70 Safety Training (2/2)
After the students had lined up, the teacher appeared from the side with a man following after him.
”Good afternoon everyone, today there is a guest from the police station,” moving slightly to the side, he introduced the man with him, ”This is Kano Dara, a police captain, for today he will teach you about the safety lesson.”
”Eh, did he say Dara?” student 1 said in a surprised tone.
”I think I have heard that name somewhere.”
”It's your surname, right Misae?”
”Do you know him, Misae?”
Misae didn't bother listening to them as her eyes were locked to the front. She was completely stunned by the man in front of her. Did she know him? Of course she did. He is her father!
Her father didn't say anything about the training this morning. She felt embarrassed to have her father come here. The students in this school were rather smart when it came to remembering the surname because they always curious if a certain surname has relation to something else. Before long, she was sure that the entire school would know that her father was a police.
He should have told her! In the end, Misae barely heard anything that her father said from the front. Not that she worried because he always repeated the same thing every weekend, so she has already remembered all of them.
After school, Kanae approached Misae, ”I didn't think that I will be seeing your father here.”
”I don't know about it too,” Misae grunted.
”Do you want to participate in the practice?” Kanae pointed to the front. After the lecture finished, Kano proceeded to teach the ones who wanted to practice with them. Many of the boys came forward because they wanted to learn and only some of them who had other things to do didn't participate.
Misae shook her head. ”I don't want to meet with him.”
Kanae and Alice giggled when they heard Misae's response. They knew that she was embarrassed to have her father came to school.
”I think he's worried about you,” Kanae noticed that Kano glanced towards Misae a couple of times during the speech and explanation. It was clear that he came because he wanted to meet with Misae.
Misae turned to look at her father again. Really, her father didn't tell her something like this. He was still busy teaching the other enthusiastic students on how to do the practice correctly. Misae smiled at the sight because she knew that Kanae was correct.
”I think so too.”
”Don't you need to talk with him?” Alice asked with a smile.
Misae looked towards her father and shook her head. ”I'll just grab something to eat and return here later. What about you two?”
”I have to work,” Kanae smiled wryly.
Alice fidgeted. ”I have to go home.”
”Alright, see you two in school tomorrow.”
The three of them went their separate ways. Misae returned to the field after she had filled her belly with foods. She soon found her father still teaching a handful of students left. She became unsure whether she should greet him or not.
Kano waved towards her, ”Misae! Are you alright?”
”Yes, father,” Misae nodded her head. ”Are you still busy? I can wait.”
”No, we have finished since a few minutes ago. Let's go home,” Kano beckoned her to come over.
Misae nodded politely to the other students before leaving with her father. She didn't know any of them, but it was better to stay polite to them.
