Why We Married?
Flower Without Petals Part 2



Tok tok....


"I'm sorry, if you want to do a winnowing ritual you should just wait until the owner comes home!!" Answer the simple voice that is in the slum.


"Sakurai, it's me!" My answer.


There was a rowdy sound like someone was fighting with kitchen items and then slowly the door of the house was opened, and there was a plain-faced figure full of tenderness was wearing a blue-white aprons patterned lily flowers, and there was a look of a plain-faced figure full of softness was wearing a white apron, he held the spatula with oil dripping on the tip.


"What are you doing?" I asked before she greeted her surprise at my arrival.


"Sister, let me!"


"Be quiet, the kitchen is a woman's business." I said clean up the mess he made and make him dinner.


"It's please!" I served a canned meat omelette and also stir-fried chickpeas on the mat and poured them some drinking water, "eat, you must be hungry."


He did not say anything about it, and he put food in his mouth, chewed it over and over again like a starving man who had never eaten a week, the rice inside the ricecooker I know of as much as half a kilo of it ran out with no leftover. Now I'm sure, after that Sakurai locked himself in this place, never to get out of here even to save his own life from starvation.


"Thank you for the food!!" He said while politely putting down the leftover pottery and bowing to me.


"Oh yeah!" I reached into my bag and gave him 2 axes of his favorite colorful marshmellow candy, "this, I bought you this on my way here."


He took it from me and looked at the candy with a blank look.


"I remember you liked it so much so I thought it wouldn't hurt to buy 2, and also...."


"What's this brother for?" Cut it with a cold voice.


"Yes!!" My revision.


"Why did you come here, how did you know I was here?" He asked in a flat, piercing voice.


I was shocked to hear his words even more I remembered all the stories about his time in Dafa, but I calmed my heart because Sakurai was none other than my sister-in-law.


"Dafa told me, I forced him!!" Answer trembles.


Sakurai was silent a thousand languages, he didn't even look at me.


"Sacurai!!"


"For what?" Ask again, "what did you see me for?"


"Sacurai!!" Call me again gently, "Archie, he needs you!"


He quickly stared cruelly at me after I said that name, he even stuck out dozens of daggers with just one look.


"Do you think I'll care about someone who doesn't even care about his own life and someone he thinks is valuable." Somersaulting with a quivering tone, I'm sure he wants to explode, "i've devoted my whole life, my life, only to follow him to obey his words, to take care of his affairs, all I do for his sake, all I do for his sake, but what I got."


I lowered my head and clenched my hands above my knees, I could feel how Sakurai felt towards Archie all this time.


"Am I no longer useful?" He spoke again in a low but trembling voice. "Did she no longer need me after what I've done so far for her?"


I would love to tell him that he misunderstood the situation, but I can't say that he's in an explosive condition. Look at her face that was flushed red from restraining anger, she kept her tone even though she wanted to go berserk.


"7 years ago after my mother threw me away and wished me to die as if I had never been born, I was determined to avenge me so that she would feel a hell no one else could have imagined, so I try harder than anyone, practice 10x fold at the age of normal children playing on the playground." The story goes, "i killed many innocent people when a child of my age was just learning to hold a toy sword for war, I've abused a lot of parents when a kid my age obeyed his mother's father out of respect, I've taken a lot of other people's property and even burned their houses down when I was just getting to know what compassion is." He started to explode but his voice remained steady at a low tempo.


"I am wrought by circumstances, sometimes if I think of my mother who has the heart to throw me away even let me be raised by people who even live by eating her own feces, I want to eliminate everyone who has a family, I want them to feel what I feel. Therefore when there is a duty to slaughter a troubled family, I eagerly fulfill it even without paying." His expression was like a vulture feasting on his prey during a long drought, even my hands trembling to hear it.


