Chapter 13: Sensei

The next day .

The next day I woke up.

"Ohayo Zenah-san" Aunt Aimi greets me.

*(Ohayo= Good Morning)*

"Ohayo." I greet her back.

"You woke up late today. By the way your parents are having breakfast down stair, go join them."

I went out from bed, brush my hair and went down.

I saw mom and that eating.

"Ohayo mom, dad." I said.

"Oh, ohayo Zenah." Mom said.

"Ohayo Zenah." Dad said.

"Come and sit with us, you need to eat a lot, today will be a long day." Mom said.

"Yes."

I sat on the chair, a maid gave me a plate, cup of milk and bowl of cereal.

"How is the schedule of interview?" Dad asks mom.

"They agreed to move it next week." Mom said emotionless without even looking at dad.

What wrong with them?

I continued to eat my breakfast.

After I ate my breakfast I went upstairs to get ready.

"Get ready in an hour, your trainer will be here soon." Dad said.

Aunt Aimi and I went to my bedroom and she helps me to get ready.

"Zenah-san,just a piece of advise, please be brave, your childhood is about to get stressful. If you think you will be having a good childhood, you're wrong, your parents—especially your dad—wants you to be perfect in every way." She said.

I don't know what to say.

"I'm not threatening you, I'm just giving you a advise." She added.

"Okay, thank you." I said.

Then I went to the bathroom and took a bath.

After 15 minutes, I step out from bathroom.

Aunt Aimi prepared my dress and sandals.

"Call me after you change clothes, I'm just gonna get your medicine down stairs." She said

I gave her a nod then she went down stairs.

Few minutes later, I was about to call Aunt Aimi but someone knocks at my door.

"Who is it?" I ask.

"Zenah-san it's me." It was aunt Aimi.

"Come in, aunt Aimi."

She was carrying a glass of water and two medicine.

"This one is your vitamin." She points at the white tablet, "And this one is for IQ level." She points at the other tablet.

I then drank them.

Mom calls me down stairs trough the telephone.

Every room in our house has a telephone land line, it makes us more easier to communicate.

When I went down stairs I saw a fifty year old man wearing expensive suit.

"Zenah, come her." Dad said.

I went to him.

"This is my trainer when I was young, he taught me a lot of things in different matters. He will be your trainer also." Dad said.

The man stands up. "Hi, I'm Niko Yamamoto."

"Hello Mr. Yamamoto, I'm Zenah Ieakami. Nice meeting you."

We shake hands.

"As your dad said, I will be you're your trainer. When Haru was young, I didn't go easy on Haru that time, I remember I made

Haru cried a lot, but if I went easy on him, I'm sure he's not where he is know." The man said.

"Okay, that's enough Niko-san. You're saying nonsense again." Dad said.

To be honest I don't feel comfortable with this man. Unlike when I first met mom and dad, I feel safe and good being around with them. But this man, i-I can't explain the feeling, I just know that I'm not comfortable with him.

"Okay we should start, we can't waste too much time. Zenah, just call me sensei, okay?" The man said.

"Yes, I understand."

"So Haru, where should we begin?" Teacher said.

"Why don't you teach Zenah the basic things first? Besides she's still young, it will be hard for her if you start at the difficult things." Mom answer.

"I'm talking to Haru not to you Mrs. Iekami." The mas said sarcastically.

What the—

"Niko!" Dad voice raised.

What the hell is going on.

"That's it, we're done here, you won't be teaching my daughter—"

"Hon, we already talked about this last night." Dad calmly said.

"I don't allow that man to be my daughters teacher." Mom said and she grabs my hand.

Dad grabs my other hand. "I trust Niko, please trust him too."

"I trust him but I don't like his attitude."

They started to fight.

"What did I tell you before Haru? Don't fight in front of the child." The man said.

He actually has a heart. Not bad.

He grabs me. "Zenah will stay with me, I won't touch nor talk to her. The two of you, go up stairs and talk, don't come here until you finish talking."

Like a child they both follow what teacher said.

"Sit down and let's wait for your parents." He said.

After half an hour, mom and dad came down.

"This is what we've agreed on. I will let you teach my child but once that I saw her crying you won't be alble to see, touch and talk to her again." Mom said.

She sat beside me and and hold my hand.

"Did we scare you earlier?"

I gave her a not.

"Sorry."

"Don't be sorry mom. Fight is inevitable."

"Do you have other conditions?" The man asks.

"None, that's my only condition." She turns to me. "Darling, I have to get to work, behave okay? And do what your teacher told you to do." Mom added.

"Yes mom, I will. Good luck on your work." I said and kisses her.

"Good bye." Then she left.

"Let's leave together." Dad said but mom didn't look at him and she just walk.

"Tsk." Dad rolled his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Good bye and good luck sweetheart." He kisses my forehead.

"Good bye, dad. Good luck on your work." I kiss him back.

Then she left.

"Should we start?"

"Sure."

"The first thing you should learn is the food etiquette—...

Then we began to discuss things.

I just learn that there are different types of spoon, there are different spoon for dinner, desert, tea, coffee and salad. The same with fork and knifes.

He taught me the different types of utensils and their use.

"That's it for today. Tomorrow you will learn how to use them with real food."

"Thank you, sensei." I bow at him.

"It's dark outside, I should go now."

"You won't stay for dinner or even have a snack, sensei?"

"No, I still have a meeting to attend. Thank you for today Zenah, see you again tomorrow."

"Let me walk you up to the front door." I said.

He thank me again when we reach the front door. "Thank you, Zenah."

"See you again tomorrow sensei."

Then he left.

I went to my room and took a shower after that I ate snack and I continued watching anime.
