I'm not really a good author and I'm not someone who likes sharing stuffs that are very private... But I remembered someone who told me that "Try to share things especially emotions... Because they can help you ease out your heart." The same person who told me this is the person who changed me and made me smile for the first time in a long while.
Prologue
I'm Kirigaya Aiyako. I'm half japanese for my mom's a filipino.
My dad owns a company in Japan while my mom owns a company here in the philippines. Right now my dad is in Japan, while my mom is here in the Philippines. As you can see, both of them are big time owners of companies. They barely has time for each other and barely has time for their daughters. Yes, I have a little sister. Her name is Aiya, which is also from my name.
Me and Aiya are the only ones here in our manor. Our house is a manor, but only me and Aiya occupies it. The maids sleep and the Maids Quarter outside the manor. So all in all, only me and Aiya lives in this spacious house.
Every day we see maids, butlers and guards around us. We never had friends for we never stepped out of our house. Only me and Aiya plays together but one day Aiya had an attack. I was devastated when we knew that she had cancer. And in a very delicate stage. Mom and Dad wasn't there when Aiya was checked by the doctor. I was 10 at that time and Aiya was 8. Only I know about her illness.
I told mom and dad about it. It took almost a week before they went home. The doctor told them everything. The sickness is in the family blood of Dad. He told us that grandpa died in cancer too. It seems like it's an heirlom to them.
I told mom and dad to at least spend time with my sister. But they told me they can't. They were busier than ants and they can't just leave their work. I made a decision, telling them that I will take over. At first, they told me it was impossible for I'm just a 10 year old. I just stated the obvious back then.
"I was here in this house for ten years. I didn't go to school but studied at home. I didn't only studied the basics, but also the things about business. You told me, I can hire anyone that I want to tutor me. I hired Henry. You weren't here all the time, so you didn't know. Henry is also my butler. He taught me all the things that are needed in managing businesses. I studied everything and how things work in both of your businesses. Give me a week and I will prove it to you. Just please stay with Aiya. She always wanted to spend time with the two of you. So please, even if it's just for a week. Stay with her and give me a chance."
I succeded at that time. They accepted my offer, I was happy. Even if it meant that my life will be changed, I don't care. I thought of my sister. She's more important than I am. I love her so much that I would do anything just so she would be happy. I went to Aiya and told her about Mom and Dad spending time with her. As expected she was happy. I didn't tell Aiya everything, she didn't know that it was just a deal. But, seeing her happy makes me happy.
Everything went smooth at that time. Mom and Dad spent time with Aiya, and it seems like they are happy.
As for me, I didn't get to sleep much. I only sleep for at least 2 hours a day. All my time was filled with meetings and stuffs. While on the way, I read some paper that needed to be signed. I read deals which may be good to both of the companies. With the help of Henry, I managed to give a good result. I was able to keep the companies in good shape. As promised they would spend time with Aiya until she fully recovers. I was able to keep the companies in good shape but it seems like I didn't get to keep myself in a good shape.
Henry would sometimes scold me for being too workaholic, but I just shake my head, drink some coffee and continue my work. Of course I also grew tired too for I'm not wonderwoman, but knowing the thought that Aiya is happy and is recovering, it just gave me strenght every day.
