After Hour

Part 4 - Something that hidden...

"Chiirp chirp!"

Morning has come, the sunlight from Mr. Sun went throughly from the window and brighten a half inside the room. Watanabe Risa opened her eyes slowly because the sunlight hits her eyes.

As she woke up she look at her side, there is no Manaka next to her. Usualy when they sleep together, Risa always the one who wake up earlier than Manaka.
"Is she woke up early?" mumbled Risa.

Risa get off from the bed and mirrored herself. She fixed her bed hair and go down from their room to kitchen. As she arrived there, she find Manaka wearing a black t-shirt and brown short pants is eating the biscuits.

"What are you doing here?" asked Risa as she approaching Manaka and sit on a chair next to Manaka.
"Hng? Oh, Risa! Morning!" greeted Manaka happily.
"You wake up early?" asked Risa again.
"Yeah, do you want some biscuits?." Manaka offered Risa a biscuit.
"Hm What time did you wake up?" asked Risa ignored the biscuit.
"Around 6? I forget.." said Manaka.

Risa sighed then she stand up to wear an apron. Manaka look at Risa confusely why Risa sighed.
"Hm? Is there something wrong?"

"Why don't you wake me up? I can clean the house first."
"You look so tired so I don't want to wake you up. About cleaning the house please don't worry. I already swept the floor, clean the windows. All left only our room." said Manaka smiling.
"Really?"
"Yeah! You don't believe me that I clean the house?"
"Hmm.. kinda.."
"Hee.. I woke up early and cleaned the house 'till hungry but Ricchan didn't believe me.. I better wake up late next time." sighed Manaka.
"It's not like that. You are rarely clean the house right? So it's kinda uncommon to see you cleaned the house by yourself. Now I'm going to make a breakfast. You better go upstairs and clean our bed." said Risa.
"Eeh why me... I'm tired Ricchaaannn.. " complained Manaka.
"Just go and clean the bed. If you don't there is no breakfast for you."
"Eeh.. okay okay.." said Manaka give up and she go upstairs to their bedroom.

Manaka cleaned their bedroom while Risa is cooking for breakfast. After cleaned the bed, Manaka walked outside their room and stared at the door in front of their room. That door was Manaka parent's room. The room has been locked for a long time by Manaka. She sealed that room to not make her feel sad again by remember what caused her parents died.

But suddenly Manaka felt she miss her parents. She shook her head to not thinking about her parents but it didn't stop her to not approaching the room. Manaka touched the door, there is a feeling to open the door. Without thinking more she went back to her room and took a key in a drawer. Manaka inserted the key to unlock her parent's room. When she unlocked it, she opened the door slowly and she look around inside her parent's room.

It is only an ordinary room with a double bed, cupboard, a mirror desk, a desk where her father used to do his work and bookshelf near the corner wall. Some photo were framed on the wall but it was unclearly be seen because of thick dust.

As Manaka entered the room, her foot was full with dust because this room is never touched for a year.
"Ugh, too much dust.. Should I clean this room too?" said Manaka to herself.

Manaka walked to the desk, on top of the table there are some books that her father used to read. There are lots of psychology books and a few of novels.
Manaka took a psychology book and she blew the dust that covered the book that she took. The book titled How to Control Your Emotions made Manaka smiled lightly.

"Papa really love this book..."

Manaka opened the book but she was surprised because there is a key inside. The paper of the book was cut in the middle into square to put the key. She took the key and questioning herself. What is this key?
