The Trip Of My Heart

EPISODE 28 --> Mysterious help

In the afternoon, Uncle and Yoshi had prepared a small meal to celebrate Mirai's birthday. A small tart cake decorated with colorful candles has been lit. Mirai closed her eyes and prayed in her heart.

Prok Prok Prok!

The sound of applause echoed in the room.

"Happy birthday, Mirai" said Yoshi.

"Ah, it doesn't feel like this little uncle's niece is now 21 years old. Mirai has grown up to be a beautiful woman. Happy birthday, Mirai. May all your hopes come true" said Uncle.

"Thank you, Uncle." Mirai smiled sweetly.

Uncle tried to liven up the atmosphere. "Let's cut the cake. Yoshi, you want no cake?"

"I want.. I want..!" yoshi shouted happily.

Mirai smiled at the look of her little family. He cuts the cake and shares it with Yoshi and Uncle. Mirai's simple birthday party ends happily.

***

Today, Mirai officially did not go to college. He filled his days with helping Uncle in the restaurant.

While in class, Eisuke constantly looked towards Mirai's empty seat.

"Why didn't he come in? Did something happen to him?" ask Eisuke inwardly.

The second to fifth day, Eisuke was still staring at Mirai's empty chair. The guy's mind started to get messy and frustrated.

At night at Harada's residence, Kaito is seen playing the piano in the music room. Eisuke with a restless expression entered the room and approached Kaito.

"Kaito, I want to talk" Eisuke said in a serious tone.

"What's wrong? Just say it," Kaito replied while playing the piano.

Eisuke seems annoyed that Kaito looks not serious. "Kaito, stop the piano! I want to talk to you."

Hearing Eisuke's high tone, Kaito finally stopped his piano. "Why are you angry? What exactly do you want to talk to me about?"

Eisuke looked at Kaito seriously. "Kaito, do you know anything about Mirai? He hasn't been to college for 5 days."

"Why are you asking Mirai of me?" ask Kaito wonder.

"Since you are the assistant Professor, you must know something about him" Eisuke replied confidently.

Kaito looked at Eisuke. "It's only been 5 days not meeting her that you've gone crazy like this. Do you really want to let her go or not?!"

"Not to ask that. Quickly tell me what you know about Mirai," replied Eisuke coldly.

"Okay, I'll tell you the truth. Mirai Sakurai went to college because she got a scholarship. The scholarship time is over. He had no charge to continue his studies and he chose to quit." Kaito reveals the truth.

Eisuke was shocked. "I'll cover the cost of his college."

Kaito frowned "Are you sure of those words? Our campus is the most expensive campus in Tokyo. And you already know, the tuition there is not cheap. Are you sure you want to spend a lot of money on that girl?"

"I don't care. Take care of all Mirai documents immediately! I'll pay for all the money. Oh yeah, one more thing, don't tell anyone about this. Whatever I did to Mirai was the secret of both of us" Eisuke said.

"alright. I will fulfill your wish" Kaito replied.

Eisuke turned around, then left.

Kaito looked at Eisuke while muttering. "Looking at what you've done just now, I'm not sure you'll be able to let Mirai go."

***

A few days later, the college called Mirai and told her to come to the campus. Mirai came to the campus hesitating and confused.

Arriving at the professor's room, he saw Kaito was busy there.

"Excuse me" said Mirai.

Kaito. "Oh, Mirai. Please sit!"

Kaito smiles. "I represent the Professor to take care of your college matters."

"My college thing?" asked Mirai confusedly.

"Yes, the matter about your college. There was someone who helped with your tuition and now you can go back to college as usual" Kaito explained.

Mirai widened her eyes in surprise. "uh? Did ya? If you can figure out who that guy is?"

"Yes, right. That guy was very kind and generous. He is willing to donate his fortune and help you. But unfortunately the man refused to be named" Kaito replied.

"Pulse.. Is that so? That guy must be a very nice guy. It would be nice if I could meet him and say thank you. Brother Kaito, please convey my gratitude to him. His kindness I will always remember in my heart" said Mirai sincerely.

"Okay, I'll tell him."

"Thank you, Brother Kaito."

"alright. From tomorrow you can go to college again as usual" Kaito said.

Mirai smiled happily. "Yes, thank you. Again, thank you very much."

Before returning home, Mirai stopped by to visit the graves of her parents.

"Dad, Mother, how are you? I hope you guys are always happy there. Father, mother, I have failed to achieve my love. I have lost the man I love. However, today there is a kind person who wants to help my tuition fees. I am so happy to be back in college. I promise you that you will learn well" Mirai said in front of the graves of her parents.

Upon arriving home, Mirai told Uncle everything.

"Well, that guy's really nice to help out with the tuition for people who can't afford it. Hopefully one day Uncle can meet with that person and say thank you," said Uncle.

Mirai smiled brightly. "If given the chance I would also like to meet that person."

***

The next day, Mirai eagerly departed for campus. He sat in his seat as usual in class.

From his stool, Eisuke looked at Mirai with a smile. "Welcome back, Mirai."

Seeing Mirai enter college again, Aiko and Hiro immediately greeted the girl. They both do not know the true events.

"Mirai, have you returned from the village? How was your visit there? Was fun?" ask Aiko.

Mirai smiles. "Yes, nice."

"Hi, I miss you so much. Don't make me die of love" Hiro said.

"Ehem.. there are more kangen nih," Aiko's tease.

"May I play at your place tonight?" whisky Hiro.

"Yes can."

"Okay, I'll be there tonight" Hiro blinked one eye.

The sun started to set, and Eisuke was looking at the sky on his balcony. From behind, Kaito suddenly came to him.

"The girl thanked you" Kaito told Eisuke.

Eisuke fell silent and looked at the sky with a calm expression.

"Are you sure you're gonna let Mirai go?"

"Yes, I'll let go."

"If you love her, why should you let her go? I really don't understand your way of thinking." Kaito doesn't understand his sister's mind.

"I let go of Mirai because I want her to be happier," Eisuke replied.

Kaito sighed. "I hope you don't regret those words."
