Chapter 153
I woke up early every day but never once did I catch up with Yohann.
Our personal driver takes me to my school. I’m just changing a bit now because Daddy is gone. It’s sad because I just experienced it alone. I have no one to represent and talk to every day..
I just realized how hard it is to wake up without your parents by your side.
Things happened too fast. I’m not ready to lose my Daddy. The time will come when we lose our parents. And we will face life almost alone.
No one will remind us of what we should and shouldn’t do. You will say: Son, that’s wrong!
Do not do that! Study well. Make an effort! And when you enrich yourself. Those who will tell you, child, learn to save because we are not always lucky, we have money and even if we are rich. Let’s learn to communicate with each other. Respect the elders, don’t hang out with friends because sometimes you’ll find friends who are only with you for fun but when you need them. Be alone and have no friends to touch. The day will come when we will only hear those words in our minds. And only memories of yesterday.
We are often advised, reprimanded and lectured. Our parents often remind us not so that we can learn because they have come from what we are going through.. It’s like they are coming back as we are going. They will not tell us just because they are parents and that is their obligation. Not just because they are right but
to guide us and prepare us for what may happen, so that when the day comes we will face trials and problems alone. In that way, they strengthen us, they make us work hard so that we don’t struggle with the challenges of life. We study hard so that we don’t become ignorant and it’s not difficult to find a good job.
That’s why there are parents who train their children to do housework to learn in life and to be responsible when they have their own family.
“Hey, Claudine. Are you okay?” I turned to Kuichiro. His face was worried as he asked me.
“All right.” I replied sparingly.
“Condolences.”
I couldn’t answer, because I remembered my Daddy again.
Kuichiro Takinaga is my classmate. Out of all the boys in my class, this is the closest to me.
One of the richest young men from Japan studying here in London.
“Can you still do it? You’re often an idiot every time you get in.” he noticed my anxiety.
“Yes, I’m still adjusting. It’s a bit difficult to adjust. I’m used to Dad being there.” I replied seriously.
He handed me a soda and I accepted it. We just finished our English class so we are here on the rooftop of the school to get some fresh air.
“Ah. Where do you live now? We didn’t go in together anymore.” asked Kuichiro.
“Uh? I’m not there anymore. I’ve moved.” I said seriously. He frowned at what he heard.
“Huh? Where?” Kuichiro asked. A few times I said where Yohann lives.
“In the Bachelor’s Village.” I promised, Kuichiro’s eyes widened at what I said.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“What? Which relative of yours lives there? Isn’t that exclusive?” he asked seriously. I nodded.
“I want to be able to go there even if there is a gate. I will pick you up tomorrow.” he said. I can’t refuse anymore. I need his accompaniment right now. I have to have someone to talk to every day. I’m not used to being alone. I still need to be independent.
I sighed.
“Okay. Same routine.” my answer.
Tomorrow..
Kuichiro picked me up on a motorcycle. Kuichiro was on Nmax while waiting for me. I went out of the gate and told the driver not to take me anymore, because Mang Nestor, my personal driver, had been following me for a while.
“Don’t take me. I’m fine. Kuichiro, my classmate, is with me.” I promise.
Yohann’s car passed by when I got on Kuichiro’s motorcycle. Then he drove the motorcycle to school.
We only had classes in the afternoon. And very hungry.
“Come with us to the Euro Mall later, Claudine?” Kuichiro asked during break time.
I thought about that. I don’t have anything to do at Yohann’s Mansion, so it’s better to come along.
In the afternoon..
Kuochiro, Micheli, Thalia, Asher and Yorrick went out together. I rode with Kuichiro to the mall again. It runs so fast that I’m happy. Because there’s a thrill when it’s fast compared to slow.
We ate first before we wandered around the branded stores.
“Are you all right, Claudine?” they asked. I nodded.
“Yes. I’ll be fine forever and ever.” I said seriously.
I sleep better now than before. It was very difficult because every time I closed my eyes, I remembered my memories with Daddy. Because my Mommy died a year after I was born, so I’m closer to Daddy.
We went to Quantum and played arcade games and stuff.
“Kuichiro is such a cheat! He’s so good at gun firing! Loser!” Yorrick complained. We laughed.
“You’re just rotten, Rick. You don’t want to admit it.” Thalia laughed annoyed.
“Your face is rotten!” Yorrick replied curtly. The two teased and we just let them. We liked it there. All of us girls were given by the boys the stuffed toys they shared. Thalia and I are the three of us.
We also had dinner there at a restaurant in the mall.
I went home at night. It was nine o’clock when Kuichiro dropped me off in front of the Bachelor’s Village gate.
“Thank you very much, chiro. I enjoyed it so much.” I said smiling. Somehow the sadness that I feel is really relieved somehow.
I entered inside the gate and went straight to Yohann’s Mansion. It’s safe here inside so no problem. I also walked for almost 12 minutes before arriving at Yohann’s Mansion.
When I went inside, the lights were already dim. It means he is resting. I just walked slowly and I was halfway up the stairs when I heard his baritone voice.
“Why are you late, Claudine?” His voice asked coldly. I almost jumped in shock at what I heard. My heart was so nervous at that time. His voice was scary and seemed to be angry.
