Epilogue
Chapter 02

"Reirei! Wait!"

My voice couldn't reach her, she's already gone from the hallway, only her bunny plushie remains in front of our door.
She's crying, thinking that we might not going to the beach tomorrow.

"What should we do, dear?"
"Miyu… She's really looking forward to it, right?" I asks her.
"Yes, but, how about tomorrow's exhibition?"
"There's always next time for that, but for now, there's something more important."

I took the bunny in hand, and bring it to Reimi's room.
I could hear sobbing voice from inside her room, she's still crying, I knocked her door slowly to ask for her apologize.

"Reirei, it's Daddy, may I come in?"
"….." she didn't answer, but I could still hear her sobbing.
"Reirei, I'm sorry," I apologized in front of her door, hoping that my voice would reach her.
"I don't like you, daddy!" she shouts to me.

There's nothing sadder than being hated by your own daughter, at least that's what I thought right now.
But what I could do now, is just keeping my promise to her.

"Tomorrow, let's go to beach, together, Reirei…"
"You liar…"
"Don't worry about the exhibition, Daddy would still come with you and mommy to the beach, come on, you already have a new swimsuit, right? Let's wear them tomorrow."
"…" She still silent even though I said that.

"Your bunny is here, Reirei, come on, let daddy see you, please."

She likes this doll very much, it always be around her every time she sleeps, it seems she cannot sleep without it.
Which is good that she left it before, so I could have a reason to see her, if not, I don't know what else should I say, and yes, she opens her door moments later.

"Reirei…" She just open her door briefly to take the bunny, then closes it again.

It seems I was rejected, but even though it's like that, I already made my mind about tomorrow.

"Dear…"
"Don't worry Miyu, she should be able to sleep tonight, I hope…"
"Are you sure about it?" she asks me.
"About what? Miyu."
"About tomorrow, are you sure by turning down their invitation?"

"Ah, that one, I think I'll let our workers handle it, it doesn't matter much as for now." I said to her.
"But, you said this could be a chance…"
"Miyu, making our daughter live with a lie, is something way worse than letting this chance slips by, I can just work harder like back then." I said to her as I hug her.

"Are you sure you can, dear?" she lays her head to my chest.
"Hey, don't underestimate me, you became famous back then because of me too, right? Well, it might took more time, but as long we keep our steady progress, it should be fine."
"You're right, it's not like we're going to bankrupt anytime soon, right? Dear." she smiles.

The next morning, I wake up earlier than usual to prepare everything, well, by everything I mean just warming up my car and load the luggage while Miyu makes some breakfast for us to bring.
It's gonna be a long drive, since our place is in the middle of mountainous village, it needs around two hours for us to reach the usual beach.

"I guess it's time…" I said to myself after finishes loading.

I stood up in front of our place, looking at Reimi's window upstairs.

"Reireeeeeeei! Wake uuuup! Let's plaaaaay!" I shouted to her from here, waking her up.
"Reireeeeeeeiiiiii!"

It doesn't take much until she opens her window and looking at me.

"Daddy?"
"Come on Reirei! Let's go out and play!" I invited her cheerfully, with my summer attire, it should convince her enough that we're going to the beach today.
"Eh… daddy… but…"
"Come on hereee! Or we'll leave youuuu!"
"Aa… aaaahhhh, wait meeeee!" She panicked a bit and rushed downstairs.

She came out from our house and run towards me, still wearing her pajama and her adorable bed hair.

"Heey, why are you not ready yet? You don't want to go to the beach with daddy and mommy?" I asks her as I kneel in front of her.
"Eh… but… you will go to somewhere…." she asks me with her confused looks.
"Yees, somewhere, to the beach, look there, your mommy even already made some food to eat in our trip." I said to her as Miyu brought boxed lunch, I mean breakfast from inside and smiles to her.

"Reirei, you want to go to the beach?" Miyu asked her.
"Mommy…. I…."
"Come on, let's have loooots of fun today, Reirei," I said to her as I pats her head.

Yet she cries again, but this one is surely different from last night's tears.

"Daddyyyyyy….. 'sob'…. I'm sorryyyy." she cries.
"Eh, Reirei… why dear? Don't cry."
"Sorry… for calling you a liar…. daddy…."
"Hey, Reirei, I'm sorry too I made you cry, but its okay now, let's have fun today and pretend last night never happened, agree?" I smiles to her as I hug her.

"Agree!" she smiles widely as she answers.
And thus, we're off.

"Phew, it's done."
I said to myself after spreading the mats and put the parasol in place, while waiting for those two changing their outfits.

As for me, I just need a beach shorts, and I'm done, I even wear it since beginning before we off from home.
While looking at the scenery with the binoculars I brought along, well, scenery I mean the waves, not the pretty girls in revealing swimsuits, trust me on that.
But it seems my wife thought the opposite one, it showed on her sulking expression as she took my binoculars suddenly.

"Huh… it's just several minutes we left you and you already doing some indecent act…" she complaints.
"Aaaah, you see, I just looking at the waves, Miyu, it really is, haha…"
"Waves is in front of you! Not that big breasted woman under that parasol! Hmph!."

"Eh? Aaaah, I'm sorry for that… haha…. it's just hard to not notice it I guess…" I smiles weirdly to her, only to have her sighing as she sits beside me.
"Then, do you prefer bigger breasts? I can contact Oikawa-san or Katagiri-san to come here," she offers me with her sulking expression.
"No need to do it, Miyu, my eyes is just for you dear, come on, forgive me, please," I poked her bare shoulder as I said that.
"Hmph."

