Hi….
I'm sorry that I'm late cause the examinations are coming soon and I need to revise…
Anyway, here's the new part of the story.
Sing me a lullaby Sasori
"Chiyo-baa-sama, when is Haha-ue and Chichi-ue going to be home?" I asked while climbing up my little but warm bed.
"They are going on an additional assignment. They will surely be home in a little while. Don't agonize about them. Go to sleep now ,ok?" Chiyo-baa-sama whispered.
"Ok…"
Whenever I think back to that, I would always laugh at myself.
How can you be so dim-witted as to not deduce something was going on and you were kept in the dark?
Baka.
A few days later….
"Chiyo-baa-sama, is Haha-ue and Chichi-ue going to be back today?" I solicited intolerantly.
"…I'm sure that they will be back soon. Do your homework now and be a good boy. I'm confident that they will be coming home soon." Chiyo-baa-sama told me again.
"It has been a few weeks since Haha-ue and Chichi-ue left me in Chiyo-baa-sama's care…" I said delicately.
"Don't you like me to take care of your?" Chiyo-baa-sama said with a beam on her face.
An unnatural one.
"No! It's just that I want Haha-ue and Chichi-ue back soon…" I left my sentence hanging in mid air.
Chiyo-baa-sama sighed and carried on making her puppets while I sat down and started on my homework.
On that night, I heard something that I shouldn't have.
"So what are you going to do?" a voice sounded.
"Take care of him, of course." Another one said.
Wait.
That's….that's Chiyo-baa-sama's voice!
"You must let him know that his parents are dead. You can't-"
I didn't even finish listening to the speaker's voice and I was in a dilemma.
Haha-ue and Chichi-ue are …
Dead?
I rushed back to my room.
The following day…
I carried out my duties as usual.
I waited for Chiyo-baa-sama to tell me the facts, but the day did not come.
From that day onwards, when I was going to sleep, Chiyo-baa-sama would sing the lullaby which Haha-ue would sing to me every night when I sleep.
Because I said , " Sing me a lullaby".
