary then hugged Saira tightly right away.
▫️Usagi: " Oh God, I can't. I just love you so much Saira-Chan!! Please stay with me forever and ever and ever."
Saira had teary eyes, she was so happy to be able to make Usagi her best friend. She was touched and thankful for this moment.
Tadame knocked on the door. Saira and Usagi were startled when Tadame suddenly knocked on the door because they were so into the conversation and their loving besties' moment.
◽Tadame: "Saira-Chan, Usagi-Chan, You guys have stayed long enough. Continue chatting outside the bath now. You guys will get sick."
Usagi and Saira smiled at each other.
◽Usagi: "Hai(yes)~~"
Saira and Usagi came out from their bath, dried themselves and wore their sleeping clothes. Saira wore a one-piece blue silky pyjama with a dark blue robe, while Usagi wore a heart printed two-piece pyjama.
Tadame asked Saira and Usagi whether they are going to sleep in Usagi's bedroom or Saira's so she can prepare the futon. Usagi said in her bedroom because she wanted to show Saira her room and show her other stuff, but then she thought to ask Saira for permission in case Saira was not comfortable.
◽Usagi: "Saira-Chan, we'll sleep in my room is that's alright with you?"
Saira nodded her head in agreement.
Saira told Tadame that she doesn't have to do the futon and that she will take care of it herself.
▫️Saira: " Tadame-San, I mean Obasan, please leave the futon with me, I'll take care of it."
▫️Tadame: " In that case, onegaishimasu~ (If you please) "
Saira took the futon from Tadame so did Usagi. Usagi and Saira took the futon to Usagi's bedroom and prepared the futon beside Usagi's bed.
When they finished Usagi clapped her hands and "Owarimashita~" (all done) she said cheerfully. While Saira smiled faintly at Usagi's cheerfulness and loveliness.
Usagi noticed Saira smiling and got near her.
▫️Usagi: "Saira-Chan, you look different when you smile."
▫️Saira: " Is that so?"
▫️Usagi: "Yes, because just now, your smile hit me in my heart." said while touching her chest where her heart is.
Saira giggled.
▫️Saira: " (giggle) Usagi-Chan, that was so cheesy (giggle) "
Usagi chuckled and winked.
▫️Usagi: "If I was a man I would have taken this chance to approach you because you look like a celebrity. Oh! Talking about celebrities, Saira-Chan, do you have any favorite celebrity?" usagi walked towards her table drawer to take out something.
▫️Saira: " Celebrity? ... No, I don't follow any, therefore I don't have any favorites."
▫️Usagi: " eeeh~ really?! ( clank clunk) Found it!!"
Saira looked at Usagi.
Usagi smiled.
▫️Usagi: " Now I know why you attracted my attention the first time I saw Saira-Chan!"
Saira looked questioningly at Usagi.
▫️Saira: "Eh...Me?!"
▫️Usagi: " (nodded her head) umm, tara~~"
Usagi showed Saira a celebrity picture with an autograph and best wishes and love. It wasn't ▫️that official photos and pictures that you could get from a store or a fan signing, but a personal one.
▫️Usagi: " Your aura and presence feel like the actor Masahiro Endo and your beauty is like a blend of Masahiro Endo and his Model wife Kohana. I love her so much, I'm a big fan of her. She can pull off any kind of outfit. And her personal taste of fashion and beauty is so beautiful and trendy! Oh! ...But I heard they sadly divorced! I was so sad, they also had a child the same age as me! Can you believe it! They were so lovely good looking couples. I'm so sad.
What was Kohana-San surname?... Kohana something"
▫️Saira: "... Kohana Aoki..."
▫️Usagi: " Yes! That's right! Kohana Aoki!... Saira-Chan?... Saira Aoki... And you look like them... Your beauty and presence...!!!!!" Usagi opened her eyes wide "Eeeeeeeeeeeh!!!!!!!" Said Usagi loudly, and then closed her mouth.
▫️Usagi: "Seriously??!!"
Saira smiled awkwardly.
