Next day in the early morning I decided to call GM and my mom to tell them that I had to leave to Tokyo with Zen. Ofcourse I had to lie, I couldn't possibly tell them that I was abducted.
Since I was already in Tokyo I decided to visit my grandparents home. I looked to the side where Zen was sound asleep. I could look at him sleeping so peacefully whole day I thought to myself. A smile crept on my face.
"Haru keep staring at me any longer and I swear I won't let you get up from this bed", he said grinning.
I flushed at his comment as I quickly got up from the bed as I literally ran and head towards the bathroom to get fresh.
When I came back out I saw Zen standing at the balcony enjoying the morning breeze. I walked towards him as I hug him from behind. He turned back to me as he tried to kiss me. I placed my fore finger on his lips as I nodded my hand side ways.
"No, Zen first go and brush", I said chuckling. He pouted at me. I placed a kiss on his cheeks at his childish act. He smiled back at me as he headed for the bathroom.
I was still standing at the balcony as I heard a knock at the door. I walked towards it to unlock it. I opened the door to see Erza-san with a tray with cups and a teapot. She bowed to me. I took the tray from her and said her thank you. She said welcome and left.
I closed the door behind me as I decided to brew a cup for Zen too. I took my cup as I headed for the balcony again. Few minutes later Zen came behind hugging me. I startled at his action as my tea spilled a bit on my hands.
"Ouch!" I said.
" Oh I am sorry Haru. I didn't know you were holding that" as he took my fingers as he licked them.
"What do you think you're doing Zen?" I asked smiling.
"Putting lotion on it baby" he said.
"Don't call be baby. Haru is fine" I said.
He laughed out loud. I told him that I brewed a cup for him to have. He went over the table as he got the cup and came back to me.
"Zen are you free today", I asked unsure.
"Ya. Why?" He asked eyeing me.
"I was thinking if I could visit my grandparents" I said.
"Why not Haru? That would be great" he said smiling. "Beside I would like to meet them with whom you spent most of your childhood" he added.
He gave me a crooked evil smile.
"What are you thinking Zen?", I asked eyeing him.
"Nothing much", he gave me grin.
"No. I am sure you are thinking something evil" I said still eyeing at him.
"What?" He said again with that crooked smile.
"Zen tell me" I said to him. "Or else I am not going to go".
"Fine. I just thought maybe I could fish something out of them about your childhood, which I could use to tease you" he broke into a light laugh.
I hit him on his chest lightly.
"You evil person" I said still hitting him.
"That's fair you know. You asked my siblings about me. Now I can ask about you" he said getting hold of my wrist.
We had breakfast as we head out for my grandparents home. Zen drove us out of the estate. As we were about to enter the main lane. Zen looked towards me.
"So which way Haru?" He asked looking at me.
"Actually Zen I don't exactly remember" I said to him giving him a weird smile.
"How come you don't know the place?" Zen asked me.
"Its been years" I said. "How do you expect to remember" I added.
"Do you remember the place name?" He asked.
"No" I said. " You see I never came back after I left here. It was more like they came to LA to visit us" I added.
He laughed out loud making me flushed at my silliness.
"So, now what?" He asked me looking at me with a confused look.
"Let me call my mom" I said handing out my hand asking him for his cell phone.
I dialed my mom's number. As soon as I pressed call the name popped out as mother-in-law. I looked up to Zen face finding him smiling at me. I was blushing.
" Mother-in-law ha" I said chuckling.
Few rings later my mom picked up.
"Hello son-in-law" came the answer from the other side.
"Mom" I almost screamed in embarrassment.
"I thought it was him", she said laughing.
"Mom'" I growled.
"Ok. Sweetie where is your phone. I tried so many times but no answer".
"My phone broke mom" I replied.
"Mom I was thinking of visiting grandpa and grandma, but I forgot thier adress" I said.
My mom laughed at me as she instructed Zen about the place to my grandparents place.
After an hour or two drive we reached at our destination. We got out of the car as we walked the pavement on to the entrance. From the gate itself I could see my grandpa sitting on a chair outside in the shade reading newspaper. As we opened the gate, my grandpa gazed towards us. At first he rubbed his eyes as if in disbelief, once he saw me again he got up from the chair shouting onto grandma saying to her to look who have come.
I rushed in as I hugged him. He hugged me very tightly.
"I missed you grandpa" I said in nihongo.
We parted from the hug as I saw grandma coming out the door. I rushed to her arms as she held out her arms after seeing me. Zen came closer to us. As they saw him they both bowed down to him. He pulled them up from thier bowing position and assured to them that they don't have to do that. He in fact bowed to them asking for thier blessings. It was very sweet of him I thought.
I introduced them to him and vice versa. As I said Zen is my boyfriend they both looked at me with shocked expression.
"Anyway now that both of you are here. Have lunch with us" grandpa said looking towards Zen.
"It would be my pleasure" Zen replied.
"Then you all chat I'll go make the preparations" grandma said getting up from her chair.
"Grandma let me help you" I said smiling as I walked along with her.
I left Zen and grandpa alone to chat as I went along with grandma to help her with the preparation. Once we were inside the kitchen grandma looked at me.
"Grandma why are you looking at me like that?" I asked her chuckling.
"Its been long since last I have seen you dear" she said. I hugged her.
"I missed you to grandma" I said.
"So what are we going to have for lunch?" I asked grandma eyeing her.
"What do you wanna eat?" She asked me back.
"Grandma I missed your miso soup and tamagoyaki" I said receiving a smile from her.
"Then let's start cooking" ahead said as he wrapped the apron around her. She passed me a spare apron.
"By the way grandma, where is uncle and aunt" I asked her.
"They are out of station right now" she said. "But they would been very excited to meet you. If you would have told us you were coming" she complained.
"I am sorry grandma. I didn't plan on coming it just happened" I said smiling. "And once I was here I decided to come see you".
She smiled back at me as she started making the dishes. I cur down the vegetables, got them cleaned.
Once we were done we head outside. Grandpa and Zen laughing as they chat. We joined them. We all chatted for sometimes. Grandma spilling some secrets from my childhood teasing me and along giving away things to Zen to tease me later with.
We chatted for quite a while, as grandma reminded the dishes will get cold. We head in as we savoured the food. After we were done eating I helped grandma clean up the utensils.
It was almost evening when we got back to the mansion. After the lunch we chatted for some more time with them.
