CHAPTER LINKS HERE~
Ryosuke woke up the next day with a very good ambiance - a feeling like he just woke up on the right side of his bed after years of sleeplessness. It must be the effect of yesterday’s settlement where Hino finally answered him with a kiss. But what a waste for him not to do the one he had practiced for a week, however he felt lucky to the least because that peck is more than enough already to tell him that, at last, Hino is now his official girlfriend. So why bother if he could have many chances in the future?
It would be great to have a date with her right now and take that kiss he wished to have, but two persons arrived unexpectedly to discuss an important matter with him. But why they are here in time that he doesn’t need them anymore? And what’s with this formality if they are just going to eat lunch together?
“Ryosuke…” the call that interrupts the silence in the ambiguous dining room. “Fix your tie neatly and wipe those sauces sticking at the corner of your lips…” demanded by his mother who keeps on checking her watch every minute.
Bothered he is, Ryosuke asked, “Why do you keep on checking the time if you don’t have work today?...”
“Because…” she was interrupted by the buzzing bell coming from the outside.
“They’re here…” the remarks made by his father afterwards.
The front door opened and footsteps approached the dining room which consists of three person. One man who is around his father’s age, one woman who is somehow familiar to him and one girl who is so lady in any means. From the way they were greeted by his parents, Ryosuke had this feeling that something is about to happen. But he’s hoping that this is just a simple lunch reunion however not everything is according to what he wants…
“What?!...” he reacted as soon as the announcement was pronounced by his mother, a sudden decision which ruined everything he had planned about him and Hino. “I thought I’ll be spared from this since I’m not the eldest of this family!...”
“But you are the one who will carry the name of this family Ryosuke…” the raging retort of his mother who is now so angry to his sudden objection. “If you would mind not to raise your voice in the front of our guests…”
“I do mind!...” he pounded his fists against the surface of the table. “I’m not marrying her and that’s my decision!…”
“You don’t hold the decision son…” the counterattack of his father. “I am your father and we are your parents, so we hold every decision of your life…”
“Excuse me Yamada-san…” the interruption that settled the argument to take a break for a while. It’s the mother of the lady who is now eyeing Ryosuke with likeness. “I think Ryosuke needs more time for this and besides my daughter can wait as long as the agreement is still on the range of our contract…”
“I’m so sorry Madame… but I’m not changing my mind and I’m not marrying your daughter…” the sudden intrusion of the boy who stood up to leave the table in an instant.
This is absurd because, in the first place, he was abandoned in the mansion like as if he doesn’t have any parents at all. But what’s with this sudden decision? And why his parents are so greedy when it comes to business? Their richness is more than enough to feed them even beyond death that banks can no longer hold the excess of their money. But why aren’t they satisfied yet? And what is he by the way?... A doll or a toy for exchange?
I have to do something to get away from this!
♥♥♥♥♥
Hino got stupefied to the sudden bang! that happens before her. It was a branch of a tree, one foot wide and three feet long with few twigs and dry leaves on it. The way it falls in front of her and the way it blocked her way seemed not to affect her superstitious belief however something had struck her thoughts. Could this mean---
She doesn’t want to think about it.
After deciding not to decipher the meaning of the fallen branch, Hino goes straight to her destination - the park. And while striding beside the street, excitement is already in her heart. So nothing can screw this feelings even black cat or black butterflies will come across her way! Because today is the day of their first date where she is no longer a maid or a hostage and he is no longer a boss or a kidnapper but she is the girlfriend and he is the boyfriend. Period!
Nevertheless something seemed not fine…
“What’s wrong?...” Hino asked after the guy had pulled her for a hug which is too tight yet too weak to some extent. “Did something happen?...”
Instead of an answer, Ryosuke begged, “Can you promise me one thing…”
“What promise?...”
“That no matter what happened you will never ever break up with me…” he burrowed his face to the hollow of her shoulder afterwards. “Can you swore those words to me?...” he asked once again.
She has no idea if what the heck is going on with him but the depressive tone so as the melancholic way of embracing her is somewhat touchy that Hino has no choice but to agree, “Ok… no matter what will happen I’ll be with you always…”
“Forever?...” he abreast himself to see her face fully.
