Kenichi did not want any one to ruin his date again. So, He kicked Kuro as soon as lunch was over. He only took her back to this apartmemt later in the evening.
"this one is much bigger than the one before" she said after she had shower.
"Yes. this building is new one" He bought it few weeks ago.
"How about the old one ?"
"I sold it already"
"why ?"
"this one is much suitable for us. the old one was to small for two people"
"oh ok" She felt the same. This new one was much better than his old one.
"Babe, lets have a rest. I'm going to take you to visit the Sato couple. Do you still remember them ?"
"Are they the couple that helped me when I lost ?"
"Yes"
"Are you still in contact with them ?"
"no"
"How about your grandparents ? we should come to visit them as well"
"I don't know where they are"
"Can you try to call them ?"
"Better not to"
"Why ?"
He signed "I'm not in good term with them. I'm afraid I'll ruin their good mood if I make contact with them"
More or less, she understood the reason why Kenichi relationship with his maternal family was not good. So, she did not pressure him any further. She determined to do it step by step.
"Oniichan, Lets have a rest. We need to leave early tomorrow, right ?"
He smiled and hugged her. He knew how lucky he was to have such an understanding woman "yes".
Friday morning, after having a light breakfast and bought some fruit for the Sato couple, they left their home.
"Press P1" He said.
"Huh ? Should it be G for ground floor ?"
"We are going to parking place. we'll ride motorbike there"
"Really ?!"
"Of course"
In the parking spot, there was a motor bike with two helmet and two motorcycle jackets. He took the smallrr jacket and passed it to her "wear this"
Cacha took it and smiled as she still see the tag on it. She pulled the tag off and put the jacket on. When she finished He already put his jacket on as well as gloves. He put the helmet on her and locked before he did for him self.
He mounted the bike first and gestured her to mount the bike as well. Cacha took a deep breath and sat on the back.
He turned the engine on "Hold on me".
She held his jacket tightly "Oniichan, don't ride too fast. Ok ?"
He took both of her hand and circled them on his waist "Hold on tightly. Don't be afraid, I'm here"
Cacha nodded and did as she was told.
Cacha really enjoyed the ride. She imagined how he looked like when he drove the bike in his early twenties, he must be so cool. She wished she knew him at that time but she doubted that he would like her if it was happened. eeightor nine yeats ago, she was just still a high school girl who was very childlish and annoying, she reckoned he would not like her.
"We are here" His words brought her back to the present. She dismounted the bike and took off the helmet.
"Give me the the helmet and the jacket" Kenichi said. He already took off his helmet and his jacket. After he put the helmet and the jacket on the bike, he held her hand and led the way.
"Do you still remember where it is ?" She asked.
"roughly"
They stopped in front of a small house and knocked the door.
"Who is it ?" A middle age around Mrs Feng aged came out.
"Hello, Mrs Sato ?" Kenichi said politely.
"Yes. It's me"
"Do you remember us ? back then.your husband helped a foreigner who lost her way in this area and brought her to your place"
Mrs Sato furrowes her eye brows. She looked at Cacha then she smiled "of course. come in side. My husband is home as well"
"Hello aunty, uncle, how are you ? long time not see. Sorry I don't bring anything for you" Cacha said after they were in side. She put the fruit she bought earlier on the table
"you .. you speak Japanese? " Mr and Mrs Sato were surprised.
"A little bit. oniichan teaches me".
"Good thing, you won't have problem when you're walking around"
Mrs Sato shook her husband hand "Father, don't say that"
She let an apologetic smile to Cacha "I'm sorry, my husband was just joking. next time, you don't need to bring anything. When did you arrive here ?" the she happily poured tea for them.
"Last week"
"How long are you going to stay here ?" Mr Sato asked.
"I've got a job here. I'm going to stay for two years"
"are you coming here for him ?" Mrs Sato teased.
Cacha smiled shyly. Keinichi chuckled "Yes. She is here for me. I asked her to come here"
"Have you asked her parents permission ?" Mr Sato asked.
"of course"
"You two, Stay here for lunch, ok ?"
"We plan to take you two out for lunch" Kenichi said.
"No need. No need. Just have lunch at home. Home made food is much healthier" Mrs Sato said.
Cacha giggled "Aunty sounds like mum".
Mrs Sato laughed "Let me cook for you".
"Aunty, I'll help you"
"No, just stay here"
"It's ok. I used to help mum in the kitchen as well" Cacha stood up and followed Mrs Sato to the kitchen.
While the ladies had a nice time cooking together and had a light conversation, The gentlement enggaged in light conversation as well on the veranda.
"She is a good lady" Mr Sato looked at Keinichi while smiled eyes.
"She is"
"You have to treat her well, she must really love you"
Kenichi laughed "I will"
"It's not easy for parents to let their girl follows her lover. they must have a lot of trust on you. Don't let them down"
"Yes"
"Are you two married ?"
"Not yet. Probably next year. I have to settle down everything first"
"That's right, that's right"
Mr Sato gave Keinichi lecture how to be a good husband and father. He used his own experience as a bad example that should not be followed. In turn, Kenichi also told him how nervous he was since they both grew up in different environment.
"Based on your story, her parents brought up their kids very well. You need ask your parents in law guidance. And I'm sure you will be in the right track"
"Uncle, Oniichan, lunch is ready" Cacha popped up.
"Lets have lunch. It's rather late"
Kenichi and Cacha stayed after lunch. They had a nice chat with the Sato couple before heading back home in late afternoon. It was not their only meeting, Cacha was often to come to visit them. She treated Mrs Sato like her second mum
