40 40 Eat With Me, Miyuki (1/2)
Miyuki stood up and carried the trays in like a professional. ”Of course. I am here to serve you, Madam.” She placed the trays in front of the guests and looked at the younger girl in between the ladies. 'No way! He has chosen someone.' Miyuki started cheering inside but kept a straight face. She sat down in front of the ladies.
When Amelia was handed her tray she slightly bowed and said, ”thank you.” She sat back up and looked at the meal that was in front of her. It was a traditional meal. Cooked fish, a bowl of miso soup, a bowl of rice, and some sweet rolled egg.
Edna sighed inside and thanked the gods that it was a simple lunch. ”Thank you for complying, Miyuki. As you can conclude this lovely lady is Amelia the bride for Gabriel. I want to ask you to become her attendant but there is a catch as you will need to help her out. She has some health issues but despite all that Gabriel is completely smitten by her.”
”If the young Master has chosen her then I have no complaints. I have been waiting for this moment for a while now. If there is anything that I can do then I will do it. I look forward to working with you, Missus.” Miyuki bowed to Amelia.
Amelia started blushing, ”Would it be bad to ask Miyuki to call me Amelia? At least when it is just us. I do not know if I would be able to get used to being called Missus but I will try. I just hope that it would be okay to address me as Amelia at least for the time being.” Amelia smiled at Miyuki and slightly bowed to Miyuki.
”I am okay with that. Miyuki you are permitted to do as Amelia requests. Gabriel is not going to be back for the rest of the week so I want you to get used to helping her out during that time. That will also include helping her with the medicines.” Edna sat there and watched Miyuki.
Irene looked at Edna and wiped away her tears, ”Edna that you so much. I am very grateful to you.”
Amelia took her sleeve and wiped away her mother's tears. ”Mother, I am sure that you are very happy and relieved right now. I am feeling the same. I am grateful to be able to be here. I am most happy that I get to be with the one I love.” She smiled sweetly.
'This girl is the sweetest girl ever. She makes me want to take care of her and protect her for the rest of her life.' Miyuki softened and bowed. ”Amelia, I am not used to your medicines so if after your meal you would do the honour of explaining them to me. I want to be able to help you out as much as I can. While the young Master is gone, I will do everything in my power to take care of you. Just remember that if it is not just us, I will call you young Missus, okay?”
”Yes, that is a good idea. Amelia, I will let you and Miyuki get familiar with each other as your mother and I chat about the wedding. Can you show us the dates after the meal?” Edna smiled at Amelia and Miyuki.
”Yes, please show us the dates. I am curious as you did not show us yet.” Irene clapped her hands and smiled happily.
