POV : Florian Axel
"ah !!!! Is it morning already ?" I said , rubbing my bleary eyes and walking to the window . The sun poured through the window. The just-risen sun shone softly on the city streets , bringing with it the flurry of early morning activity. Another day had dawned bringing with it new hopes and aspirations.
I walked to the bathroom downstairs and heard Nana San humming a tune in the kitchen.
'Oh , good morning Axel !!! So you're up early today , huh!!" Nana san greeted me with a smile.
"good morning!!! , Nana san "
"Is brother Ken up already ?"
" Yea , he's probably getting ready in his room'
"Axel ! breakfast is ready so come to the dining table once you get properly dressed"
"okay!"
I walked down stairs for breakfast after getting dressed up .
"Hey Axel ,well I will talk to the principal sir today about you getting in the school "
"really thank you so much brother , I really look forward to going to the same school where you've been teaching for the last few years!!!'
After breakfast Ken left for the school and I walked towards my apartment with Nana san for the cleaning.
I opened the doors of the apartment room to see the place was in jeopardy, as expected !. we could barely put everything inside yesterday.
Nana san quickly put on her apron and with face mask and gloves and grabbed the broom and said
"come on Axel , lots of work to be done don't waste time!!"
Wow!! she is all pumped up all of a sudden . she sure is an energetic woman . We worked hard with the cleaning without caring much about the time and within no time the whole room and the kitchen was finally neat and tidy.
" there was so much work to be done !!! , when you're not alone things get done quite quickly with lesser efforts"
"Indeed it will!"
"Nana San !!! Thank you so much for helping me with the work today , I would be dead fatigued if you weren't here"
" no problem , I'll always be there whenever you are in need . you're my little bro after all!! "
"What?!!! It's already noon !!! OKAY letch eat something . I'll quickly cook"
"Okay then, i'll throw the garbage until then " I said lifting the bag of garbage.
"make it quick ok!! lunch should be ready soon !"
"Okay! "
I lifted the bag and opened the door and just when i walked outside , the door right next to my room opened . Yuika san carried a huge bag of garbage . looks like it's heavy as she struggled pulling it out . I smiled at her and greeted her.
"Yuika San, good afternoon !!! "
"Oh good afternoon Axel !!! , you going somewhere?"
"i was taking these garbage to throw then , you seem to be struggling to carry these let me help you " i said and grabbed the bag on the one end and started walking slowly alongside Yuika san.
After a few minutes of silent walk Yuika san said
"So which school did you join Axel?"
" I haven't joined yet !!! , Well I was born and raised in Italy . I got here just yesterday morning"
"seriously !!! just yesterday?? And you don't look like Italian at all !! You look like you're japanese"
"Oh!!, Well i am japanese , my mom and dad are japanese, It's just i was born in Italy because my mom and dad had settled in Italy because of dad's job"
"Ah !! I see"
As we walked conversing with each other There stood a huge dustbin in the corner of the street near the lamp post . I took all the garbage bags including Yuika san's opened the lid , put the bags one by one and put the lid back on while Yuika San went to the nearby vending machine at the far end of the street and bought 2 cola.
"Are you tired ?"
" No!, no!, not at all ! A few bags of garbage won't make me tired" i said with a smile.
"Good to hear !! Here have these !" She smiled back at me and handed over the 2 cola.
" Oh! ,Thank you! but one is enough for me !"
" Another one is for Nana san ! You all are working after all , she must be tired , it's for refreshment"
"And thank you Axel for helping me "
" Sure , no problem"
"Hey!, Yuika San you said you had a bakery right?"
"Yes I do , I am going to the bakery right now , we'ev hired a part-timer for the moment he works till noon mon-fri till i get there and then I take over the job there until the evening"
" That's great , Oh I forgot Nana San must be waiting for me , I better get going , bye , see you later Yuika San!"
" Say hello to Nanako San for me okay! See you later Axel !!!"
"Sure I will"
We departed back then and went our separate ways. She went to her bakery and I came back to my apartment to find Nana San waiting for me as the lunch was ready.
