**back to the story**
A month has been passed. The couple decided to get an admission for Ichiro in a play school. Usually Ichiro has a fond of staying in his granny's (Ayuzawa's mention); so the kindergarten is kind of foreign to him. At first it was hard to convince him but he is not a spoiled child. Usui told him to play with other children until his sister come. He could never forget the crying face Ichiro made the first day of school. It's hard for him to say good bye but he can't let his emotion take over Ichiro's learning stage. He has to learn so many things.
Ichiro obeys his mom and dad genuinely. He did cry in the first day of school but for a little period of time. It is a routine now that Usui escort his son to his play school and picks him up after the school ends. They exchange kisses, hugs at the start of school as well as at the end of school until on a very usual day.
"Wake up honey! It's time to go to school." Misaki pulled the blanket away from the little boy's face. Now Ichiro has its own room which is filled with toys, video games. He is sleeping soundly on his baby bed.
"C'mon sleepy head wake up!" She tried to tickle him but he didn't even stir a bit. She worriedly checked his forehead for any sign of fever, while doing this she looked at his little eyes opened but then was shut immediately. The temperature in his forehead is normal. She got the message. Every day it's Ichiro who always greeted Misaki and Takumi in the morning but today he's still in bed.
Misaki decided to go through his plan. She sat at the edge of the bed. "Okay then. I was thinking of giving this to you but now I've to eat it alone." She said loud observing the chocolate bar in her hand.
Ichiro got up quickly and hugged Misaki tight. "Let's shale mommy," He said swinging on Misaki's back.
"Naughty monster!" Misaki playfully slapped his hands. Ichiro laughed and jumped on the bed.
"Mommy I don't want to go." He said trying to snatch the chocolate Misaki was holding in her back.
"But why? You have so many friends there. You said Mikomi is your friend now." Misaki stopped his hand and brought him to her lap. Ichiro made the puppy dog face.
"Oh…don't make that famous daddy face; now, be a good boy," She picked him up. "-and let's take a bath."
"Chocolate?" He asked.
"Sure! I'll give it to you." She smiled and ruffled his hair.
"Yippeee…" Ichiro jumped.
They both went to take a bath while the chocolate bar was on Ichiro's bed, long forgotten.
"Misaki, I've a meeting to attain. Can you escort Junior to his school?" Usui said wearing his coat.
"Sure!" Misaki packed the Tiffin for Ichiro in his bag. "You know I don't like to leave him in the school." She said observing Ichiro's small luxury bag.
Usui came to her side and placed his hands above her. "Me too. It's hard to bid him bye in school." They both kept silent for some time. "But it's for his best." After sometime they both said in unison.
Misaki smiled so as Usui. "And Mrs. Usui, pick him up after school. I'll be late today." He said adjusting his tie.
"Is everything okay? What meeting?" Misaki asked helping him with the tie.
"The clients are getting loosen up day by day. I've to schedule everything again." He replied.
"Be back as soon as possible." Misaki said and handed him his hanky.
"Don't worry wifeee, if you say then I won't-"
"Shut up!" Misaki cut him off.
"Where is Junior? I didn't hear his voice from morning." Usui searched for his son.
"He and his drama; he doesn't want to go to school today. Must be hiding somewhere," Misaki said retrieving her bag ready for her office.
Usui got a glimpse of blond hair under the kitchen dining. Usui pocked Misaki and directed her to look where Ichiro was hiding.
"If we catch him, he will get hit his head." Usui said to Misaki's ear.
"I've a plan." Misaki winked at him and tucked him to the door.
"Looks like we have to go," She looked at the dining sideway. "Ichiro is big enough now. He can stay at home. ALONE." She intentionally said to Usui with a high pitched tone.
When they are about to go, Ichiro slowly made his way to them. "I want to go too." He said flashing a big smile.
Usui picked Ichiro up and kissed him on the cheek. "My brave boy, we'll play tonight ok."
"Plomise daddy?" He said eyes sparkled with joy.
"Promise." Usui said blinking his eye. "Now give daddy a good bye kissi."
Ichiro kissed his awaiting cheek While Misaki was enjoying the sight before her. She was pleased by looking at the bond between father and son. Her family is complete.
Usui looked Misaki dazing. "And mommy, you too." He said breaking Misaki's thought. She pecked both Usui and Ichiro. "Now let's go."
