Miss Maid

Load, Birthday Gifts

The afternoon before Ryuuga's small birthday celebration for Nanami, he was busy visiting various shops in Tokyo to find the most fitting gift for his second mother.

"What should I look for? What do I deserve? Well, I'm so confused." This time Naoki was inside a clothing store in a shopping mall. She was holding one of the tosca-colored knee-length dresses patterned with cherry blossoms. Beautiful, but somehow he felt the gift was less memorable. In fact, he realized that Nanami would not dispute his gift even he did not ask for it from himself or Ryuuga.

"Did I just call Ryuuga? Maybe on this special day, she'll be kind to me." Naoki immediately grabbed his cell phone in his pants pocket and called Ryuuga.

"Hello Ryuuga?" hello Naoki

"Hn, what's wrong?" ask Ryuuga

"You've prepared a gift for aunt Nanami, right? What are you gonna give him?"

"It has. None of your business. Just find the right one yourself. I won't tell you at all."

"It's so bad anyway. Yes it is."

Naoki immediately disconnected his phone. He ruffled his hair in frustration at not getting an idea. Then, he chose to get out of the clothing store and looked around looking for an interesting store in his eyes but nil. Everything looks ordinary. Nothing special at all.

"Aarrghh I should have been looking for a gift a long time ago but why should I forget anyway? It sucks." he beat his head repeatedly, cursing himself.

        Today is a working holiday. Sienna decided to dispel the anxiety of her heart by spending time alone in Izumi's apartment. He sat near the balcony while enjoying the cool and cold morning breeze. I don't know how many times he sighed.

"I have to how? Take it or not?" his murmur was as soft as talking with a gust of wind passing from his window.

         Sienna's phone rang again. He immediately grabbed his cell phone which was on the table and saw who called him. Yeah, that's his house phone number in the village. Unlike usual, this time he received a call with a slightly throbbing heart and a thumping heart. He felt like he was going to get some bad news.

"Moshi-moshi?"

"Sister, it's Haru."

"Yes, what's up Haru-chan?"

"Sir, yesterday kaa-san went back to the hospital due to a very high fever, Ruka's aunt accompanied her."

Deg

His heart was completely muddled as well as his mind. He didn't know what to say, now his body is so limp.

"kaa-san why?"

"Now that it's winter, kaa-san always seems to feel cold. But sis..."

"Tell me what you want to say."

"Hospital fees are very expensive because Kaa-san also has to be extra hospitalized. Aunty can help but not all the costs she can bear."

"Souka. I'll pay the rest."

"Hontou's? Daijoubu, huh?"

"Daijoubu yo, Haru-chan."

"I hung up on him."

"All right."

How broken his heart must be to hear such bad news. For a moment, he was annoyed at the circumstances that never sided with him. For a moment, he wanted to think about himself, just one day to relax to unwind, but dear... His job as a substitute for his father should not stop.

         Sienna sat languidly on her bed, looking down at the floor of her apartment. Unknowingly, her tears were flowing. All his heart's feelings are breaking. Then he laid his body down, staring blankly at the ceiling of the apartment.

"I think I still have a little more time, but it seems Kami-sama has even more exciting things for me." he muttered with a smile when his heart was very sore, her tears would not stop flowing. Nothing can be used as a place to lean. He cannot be weak, he must be strong for the survival of his family.

"I have to how.." her lips trembled trying to hold back the cry. She really hated her neat self like this. If only one person could listen to him, he would be very grateful.

        At night, around 8 pm Naoki and Arata had arrived in front of Ryuuga's mansion. The two of them were busy chatting with the carton bags in each other's hands.

"Cong, Arata. What did you give Aunt Nanami?" ask Naoki

"Should I tell you? You'll see it later too." replied Arata casually

"Well.. I don't know why I feel like my gift is the worst." Naoki muttered with a faint smile

Ryuuga opened the door home– error, more precisely Mansion. Naoki, who was indeed a confident person, immediately embraced Ryuuga.

"Hey, guys~!!" greet Naoki with a wide grin

"disgusting." Ryuuga let go of Naoki's hand violently

"It's so bad." ketus Naoki while pouting

"Where's aunt Nanami?" ask Arata

"He was sleeping in his room. I'll wake you up when we're ready." Ryuuga replied.