“I’m not s---” she was cut by a pull which eventually lead to a kiss that deepened instantly.
This is neither the kiss he wished to have nor a moment he dreamed about since all he want is for her to feel how great he is in kissing and how romantic he is as a boyfriend but the threat - the decision that his parents had discussed with him just this morning - pressured him to do something that will surely sure him that Hino will never ever let go even everything will start to torn apart. “Stay with me please…” he said then after. “Because I can’t live without you anymore…”
“Are you ok?...” Hino asked doubtfully because the situation is getting more and more dramatic than romantic. And besides, this is a date and no cameras are rolling around them to capture this moment for a movie. So what’s with all the script and dramatic face? “Have you eaten something this morning which makes you act like this just now?...”
“No…” he loosened himself up from being too focused over the threat. “I’m just trying to do something that will make you frown at me…” he joked.
“You’re weird…” she creased her forehead.
“I don’t care as long as you listen…” he smiled. “So~” he hummed, now taking her hand to intertwine with his. “Where do you want to go?...”
“I thought you had thought of that already?...” she was dismayed.
“So you’re leaving the decision on me?...” he pitched his tone like as if he had something on his sleeves.
“You’re the guy, of course, it’s your job…” she has some point there.
“Ok…” he breathed out. “Then we’re going straight to the motel…”
“No!!!...” she pulled him back before he could drag her, for real, to a place he just mentioned. “Are you crazy?!...”
“Nope…” he pursed his lips and a whack descended to his head. “I was just joking… you don’t have to hit me like that…” he clamored while rubbing the area that was just battered.
“Then don’t you ever joke that one to me again!...”
“Ok… Ok…” he gave up.
♥♥♥♥♥
It was a wondrous date that the smile sticks on her face like a painted upper curve with no imperfection on any angle. However, just after they bid each other with one last kiss and goodbye, someone had crossed her path blocking her way to the route where the bus is waiting. She did a step on the right and a step on the left, thinking that maybe the stranger needs some lane but every move and step she made are mirrored by the person before her that a frown arched on her lips. “Do you need something from me?...” Hino asked, irritated somehow.
Hino expects an answer but a spanked ensued instead which changed her expression to somewhat angry yet worried. It will be forgivable if it was just a hurtful slap on a shoulder or a tender punch on the arm but the part that was victimized was her face. So right after it stung, she daunted, “Who are you?!...” with hand cupping the cheek that was just spanked.
Again, she expects an answer but the stranger made a remark, “Ryosuke is my fiancée!... So don’t you dare to kiss him like that again!...” instead.
“Fiancee?...” she’s confused.
“Yes peasant!...” the stranger moved a little closer to grate a teeth before her. “If I’m not wrong… you’re the daughter of their Chef… so in short… you’re no princess to be match with him… and no more Cinderella lives in this generation girl… so end your relationship with him if you still want to live peacefully!...”
“Who the heck are you to tell me that?!...” Hino asked, heated with thoughts on how far can she hold her anger. Calm down, just calm down for now… No! Spank her back!... What am I thinking?... I’m educated and brawl is definitely immoral…
“Didn’t I told you already that I’m his fiancée!...” she pinned her palms on her waist.
“So what?...” she raised her brows in response. “You aren’t married yet…”
“But soon we will!...” she argued. “So break any connection with him right now before it’s too late peasant!...”
Too late for what? - Hino asked herself after the girl had left her all alone. She knew that the issue just now is too critical already since one person, even though she has no idea if who it was, had left something alarming. And that is, “Oh no… could this be the reason why Ryosuke had asked me to take that vow?...”
Now fear starts to haunt her mind…
Hurriedly, she fished her phone to call the only person that could confirm everything, “Ryosuke…”
“Hm?...” the reply of the receiver.
“You have to tell me straightly…” she’s starting to get shaky. “Were you arranged by your parents to get wed with someone else?...”
The question brought a stinging shock on his ear that every word in his mouth shut back to his throat. He doesn’t want to hide this news forever since he knows how pushy his parents are and besides truth are always broadcasted no matter how tight you hide it. But the promise, the oath or the vow that Hino had sworn to him brought a little courage to his soul to speak the truth even it may hurt her a lot. “Yes…” he sighed. “But I’m not marrying her Hino… so don’t---”
She cut the call herself.
