"She is my mother."
At this time, Takasago Makoto's expression became extremely calm: "And Bim is my younger brother."
Everyone looked at this man with curiosity.
Everyone is curious.
Especially, for someone like Takasago Makoto.
"My father's name is Takasago Kijiro. He is an architect. Forty years ago, he was invited to the Philippines because he wanted to build a cemetery in Manila."
Makoto Takasago said slowly: "My father is an excellent architect. When building the Manila Cemetery, he made many substantive suggestions. Therefore, he received great attention from the local government."
It can be seen that when talking about his father, Takasago Makoto's tone is full of respect:
"On the eve of the completion of the Manila Cemetery, my father's mission was also completed. Therefore, he decided to take advantage of this rare opportunity to take a good look at the country of the Philippines.
In order to express his gratitude to him, William Howard Taft, the civilian governor of the United States in the Philippines, issued a special note for him, requiring all the cities in the Philippines he passed through to provide him with warm hospitality.
The second stop in the Philippines that my father passed through was Sumalaga. Because of his relationship with the governor, Sumalaga held a welcome ceremony for him. Among those present at the time was Sulote, the governor of the Aratero family.
After the banquet, Surote warmly invited my father to be a guest at the Alatro family, and my father happily accepted the invitation, and visited the Alatro family the next day..."
Takasago Makoto and Amara took turns and told a story together.
All stories start from this visit.
There, Takasago Kijiro met Surote's new wife Amara.
The so-called love at first sight probably refers to them.
Like all love stories, two people fall in love and quickly break through all taboos.
Later, Amara became pregnant.
After all, paper can't cover up the fire, and the affair between the two people was soon discovered by Sulote.
Sulote was angry and anxious.
But he didn't dare to act rashly.
The first is the face problem of the Alatro family, which will bring shame to the entire family.
The second question is because Takasago Kijiro is a distinguished guest of the Americans.
Not long ago, under the command of the U.S. Military Governor in the Philippines, Arthur MacArthur, the U.S. military brutally suppressed the uprising in the Philippines.
Americans are already the kings of the Philippines.
If the Aratero family wants to survive and grow in the Philippines, the Americans will undoubtedly have to overcome the hurdle.
Surote made a decision that even he couldn't believe:
Turning a blind eye to Takasago Kijiro and Amara's sex.
But this is a huge blow to a man's dignity.
Surote fell ill.
Very sick.
When Amara was about to give birth, an accident happened.
The Takasago family urgently summoned Takasago Kijiro to return home immediately, and his tone was very stern.
Takasago Kijiro never dared to disobey his father's orders. Although he was reluctant, he still had to go back.
But he promised Amara that he would take care of the domestic affairs and would be back soon.
Amala sent her lover away in tears.
Soon, the love child of Takasago Kijiro and Amara was born.
This child is Bim.
When Takasago Kijiro was around, Sulot didn't dare to do anything, but when he left, Sulot felt that this baby was a shame that he could never wash away in his life.
He secretly sent someone to give Bhim away. However, it was announced to the outside world that Zeshu and Amara's "child" unfortunately died young.
He didn't dare to kill the child, because if Takasago Kijiro really came back one day, he would still have room for maneuver.
Amara felt like the whole sky had collapsed.
Fortunately, the slave who gave the baby away respected his mistress.
So after much hesitation, he told Amala the whereabouts of the child and advised her not to act rashly.
Amara knew it too.
She could only choose to endure it silently.
But day by day passed, and Takasago Kijiro never came back.
Hearing this, Meng Shaoyuan interrupted: "Amala, did Takasago Kijiro tell you that when the banana tree grows up and the banana trees mature, he will come back?"
"You, how did you know?" Amara's eyes were filled with surprise.
Yes, that's what Takasago Kijiro said to her when he left.
Meng Shaoyuan did not answer: "You continue."
Sulote died of illness not long after.
Amara's chance has come.
She quietly found her child, Bim, and gave the adopters of Beam's family a large sum of money, asking them to keep it strictly confidential.
The most important thing she thought she had done was to hire a Japanese teacher for Bim.
Therefore, Bhim can speak fluent Japanese.
However, until Bim grew up and the banana trees were harvested round after round, Amara did not wait for Takasago Kijiro to come back.
"It's not that my father doesn't want to come back, it's just that he really has no way to come back."
This time, it was Takasago Makoto's turn to say: "As soon as he returned to China, my father was forcibly ordered by my grandfather to get married and marry a Japanese wife, my mother. My father never dared to disobey any of my grandfather's orders.
Later, he told me that even after getting married, he was still thinking about you mother and son. He was always looking for an opportunity to return to the Philippines.
However, at this time, the empire passed the "Imperial Defense Policy", and his father was drafted into the army and participated in the construction of the national defense process. He had no chance to leave Japan.
My mother died very young, and I have never experienced my mother's love. When I grew up and my grandfather passed away, my father finally told me about it. After hearing this, I was not shocked. On the contrary, I was very relieved that I still have a relative in the distant Philippines.
My father told me that if there is a chance, I must find you mother and son, and I must treat you well. Just like my father, I have regarded my father as my faith all my life, and I will never disobey anything my father asks me to do.
Later, my father also passed away. Before he died, he was always reading your names. The way he looked at me, I knew what he wanted to say. I promised him that no matter how difficult it is, I will find you.
After the war broke out, the organization sent people to the Philippines. I immediately saw the opportunity, so I was the first to sign up, and tried every means to get me to Sumalaga. I finally had the opportunity to fulfill my father's last wish. "
Therefore, on that day, he arrived at the Aratero family.
He even summoned everyone.
Before leaving, he said that the banana trees outside were really big. When the bananas are ripe, he will come again.
This is for Amara alone.
When Amara heard this, she knew that the person she was waiting for finally had news.
Although, the person in front of me is not Takasago Kijiro himself!
