Chapter eight: Our rules

Once it clocked 7o'clock AM, Galvin had gone around the whole room, waking everyone up. He'd said there was an urgent meeting with fixed location at the living room. Reluctantly and lazily, Everyone had summoned themselves living room expecting to see either Mr Chou or Mr Minatozaki, but none of both came up after they'd settled down. The men both looked at each other expecting one of them to stand up and address them.

Mr Reyrox Minatozaki thought that Gregor had summoned the meeting to say thank you as he was fond of appreciating people's good deeds towards him and his family. But, nothing of his imaginative blew real.

On Mr Gregor Chou's path, he thought that Reyrox had summoned them all in order to talk about the dos and donts of the family. Reyrox was more of strict person that Gregor could testify to.

Everyone murmured endlessly until Galvin stood in the middle of them with a huge eyeglasses gracing his eyes, bridging his nose angle. He whispered continuously until everyone had stopped talking and faced him. When he noticed, he smiled.

"Good morning everyone!" He said aloud.

"Morning~",  they replied lazily.

"So! It's literally like 6 am and I'm not sorry to wake you guys up. I ought to be getting a series of 'thank you' from y'all",  he giggled at his own joke. No one vibed what he'd said and so, they all stared blankly at him.

Alice rolled her eyes, "just say whatever. I need to continue my sleep".

" That English is wrong Alice. How many times do i have to tell you that you don't and can't continue your sleep? In the English word, it's lame to say such", Rosemary corrected, making the latter roll her eyes again.

"Yeah, yeah. Miss English" Alice deadpanned.

"Galvin,  what's this call for?" Reyrox, his father asked.

Galvin, Spreading his tiny hands apart, he smiled adorably and the chuckled. His actions only made Sana growl. She wondered if Tzuyu was present. Well, of course, she must. Turning her head to her sides, she found Tzuyu dozing off beside her sister. Both looked cute as Tzuyu had her head pressed backwards the armchair and Chantel's head was rested on Tzuyu's arm.

"I call for this meeting in order to tell all of you the rules guiding us here"

Raising up her hand,  Chantel said;

"We know the rules"

"Yeah!" Alice seconded,  "that should probably be a reminder".

"Right.",  Galvin said and quickly cancelled the content from the topic. "Ok! I'm here to reminded each and everyone of you about the rules guiding us here"

Everyone sighed.

"Rule number one-" Galvin was about pronounce the rules when Alice interrupted,  "yes Alice?"

"Please can i keep my eyes close while you outline the rules?" She inquired making the little boy shake his head in disbelief. "Please?"

"Fine. But i do not authorise you to sleep", Galvin deadpanned and held the sheet of paper before his face.

"Yes! Thank you lil bro" she said happy and with a fast move backwards on the armchair, she gladly closed her eyes and drifted back into a deep sleep.

For twenty minutes, the little boy had the sheet of paper before his face which was his style of holding paper like objects. He mentioned all twenty rules with it's explanations as stated in the sheets.

"Phew!" He breathed out and quickly took the paper downwards to what his eyes behold. "WHAT!" He yelled making afew jerk up. "So while i was reading,  everyone was fast asleep?!"

No one responded and the rest who had woken up, drifted back to sleep.

He sighed.


7:09 AM

A melodious countryside song played from the home theatre. By the side of the window, a BBR radio was active as the sounds from the presenters were all in all lively.

For ten minutes of being at the table, no one talked until Marilyn turned to look at Gladys who'd noticed someone staring and then, she winked at her. Gladys smiled. Both women loved how everyone dug into their food, eating quietly and requesting for more. Well, everyone had gone round for their second plate expect for Tzuyu and Sana.

"How's the food Everyone?" Gladys asked after another minute of silence.

"It's so delicious honey, you and Marilyn did a good job" Reyrox said as he gave his wife a peck on the cheek.

"Same here sugar, it's the best combination of the world's best chefs who prefers to stay at home and cook for us"  Gregor said and pecked his wife nose.

"Awww",  the kids chorused making their parents look at them.

"Darlings, what's wrong? Go on with your foods. We've got more if you want MORE" Gladys said and giggled cutely.

"Don't worry mom, we're saving it" Galvin said.

Gladys and Marilyn looked at each other, flummoxed. They turned to Galvin and asked;

"Saving for who?-"

"Or do you have some visitors coming today from your school?" Gregor chipped in right after the women had spoken.

"Nope" Galvin said.

"Yeah",  Chantel spoke up, "we're saving it for Sana and Tzuyu".

Both Sana and Tzuyu who'd been silent the whole time, turned to look at the little kids in awe.

Everyone sighed.

Sana smiled and said, "I'd eat if i want Chantel. Don't bother about me cutie".

Chantel nodded to that and slowly turned to look at Tzuyu who raised an eyebrow. Both tried communicating through eye contact. After a minute, Chantel said;  "oh, Tzuyu said that she would have eaten but is quite shy since Sana is here".

Everyone was amazed at first including Sana and soon they all chuckled.

Tzuyu burned rage and fummed up all she could. Chantel turned to her sister once again and shrugged at her angered facial expression. Tzuyu tried to see what Sana's expression was and noticed how she never stopped smirking with so much disinterest.


Knock

Knock

"Open up the door! It's not locked" A voice yelled from inside the room.

With a slow twist of the door knob, Tzuyu walked in looking so angry. She met Chantel jumping up and down her bed. "Chantel,  what you did back there some minutes ago wasn't fair!"

"What did i do? And when did you start addressing me as 'Chantel'?" The little girl asked still jumping on her bed and tossing herself to and fro.

The young lady sighed and hit her forehead. Chantel was right. Tzuyu always addressed her as 'tel' but whenever she was angry, she'd call her 'Chantel'.

"Yeah right. I'm sorry tel", Tzuyu apologised.

Jumping nonstop, Chantel said;

"Ok apologises accepted. What were you saying before?"

"Huh?" Tzuyu was short of words and growled at her little sister's care free attitude. She was not going to combust, not right before Chantel. "I'll be heading to the connivent".

"Kk! See you later" Chantel said still jumping and singing a rhyme.

Slowly but steadily, Tzuyu walked out Chantel's room. Within a minute, Tzuyu screamed out loud. Her screams were legal to bring the whole house down. Chantel stopped jumping and picked up her headset from the window and having placed it on her ears, tuned a song and continued to jump.
