Fuji Birthday Day

Sunday, March 12, 2022 calendar hanging on Fuji's room wall that day.

It seems that some numbers there have been marked red cross, apparently Fuji Yuika's sister was counting days, impatiently waiting for the arrival of her birthday to arrive.

March 13th is Fuji's birthday. Fuji is very happy because soon he will celebrate his birthday with his beloved family.

This year may be the 4th year for Fuji to celebrate his birthday without the presence of a full family, since his parents decided to separate.

Madame Elena their mother has rarely visited, even on their birthday Miss Elena did not have time to attend.

Their mother just sent some birthday gifts to their home.

But for Fuji to be able to celebrate his birthday party with his father and Yuika is the greatest gift of his life, he is so grateful to be able to celebrate his birthday with his father and brother who he loves so much.

That afternoon, Yuika and Mr. Yoshimura were busy decorating one of the rooms in their house.

Fuji also appeared to be busy helping his father and brother stick some accessories on the walls of the room.

Yuika put up some flower arrangements and balloons in every corner of the room.

Mr. Yoshimura was putting a colorful ribbon along the ceiling of the room.

Tomorrow is the day that Fuji has been waiting for, he has also invited his schoolmates to come to attend a birthday party at his home.

Mr. Yoshimura appeared to be in his room while calling someone.

"I beg you to come..! I hope you can take your time for her tomorrow. He's been holding your presence all along. I'm sure he'll be very happy to see you at his party tomorrow. I beg you..!"

Mr. Yoshimura, who was talking to his mistress Elena, asked that he would take a moment for her daughter's happiness.

Meanwhile Yuika is busy making birthday cakes in the kitchen, Yuika accidentally did not order a birthday cake from the cake shop because she wanted this year Fuji to be able to enjoy her own birthday cake.

Previously Yuika has come to make cakes in the cake shop owned by her uncle.

so this time he will make a cake very well.

Yuika and master Yoshimura have also prepared a surprise gift for Fuji the next day.

That night at 09:50 they had just finished preparing everything.

Mr. Yoshimura seemed to be sitting pensively on the porch of their house.

Yuika who saw her father sitting alone on the porch of the house then came to approach while carrying a cup of coffee made.

"Dad..! Is dad okay..? Yuika looked anxious to see her father who had been sitting daydreaming in front of the house.

"Are you worried about something..?" Ask Yuika.

"Are you guys happy living with dad..?" Yoshimura asked his daughter.

"What do you think..? How could you think that we were both unhappy living with you..! What exactly is going on..?" yuika said getting anxious.

"Did you and Fuji not miss your mother..?" Sir Yoshimura cried as he looked at the two eyes of his daughter.

Hearing the question from her father that Yuika just fell silent.

For a moment he misses his mother very much but on the other hand he also loves his father very much.

The turbulent taste in his heart made him want to scream.

Sometimes he thinks that his mother has changed like never before.

The love and affection given by his mother was very big, but over time the love faded even more he felt that his mother did not love him anymore.

"Don't tell me that dad will send us both to mom's house..! Said Yuika who looked increasingly anxious.

"Dad won't leave you two, the greatest treasure that God has given to me won't ever give to anyone." Yoshimura's two teary eyes held back the grief.

"Close to father." Pinta mister Yoshimura to the princess he loved so much.

"You and Fuji are the reason you fought to this day." Said master Yoshimura as he continued to hug his daughter.

The night is getting late, the air is getting colder. Mr. Yoshimura and Yuika went inside the house, and returned to their respective bedrooms.

Fuji also appears to have fallen asleep due to fatigue helping his father and brother prepare for his birthday party.

Mr. Yoshimura's cellphone suddenly shook, apparently there was a message that had just entered. Yuika's father opened the message and read it.

"Tomorrow I'm very busy, but I'll try to come see them both tomorrow. I hope you can understand how I am now."

Mr. Yoshimura read the message from Madame Elena while taking a deep breath.

Meanwhile in her room Yuika who still could not sleep sat by the window while looking at the night sky decorated with glittering stars.

Yuika sat holding her phone, hoping that tonight her mother would call her or at least send her a message.

It has been almost 2 years since Yuika and her mother have rarely communicated through mobile phones, especially after they moved out of Tokyo a few months ago.

Every time he called his mother, her cell phone was always busy.

And if they talk to each other then they only ask each other and nothing more.

It seems that Yuika is still waiting but she did not get a message or message from inside her phone.

Yuika then opened her phone while typing a sentence and sent it to her mother.

"My sister Fuji will be 10 years old, she doesn't need a gift or any gift from mom just make it in a smile by seeing mom come to her party tomorrow."

Yuika then sent the message to her mother.

After the message he wrote was successfully sent to his mother's contact he immediately returned to his bed and Yuika went to sleep.

The next day is Monday, March 13, 2022.

The residence of master Yoshimura looked so very crowded. Fuji's birthday party was attended by children from Otaru Elementary School, Uncle and aunt Fuji and Miss Naomi were also present. Miki and Hana also come to celebrate Fuji's birthday party that afternoon.

She over a table looks so many gift wrappers from Fuji's classmates at school.

Meanwhile, Mr. Yoshimura and Yuika gave a special gift, a beautiful new bicycle.

Fuji was very happy to receive a gift from his father and brother. He hugged his father and brother while saying thank you.

The party is over. It's been a few hours, but Miss Elena still hasn't come. Mr. Yoshimura looked disappointed at his ex-wife. Yuika also looked very moody, she really thought that her mother no longer cared about the two of them.

The beautiful afternoon has now become evening, the atmosphere has become a little dark, Miss Elena is still no news.

The sky became dark as the night sign was coming, the sound of knocking from behind the door of master Yoshimura's house sounded slow but sure.

Yuika came out of her bedroom while running immediately to open the door. Looks like Elena's mistress Yuika's mother is standing before her.

Yuika who saw the arrival of her mother was just silent stiffly unable to say anything.

It felt like he wanted to hug his mother but he abandoned his desire because his heart was still injured.

"Mother..!" yuika exclaimed while looking at her mother.

"Mother here, I miss you both so much. Forgive the late mother." madam Elena came hugging Yuika tightly.
