"Yu...Yuu-ma?" I pronounce his name and he nod his head with a chuckle face. "Do you wanna go out?" I talk in whisper. "I think they are gone now I saw them leaving somewhere."
After convincing him we crawl out from the table and offers him my hand when he was slowly to his feet in the process of getting up.
"Look! I found him!!" A boy of about the same the age, shouts by calling his mates. "Scaredy-cat on a run!" He squeak and his boys comes rushing over. "Look... who's sweating like pig." He jest folding his arms in attitude and his face twist in a mockery laugh.
Yuuma whines moving to my side and I turn up to defend him, "He is not any scaredy cat, he's got a name!" I protest.
"What what did you just say??" He scornfully jerk his head which I returns it with a glare.
"Woah girl." He step back with his hands raised in the air sarcastically. "Look we don't pick fights with girls. Hand him over to us and we let you go ahaha." He snicker and his boys followed him.
"I won't. He's my friend now!"
"Well...we only wanted to have some fun. We don't harm." Said he with a sly smile.
"You want to play with them?" I speak in a murmur to him. He voicelessly shake his head behind my back. "See?" I glance over at them. "He said he doesn't want to play with you."
He utter something beneath his breath and make his annoyance plain. "Tch. Why are you trying to defend a chicken like him?" He grins. "You see he is scared of bugs and everything he sees." He sniggers and his boys laughs giving high five to one another.
Yuuma's grasp tightens. "I - I am not scared! I just hate." He scowl behind.
"Ignore them. Let's go Yuuma kun." I tell him and turn to the boys in fiery face then stuck out my tongue and make face at them in ugly expression.
They blinked their eyes in disbelief and a laugh take place as if they were entertained. "Pfft! What is she?"
Then I grab his hand and we disappears among the crowd.
"Thank you." He say in admiration. "You were so brave there."
"Hehe. Thanks. What are friends for?" I say pridefully but it crushes in an instant when my tummy makes a rumbling sound.
He titters and laughs. I blush in embarrass and cup my face from redness.
Suddenly a voice called him, "Yuuma!" It was a woman.
"Mum!!" He run over to her and hugs her tight. What mum? Is she by chance his mom? She is pretty.... There was also a man seen beside them. He must be his dad. Then I notice mama and papa along with them beckoning me to come there. So I walk over to them.
"Where did you go?" Asked the woman to him.
"Just here and there...hehe."
When she see me, she kindly smile to me and lean over to my height, "Aw is this Ame Chan?" She rest her hand on her knees and pat my head from the other hand.
"Yes, she is my friend...." Told Yuuma. "And she is a very nice girl."
"Oh...." She chuckles upon hearing and turn her attention to my parents and gave a knowing smile as if they were glad about something. "Did you hear Mr. Yusaku?"
Papa smile in glad, "Guess they don't need an introduction when they've already met."
"This match making will surely bring fortune to our company." Said the man. "Congratulations Mr Yusaku! this makes you my co-father-in-law." Congratulated the man in mustache in a high pitch with an opened arms.
Papa make a short laugh and hug him back. "So when should we issue the contract?"
"Anytime you say...."
"What do you mean by this contract papa?" I grip his hand shaking it for his attention.
He smiles, "It means you are going to be that little boy's bride in the future."
"You mean Yuuma kun?"
A sudden commotion from the back draws my thoughts and I glance back once to see what all the noise was about then a smug smile swept across my face. So to my guess one of my brothers had accidentally spilled the drinks on the ladies which ruin their dresses. The ladies fussed how expensive their dresses were but they get ignored which get even worse and exits in extreme annoy from humiliation. Serve them right, I mutter from inside. And my dear brothers, continued to watch me close with a frown on their faces as if they were unhappy by something.
