Find Me in 1000 Years

Grannies

"O-oh, yes."

The young man waved before leaving on his bike. Ken turned the bike closer to the old grandmother. He cleared a little before he started talking. "Eh, Grandma. Want the bells home?"

The old grandmother just looked. The young man had just seen the grandmother's face up close. "You ... You cough, Ken?"

"Eh?"

"Want to make chicken soup? Don't eat fritters first."

The young man was a little moved. "Eh, Grandma just go up. Let's get there soon." Ken scratched his head.

Slowly the grandmother climbed up sitting sideways.

"Handle, Grandma, fall later."

"Mk." The grandmother hugged Ken's waist with one hand. His hands are so warm.

Ken's pedaling his bike. I have never felt like I had a grandmother. Is this how it feels to have a grandmother? From his tone alone, it was clear that the grandmother loved her granddaughter very much.

"Hey!" Ken's back was patted by the old woman.

The young man looked.

"Where are we going, where's the house?" The old woman pointed towards a house that 2 houses passed by Ken.

"Oh, sorry, Grandma. Daydream." Ken smiled broadly.

The grandmother got off the bike followed by the young man. Both of them walked towards their homes. Grandma came in and opened the door. Old Japanese style houses do not have keys where almost all doors sliding doors.

They entered a large room with a short table in the middle. There were no chairs because the table was specifically for those who sat on the floor with pillows to sit on.

"Ken, you want to take a shower? Grandma's getting hot water ready, huh?"

"Eh, no effort, Grandma. Grandma's still tired. I'm just gonna rest in the room." But then, the young man was confused as there were several doors there. Which one, my room? He opened one of the first doors he saw.

"Eh, Ken. Why are you going to Grandma's room?" The old woman approached.

Complaints, Ken panicked. "Eh .. would like some cough medicine, Grandma, if there is one."

Grandma pushed Ken into the other room. "Now, don't take medication. Don't you like drugs? Your medicine is just Grandma's chicken soup and you're definitely cured. Don't you believe that?"

"Eh, yes." The young man opened the door.

"And if your room is a mess, let it go. Grandma's gonna do it after dinner." Grandma's back in the kitchen.

Ken's surprised. The room was like a broken ship. He didn't think his room was that bad. There's a book and a cela*na dal*am on the bed. The clothes were messy on the floor and the smell of cigarette smoke made the young man open the window because he could not stand the smell and coughed. How the man slept in such a messy room, Ken just shook his head.

A moment later, he tidied up the book and collected dirty clothes to wash. He took the clothes out. "Eh, Grandma. Where's the washing machine, Grandma?" he said, carrying a pile of dirty clothes in his hand.

"That's right there." Grandma pointed while gawking. Since when did his grandson care to wash his own clothes?

Ken put clothes and detergent into the washing machine and started the machine. Then he clapped his hand because it was done. "Grandmothers want help?"

"What?"

The grandmother served a variety of dishes from vegetables picked in the garden. They talked while eating together.

"Grandmother still has no money for you to go to school at the University, but hopefully the next rice harvest plus the shipment from your parents will definitely be able to pay the entrance money later. So fight to get the country?"

Ken was surprised, the person he replaced turned out to aspire to high school even though including a bad boy. He pensively for a moment. "Eh, how about I get a part-time job, Grandma?"

Ken is angry himself. Why did the person he replaced so have no feelings for his own grandmother, to have this old woman buy unnecessary items. From home to school, it's close. Can piggyback on his friend again, why should I buy a new bike?

"Just continue your father's ideals to be able to go to school at the University so you don't have to work like them. Already, you don't have to work, Ken." The grandmother patted the young man on the table.

Ken is getting angry. It turns out that entering the University is also not of your own desire. What if the young man he replaced was the ogah-ogahan school, considering the young man was also not smart. He may not have passed the university entrance exam while the money on his hands had run out. Ken thought about it.

"It's okay, Grandma. I can study with friends enough, no need to take tutoring."

"But you're not going to graduate from college, Ken, baby, are you?"

It is even more dear that his parents' money is wasted free of charge. He had to make sense to help the family's economy because Ken's son was so useless. "I'm going to try, Nek works part-time and learns."

"Originally you don't get sapped, Ken."

"No, Grandma."

The grandmother with a gentle look from her old face doubted her grandson's words.

"No, Grandma, really." The young man grabbed the old woman's rough hands all day long and clasped them tightly.

"Booos ...!" The pink-haired young man again preceded Ken's bike.

"What's Hideo." Ken smiled to see the behavior of the young man who was both pink-haired was circling in front of him because he was riding his bike slowly.

"So you're going home from school, boss."

"So what?"

"Anger SMA below that later in front of the alley?"

"Huh?" Ken stopped his bike in surprise.

"Hey, Boss. Why stop?" Hideo.

"Today?"

"Yes. 'And we made a deal with that thug over there."

Jeez ... How is this? I can't fight. Sure ... lose.

"What does it have to be today?" ken asked as he pedaled his bike away from the young man.

"What's the matter, boss? Going courtship?"

"What?" Ken was surprised and stopped.

"Yes, same girlfriend, boss."

"Pa-boyfriend?" Ken can hardly believe the guy he replaced has a girlfriend.

"Yes, Yukie. The girl who just worked at the front bar." The young man pointed at the bar not far away.

Ken's getting mad but he doesn't know how to get his anger out. He clenched both hands in front of his face. "WHY IS YOUR HAIR THE SAME AS MINE!!!"

The young man was shocked but only for a moment. "Eh, just a prank, boss. Yes, tomorrow I change the purple, let it be the same as Akibara." Then Hideo pedals his bike casually ahead of Ken. "So today's date with Yukie huh? Ok, I'll let people know."

Uh .. why is my head getting dizzy with this guy. Why have the same name but trouble me? Heh, want me to ce*kik it feels that guy, Ken looks anxious.
