SARAH POV.


"London, Germany, Netherlands, America, China or Japan?" I asked Nia.


"Cok ask me? who's going to college, who's doing it. My advice, you go with your husband." said Nia.


"Suami whatan, not yet halal Nia. Where are you going yourself?" my spoken.


"I think I'm going to college here, not abroad" he replied.


"Why?"


"I like the original Indonesian ones." replied Nia with a bright look.


"Ih, what the hell. Learn Nia, not find a soul mate."


"Well, once sailed two three islands exceeded."


"I'm going to London." I made up my mind.


"I'm sorry, but you can't go to college in London" Yama said.


"Mr Ito." Nia bowed in respect.


"I want to talk to Sakura."


"good. Sar, I go home first." said Nia.


I waved my hand at him.


"Why can't I go to college in London?" my protest.


"I won't let you get away from me, we'll leave for Japan soon."


"Cock in a hurry anyway? I haven't sent an email to the University of Japan."


"All I've taken care of, you just go in."


"What do you know I want to go to college and what?"


"I enrolled you at Keio University majoring in Business and commerce, same as me."


"But I want to be a dentist, not a businessman like you." I refused.


"I also don't speak Japanese. College in London is still okay." I teased Yama.


"Later, there'll be a language teacher teaching you."


"Oh, not you. So, I'm married to my Japanese teacher." God.


I ran away from him while sticking out my tongue mocking him.


"Sakura_chan, don't blame me if your lips are swollen again" Yama shouted.


Sure enough, I must have been caught by him. Yama hugged me tightly, but this time he didn't finish me off. We're sitting in the back garden, in front of the koi fish pond.


He started the conversation a little seriously.


"Sakura_chan, don't be surprised if there I become someone else." Yama said while looking at the blue sky this morning.


"Other people?" my many.


"I have to put on my cold face, I hope you can accept everything about me" he said.


I cupped his face with both hands.


"When has my boyfriend not been cold? although it looks inconsiderate and there is no smile, but I know you always love me." I said.


This time it was me who started the unification of our lips together, making him even more excited. I'm looking for a way to stop him, lucky Grandma came in time.


"Ehem." Grandma cleared her throat.


"Have you talked to Sakura?" ask Grandma to Yama.


"Grandfather, it's me trying."


Grandma hit Yama on the head with her stick.


POK!


"Oh, yes, Grandma, Sarah wants to come to Japan" replied Yama.


"Who said? I said I didn't want to." I teased him again.


POK!! POK!!


Grandma hit Yama again.


"Sakura_chan, don't mess around. Grandma's punch hurt a lot." said Yama.


"Sakura came to Japan. But I don't want to go to business and commerce. I want to be a dentist" I said.


"As for Sakura, the dentist is also good. Later still can take care of the child well." said grandma.


"Grandmother, I don't want to get married first" I said.


"It's better to get married first, than get pregnant first" said the grandmother.


Yama chuckles at the answer from grandma, just as she hopes.


"Can't! we should be in one house, even one room." - Yama.


"Yama_san, that's impossible. We're not legal."


"What are you discussing, Grandma has decided. We leave in 2 days, Sakura_chan goes to college and learns a language. Yama continue your education, 1 more year you two are married."


Grandmother's words were absolute, unable to be bargained.


"Good grandma." said the two of us.


Getting married at a young age never occurred to me.


This afternoon my mom took me shopping, looking for warm clothes for me.


"Ma, don't do much, Sarah will buy there anyway." I said.


"Yes, it's just a few." said my mom


"Sakura ... remember your message, do not easily trust anyone there. Do not eat or drink the gifts of strangers. Always carry pepper spray and always turn on the GPS." mama's message.


"Ma, Japan is a safe country, right, the people are also friendly. I read some books about Japan."


"It's true, but the Ito family has a lot of competitors who want to take us down."


"How do you go ma? Sakura is new, doesn't know anything."


"Obey Yama and grandma, Yama will definitely order one of his men to escort you."


"If Sakura can tell, what is the family business?"


"Many, hotels, cafes, discos, casinos, bars, restaurants, malls and furniture factories" said mama explained.


"What?! a lot of ma, Yama must be very busy" I said.


"The burden is very heavy, Mama thanks Sakura. Because of you, Yama can smile back."


"It's nothing ma. Mama's not coming to Japan?" my many.


"No, I'm waiting for Ken here. There's also Ken's dad's job I have to take care of."


"Oh yeah, is Mr Bagaskara's job the same as Yama's?"


"No, papa only has an entertainment industry and a furniture factory."


"Well, it turns out I'm surrounded by great people" I said in amazement.


"Sakura is also a great kid." mama gave me a thumbs up.


We ended the shopping time which turned out to have taken hours. A little information from my mother, is a provision for me.


The next day, Yama took me to eat at a Japanese restaurant. He talked about the matter urging him to return to Japan immediately.


"Actually, I have a problem." Yama started the conversation.


"What problem?" I chewed food.


"There's a comfort woman who died in my hotel room."


"Then?"


Yama frowned with my answer.


"Yes then what? isn't this easy? call the police and you're done." I replied.


"That would lower our hotel's rating" he replied.


"Could you not report to the police?" my many.


Yama nodded slowly.


"We have our own ways."


"Is such a thing allowed? isn't there a law there?" my many.


"Police will drop my good name even more. Some of them like to take bribes."


"Then, what are you going to do?" my many.


"Finding the killer and the rumor spreader, then asking them to retract the report."


"Hm, does something like this happen often?" my many.


"Yes, so I ask you to understand my life."


"Tell me, tell me about your life."


"I'm afraid you'll hate me."


"I'll hate you, if you dare to play me." I said firmly.


"Alas Sakura Ito" joked Yama.


2 Days later, we were all at the airport.


Mama ushered in the three of us, I waved my hands high saying goodbye to mama.
