Ch. 1
"Sigh.. seriously, Grandpops?". i let out a big sigh.
"What!? do you think I'm joking around with you? go pack your stuff and get the first thing in the morning, tomorrow!".
he light up his cigarette while sipping the cooking wine.
"Why!? I'm not an adult, yet you kicking me out!?". i raised my voice in anger.
Thwack!
"Argghh! it hurts!". in reflex, I'm touching my burning forehead that been hit by Grandpops cigs pipe.
"Oh you~ shut it and just do what i tell you! there's nothing you could learn anymore by staying with me".
Fwooosshh
"Nobody could teach you anyway, since you've been learning from me, the best Chef in the world! Kahahahaha~!".
Fwoooo
i looked at mt Grandpops while patting my forehead to ease the pain.
"Well, you are not wrong though. but, how can you so sure that i could not learn from anybody?".
Fwooooo
"It's just my gut feeling. and I've been watching and teaching you at the age of Four...".
he paused a bit before continuing his words.
"Come to the address that written on the paper. all i can do is teach you, and push you to take the first step".
Fwooooo
Grandpops paused again while looking at the outside, the mountain.
"I just gave you the opportunity. the decision and the desire is yours to choose".
Fwooooo
"Follow your heart and your desire, and destiny might allow you to people that you'll never forget".
he looking at me for a moment, before raising his hand to pat my head and then show his big smile towards me.
"I'm going to be lonely, but i know you can do it. since you are my Precious Grandson that won't ever give up to pick up his cooking knife".
"Grandpops..".
ah.. i almost teared up because of his words.
"Alright! i will follow your words. don't regret it if you got lonely because you can't see my, Muahahaha!".
i laughed to hide my sadness. i might miss Grandpops even tomorrow.
"That's my boy! Kahahahaha!".
Fwoooo
"Well then, Grandpops. i will pack up my stuffs and will go to sleep earlier".
i stand up from my seat, and then go to my room.
"Alright. have a nice rest, my boy!". Grandpops smiling.
.
.
Morning comes. i woke up pretty early as usual. the chicken and the birds started to make a morning noise routine.
"Yaawn~ i slept pretty well last night~!".
"Time to take a bath and eat a breakfast before we go then~!".
.
.
I was busy checking up my stuffs that i need to bring, but.. isn't the house too quiet? usually Grandpops already awake at this Hour.
If you're curious of what my luggage is, well, I've bring a few sets of clothes, shoes, sandals, my diary book, and my Cooking Knifes Set in my Suitcase.
"Grandpops! have you woken up yet?".
I've been calling him since earlier from my room. but i heard no answer. suddenly, I've got a bad feeling.
i ran out and checked Grandpops room. but I've found nothing. a few sets of his clothes and his cooking Knifes gone.
i ran out to the table, then i found a few dishes, two pieces of paper, and an envelope.
i sat down and picked up the papers. the stuff written on the paper at the top is the address that i need to go. and the other one is a letter from Grandpops.
Dear My Boy
I'm sorry i can't see you get going
I've cooked you my best Dishes as a sorry
I left you some money and the address that you need to go, at the other paper
My Boy
You just need to focus on what's in front of you
I will alway miss you, and i might as well say this now
Don't try to find me if you still doesn't have your first achievement from your company
Or i might as well, rushing towards you, and smack you in the forehead with my sandals
My Boy
Just remember all of my teaching, and you will do well
Remember, not everything could be told, and not telling doesn't mean i don't love you
Grow up well, and do your best!
I will always love you, whenever and wherever you are
PS : Pfft~ I'm going to have my sweet time since you're gone~ KAHAHAHAHAHA~!
Sincerely,
Your Grandpop Hibiki Keishou.
...
"Grrr! That Grandpop! How could you leave your one and only Grandson and go have your own sweet time!!".
Thud. clatter.
I hit the table quite hard. the plate clattering because of the shock.
"Just you wait! i will find you after i have my own achievement, even to the end of the world!". i pick up the chopsticks, and ate my breakfast while swallowing my anger.
Done with washing the dishes, i opened the envelope. there's a bank book and a Bank Card inside.
"Woah~! that Grandpops. how much is this!?".
I was shocked the moment i counted the money written at the bank book, that the Grandpops leave behind inside the envelope.
"One.. two.. three.. What the hell! it's a hundred Million Rupiah's!".
I sat up from my seat and going to my room to pick my sling bag, and put the book, the card, Phone, Charger, and my wallet inside.
"Alright! I'm ready to go! House.. Grandpops.. i will be back no matter how long it takes to make you proud!".
i left a note at the fridge for Grandpops, incase he ever going back home.
.
.
Step step step step
A heavy footstep, could be heard from afar. as the sound getting closer, at one point, the footstep sound stopped.
Smirk
"That Brat!".
from the voice, there's a hint of happiness and proud. the owner of the footstep, then goes silent.
"Kahahaha~! i will wait for it then, someday! i hope you won't take long untill you can find me. untill then, i will take my sweet time to roam around this world again, then~!".
the shadow that darken the paper, slowly getting further away. as the footstep walked away from the paper, hung at the fridge, He walked away with a big grin on his face.
at the paper, there's a words left by his Grandson for him. here is the words written on it.
" Dear Grandpa
How could you leave me before I'm going!?
Just you wait!
Your sweet time won't be too long!
I will find you soon!
Grandpop
I will find you myself and show you my achievement soon!
So, don't go hiding 'till i cant find you!
I will use every technique that you teach me, to have my own achievement soon!
PS : You better get ready, since it won't be too long' till i have my own achievement. 'till then, I'm going to miss you, Grandpops.
Regard Your One Only Grandson
