Chapter 6
Yuna's POV.
I don't understand myself. I should not have any pity on her after all that happens between us right?
But I can't just stand living her there.
When I tried to think of it, I never have seen her smile or laugh even once. Isn't that very normal for everyone to smile at least once in a while? Aside from that every time I see her there is always this sad aura that surrounds her. Even she is famous and very beautiful she is always alone. Why? I don't understand...
"Miss Shiroi, How long are you going to sulk there?"
I said. Then she raised her face. She looks at me with her teary eyes.
I feel like she is totally a different person from the cold-hearted and selfish woman that I hated before.
I don't know what is she going thru now but I want to help her.
I smiled at her at that moment and offer a hand.
She holds on it tightly.
She is shaking...
Is she that afraid when I left her.
-Oh!
Phew!
She lost her balance and almost fell. It's good that I catch her.
"Are you ok?" I asked helping her to stand.
I'm worried, Is she ok?
"Huh?" (surprised)
Suddenly she wraps her arms around me and embraces me tightly and she cried as she presses her face to my shoulder.
I tap her back to calm her down.
"Don't worry I won't leave you..."
We stayed like that for almost an hour.
"Ah..." My face turns paperwhite...
Oh no! I don't notice it. We are now surrounded by men in black. When did they found us?
Miss Shiroi released me from her embrace.
"You are very kind...I should not put you in trouble anymore..."
She said avoiding my eyes...
Ahhh! those sad eyes again.
Why do I hate them more than her cold expression towards me?
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"They are my bodyguards...I have to go with them."
She faces them...
"Please leave her be. All you want is me right? Just take me to my father now..."
That's it...No I can't let this end just like this...
"Wait!"
I grab her hand and hold to it tightly.
"If you take her, I will go as well. She is my friend now so I won't leave her side."
I look in Miss Shiroi's eyes and I know she is surprised.
I just smiled at her.
... I wonder what will happen to us from here...
*******a moment later*******
I am at the back of a car and Miss Shiroi is there holding my hands.
"Uhm...I really appreciate your kindness but what is your plan why you ask them to let you come with me?"
She asked worriedly.
I still feel her shaking, how can I let her go alone like this...
"Come on! What are you so afraid of, we will just go to meet your father right? Hahaha, everything will be fine..."
I said tapping her back.
I just feel frightening stares around me.
I look around...
Their faces are so frightening. They are all throwing sharp glares on me.
Eh! ...why all her guards looking at me like they will gonna kill me if I do something wrong...
Lord... please save me in this trouble...
"My father is heartless, he won't forgive anyone who goes against his will..."
"Really..."
I was stunned by her words and I started shaking...
"Wh... What do you think he will gonna do to us?"
I said stuttering in fear...
"I really don't know. He won't hesitate to take the life of people who go against him..."
.....I just turned as white as paper and I feel like my soul just scapes from my body...Yuna you are so stupid....how did you get in this trouble.
"Uhm...uhm...sorry your name...may I know your name?"
She awkwardly asked.
Eh? Have I not introduce myself to her yet?
"Yuna...My name is Shin Yuna..."
She grabs both of my hands and holds them together...
"Will it be ok if I will call you Yuna?"
What is wrong with her...she doesn't need to ask for it earnestly...
"Sure...no problem."
"Yuna...I am really sorry. I did and said lots of bad things to you but you still choose to stay with me...even putting your life in danger."
-For the first time she apologizes to me
...but please don't be...I actually starting to regret everything now...I only have one life...
"I'm so grateful to know you ..."
Ahhh....did she just smile at me?
I already know that she is pretty but... She is actually a hundred times prettier when she smiled and she even thank me for the first time...
"That's ok. As your friend now, I will help you with all might...We will get through this together.ok! "
-and hopefully, we are still alive...
****Shiroi's Residence****
This is the largest house I ever see. Is this even a real house? Its even three times larger compare to our school.
A maid opens the doors for us...
Her guard takes us inside...
So this is Mr. Shiroi Iwato... Miss Shiroi is right...her father's appearance is terrifying. The moment we entered his office I felt like I bump to a very big wall. He just glares at us silently while sitting in his table.
Like a Lion waiting for his prey...
Miss Shiroi just hold on my hand tightly.
Her father stands up and walks towards us.
I look at him while I hardly swallowed.
Miss Shiroi's hand turns cold and she started shaking again. She is more nervous now than earlier.
-What kind of father is he? That makes her daughter so frightened at him like this...
(Slapped!)
That was so quick, the sound of his hand hitting Miss Shiroi's face was heard all over the room.
"Are you crazy?"
I shouted angrily...
I see Miss Shiroi''s face turned red.
"And who are you to meddle in my family?"
"My name is Yuna! how dare you hurt her..."
I am so angry and I scolded him. I want to tell him how it's so wrong to treat her daughter like that but Miss Shiroi holds to my arms tightly...
"Yuna...I'm ok. It's my fault because I disobeyed him."
What the hell is she saying that it's ok? her face is swollen...
Miss Shiroi shove me aside and step forward...
"Father please forgive us. I promise I will follow all your words. I will meet that person you want me to marry and I will no longer cause you any trouble. Please...I beg you to let her go...I will do it all..."
Miss Shiroi beg in tears.
"What are you saying, Miss Shiroi? What do you mean you are going to meet someone and getting married. Aren't you still too young for that? Is that the reason why you ran away... Is that because he is forcing you to get married?"
I don't have anything to do with this...but I can't stand it...
"Yuna, please stop not... You should not meddle with this."
How can I just ignore this...
"I really hate those sad eyes...why? If you are hurt why don't you just say it? We are friends now, right? Can't you trust me?"
Her tears start pouring and she remains silent...
-I want to save you...I will make sure I will save you...
Wait I think I remember now...Akira suddenly change after today, gossips spread about them eloping, all students talking about their relationships and the family of that other guy whom she was supposed to get married to, what happened to him again? oh yeah...I think I know now how to help her...
"Mr. Shiroi, Can I talk to you alone."
Both of them are surprised by my request and obviously, it annoys Mr. Shiroi more.
"You stupid brat! You are really testing my patience, are you? Who the hell you think you are to ask for my..."
"Mendleton funds...Maruyama, Asuka..."
Mr. Shiroi was befuddled
"Yuna what are you saying?"
Miss Shiroi asked anxiously.
"Miss Shiroi, I need to talk to your father alone so can you leave us for a moment?"
I said with a smile so she won't get worried
"But..."
"Lure go outside!"
Her father shouted.
"I have to talk to her....or do you prefer me to end her life here...."
I became pale...can he really kill me?
I have to be careful with my words or I'm dead.
"Miss Shiroi..."
I put my hands to her shoulder and look straight in her very anxious eyes.
"I promise everything will be ok so just wait for me outside..."
I said with a smile to relieve her fear.
