Chapter 5 - On her Apartment

Shouza DIARY

The next day have passed, I slept at the thought that, I still anxious whether if dad will come to the meeting or not.

I woke up tomorrow with a mindset, I still have hope, it's still Tuesday, dad will come to the meeting.

I don't want to be humiliated, I haven't before, I hope I won't.

And 2 days have passed, with a mindset of something like this now.

I have hope, it's still Thursday, dad will come.

As you can tell, I am losing all hope, And then all the weekdays have passed.

All I did was, go to school, no one wants to be friends with me since they're not convinced I'm a daughter of Oni, which is my dad, Shouta Theodore, which for some reason, he have never told me about it, I will talk with dad when he gets back.

It's Saturday, and dad haven't returned from Nachi Country yet, and I'll be embarrassed on school in the Parent-Teacher's Meeting, it's because I boasted about my dad, the richest man in our country.

While I'm at school, I've been bragging more that he's coming there, I only made it worst! Even though I know for a fact that he won't, what should I do?

And he's a known person that is the founder of their former school, and I'm not even aware of what he's doing, I just know where he travels, and when.

I can't believe my dad hid all of that to me!

Another thing is that, that girl is going to stay with me in my apartment.

She texted me to pick her up yesterday, she just got discharged today.

Touko Arkada, huh? I will be helping her everyday, for like 3 months, since I broke her right arm, technically, since I'm not looking at the road and crashed at her with my bicycle, this going to be a pain.

I had the worst week ever.

I then called Sir Alex to take me to the hospital, since Touko texted me that she's going to be discharged today after her surgery, and we have to stop by her house to pick up some things, she said that she already told her family that she will be moving out.

"Good morning, Sir Alex. " I greeted.

"Good morning Ms. Theodore, to the hospital? " he asked.

"Yes, please. " I said.

"Well then, off we go. "

He then rode away to hospital.

I always thought that Sir Alex is always by my dad's side all the time, but it turns out because if me, he had to watch me from the shadows as father's orders.

At that time I always watch some Flix shows that I haven't kept up yet, a lot of my favorite shows have released a new episodes and seasons, I have to watch all of it tonight since tomorrow is Sunday.

We then arrived at the hospital.

"Thanks. " I said.

"Hurry it up. " he said jokingly.

I then saw her on the lounging chairs, and she a had a her things with her.

"Hey, Arkada. " I called her out.

"Sho... za? " she awkwardly said.

"You're ready?" I asked.

"I.. am.. please.. wait.. " she stutter.

I then led her to the car.

"Follow me. " I then grabbed her used clothes in the hospital, it's small but it's better.

"Let me help you, I'll take this, hurry up now, I'll take you to my home, and be sure to take what you need at your house, I heard your arm will recover in the next 3 months?"

"Yeah... I will.. do as.. you want.."

God, can you not stutter all the time? it's embarrassing!

"Well let's go now, I have something to do something after this."

Well, I'm going to be embarrassed on Monday, so it's not a good thing to say, IT'S ALL MY FAULT AHH!!

Touko Journal

She picked me up at the hospital after I texted her, and met her at the lobby of the hospital, she then picked me up and take me to her house with a car of her assistant, I think.

The way they talk is like they're office mates at work.

I texted my brother beforehand to ready all my clothes and things in a luggage, I will have to explain to him after I got back home.

We then arrived at her house, or an apartment, since we left the car at a grand apartment named Theo Apartment, of course.

"I'll be waiting here, Touko. "

Why'd he need to wait for me? Is he taking me back home later and return me here again? What a diligent assistant, maybe he's an assistant of Shouza's dad.

We then rode an elevator, and got into the room, 918, a top floor.

Here we are, Shouza then unlocked her door to the apartment, and we then met with a maid, huh, she's rich for a maid too, of course.

"Good afternoon, Mistress, and Ms. Arkada, your father have told me about your appearance. "

HOOO!!

A maid! I didn't know I needed to see a maid until today!

"Yes! " I shouted, unknowingly.

"Is it your shift? " Shouza asked.

"Yes, Mistress, until 6 pm. " she's so grand, mistress, huh?

She's so beautiful! I'm blushing here!

I have to keep my composure, act natural.

"He.. llo! " I greeted.

"She's Nami. " she introduced her.

"She have 3 hours of shift here, she only works as a maid 3 hours per day, that's what my dad told me, so me and Nami are the one to move around here, you just ask me if you need and want something, or call her if she's on her shift. " she explained.

I hope I can talk like her someday, I'm so envious, at least what Shouza is is something I want to be.

"Right.. " I said.

"She doesn't say much. " I heard Nami whispered at Shouza.

"Cut her some slack. " Shouza said.

That's insulting, either way, I can't say much, thanks to it as well.

"I will.. Go back.. Home.. To get my.. Stuff. " I stutter again, what's new?

"Yeah, see you later, ring the bell at the apartment entrance so that I can help you carry your luggage. " she instructed.

"Okay. " I then left the apartment.

I saw the assistant waiting at the car.

"Hey there, hurry up. " he humbly said.

"Okay. "

"Oh, right, I'm Alex. "

"I'm.. Touko.. " I said.

He talks like a lad.

"I know, since your dad asked me to research you. "

"Wha.. at?? " I stuttered.

Why is her dad needs to know? Does he think I'm a killer? Or a kidnapper? Which one of those?

"Don't worry, he asked for it to know you more since he wants to know the people around his daughter. " he explained.

"You know, when Shouza had a boyfriend, his father asked me to look into it, and when I gave him the details, tomorrow morning, Shouza came home from school crying, and I later found out that her boyfriend broke up with her because of her father's stature at the country. " Sir Alex explained.

Is he threatening me? Because it's working!

"Don't worry, since you're a girl, you're safe. " he assures.

Okay, I thought so, he's kinder than I thought.

"Okay. " I said in relief.

He's really acts as an assistant of his boss, pretty much, not like there's anything different there, though he say somethibgs pretty twisted way without him knowing it.

"Don't be so stiff, Ms. Arkada, she may look like she's always irritated, but she's a responsible kid, and kind if she needs to, she just puts her pride over anything, just don't get in her way too much, since she likes to watch a lot of Flixes at night. " he explained.

Alright if I don't bother her too much I will not be on her bad side? Is that even a tip?

"I'll, keep that, on, my list. " I said, this time I barely stutter, I'm proud of myself.

Since he's a genius at arms I should talk to him a lot if possible.

I then got home, suspiciously, since I never told Sir Alex where I lived.

"Brother. " I called out my brother.

"Touko, what happened to your arm? You're leaving us? Why? Are you gonna abandon us? Me and your mother? " he asked out of paranoid.

Here we go, I explained him what happened.

"Jeez, brother, I'm not, I'm still giving you allowance for mom's and your everyday needs, like I already said in the text, don't you dare use it for unspeakable things I'll personally break your bones! " I said.

"Right! Here I thought you're kidding in the text, here's your luggage. " he said and gave me my luggage.

"*Sigh* Thanks brother, your the best. "

"Bye kid, see you in 3 months. "

"Yeah. " I said and left.

I thank god, brother has the same IQ as me, he is just too paranoid, and he's just malnourished.

If he is healthy and mentally collective, he might've saved us from our crisis, he is as paranoid as always.

Sir Alex took my luggage, put it in the car and we left.

"You and your brother are close, huh? " he said.

"Hmm. " I hummed, answering yes to what he said.

He's right, we are close to the point we know what each other is thinking and doing.

We then arrived at the Apartment.

This is gonna be a long 3 months, I can guarantee it.
