I didn't know that Aunt's waiting for me to arrive. She was the first one I saw when I arrived at in front of her house. The house really is good and the place where it is built is don't have that many neighbouring house.
The last time I saw Aunt was when the funeral of my parents and she was with her daughter. I don't know why her daughter is so irritated around me and often says she hates me and don't come near her. She's the opposite of her mother, a typical busty Japanese Mom that says 'Ara, Ara' every time some things happened.
She was the one who opened the door when I knocked. She greeted me with a pure motherly smile, so I smiled back.
"Aunt Nakamura Hayami, how are you and Kaida doing?"
I don't know what to say to her and asked randomly. It's been years since I last saw them, so I think that that's the best question I've got to say.
"Seth-kun, just call me Aunt Hayami and we're very good. Never been bad. As for Kaida, she's not here at the moment. She's with her friends"
She gave me a warm welcome and took my things. My parents' mementos will be delivered here tomorrow. I only brought my things first.
"How about you, Seth-kun, are you doing fine?"
I know that she's going to ask that and I'll just pretend that I'm okay. She might notice that I tried to kill myself, and the memories of what happened the other day, back at the apartment had crossed my mind. I unconsciously touch and covered my neck, there might still be traces of rope' mark around my neck.
"Okay then, Aunt Hayami. I'm doing great too"
That was all I said and went inside to see my room. It's a 10 square meter room, that rooms you always saw on Anime or Japanese movies, or even at JAV.
I put down all of my things I'm carrying around me and relax for a few minutes.
'I should ask Aunt Hayami, if she knows any part-time job I can apply. I'm in need of money, with all that rent's fee, I'm broke and had nothing left'
Aunt came knocking on my room's door. Oh yes, it's past noon and I haven't eaten anything. My stomach's growling, I'm famished.
"I've prepared you lunch, come here and eat. I know you haven't had anything yet"
Yes, I haven't eaten and I remember it clearly that she can cook. I'm not eating convenience store's food anymore.
"In a minute Aunt, I'll just into more comfortable clothes"
When's the last time I had a new sets of clothes or even a new shoes? I've long forgotten when it was. All I had is things that is old.
"Okay, come here when you're done"
--
"Mm, it's really good. The food is great"
We say thanks for the food before eating and we say the food's great after we're done. That's what I've always been doing.
"Ara~ it's great that you like it"
There's her ara. Let's go already and confined ourselves inside my room. I don't want to deal with her daughter.
"Aunt, I'll be going back to my room now. If you need any help just call me, I hope you'll let me help. I can't offer anything to pay your good deeds for now. I'll look for a part-time job after I sort my things"
Encountering her daughter's just a matter of time and space. I'd like to avoid it at all cost. It's because, that type of girl's the one I hate dealing with. Like, what's her deal? I'm not doing or saying anything to her and that's making her more angry. Wait, maybe she wanted me to do the opposite? Hell no, I'm not dense but I'm not confident that that's what she wants.
"You can cook right, Seth-kun? I remember you cooking. Help me do the dinner"
Ugh, I hate to do it but I can not do anything about it.
"Yes, sure"
I had already turned my back on her, on my way to my room, when I remember that I haven't said this.
"And Aunt, I'll be in your care from now on"
She smiled at me, "Please take good care of us, Seth-kun~"
Oh please no, don't say it like that. I'll get the wrong idea. I might have watched too much incest hentai, by the way I like NTR, netore was it?. Where it is the MC who do the snatching of one's girlfriend and left other bastards alone.
--
Aunt had called me, it's now time to prepare dinner. I'm being careful of my surroundings, I don't know where she is.
I arrived at the kitchen and haven't encountered her yet. Aunt was already preparing the other ingredients when I came in.
"Sushi and sashimi huh, that's good. By the way, um, Aunt, is your daughter not home?"
Sashimi is thinly sliced raw meat—usually fish, such as salmon or tuna—that is served without rice. Sushi is not raw fish, but rather vinegared rice that is mixed with other ingredients, which may or may not include raw fish.
"Yes, she'll be here before class starts. So for now, it's just the two of us~"
Again, that way of speaking. Good thing I'm always calm and collected plus my quiet demeanor.
I helped preparing dinner and we ate together. Aunt had already prepared bath and let me in first.
Warm bath feels refreshing as always. This is how my daily lives will be, everyday, the same routine. Add Aunt's daughter, it will be a disaster, for me. I'll just ignore her if she ever mouth me.
After I'm done, I headed to my room and rest already, after wiping my hair dry.
---
The same routine was repeated, everyday. Aunt took me with her, she needs a hand, helping her carry our ingredients for tonight's dinner and other basic necessities . As for my part-time job, I haven't found anything yet and I'm doing my best looking for a job, any job will do as long as it's legal.
It's the day her daughter's coming home. I'd better prepare myself, for the worst everyday of my life. Goodbye, the good old days.
We were home and Aunt opened the door. I did not anticipated this.
"Mom welcome home-"
She arrived earlier than what we expected. I hid myself behind Aunt but she still saw me.
"What's he doing here!? Mom, don't say he' living here now? I don't want that. I can't imagine living under the same house with him! Just look at him Mom, why is he like that!?"
Ouch girl, you're hurting me. Well, we're not really blood-related. I'm not her cousin, so she's not my too.
"Now, now, don't be like that to Seth-kun"
Kaida was blocking our way in. For a small... she's all small, for a small girl, she sure is an audacious girl. I'm dead ff she heard me and there will be a barrage of insults.
Can't blame her, I look pathetic and lame. I look like that MC on every hentai, where they had their hair down. Both eyes covered his hair.
I should get a cut, a trim before class starts.
---
Kaida likes to it by herself, so I'm free from her loud bravado. After I ate breakfast, I used my last money to get a haircut, it was just a trim, actually. I have it cut too since I'm getting irritated by having long hair too.
I didn't change my hair style, of course, I won't. I haven't changed it ever my parents passed away. Having a change of looks won't bring them back or give me the courage to live longer than what I have decided.
'Class starts tomorrow, oh come to think of it, I don't have my uniform. So, I'll be absent on my first day and gonna start at 2nd day. Then, I'll fetch my uniform tomorrow and look for a part time job'
I was walking back to our house when I saw Kaida, she was with one of her friends. They are dressed and look like they are going somewhere. I turned around so that Kaida would not notice me and let her pass me without a mouthful of insults.
"Eh really? Your cousin's had moved to your house and you two are living under the same roof? And isn't that how every love story begins? Kyaa~"
Kaida frowned, her face showed disapproval and somewhat disgusts because of what her friend had said.
"No way in hell! No one would like him, he looks like a hobo!"
'I can hear you two, you know. Well, can't argue with that hobo thing'
I looked at their back and turned my head away as I walked back to my new home.