At Ichiro's school:
"Bye mommy!" Ichiro waved his small hand.
"Bye honey. Be a good boy okay." She handed Ichiro to Miss Shijeki, his teacher. She gave a flying kiss and drove away to her office.
At Usui's office:
"Dismissed!" After Usui finished his meeting he sat down on his seat.
"Sir, I collected every file." His secretary said bowing.
"Good. Bring the files here. I'll check it." He said.
"S…Sir!" The secretary's eyes got big. "It's about 200 files sir."
"Will do." He replied.
"Right away sir."
Usui dialed the familiar number. After the third ring Misaki picked up the phone. "Hay, lunch?" She asked.
"Not yet, just finished the meeting." He replied.
"Don't stress too much."
"Hmm…okay. How was Junior when you leave him at school?" He asked.
"He is okay. He is our son of course." Misaki replied smiling.
"I wish if I can talk to him," Usui said rolling a paper weight.
"You know that will distract him. And besides, it's against their rule." She said.
"Yeah…bye! Take your lunch in time." He said.
"You too." Misaki replied before she hung up.
"Here is the files sir!"
Usui nodded and start flipping through pages. "Set the next meeting at 2:15pm." He said to his secretary.
"Okay sir!"
At Ichiro's school:
The little Usui was making building blocks. He makes everything in no time. So he gets bore. The teachers look at him in amazement. They try their best to keep him busy with anything.
It's lunch time. Children after finished their lunch by the help of teachers (some of them can eat by themselves) are gone to play in the play ground. Ichiro kicked a ball far behind a bush. Mikomi made a crying face. "Don't wolly," He then ran to the bush.
Another ball hit Mikomi's foot and she went to play with that ball.
While another boy, a little younger than Ichiro, loose the tap which was near the flowering plants. They all cheered with the intersperse water. Miss Shijeki came and brought all the children to a dry place. While another teacher Mr. Ikuto went to tighten the tap and then helped Miss Shijeki with the children.
On the other hand Ichiro was looking for the ball behind the bushes where a figure was standing, with his back resting on a tree trunk. He turned to Ichiro and said "Hello!"
Ichiro didn't reply and searched for the ball.
"Are you looking for this?" The man said holding out the ball.
Ichiro looked at the ball and nodded. He held out his small hand silently saying him to give him the ball.
"But don't you want this?" The man showed him a large packet of chocolate.
Ichiro's eyes got big. When he tried to reach the chocolate, he remembered what Misaki says to him. 'Don't talk to strangers.'
He backed away a little.
"Don't afraid. Your dad told me to give it to you." The man said inching closer to the little boy.
Ichiro blinked his small eyes with joy. "Daddy!" He exclaimed.
"Yes!" The man replied smiling.
Ichiro thought about the chocolate his mom was talking about this morning. He smiled thinking his mom sent this man to give it to him. Then he held out his hand.
"Aaa…aa…aa…your mom is waiting for you in the park." He said to the little boy keeping his chocolate in his pocket.
Ichiro furrowed his brows. "Who are you?"
"Uncle Hiro." The man replied. "A surprise for you." He whispered. "Let's go!"
Before he goes with that man Ichiro thought to let know his teacher. "Teachel-"
"Shhh! It's a surprise." The man said and picked him up and gave him the chocolate.
"Ok everyone, now keep silence." Miss Shijeki gathered everyone at class. "I'm going to tell a story."
All the childen kept silent except few one while Mikomi was looking outside.
"Mikomi dear, what are you looking at?" Miss Shijeki came to her and asked.
"Ichilo…" She said looking at her.
"Oh your friend Ichiro, where is that little superman?" Miss Shijeki looked around the class among the children.
"Bush..." Mikomi replied.
Shijeki got panicked. "What is he doing there?" She told another teacher to look after the children and ran off to the bushes.
"Hello M…Mrs. Usui," Shijeki called Misaki.
"Yes, what is it Miss Shijeki? Is Ichiro's doing well?" Misaki asked from the other line.
"M…Mam Ichiro," Her voice cracked a little. "He's n…nowhere to be found."
There was a big silence.
"Hello hello? Mam…Mam," Shijeki said through the phone but the line was cut off.
The next thing Misaki did, start the car and drove away with a speed she ever drives. Her shirt got wet not for the sweat but the tears that were flowing non-stop.
