CHAPTER 38
When Hinata came home from school, she closed the front door behind her before removing her shoes. Something inside her felt off. Like a weird feeling. She was unsure if it was bad or good but she know it has something to do with her.
"I'm home!" She yelled.
"In the kitchen, dear!"
Immediately, the teen ran in the kitchen. Her racing heart dropped as her world spun slow motion when she saw her mother sitting with her father drinking tea and Menma smiling at her.
Her backpack fell on the ground as she collapsed on the floor.

Mebuki and Sakura stopped at the hospital for her afternoon therapy check up. Mebuki's results came out positive and she was able to go back to work. Sakura was thankful.
"Great job, Mrs. Haruno. Next month will be your last check up. Have a great day."
"Thank you, Shizune." The blonde hugged the dark haired nurse. The two woman left the hospital and called a taxi. As they got in, Mebuki signs deeply.
"What's wrong."
"I'm so glad things are slowly coming together."
"What did the insurance company said about the house?" Sakura stared at the window.
"They'll help out paying half the damage which is dept for us. And the service will find an apartment under our budget. I even called the police station and your father said he'll be going to court. That was a few days ago." A small smile peeked at the corner of her lips.
Sakura noticed how light her voice gotten. She fixed her eyes on her mother peaceful look.
"What's up? Is Daddy getting out?!"
"Yes. They finally found the man who threaten us." Sakura's green eyes widen in joy. She giggled and hugged her old lady.

"Please eat your food dear." Hinata's mother frowned. Hinata couldn't help staring at her food while the very man sitting across from her is having a civilize conversation with her daddy.
"Haishi is a huge fan of your movies. He been watching your tv shows ever since you was in high school." Yuna laughed at her embarrassed husband. Haishi had to explain how he was fascinated by his talent the growth.
"Thank you for the support." Menma smiled genuinely.
"No thank you for helping my wife out with the hospital bills. I didn't expect her to know you so well." Haishi shot her a look. Yuna avoided him and took a sip of her water.
"I always donate to the hospitals and orphanages. But Mrs. Hyuuga is a special friend of mine. Even though we met for a short time, I still want to grant her wish to come back home to her family." Menma touched their hearts. Hanabi was sobbing next to her mother and felt so overwhelmed by these surprises. Her favorite actor eating dinner with them and helped her mother to recover.
"Actually, how did you two meet?" Haishi asked as he cut his stake. Hinata frozen.
"Honey, don't you remember we were invited to his family restaurants and modeling shows.
"Ah! That's right. How's your family doing." Hinata almost melted in her chair. She felt so sick.
"Nee chan, are you fine?" Hanabi noticed Hinata's plate is untouched.
"I-I don't thin... Can I be excuse?" Hinata pushed her plate away from her. She lost her appetite long ago and couldn't find the right mindset to relax under this pressure.
"Hinata, are you feeling okay?" Haishi asked. Hinata nodded. Menma cleared her throat to grab everyone's attention. He went around the table towards Hinata. But the girl's feet stumbled backwards.
Before hitting against the kitchen furniture, Menma grabbed her hand.
"Mr. Hyuuga, I would like to explain some things to you." Haishi's sharp eyes stared at the two holding hands. He didn't understand the gesture. But didn't acknowledged it.
"Before saying what you have to say but can you get your hands off of my daughter."
"I respect you so much, but... Your daughter is my lover." The grip around her hand tighten. Hinata wanted to run away from this heavy feeling she felt. Clumsily, she mumbled a few things that no one couldn't translate.
Menma's serious hard orbs stared at her father every movement. Outside, they may think he was tough but inside he was reacting like his small girlfriend. Scared.
"Lover? You're joking right." Haishi chuckled. Thinking it was one of his acts.
"I'm not sir. I'm in love with her."
"Is this true, Hyuuga Hinata." Every follicle on Hinata spiked up. She nodded her head. Her bands betrayed her from seeing a very pissed off man in front of her. Her father sipped his dark wine before slamming it on the table.
"Honey-"
"She's a minor in her senior year of high school. And you mean to tell me you're the one sneaking into my home playing with my daughter."
"Si-Sir-"
"Enough. I would like this game to be over. Hinata excuse yourself."
"B-But dadd-" One look from her dad broke her down. She scrammed out the room but Menma caught her hand before she could go anywhere.
"I can call the cops if you don't walk out my house and pretend to not know her or us. This is disgusting. Unprofessional. She's still a child!" Haishi roared.
"Call it however you want but I came here to tell you my honest feelings for your daughter an-"
"This is a joke. Yuna, please pour me another drink."
"Honey, they are telling-"
"You know!?"
"Yes."
