Chapter 3

"Dinner"

Mika came home from a hard day of school. She took off her shoes and walked into the kitchen. The young teen rested her jacket on the edge of the chair. She sighed.

"School is so tiring." Mika uttered.

Aaiko came downstairs with a bin of clothes, her hair pinned up.

"Hey mom" Mika said as she threw herself on the couch in the den. Her mother gave her a smile then looked around the den.

"Mika when was the last time you clean this place up?" Mika looked at her mom.

"Well..." she sat up on the couch.

"Well…please clean it I'm supposed to have some visitors, thank you."

"Okay" Mika said. "Oh by the way, who's coming?"

"A few friends" Her mother said as she walked out the room then she said. "I think Akira's father might be stopping by too."

"Oh…" Mika muttered as she got up from her seat and helped her mom clean up.

-A few minutes…-

The house was completely clean, Aaiko and Mika brought out some appetizers for her friends.

"So what's this about mom" Mika asked.

"Well…my friends want to invest in some business with Akira's father so I said they could meet here…" her mother told her.

"I see" Mika replied as she helped her mom set up the table. "I'm going to get myself ready." She added as she placed the last plate onto the table.

"Thanks honey, I really do appreciate the help." Aaiko thanked her daughter.

Mika smiled then headed to her room.

A few minutes later…

Mika came downstairs to see all types of her mother's good appetizers. It was a nice setting for the meeting. There was tea and all types of little bite size food. Mika looked and smiled then the door bell rang.

"Mika, can you answer that while I finished putting these stuff out" Aaiko said in a rushing voice.

"Okay" Mika replied.

Mika answered the door and seen that is was her mother's four friends. After they come in, she closed the door behind the last one and 5 minutes later after her mom's friends got settled, the door bell rang again and it was Akira's father. She greeted him.

"Hello" Mika smiled.

"Hi Mika" he replied back.

Kamui walked in and Mika closed the door behind him. The two went into the den. Everyone was sitting, Mika walked over to her mother. Kamui sat down on one of the empty chairs next to one of Aaiko's friends.

"Everyone feel free to grab a dessert on the table, I'll be back to join you guys" Aaiko said as she smiled at them and left and looked back at Mika.

Mika looked back at her mother. Her mother went up the stairs and gave her a look that puzzled her for a second but she moved on.

"Mika...come over here." Kamui said.

Mika walked over to him. "Yes"

"My, my, my have you grown...how did you do that" he laughed and the other's joined him.

Mika laugh a little.

"Actually I didn't call you over here to talk about how greatly you've grown but I wanted to give you this envelope and this box there's things in it of course but don't open it till were gone okay." Kamui said as he handed it to her.

"Okay" Mika took the box and the envelope from him then went into the living room and placed the box and envelope on the glass table. "I wondered what's inside?" she thought then headed back into the den.

Mika's mother speed past her and sat down and joined the conversation that they were having...it was like they were in the investigation room and I was on the other side trying to get their attention it was no use so I took the gifts and head to my room, closed the door behind me and looked at the time.

I sat down on my bed with both gifts in front of me. I grabbed the envelope and looked at it then opened it, inside was a letter along with money. I took out the letter, unfolded it and read it.

Dear Mika,

It's me Akira, you might not remember me that good because you were little but I hope you do. I remember you but not as clearly as I wish I did. Today I really thought of you mostly because my dad finally gave me a break. How's mom? Hope your treating her well...all the memories are fading slowly and I'd love to see you to renew them. Memories are a connection to your past, but sometimes memories need to be forgotten in order to move on...even though I wished we all moved on as a family. Well have fun and hope to see you soon.

-Akira-

Mika smiled as she finished reading the letter. She was glad that Akira did remember her.
