The Ugly Duckling's

"I'm not flirting with you! I'm just asking you to get me a towel and my shirt, please" my dear.

"You kissed me first" he said casually, opening the paper that day.

"Hehe .. That, I'm just thankful that you respected my decision." I showed my typical grin.

"You also teased me while I was in the bathroom" Yama said very casually"

"Don't believe me, where there's a girl who seduces guys first." I shook Mama's hand slowly.

"Have ... already ... Looks like you guys should get married soon." Mama rubbed my head.

"No!" I answered and Kenjiro at the same time.

Kenjiro suddenly came and answered along with me by accident. I glanced at Yama tightly grasping the newspaper he was holding. Her face was invisible, but I knew for sure it was her ugly look.

"We're getting married next week!" yama said firmly with his baritone voice.

"Why?! wait ... wait ... I haven't started anything in my life. I don't want to get married yet" I refused.

"You can start your life after we get married" Yama said, holding back her anger.

Smear me! Kenjiro did not answer! How's this? I have to make sense, my mind. I squeezed my fingers worried by Yama's decision. It seems Ken can see my anxiety.

"You can't force people to do it" Kenjiro said, trying to defend me.

I can only give up, the grandmother that I used to take refuge in is gone. Maybe I was meant to marry young. My grandmother has blessed us too.

"Don't be sad, let's have breakfast outside" Ken said, embracing my shoulder.

"Put your hands away" Yama said in a threatening low voice.

Mama who knew about the situation called me. " Sakura, we better have breakfast outside" Mama asked me. I nodded my head quickly and followed in his footsteps.

We set off for a small restaurant on the side of the road, still with Keiko. Mama went inside and talked for a while with the owner of the restaurant. He seems to know the owner.

We took a seat by the big window, Mama ordered some food for breakfast. " This is the restaurant Mama used to eat when dating Papa," he said.

"It was Mom who forced Papa to get married." Mama chuckles softly remembering her youth.

"Well?!" I was surprised to hear that statement, Mama nodded her head in affirmation.

"At that time, we were both on the same campus. Papa didn't know that Mama was a Yakuza's son, until we dated and got serious." Mama pause.

"Papa intended to propose to Mama, she boldly came to the house and met Grandpa Ito. At that time Grandpa was handling one of his members who defected, very fitting with the arrival of Papa. Mama saw Papa's body stiffen, then she tried hard throughout the conversation with grandfather. From that day on, Papa always stayed away from Mama. One day, Mama forced him to marry her. I kidnapped her and took her straight to the wedding ceremony. Funnily enough he did not refuse, then We moved to Indonesia because Grandpa pressured Papa to be his successor." Mom ended her story.

"Ooo .. So you guys ran away from Grandpa? then why did grandfather choose Yama? Isn't there Uncle Akutsu too?" manya curious.

"Akutsu is too ambitious like a Devil, for some reason Grandpa and Grandma named him Akutsu. Grandfather chose the first male successor from me, he kidnapped Yama who was then a child and forbade me to meet him." Tears rolled down Mama's cheeks.
