#17

The atmosphere inside the house was awkward a little.

the mother was preparing the dinner while naru helped her put down the dishes on the table.

Tatsumi was sitting on the couch silently. Tatsumi's plans were utterly crushed, he can't belive that from all the other days, she came today.

She said that she got time off from work which would last for three days.

And tatsumi had to explain the situation about naru to his mother.

Tatsumi's mother was so overjoyed.

And thus she invited naru to eat dinner.

And here we are. Tatsumi sighed in disappointment, it's not that he didn't want his mother to get back, it's just that he hoped his mother won't pry on his private life.

After the dinner was ready, they sat down around the table. Tatsumi's mother was sitting on one side of the table while tatsumi and naru sat beside each others.

The food was extraordinary, it was sushi. Each one enjoyed their meals as they ate.

After they finished eating, Tatsumi's mother carried the dishes along with naru, Then they started washed the plates, while tatsumi watched TV.

After they finished the plates, tatsumi's mother said that it was getting late so she told tatsumi to escort her home.

Tatsumi and naru walked on the dark street unhurridly.

Tatsumi tried to break the silence.

"Hey, so...I'm sorry about my mother"

"No at all, actually I quite like her"

"That's a relief"

Then they both got silent again.

After about ten minutes, they reached naru's house, naru said goodbye to tatsumi and went to her home.

Tatsumi stood still for a while, then he returned back to his home.

Tatsumi put off his shoes as he entered the house. Tatsumi found his mother doing something on the laptop. As he got near, she suddenly spoke.

"I can't believe you actually managed to get a girlfriend, I thought you are so hopeless that I was about to give up.

And in addition to getting girlfriend, you brought her in here"

Tatsumi's mother paused as she stared toward tatsumi.

"Could it be that you were planning to do something fishy"

Tatsumi's cheeks got red as he refuted aggressively.

"N-no,no,no,no, it's not what you think"

Tatsumi's mother giggled as she turned her head back.

Tatsumi didn't know what to say, eventually he decided to go upstairs to play some video games.

As he was about to take the first step, tatsumi's mother suddenly said.

"A  teacher from your school called me, she said that you got full mark in one of the exams as well as she said that you gain quite a popularity"

Tatsumi was stunned, he stood there unmoving.

"I didn't even imagined something like this to happen, i just wanted you to know that I am so proud of you"

Tatsumi, after hearing this, proceeded upstairs. Tatsumi's mother had a slight smile on her face.

Tatsumi entered his room and dropped himself on the bed.

Althought tatsumi wanted to hear those words from his mother, he wasn't happy when hearing them.

Maybe It's because he got there thanks to that game in his phone. Tatsumi really wondered if weather what he was doing right or wrong. But tatsumi quickly dismissed these thoughts as he didn't like thinking about complicated stuffs.

Tatsumi opened a game and started playing.