Ryuuga closes the door and invites them into the house. It took 10 minutes to get to the second floor of his mansion, and it took another 3 minutes to get to Ryuuga's room.

'Had Ryuuga been very lazy to leave his room.' Inner Arata who felt a little bored because it took some time to get to Ryuuga's room.

They had already arrived in front of Ryuuga's room which had a carving of his name. Really very grand and luxurious. Even Ryuuga's room was arguably as big as Arata's house. After the big door was opened, Arata could see the contents of his room. Ryuuga room paint is given a navy color and matching room curtains. The masculine scent really strengthened from his room, a king-size bed with bone-white sheets and all the neatly arranged items except the contents of his closet were very messy.

"Oi, the closet is disturbing the scene" Arata said suddenly as he pointed at her

"Eh? Whatchu mean?" Naoki followed the direction of Arata's index finger and seconds later he held back his laughter

"I'm trying to give my best performance on aunt Nanami's birthday." Ryuuga said with a face met with embarrassment. He immediately closed the door of his closet and let his two friends sit on the sofa.

"Quickly prepare. Aunt Nanami won't sleep for long" said Ryuuga, who was picking up her birthday gift and calling the waiter through a bell that had been provided in her room.

"Not once was your life." muttered Arata with a flat face

"What do you mean?"

"Everything you need is fulfilled well." replied Arata while staring at Ryuuga whose facial features have changed 180° since he said something about the treasure he has.

Tok tok tok tok tok tok

"Excuse me, Ryuuga-sama. I've brought her the cake." call one of the servants who has been standing at the door of her room.

They went straight out of the room and immediately went down to the first floor and went towards Nanami's room which was near the kitchen. After everything was ready and all the servants working in the mansion gathered together, Ryuuga finally knocked on Nanami's room door.

       

        Not long after, the door creaked and revealed a female figure with her usual neat clothes and appearance. Nanami is shocked when Ryuuga and the others stand at her door and give her a happy birthday chant. He looked at Ryuuga who was carrying his birthday cake with a look of disbelief. Finally, she cried when she saw that everyone loved her so much.

         They spend the night with Nanami. When it was time to give Nanami a gift, Ryuuga asked all the servants to leave from there and leave the three men with Nanami. Arata gives his card first.

"This is for you, ba-san. I can't give you a good gift, I'm sorry." said Arata as he offered his small gift.

"It's okay, son. I also did not ask you to give me a gift, I am very grateful.." replied Nanami with a sincere smile on her face. Nanami instantly opened the little gift and pulled it out. A beautiful dress that was very graceful and appropriate for her age, the milk-brown dress was really very beautiful in Nanami's eyes. "Thank you very much, son.. I really like her.."

"Thank God that ba-san likes my little gift." Arata smiled

Now it was Naoki's turn to give the gift to his second mother. He with an anxious face, thrust his gift in front of Nanami.

"Ba-chan, I'm sorry. I forgot your birthday and I didn't get the best gift." Naoki said with a sad face

"Will a mother ask on condition of her own son?" asked Nanami who was smiling gently at him

"Hehehe now open, hope you like it ya ba-chan~!!" naoki said with excitement.

Nanami also opened a gift from Naoki and took out a pair of shoes that turned out to be the same color as the gift dress from Arata. It's exquisite.

"Thank you very much, son.. I like her a lot." Nanami said with a happy smile

"Yokatta's..." Naoki heaved a sigh of relief

Now it was Nanami's turn to give her a gift. Honestly, Nanami really does not want her master to always give gifts every birthday. However, Ryuuga would definitely be furious if what he wanted was even banned.

"Open up." Ryuuga said with a faint smile

"Well, Ryuuga-sama.."

Nanami immediately opened the small red box and bought in shock when she saw the contents. A very beautiful heart-shaped necklace. He opened his heart and there was a picture of him hugging little Ryuuga in his lap, their smiles looking very sincere in the photo.

"I hope you don't forget me. You are my mother." Ryuuga said

"Ryuuga-san..." Nanami looked up at Ryuuga and shed happy tears. "Hontou ni's...Arigatou" then finally he really cried. The three men immediately embraced the old woman affectionately and spent time with her throughout the night.
