Hope will enjoy you all! (Also thanks to @gingericywolf for being my revision reader and correct all my works for this month, because my English sucks, really thank you buddy♥️)
Now enjoy the little story of today!
In the silent house the only thing you could hear was the rustle of photo album pages turning and three kids' voices, commenting on the various shots contained in it. You could hear the oldest, telling the little ones the story behind the various memories contained in the album; a radiant smile while describing the picture of his parents' wedding; the long black hair tied in the usual tail waving in the wind, his shy smile that day was shining, the beautiful red suit with meticulous details that made it perfect. "If you had longer hair, you’d be even more like Papa Rei, little brother!" says the oldest, ruffling the hair of the mumbling brother, who however hints at a smile before answering "Just that I’m not as good as him, Aiko, dear sister, and fortunately!" "Alex! Come on!". While the two older ones engaged in a small spat with jokes and sarcasm, the youngest of the three was lost looking at the details of the other person in the photo, of the white dress, of the make-up that did nothing but illuminate the bright smile as she squeezed her beloved’s hands and looked him in the eyes; one could see tears of happiness ready to explode. You could feel the happiness coming out of that shot, and the little girl wanted so much to have a love similar to that of her parents and smiled even more exclaiming, interrupting the argument of the other two, "I am instead just like Dad JD!!! Look at this!" And while the other two were looking at her, Juliet tried to smile like her father in the photo and the other two couldn’t help but smile back, "You’re dad JD, but with the personality of Papa Rei eheh." Juliet stuck her tongue out at him and then they all laughed together.
Alex heard the sound of more laughter coming from outside and, raising his head to check, he saw his parents. Rei was splashing JD with the water pipe that he had probably taken with the intent to water the garden and instead ended up probably getting revenge for a prank made by JD. "Look at those two, sisters, they look like two children eheh," said Alex to get the sisters' attention "Awww, our parents love each other so much!! Did they do that when we were little Aiko?" Juliet asked. "They are just two idiots, they have never changed, Juliet, on the contrary, they get worse and worse" Aiko replied with a loud laugh and then yelling at the two adults "YOU TWO ARE OLD, YOU WILL GET RHEUMATISM IF YOU KEEP SOAKING YOURSELVES LIKE THAT!"
The girl’s words got to Rei’s ears, who turned to look at her with a mockingly offended look and a defiant smile "Why don’t you come here and stop me then! I’m innocent! It’s your dad who’s guilty!" JD made one of his usual dramatic faces and then said, "I’m not guilty of anything!! It was an innocent prank, yes yes."
Alex raised an eyebrow "Sure dad, the devil is definitely more innocent than you." Rei turned to stare at JD, who had a shocked look. "Alex!! Oh come on!! Do not tell me that you are all on the side of pa..." He couldn’t finish the sentence that he heard Rei’s scream as he was being hit by Aiko with a new jet from a water gun, with an evil smile on his face he cheered. "AHHHHH GOOD JOB DARLING AHAHAH!"
But soon JD and Aiko were also drenched, by Alex and Juliet who had reached the fray. "Now we’re even and it’s war!" He shouted a combative and happy Rei and soon everything was just a great chaos of water, laughter and war of water guns.
The album left open on the sofa, was moved by a gust of wind that turned the page, stopping on a family portrait from years ago, when the three teenagers were just children, hugging their parents, who smiled radiantly holding them close to them, and a goat jumped at their feet, with an text next to it, "The Kon’s family", two hearts around and more phrases "Time may pass, but our family remains a force, you are everything." written by JD and "I thank life for allowing me to be happy, you make me happy, you are gold. Now and forever" written by Rei. And it was true, time had passed, that picture was past, but they were still there, in the present with the same energy and joy. The past is already in the albums, now it’s time to capture the present. And the Kon family will still have plenty to tell.
