Kai and Alula call Jasper and Rachel home. To talk about their honeymoon.
"Papa, buy you a honeymoon voucher to Finland!" Kai said authoritatively in front of his son and daughter-in-law.
"If I may, I want to go to Japan" Jasper said.
"Japanese? East Asia?" Kai looked worried. He was worried that his son was going to another continent alone with Rachel.
"Didn't you ever go there?" Alula interrupted the conversation of her husband and son.
"Yes, Ma. But Jasper wanted to get Rachel to go there," Jasper said excitedly.
"All right, it's up to you, too" Kai finally gave all the decisions to Jasper and Rachel.
"Where do you want to go, baby?" Alula asked her daughter-in-law.
"Wherever I want to go origin with Jasper," Rachel said awkwardly.
"I'm home!!!" A woman with her face looking exhausted.
"Kim's? You just got home?" Kai stood up from his seat when he saw his youngest daughter had just returned home at night.
"Papa, look how?" Kimberly stood before Kai lazily.
"Team!! Watch what you say to Papa!" Alula reminded her daughter.
Kimberly was indeed a cold and haughty girl. It was William's upbringing. William is the father of Kai, or grandfather of Jasper and Kimberly. Kimberly lived with her parents. But William and Sofia are forced to take care of Kimberly because they are quite lonely in old age. William taught Kimberly the same way he taught Kai. Makes Kimberly a spoiled, haughty and cold girl.
"Who was your brother!" Kai raised his voice.
"Hi, J! Hi, Rachel!!" Kimberly greeted Jasper and Rachel excitedly.
"I go upstairs first! I'm tired of just skating with my friends" Kimberly went straight up the stairs without hearing the answers.
"That kid! Honey, you have to teach her to be warm to others!" Alula turned towards her husband with a worried face. Rachel simply looked at her sister-in-law in confusion. He had never talked much with Kimberly.
"It looks like I have to get closer to Kim" Rachel muttered in her heart.
"You guys just calm down! I'll educate the boy!" Jasper looked at the already invisible Kimberly.
"So, when are you going?" Kai refocused his attention on his son's honeymoon plan.
"In two days we're leaving" Jasper decided to agree with Kai and Alula.
As the day is getting late, Jasper and Rachel decide to stay at Kai's house.
"This is your room?" Rachel took a look at Jasper's spacious room.
"Yes. Whose room is it again? Bi Esther's room?" Jasper laughs. Bi Esther was the name of the household assistant of both her parents.
"You and Aurora are so close?" Rachel forced her smile as she looked at the row of photos of Aurora in her husband's room.
"Aurora and I have known each other from childhood. You jealous?" Tempta Jasper to his wife.
"Jealous? Of course not. Why am I jealous?" Rachel brushed.
"really? Then, I'll go down and go to Aurora's house. The house is right next to this house" Jasper teases Rachel.
The young man pretended to walk out of the room.
"Jasper, no! Let's go to sleep! It's already night. Don't we have to pack tomorrow for departure to Japan?" Rachel pursues Jasper's steps and locks the door.
"You're jealous!!" Jasper laughed at his wife's face.
"Nope-no. I'm not jealous" Rachel keeps dodging.
"Resistend!" Jasper walked over to his bed and lay there.
Meanwhile in the other room, Alula was watching the snow stubs that fell at night.
"What are you doing, baby?" Kai wrapped his arms around the wife who had been a dozen years accompanying him in a state of joy and sorrow.
"While watching the snow," Alula said with a smile.
"You remember our son?" Kai guessed.
"Yes. I hope this winter is a wonderful honeymoon for them."
*****
Two days later.....
Rachel and Jasper depart from Birmingham International Airport to Chitose Baru Airport, Sapporo, Japan. The journey takes 20 hours with one transit. Rachel and Jasper spend time traveling by chatting with each other to get closer.
"So you never saw your parents again after they sold you out?" Jasper looked at his wife's pity who had a sad face.
"No. I've never seen them again" Rachel smiled sweetly covering her heart's sadness.
