(After Ahmed told Misaki about his family's wish to meet hers, Misaki remained silent for a few seconds, trying to process the idea.)
Her eyes widened slightly, then she let out a light laugh.
Misaki: "Ahmed-kun... are you really serious?"
Ahmed (smiling): "Of course. Ever since my family arrived in Japan, they have been talking about this."
(Misaki lowers her gaze slightly as she thinks.)
She knew her parents would appreciate this initiative. But at the same time, she imagined the scale of the task awaiting Ahmed.
Two families…
Two different languages…
And dozens of questions that would need translation.
Misaki (playfully): "So, are you prepared to spend an entire day as an official translator?"
Ahmed: "I don't have another choice."
(They both laugh.)
At that moment, Honoka and Yoshika approach, having noticed them talking.
Honoka: "What's happening?"
Misaki: "Ahmed's family wants to meet my family."
(Yoshika's eyes widen with excitement.)
Yoshika: "Really? That will be fun!"
As for Honoka, she smiled quietly. She could see how the bonds were beginning to form between everyone, as if the people brought together by chance had become one big family.
On the evening of that same day…
Misaki returns home and talks to her parents about Ahmed's family's desire to meet them. Her father and mother listen with interest. Then they look at each other.
Misaki's Father: "We have heard a lot about Ahmed's family."
Her Mother: "And it would be lovely to finally get to know them."
(Misaki smiles happily.)
Misaki: "So… you both agree?"
Her Father: "Of course."
The next morning…
A message arrives on Ahmed's phone. He opens it quickly.
It was from Misaki.
"My parents agreed. We can arrange the meeting whenever you like."
(A wide smile spreads across Ahmed's face.)
He feels excitement and nervousness at the same time.
For after all they have been through…
The time has finally come for the two families to meet face-to-face.
In the following days, everyone begins preparing for that long-awaited meeting, unaware that it will be the beginning of a beautiful friendship between two different worlds.
