“Father, what good news you were saying that you have and only can tell when we are at home.” A beautiful young woman wearing Doctor attire and she was standing in front of a middle-aged man who was sitting in the armchair and smiling like a little kid who got a very tasty candy in his hand.

.....

“Hahahaha! Haruko dear, this is very great news for us.” The middle-aged man laughed hearing his daughter’s question, making her more curious.

“What is it? Father,” Haruko glared at his father who was talking her into circles.

“Ahem!” Seeing that his daughter was not amusing his jokes he cleared his throat and took a serious look.

The middle-aged man is Dr Hirono Yugami, and Haruko Yugami is his only daughter.

“Do you know what happened 10 years ago and what kind of changes it caused in our peaceful society!” Dr Hirono asked his daughter, remembering the scene he witnessed that year.

“Yes, if I remember correctly then that year 40 to 50 children went missing and it caused quite an uproar at times, right!” Haruko replied, thinking back and how this is related to what she is asking her father.

“You are right, dear. But you should know that those children came back 3 three years later, and were taken by the government for medical therapy and mental counselling, and some other purposes.” Dr Hirono nodded his head in agreement and reminded her what happened after that year.

“Hmmn! You are saying that this was a farce set up by the government to confuse the public so they can hide whatever that was under the pretence, so how did you know about it!” Haruko is a smart woman so with just a few words she understood what her father wanted to tell her.

“Hmmn! Dear, you don’t have to think too much but you should know the reason our family has accumulated wealth and status in these ten years can amount to our last 50 years of hard work.” Dr Hirono expressed with excitement as he had felt the same opportunity during his last visit to Osaka.

The Yugami family has a very large medical research centre where most of their wealth gets spent. Otherwise, the Yugami family might have been a trillionaire family. In these ten years, they have found many unknown materials like herbs which look weird and some don’t even have a proper shape, there are even those that look like potatoes etc.

So using billions of wealth, they research these and after finding the uses they sell them at sky-high prices, and that is how they came to realise that there exists a supernatural world.

“Do you mean father, that everything is related to what happened ten years ago!” Haruko confirms her thoughts, Haruko only knows surface information but not the core otherwise, she wouldn’t have asked these questions.

“That’s what I am saying, our family might have a hundred-year-old heritage but we can never leave the possibility that someone else isn’t better than us.” Dr Hirono said with emotion as he witnessed medicines which are more potent than anything they can ever hope to produce, much less work like a miracle.

“That’s what I have been saying for the last two years, but grandpa has strong pride and never wanted to face it,” Haruko said with a blank expression then rolled her eyes at her father as she remembered her grandpa or even her father never took her word seriously.

The Yugami family is the top family and a pillar of the country, so the family is very big and has 100s of members, and 1000s of servants.

The relationship between members is non-existence, so Dr Hirono and Haruko have only each other as a family. Haruko’s mother died in an accident which was a scheme to kill Dr Hirono but that day instead of him, the crisis has befallen Haruko’s mother so Dr Hirono has a deep hatred for the killer and no real feeling for any member.

“Well! Now that I know the miracle does exist then there are chances for my friend’s daughter to be cured.” Dr Hirono felt embarrassed by his daughter’s words so he changed the topic to her patience.

“Father, are you sure you have a solution for her?” Haruko felt happy for her patient who is also her childhood friend. Haruko lost contact with her after they graduated from high school.

“Yes, before I was just hopeful but now I fully believed them after I researched this elixir!” Dr Hirono said and took a small wooden box from the suitcase beside him and opened It slowly to reveal a glass vial filled with white and blue liquid inside.

“So what did you find out after your research? Father!” Haruko looked at the elixir but was not able to see what was so special about it and she can only tell that this elixir is beautiful, and it is a great thing for our bodies after taking a whiff of its fragrance.

“No... I was not able to find a thing from it!” Dr Hirono shook his head in denial but he still had a smile on his face.

“What..you mean to say that you didn’t even manage to identify not even one thing from it.” Haruko felt she was mishearing but again getting the same reply she was stunned.

You had to know that Haruko has confidence in her father and that there are not many things in the world related to medicine that he can’t identify so hearing him say he got nothing would be shocking for her.

“That’s one of the reasons I believe them that your friend might get cured.” Dr Hirono said to ease her daughter’s worry.

Haruko is always ahead of her peers and she has one-of-a-kind beauty so mostly because of envy and jealousy others had for her, she wasn’t able to make female friends.

And men just wanted a piece of her so she doesn’t even want to bother with them.

After that Haruko got to know that her father had talked with the person who provided the miracle medics, and he got a positive response that what they need will be provided to them in the next week.

.....

Haruko felt relieved so she came to her room to rest, for the last week because her friend’s condition has been unstable so she wasn’t able to rest properly and only yesterday her friend’s condition became stable after taking the elixir which gave them enough time to find the cure.

“Thank god, father was able to find the cure otherwise, I might have lost my only friend whom I can call a sister.” Haruko prayed and looked at the stars from the window of her room.

“I hope you will get up soon so I can tell how my life has been half-complete without you around me, Sister Yamini.” Haruko lay on the bed as the fatigue which had accumulated from the last week made her drowsy soon. She mumbled to herself looking at the photo frame of her friend and her together hugging each other then she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
