GOOD MOTHER

Vino chuckled in denial "You made that up, Sey, not me! I'm not a fan of Elina. The kissing incident was a miscommunication, "explained Vino.

But you're not angry anymore, right, Sey?," Vino said.

"Well, what?"

"Oya, so you're not a fan of Elan?" Seina was reminded even more of Elan by Vino's query.

Seina replied simply, "I don't know."

When Seina said, "Oya, has your leg healed?," Vino was pleased.

Seina displayed the leg wound that was beginning to heal.

He squeaked, grinning, "Good."

Seina walks idly while waiting for Vino to pick her up because it's still quite hot to go home due to the intense sun overhead.

'Tin... Tin...Tin' Seina was unaware of the nearby streets and was startled by the sound of an automobile.

The woman behind the car window yelled, "Sey."

Seina is familiar with the car and its owner, who has known her for a long time.

Upon hearing "Mom," Seina grinned.

This is the first time Seina has seen Elan's mother arrive to pick up Elan, so she asks, "Mom, why are you here?"

"Going home with mom, no problem?"  Seina's hand was held by Rita, who clung to her tightly.

Even though Elina loses against Seina, Rita is quite familiar with her.

"You didn't also invite Elina, right?"

Rita ceased to smile and assumed a somber expression; it appeared that Seina had chosen the incorrect time to mention Elina. However, it cannot be disputed because Elina still shares family ties with Elan's mother.

"Elan still hasn't arrived, has he?" Rita changed the subject and fiddled with her smartphone in an attempt to reach Elan, who never showed up.

"Do you want me to follow you to class now?"  Seina attempts to be like a good daughter in front of Elan's mother. Seina formerly thought it would be nice to have in-laws who were like Elan's mother, but what if Seina no longer likes Elan? Rita would not be her mother-in-law.

"No need. Just let it go. Seina is only speaking to my mother here."

Still attractive and amiable, Seina entered the vehicle and sat next to Elan's mother. Seina longs for a mother who is similar to Elan's mother.

Lan, you are extremely fortunate to have a mother that loves, cares for, and respects you, Seina thought to herself.

"Are you sure you want to wait for Elan here?"  Rita continues to stop Seina from trying to find Elan.

"I already told you that you were here, so just let it go," he said.

"Oh, right, babe,"

"Why aren't you playing right now, Seina?"

It turns out that Rita misses Seina's sunny disposition, which brightens her days.

"Elina never participated in a bun?"  Seina responded nonchalantly.

Rita didn't want to talk about Elina, despite Seina's repeated use of her name.

"Bun... Seina, may I inquire about Elina?" Seina is curious and wants to know what transpired between Elan's mother and Elina as well as how close they were before Elan and Elina dating.

"What piques Seina's interest? I'm willing to listen to anything Seina has to say. I also sincerely hope that Seina and Elan would get along in the future," Rita wept.

Seina and Elan have been given the go-ahead without Seina asking.

Seina remained silent, still perplexed by Rita's query, as she added, "About Elina?" Seina gave Rita a serious look.

"Seina means," he said hesitantly.

"You may be aware that Elina and Elan once had a romantic relationship. When they were younger, they initially met, but it appears that they forgot about it because Elina and Elan's parents were occupied with preventing their future meeting. Elina and Elan didn't finally run into one other again until a family gathering," Rita paused to add rhythm to her narrative.

"I think it's fantastic that Elina and Elan are becoming closer every day. Elina frequently visits the house, and they are constantly together everywhere they go. Eventually, though, mom starts to feel uncomfortable with their proximity. more than general siblings. Elan frequently recounts Elina's childhood to his mother. It resembles a young boy who is in love."

When Seina interrupted her mother's narrative, she questioned, "So did you learn?"

Rita breathed out before continuing, "Mom confirmed it with Elan, but Elan gave a typical response. Mom was at ease as a result, but Mom had more concerns, so Elan and Elina continued to walk subtly. Mom witnessed it."

Seina was astounded by Elan's mother's tenacious efforts to keep the family intact.

"Then?" exclaimed Seina.

"Yes, when mom entered Elan's room, she found nothing there. However, when she opened Elan's closet, she saw a picture of Elan and Elina with the message, "I love you." Mom felt deceived the entire time. mum decided to meet Elina."

What would Elina say to Rita if Seina took on the role of Elina? Elina feels as though she is dying of lice while being judged alone without Elan.

If only Seina were in Elina's shoes, Seina most likely would have maintained their forbidden love as Elina did. How insane Seina was when she first started to admire Elan, in general. Elina may have previously felt that way.

Rita looked in the rearview mirror to see if Elan had arrived, but he never did, so she told Seina the rest of the story.

"Elina claimed that she liked Elan and didn't want to end their relationship. Mom tried to reassure them that they could date but naturally stop the relationship without having to wait, that they could only date for a brief period, but she was unsuccessful," Rita yelled.

"So, how are you doing?"  Seina grew more interested in what would happen next.

"Elan was given instructions by Mom, but at first he resisted, so I just let it go. However, it appears like Elan and Elina are no longer together, don't you think? Elan hasn't been around lately like he used to. Elina is always there."

Just nodding, Sena.

"Fortunately, perhaps that's for the best for them."

Suddenly curious, Seina enquired: "Are you against Elina? Following that episode, Elina claimed you weren't particularly close to her."

"His name is also a little lad who abruptly broke up, how can he not be irritated with his parents?" Rita breathed. Rita grinned as she spoke.

Now that Seina is aware of the reality, Seina can comprehend it when put in Elan's mother's shoes.

"Mom, who is mom to Elina, is genuinely regular like Seina. However, Elina may be shy because she never again plays at home. Perhaps there is also a feeling of uneasiness. Mother is unaware of Elina's condition," She yelled.

Mrs. Rita said, "Perhaps you also realize that Elina is not prepared to see you, which is why you don't look for Elina here."

Shortly after Rita mentioned Elan, Elan banged on the glass door close to Rita, drawing everyone's attention to him.

With a pointed finger at Elan, Rita yelled, "That's the tale, the child came."

Elan opened Rita's car door while she grinned at Seina.

Elan's face showed his surprise at finding Seina in his vehicle.
