The  sound  of  alarm  is  really  the  most  annoying  sound  especially  in the  morning.  Ren  unwillingly  wakes  up,  and  prepare  to  go  to  school.  He  is  a  high  school  student   starting  today.  He  lived  alone  since  he  was  abandon  since 8.  Since  then  he  somehow managed  to  live  alone  supported  by  his  neighbors  who  pitied  him.  Because  of  that  he  is  emotionless  and  rarely  talk.  But  deep  inside  he is  a  very  kind  and  gentle  young man.  To  support  his  life,  Ren  already  started  to  work  since  8  years  old  makes  him  more  mature  than  other  kids  that  have  the  same  age  as  him. 

 

Months  passing  by.  Today  is  24^th  December,  he  never  had  his  Christmas  celebrated  since  he  was  5,  when  his  family  were  still  together. 

 

Tiny  Risa  sneak  into  Ren  room  carrying  a  present  for  him,  companied  by  her  so-called  deer  who  is  actually  a  small  dog  enough  to  carry  her  around.  The  best  part  is  her  dog,  Pon  can  fly.  While  she  struggling  to  carry  the  present  due  to  her  body  size,  Pon  was  sniffing  around  and  dropped  a  table  lamp  which  fall  on  Risa.  She  faint.

 

The  next  morning,  Ren  awake  and  saw  a  tiny  figure  at  his  table  next  to  his  bed.  He  is  surprised,  but  still  show  a  straight  face  since  he  don’t  really  know  how  to  expressed  it  well.  Risa  awake  and  surprised  because  she  is  exposed  to  human.  But  she  wanted  to  past  her  test  so  she  push  the  present  to  him  and  wish  him  a  Merry  Christmas.  Ren  is  very  happy,  as  if  his  childhood  come  back  and  open  his  present.  Risa  surprised  that  there  were nothing  inside  it.  Ren  smiled  gently  and  said  there  is  nothing  wrong  with  it.  It  is  exactly  what  he  wanted.  Nothing.  Risa  declined  and  said  that  there  must  be  something  and  as  his  Santa,  she  need  to  fulfill  his  wish.  Suddenly,  Risa’s  stomach  rumbling. 

 

Ren  prepared  breakfast  for  both  of  them.  After  breakfast  Ren  need  to  go  to  work  and  Risa  followed  him  so  that  she  might  found  something  that  he  want.  Today,  Ren  work  as  a  flyer  distributor  for  a  bakery  while  dressing  as  Santa  Claus.  Risa  is  surprised  that  he  is  a  Santa  too  and  his  job  is  really  easy.  Ren smile.  When  they  come  home, there  are  two  classmates  of  his  delivered  a  letter  from  school  to  him.  On  the  way  back,  his  classmates  gossiping  about  him.  Risa  overheard  their  conversation  and  learned  something  about  his  past.  When  they  reached  inside,  Risa  cried  for  him  loudly  and  said  that  he  must  asked  for  something.  He  really  deserved  this.  Ren  confused  and  take  a  ribbon  and   tied  it  around  her  face  while  saying  that  his  wish   might  be  hard. 

 

Tomorrow  morning,  a  girl’s  figure  stand  in front  of  his  house  door.  When  he  opened  the  door,  he  smiled.
