Find Me in 1000 Years

Laundries

Ken finally did not shift the plate containing the cow's cooked eggs, seeing Grandpa who swerved furiously towards him.

"It's okay" said the woman, smiling at the Japanese man. He took his own food for his son.

Seeing the uncomfortable situation, Ken immediately finished his breakfast by drinking warm tea quickly and immediately stood up. "Sorry I have to go to college, I ...."

"Ken, take me to the room" said the bule man firmly.

The one asked for help was even confused, because the grandfather's food was not half finished. "Grandpa, Grandpa's food isn't over yet?"

"You too." The man replied to Ken.

Ken is getting all wrong.

"You sit down, and finish your breakfast. You just left," the grandfather asked. Looks like the grandfather asked Ken to accompany him for breakfast. He felt uncomfortable sitting with his daughter.

Inevitably, the Asian man sat back down and finished his breakfast. The cold war was still shown by the grandfather, even though his daughter was trying to melt the atmosphere.

"Anthony, let's eat a lot like your grandfather" said the woman

The old brown-haired boy stared at the man called 'Grandfather' by his mother. It was not that those eyes looked at him kindly but glared at him sharply.

"Mommy .... " The boy stood on a chair and hugged his mother out of fear.

"It's okay" said the woman, calming the boy. "Grandpa likes to joke."

Ken couldn't bear to finally talk. "I grew up in an orphanage where very rarely would a family come to adopt us or just entertain us. People like us miss meeting family members, like mom or dad. Sometimes when we see a child with their father or mother, we often imagine what our parents look like. How his house, living with them and how it was until we ended up in an orphanage.

You have everything and people where you complain when you're tired and need a conversation partner. Why is it because of something so small, you guys don't talk to each other? You have no one but you are too proud to admit you need each other. Joy and grief should be the bridge for this blood relationship to get closer, not even farther away."

The Japanese man no longer cared if what he said hurt both of them. He's resigned. Wasn't he expecting to get out of that uncomfortable zone?

The breakfast was skipped with wisdom staring at their breakfast. After that, Ken.

"Sorry, I have to hurry back to the apartment. I have to help my lecturer, because he's going to give a speech at the expert doctors' meeting."

"Eh, Ken," call the bule man slowly.

"Yes, Cake?"

"Don't forget to come back here." Apparently the grandfather was still expecting it.

"Well, Ken, but I don't know what time I'll be back."

"I'm waiting for you."

The young man looked at Grandpa, for a moment. "All right." He then left.

After Ken's departure, the woman began to stare at her father. "Daddy .. Can I shave your beard? Looks like the beard is growing irregular." He tried to smile.

The man looked back at his daughter. There was a little doubt in my heart but ... "Just don't get hurt" he said a little stiff. He then returned to his breakfast.

The woman smiled widely. "Thank you, Daddy. "

Ken hurriedly got off the bike and immediately stepped towards the entrance, unaware of a middle girl carrying several packs of hanging clothes also heading towards the same door. They collided before the door until the two fell to the floor.

"Aah!"

"Ouch!" yelled the girl.

The man immediately stood up to see the girl fall and was hit by the laundry clothes he was carrying. "Oh, sorry." He immediately helped pull the clothes off and pulled the girl out of the pile of clothes. "Mira?" He saw the girl among the clothes.

"Mc ... Brother, why did you hit me," lamented the girl.

"Sorry, sorry. I didn't see anyone on the side, so I hurried to the door." No doubt netra the man was bright to see the girl. For several months he had not met and his patience had borne fruit. The girl was getting more mature and beautiful in her eyes. "You work in laundry again?"

Ken helped him stand up. "No. I'm glad to see you again. Where do you work?"

"Ah, the clothes," the girl complained. He did not care about the man's question because he focused on his luggage. "Even though it's been ironed out and the owner is waiting for him upstairs."

"Oh, not dirty. 'You're still in the plastic. Come on, I'll help you drive him." Ken picked up the clothes with the girl. They took him into the elevator. "Why did you bring him alone? You can ask someone else to bring it. It's too much, you can't take it alone."

"It just so happens that today many people ask to be rubbed quickly, Brother. I don't want to have to drive him alone." The girl checked the clothes one by one.

"Mk." Ken was still looking at the face of the girl who was growing up. His hand could not be compromised to touch the girl's chin.

"Sister!" The girl snorted furiously. On the brim the man's hand violently.

Ken laughed amusedly.

"You look like Ejiro!" the girl was upset.

The elevator doors opened and both of them came out. Mira looking for the room number. "Ah, here it is." He pressed the doorbell of the room.

The door then opens. A woman peeked out from the side of the door.

"Laundry, Madam."

"Oh, yes. Which clothes?" The woman opened the door wide. There was a child playing with a car on the floor of the middle room.

After checking, Mira handed some hanging clothes and a bundle of clothes to the woman.

"Thank you" said the woman, glancing at Ken at a glance.

"Thank you, Madam."

The door was then closed.

"Come, let's go somewhere else" the girl asked.

"But ...."

Mira looked towards the man. "Ah, 'Sir Ken is busy huh? Here, let me drive myself."

But Ken avoided. "Eh, it's okay. How many more people will be sent? Come on, we'll take each other."

"Eh, but, Sister ...."

The man grabbed Mira's hand and pulled her to the front door of the elevator.

"But, Brother ...." The girl looked down.

"You must be working here, huh? Go back to my apartment before you go back to work."

"Huh?" The girl looked surprised.

Ken pushes the girl into the elevator when the door opens, then waits for Mira to push the floor button. Then the elevator goes. After sending to two different places, the two then visited the man's apartment.

"This is my apartment. Wait for me, I'll take a shower. If you want a drink, take it in the fridge." Ken rushed to the room. "Oh, yeah." His head came back behind the door. "Why did I work in laundry all this time, I never met you?"

"Oh, I just got to work, brother at the laundry. It's all because of Ejiro's sister."

The man scrunched his forehead. "What's wrong with her?"

Asked that, Mira laughed.
