Now I'm on the stage of being a teenager, currently 16 years old. Yay! Sigh… I miss my brother Shiro, he may always tease me on everything I do but we get along really well. But now that he's gone to a university far away from home i didn't get to meet him since then, always busy with projects. Sigh
Again… I keep on sighing as I lie on my bed staring at the bracelet he gave me during my 8th birthday, well he do gave me a lot of presents on my following birthdays but this is the most memorable one.
There's really nothing I could do today, I've finished cleaning our house till it's almost shining due to boredom and I'm all alone. It's been so long since I've noticed… my parents have been so busy with work that they barely have no time to rest, especially my father, my mom will at least come home every 10:00 pm in the evening while my father comes home every after two days only… plus when comes home I could always hear a slight arguing voice from their bedroom but I paid no heed at it
at first.
But it went and went until their voice grew louder and louder, till my father stopped going home and will only visit every after one week, longer than two days! I tried asking him but his only excuse is 'project', 'busy' and 'I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry'
Oh really?
.
Evening came when my mother came home from work, greeting her I noticed there's something weird from her tonight… as if she just cried as I could see from her slightly swollen eyes, I tried asking her what's wrong but she just said she's tired from work. After eating the dinner I made for her she went and gathered her things to shower.
It was thirty minutes later when I heard the sound of opening gates; I glanced outside the window of my room to see my father with his bag and laptop entered. I quickly ran downstairs to welcome him home but he just smiled at me, as if in a hurry he immediately went towards the room my mom and dad shared and gathered things here and there, putting it all in a suitcase.
"Papa, where are you going?" I asked him as he finished packing his things, exactly when my mother came out from the shower wearing a white bathrobe
"I need to go to a sudden business trip" he answered, not once looking at my mother's direction… hmm, what's wrong?
"Oh… when will you come back?" Following him from behind as he dragged his suitcase I said.
"It'll probably take more than a month"
"Take care then... Papa"
He turned around and gave me a kiss on my forehead before patting my head. I noticed him glance at my mother but my mother just averted her gaze. Why Papa didn't say anything to Mama? Are they fighting again? I hope they'll made up soon…
