I woke up early today, and I got the feel to do work out, that's why I change to my sweat suit.

I was going to leave the house when I saw Sano Jiji called for me. His having a tea alone outside the balcony.

"Got me something to do Jiji?" I asked him

"Come, take a sit" he mumbled and give me a glass and pour it with the tea that he made

"I'm grateful Jiji" I thank him and gulp the hot tea. Very Hot. Almost burn my throat.

"Are you and my grandson?" He asked me, almost spit out the tea I'm drinking

"N—n-not yet, why did you even asked that? Haha" I scrambled words in mind and think of that

"You don't have to hide it from an old man like me,  why haven't you answered him yet?" He said

"I just don't know how to say it" I said honestly

"Alright I won't push you any longer, here I'll pour you tea" he pour tea and keep smiling at me

"Thank you Jiji"

I drink the tea, Jiji really make a great tea. This is my favorite.

Jiji glances at me and drink his cup of tea, "Oh that's right, where are you going early in the morning?"

"I'm planning to go running" I said showing my sweat suit

"I won't waste your time any longer, you can go now"

I drunk the rest of the tea in my cup before standing, "Thanks for the wonderful tea Jiji"

He put down the cup of his tea, "Wait for me here, I'm going to give you something, let me get it.." he said

I help him stand up when I saw him struggle, I was going to accompany him to where he was going to go but then he asked me to just wait for him and so I did.

He didn't take long. He arrives with a box in hand.

He give it to me, "its yours now"

I accepted the box and when I opened the box I saw a Jade bracelet inside, "It's beautiful, and look so expensive" I mumbled

"That's our family heirloom, I've been thinking about giving this to you for a very very long time" he said

"But why did you give it to me Jiji?" I fumed in silence

"Only Manjiro found a girl he truly loves unlike Shinichiro he haven't even met a girl yet" his answer

"Are you sure? You are willing to pass this meaningful heirloom to me Jiji?" I said very surprised

He then patted my shoulder as a sign that he was sure about his decision

"Life has turned meaningful again when you came" He got back to his sit and continue to drink his tea in a peaceful place

"I'm very happy to have this meaningful gift, I'm willing to give it a shot if this is really meant for me, thank you Jiji" I left him smiling

I put the box inside my pocket, got my phone, connect my wireless earphones and started running on the road. It's still early so there are only few people outside the road. 

Nostalgia. The wind grasp my skin as I run in moderate mode. My hair are flying freely. Every foot step I step on the ground. Every tune I hear. Every smile I see. The smell of food I passed by. The grass that fly where the wind go. Every sweat that drops. I clearly feel the morning vibe concurring me.

I barely do work out, but now it feels so great to do things I wasn't able to do before.

I stop by the ramen shop. Planned to eat breakfast. I ordered the shop's special ramen. It got me full. Leaving nothing in this big bowl of ramen. The broth, the noodles, the toppings, it really taste so good.
