The First Night In Nihon

POV : Florian Axel

Evening twilights, the sky was ablaze with the fire of setting sun. I walked towards my new home in the apartment. Brother Ken said that he is on his way towards the apartment as he is a high school teacher he had just left the school.

Soon I reached the given address on the 2nd floor. As I opened the door of my empty apartment , within no time my luggage and the ordered furniture had arrived a young man probably in his twenties came to me to inform me bout the arrival . most of the labour was being done by the workers , I merely had to supervise where to keep them . meanwhile i saw a mid aged women with brown hair and eyes .she carried a grey handbag full of vegetables and few other stuffs suggests that she is indeed a house wife. she walked across the staircase and through the hall ways and stood near the door right next to my room . She looked at me and gave me a warm smile. I smiled back at her and greeted her.

"Hello Ma'am!!! I am Florian Axel, I am your new neighbour"

"Oh so you are new here !!! , I am Yuika , I live here with my husband and my daughter , nice to meet you Axel" she said with a delighted, smiling face slowly taking out the keys from her pocket.

"We have a bakery nearby , please stop by from time to time "

"sure I will "

" Okay ill see you later Axel , bye " she said and she unlocked the door and went inside so do I.

Finally the last of the few boxes were carried and settled inside by the workers and the same young man who informed me earlier asked me to sign the papers for the confirmation that the belongings had been successfully delivered to its owner. In the end we barely made it in time as the pale moon shone like a silvery claw in the sky and the sky turned pinkish signifying the long tiery day is now over. It's finally starting to get dark. I can see the street lamps lighting up and the skyscrapers and residential areas lighting up the city and vehicle lights filling the streets like yonder fireflies . The whole of Tokyo lighted up beautifully as if to lighten and brighten up the lives of the people living within the city. A freezing cool wind pierced my skin no wonder we're very close to the winter. Feels like i am losing myself to the wonderful scenery.

As Me and my brother Ken reached his place Nana San greeted us with a brilliant smile Ken instantly forgot that he's actually tired and started doing his usual chores . I was surprised to know that Ken and Nana San had planned a welcome party for me beforehand so we really had fun in the end . Later on after the dinner Nana San cleaned the kitchen while Ken cleaned the utensils . I was in the living room when i noticed a beautifully covered small book. I had a peek into the book and it turned out to be a photo album which and the photos of Ken and Nanako Dan's marriage . I slowly scrolled through the photos as i quietly sat down on the sofa .

"You see i really wish if you were there !!!, if you were there during Ken and my marriage my happiness would have been double"

" Nana San , I wanted to come as well but i was compelled " i said while my head gently bowed down .

"I know it very well my lil bro " she said patting my head .

Today I met Nanako San for the first time but it didn't seem like we were meeting for the first time at all. It was as if we knew each other for a very long time.The moment i entered the house she instantly accepted me like her very own child. Tonight when i lay down in the bed i recalled everything that happened so far today and i felt relieved , This is how i spent my first day in Tokyo and got to spend my first night in Nihon.
