Event 80: Shimizu Family (3)

"My parents do not know about our relationship since neither of them has contact with me" Haruta said finally "About my father I did not see him for several years and I do not remember the last time we spoke so it can be considered that he abandoned me Luckily, on the other hand, my mother passed away when I was a child and I don't think I can give an opinion about the relationship between the two at the moment "

"As for the house, it turns out to be a good that my grandfather left for me, they do not have to worry about the space since the house is spacious enough for a hundred people to live," said Haruta, recalling the entire space that the house contained in its entirety.

The facial expressions on the members of the Shimizu family became a bit grim as they did not expect that context in the family history of their younger daughter's boyfriend.

Since he had entered the house Haruta seemed like the son of someone important and seemed to have a lot of money so everyone took a bad attitude towards Haruta, everyone judges him only by his attitude full of confidence.

"I'm sorry I asked something like that" said Mr. Shimizu as he lowered his head slightly in front of Haruta as a symbol of respect towards the other party hoping that the latter had not been offended.

"You don't have to worry Mr. Shimizu, it really isn't something that bothers me" Haruta said making Kiyoko's father raise his head "I'm really a little grateful that my father never came for me ... I learned many things by my account, things that a father cannot always explain "Haruta said scratching his cheek with his index finger.

Kiyoko's mother got up from her post and hugged Haruta from the back stroking the black-haired man's hair, who was completely surprised with the action of the woman "I don't know your whole story but I'm sure you had to go through many bad times without there being Someone to comfort or support you, it really must have been difficult for a young man like you "said Mrs. Shimizu, the warm embrace of the lady accompanied by her kind words left Haruta surprised.

"I understand that Totsuki is not a school where everyone can be graduated but you were transferred from school, not to mention that Kiyoko always mentions that she hears people calling you Zao Shen as the god of gastronomy," Lord Shimizu told Haruta. some of the things that I already knew about the black-haired man "For someone with such a striking title, I don't think you have been expelled but rather cheated, they took advantage of the absence of someone to protect you and played against you"

Haruta's eyes were wide as saucers, soon memories arose in her mind as she remembered Azami Nakiri's expression when none of the judges tasted Haruta's food instead they announced that Azami was the winner without even having cooked.

The malevolent grin on the judges' faces when they looked at Haruta scrapped, the disguised laughter of Azami Nakiri when she saw Haruta's own expression and the way he held his title out of Azami's compassion.

All those memories that were being kept deep in Haruta's heart came out at that moment, the warm embrace of a woman who caressed her as if she were a mother and the comforting voice of an adult man who did the work of a father.

For the original Haruta this was what he lacked the most in his life, but for the memories of the current Haruta this was even worse due to the memories of his past life.

A boy who grew up in the slums of New York stealing his food to subsist, begging for a little money ... a boy who learned to mature on the street without having to fall for drugs or alcohol.

That child who kept living at bay in the world with the only dream of being someone important in life to change other people's lives, a child from a low-income neighborhood with the noblest dream in the world.

For both versions of Haruta, the hug of a mother was what they needed most, the words of encouragement from a father to reinforce the mentality of the young man.

"Sniff .... Sniff" Tears began to overflow from Haruta's eyes, she could no longer contain the emotions she felt at that moment. Those people whom he had a feeling of fear for his relationship with Kiyoko right now were spoiling him as if he were his own son.

"You met a good people Kiyoko" said Shika watching as her parents hugged the young man who will be part of the family in the future.

Kiyoko was smiling as she stared at her parents, she soon remembered how Haruta jumped without fear to save her during the special training and how he always supported her in whatever he had in mind "I couldn't ask for someone better than Haruta" Kiyoko said with a smile on his face.

Minutes passed and then turned into hours in which the family talked about various things, Haruta was able to see the family photo album where Kiyoko appeared as a child and there were even some photos from high school when she wanted to be an athlete.

Soon Mrs. Shimizu entered the kitchen to cook but Haruta insisted on preparing the dinner personally so that everyone could taste why they gave him the title of Zao Shen.

As if it were lightning, Haruta's hands moved at full speed as he moved in the kitchen, in the end all the members of the Shimizu family were attentive to Haruta's movements as if he were some celebrity.

By the time the meal was ready the whole family was at the table waiting to taste what Haruta had prepared.

A few seconds passed after the food was put into their mouths, but soon everyone exclaimed, surprised by the flavor that Haruta had reached.