He ran back as fast as he could.
But nothing happens since they fail to see each other in just a matter of minutes.
“Hino!!...” Ryosuke yelled while waiving and running behind the bus but his speed is of no comparison to it. So he was left behind. “Damnit!... I should have told her earlier… but how come she’s aware of it?...”
♥♥♥♥♥
This is so sudden! They just had their confirmatory relationship yesterday but why everything begins to end like this? - too fast!... Did fate ever missed to see how much they love each other? Or because they did this affair out of selfishness?
Selfishness? - Hiding a relationship could be selfish but loving a person truly isn’t selfish at all!
Now she’s bothered if whether it’ll be better to shed an emotion right now or to hold them back for a while. But why is she on the verge of crying if Ryosuke had told her, “I’m not marrying her Hino…” She should feel confident because the guy had sworn to love her forever. And it was Ryosuke who did the effort to make this relationship possible. But still something seemed not to favor with them.
She does not belong to his world…
Cursed whoever had created money! Cursed the person who had started to coin the word political/business marriage! Cursed the inequality between richness and poverty! Cursed the world for being so unfair! And cursed destiny for playing with them all this time!
A tear escaped, finally, from her eyes down to her cheek until she cupped her face to cry and cry. This is the only way she could vent her sadness but this doesn’t mean giving up because Ryosuke had made her feel this way already - too in love to be separated this early. She can’t give up on him since the guy had been so important to her, as important as she value her family. So courage is all she needs but where it can be gain if everything is now in vain?
“Hin-chan…” the call that summons her to face her mother with puffy, bulging and reddened eyes. “Did you just cry?...”
From the tone of the question, Hino could fathom how worried her mother is when it comes to her. It would be best to tell the woman directly on the matter that will soon be unraveled astoundingly. But she can’t… So instead of an answer, she throws herself like a three years old kid begging for a comfort, love and security from her mother. “Am I born unlucky?...” she sobbed.
“What are you saying?...” asked by her mother.
“I feel like I’m too unlucky in so many ways…”
“Why?...”
“Because sooner---” she was interrupted by the presence of someone who is not supposed to be there inside their house. “What is she doing here?...” the query that came out from her mouth in a whispering manner.
“She’s here to talk to you Hin-chan…” the response which urged her to look straight to her mother.
“Why?...”
“I don’t know…”
Now fear within her intensified…
Could this be---
Again, she doesn’t want to think about it…
♥♥♥♥♥
Sitting in between her mother and father just across the woman who is known to be the Mistress of her parents and the mother of the guy she’s been in love with, Hino fidgeted like an autistic kid* in front of everyone. This is the first time that she met this woman personally and this will be also the first time that her parents could introduce her formally but the agenda is not about her - becoming the future Chef of the Yamada-family - but about her and her relationship with Ryosuke.
“So it’s true?...” the query that was repeated by her father for the second time. “Hino!...”
She jolted in her seat that her eyes quivered a quick glance from her father to the Mistress and back to where it were before - on her hands. “Yes…” she sobbed. “But we’re doing nothing wrong Dad… We were just---”
“Just what?...” intruded by the Mistress. “Kissing, dating, and even hugging at public places?...”
Damn those enumerations! It sounds like as if they had been watched or maybe reported by someone.
“I don’t want to see you hanging around my son Hino…” added by the Mistress who is now arousing to stand from her seat. “Ryosuke will be married to Yuri soon and they’ll be with us in the US afterwards… so don’t bother my son starting this day onwards if you still love to see your family’s businesses…”
“What?...” the reaction that was asked by her mother who was shocked to the sudden directive of the Madame. “Are you telling my daughter to---”
“I’m not telling her, Walker-san, I’m blackmailing her…” corrected by the Mistress. “You both know how harsh the world of business competition that merging is needed to strengthen the status of the company… I understand the feeling of your daughter so as the feeling of my son but Hino---” she called up the attention of the girl who took a quick look at her unnerving eyes right away. “--- Big businesses are only for big businesses… while small businesses are only for small businesses… So hope you won’t do anything beyond what you and Ryosuke had done today because your mistake will be your family’s problem…” she continued.
