Chapter 15: First Friend

We did a lot of things in just a few hours, we also talk a lot of things.

"You know what, my mom told me last night that I should meet her master's daughter, at first I was anxious, thinking that you might be a bad girl, rude and arrogant, but no you were nice as Aunt Aki."

"Arrogant?"

"Yeah, your parents are multimillionaire, can't help to wonder if you're rude."

"Sonna koto nai."

*(Sonna koto nai = There is nothing like that)*

"There is, some people act like that."

"Well, it's good that I'm not like them.

She nodded.

"What's your Japanese favorite food, Zenah?"

"Right now, I don't have one. What about you?"

"Good thing you ask, I have a lots of favorite food..."

Then she starts saying a lot of foods, she mentioned many foods.

"That's so many." I said.

"I only love them when my mom makes it, but when other people makes it, it taste terrible."

What she said made me laugh.

"Did I say something funny?"

"None." Then I laugh again. "When we have time, let's taste all your favorite food."

"That's sound great. I will tell mom about that."

We hered someone knocks at the door.

"Come in." I said.

It was Aimi-san.

"Zenah your parents are here, it's also time for dinner."

"Okay, thank you, we will come down in a minute."

"Sure we will wait for you down stairs."

The Aimi-san left.

"After dinner, you will go home."

"It's not like we won't see each other again." She replies.

"You're right, there's nothing to worry about, we will see each other again next time."

Then we went down for dinner.

"Konbanwa Zenah-san, Aika-san." Mom greet us.

*(Konbanwa= Good evening)*

"Konbanwa, mom, dad."

Aika also greeted them.

"Come and sit." Dad said.

After that we ate dinner.

After dinner, we bid our goodbye.

"You have a friend now." Mom lifts me up.

"I hope that's okay."

"Why wouldn't it be fine, I'm actually glad that you have a friend."

Dad joins our conversation, "I wish you would make more friends."

"Back when I was in preschool I have a lot of friends, but soon I learned that having many friends is actually bad, some of them backstabbed me, some of them became my bullies and some of them suddenly ignored me. Not even one was left. Ever since then, I said to myself that I will only have one or two friends."

"Wow, I'm impressed." Dad said.

"Come to think of it, I have a lot of friends." She turns at me. "Do you think that some of them are backstabbing me, some of them will become my bullies and some of them will suddenly ignore me?"

"What?" I laugh.

"What are you thinking, honey, of course they won't do that to you."

"Dad is right mom, besides your friends are different from my old friends." I said.

"You actually have a point."

"Okay, it's getting late we should go to bed now." Dad said and carried me. "You will be sleeping with us tonight, okay?"

I nod my head.

After I took a shower and everything, I went to my parent's room.

I saw mom doing her skin care while dad is watching television.

"Come here Zenah." Dad patted his lap.

I went to him and sat on his lap.

"Three days before your big day." Dad whispers at my ear.

What does he mean?

What big day?

I didn't ask dad what he mean, I just pretended not to care about what he said.

"Okay, I'm done doing my skin care, let's go to bed now." Mom said.

"Oh gosh, finally." Dad whispered.

While laying on their bed, they're telling me stories until I fall sleep.

"You're adopted and yet you're so arrogant."

"If it weren't to your adaptive parents you wouldn't be experiencing this life."

"Your real parents sold you because they don't want you and they don't have money".

"Shouldn't you be ashamed that you're adopted?"

What is this.

A group of bullies.

They're around me.

Some of them are kicking me.They kept on saying mean things to me.

"Damare!"

*(Damare = Shut up. Very rude way to say shut up)*

Did I shout it out loud.

I'm catching my breath.

"Zenah? Dō shita?" Dad ask me.

"I have a nightmare dad, they're bullying me just like before and they're hurting me also."

He hugs me.

"Don't worry, dad is here, it's gonna be okay." He tried to comfort me.

Honestly, I've been feeling anxius this past few days. I heard mom, dad and sensei yesterday, they said that after seven days of training they will announce me as their daughter.

I should be feeling proud than anxius, right?

"It's too early to wake up, try to get back from sleeping. Don't worry, dad will hug you." Dad said.

As he said he hugged me the whole time, he didn't let go of me.

The next morning I woke up.

I can hear the birds chirping.

And dad's still hugging me.

"Morning, sweetie." Dad said.

"Morning dad."

"Ahh, I'm jealous, why is it that only two of you are hugging, what about me?" Mom said.

Dad chuckled. "Zenah is having a nightmare earlier so I hugged her."

"I also had a nightmare before, but you didn't hug me." Mom pouted.

"I did." Dad said.

"No you didn't!" Mom insisted.

"Yes I did, you didn't notice because you fall asleep very fast. You can check the CCTV." Dad replies.

"Okay fine you won. Oh, good morning, Zenah."

"Good morning too, mom."

"Okay let's go down stairs for breakfast."

After that we went downstairs.

The food is already ready.

It felt lonely in our house, something is missing.

Oh, I remember now, Aimi-san. Today is her day off.

"You already miss her?" Mom spoke.

"Who?" I ask back.

"Aimi."

"Oh, yeah… A little."

"Don't worry she will come back tomorrow morning.

I continued to eat my breakfast.

After I ate my breakfast I went to the living room and waits for sensei.

Our door banged. "Ohayō min'na." It was sensei.

"Ohayo, sensei."

"I'm exited today, because, I will teach you how to use gadgets. And I will also teach you how to post on different types of social media's."

Well. I'm exited too.

That's the reason why I still want to be teached, it's because I want to learn how to use gadgets.
