"Okaa-san! Yuko kangen once!" I said during a video call with my mom.
"Mother is also kangen, Yuko. What are you doing now?" ask Mom from across.
"On the contract, Mother. Where is dad? Still haven't come home from the office?"
"Yes. Your dad's been overtime lately. Mother is often alone in the house." said my mother who was a little pouty.
"Gee. I'm so sorry my mother." I said scowling and a little sad. I usually accompany him after school.
"How did you go to college in Todai?" ask my mother who then looks very enthusiastic.
"It's so fun, Mom. The campus is huge and very grand. I also have good friends here." I said very excitedly.
"Thank God then, baby. Mom was worried. Yukonya I'm very quiet."
I laughed a little at Mom's words. It is indeed. I'm a little quiet. No, I'm an introvert. And it's hard to get along. My friends are not much either. Even my friends in Sapporo can still be counted on my fingers.
"Don't worry, Mother! I've made good friends here." I smiled broadly at Mom, hoping she wouldn't worry about me anymore.
"Hhm, Okay. What are you cooking today, Yuko?"
"There's leftover food this morning. Gomtang soup." I said.
"What soup is that, honey?" ask my mother a little astonishment. He frowned his already slightly wrinkled forehead. But I think my mom still looks pretty.
"Korean Food, Mom. Haku cooked it this morning. And my friends also visited last night." I explained to Mom.
"Where are they all now? I also want to get to know Yuko's friends."
"They've all gone home, ma'am."
"I'm home too?"ask mom again.
"Hc. Now he's very busy. Besides college, he's also interning at his father's company."
"Well, you have to give him the spirit of dong, Yuko!"
"Yes, ma'am." I replied with a laugh.
"Mom can't wait to see you get married, Yuko" said the smiling mother.
"I just went to college, Mom. Just marry her after graduation!" I said cengengesan.
"You're not afraid that Haku might be taken by someone else?" my mother said teasing me. He also laughed a little.
"What's the stuff, Mom? Play take it .." I said a little chuckle.
"yeah. Where's tau. You told me that Haku is very popular."
"Hhhm, that's popular! Even on campus he was already very popular .." I said a little frown.
"Always be open and trust each other! That's Mom's message to you."
"Hi, Okaa-san."
"Yuko. It was yes. I haven't finished cooking yet."
"OKAY. Yuko called ya sometime."
"Okay, honey."
Mom immediately turned off my call.
I turned on the TV because I was bored at the contract.
It's 4 pm. But there was no call from Haku. Hasn't he come home yet? Hhm ...
I keep checking my phone every minute. I wish there was a message or a phone call from Haku. Until 8pm I had no news from him either. I finally fell asleep.
...***...
The next day my phone rang and I immediately grabbed and picked up the call.
"Forth, Yuko .." greet a man from across.
"Why did you just call me?" tanyaku.
"sorry. I came home a little late last night. And my phone ran out of battery when I got home. I was planning on charging him first just to call you. But I fell asleep, Yuko. Sorry ..."
"It's okay." I said slowly.
"Later home from the office I'll stop by. Let's go for a walk. How's it?"
"No need, Haku. You must be so tired."
"Indeed why? By meeting me will your fatigue disappear?"
"We'll try to figure it out later." he said with a small laugh. "Well, have you had breakfast and a shower?"
"Hhm, Already. Just got."
"You must be so beautiful and fragrant right now. Uhm, kangen ..."
"What the hell .." I said bashfully and my face had started to turn red.
"Seriously, Yuko. I always knew! Or maybe you're bored of always meeting me?"
"No, Haku!" I said hurry. "I'm the same" I said slowly.
"I didn't listen. What did you say, Yuko?"
"I miss too, Haku." I said quietly.
"What's? Haven't heard it. Your voice is slow, Yuko."
"I miss too, Haku." Now I repeat it a little louder.
But I heard Haku laughing a little.
"You're pranking me again?" I said a little annoyed.
"Sorry, Honey. You're so funny when you're snooping! Try it now in front of me, I'm already so anxious!" Haku still laughed.
"You're a bitch, Haku!"
"ahahaha. Sorry deh. Um, I'll see you later then. I have to leave with Dad."
"Uhm. Okay." Okay."
"See you ..."
"See you ..."
Finally, Haku turned off the phone.
I'm busy cleaning my house and washing today. Then I decided to go to the minimarket and shop for soap and some other necessities.
And I accidentally met Ave's sister at the minimarket. Why is Brother Ave often in this area too huh? Is it okay for him to stay with Zen's brother as well? But Zen said yesterday he lived alone. Hhm ...
"Good day, brother!" I greeted and bowed my body as I passed Ave's sister.
"You alone?" ask Brother Ave while wailing like looking for someone.
"Yes, Brother. I'm alone." I replied. "Does big brother also live in the area here too huh?" ask pleasantries.
"No. I was just staying at Zen's house" said Brother Ave as he picked up 2 bottles of cold drinks inside the refrigerator. "Yes. Tell your friend that. Tomorrow's the end of the peak event I'm waiting at the campus park!"
"Sora mean sister?"
"Yes .." said Brother Ave and then put some snacks in his basket.
"good. I'll tell Sora later, sister."
"Oh yeah. Don't you remember Zen at all?" ave's question this time was a little confusing.
"What does my sister mean?" I frowned and looked at Brother Ave confusedly.
"Ah, Nevermind!" brother Ave flicked his hand. "Forget over! Let's just say I didn't say anything!" ave said then walked towards the cashier.
What did Ave mean to talk like that huh? Actually have I met Zen brother before? Hhm ... I don't get it.
I walked towards the cashier and queued up behind Ave's sister.
"Junior, I'm first yeah ..."
"Yes, brother." I said, bowing a little.
After that Ave immediately rushed away from the minimarket.
"Everything is 41,200 yen" a cashier told me.
"Uhm. This ..." I said and paid for my groceries.
After that I immediately rushed away from the minimarket and immediately returned to my rented back.
