Chapter 1 : The Order

Young Takumi is 13 years old this year. He had been helping the father making Tofu for a living since very young. He stayed in the Tofu shop owned by his father, just the 2 of them. Takumi's mother had passed away when Takumi was born. Takumi's father told him when he was young.Since then, he never talked about his mother.

I am home... Shouted Takumi at the door of the shop when he reached home from school. He put away his shoes and went up stairs to change. A moment later, he came into the kitchen to help his father wash the tofu containers and blending Soya Beans.

Takumi... Bunta said while wiping his hands dry on a towel. Today, I will start to teach you to drive. You will have to send Tofu for me after you have master driving.

father... Drive ? I am wau underage for a license... how...

Listen to me, Bunta cut in. You will deliver the Tofu early in the morning. That way, you won't have any problems with authorities. The reason I ask you to do so is because I need more time to make more tofu to support our higher living cost. You are now in Secondary School. Your school fees and books are more expensive now. If you can drive and send the tofu to our customers, I can stay in the shop to make more to sell in the morning. Since business is doing good, we need more products to sell. You understand.

Bunta step out of the kitchen for a smoke outside the shop.

Takumi continue washing the containers witout saying anything. He was thinking.. Driving ? Early in the morning ? But father was right. My school fees are getting higher. With the current economy crisis, we need more money to survive.. Only if father can stop smoking and drinking. We would be better off..
