Chapter 8: Kizara:
Biwako's POV:
"So, are you okay with this Yoshiko thing," asks Ori.
"I admit, I do have a little crush on Bassaam, but I make it a point to never date someone you work with," I said, "besides, it's obvious he and Yoshiko have some major chemistry, and I hope they get together," I said, meaning it.
Sosa's POV:
Rotten kids! Something has to be done about them! They need to be controlled! Somehow, someday, someway, I will make sure of it!
Bassaam's POV:
Kizara came into my office. "You wanted to see me," asks Kizara.
"I wanted to talk about your grades," I said, "they don't seem to be... uh..."
"I know," says Kizara, "my Mommy expects us all to be as good as she was, but I'm just not that good! I'll never be as good as her or my brothers!"
I then realized... Jaleela's daughter... is another me! "I can help you," I said.
"Really," asks Jaleela, "why?"
"You and I have a lot more in common than you think," I said.
. . .
So, I started tutoring her and we started getting along well enough.
Yoshiko's POV:
"Wow, so you're my secret admirer, Mr. Nagata." I met him at this restaurant.
"Please, call me Benjiro. I've admired you for a long time. I've been watching you. I understand if you find what I'm saying creepy. Feel free to call the cops!"
"Actually, I find this sweet," I said, "so what do you do?"
"Comedy," says Benjiro, "what do you call a toad that's upset?"
"What," I asked.
"Unhoppy!" He then laughed.
I pretended to laugh.
Bassaam's POV:
"Thanks for the help, Mr. Banban," says Kizara. She then hugged me and left.
"So, why can't you tell her or her brothers or her mother your real name," asks Biwako.
"It's not important," I said.
"What is it about," asks Biwako.
I then sighed. "Her mother... is my older twin sister," I said.