He chuckled and his face changed drastically. "I remember that day!!" He said as he sat down and let go of his chauffeur, "he came and said some disgusting nonsense, that our father was the same, that I was his little brother whom he had longed for, that all this time I wasn't alone, that I still had family out there, that I was.." he looked down and couldn't stand it, his melancholic feelings bursting into his head. "That all this time he's been looking for my whereabouts, that if my mother doesn't want my whereabouts she wants me."


His body trembled violently, until like that he held back so as not to release his own emotions.


"Of course, at first I rejected all of his nonsense!!" He said again with a defiant look and refused to release the tears that seemed to well up in his eyes. "But he offers something very interesting!"


All I could do was listen to him, though eager to ask, all of it stopped immediately if he looked at him who had a strange look on his face along with an excited feeling that I could not explain.


"He challenged me to kill my own mother, and to bring my mother's head before him." I trembled with my mouth smothering, in my hands clenching cold sweat gushing across my palms.


"If I succeed, I may slaughter all the members of his family, then all his wealth, his office, and also his family's property will fall to me, and if I fail." he kept silent for a moment, "I have to follow him."


Long Sakurai was silent, he incised himself by taking a deep breath, then he continued as he looked at me who kept silent listening to his continuation.


"I'm glad to hear his offer, the moments I've been waiting for my whole life have finally come, too, to avenge my mother who abandoned me and slaughtered the family I had a blood relationship with. Interesting no, it's like a pat of 2 mosquitoes" he continued. "I thought killing them all would be nice, I've imagined the times when they all died before my eyes. But do you know what kind of scenery I first saw when I came to my mother who had dumped me for the first time?!"


"What do you see?" I was trembling to imagine the answer.


Sakurai turned his face looking the other way. "He's waiting for me!!" Answer with a loud voice.


"Your mother?"


Sakurai nodded weakly. "He is ready to die" he replied.


For a long time he was silent, it seemed to tell the bitter story of his life was not an easy matter like his bragging thing.


"She was in aching hard, her body was thin until only skin and bones were left!!" Sakurai could not stand it anymore, the tears finally dripped themselves without being controlled. "In such circumstances he can still greet me and recognize me immediately, even though I intend to behead him."


Sakurai sobbed violently and held his own head. "When I've been waiting for this day, I've suffered a lot to get to this top, but why..why can't I do it?"


Ahh, yes. I finally understood why Sakurai came to this. I finally understood why Archie had arrived like that. They were both similar, they both suffered and had a hard time. However, if the flower without stems and leaves can still be called a flower, but if without petals the shape has even changed can no longer be said a flower. They both complement each other, which is why they feel disappointed in themselves as well as each other.


"On that day, I pledged my allegiance to follow Archie Yuaga wherever he went, even to the deepest hell I was willing to follow him!" His reddened eyes turned sharp, he was like an impenetrable fortress, which even needed to sacrifice more than 2000 souls to form a fortress, that was the purpose of his life, that was his goal, his dedication was to protect the king in the fortress.


"Back!" Without taking the tempo I immediately intercepted him.


He shook his head slowly, "didn't you understand all of my words?"


"It's been 4 days since you left, Archie locked himself in a room." I said, "he doesn't want to eat, doesn't want to see anyone, even the psychologist gives up."


"What's his business with me.."


"Back!" Cut me directly. "I know you're angry, but it's not like that."


"Sister mean?" Askinterested.


"That idea, all those plans, I did it. I told Archie not to tell anyone, I asked him to move on his own without knowing the risks, all that I did, it was all my actions. I don't think the impact would be like this, and suspect everyone without even investigating first." I clearly. "So please Sakurai, don't blame Archie, it's all my fault, be angry with me."


He was unmoved, the look on his face was loosening, the veins that had appeared on his forehead were now disappearing.


"Go back when it's time to come back, Archie needs you!!" My words are standing outside the cost.


He looked at me without saying anything in the doorway, his instincts were doubtful but he was a man, he had a mountain of pride and needed time to subside.
