The Ugly Duckling's

"Because, I'm gonna keep you busy taking care of our kids later." Yama smiled broadly.

I hit him hard, but it meant nothing to him.

"Who wants to have kids fast!" my yelling.

"Sstt .. keep your voice down, grandma is sleeping" pinta Yama said.

"Basic Yakuza crazy!" I'm scolding him again.

"You're the one who drove me crazy" Yama said, caressing my cheek.

"No need to woo me!" I said by turning my face away.

"It's midnight, go to sleep" said Yama, stroking my back. It feels so good, I am tired.

I didn't answer, I straightened my legs and thighs into a pillow for me. Feeling comfortable, Yama continued to caress me until I fell asleep. That night we slept together, Yama sitting down while I lay down.

Just for information, Grandma's hospital room is quite large. With a television and a sofa separated from the bed where the grandmother lay. Quite spacious, but no extra mattress for us.

This morning I woke up late, I saw Yama feeding grandma. Apparently, he can be very gentle. Grandma looks fresher than yesterday, I'm a little relieved to see her today.

"Why don't you wake me up?" I asked Yama, making her look at me.

"I don't want to disturb this dreamy sleeping princess." Yama teased me, while grandma chuckled softly.

" Yama?! Don't tease me, I want to take a shower but no clothes" I said.

"Your face is in a pink bag" Yama said, raising his head.

"Well, have you taken a shower?" ask her.

Of course, you always look perfect, handsome, and fragrant. I laughed to myself hearing my heart.

"Why are you laughing by yourself? Am I funny?" tanyanya.

"Oh, no .. no, you .. handsome," I said as I ran into the bathroom.

My shame, I said in my heart, I covered my face with both hands.

I don't know what they're going to talk about me, I hope Yama doesn't become big-headed with my words. I finished my bath, then put on the clothes that Yama had provided. This shirt fits me so well, how could she know my size.

"Yama, how do you know my dress size?" ask me after I get out of the bathroom.

"Grandmother told me," she replied.

"Sakura_chan is so beautiful, come here grandma wants to see you," call grandma. I stepped closer to him, while Yama did not move from his place.

Grandma took my hand, then she grabbed Yama's hand as well and placed it on top of mine. I don't understand what that means, we're just following Grandma's will. Then he started talking.

"Yama, grandma's afraid she can't see you getting married. Grandma will give her blessing now" said grandma.

"Don't be that granny, grandma should be there when Sakura gets married." My tears are ready to slide down.

"Please Obaachan." Yama lowered her head.

I turned towards Yama, how could she take it for granted. Grandma smiled and nodded her head towards me. I bowed my head with tears that slid freely. Grandma gave her blessing, she gave me wojangan in Japanese.

"Old, you must trust each other until old age. Together they become stronger, like grandma and grandpa. We won't complain with suffering, because we believe that someday happiness will come" Grandma patted my head slowly.