Well, she might be sulking, so it means she's jealous, well, I guess anyone will be jealous if their partner are looking at someone other than them, can't be helped if you loves someone.
But this Miyu, her sulking expression is so cute, I can't help but to tease her every now and then, of course, I'll never really do that, she's my only one after all.

"Daddy, are you a pervert?"
"E… eh… Reirei… where do you learn that word…" I'm shocked she even know about that.
"The boys in my class said that, if boys looks at girls, it means he's a pervert," she said to me.

"Reirei, stop that, daddy is not like that, aaaah," Miyu took her in her arms.
"Daddy, is mommy not beautiful?"
"Eh? Mommy? Of course she's beautiful, veeeery beautiful," I answer her.

"Then, don't look at other girls, daddy, or someone else will look at mommy," She said to me innocently.
"Eh?" I shocked upon hearing that.

"Miyu? Is something happened?"
"N…. nothing dear... nothing important… don't worry about it…." Miyu blushes as she said that, so it means something just happened before.

"You know daddy, there are loooots of boys looking at mommy while we're walking, some of them event wants to buy her a drink," again, Reimi said that to me innocently.
"Eh, is that right, Miyu?" I asks her.
"Well… there were some earlier… but don't worry dear, I can just ignore them."

"Miyu…."
"I am your wife, right? It means I love you very much, don't worry about that, I'm sorry for not telling you," she said that to me with a somewhat sad expression.

I know that she's a beautiful woman, even after she gave birth to Reimi, her beauty and sexiness still on par with those women in their prime age, well, she is beautiful and I am lucky to have her as my wife.
But, it means that she is also saw by other man as well, seems it goes with some challenge eh, but it does not matter, I just need to love her so much until she don't need to seek it from someone else, especially when I remember how she acted around me back when we're still in 346 Production.

"I'm sorry dear…" she apologizes.
"Ah, don't be, it's not your fault, it means I just need to love you even more, right? Miyu, so you won't go to someone else."
"Dear…" she smiles as I embraces her shoulder, but hey, I can tell she's asking for something.

"Aaah, stop it, Miyu, Reimi is in front of us," I said to her as she closes her eyes and making her face closer to me, asking for a kiss.
"Eh… Ah… I'm sorry dear, I didn't realize it…" she blushes as she pulls herself from me, making some distance between us.

Thankfully, Reimi did not saw us during that, she's busy playing with the white sand in front of us, we should keep our hyper lovey dovey acts when it's really just two of us.
Heck, I even surprised when Reimi said pervert before, damn kids these days if you don't keep an eye to them.
But, Miyu is their teacher, right? Could it be her that teaches those kinds of stuff? Is it the time already?
If like that, I think I should "interrogate" Miyu when we back home, I'll inspect her veeery thoroughly.

The sun's already almost on top of us, phew, it's damn hot here even though we already played in the water, applying the sun blocks, and lays under this wide parasol, it's still damn hot, well, it's beach for you.
But know something hotter? Miyu is laying beside me with her new frilly swimsuit, and her body still slightly wet from the water and her sweat even though she already wiped them with towels.
And if I cannot hold myself, I will lost my cool here, right in front of our lovely daughter.

"Daddy… I want some ice…." Reimi pokes my arm.
"Eh, ice? Hmm now that you mention it, I want it too, let's buy some, shall we?" I said to her and she replies with a big cheerful smile.
"Really? Yaaay! Let's go! Let's go!"

"Ah, let me buy that, dear," Miyu sits upon hearing Reimi's cheerful voice.
"Miyu, is that okay?"
"It's okay dear, I think we need snacks too."

"Wait, if you go alone, how if someone flirts you?" Suddenly that thought came, after what happened earlier today.
"It'll be fine, I can just ignore them dear, do not worry."
"Ah… but…"
"If you go with Reimi, you will left me alone too, right?" she smiles at me.

She's right, if I go with Reimi, she'll be alone, same goes if she went by herself, if I go with Miyu, Reimi will be alone.
Going all three? Someone might take our belonging, brought our belonging as well? Our spot could be taken, what other choice we have? Letting Miyu go with Reimi? No, absolutely not, it makes me worry more.

"Th… then… we'll be waiting, Miyu..." I said to her.
"Come on, don't keep worried, I will not leave you dear," she smiles as she said that and off she goes.

Well, it does makes me happy when she said that, those words coming from a lovely woman like her, everyone would be glad to have her by their side of course.

As I wait her to returns, I'm just keeping an eye to Reimi, who's making a sand fortress in front of me, whoa, she's got good skill for that.

"Daddy, is mommy still not back?"
"Eh? Mommy? Ah…"

Dammit, it's been almost 30 minutes since she's gone, and it's not even that crowded when I glanced at the store before.
It's not that far but still takes around five minutes to reach there by walking, and it's already this long, damn, I didn't realize the time passed by.
Which makes me extremely worried right now.

"Reirei, want to pick mommy? Maybe she forgot her way back."
"Ah, clumsy mommy, can't be helped then, let's go, daddy!" she said that as she stood up from her fort.

We walked along the beach towards the stand, and it doesn't take long before we found Miyu.
It's pretty easy to spot her even from behind, an average build, brown hair, blue knots in her back and a translucent blue wrap skirt around her waist which shows her blue rose patterned lower part, and carrying a plastic bag, yes, it's Miyu for sure, just…

She's standing there, being hugged, or is hugging a man.

And their lips, locked each other… deeply.
