A big sorry to update it so long. I've been in a busy week. But, thanks for the comments and looking forward this story. So, here's the new chapter.
CHAPTER 3
A loud voice of a crying little girl can be heard from a class in an elite kindergarten. The little girl crying out loud and cover her eyes with her hands.
Then the teacher walk approaching her. “Hikari, why are you crying?” said the teacher softly .
The girl move her hands as she heard her teacher speaking. “He broke my crayon!” The girl pointed at a little boy who sits near her innocently.
The teacher look over the boy and give him a ‘why?’ face. The boy just lift his shoulders pretending that he doesn’t know anything. Looking at the boy’s reaction, the girl cries again.
“Sshh… don’t cry..” the teacher pats her shoulder, then she glares again at the boys. “Takahashi-kun, is that right?”
“I didn’t mean to” he finally says and pouts.
The teacher sighs. “Yes, I understand. But you can apologize to Hikari.”
“Why should I? I told her that I will pay for it. I can buy her a new one.” The boy said, trying to ignore what the teacher asked.
“Yes you can buy her a new one. But at least you apologize to her. Come on..”
“I won’t!” he widened his eyes in angry.
“Takahashi!!” the teacher says in harsh manner.
“I don’t care!” the boy throws the broken crayon and leaves them. He walks away and join the other children. “Geez, girls are horrible!”
That day seems like terrible for the little Takahashi Kai. His father’s office driver picks him up from school. He’s really in a bad mood. Looking at this condition, the driver asks him when they are in the car on their way home.
“Young master, why are you look so sad?”
“…………” looking at the window.
The driver smiles looking at his young master’s arrogant head. “Something bad happened at school?”
“……………” Kai still ignores him.
Looking at his behavior, he driver just sighs and smiles. It’s common to see his young master like this. Then when they reach Takahashi’s residence, the driver open the car door. Kai get out from the car and walks towards the main door where a maid is standing waiting for him.
“Okaeri..” greets the maid to Kai, but he ignores her. He just give his bag to the maid and walking straight inside the house. The maid follows Kai who walks towards the dining room.
Kai sits down on the chair of the dining room. “Where’s my lunch?”
“Ah, young master. It’s better if you change your clothes first” said the maid.
“But I’m hungry” said Kai harshly.
The maid sighs. “Okay, but wash your hands first. Come here...” the maid leads Kai to the sink.
While washing his hands, Kai can see through the window. There is a pick-up truck that contains a lot of goods. Some people are working on it by pick up the goods inside MG’s flat. But he can’t se MG there.
“Who are they?” ask Kai to the maid.
“Ah, MG takes his family to move here.” Said the maid. “Now he will work here full time, young master. His wife will help me to handle this house too.”
The little Takahashi doesn’t comment, he sits down again and starts to eat his lunch whle the maid prepares his orange juice.
“Here’s your juice…” the maid offer him a glass of orange juice.
Kai takes it and drink the juice. “Add some ice!” he frowns.
“Ah, o-okay!” the maid takes the glass back worriedly.
“Don’t too much!” he said.
The maid just can sighs. Sometimes, this job is so tiring for her. To handle the house is not easy. She has to wash the clothes, the dishes, clean and make up the house, cooking, and the hardest thing is to take care of her stubborn young master. It’s relieving that MG brings his wife to live there. At least, there’s another person to help her handle the house. Besides, she heard that MG’s wife is good at cooking, they also have a child. She thinks that maybe MG’s wife can handle the young master too. Yes, she hopes so.
----------------------------------
Acchan has her own room in the second floor of the flat while her parents living in the bigger room on the first floor. Her father prepared it for her. Acchan really happy to have her own room. It’s a quite little simple room with a little bathroom inside. But the best part of the room is a windows facing the main house which Acchan think that the house is more looks like a castle.
In the evening, MG is asked to meet his master’s family to introduce them his wife and daughter. They meet them near the swimming pool where Takahashi family are having a relax time and drinking some tea. There, Acchan can see a boy sitting on the floor near the pool, playing with his robots. But she can’t see him clearly cause his back is facing her.
“Good evening, Mr.Takahashi” MG bows to his master.
“Ah, MG come here. Join with us” said Mr.Takahashi.
“Here it is, our new neighbour” said Mrs.Takahashi jokingly.
“This is my wife” MG introduce his wife. “and this is my daughter.”
Mrs. Takahashi smiles widely by seeing Acchan. Having a daughter is her dream all this time, since they had Kai, they always want another child, a little girl as Kai’s sister. “Who is your name?”
“My name is Maeda Atsuko. Nice to meet you” Acchan smiles bows to them. Hearing Acchan’s voice, the little Kai turn around take a look at them. There he saw a little girl standing between MG and a woman who is in his thought,maybe she’s MG’s wife.
“Ahh, so cute!” said Mrs.Takahashi as she saw Acchan’s cute smile.
