Mother's Day.
The day when people around the world celebrate the importance of mothers in families, in society and in life in general.
Since he was very little, Fei used to give his mother something for this date since she was very affectionate and nice to him and he liked to return all the affection that she gave him in some way or another, whether physically or emotionally. Form hugs and kisses to objects such as drawings or some small craft, the truth is that they were not a big deal but he made them with all the love in the world and his mother always loves to receive anything that was made by her beloved son, so much so that she has a corner of her room full of all the gifts her son has given her over the years, whether they were Mother's Day gifts or not.
Both his mother Kinako and his father Asurei have always taken great care of him, played by his side, worried about him, helped him with whatever he needed, helped him with the jobs he had doubts about and, above all, taught him. They have given a lot of love and affection. So Fei took advantage of any opportunity he had to give them back everything they had given him throughout his life.
But now going back to the beginning
Fei was walking through a shopping center trying to find something to give his mother for this day, since this time he wanted to give her something ''better'' than what he gave her when he was younger but the only thing was that he didn't even have idea that could rule him since he was not very expert in buying gifts so to speak, he thought that maybe he could give her some clothes but then he remembered that the last time he saw his mother's closet he already had enough, then it occurred to him that he also He could give her something until his eyes crossed a small flower shop there and he decided to go in to see if he could find anything. When he entered he saw that there was no one in the store, only a woman of approximately 30 years old at the counter.
''Hello! Welcome, how can I help you?'' said the girl in a friendly tone.
''ah hello, I wanted to know if you could recommend some type of flower since I'm looking for a gift for my mother and I don't know what to give her so I thought I could find something here for her ''Fei said to the woman.
"Well, I think I can help you with that, follow me," the girl said to Fei as she left the counter.
Fei followed the girl until they reached a corner where there was a wide variety of flowers to choose from. Fei spent a long time looking at the flowers and thinking which one he could give to his mother until he saw a pot full of beautiful yellow roses.
"I think I'll take these," Fei said to the girl while pointing to the pot where the roses were.
"Very good choice, I'll wrap them for you in a moment," said the girl as she went to the counter with the pot of flowers in her hand.
After the girl wrapped the roses, Fei gave her the money and headed home to wait for her mother to return from shopping for the week with her father, but before returning home she also took the opportunity to buy a little box of mochis of different flavors for everyone in a small pastry shop near the road to his house.
When he got home the first thing he did was take off his shoes, then he went to his room to change his clothes and then he went to the living room to watch TV while he waited for his parents to arrive...
(...)
After a while, at around 8:15 p.m., someone was heard opening the lock of the house.
"Son, I'm home!" Kinako said in a somewhat loud voice as she entered through the door with some shopping bags in her hands.
"Hello back, mom!" Fei said to her mother as he got up from the couch and went to help his mother with the shopping bags.
Fei and Kinako spent a while putting the purchases in their place while Asurei parked the car.
''How was your afternoon? Have you done something fun? ''Kinako asked Fei with a loving smile on her face as she finished putting the food in the refrigerator in order.
"I haven't done anything very interesting, honestly," Fei said simply to his mother.
"Haven't you gone out with your friends or something like that?" Kinako said, a little surprised since her son loves going out with his friends to play or do anything whenever he has free time.
"Well, to tell the truth, I have done something this afternoon," said Fei.
''Excellent! And what did you...Fei?" Kinako finished saying with a somewhat confused face since her son had disappeared without a trace from the kitchen.
Although it didn't take long for Fei to return to where her mother was.
''Fei, what a scare you gave me! For a moment I thought that something had happened to you...by the way, what do you have hidden behind your back?-Kinako said to her son.
"Happy Mother's Day, Mom," Fei said to her mother with a loving tone while holding in her hands the bouquet full of yellow roses that she had bought a few hours ago for her. "I know it's not a big deal but I hope you like it." He finished saying with a slight fear that his mother would not like the gift.
"Fei, my son, how could I not like this gift?" Kinako said to Fei, smiling as she held the bouquet of roses in her hands and looked at it attentively.
"So do you like the gift I gave you?" Fei said happily, a cute smile on her face as she looked at her mother.
''Of course!! Thank you very much my child for this truly beautiful gift" Kinako said with joy as she hugged her son tightly and affectionately.
"Hahaha, you're welcome, mom," Fei said between some giggles as she hugged her mother back.
They were hugging for a long time until they heard the door open again.
"I'm home!" Asurei announced as he entered the door of the house.
"What's the matter that you are so happy and you haven't told me?" Asurei said in a somewhat funny tone as he saw the scene that had been created in the living room.
"Look at the wonderful gift your son has given me," Kinako said to her husband with a happy smile as she showed him the roses.
"Well, the truth is that they are quite pretty, let's put them in the vase at the entrance so that they can be seen well," Asurei said as she took the bouquet of flowers in her hands and went to put them where she had said.
"I'm sure they would be beautiful," Kinako said with a smile as she looked at her son.
"Oh, I brought this too," Fei said as he showed her the small box full of mochis that he had bought earlier for his mother.
"What a nice detail Fei, we'll eat them for dessert at dinner to end the day well. What do you think?" Kinako said to Fei with a smile.
"I think it's great," Fei responded to his mother, also smiling.
(...)
And so I end this Mother's Day for this wonderful family with a delicious dinner and delicious mochis for everyone!
Fei felt great to be able to continue returning all the love that was given to him little by little, whether it was with big or small things because in this life everything counts, that's why he would make sure that on dates like these he would always give a gift to both one like the other so that days like these would end this well and maybe one day I could completely return all the love.
