(The days pass quickly, and life inside Ahmed's apartment begins to change gradually.)
Despite his exhausting night shifts… Ahmed never allowed the fatigue to distance him from the three girls. On quiet mornings, he would sit with Misaki and Honoka around the small table, helping them with their studies and explaining their lessons with patience and calm.
Misaki would sometimes smile as she watched him try to explain certain Japanese words in a funny way, while Honoka began to regain her self-confidence, little by little.
As for Yoshika… she had become more attached to him day after day. In the afternoons, Ahmed would sit with her on the floor, teaching her to read and write, drawing colorful shapes and letters for her. She would laugh happily whenever he made mistakes on purpose just to make her feel smarter than him.
And every day… no matter how tired or worn out he was… Ahmed would go personally to pick up Yoshika from school. The moment she saw him from a distance… she would run toward him with her little smile.
Yoshika:
"Ahmed-niisan!"
(Honoka would sometimes watch this scene from afar in silence, bowing her head.)
She couldn't believe that this young man, who had entered her life by chance… had come to give her and her sister the feeling of family they had lost so long ago.
One night… while the little family was having dinner together amidst light laughter… Ahmed looked at them quietly.
For the first time since his arrival in Japan… he felt that this small apartment… had truly become a home.
