The next day, my mom and dad packed up the things we were going to take to the house we didn't know we were going to live in.
At first I felt hesitant to board the car, suddenly, “Moa-chan, let's quickly board, we have to leave immediately.” Mama's words shattered my doubts. I nodded as I climbed into the car that Papa was driving. Riding down the road we stopped by, the high low cliffs we passed, and the dry wet road that was trampled by car tires, made our trip feel faster than I thought.
As we entered the urban area of Tokyo, I was made agape by its skyscrapers. I wondered how people made that tall building that almost touched the sky, whether they planted it like when papa planted trees in the yard. I was confused by it myself.
“Are you okay, Moa-chan?” said papa surprised me who was cool to daydream.
“Emm, I'm fine.” Answer me while nodding my head.
Suddenly the car stopped at a compound, in front of a house that I thought was quite big too.
“Finally, we arrive at our new home.” Mama said with a smile at me. I smiled back without saying anything.
I got out of the car we were riding in and stood next to our car. As I glanced to the left I saw papa talking to the driver who was carrying our things. I thought back to it, which means we have arrived at our new home.
Mama approached me who was walking through the back of our car and said, “ara, doesn't this house look so big, Moa-chan?”. I nodded while smiling at my mother.
I glanced again at the papa who was walking closer to me and mama.
“From now on, Moa-chan will definitely get a lot of good friends, so Moa-chan doesn't have to worry, ok?” said papa while stroking my head.
I only returned my words with a smile while closing my eyes.
“Already, let's go in, it's very hot out here.” My mother asked me to enter our new home. I followed my mom's footsteps from behind.
“Oh yes, just wait inside, papa wants to buy ice cream first for us.” Said papa who then walked towards the driver of the carrier who had cleaned up their work transporting our goods.
Ah, maybe papa wants to pay first to the driver. I said in my heart. I continued my footsteps entering the house.
Upon entering the house, I was agape by the state of the house, I thought it was too big for us. About the house we will live in is almost 100 meters wide.
Maybe it'll be fun if I take my friends to this house to play. Thought.
I also tried to look around the house, starting from the kitchen, room, middle room, attic, to the backyard of this house. it was indeed very spacious, I said in my heart.
When I returned to the middle room, I saw that my mother was preparing to tidy up the things we were carrying.
“Mama, can I help you?” I said to my mom who was busy getting things out of the box.
“Emmm, what yes, how about bringing Moa-chan's belongings to the room?” mama replied while handing me my personal belongings.
Then I picked up my things to clean up in the room.
After I arrived at the door, I was confused myself, I thought, why are there 3 rooms, who has the other one? I said in my heart while scratching my head.
Mama suddenly approached me saying, “oh yes, mama forgot to tell you, Moa-chan's room is over here, if that room is mama's room and papa's.” Mama said while pointing towards the door in front of me and the door in the corner.
“Who's room is it ma?” I was still confused by the other room.
“Oh, that room? It's a room for guests, so we don't need to be confused if there are guests staying here.” It was obviously my mother who looked confused.
Then I went into my room and immediately tidied up my things.
After some time after I finished my work, I went out of the room and went downstairs to get some water.
When I got to the last step, I saw that my mother was still busy tidying up the kitchen utensils that were still wrapped in cardboard.
“Oh, Moa-chan turns out. Is everything all right? Mama apologizes well, mama has not finished cleaning her cooking utensils, so the food is not yet.” My mother continued her activities.
“Emmm, it's okay, after all Moa is not hungry.” My answer while taking a sitting position next to mama. “can anyone help Moa?”
“It's okay, soon mama's done too, so Moa-chan just take a break. Moa-chan also just finished tidying up Moa-chan's room ‘kan?” mama answered while wiping the last pan from the cardboard box.
I also sat on a chair in the middle room.
Moments later I heard the front door opened, I was wondering who came to our house.
“Papa go home.” Shouted from the front door.
“Mama, Moa-chan, papa brought ice cream from the store up ahead. Actually papa does not know your taste, so papa hope you like it.” Said the father who then walked over to me who was sitting with a lot of plastic bags.
Maybe you just went shopping from the supermarket, I thought.
When I opened the plastic bag, I saw that there was my favorite food in it, none other than fried nankotsu. I still remember the first time I tried this food, if not wrong when I was 7 years old. When you come home from the office you always bring this food, so I became very fond of my favorite food.
I smiled at my papa standing at me and said, “Thank you, papa.”
“Sama-sama.” Reply to me while taking a position to sit down.
After that mama approached us, “papa from where? instead of helping mama tidy up the house, even cool shopping alone.” Mama said to papa who was sitting with a slightly upset tone which then continued with a smile.
“Sorry, papa met your old office friend, then you chat with him until you forget the time dehh.” Papa answered while rubbing his head.
“Basic, papa this.” Mom said a little joke.
After that, my father suddenly looked at me. “Oh yes Moa-chan, when do you want to start school?” Ask my dad who is licking his ice cream.
Hearing papa's words just now, I suddenly felt my chest tight again and my eyes would water, but I held back because there were still mama and papa in front of me.
“Mmm, whenever possible koq pa.” my words that are not strong enough to withstand this pain.
Seeing this behavior of mine, it seems that papa is not too aware of it, if mama, may be suspicious because there is something strange.
“Then, Moa go to the room first yahh, papa, mama.” I stood up and passed from before them.
After I arrived in the room, suddenly my eyes were watering and the sense of urination became more and more. I was not strong enough to hold it down directly on the mattress and cover my face with a pillow so as not to be heard by papa and mama.
Suddenly my door was knocked and my mother's voice called out to me. “Moa-chan, are you okay? Answer, nak.” Said my mother who might have been suspicious since.
I didn't heed the question, all I did was cry while covering my face with a pillow.
“Then mama apologizes, mama comes in yes.” Mama said as she opened the door to my room.
Seeing my behavior, my mother immediately approached me and asked the situation.
“Moa-chan, are you okay?”
Hearing my mother's question, the tears in my eyes didn't stop, the more came out and my cries grew even louder.
Seeing that, my mother could only sit next to me while rubbing my head.
