As her parents were greeting the Kaji family, Aoi felt the heavy whistling echoing in her head. Still she heeded to the meeting room with the steady steps she couldn't hear.
The silence was a heavy weight lifted by Aoi and Usui as they were stabbing each other with sharp glares.
Then suddenly, Aoi put a well done smile on her face.
"Well, I wish to invite Sir Usui to the backyard garden, if you don't mind...eh... You are really handsome as people say. I am afraid I lack the knowledge about my future partner, wouldn't you mind if I have a brief chat with you? Sir Usui!"
"What the hell? What can I possibly do with_?Ouch!!"
Nora pinched Usui for not to speak more.
"I think that's a wonderful idea. Dear son have a little chat with Aoi-san, she's a nice lady~!"
that's how it ended with the sound of both's echoing steps all over the hallway to the backyard.
The second the door was closed behind their backs Aoi's expression metamorphosed. Usui in the other hand felt worried for a moment.
His heart started to beat so fast.
"Listen carefully. I know that we both disagree to this marriage, and I know well you have a girlfriend, right? Just... let's finish this, let's be married in papers, but we'll live our life as ordinary as it was before. What do you think?
Usui seemed so shocked, but he kept his calm, thinking in silence, speechless indeed, throwing his stears here and and there.
He knew well that he has to handle this issue with common sense. <
"I...Miss Aoi I don't really agree with you. I mean it's great, I don't want to be acquainted with you in any situation, never in the future either, but we can't just solve it like this. I have my pride and I need to keep it, I have a girlfriend, I can't be cheating with some other woman while I am married, it's just immoral."
"Now that you mention it, it makes more sense. The whole Japan will share the news, no one of the aristocratic families will miss such news. Besides, the kaji's heir's got a wife and a girlfriend will be the common topic, that'll bring up great problem not only to your family, but mine too. So you can keep your meetings with your girlfriend discreet as nobody needs to know about it. You can enjoy the company of your girlfriend in the shadows and we can enjoy serenity in this relationship. For this period of time try to restrict your meetings with your girlfriend, but phone calls will be okay. Just for this period of time as the news appeases. Then after a while I think nobody's going to really pay attention to us. What do you think?"
"what do I think??!! oh my God! I've never thought about facing such confusing Bullshit in my life!"
<>
"Okay! I agree! Just let the f****** go well and never mention me in your life until everything calms down"
then both went back to the meeting room. Everyone was so perplexed and Confused seeing both of them well smiling.
"it was really nice knowing you! I wish we get along well in the future as partners"
Said Aoi, smiling and trying as hard to hide the fact that her cheeks were shaking.
"Hahaha!" Laughed Natishia, her mother, without even noticing herself laughing so suddenly.
"Oh dear! Excuse me, I really love how much you two get along. I think it's settled then and both of them agree as well, so we may prepare for the party! isn't it honey!"
"Yeah! well, I see that's a good idea then. It's all going so smooth and we are well prepared for the bright future awaiting both families, that after centuries agreed to be one."
"Well about that father, I want the marriage to be discreet, no party, nothing, just the news mentioning it all over Japan. but I want the marriage to be just signing paper_"
"How dare you speak! What do you mean, such big family as the kashi would keep such an important marriage pass without a big celebration which all the world will be talking about. That's absurd!"
Interrupted Mori Kashi with his rough voice which deafens the ears.
"No! Sir, I mean Mori-sama. Me too, I agree that marriage must be discreet, no rush for the party. I...I have exams all over the next month, we need ...we just... let's sign the marriage certificate and we are all done. We'll talk about the celebration another day. Maybe about a year later, that's no problem. We need to get to know each other well anyways!"
Both fathers seemed well considering the idea.
"Well if you say it like that, I think my son has started to finally meet some common sense."
Smirked Huan Lin then looked at Mori, who gave him the nob of agreement.
"Now, as we brought the municipal Aid personally, to witness in this place, at this very moment the marriage, you may both sign the certificate." Continued Huan
<<...that's it! that's how it is!? it'll all end like this??>> The loud voices were driving Aoi crazy.
As for Usui. He didn't waste time, nor looked bothered with any thoughts. He took the pen and quickly signed the certificate. Then spread his arms and crossed his legs.
He looked up the ceilings then back down at Aoi:
The hands shaking, the forehead sweating cold, Breathing heavily as well. She was having difficulty signing, it took her a while and it was obvious how hard she was trying to hide her distress.
She signed the certificate and the marriage was well done. As the silence was ripping both families' comfort, the meeting didn't take long until the Kaji family Departed.

"...and that's what she said, then she told me that I can have a girlfriend and a wife at the same time. Maybe she's an absolute lunatic!"
Usui's laughters were mixed with the sounds of gunshots as he was playing video games while phone calling Ahmed.
"hahaha!! Bro there's no way !! I mean seriously? now that I think about it, you just go to Tachibana and say: Hi my wife said we can meet at the moment_."
"I know man, I know, just thinking about it gives me goosebumps. It's confusing, as the media will be spreading the news all over Japan. I need to restrict my meetings with my girl. That's at least the most that I am well convinced with! You're still at the gym?"
"Yeah brother! keeping myself fit LOL, at least someone have to come regularly. You've been skipping gym here and there, it's been 3 days. Bro just take your time,when you calm down come with me. It's really refreshing doing few hours of cardio"
"you're still up for some?"
"Nah! I just finished, I'll go back in 10 minutes. Just let me hang up I have to go shower before leaving"
"K,k good for you hercules lol"
"Haha, you're jealous? Don't worry, it's all about the hearts"
"Yea ,yea, right, Buddha. just go!"
"Lol ,good night!"
"Umhm"

while Ahmed was showering, part of his huge silhouette was reflected on the Misty glass door of the showering room and the other part was hidden by his clothes hanging on the door . As he was always shy to go out half naked to his locker.
One of the guys was walking blind, admiring Ahmed's build. Until,suddently, he slipped and made Ahmed's clothes all soaked wet as he tried to hang on them.

"Again hamoud~ am so~ sorry about the accident, I know How compressed shirts make you uncomfortable, but son that's all I have"
"Coach, please, it's ok. No needa worry, I'll just...hang my towel around my neck, um? " Raised his arms motioning his final look.
"If you're fine with it son, please be careful! Byebye~"
Leaving the gym, Ahmed turned forward after a long waving. Drying his hair with a hand and hiding his abs, which were shown in details through the shirt, as if sculptured, with the other. He's cheeks blushing and his expression wide worried.
Until he witnessed a man dragging a young lady to a nearby dark alley . He followed them trying to help, and awaited not far away to eavesdrop.
"AMANEE! It's all for the good, you don't think so? I know you need money and I have it, just bring that brain of yours to work a little!! Huh?"
