It was a beautiful Tuesday in the village of Biei. I am sitting on the swing that hangs on our family tree in our backyard. I close my eyes as I swing back and forth. The flow of the air gives me an image of flying high with the eagles. The air fresh to every breath I take.
"Ren, your Papa is home!" I heard my mother call.
My vision instantly ends to my disappointment of reality. But I couldn't help feeling more joy than before knowing that Papa was home.
"I'm coming, Mama!" I sing as I jump off the swing. I dash to the backdoor and slip off my sandals before heading inside.
I close the door behind me and dash through the hallway to the front of the house.
"Ren, wash up first!" Mama scolded.
My excitement gets the best of me as I ignore what Mama told me to do. A man wearing a dark-blue suit and robe enters the end of the hallway.
"Papa!" I gasp with joy.
The man kneels down on one knee and catches me in a hug.
"Hey, sweetie!" Papa lifts me in the hug. "And how is my little girl doing?"
"Your little girl will be in trouble if she doesn't wash up like I told her to in the next five minutes." Mama appears from the kitchen in her red flower patterned cooking robe.
Papa and I look at each other.
"You better do what she says." he winks.
"Okay." I giggle.
Papa kisses my cheek. "Go wash up." he said as he sets me down.
"Love you, Papa!" I yell as I run to the bathroom to wash up.
As I turned the corner, I thought I saw Papa grip his shoulder in pain out of the corner of my eye.
