Countdown to Christmas – Day 11
"Miwako, are you ready?" Takagi shouted when he entered her apartment.
"Almost done." She said, closing her suitcase and taking her jacket. She put it on and went to her boyfriend. "I'm ready to go."
"Let me take your suitcase." He said, carrying it outside.
Sato followed him outside and sat down in his car.
Takagi put the suitcase into his cars' cargo bay, then sat down in the driver's seat. He started the engine and the both left Tokyo. "Does your mom know about our little trip?" he asked when he was driving on the highway on their way to Nagoya.
"Well, she knows that I'm away for the weekend. I told her I'm on a vocational training." She wasn't happy about lying to her, but she also didn't want her to know about her relationship with Wataru until she will finally meet him for the first time.
"Okay, we'll arrive in Nagoya at 2pm, if there is no traffic jam. My parents will expect us to arrive at 2.30pm, so we have a little buffer, if there is a traffic jam or we can have lunch somewhere before we meet them." Takagi explained while driving.
"Sounds like a plan. I'm really looking forward for it." She answered, smiling widely.
At 2:15pm, the both finally arrived at the house of Takagi's parents. They got out of the car, grabbed their luggage and rang the doorbell.
One moment later, the door opened and both, Mr. and Mrs. Takagi were standing in the doorway, greeting their son and his girlfriend, smiling widely.
"Hey mom, hey dad." Wataru said, hugging both of them. "This is Miwako Sato. She's my girlfriend of five months."
"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Takagi. Nice to meet you." Sato said, shaking the hand of them both.
"Come in, you don't have to stand in the doorway." Mr. Takagi said.
The young couple went inside, slipped out of their shoe and undressed their jackets.
"Wataru, you can bring your luggage into your room." Mrs. Takagi told him. "When you'll come back, we'll have some cake and a coffee or tea."
"Thank you, mom." Takagi said, taking their luggage and brought it into his room.
MIwako was following him. She was really excited to see his children's room. As she entered it, she was a little surprised to see that there were hanging a lot of wrestling posters, as well as a whole glass cabinet full of models of vintage cars. "You really had a nice room." She said.
"It's a little small, but it was okay." He answered as he put their luggage on the bed. "Let's go have some cake and coffee." He took her hand and both left the room.
They went into the kitchen, where the parents were already waiting for them. They sat down at the table and ate.
"So Miwako, we're so glad that we finally meet you. Wataru already told us so much about you. He is really blown away by you." Mrs. Takagi said.
Wataru was turning red by now.
"The pleasure is all mine. I'm really happy that we're finally meeting, since the relationship between Wataru and me is progressing really well." She answered, smirking at the moment when she saw that her boyfriend was blushing so much.
"What do you mean with progress exactly?" Mr. Takagi asked, knowing that his son would like to propose to her as soon as possible.
"Well, we're spending as much time as possible together, visiting each other after work or staying for the night. Such things." Miwako explained.
Mr. Takagi smiled at them. "No moving together or wedding planned yet?" he asked.
His son was shocked by his question. He got really nervous as he waited for Sato's answer to his question.
"Well, we'll see what the future will bring for us, but I can say that Wataru is making me really happy and I really feel loved by him." She said, blushing and smiling at Wataru.
He was staring at her with big eyes, blushing as well.
Mr. Takagi was now smiling widely at his son. She would take you a thousand times. He thought.
"Do you want another piece of cake or another cup of coffee?" Mrs. Takagi was interrupting the conversation.
When nobody wanted more, they put their plates and cups into the dishwasher and cleaned the table.
"So, did you plan anything for today?" Wataru asked his parents.
"We wanted to show Miwako the city and we booked a table in a restaurant for tonight." His mother answered.