Silence in the living room took place just after the Mistress had left the house with the last warning that says, “I don’t care about the trust and loyalty we had shared for a long time already and I don’t care if your daughter is still aspiring to be my son’s future Chef… but let me warn you people… I am no angel by face and by heart… So be careful because I am no enemy to be matched when it comes to reputation…”
Cursed her greediness!
“Go to your room Hino…” instructed by her father in a tone like as if perseverance and anger are trying to withstand from one another.
“Dad…” she begged.
“Go to your room!...” he burst out in anger suddenly that his wife got startled more than his daughter.
“Hon?...”
“She’s grounded…” he said in a firm growling decision which eventually urged Hino to leave the living room to cry somewhere else.
“You don’t have to yell at her…” said by his wife who is so worried to their daughter’s reaction. “And there’s no need to ground her…”
“Are you siding on her crooked attitude?...” he’s very mad.
“No…”
“Then don’t stop my way of disciplining her…”
“It wasn’t a discipline…”
“Are you telling me that I was just wrong?...” he stood up with his hands slamming his knees.
“Yes!...” she stomped her feet. “Hino did nothing wrong Hon…”
“What’s with that?...” he clamored. “Are you saying that we should allow her to have a relationship with Ryosuke?...”
“Hino is already in the right age to fall in love and there’s nothing wrong---”
“IT’S WRONG!...” he insisted and this end the argument with her walking out also.
Right after she left her husband, Mrs. Walker goes straight to her daughter’s room. There she found Hino crying over the mattress with waist slouching against the edge of the bed and knees kneeling on the floor. “Hin-chan…”
“Mom…” she pushed herself up to run and to hug her mother who might be the only person who can understand her for the moment. “I’m so sorry… I did not mean to hide this… and I have no intention to destroy our family… but Ryosuke---” she stopped for a while to blow an aching sob which is so painful, so agonizing and so hurtful that pity is the only word you could describe on her condition. “I love him…”
“I understand you but Hino---” she tightened her hold and her daughter did the same also. “---Ryosuke is not meant for you…”
What the heck?! Is she really her mother? Unfortunately yes but Hino can’t blame the woman for saying those words because years of building a good name with the Yamadas are no strolling down the road or eating up a cake. It was a hellish struggle that sweats and bloods are almost mixed up with life and soul. So definitely, everyone will be against them even love is pure enough to tell those thick-headed scumbags that money isn’t everything in this world!
That’s how harsh it is but hope is still there somewhere in her heart telling her that someday they’ll understand her somehow. However, the more she’s trying to convince her family and herself that Ryosuke is the only person she could ever love, the more they are facing the wrath of the Queen. She did try to avoid the guy but Ryosuke is still there asking her to ignore the consequences, but how can she do that if her family so as her are greatly affected by it? Everyday she could hear her father yelling at her mother who would just cry in the end. Every minute, she could feel that money is no longer stable in their economic status. And every second, she could see herself crying with no tears and sound at all. Is this tolerable? Can she go on with this kind of life? Can she have the future she dreamed about if everything is now in dust?
She has to decide on this…
“Let’s break up…” the words which broke her heart instantly. It’s painful, too painful that her strength begins to wane and wane but she has to do this even it’s too unfair. “We need to end this because---”
“NO!!!...” he exclaimed angrily, pulling the girl to keep a hold on his hands but Hino is not anymore in her focus. “You’re not leaving me!... you promised…”
“Then I’m taking it back…” she cried, avoiding an eye contact with him. “I’m sorry but my family---”
“I don’t care about your family!...” he’s burning with anguish already that a flame had lit something undesirable inside his body. “And I don’t care about mine also…” he’s damn serious about that!
“Ryosuke!...” she groaned when a sudden pull and drag was forced on her sloppy strength. It’s too fast and too strong that her feet were of no use at that moment. She has no idea on where the hell they’re heading at because her thoughts are still on the break-up matter but the moment her back bounced on the soft mattress, Hino knew that the guy is not anymore in his proper thinking. “No…” she shook her head. “You’re not doing this…”
“I need to get you pregnant…” he hissed.
