Chapter #01
Finally after very long day; early morning training, very boarding school day, which was full of my teacher scolding because of my laziness in approximately everything attending classes, doing my homework, answering Lessons exercises. Which are always answred by "hn" or "uhm I think I don't know". Then cleaning the class room, cleaning the gym, fighting with Sakuragi Hanamichi, training, fighting again and again with Sakuragi, training and finally cleaning the gym. 'uh uh really this life is very hard'
Actually I still have another part of my life, which I call it 'Home Life'. In this life I also do have so many tasks to do, as these tasks appears if my aunt returns to her home, or she is in it.
Actually I live in my aunt house, she is a single middle age women, who is a member in many national and international social institutes such as UNESCO. Thus she's usually abroad for attending these institutes many conferences. I my opinion I don't believe in any of it, I believe that they made such institutes and their useless conferences in order to anesthetizing the people only.
Any way I live with my aunt not because I lost my family. No! It's much simpler than that or must complicated, I don't know. It depend on the way that you look at it. My father mansion is located near to my aunt villa. In short, the relationship between me and my father is horrible. There is no understanding between us, since my mother death when I was six years old. Normally he married another women in less than two months of my mother death. Normally there were many wars between me and my dear father wife. All of that is not important actually all of it very normal. However, since my mother death I felt that my father really hates me. Since that time he refuse to talk to me, or even to look at my face. Unless if he want to scold me. He treats me as if I'm the one who caused my mother death. I always accuse my step mother for that rough and cruel dealing that I received from him. But soon I discovered that I was wrong, it's all my father problem not anyone else. So because me and my father horrible relationship and because we can't endure each other, my aunt suggests to let me live with her especially that she lives alone. Both I and my father accept it. By the way I just start to live with her this year. Any way that's a little bit long story I will tell it to you later. : |
Let's back to my daily activities. Now I'm returning to my home, or my aunt home. My aunt home is a modern Japanese villa. As soon as I open the villa door, I heard my aunt screaming. Off course she is screaming at me, since I'm the only one who live with her. I also know why; It because since three days I didn't clean the dishes, the living room and of course my room.
" Did you finally came, you little dirty rat!"
"…" as I take off my shoes.
" I just left the home for three days, and came back to find all of that MESS !"
"How are you my aunt?" as I enter the kitchen.
My aunt is a middle age women, with black eyes and long black hair, which always tied in the back. As she has a pale skin. Comparing her with Japanese women she considered as a tall women. In general my aunt is a beautiful women, who don't over care about her outer looking, which make her looks so normal and lovelier in my eyes.
She looked at me for moment and said " well you know how to distracted me". As she finally smile at me, and said "how are you my dear son?". Well I like her warm and calm smile at me. It's make feel warm and happy.
"I'm fine my aunt, I'm sorry for the mess. I didn't know that you will be back today. I thought that you will back after tomorrow."
Butting her arms in her waist, raising both of her eye brow and raising her voice "Well so you don't do any cleaning unless I'm home?!"
"No it's not like that but usually I back home tiredly, having my shower, made for me some ready noodles then went to living room studying and sleeping as well".
She looked at me with more passionate "My dear lovely son, didn't I told you while I'm traveling, go to 'your home', there are your servants who will make everything for you. And at least you won't be alone in home, which is not good for you my dear".
I shrugged and gave her a little glare and said nothing.
As she notice my reaction "You don't have to fight with your father every time you see him".
Raising my voice "My dear aunt how can I help you!"
"Dear have your shower, until I clean this messy kitchen, and I will order the sushi with the sea food that you like. How is that?".
I like her when she did her best to please me. "That's fine, but let me help you. You also seem tired"
"No my dear I will be fine, It's not that big messy after all" she said so with her warm smile.
Finally I left and went to have my shower. I thought 'how my mother and my step mother did not like her. As she is very warm person with a very warm smile, or just I found her like that because that I don't get any warm since my mother death. Any way why I'm thinking so much now, well I like her for whatever her relationship with my mother was'.
When I'm done I went down and find that my aunt ended cleaning both kitchen and living room. As she was sitting in the living room preparing the arrived order in the table, and waiting for me to start her dinner. I smile for her appreciating what she did for me. As she also welcomed me with her very warm smile "come on my prince let's have our delicious dinner".
In the middle of the living room there lay a kotatsu (Japanese traditional table, that is wooden table frame covered by a futon, or heavy blanket, upon which a table top sits.). At the side that overlooking on the home garden there lay a glass sliding door, that covered by a thick curtain. While the T.V lay on top of the table that has a cupboard under it, where it lay on front of the Kotatsu. There also a large cupboard that it's higher than me, and it's width approximately half the width of the room. That it's upper half has many shelves that full of books. While the lower half has two cupboards and between them a set of drawers. This large cupboard lay beside the room wooden sliding door, which is in front of the glass sliding door. I love the living room the most as I usually study on the Kotatsu and sleep under it, covering myself by it's heavy blanket.
I Sit down in the zabuton (a Japanese cushion for sitting) in front of her "Thank you my dear aunt". Both of us smile at each other and start our warmly and delicious dinner. As we talked to each other warmly. Well you can said that she is the one who almost start the speech and keep insistently asking me about how is my school life is going on. As I always give her vague answers or even try uselessly to change the subject. But she is very clever and keep insistently and at the same time friendly asking me and seeking for convincing answers from me. However I don't hate or get annoyed by her insistently talk. Because the way that she used when she talk to me is so warmly and friendly that let her get all the information that she wants to know. At the same time gives me all advises that she feels that I need them. I like it when I feel that she cares about me in that clever and effective way.
