 ~Nanami's POV~

"Mommy, mommy look at all of these strawberries!" I say as begin to frolick through the wide open field of my uncle's farm. "WOW! He even has a sheep, and a cow and awe he has a horse too!" 

"Nanami" my mother calls "stay close, you don't want to get lost do you now?" 

"Sorry mom, I just can't help it, the farm is so amazing!" 

My mother chuckles as she picks me up and tosses me in the air. "Maybe you will become a farmer one day then, just like your uncle." 

"Yeah, that would be so amazing mommy!" I giggle.

"Nanami, Nanami, NANAMI WAKE UP!" my sister calls as she begins to shake my on the coach, arousing me from my deep slumber.  "Dad just called a family meeting in the dining room, you better not be late!" 

I sit up and rub my eyes thinking about my dream. Ever since I was little I always wanted to be a farmer. That memory of first visiting my uncle's farm has never left me and continues to haunt me to this day in my dreams. The reason why I say "haunt" is because I know father would never let me follow it. Mother has long given up on trying to convince him and has turned back to her old rich city girl ways. 

I sigh as a pull myself up from the couch and make my way over to the dining room where the rest of my family is already waiting. 

"Took you long enough!" my father dares to proclaim, "let me guess you were sleeping again?"

My little sister waits no time to jump in and embarrassed me once again, "haha yup daddy I had to shake her for fifteen minutes before she even woke up!" 

"Whatever can we just get on with the meeting," I say with the roll of the eyes. 

"Fine," my father said with a clipped tone, "We are moving again, I got another promotion and we need to move further down north to accompany it."

"Darling that sounds wonderful, I'll start packing right away!" 

Great just great, we are moving again and this time even further away from the countryside! My whole life has been filled with nothing but moving vans and packed up boxes. I never had the chance to settle down in one place for a while and make friends, let alone have a love life. I was truly sick of it and wanted it to stop. 

"Father, I have a question." what was I doing you may ask, well, to be honest, I really didn't know either the words just kinda came out. "Father I want to start my own farm!"   the words slipped off my tongue before I could even think about them, but it was what I truly wanted and I'm glad I said them. 

The events that followed were no very pleasant, and honestly, I do not wish to speak in detail about them. Mother laughed and called me crazy while father thought I was stupid. My sister on the other hand cried and kept telling me not to leave her. After an hour of more tears, yelling, and drama my family came to an agreement. I would be allowed to start my own farm only under the condition that I lived in the same village as Uncle Frank. Although I was kinda annoyed about the fact that I would be under another parent's supervision, I was also super excited to finally be living my dream! 

"Pack up your stuff Nanami, you're leaving first thing tomorrow" my father simply states while he begins to arrange the details for my ride there on his phone. "Also I really hope you're cut out for this because once you leave there is no turning back." 

I hope so to I thought to my self as I began to pack my things for the trip that would change my
