The clouds were building on one side of the sky covering the sun that was set so high that noon; it was a perfect climate to shoot for the scene between Keisuke and his father. After setting the rooftop of the hospital retouching the make-ups of both Ren and his father everything was ready, with a go signal from director Musashi the scene was filmed.
Keisuke was sitting with his back resting on the wall smoking cigarette beside the rooftop door while his father, Dr. Ryo Kiritani stands in front of him with his hands at the pockets of his smock gown (doctor's long gown).
"Do you really plan to leave Japan to study?"
Keisuke raises up puffs his cigarette in front of his father's face making him cough and says to him, "I do, and I shall return to take this hospital from you. I will become the best doctor and show you what I am capable of doing in my own way."
Ryo grabs his son's left arm glared at him that Keisuke glared back.
"Expect no support from me Keisuke."
"Remember the day when I told you the only respect left from me to you is the fact that you are my father? When you said that you are not in favor with my relationship with Miho my little respect left for you was gone." Keisuke said before removing his father's hands away from his arm.
"Cut! Excellent the glare between the two of you is great." Musashi said smiling at both Ren and Kuu.
Kuu fell down to his knees after being weakened by his son's glare. "I would never want my own son to hate me like that it will kill me slowly emotionally."
Ren helped his father stand up and spoke to him. "Your son will never do such a thing to you unless you will also contradict your son's relationship with the girl he likes."
Musahi put his left arm in Kuu's shoulders and said, "Ren is right Kuu you must never mingle yourself in your son's affairs if you don't want him to curse you like what Keisuke did to his father."
After wrapping the things used for the hospital's rooftop they all returned to the rest house leaving Kuu and Ren to take a break for scene requiring the two of them will be shot in the evening. Kyoko was fetched up from the rest house for her scene with Nabatame Yuuko. Upon arriving at the home where Miho and her mother are living Kyoko felt a strong presence inside her.
What is this feeling am I feeling this because I am required to do heavy drama in front of Mrs. Nabatame Yuuko?
"Are you ready to cry a liter of tears for today Kyoko?" Kurosaki asked
"I already cried with my scene with Tsu-Ren earlier today, I shall cry again with my scene with Mrs. Yuuko and with father and Ren later today I guess my tears will be more than a liter today." Kyoko said with a smile.
"You really are full of surprises Kyoko, I can't believe you are the same girl in the Kurara commercial I worked with before the longer you work in the industry the more you become a legend in the industry."
Kyoko's eyes widened and grinned while her demons were celebrating on what Kurosaki said it was praise coming from a director like him. "A legend, I like the sound of that."
Michael retouched Kyoko and Yuuko's make ups gave them their clothes to be used and when they were ready for their scene director Musashi ordered the whole crew to start filming.
Miori Akiyama Miho's mother was kneeling patiently waiting for her daughter to return home, when Miho retuned her mother asked her to kneel in front of her for she had something important to say to her.
"Have you been going out with a young man?"
"Yes mother, how did you know I was just about to tell you but –"Miho was interrupted by her mother.
"Is he the son of Ryo Kiritani?" Miori's voice from a calm tone becomes sharp.
Miho nodded her mother's voice like that scares her.
"Ryo told me everything about your relationship with his son and I already know that you have been there in the Kiritani residence to ask for blessing from Ryo but he was not in favor of your relationship with his son."
Miho started to cry when her mother mentioned what happened in the Kiritani residence it was the reason why Keisuke will leave her to prove to his father his worth and to be the right man for her.
"I know how much it hurts but your relationship just can't be."
"Why mother, is it because we are poor and they are rich? That is just unfair so unfair!" sinking her eyes to her palms crying.
"Believe me there is more deep reason behind it." Miori said in a normal tone of voice feeling sorry for her only daughter.
"Then tell me the reason so I can understand."
"Cut!" Musashi said.
Michael immediately gives Kyoko a box of tissue paper to wipe her tears and to sneeze her nose into.
"That was great Kyoko you cried with the right emotion Miho would feel. I am happy to act again and work with a young promising actress like you I thought you were a hard head artist like most young artists are with your attitude before the kissing scene but I stand corrected." Yuuko said to her in a happy tone of voice.
Kyoko bows in front of her to show her thanks with the praise she gave.
"Director the sky is getting darker indicating an upcoming rain." A crew memeber said.
"Perfect, tell our men left in the rest house to take Kuu and Ren in the Kiritani residence for we shall proceed to shoot there to finish the first half of the movie today."
"Yes director."
Ren and Kuu arrived at the Kiritani residence a few minutes later than Kyoko and the crew who filmed her scene with Yuuko. Ren approached her upon seeing her and asked how her scene with Yuuko was.
"It was great, she praised my acting."
"That's good you are already making your proving ground in the industry."
"Not yet, I still have a lot of things to catch up."
"There you are director Musashi was looking for the two of you for we need to film now before the rain starts to pour for we need the rain later not now." Kurosaki said in a dominating voice.
