(chapter)-1~ The Beginning
The slow wind blowing around me,my hands feeling the warmth of the grass as the sun glowed at me. Suddenly my grandmother called for me, she said-" Naoka , come eat your meal before it gets cold". At the sound of meal, i quickly got up and ran towards the cottage . The smell of some spicy and freshly cooked hot noodles hit my nose and water dripped my mouth. My grandma looking at me disgustingly said-" go wipe your mouth and wash your hands silly " I looked at her and ran to the kitchen sink to wash my hands . I knew she mocked me sometimes but also loved me the most, only a " your food is the best grandma" was enough to melt her soft buttery heart. I grabbed my chopsticks and said -" thanks for the food" before getting a big bite of noodles without chewing, swallowed it down my throat. I said lovingly -" your food is the best grandma" with a bright smile on my face, she looked at me and smiled saying -"eat as much as you want,we have more in the hotpot ". Staying at her cottage had always been such a core memory to me , there was nothing to worry about, all i did all day was sleep , eat , play , sometimes help her out with laundry. Well , that was the last time I stayed with her , enjoyed her meals ,made her smile and laugh . She died 11 months after I left- of car accident. She was coming to visit us in Tokyo. Yes,i live in Tokyo,japan . After hearing Tokyo most people think of how cool it is to love in such a popular place . But to me it's ok .
She died 2 days before my 12 birthday, since then I lost my smile, my eyes looked dead, my skin turned pale as I wasn't eating enough, I lost weight ,a lot happened. I was so attached to her as I spent almost 3 years with her but it was the time I was truly happy . Now, it was just the three of us ,me, mom and my dad. We were a middle class family but well known , the reason I lived with my grandma for 3 yrs was because both my parents didn't have time for me . My mother-an interior designer and my father-a business man both worked in separate rooms . Too busy to even pack my lunch box or do my hair. My nanny did everything for me but i hated it .
