I Love You Again and Again

Chapter 13

After breakfast, Yoshinori, Katashi, and Saira carried their plates to the kitchen.
•Katashi: "You can put the plates there I'll wash them."
Yoshinori agreed right away and thanked Katashi. While Saira was hesitant.
•Yoshinori:" Saira-Chan, It's ok to leave it to him."
•Saira: "Then... Onegaishemasu."
When Saira left her plate to Katashi she took a quick peek at him, and as Yoshinori called Saira, she gasped.
•Yoshinori: "Saira-Chan, then I'll get going (Ittekimasu)" Said gently to Saira, and while taking a peek at Katashi, however, Katashi did not react.
"That boy...seriously..." said Yoshinori in his inner self. Yoshinori wanted to see how Katashi would react and was expecting at least a peek, a glance, or any signal of jealous reaction. However, Katashi did not react and did not move. He was so focused on dishwashing.

•Saira: "mm, Itterasshai" [ Itterasshai = it is said with good wishes when they are out, and for them to come back safely.]
Said Saira while waving her hands to Yoshinori.
Before Yoshinori get to go out Taiyo (Yoshinori's father) told Yoshinori to wait. "Good morning, Ojisan," said Saira to Taiyo. Taiyo turned to Saira "Good morning, my dear" he said while patting Saira's head with a gentle fatherly smile.

•Taiyo: "Yoshinori, are you going to have your lunch outside or at home?"
•Yoshinori: "I'm not sure, Is there something?"
•Taiyo: "We'll, if you don't have anything important, please come back early. Your uncle is coming today to have lunch with us."
•Yoshinori: " Ok, understood. Ittekimasu"
•Taiyo: "Itterasshai."
Taiyo turned to Saira "You woke up early. Did you sleep well?" Asked Taiyo. He was concerned that Saira would have trouble sleeping in a new place and have trouble adjusting and sleeping well, but Saira assured him that was not the case, he felt relieved.
Saira asked Taiyo whether he would like to eat breakfast right away so she could prepare the table. Taiyo was amused that Saira could cook well and that she had cooked breakfast for them.
•Saira: " Yo-San helped me a lot, I did not do much." said while smiling shyly.
•Taiyo: "But I think you should take the credit because Yoshinori's cooking does not taste so good like that." said with a smile.
•Katashi: " Dad, your smile is creepy."
Not long Tadame came in. She was surprised that Saira woke up early. She thought that she would take her time and sleep since she and Usagi slept late. She walked towards Saira caressed Saira's cheeks and brushed her hair gently. Saira felt embarrassed because she was not used to getting this much attention, however, deep inside her, she felt blissful, thankful, and happy.
•Tadame: "Saira-Chan?! You are awake already? Did you not sleep well, my dear?"
•Saira: "No, I did sleep well, but it's just...that I'm used to waking up early." said while looking away and blushing shyly.
•Tadame: " Is that so? I'm relieved then. I wanted to cook breakfast for you though."
•Saira: " I wanted to thank you all for yesterday, that's why I tried to cook breakfast today."
•Tadame: "Thank you, my dear. However, next time you don't have to trouble yourself and you don't have to repay us anything. Just seeing you smiling and living happily is our biggest reward." said while smiling a motherly loving smile.
Saira was moved, she couldn't say anything that could express how she feels right now.
Katashi woke Usagi up to have breakfast while Saira was preparing and reheating breakfast for Usagi. After Taiyo, Tadame, and Usagi finished their breakfast, everyone started to clean up and prepare to welcome Tadame's older brother Daichi. Taiyo and Katashi helped in tidying up their own mess and buying groceries. While Tadame, Saira, and Usagi were cooking, baking, and decorating.

At 1:30 PM, Tadame's older brother Daichi and his wife came to the Kobayashi residence.
Daichi Ueda, Tadame's older brother. He is a supervisor and the owner of the DU hospital. He has five sons. Four are already successful in the medical field and his fifth son in the media and entertainment management field who is in his last year of university.
•Taiyo: "Welcome, it's been a while."
Taiyo welcomed Daichi and his wife first followed him Katashi. Katashi bowed politely and greeted his uncle and his uncle's wife. While Usagi ran towards the entrance and jumped to her uncle's arms hugging him and welcoming him and his wife bubbly. Usagi led Daichi and his wife to the kitchen.
•Tadame: "Brother, sister in law, welcome. Said while smiling.
Saira bowed to Daichi and his wife politely and introduced herself.
•Daichi: "So you are Saira who my sister kept talking about. It's nice to meet you, my dear." said with a warm smile. " Don't worry I did not say anything about your parents" whispered Tadame in Saira's ears. She assured Saira that she did not tell anything about Saira's parents.
While the girls were taking out the foods Daichi asked about Yoshinori. Katashi answered his uncle " He called and said that he won't be able to make it and that there is a lot to cover in the subjects." Said Katashi.
•Daichi: " I see, he must be studying very hard. I heard that he is trying to finish fast and early so he took subjects which worth 2 years to finish in one year. He is such a clever and hard-working young boy."
•Taiyo: " And what do you think? I heard that the medical field is hard to finish and there is a lot to be done and practice."
•Daichi: " As I said I think he is a clever and hard-working young man, therefore, I think he would be able to achieve what he wants, but he still has to build up his experience."
•Taiyo: " I heard that Hiroki (Daishi's fifth son) finished early and that this year is his last year? "
Taiyo and Daichi kept talking and praising each other children while Katashi was reading and focusing on his book.
When the girls finished setting up the table Usagi called her father and the rest to come to the dining table. When Saira was about to sit down her phone rang. Saira excused herself and went to pick up her phone.
Saira walked to her room and saw that the caller was her father. She picked up the phone and did not say anything.
•SF: " Saira, it's me your father. How have you been?"
•Saira: "... I'm doing fine, thank you for asking."
•SF: " Saira did your mother call you? I tried to call her so many times for so many days but she is not picking up. I have something urgent to talk to her about." Said with a calm voice.
•Saira: "... She called me yesterday and that was all. She won't pick up or talk to me when I call her. She would call back whenever she is convenient. She must be busy."
•SF: "... I see. When you get in contact with her please do inform me. I have to talk to her. It's an important matter."
Saira heard Ren's voice " Could it be!..." said with a worried voice. Masahiro stopped Ren from saying anything further.
•Saira: "... Did something happen?"
•SF: " It's nothing, it's just about work, you don't have to worry. What are you doing now?"
•Saira: "... I was about to have lunch. Dad.." Masahiro interrupted Saira saying " is that so! Then have a nice lunch. And please take care of yourself. If you need anything please do tell me. I have to go now, talk to you later my dear." and hang up the line.
Saira felt confused and suspicious about what's going on with her mother once again. Normally her father won't call her just because he couldn't reach out to her mother, and her mother, there is no way that her mother won't pick up her father's call.
"Did they argue on something?" wondered Saira. However, Saira knows very well that even if her mother argued with her father she would still pick up his call because that's what she kept doing after the divorce. No matter what kind of argument her father and mother started her mother would always pick up her father's call.
Saira tried to call her mother, but she couldn't reach her, so then she tried and called her mother's manager Michi -san but the line was busy. At last, Saira thought it might be an argument between them and stopped calling.
