The Ugly Duckling's

56

Yama and Gin face each other, they decide to fight samurai-style. Each one had held a sword and mounted horses. Yama's eyes looked extremely sharp and terrifying, while Gin trembled slightly with the aura coming from Yama.

Gin who did not want to feel depressed decided to start the match. He advanced and slashed his sword, but Yama passed by elegantly. Yama quickly twisted his body, preparing to receive another attack.

Gin ran with his sword beside his body, this time he did not shake it. As it was approaching Yama, it suddenly twisted its body with a sword that swung beside its body. That sudden movement left Yama slightly scratched.

Sarah panics when she finds out Yama was scratched right on her wound last night. His clothes instantly became wet, the old wound gaped back. Gin smiled with satisfaction.

"Yama! Stop messing! Finish it fast or I'll go home by myself!" sarah shouted from the side.

She knows her husband's abilities. He was also worried that Yama would bleed out if he did not finish this match immediately. Yama's spirit flared up, his smile this time was like that of a demon. He ran very fast, then swung his sword towards Gin.

Gin swiftly fended him off with a sword, a fierce fight ensued. Yama then turns his sword while their swords are still clinging to each other, then pushes Gin hard which gives him space to slash his neck.

Sarah tried to toughen up, she did not scream when she saw the incident. Sarah stepped forward and hugged Yama, "Why are you so long!" Sarah begins a confrontation.

"I'm sorry my wife, my guide passed out there." Yama pointed at Keiko.

Sarah walked over to Kenjiro's lifeless body. He hugged her and rubbed Kenjiro's face from his forehead down, until his eyes closed. "Why are you present at my wedding in this way, Ken?" sarah's tears broke.

The bodyguards carry Kenjiro's body, while Tadashi wakes Keiko up. Yama leads Sarah to the car, she doesn't care about the pain in her stomach.

Sarah saw bodies strewn in front of the hut, the former battle. Now that Sarah can accept her husband, she will support him wholeheartedly.

SARAH POV.

We arrived home, I didn't dare look Mama in the eye. Mama looks really devastated knowing Kenjiro is gone. Mama asks for Kenjiro's body to be buried in Indonesia, but Yama refuses.

"Ken is part of the Ito family, so his ashes should be buried together with his grandmother and grandfather" Yama said.

Mama couldn't resist, so the funeral procession and the ash placement, all Yama arranged. Our first night was not as beautiful as everyone else, but I have no regrets about marrying Yama. We spent the night at the death building waiting for Kenjiro's ashes. Yama asked me and Mama to go home, but I refused.

I've changed clothes, worn a long-sleeved knit shirt and light blue jeans. Yama has also treated his wounds. Keiko is back behind me.

The next morning we brought Kenjiro's ashes in the garden next door, giving the opportunity to relatives and friends who wanted to mourn. Not much came, considering that Ken did not live his life in Japan. Some of Yama's neighbors and business friends mourned.

In the afternoon we headed to the ash storage. 1 IC for 1 family, so we put Kenjiro together with Megumi's grandmother and Ito's grandfather. Mama is not willing to go with Kenjiro, I swallowed him tightly trying to channel a sense of calm. Today is closed with a mourning atmosphere. I slept in the room with Mama, while Yama was forced to spend the night alone.

This morning I woke up alone, thinking that Mama might have been at the dinner table with Yama. I rushed back to the room to clean up and join them. But I didn't see Mama.

"Mama decided to go back to Indonesia" Yama replied without dropping her newspaper.

"Now that is it? why don't you tell me first," I said.

Yama dropped off his newspaper and looked at me, "Until when should I wait to eat you," he said slowly.

"Yama! I'm not a cake you can eat!" my yelling.

"I'm even more tempted to see you angry" Yama said, folding a newspaper today. "Continue" he said.

I left my breakfast for the back garden. "No breakfast, no papa, no more than I eat" I said.

I don't know if it turns out that Yama is following me, his steps are very light. I kept nagging myself until finally the sound of his dehemy broke my nagging. "Don't be angry with yourself, be angry with me." Yama turned Sarah's body to face her.

"No!" I said, turning my face away from him.

"Kenjiro gave us a wedding gift" Yama said.

"What's that?" I looked quickly.

Yama showed me two honeymoon tickets to the Maldives and a letter. I grabbed the letter and looked at Yama asking for permission, she nodded in agreement. I opened the letter and read it.

Dear my fat girl.

Hello readers, wait for Sarah to read the letter while looking at my friend's work, ready a tissue to read this story. Nice and haru😭👍
