It was shiny beautiful day. But her mood was off. She had packed all her stuff and was now staring at the beautiful flowers of her small garden with teary eyes.
'Today is the last day and I'll never be here again', she thought and sighed.
"Ran", Sonoko was standing in front of her. "I was searching you. Why are you sitting here? Are you crying? Why? You should be happy. You are shifting to Tokyo. You will be out of this countryside village."
"But I love this place. I will miss my friends, my school. We met here remember. I have so many memories of my mom in this house. How can I leave this place? I have never been in Tokyo", Ran started crying.
"Oh Ran, stop crying. You know that I can't see you like this. Everything will be alright. Your grandpa needs you. I will come to meet you in vacations like I came here. By bullet train Tokyo is only 2 hours 25 minutes away from Osaka". Sonoko embraced her tightly. At last she stopped crying.
"You should enjoy your High School days. We will be in the first year of our new and romantic high school life and we will meet our prince charming", Sonoko said dreaming about her prince.
Ran and Sonoko were childhood friends. Sonoko leaved in Osaka but she always came to meet her grandmother in her vacations and there she met Ran. Ran was leaving with her father Mouri Kogoro in a small four rooms apartment which has small garden. Her father was a Police officer and her mother passed away in an accident when she was 10 years old. They were shifting to Tokyo for her grandfather- her mother's father- who was leaving alone and was sick. Her grandfather was one of the most famous lawyer. She never had been in Tokyo before. It was the first time that she will be outside of this countryside village.
Next day she was standing outside the train station. There were many people, many tall buildings, many hotels and shops which she had only seen in manga and TV. This was totally new world to her. After some time she was standing in front of a large gate of the large bungalow. There was large garden inside the gate and different types of flowers were blooming in that garden.
"Ran-chan", her grandfather was walking towards them. "I haven't seen you from last two years. You have grown beautiful just like your mother." Ran's face became red and she greeted her grandfather.
"Thank you Kogoro, just because you agreed to shift here I'll be able to leave with both of you. I'm very happy. Come inside. I will show you your new home and my office. "
This was the largest bungalow she had ever seen even greater than Sonoko's grandmother's bungalow. She greeted everyone who was working there. At last she came to her room. It was larger bedroom specially arranged for her. There were red color's curtains on every window as red was her favorite color. There was large bed in the middle of the room and there was study table, laptop bedsides her bed. She was very happy after seeing large balcony attached to her room. She can see every part of the garden from this balcony. This was her mother's room before she got married. She felt her mother in every corner of this room, she was finally happy after long time.
She arranged her cloths in her large cupboard then she kept her cute teddy bears on bed which were gifted by Sonoko. Then she kept her all photo frames and her trophies on wall shelves.
"Finally everything is arranged. Now I can take one photo and sent it to Sonoko". After chatting with Sonoko she left for having dinner with her small family.
During dinner time they talked about lots of things- Ran's primary school, her middle school, her friends, their favorite dishes, favorite places. Her grandpa was looking very happy.
"Ran-chan tomorrow I will show you different places and also we can go to the shopping. You have to buy stuff for your new high school. Tomorrow onwards your father will be busy with his work." Her grandpa said excitedly.
"Ok then I will be ready tomorrow. Thank you for dinner. I'm very tired now so can I go now? We'll talk tomorrow ojiisan. Good night otousan, Good night ojiisan", then she left to her room.
Next morning they visited lots of places, they did shopping for Ran. Ran bought lots of suit for her father and grandpa (of course with her father's money) . She had a lot of fun. While returning home they passed Teitan High school. "Ran , this is your high school. This is one of the best high school in Tokyo. Your mom and I studied here. We fall in love with each other and get married after graduation. We have lots of memories here. So we always thought that you should study in Teitan Hign School. And also this high school has karate club. But your classes have already started. I hope you will be ok".
"I will be ok otousan. It has been only two weeks."
"Kogoro don't worry. Our Ran is a tough girl. She will be fine. She will get lots of friends there", her grandpa said encouragingly.
The day was finally over. Ran prepared everything for her first day of High School. She was little nervous about her first day so she chatted with Sonoko for some time. Finally she fall asleep while thinking about the beginning of her new world.
