Chapter 6: Chapter 6
She walked out to her mom who was washing dishes " Mom , can I go out with friends tomorrow?"
" Where are you going?"
" To the park"
" Sure, be careful "
" Thank you mom" she walked back to room.
He came out of shower, his phone screen was flickering suggesting a notification. He checked it .
" I will come to market at 10am"
He threw his phone on bed and and walked excitedly to dressing room with a faint smile. Her message was showing on the lit screen. The number was saved as " Sweet smell" .
The next day she walked to market in a royal blue frock. Hiro was already waiting for her. He was wearing black T-SHIRT with black pants. She walked to him nervously.
" Hi Moon"
" Hi" she replied in hushed voice at his bright smile.
" Where should we head first?"
" Did you asked me for a date without a plan?"
" Do we need to make plan...." He stopped talking after noticing her displeased expression.
"Let's just walk this way. We will think about it later " She pointed to their right at road that lead to nearby park and they started walking.
" Don't make it obvious that you haven't dated anyone instead sl__"
He putted his hand on her lips " I will try " he let her go and keep walking.
She was fazed by his uncanny reaction but liked it at the same time. It seemed like bullying wasn't the reason she was walking with him. She looked at him from the side " He is such a cool person, why would he get into bad habits" She pondered taking a of him before looking ahead.
They settled on a bench after walking for a while in park.
" What about your family?" she asked.
"hmmm?"
" I mean you seemed to live alone"
" They don't like me because I am illegatimate child " he replied nonchalantly.
" No wonder he was wandering in the darkness " she thought , " Do you have any habits?" she tried to change the topic.
" I just play games hang around with friends and.....
She was looking at the movements of his beautiful shaped lips " Am I getting too drawn into him? why am I feeling anxious?"
" Are you listening to me?"
" Hehh?" she replied as she wasn't paying attention.
" Hehh? Heehhh ? You should pay attention to me. What are you thinking about?"
" Sorry, sorry it was just too boring " she started laughing. He started to laugh together with her.
They kept chatting about things and walking. Hiro was walking ahead of her on bridge. She was looking at his hands as she wanted to hold them " Hiro!"
He looked around. She walked to him " You can have skinship with me if you want "
Hiro who was hesitating due to assault that could have caused trauma to her , held her by her shoulders and kissed her on lips " This too?"
" mmm" she nodded and he kissed her once again and smiled brightly. It was his most attractive smile she watched.
" Where should we head next?" he asked walking backwards ahead of her.
" Wherever you want" she replied walking toward him.
" Should we go to my apartment? I will show you my garden and everything"
" Sure"
They took a taxi to head to his apartment. He lead her to a garden with all kinds of plants and flowers.
" Wahhh" she exclaimed looking at the beautiful flowers " They are so beautiful"
" Not more beautiful than you"
She blushed at his words. After giving her a tour he brought her to bed room " As you know this is the bed room"
She entered the room and looked back at Hiro who was standing near door. She gave him a peck on lips. It triggered him.
" Aren't we moving too fast" he closed the door and forced a kiss against her lips passionately leading her to bed.
On the other hand Haruma came to her house to show off his medal. He also wanted to check on her if she was doing alright.
" She said she is going to park with her friends" Her mother told Haruma.
" I see , I just wanted to brag about winning a gold medal "
" You are truly amazing. How could you win a gold medal every time you compete. Asahi is always top in the class too . Only Hana is playing around all day. She is not even athletic. What should we do about her?"
" She will get better slowly " Her father chimed in " Haruma! let's go to get some groceries. Your aunt will make something good in congratulations.
Haruma stood up and followed his lead to supermarket. In front of supermarket they saw Hana hugging Hiro and waving her hands on him with a bright smile. As she looked ahead, her father and Haruma were standing in front of her. Her father held her hand and dragged her away. Hiro expressions became depressed. Haruma looked at him and followed his uncle back.
**o**
Hana was sitting on sofa and Haruma was sitting on one side. Her dad was walking around anxiously.
" What is your relationship with him" he asked.
" We are dating" She replied in low and scared voice.
" How could you date a person who assaulted you "
" Assault " Her mother questioned while Haruma looked at her with shock " That's why he was about to punch me. But she said they were not dating "
" But dad he said he will change "
" Change?" Her father ranted " did you say change. People like him never change. You are just too young to know things better "
" Haruma!" He called.
" Yes"
" What do you think about her?"
"Dad!" she called desperately.
Haruma looked at her " what changed her so much overnight " he pondered.
" Haruma you reply me " her dad insisted.
" She is a good person. I do like her . But uncle __"
" Then it's decided, we will hold engagement soon" her dad announced " I will discuss it with your parents. You can get married once you settle down "
At this point her eyes were filled with tears. Things were happening suddenly that she wasn't able to defend herself and Hiro.
