Always

ADIOS

In April, flowers are blooming... it's a different aura in the air. One night before the departure of Rosie, Misae, Rose's stepmother enter Rosie's room, "Have you packed the bags?" "Yes", Rosie replied. "Did you put the laxatives? And paracetamol? What if you get stomach upset from the dormitory's food? Also have you too-" Misae asked "Mom, don't worry! I am not a kid anymore relax," said Rosie". "So if you are going to Tokyo... does it means that your PC is now mine?" Jin asked to which Rosie replied, "Yup, but if you damage even one piece of it... then I will break your bones"

When everyone left the room and Rosie was about to sleep she realized that she forgot something, she opened her cupboard and took out the family album, chose one of the family photos, and put it into her backpack. Suddenly door knocked, "May I come in?" "Yes!" said Rosie. Akira, Rosie's father came in.

"Dad...?" said confused Rosie. "Rosie, my dear child... I know I have been a very strict father to you all these years, always scolding you over little things... I might have disappointed you as a father but you my child... you made me proud. You will be starting a new chapter of your life from tomorrow, I can't believe that you've grown so much. But always remember that you will forever be a little child for us, wherever you go ALWAYS remember that your father is with you". "O-tousan (dad)" Rose tears up and hugged her dad.

The next morning, Rosie all dolled up gets off from the car. "Good luck!" Misae said. "Sis even though you are annoying as hell... I'll miss you. You will always be alive in our hearts" said Jin "I am not dead yet, thanks though little one!" Rosie and Akira make eye contact and smile. Rosie enters the university campus, and all students around her belonged from well-known Japanese families. Rosie took a deep breath and said, "Tengoku University, here I come!"
