A Family Gathering

As Ratsujin heard his Mom's voice, his eyes widened in fear. He realized what a grave mistake he just made.

Ratsujin slowly looked ahead and saw his Mom, Zara, standing right before him. She was also well-dressed. Zara was wearing a black dress with matching jewelry.

Zara had a stern look on her face. She was not happy after hearing Ratsujin's words.

Zara calmed herself and spoke to Ratsujin, "Ratosi, why do you not want to go to your Uncle's house?" Zara continued, "You know that your Uncle just got home today after three months, and he has invited all of us."

"I know, but....." Ratsujin did not have any words to speak. He froze.

"But What?" Zara gently asked Ratsujin.

Ratsujin spoke in his mind, "What am I supposed to do there? Dad is not going to be there, so why should I go there."

After thinking of a valid reason to tell his mother, Ratsujin spoke. "Mom, can I please stay at home."

"No! You are not staying alone. You are coming with us. Now go to your room and get dressed." Zara stated.

As Zara spoke, she walked away and went straight to her room to get Ratsujin's Brother and Sister.

Just as Ratsujin's Mom left, he gazed at his G-Pa and said, "Can you convince Mom, please? I do not want to go there."

G-Pa answered, "There is nothing I can do to help you besides your Uncle especially asked for you to come."

"Why did..." Before Ratsujin could finish, his stomach groans out of hunger.

As G-Pa heard Ratsujin's stomach groan, he gazed at his grandson and asked him in a soothing tone. "Did you not have lunch in the Academy?"

"No, there was no place to sit," Ratsujin swiftly answered with a straight face.

After hearing Ratsujin answer, G-Pa took a moment before speaking. "There is nothing cooked right now. Go and get ready. I'll get you something on the Metro to eat."

Ratsujin spoke with a smile, "Fine, I'll get dressed." As Ratsujin spoke, he went straight into his room.

Inside Ratsujin's room, Ratsujin saw an outfit placed for him on his bed. 

As Ratsujin saw the outfit, he went close to his bed and thoroughly observed his outfit. There was a white full-sleeve T-shirt, a black jacket, and a black pant for him to wear.

Ratsujin gently removed his brand-new watch from his hand and placed it on his bed. Then Ratsujin grabbed his outfit and went straight into the washroom to take a shower and change his clothes.

After a few minutes, Ratsujin walked out of the washroom wearing his black and white outfit. Before Ratsujin stepped out of his room, he grabbed his watch from the bed and wore it on his right arm's wrist.

"Now I am ready," Ratsujin spoke after wearing his watch.

As Ratsujin spoke, he grabbed his shoes and swiftly went out of his room without wasting a second more.

Just as Ratsujin walked out of his room, he saw his G-Pa, Mom, standing right before his house gate, eagerly waiting for him to arrive. But what really caught Ratsujin's eye was a stroller.

It was not an ordinary stroller. It was a duo stroller made for two kids, but that was not the special part about that stroller. The stroller had beautiful graffiti on the outside of the stroller. The stroller's right side had pink color graffiti, and on the left side was a blue color one.

This stroller was specially made for Ratsujin's brother, Yahuga, and sister, Sasha. This stroller was made by Ratsujin's Dad and his G-Pa.

"Come on, Ratosi, hurry up. We have to catch the Metro. Otherwise, we will be late." Zara spoke in a rushed tone.

As Zara's voice fell upon Ratsujin's ear, he came back to his senses and rushed towards his family and said. 

"I am ready, Mom." Ratsujin continued, "Mom, we will be back soon from there?" Ratsujin spoke with a smile.

"We have not even reached there, and you are talking about coming back," Zara spoke in a high voice but still gentle. She knew Ratsujin was just joking with her.

"Now, come on. I do not want to be late." Zara said.
