Dessert Sands Meet Cherry Blooms: A Love Story

Introductions

Sohail Abaza: At eighteen, Sohail Abaza, the heir to his father's vast oil empire, moved to Japan on a mission. His father, Shahil Abaza, believed that Sohail needed to see life beyond the tycoon's luxurious confines to understand the world and lead the family business compassionately and honestly. In Japan, Sohail was meant to learn about those less fortunate, but he found something much more—he found love.

 Sohail's journey led him to meet Tatsuki Hamasaki, a nineteen-year-old high school student struggling to keep his family afloat. Tatsuki, the elder brother to ten-year-old twins Akihiko and Jūtaro, had been the sole provider since their parents' untimely death five years ago. He juggled multiple jobs, striving to ensure that his brothers had food on the table and could attend school. When Sohail and Tatsuki's paths crossed, their lives changed forever. Tatsuki, who had buried his desires under the weight of his responsibilities, was drawn to Sohail's kindness and determination. As their bond deepened, Sohail, despite his wealthy background, embraced Tatsuki's world and his struggles. Their relationship blossomed into a deep love, and eventually, Sohail and Tatsuki married. 

To ensure the continuation of his family line, Sohail took two wives—both sisters of Amira Al-Jazari and Khadija Tohme—to bear his children. Together, they raised a family of five: three boys and two girls. Akihiko Hamasaki and Jūtaro Hamasaki: At eleven, the twins were thrust into a new family dynamic as they watched their brother, Tatsuki, fall in love and marry Sohail. Their lives intertwined with Sohail's world, and as they grew older, they found love themselves. Akihiko married Amira, the younger sister of one of Sohail's wives, at twenty, while Jūtaro married Khadija, the younger sister of the other wife, at twenty-one. The blended family navigated their unique circumstances through challenges and triumphs, bound by love and the promise of a future built together.
