"Ta-dai-e-ma!" I said as I reached home, (it means 'I'm home'). Natalie stays with me at our home. Her parents were still in Italy for business reasons, but the parting never took them apart. Natalie's parents were also best friends with my parents, which are why we don't mind staying with each other. But since Natalie moved in with us, my family has started to talk in English, just to make sure Natalie feels just like home. Just as we stepped in, my younger sister, just turned 19 appeared from the corner with a panicked look.
"You're finally back! I've been trying to call you," Mitzuhara said between sobs. "W…what? Why? What happened? Why are you crying?" I asked her worriedly. "Daddy… he's… he's," she whispered back. "Why? What's wrong with daddy?" I asked her as my heart started to pump madly. "Did you call me sweetie?" my father, Tanaka, said as he appeared from the hall room. I just stared confusedly at him. "That'll be 855," Mitzuhara whispered as she wrote down the date, time and the person she just tricked. Mitzuhara was popular for her practical jokes. Since she was 12, she has been doing it and recording it into her notebook. Lucky for me, I wasn't the only one she's been doing it on. "Miyu, you're finally back, how was the trip?" he asked. "It was fine," I told him, making sure I did not remind him of what happened. "I'll head up to the room first," Natalie said as she walked up the stairs. "I'm kind of tired, I better go too," I quickly told my father. "Miyuki Seishiro! Just wait right there!" shouted my mother, Aoi. "Oh dear…" I whispered to myself. "We allow you to go to London for Educational purposes and you ended up going out with English boys?" she asked disappointedly. I just kept silent. "What do you have to say for yourself?" she told me. "Let it go Aoi-san, she's just back from a long trip, let her rest okay?" my dad said. "What? You're siding her now? You should be ashamed too, being the head of the Seishiro family," my mom fought back. "Go up now Miyuki-chan, I'll handle this," he whispered to me with a wink. I thanked him and headed up as mother continued to argue with dad. I've loved my dad for who he is, he's always been so protective of us, yet he knows when to give us a break and enough freedom to live a joyful life. Mother on the other hand is way too protective over us; this is what happens when she happens to be in one of the most respectful families in Japan.
I headed upstairs with my bags and went into my room. "They're arguing about us huh?" Natalie asked. "Yeah… don't worry, dad will handle it," I told her as I settled my bags by the closet. I sat on the cushion next to Natalie. "Awkward isn't it? We're staring at the posters of Westlife whom we just met a few days ago," Natalie told me. "Yeah… wanna take it down?" I asked her. "Please…" she whispered back and both of us started taking down the posters of Westlife that we had all over the room. It WAS really weird, having posters of the person who you just met a day ago sticking on the wall. Just when you thought they were different than normal people, they turned out to be just the same, yet I'm still able to fall in love with him, Shane.
