Knock!
Knock!
Knock!
The sound of someone knocking at the door made a middle-aged woman turn towards the door to see who was coming.
The middle-aged woman smiled happily when she saw that her only daughter smiling cheerfully at her as she peeked through the door.
With a weakly waving hand, the middle-aged woman signaled her daughter to come into the room.
Chika Watanabe complied when she saw her mother wave at her, asking her to come closer to her.
Once she stood beside her mother, she then immediately pulled out a stool nearby and sat on it.
"Mother, look, what I have brought for you!" Chika happily took out an apple from the paper bag she was carrying earlier.
Akiko Watanabe smiled at Chika, but her heartfelt tinge of sadness when she saw her lovely daughter took out one red, big apple which some part of it looked wounded because it might be hit by a hard object, falling, or maybe just another reason.
