Chapter 566: The Musician and Her Twin Daughters
While Theo and the others started their day with a morning workout, in a particular suburban neighborhood of Elffire City, a family of three woke up early for a completely different reason.
It was 05:30 AM when a middle-aged woman woke up as she did every day. Koshikawa Kyo was 57 years old, and she had the typical face of a kind lady. White hair, kind eyes, and a bright smile. But although she was almost 60 years old, she looked extremely beautiful. It was noticeable that she was a quite a beauty in her young years.
Just like she did for most of her life as she woke up, she immediately brushed her teeth before heading toward the kitchen of the house where she would prepare breakfast for everyone.
She made coffee, tea, pancakes, omelets, and fried banana chips.
However, she didn't stop working after preparing the breakfast, she immediately started cooking the lunch she would place on the bentos that she would give to the other two members of the family.
Koshikawa was mid-cooking when she heard noises coming from upstairs of the house.
'The girls must have woken up.' She said to herself when looked at the clock and saw that it was 6 o'clock.
Just like she expected, 5 minutes later, two teenage girls entered the kitchen and greeted her at the same time with a sleepy voice, "Good morning, Mom."
Koshikawa let out a motherly smile as she replied, "Good morning, girls! Breakfast is on the table."
The girls thanked her before sitting at the table to have their breakfast.
She told them that she graduated from the most prestigious music college in the country, Maelor School of Music. This school was the most contended and the most prestigious school that a person could get into. And there was a reason for that as most people who graduated from there became nationwide or even worldwide famous musicians.
When the twins heard that their mother graduated from Maelor, they were extremely dumbfounded. They never imagined that their mother was so badass and awesome.
Then their mother proceeded to tell them how after she graduated she performed and several famous orchestras as she studied to become the conductor of her own orchestra. She told the girls that she traveled all over the world to perform. Kyo even showed them some pictures she had taken in her travels. The twins became even more shocked as they heard that.
They could only think how glamorous and adventurous her mother was in her youth. Her life sounded so awesome! The only thing they couldn't understand was how her mother would end up being a normal high school music teacher in Elffire City if her life started so awesomely.
It was then that their mother told them how she met their father. She was already in her thirties, and after working for so long, she already managed to conduct several orchestras, she even started composing her own symphonies. She achieved her dream after all the hard work she put into her career. All in all, she was at her peak. And it was in a performance afterparty that she met a handsome and rich guy that attracted her. They dated for a few months, but nothing too serious. It was after a few months of the relationship that she discovered she was pregnant, the man in question clearly stated that he didn't want to be a father. So, after a long process, they both decided that he would have a monthly fee to Koshikawa, and only this way he would be free from his responsibilities.
Koshikawa explained that a few months later, she gave birth to twin baby girls, and she suddenly decided to live a normal life with her daughters. It was then that she decided to abandon her glamorous life as a musician and move to a place where there was no famous orchestra established. With her super-qualified resume, she easily was able to get a post as the music teacher at the most qualified high school in Elffire City, Yukihime High School.
"That was how you two were born. When you two were 7 years old I received the news that your father had died in a car crash, but at least he did one last good thing in his life as he left part of his fortune to you two. You'll receive this money when you two complete 18 years old. I planned to tell you this when you two completed 18 years old, but it doesn't hurt telling you now." Koshikawa Kyo finished her explanation with a motherly smile.
The twin sisters were left agape as they tried to process what they just heard.
They didn't care much that their biological father died as they never cared much about him, they were only curious about who he was. But now knowing that he had passed away, they realized that they didn't care much.
The reason for that was that they had a mother that would give them the world if necessary.
But now knowing that their mother even gave up on her super successful career as a musician, they felt a mix of feelings.
