Chapter 1
I sighed. Takakura hadn't get up from the bed since this morning. It looks like he caught a cold, very bad cold. I shuddered, remembered how Dr. Hardy told me before….
*Flashback
I looked out from window. Dr. Hardy came out from Takakura's house. I opened the door and practically ran toward him. It would be look very dramatic, if, just if I didn't step on a rock that hide it presence in the weed.
Dr. Hardy was staring at me. Sometimes I thank the God for make him didn't have sense of humor. If another person stood there, they will be burst out laughing until I want to hide like the rock, never ever come out again.
I was trying to not look differently, despite my blushing face, I was sure of it. Quickly I stood up and asked him. "How is he?"
He shook his head, holding his face. For me, he looked desperate.
I gasped.
No way! There is no way he leave me this soon!
Dr. Hardy looked at me like I had grown 2 heads. "Upps… It looks like I voice out my thought again, huh?" I asked him. Suddenly I realized this is not the time to be silly. Takakura was dead! What must I do?
Dr. Hardy coughed, made me paying attention to him. I spoke quickly, "No need for explanation, doctor. I know it wasn't your fault. It just hard to actually acknowledge he was already old. I knew this will happen soon or later." My voice broke. I had started to sobbed when Dr. Hardy talked, sounding very confused.
"What are you talking about, Jill?"
I shook my head. "Don't hide it Dr. Hardy, I could cope."
"No, I'm serious. What in earth did you talking about?"
I felt ridiculous, so I asked him, "Takakura is gone, right?"
He became silent. After sometime I realized I was wrong.
"He… didn't?"
*End of flashback
I didn't want to remember it. Once again, I thank the God because he made him didn't have sense of humor, and won't gossiped with another villager. My God, my face was still blushing!
Go back to the business. I read my schedule. Bought cow. Bought grass. Bought brush. Bought milker. Bought bell. Bought another cow. How could I do this while Takakura was sick! It wasn't just this! I also need some explanation!
I started to search for my pen. I guessed I will just change my schedule. But what the hell will I do if it I do not get animal? 2 days after today, winter will come and I won't have any work!
Someone knocked my door. I reached out the knob, opened the door when a body stumbled in.
That's it! First chapter… I guess I must work on my another story too. Suddenly I got another idea.. Let's pray I could update soon!