"After you bought me, I left the house. I'm afraid they're selling me again. Regarding your money, I really don't enjoy it," Rachel told me the truth.
"I believe you" Jasper cupped his wife's hand warmly.
"Jasper? What if we open our own business. I feel bad, we both live relying on Papa Kai and Mama Alula," Rachel expressed her heart's grievances all along. He felt bad to be continuously lived by his in-laws.
"Just calm. I also thought about living independently. Coming home from Japan, I will give you good news about what we will do, of course, free from the frills of my parents," Jasper dismissed his wife's concerns.
"Thank God if you've prepared everything" Rachel smiled happily.
"It turns out she's a sincere girl. If he wanted to target the treasure, of course he would continue to enjoy the facilities provided by Papa," Jasper muttered as he watched Rachel who was staring at him.
"Then go to sleep! Our vacation is about to begin!" Jasper rubs Rachel's head. Rachel pulls the blanket and tries to fall asleep.
"What's wrong with me?" Jasper watched Rachel who was trying to fall asleep.
A few hours later, Jasper and Rachel arrive at New Chitose Airport. After checking the passport, Jasper immediately exchanged money at several Travelex money exchange kiosks. Jasper changed his money from Pounds to Yen. Not to forget, Jasper issued his ATM card so that it can be used in Japan.
"I'm hungry!" Rachel stroked her flat stomach.
"I'm hungry too. Let's eat ramen first!" Take Jasper with Rachel's hand.
"Aren't there any ramen at the airport?" Rachel wonders.
"of course. There were several dining areas in the domestic terminal," Jasper kept guiding Rachel's hand.
They arrived at the dining area at the airport. Jasper ordered two bowls of ramen. A few minutes later, two bowls of ramen were presented on their desks with visible smoke still billowing.
"It smells so good! Let's eat!" Rachel immediately took her ramen bowl and also chopsticks. Rachel seemed to have trouble using the chopsticks in her hands. Understandably, you never eat with chopsticks.
"Aww hot!!' Rachel wagged her hand with a splash of ramen that was still very hot.
"Be careful! Ramen is so hot! You okay?" Jasper stood up from his seat.
"No. I'm fine" Rachel immediately drank the drink on her desk.
"Eating it is not like that" Jasper took an apron and placed it on his chest.
"This aims to avoid the stain of ramen sauce on the shirt," said Jasper while wearing the apron on his chest.
"It seems like the sauce won't spill," Rachel watched her husband.
Jasper took the chopsticks and also the duck spoon that was on the table.
"Pump to take his noodles and duck spoon to drink the broth sauce and also to eat the toppings," Jasper began to take the noodles with his chopsticks. The young man was seen sipping his noodles hard.
"The fish!!" Jasper exclaimed as he ate the ramen.
"Why are you sipping the noodles?" Rachel asked in confusion. It is very rare to eat Asian food.
"Japanese are used to eating Ramen by not cutting it or letting it go long. They'll sip it in a loud voice. Sipping like this to tell them that their homemade ramen is very tasty," Jasper went back to eating the ramen to the toilet. Rachel also tried to eat ramen like Jasper ate. The girl was taught by Jasper how to eat with chopsticks.
"Jasper, give a tip for the waitress!!" Tell Rachel to her husband after they finish ramen in each bowl.
"Never give a tip in Japan, Bulgarian girl!!" Jasper said with a sigh.
"Why can't it?" Rachel looks confused.
"For them to tip is disrespectful. Just say Arigato. Different from America. There we have to give a tip. Even the tip details have sometimes gone into the bill. If you don't tip in America, waitress will come after you sometimes!" Obviously Jasper's long.
"Pursued?" Rachel was confused.
"Yes, because usually they feel that there is less pleasure in their service if the customer does not give a tip" explained Jasper again.
"Oh so. The culture and habits of this world are different, right?" Rachel was again only stunned, because Jasper was a broad-minded man who was also able to put himself wherever he was.
