"Ax quickly get up and get ready, we'll go meet your grandparents." Lexia woke up her sleepy son.
"Mom, please 5 minutes, OK." Axe said while covering his head with a pillow.
"Wake up, or today I'll take you to Uncle Xaphier's house, now !" His order.
"Ugh, ok mom." Ax now sits on his bed, scratches his head and immediately gets off his bed walking and into the bathroom.
Lexia was ready and now sat down for breakfast.
"You're going, baby?" Said Daren just arrived from his morning jog. She kissed lexia and sat down next to him.
"I'm going to Kenzo's Grandpa's and Grandma's funeral, I'm taking Axton with me." Her speech.
Daren raised his eyebrows. "She's leaving?" Said doubtful. "How could the bored Ax have complied with your wishes?"
Lexia smiled obliquely. "If he didn't come along I told him I'd take him to Xaphier's mansion, and he immediately succumbed to my first attack, Xaphier's name was quite potent as well for those three wayward children."
Axton came down the stairs, he gave a kiss of good morning to his father and mother, after which he sat down for breakfast with them.
"Mom, after I joined Mommy, I wanted to meet Dazon and Daneil at the clu. I mean at the library, we had a study plan together." Said Ax while looking at the situation before him.
"really? I happen to want to go to the library with Nara and Lovelia."
Ax glared and did not believe his mother's words.
"C'mon mom, ok I won't lie, I just want to hang out with them, we don't do weird things mom." Axe meant it.

Jalan Santiago 87 Street The south direction is a fairly crowded area crossed by pedestrians, where a row of traders are there ranging from truck food, fruit sellers to florists. Today Fairley accompanied her mother to the sale because on holidays like this Fairley's work was not too much, only the restaurant at that time was open but Fairley would work half a day only.
"Mom, rest let me serve the buyer, she said Mrs Luci wanted to talk to mom." Fairley.
"really?" tanyakanya.
"Yes mom, she's been waiting for you since."
"Then I'll go for a minute, watch Fairley's shop." Said the mother.
At 09:00 in the morning, the pedestrians are not so crowded, Fairley sitting in front of his shop selling various types of flowers that have been arranged beautifully, he said, her mother loved flowers so much that she arranged them herself, so when she first arrived in the city she decided to sell flowers.
A black luxury car stopped there for a while. Their car is so striking in a simple place on Santiago street that only pedestrians visit.
"Go down and buy me flowers, mommy will bring your grandparents flowers." Lexia said to her son.
"Just tell her Mom." Axe pointed at the driver. Lexia looked at her son slightly glaring with her hands preparing near Ax's ears.
"Ok mom I'll go." Axe said then out of the car, after that look right and left looking for a florist. His eyes were immediately fixed on a small shop with flowers piling up and assortment. He crossed the road and went straight to the place.
"Give me that flower." Ax pointed at the red rose with a beautiful flower arrangement, without looking at the seller, Ax saw an assortment of flowers there.
"It's appropriate to go visit a funeral?" Ask.
Fairley took out two rose bouquets and immediately tied them up. "Anything may be as long as the dead when they were alive like this flower, although red roses are not necessarily suitable to be brought to the cemetery.
"So, what flowers do you think are appropriate." Asked, he glanced briefly at his sellers.
"This white lily is also suitable to be brought to sir's funeral in comparison to this red rose." Answer Fairley.
"Sir?" Axe said in disbelief, he folded his hands staring ferociously at the little brown-haired girl standing before him.
"Do I look like 'Sir', I'm not much different than you." Axe was upset. Fairley didn't care about it - she just took two sets of white lilies and tied them up without poking Axton's words.
"Hey you hear me?" he asked, once again staring at Fairley while shaking her waist. Fairley furrowed her nose, again ignoring Ax's irritated words.
"Everything's 14 bucks." Fairley told Ax.
'This girl doesn't care what I say?' mumbling slowly.
"14 dollars sir." Said Fairley then looked at the face of Ax who now looks scary because of his glaring eyes.
"Hey you're blind huh, do I look old? why do you always call me sir?" said it.
"Give me 14 bucks if you want these lilies." Fairley again ignored Axe's protest.
"I don't buy in a place where sellers are as rude as you." Axe said irritatedly. Fairley did not take a headache with Ax anger she put the lily back in place and sat back down while playing her phone.
"Ck, this girl, just be careful" said Ax while watching the seller lined up there, he walked in search of other florists but unfortunately along the way only food trucks and coffee trucks and newspapers and magazines and other accessories were available.
"Why the hell mom goes to a strange place like this, there are many fancy florists elsewhere" said Ax annoyed, exasperated, finally she returned to Fairley's place after walking for a few minutes and her phone rang, lexia nagging Ax who left for too long.
"Hey, give me those lilies." He returned to Fairley's tavern and pointed at the lily that was no longer there, he did not look embarrassed or feel guilty after saying Fairley in a rude manner.
"It was bought." Fairley said exasperatedly.
Axe looked annoyed at him, he turned his body while grumbling then approached his mother's car. Ax opened the car door and saw the astonished two lilies on his mother's lap.
"Where have you been Ax, you've been out for almost 15 minutes just to buy flowers?" lexia.
"Blame the seller mom, he's so rude, only this time I see such a rude girl."
Lexia looked at her son. "Aren't you the one who was rude to him? after all the time the mother bought in her place, the girl was very friendly to the mother." Said lexia.
"It's almost noon we'd better leave now." The car drove by and passed by the Fairley tavern standing there smiling kindly to the buyer.
Axe looked at her then clucked and went back to get rid of his gaze elsewhere, he was unwilling to deal with the flower-seller girl, he thought.

