Takumi's Mother....

Chapter 1 : The Meeting

It was a cold winter's nite. Bunta was drunk in the usual local sake house he like to go. It was closing time for the sake house and the store assistant help him out to send him home. Since Bunta Fujiwara was a regular customer, they have his contacts and Mogi San volunteered to send him home.

Mogi saw the familiar car parked out side the store. Trueno black white panda colored with Tofu Shop stickers on the side. Nice car, mogi thought. She searched for the keys in Bunta's pockets and pulled out a Toyota car key with some house keys. With the address she copied from the customer's database clench in her hands, she lifted the young man into his car and she took the steering wheel. The drive back to the Tofu Shop was smooth. This is one of the newest model in Japan, thought Mogi. Bunta must be well off with his job.

Reaching Bunta's home, Mogi was surprised to see the house was a mess! Unwashed clothes and dishes were everywhere. Cigg butts, newspapers on the table and the television was left on. She located Bunta's bedroom (upstairs) and put him on the bed.

Mogi headed downstairs and wanted to leave. Then she remembered, how is she gonna go back to her hostel now ? No cabs at this hour and it was too cold outside. She have to stay here till morning. One look at the room, gave her an idea. She can help clean up the place !
