Chapter 4

I woke up feeling like a heavy rock just hit my head, it really hurts big time. I was even startled when I looked around that I am not in the clinic anymore, but realizing the familiar walls and things I immediately calmed down knowing I was just in my room. Maybe Jiro sent me home while I'm still sleeping.

I looked for my phone and saw it in the bedside table. Beside it was a folded piece of paper, when I opened it...

'There's a porridge downstairs, make sure to eat it and have some rest'

I just smiled thinking how my cousin care so much to me, even though my parents died and Nana Sena has been the one who took care of me for years, my aunt and uncle has also been asking how I've been for years and their only son, Jiro, which is my cousin has always been taking care of me though in a subtle way.

I reached for my phone and called him.

"Hey Lei, you okay now?"

"I just have a mild headache but I'll be okay...don't worry, thank you for the porridge couz hehe"

"What?" I knotted my forehead when he asked that. Did he just forget he cooked me porridge awhile ago?

"The porridge, you cooked porridge for me right? You even left a note" I confusedly said to him. I heard faint cusses in the background and some words I can't clearly hear.

"Hey, Jiro you there?"

"Y-yes,yeah haha the porridge, r-right" He answered in an awkward tone and even stuttered.

"Yeah, thanks for that again" I am now heading to the kitchen and saw the porridge in the table. The house is so quite and I haven't saw Nana yet. Maybe she's out to some some stuffs.

"Oh okay, it's okay couz...well... I have to hang up now, we'll be having practice minutes from now, you should have some rest okay? I'll just excuse you to your teachers, its just festival week, you don't have activities to do." He said in a serious tone.

"Okay, I understand...bye couz take care" I said and then hang up the call.

I just sighed and looked again the porridge. I get a spoon and tried it, it was so delicious. I didn't know Jiro can cooked so good like this.

I enjoyed my porridge and finished it just exactly when I saw Nana Sena opened the frontdoor.

"Oh, you're awake now, I bought some vegetables with me...you should eat foods like this to make you stronger and boost your immunr system. You're always eating those junkfoods and fastfoods it's not healthy to eat that often." She is starting her daily sermon again.

"Nana~" I just smiled and went to her, hugging her from the back as she was busy piling the vegetables in the kitchen counter.

"Hmp, you're doing that again, don't use that cute stints on me now, Jiro told me what happened to you yesterday...I told you no silly antics right? Why did you ended up bruised again?" He even pointed her forefinger in my forehead while narrowing her eyes. I pouted and tighten my hug at her.

"It was just an accident Nana, she just didn't saw her way because of so much people around and she's also enjoying looking anywhere and I was busy looking at the foods I'm holding too that's why we accidentally bumped each other." I explained. I don't want to think about what happened yesterday. It would just make me sad.

I felt Nana held my hands that is resting in her belly.

"You know I treasured you the most Lei right? Your my only memory of my son and your mom...please be strong and take care of yourself, I will not be by your side forever. Time will come, I'll have to leave." She said
