There was a moment of silence in the whole hall. A point to note that the teachers were not present in the hall as the teachers usually have their lunch in the staffroom unless. there was a special occasion. Adam was a bit surprised as why he was apologizing so suddenly when yesterday he was full of rage.
Kai said while still bowing, "there was chaos yesterday and I was really worried about the safety of my sister and then after what you did, I wasn't able to control my anger. I am sorry". Adam stood up from his chair and said, "I am sorry too. I acted recklessly".
Kai said, "However, it was due to James's help that I was able to understand the situation clearly. You saved my sister and I, instead of thanking you, slapped you. You probably didn't even know the reason why I was so angry".
Adam said, "It took me a moment to realize my mistake. I would have never guessed you were from that clan". Then finally Angelina had enough and she stood up from her seat and said, "Would somebody explain what is happening?!"
James then said, "You see Angelina, Kai and Hana are from the Tachikaze clan. This clan is very rare and has a very particular rule for the woman born there. That is when they are of age, if the women willingly give her hand to a male who is not his brother or any relative, she has to marry that man".
Somebody from the white wave said, "That would explain his anger. As who would have given her sister to an unknown man". Kai said, "However, the reason didn't matter. I should have not acted like that. I have brought shame to my clan".
Adam than grabbed him by the shoulders and said, "Your actions did not bring any shame to your clan, but shows the dedication and iron clad rules of your clan. And more importantly, it showed your love for your sister. And that's how a brother should act. If I had a sister and if she was in this kind of situation, I would have probably killed that man on the spot".
Then he sat back on his chair and said, "And don't think that I have a grudge against you. You are one of the most patience person that I have met who had finished such a commotion with just a slap and later even came to ask for forgiveness for it. I commend this attitude".
A joyful expression appeared on his face and kai thought, "James was right about him. He is perfect for her...". Adam picked up a glass and started drinking the water through the mask. Actually, that mask was not a mask. It was just a visual projection of a mask and actually he didn't wear any mask.
Then Kai said with a joyful expression, "So, about the marriage...". Then suddenly Adam puked the water that he was drinking and muttered, "M-Marriage? B-But I thought that things could be resolved by...". Kai interrupted, "By divorce? You can't stamp such a
dishonor as a divorce on such a poor girl, can you? Anyway, you have passed my test of an honest heart and your power is more than enough for me to stop worrying about her protection and I think she even likes you".
Suddenly someone runs from the white wave table to the exit of the main hall. It was probably Hana and her friends were muttering about her blushing. "See, you can't say no. Rather you don't have the option". Kai said with a dark look on his face.
Adam muttered, "B-But Marriage? N-Now?". Kai said, "It don't have to be now...." Adam
took a sigh of relief but then Kai said again, "But an engagement is in urgent need to make it official". Adam was again in a mess. Everybody was telling him to accept it. Even his own colleagues. So, there was no choice
for him and he said, "F-Fine". Then his colleagues picked him up and took him to the changing room while on the other hand girls from white wave ran to fetch Hana. Then after a moment Adam was in a black suit standing on the stage of the main hall while Hana was brought by his brother. She was wearing a beautiful white gown with a white scarf.
She was still blushing but there were no signs of rejection. Somehow the teachers also got the news of the engagement ceremony and came there. But the situation was explained to them by Kai and he even showed them the approval of their parents. So, no commotion was caused and the teachers just enjoyed the ceremony.
The ceremony ended with both of them wearing identical rings and the student from the white wave who had the responsibility of the organizer even joked, "Now you may kiss the bride". Both blushed at this joke.
Finally the ceremony ended with a final picture to capture at a memorial memento.. However, everybody took this as an excuse and were hotting, "Take off the mask! Take of the mask!".