They arrived at a corner of Manhattan, where Grandpa and Grandma Kenzo's much-loved lexia cemetery was buried, she placed the two flowers on top of their belly button and squatted in front of her, while Ax was standing behind his mother staring at the navel in front of him.
"Grandfather, my grandmother brought my son Ax here so he could meet you guys, he's a handsome boy isn't he?" smiling at Lexia, then wiping away the tears that fell on her cheeks, Axe looked at his mother.
'Grandma and Grandma Kenzo? why didn't Caesaar's grandfather tell him about them, after all his father's grandfather and grandmother had died, so who was Kenzo's grandfather and grandmother?' Mumbled Ax. He looked at his mother who looked sad.
The two of them were now in the car, they were going to find a place to have lunch at the restaurant. "We go to Town city, I love the food there, it's cheap and it tastes really good, you've definitely never tried it." Lexia is excited.
"cheap?? What would it taste like if the food was cheap Mom? we can go to our hotel and eat there alone, the food there is guaranteed delicacy continues quality and cleanliness is also guaranteed."
"Close Axton's mouth, or mom's gonna get down here and we're gonna eat at that roadside food truck." Threaten Lexia to her son.
With a lethargic face and surrender, Ax finally followed his mother's will. They both stopped at one of the city centers in Asia Town, there neatly lined up all kinds of food and drinks from the Asian country, lexia had been here once with Edo a long time ago, he said, he bought lexia Sphagetti Seafood which is so delicious.
"It looks like this place." Said Lexia staring at the large bowl-shaped picture containing Noodles that look faded.
"Mom sure you want to eat in this place, it looks like 60 to 70 percent of us will have stomach pain after eating in this place." Axe scrunched his forehead. Lexia immediately pulled her son inside.

It was almost noon, Fairley immediately told her mother that she was going to work at uncleJhon's restaurant soon, she was pedaling her bike quickly. About 15 minutes he finally arrived at the restaurant and immediately got ready to wear his apron and gloves to immediately wash the dishes, visitors this time not so crowded, and not so crowded, lexia was in no hurry to wash his dishes.
After the dishes were done, he immediately piled up the trash and threw it in the garbage dump. Lexia wiped her sweat, suddenly her eyes were fixed on the figure of the man at the end of the street alley, it seemed like he was hiding from someone. Fairley did not care much about the man, she then picked up her bike and immediately passed the man wearing a black suit with his hair looking messy.
"Hey, hey you !" Call her.
Fairley turned around and it turned out that the guy who bought the flowers, it seemed like he was hiding from someone.
"You.you again !" Axton said in surprise, he pointed at Fairley while peeking out from the end of the road. "Hey, if you see a woman looking for me, tell her you don't see me and....
"He's there, madam." Fairley said she saw a beautiful woman looking for someone. He just pointed at Ax who was hiding behind the wall.
"You want to play hide-and-seek with Ax's mom?? how about we play it at Uncle Xaphier's??" Lexia pulls Axe's ear.
"Mom, mom Ouch, okay okay I'm wrong Mom." Ax said while enduring the pain, her tall body should she subdue a little to compensate for her mother's height. His eyes now turned to Fairley.
"You ! Just watch out, I'll have my revenge !" He said as he got into the car due to lexia's push on his son. Lexia immediately got into the car, while Ax stared glaring through the car window at Fairley who pulled one eye down and stuck out her tongue, she then paddled her bike, not caring about the annoyance of Ax staring at him from a distance.

His body stretched out on the bed, hitting his bed, Ax recalled once again the face of the annoying girl, because she Mom did not let me out to the club. "Buck, watch out for him." Axe plays his phone. Suddenly his phone rang, he picked it up.
"Hemm, the two boys finally called me." Axe then answered the phone from Dazon
"Why are you guys so long, come quickly, pick me up and tell my mom we're going to study group together." Ax.
"I can't, my dad's in a stupid house, you think I can escape this house if my dad's at home? you came here to pick me up."
"Goodbye, Dazon, I give up on meeting your father." Axe immediately turned off his phone and called Daneil again.
"Where are you Neil?" tanyakanya.
"i'm learning now" he said stiffly.
"Stop the crap about studying now and pick me up at the mansion, I'm so bored."
"I can't, my grandfather is behind me talking with my father, and there are guards on my left and right."
"Ok ok close the phone." Axe said, he now tried to close his eyes but the image of the annoying girl now shone on his head.
"He works at that place? he also worked at the florist's office." Axe said as he folded his hands and began to look for ways to reply to the little girl.

Fairley came home from work the following afternoon after visiting several cafes to apply for jobs, although no one was willing to accept her because of her age in high school and they could not accept being her workers, unlike if he had finished school or in college, they would have accepted workers over the age of 18, while Fairley was still 17 years old.
Fairley exhaled, she looked back at the fragile beige house and remembered that soon the rent would be due while what they had collected was not enough to pay the rent this time.
Fairley sat alone in front of his yard, thinking of ways to supplement his money that was still lacking a few dollars.
"Have you gone home?" he said he walked slowly and peeked out from behind his window. "Mom hasn't come home yet, good, I'd better try again to visit some cafe who knows one of those cafes accepts me."
