Chapter 19: The Boy meets Grandpa. Haku and the Truth.

Rin's POV

Rinto, Lenka and I were talking when my phone suddenly rang.

"Excuse me for a minute." I said. When they nodded in approval I proceeded to the kitchen where only Miku was present.

What does she want from me now?

"Hello Aunt Luka. This is Rin."

"Rin, I'll be coming over tomorrow to see you. I should better receive good reports from you."

"Fine, fine. Come here by the afternoon. I have an appointment in the morning."

"Okay. I'll be seeing you." she said and hung up before I could respond.

I went back to the living room and I see Rinto and Lenka talking. They really look good together; I really hope they're not siblings like we thought.

Lenka greets me with a smile. "Welcome back."

"Sorry for the wait." I apologized and I sat on the sofa.

"Who was that?" Rinto asks.

"Ah, Aunt Luka. Megurine Luka. She just told me about her arrival tomorrow."

"By the way, where are you staying right now, Lenka?" I ask.

"Ah, I'm still staying with jii-san. He's old already, and I need to take care of him."

"Dell-san? How's his condition?"

"He's currently bedridden. Since his condition became like that, Haku nee-san left her work to take care of jii-san."

"Who is Haku-san?" Rinto asked out of the blue.

"Ah, Yowane Haku-nee. She's jii-san's daughter. She's been like a mother to me."

Haku's POV

I'm currently at home tending to father's needs. I'm saddened of my father's condition right now. If it weren't for the mafia, he wouldn't be this sick. Father is just a simple man, not until someone came and gave him the daughter of a big mafia family. (Otou-san = Father)

No, I don't despise Lenka. I love her like she was my daughter. The person I despise is that woman - the one who gave Lenka to us and gave the threat to Father.

"Haku... Come here..." Father called me.

"Anything you need, father?" I asked.

"Later, when Lenka comes back... Tell her the truth in what you know about who gave her to us... Lately, she's been out of the house... I asked her and all she told me was that she wanted to know the truth."

Lenka's finally become a fine woman. This is the time that she'll finally learn the truth and accept it maturely.

"I'll tell her. She's finally grown, right, father?" I say and smile.

"She did. That's what true love does to people, right?" father says. Wait...

"Lenka has a boyfriend?!" I exclaim in surprise.

Father laughs. "She does. You were out yesterday. When she came back, a young man has sent her home."

Flashback

Dell's POV

Lenka has come home. She's been out recently. I wonder why?

I saw a young man with her. So this gentleman walked her home?

"Thanks for walking me home, Rinto." I hear Lenka say and she smiles.

That smile, is the smile of a young woman truly in love.

"Anything for you, Lenka." the man called Rinto told her.

I shall meet this man who turned my young girl into a woman.

"Lenka, is that a visitor? Invite him inside." I call out.

"Ah, Rinto, want to come in for a while? You can meet Jii-san too."

"I hope you don't mind. Excuse me for intruding." he says and enters the house.

They come near my bed side. Lenka then introduces him to me. "Jii-san! This is Rinto-kun. Rinto-kun, this is Dell jii-san."

"Nice to meet you, young boy." I tell him.

"Nice to meet you too, Dell-san." he says and bows.

"Lenka, prepare drinks for us. I shall talk with your friend here." I said. Lenka nods and goes to the kitchen.

"So, Rinto-kun. What relationship do you have with my granddaughter?" I ask the man in front of me. He blushes a bit but then answers me with firm resolve.

"I am in love with your granddaughter. She has captured my heart. And I choose to let her keep it."

I chuckle. "Very well, young man. I trust you won't hurt her feelings okay?"

"I won't. I'll be protecting her from pain, and I'll do everything I can to keep her from crying. Because all I want to see are her smiles."

"You pass. Hahaha. Look, a young woman is blushing behind you." I said and Rinto looks behind him, seeing a turned-into-human-tomato Lenka.

"Jii-san!" Lenka says in embarrassment.

We laughed and chatted while Rinto was still here. Rinto went home before sunset. After Lenka accompanied him to the gates, I asked her a question.

"Why are you often out of the house?"

"Because I want to search the truth, with him."

End Flashback

Haku's POV

So that's what happened. Lenka has someone she loves. I'm very happy for her.

"He cured Lenka's trauma, it seems." father tells me.

"That's a good thing. And finally there is someone that will take care of Lenka."

Lenka's POV

I went home after we talked about some matters regarding the DNA Tests tomorrow. Rinto walked me home, but he didn't stay for long since he had matters to attend to. Hard being a boss, I wonder how Rin could handle being a boss and a student...

"I'm home!", I said as I removed my sandals and entered the house.

"Welcome back.", Haku-nee and Jii-san greets me. Haku-nee just finished preparing the food.

I went upstairs to my room and changed my clothes. After changing I went downstairs to the dining table to eat. Jii-san was in his wheelchair with Haku-nee pushing it. We all got ready to eat.

"Itadakimasu!" We said in chorus.

We started eating dinner. While eating, Haku-nee suddenly calls my attention.

"Lenka, I think this is the time I should tell you this."

"Hmm? What is it Haku-nee?"

"This is about the identity of the person who took you from your parents and the one responsible for taking you from your parents."

What? Haku-nee knew?

"I heard your trauma has already been cured."

"Tell me, Haku-nee. Who is she?"

I need to know who she is. She is the reason why Rinto, Rin, Len, and I lost our parents.

"That woman... is Megurine Luka."

Megurine Luka? Isn't she... Rin's aunt?