After that warm dinner I backed the remaining food, arrange the living room and clean the used dishes. As she went to have her shower. After I'm done I went to living room in order to study there, since I don't like to study at my room. Because I feel it's completely isolated and cold. That I don't even like to sleep in it. It's in the second floor and even my aunt room is in the second floor. However all of our activity is in the first floor, where the kitchen, living room and my aunt office lay in the first floor. Though even if my aunt is not in home, I feel like her spirit is still there which give me some warmness.
I heard her entering her office, and thought 'oh my God she is really very active person she just arrived today, cleaning up the kitchen. And now it's almost eleven, yet still she want to do her work not waiting for tomorrow.'
After a while I wake up from my nap, which was for almost half an hour. I went to my aunt office room to check her. I found her sleeping deeply at the ground as she was not sitting in her office, she was sitting in kotatsu. She was half covering with the table heavy blanket. On the table is her running laptop, there is a sound from it, which seems like chatting stuff. I pulled her gently a little bit put a pillow under her head and covered her welly. The chatting sound appear again, so I take a look at her laptop. Actually I want to shut it down, but I don't know why I suddenly felt so curiosity of what was this chatting about. Well it almost 12 am, so who want to chat at that time? I maximize the chatting window and try to figure out what is it about. Well unfortunately I found it little bit interesting; it was a social chatting group about some people complain their social problem, and others give them some suggested solutions.
Some complainer, where mothers need some suggested treatments for their teenaged sons. I just discovered that the teenage period of life is little bit difficult for both parents and sons. Anyway others where wives complain about their husbands and their husbands families treatments. Well some of them are really mean. I think if my mother still alive she also will complain about my father and his very big headed family. I still remember some of her complains about them. Others complains about their romantic life, which I found most of them silly and meaning less. Until now I didn't try romantic life, but I believe in romance; people are very attached to other, but some time the other side leave, betray or even do not care about the other side, which causes a psychological problem to that other side. So in my opinion the solution is simple; if the one who you most care about, do not care about you. Then simply leave without hurting your dignity while you are trying to beg them to remain. Well I'm not heartless man, and I know it's so hard to do so and to forget about your lovers. But I believe the most important thing in our life that we should care much about is our dignity not our emotional relationships. What is the use or the benefits of these emotional relationships if these relationships keep on hurting our dignity? Nothing in this life deserves to hurt our dignity for except freedom and honor. Well this is my grandfather's saying and I believe in it.
It almost 3:00am now, and I'm still waking up only reading these social problems and their suggested solutions. And keep on checking my aunt from time to time to ensure that she didn't wake up, because I don't want her to find out that I'm putting my nose in her work, I know she will be so angry. And when she gets angry she suddenly transformed to a monster.
I was going to leave but suddenly a new complainer start her conversation, which call herself lonely. Her complaining was:
Lonely: Hello I'm from a very rich family. Both my mother and father alive and I do have tow mean brothers who are elder than me. I'm the only sister they have. I hate all of them and I wish to leave this mean family, but I don't know where to go. Please help me, and don't tell me that "try to let my family care about me" No! I will never do so, I HATE ALL OF THEM!
'Oh my God! What's wrong with this girl' I waited for one to answer her, but no one answer her. Actually me and her where the only one who remain online on the group. I don't know why I felt so responsible about her. I check my aunt again, she was still sleeping. That girl suddenly start talking again.
Lonely: where are you why didn't you answer me yet!
I felt that she is crying and her situation is really dangerous. So I finally decided to write to her asking her to wait until tomorrow. Well I don't want to use my aunt account, and I don't want to be rush and give her a wrong advice that will affected her life badly. After a while she answered me "Do you really care? Or you only wants to run away from giving me some real advice. Or you don't want to tell me that my family is so useless and mean?"
'oh my God, she is so demanding'. I write " No! But do you know that it's 3:25am? Do you want me to be serious with you and give you a promising solution, or you only want me to tell you go ahead and run away from your family?"
After a while she write "I want you to be honest with me. And give me a promising solution."
'Thank God. She has little bit sanity after all'. I write to her "Great! Will you please wait for my solution until tomorrow? I promise you to give more of my time and listen to you until the end. But please don't be rush and don't do something that you will regret it for all of your life."
"I will. And I will be waiting for you until tomorrow. Please keep your promise and back to me tomorrow. I will be waiting for you"
"okay my dear. Calm down have a cup of warm milk and sleep well. Have a good night" I try to be passionate as much as I can. Because somehow I understand her feelings. Somehow her relationship with her family remind me of my family.
She answered "you too have a good night, and thank you for your time." And left.
After that I deleted all my messages and her messages. I just keep her first complaining message. I write down the group name, and her email. Just in case no one answer her, since I'm sure that my aunt dose not usually involve in chatting group conversations. I figured that out from previous conversations where she rarely involves with their conversations.
I finally went to sleep, thinking of that girl and her mean family as she called them. 'Tomorrow I will join that group after creating a fake account, just to see and to make sure that that girl problem will be solved.' I thought 'But what if her problem didn't solved? What would I do? I'm not social specialist. And I promise her to do my best to help her'. After thinking deeply 'well tomorrow I will see what will happened and according to that I will decide what to do'. At these thoughts I finally slept.
