Sasuke's POV

I have been searching through the town for more than an hour now and still no sign of Chisuke. I went to the woods and kept shouting her name when I came upon a small lake and stop for a moment. I feel a lingering pain and regret in my chest, I look across the lake and saw her, hugging her knees and looking at a distance,

I immediately ran to her side but cautiously, approached her.

"I'm sorry..." I said, looking at the lake avoiding to gaze at the crying face of my daughter,

"I knew..." she said, sounding weak and sad,

"You knew?" I asked, as my eyes widen,

"I knew or had the idea... But I always dismissed it... Thinking that it was just wishful thinking... that there would never be a chance..." she said,

"Or maybe because I didn't know what to feel towards the person who made my mother happy and sad... You, who made her shed tears flowing like rivers on her face, in many countless nights ever since I can remember..." she said, which pained my chest more,

"Chisuke... I –"

"But... it wasn't something I can control... Loving you, either being my father or a man who made my mom smile, was never something I regret..." she added,

"Chisuke... I love your mother... " I said assuring her,

"and she loves you..." she said as she turns to face me, her face flowing with tears and her nose slightly running, "and this time, you're the one leaving," she added causing her more tears. The pain she causes me when she cries while saying such painful things,

"And you will make Mama cry again. I will see her struggling smiles every morning... I will find her in deep thoughts , blank gazes and I will be there for her... but sometimes, I know... that I am a reminder of you... and that my existence will be both of joy and sorrow for her..." she said her voice breaking but she tries to keep it strong,

"That won't happen... I know..." I said with confidence,

"How? How do you know? You weren't there... " She asked with a tinge of rage and confusion on her words as she tries her best to stay calm,

"I don't... But all I know... no matter how scared, irrational and an idiot your mom tends to be... I won't comply with a request or demand of me leaving the both of you," I said with all of my determination, assuring her of everything I want is mutual to hers.

I went closer to her and offered my hand. She held it and stood up. I could feel her slowly calming down. I bended down to see her eye to eye and I could see that she was not sad anymore.

"Then, how will you convince mom?" she asked, as she sniffs and wipes her nose, looking like her mother from years back,

"I just have to level with her stubbornness and win," I jokingly said,

"Promise me..." she said, looking straight to my eyes, "... you will never make her cry again..." she requested, I smiled and nodded to her request,

"... and I want ramen and tomatoes for dinner," she added, as she flashes her smile ever brightly at me.

"That's no good... Your mom already prepared curry... Let's have that next time..." I said as I gently caress her head. I offered a piggyback ride which she immediately accepted,

"Pa..pa..." she shyly called me,

"Yes, Chisuke... " I said, if she only knew how she made me happy with just those words... We went back to where our beloved Naruko is waiting.
