Home Sweet Home

The door is open. Saito senpai is wearing swimsuit. She looks so mature and elegant when wearing the swimsuit. Again, why she is so pretty?

“How is my swimsuit Arima-kun?”

“It’s look very nice.”

“Really? Thank you.”

“Why both of you are suddenly become quiet? Are two of you really dating?”

“No!!” Saito senpai and I replied at the same time.

“Hmmm alright then. I will pay my swimsuit first.”

“Wait for me Azusa-chan!”

Saito senpai and Azusa go to the counter to pay for their swimsuit. I am waiting for them outside of the store. The picture of Saito senpai wearing swimsuit is still in my mind.

“I think maybe we should have dinner outside tonight. Arima-kun are you okay with it?”

“I okay with it. How about Azusa?”

“I fine with it! Let’s go to restaurant!”

We went to a restaurant that was located on the first floor. We take the seat at the empty table. Saito senpai and I go to the counter to place the order. We ordered omelet rice and orange juice for our dinner tonight. After that we bring our meal to our table.

“It looks delicious! Niichan I don’t know that every day you eat things like this at Tokyo!”

“Not every day. I eat this kind of food only on certain occasion.”

“Let’s start eating now, Arima-kun and Azusa-chan!”

We start eating omelet rice. I feel long time I did not have omelet rice.

“Niichan, mom said you need to go back tomorrow. “

“I thought that I have said that I will be back next week. Why this so sudden?”

“Mom said she wants you to help her at the farm. Dad is busy with his work this summer.”

“Alright then.”

“Akemi-neechan, do you want to join us go back to our home?”

“Azusa, Saito senpai will go back to her hometown. She couldn’t join us.”

“Maybe I can go to your home. I can go back to my hometown from your home.”

“Do you hear that, niichan?”

“Saito senpai, you do not need to follow what Azusa said. “

“But I really want to go there.”

“Why?”

“I have not been to Kyoto before. I also want to meet with Minami there.”

“Wait? Minami? Niichan did you met with Minami-neechan here? Why do you not tell me?”

“I just don’t want to tell you.”

“Azusa-chan, are you close with Minami-chan?”

“Yes! She always comes to our house to play games with us. But she stops come to our house after that incident happen.”

“What is the incident?”

“Azusa, you should stop talking now. Saito senpai, I will pay for dinner. Both of you can wait for me outside.”

“Okay! Do you have enough money to pay, Arima-kun?”

“Yes.”

“Sorry, Akemi-neechan. But I can tell you what happen until niichan himself tell you about the story.”

“Never mind, I understand.”

“Saito senpai, Azusa let’s go back home. We need to be packing for tomorrow.”

“Alright.”

When we arrived at the house, I entered my house and Azusa followed Saito senpai to her house. I am packing the things that I need to bring. I will stay for two weeks and then go back here. What should I do to fill my time at home later? I will think about it tomorrow. After done packing my things, I go to sleep.

Knock-knock!

Who is knocking on my door when I sleep peacefully? I look at my clock and it shows six o clock in the morning.

“Niichan, wake up! We need to go to station early because we need to buy ticket first.”

“Alright, I will open door first.”

I open the door and see Saito senpai and Azusa are already dress up. Why they are so enthusiastic?

“I will take a bath first, both you can wait at the living room.”

I take a bath and after that I dress up myself. After that, we go to the train station by bus. When we arrive at train station, Azusa said she will buy train ticket for us. Saito senpai and I wait for her near the counter. After twenty minutes, Azusa finally got the ticket. We will depart in ten minutes. We don’t want to waste the time, so we go to the platform where the train to Kyoto are. We arrive at the platform and the train is already there. We ride the train and sit on the seat based on the stated on the ticket.

I did not realize when we arrived at Kyoto station after almost two hours and fifteen minutes had passed.

“Azusa, who will pick us up?”

“Look ! Dad already here!”

I see. Dad will pick us up. I think today I will tire first before I can start doing anything.

“Youta, I don’t know that you will bring your girlfriend here. At least you should tell your mom first. How shock will she be when you arrive at the house later.”

“Nice to meet you, my name is Saito Akemi.”

“Dad, she is my senpai in my university.”

“No, she is living next to niichan, dad!”

“I just want to say if Youta okay with it, I fine as Saito-san become my daughter in law.”

“Dad!!”

We finally arrived home. Dad said he needed to go back to his work after sending us home.

“Mom, I’m home!”

“Youta, you finally home…. Who is her?”

“Nice to meet you! My name is Saito Akemi, Arima-kun’s senpai at university.”

“You finally found your wife, Youta! I am so happy!”

This is one of the reasons why I feel tired early today.

“Mom, do you know niichan and Akemi-neechan live next to each other at Tokyo.”

“Mom, I want to go back Tokyo right now. I suddenly feel so tired after arriving here.”

“What about your behavior, Youta? I almost forgot. You will help me at the farm this week. Saito-san you also can help us if you want.”

“I will gladly help.”

“That is my future daughter in law. But wait. Youta, what you will do with Minami?”

I think this story will not found its end. I try to cut off the conversation.

“Mom, where is shovel? I want to do my work quickly so I can rest earlier.”

“Where did I put it again? You can try to find it at the store behind our house.”

So, my work is digging and for women, they will plant the vegetable such as tomato, spinach, and potato. Dad just bought this land this year and mom has plans to build a farm using this land. We work from morning until evening every day. Dad is so busy with his work during summer. We finally done all the work on Friday. Although I feel tired, I feel so happy.

“Thank you, Youta, Azusa, and Akemi! Without everyone’s help, I can’t do this until the end.”

“What are you talking about, mom? We are family! We need to help each other.”

“Right! As Azusa said, how I can’t help mom when mom is my mom.”

“Akemi, I really appreciate your help. Although we just met each other a few days ago, I felt that we have become family already. Maybe you should think about it to become our daughter in law.”

“Mom, you really should stop talking about that. Saito senpai and I don’t have relationships like that.”

“Yes, both of us don’t have any relationships other than senpai-kouhai relationship.”

“Alright then. Tonight, we should have big feast to celebrate for our hardworking after working in thos one week.”

When dad arrived at home, I saw that he bought many kinds of food such as sushi, pizza, Takoyaki and there was also one carton of beer. After that, we enjoy our night by having a feast of food. I don’t remember how many I have eat. I don’t care about it. Saito senpai also look happy as she drinks with mom. Azusa just enjoys sushi as she is still a high school student in second year. I am glad I went back home this summer break.

One week before I went back to Tokyo, I brought Saito senpai to visit some place at Kyoto. I also ask Minami to join us. Saito senpai look very happy when we brought her sightseeing around Kyoto. Three days later, Saito senpai went back to her grandma’s house by train. She said she should visit them as her grandma nonstop asking when she will visit them. After two weeks in Kyoto, I finally came back to Tokyo. Incidentally, Minami and I boarded the same train, on the same day when we went back to Tokyo.