“Kai, come here. Greet MG’s family” Kai’s dad asks him. But it seems like Kai ignores what his daddy said. He turn around again and continue to play with his robots.
“How old are you?” Kai’s dad asks Acchan.
“I’m 5 years old.” Acchan answers.
“Ah, so you’re in kindergarten now, right?”
Acchan nods.
“It must be hard for her moving to a new school, right?” Mr.Takahashii said to MG.
“It’s no problem, Sir. Acchan just started her school for 2 weeks. I think she can adjust herself in the new school. I will send her to the nearest kindergarten, Sir.”
“Hmm.. okay. That’s good.” Mr.Takahashi said, then he look at his son. “Kai, you can play together with her. Atsuko is the same age as you. ”
Kai turn around with the cool face. He lift his shoulders. “I don’t play with girl!” the Kai turn around again and continue playing. “Girls are horrible” he mumbles.
Acchan look at Kai. She never thought that Takahashi is that cold. She thought that Takahashi is nice and kind. But it’s out of what she imagined before.
“Ahahaha… Kids. Always acts strangely” Mrs. Takahashi laughs awkwardly.
“Young master is in the kindergarten too?” MG’s wife asks.
“Yes, he just starts the school three weeks ago.” Mrs. Takahashi said.
That evening, both families have a nice chatting near the swimming pool during the tea. Except Kai, who is busy with his toys and doesn’t care of the meeting. There, Acchan only sits down and look at Kai strangely. She never thought that she will live in this Takahashi residence, and she never thought that Takahashi has a boy who is same age as her but ignored to play or even introduce each other with her. Acchan has no friend at school since she only spent 2 weeks at school then leave it. She thought that little Takahashi could be her first friend but she wrong.
The next day, MG’s wife help the maid to work and handle the house. As what the maid expected, MG’s wife agree to handle theyoung master and cooking. Fortunately, Acchan is so kind to let her mom leaving her sometimes, just to handle the stubborn young master.
“Kai, go to bed. It’s late of night” Kai’s mom said fron the doorway of Kai’s room. Kai is busy playing his video game.
“Tomorrow is Sunday” he said shortly.
“But still, you have to go to sleep. It’s not good to stay until midnight playing game.”
“I’m not sleepy, mom. I’ll never go to sleep.” Kai answers his mother, not looking at her at all.
Then MG’s wife coming and asking “Can I help you, Mam?”
“He don’t want to go sleep. I don’t know how to handle him anymore…”
“Oh… Let me try, Mam”
“Sure, good luck. If he ignores you, just leave him. He will get sleepy too, but I don’t know when..” Kai’s mom is already hopeless to handle him. So she back to her room and sleep. Besides, that day Mr. and Mrs. Takahashi has a tiring day of working.
MG’s wife come inside Kai’s room and sits by Kai’s side. “Hey, what are you playing? Looks like very fun…” she peek of what on the screen.
“Oh, Kamen Rider. You like it, huh?” she asks. Kai doesn’t respond.
“I like Kamen Rider too. He’s my favorite superhero.” MG’s wife continues.
Kai’s take a look at her. “Really?”
“Yes, I like superhero stories… I have a lot of stories about superheroes. You wanna hear it?”
Kai nods. “Yeah, tell me.”
“Hmm.. but before that, do you wanna wear your pajama first? You have some pajamas with Kamen Rider pictures, right?”
Kai nods. “Yes, I have 2 pajamas with Kamen Rider pictures on it. White and blue.”
“Ah, so you want to wear the white one or the blue one?”
“The blue one!”
“Great! That’s my favorite color!” MG’s wife said cheerfully. She takes Kai’s pajamas and help him to change his clothes. Kai follows her order insensibly. Wearing his pajama, brush his teeth, wash his hands and feet, and go to bed.
“So, Maeda-san, what’s the story?” Kai said, sitting on the bed.
“Well, I have a lo of story but maybe Hercules is going to be cool.”
MG’s wife tells him the story, and she finds that Kai has already fall asleep before the story is ended. Then she covers Kai’s body with the blanket and turn the lights off. She quickly go back to her flat. She go upstairs to check out if Acchan has already sleeping or not.
“Mom?” Acchan said while her mom open her door.
“Acchan, you haven’t sleeping yet?” she walk approach her daughter.
Acchan wakes up and sits. “I can’t sleep, so I’m waiting for you… Where have you been?”
“Young master didn’t want to go to bed. He was busy with his video game. I have to handle him first.” She sits on the bed and get Acchan on her embrace. She slowly strokes Acchan’s hair.
“Mom…” Acchan speaks softly.
“That young Takahashi is not so friendly. He event looks like an arrogant.”
Her mom chuckles. “Acchan, young master is kind too. He just haven’t show it yet. It may caused by the social life, or maybe by his habit. But remember, everyone has their good side.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes. Deep inside their heart, everyone is a kind person. So is young master. Maybe one day he will show his kindness” her mom said. Acchan just nods and finally fall asleep.
