Chapter 1: Going to japan ✈ 🇯🇵
Ok, before we start things, let me introduce myself. My name is Nama Uzaki, I’m 27 years old, I own a multibillion dollar company 💰, I love to read books, I’m a business man with a 50 billion dollars’ net worth. I’m really smart business wise but can be an idiot sometimes they say (you’ll know why in a sec). Oh and I am from Los Angeles. I’m so close to my family, some even live with me here in my mansion (mom, two sisters, 😥) and I’ll like to say they’re a little bit too close sometimes (you’ll also get why I say that in a second). So basically I’ve completed so much in my life except one thing that I get reminded of all the time by my family, and that is: ‘find love’. So it’s the 25th of March 2023 and my 24-year-old brother “Leo” is getting married today. I’m so proud of him even if he’s getting married this early, and at the same time, I feel ashamed of myself when seeing how happy he is to be with his wife. I always wondered how they get to be so close. I try hard not to look at them sometimes. I being the first born among four children in my family should at least be doing this kind of things first. Besides a 27-year-old me isn’t getting any younger. I found so many things in my life but forgot to find the love or perhaps, love has forgotten to find me. It’s not that they weren’t any option but none felt right. All the girls I’ve met only liked me for my money. Where is my fairy tale ending? The pressure from my friends and family didn’t make anything easier and I’ll say the pressure became even worse after Leo’s marriage. I need to breathe and have a rest of mind, I need a distraction from all these shenanigans, I need to rediscover myself. And then it hit me, I shouted out my newly thought idea with charisma “I need a vacation!”
Why didn’t I think of this sooner, a proper vacation is what I need to get away from all this drama and millionaire lifestyle. But the question is: where should I visit? Maybe Hawaii. I need to travel to a place that does things differently from LA. I’ve been thinking about this for hours that I didn’t even notice my brother standing next to me. I was totally in shock and hoped he did not hear me pondering as he may tell the others and this whole thing will be ruined. To my surprise he told me to calm down.
Nama: “Ah what’s up Leo, what are you doing there?” 😕
Leo: “looking for great place to relax huh, how about Japan.”
I wondered in my head ” Japan? why Japan I didn’t really know much about Japan even though our dad was from there, and I don’t even speak Japanese.
No, I can’t possible go to Japan.
Leo: Think about it, Japan is really far from this place which will allow you to truly relax. It’s also a beautiful country, rich in history and culture known for manga, animes, food and so much more. And besides, it’s super safe there too you know.
Thinking about Japan after so many years suddenly brought back memories about my dad. He used to tell us funny stories about how his dishes was once considered to be the only food sold in Japan, or how the fresh air, trees and flowers would always whisper in his ear. But the story that always amazed me, was how he met mum. The moment he saw her blossoming eyes; he knew they were meant for each other.
Nama: “Did you suggest this because dad was from Japan?”
Leo: “Yes, and no.”
Nama: “But where in Japan do you think I should go?”
Leo: “Where else than Tokyo fool, it’s literally another world itself or you could try Naru, I heard they got a lot of deer and unicorns.”
Nama: “What.”
Wow, he sure did make some good points and I did say I need to go to a place widely different from LA, and I do love deer, and animes and fireworks. OK it’s decided I am going to Tokyo Japan! I need to rediscover myself, and my heritage. I need to move on from this billionaire lifestyle. I need to relax and have the best possible vacation. 😆
