Chapter 40
I feel someone shaking me awake. I saw their hands away.
"Leave me aloneeeee," I wail.
"Naya, wake up, we're going to land in Tokyo airport." I sit up immediately.
"We're going to land?? YAY!!! I can't believe we're here!!" I excitedly squeal. I crush him in a hug.
"Thank you so much for bringing me here!!" I think he was a little surprised, but he wraps his arms around me too.
"Anything for you, Naya." I blush.
I quickly fasten my seatbelt, and before I know it, we are walking into the airport. I look around in awe. I've always wanted to come here. It's such a beautiful country.
We go through the passport check and we are greeted by Japanese people.
(A/N I don't actually know Japanese, I'm using google translate, pls comment if it's wrong grammar/vocab or smth pls, I don't wanna offend anyone, and I think its such a cool language!)
"Konichiwa madam to sa,"
Translation: Hello, Ma'am and Sir
"Konichiwa," I greet them.
"You know Japanese?"
"Yep! I took an online course in high school." I explain. He nods his head in understanding.
"Nihongo no madamu o hanashimasu ka?" They ask.
Translation: do you speak Japanese ma'am?
"Sukoshidesuga amari yoku arimasen" I reply.
Translation: a little bit, but not very well.
Noah looks completely lost. They switch to english.
"Welcome to Tokyo! I hope you enjoy your stay in our beautiful country!" They say, their thick accents highly evident, and they wave goodbye to us. We walk outside to get a cab.
"I didn't know you knew Japanese," He says, looking surprised.
"Yeah, I did, haha." I say, a little embarrassed.
"Can you speak any other languages?"
"Hindi, Spanish, Telegu, and a little bit of Kannada," I tell him.
"Wow, that's very impressive!" He compliments.
"Haha, thank you. What about you? Do you speak any languages?"
"I took Spanish in High school, but i know a bit of mandarin as well,"
"Wow, that's so cool!"
"It's not a big deal, haha."
"Mandarin is such a cool language!" I gush.
"It's pretty hard, but it is a nice language." He tells me. A cab pulls over. An elderly man is driving the car. We put our bags in the trunk and climbed inside.
"Konnichiwa, watashinonamaeha itoshigo desu, Tōkyō e yōkoso" He greets us.
Translation: Hello! My name is Aiko, welcome to Tokyo!
"Kon'nichiwa Aiko! Watashi wa shanayadesu. Kore wa noadesu. Amerika kara hōmon shite imasu." I reply to him.
Translation: Hello Aiko! I am Shanaya, and this is Noah. We are visiting from America.
Aiko greets Noah. I snicker at Noah's confused expression.
"Shazai Aiko, noa wa nihongo ga hanasenai tte iu no o wasureta," I tell Aiko.
