Good Evening Ladies... Here's my update, Enjoy...
arty:
After dinner, Mayumi didn’t refuse ‘Ayako’ (
Ryu’s maid) that came in the room and volunteers to help with her hairdo. Ryu went to his room to dress. Mayumi put on a light green flare skirt knee length; it is a shirt and skirt as one piece with deep square neck and sleeveless in accordance to fashion at that time suitable to wear to nightclub. Mayumi puts on make-up and Ayako fixes her hair. While fixing Mayumi’s hair Ayako mentions she used to help Plewdao with her hairdo and she misses her. Seeing her sad expression, Mayumi ask “Oyabun doesn’t bring women here?” Ayako met Mayumi’s eyes for a second then immediately dodge and answer her genuinely “He dates many women but never date them long and in the past he sometime brought them here”
Mayumi with disgruntle voice “a womanizer like him would not stop at anyone”
Ayako trying to reason “Please don’t say it like that Miss, Oyabun is young and he has his needs, he works hard and would like to relax” “and he doesn’t want to make you lose your concentration since you were still in school”
only if Ayako knows, Ryu dating different women like that worsen her concentration…
Ayako continues…”Oyabun never interested and concern for anyone as much as he has for you, since that day he made you angry. He tries pleasing you and also tells all of us to take very good care of you. Before, there were many women that wanted to come and stay here but he never let anyone until he has you here” by hearing Ayako saying that it makes her feel rejoice and to know she’s more special than other women, but still opposing, she then said “once he is tired of me, he’ll discard me just like others”
Ayako: “oh no… no…don’t say that, all men in this house have one love and one heart since modern grandfather and great-grandfather, they never had ‘Ane-san’ (a mistress) …err…except Miss ‘Saeko’ (
Plewdao) because at that time Takashi already has a fiancé and she is to be “Okami-san”
Mayumi turns toward Ayako and ask “It’s that true that this family never had Ane-san?”
Ayako answers with confidence: “yes, it is true and if you don’t believe you can ask Koji, he has serves this family for a long time and he will assure you that men from this family all have one love and one heart”
Mayumi still feeling unhappy then mumbles “If I was chosen to be loved, it would be good…Oyabun used to say he never loved anyone because it is vulnerable”
Ayako discouraged; Oyabun loves Mayumi wholeheartedly but still stubborn, she then said “but I know he loves you, please believe me, an old person like me can’t never be wrong, don’t forget I raise him since child, and there’s nothing about him that I would not know”
Mayumi shakes her head slowly “if he loves me, he wouldn’t…err…force me…people who love each other they care and cherish each other they do not force”
Mayumi smile, turn left and right looking at her-self. She deliberately applying more make-up than usual because she knows she may have to compete with women at the nightclub and she is confidence that she is beautiful as those women because she doesn’t wants Ryu to look at any women except her.
Ayako: “Beautiful”
Mayumi: “thank you” she looks at the mirror again and smile. Before Ayako opens the door for her she said “Have a great time Miss”
“Thank you” Mayumi thank Ayako again for helping and right before she passes the door, Ayako lightly touch her arm and said “there’s one more thing I’d like to suggest Miss”
“What is it” Mayumi raise an eyebrow
“It’s about Oyabun, I think if you cool down a bit, reasoning with him and give him time, you will see him decent. And this man seeing from the outside maybe hard to understand but whenever you get to be in his heart you will be able to easily read him, believe me” Mayumi met Ayako care and sincere eyes before she lightly sigh and nodded
“Ok, I will try” Mayumi answered and stepped out of the room and down the stairs…
Ryu waited at the bottom of the stairs. He walked from the living room to the stairs as soon as he heard the door upstairs slide open guessing Mayumi is probably done, and then he saw slender legs in light green dress step down. Her waist wrapped with thick black leather belt, above the belt it’s a sleeveless shirt with deep neck that makes him want to capture her in a room because he doesn’t want anyone to see her white with pinkish skin that emerge, nonetheless, it is good that her rolled hair nestle on her naked shoulder and cover to her chest. He watches with admiring eyes, but still not pleases with her dress it’s too revealing.
Legs that stepping down suddenly halt for a little bit, when she sees Ryu in black suit. His hair oil, hair on the side of his ears are comb to the back, the middle comb up high, strands falling on forehead with sideburn (
translator’s note: image of Elvis Presley’s hairdo appears when I translate this sentence J). He looks gorgeous. She stumbles on his heated eyes but then they changed to displeased, she stopped on the last step, unconvinced and ask “you don’t like it?”
“No…” he quickly answered. How can he say he doesn’t like because he likes it too much. He is not please that others will see her in this dress, but since they are going to nightclub he can’t let her dress unimpressed so he smile sweetly and continues “you are beautiful, I don’t want to go and I want to stay home with you instead”
Mayumi huffs “It took me a long time to get ready; if we were to be at home then I wouldn’t waste too much time dressing up”
Listening to her saying that makes Ryu laugh out loud before he reach and grab her hand and put it on his arm and said “well, then we shouldn’t waste any more time, all those men in the club will be jealous of me to have such a sexy and beautiful future Okami-san.
She glances at him with a better mood. Her hand holds onto his arm and walks out to his Mercedes Benz that park waiting in front. She’s surprised to see two vans and a car, one van in front and the other behind his car. She frown with uneasy feeling, she didn’t think he would bring this many bodyguards with him. As she was stepping in the car she asks “this is a big problem isn’t it?”
Seeing concerns in her eyes, Ryu nods and explain “police are suspecting that I’m involve in drug trafficking with Miura or maybe the opposing of interests that I have to get rid of him.
“And the truth is”
“The truth is, I’m never involved with Miura illegal business. He and I know each other and because he relies on me when he first starts his nightclub in Yokohama and until his business expands to three branches. I know he provides drugs to his customers at the club and I had warned him that he should be careful the police are watching him. He told me he had stopped and he was trapped by the undercover police pretending to buy drugs two weeks ago. Many of his men disappeared and two dead bodies appeared on my ship…and what do you think”
“Mmm...” she nodded her understanding “and who do you think did that?”
“There are two people that want to see me ruined, Kobayashi and Takao”
The last person she understand why he wants to destroy Ryu (
Ryu beheaded his father), but the first person she doesn’t understand why he has to do this.
“Why did the police commander get involved?”
“I have many times self-asking but never got answers, unless he personally hates me without any reason. From observation, many times the police have been disturbing and creating difficulties for my business. Sometimes products are just quarantined and claiming they are searching for illegal substance and drugs. This makes me unable to export products on time and causing millions of yens.
“And what did you do?” she asked with anxiety
“Litigating the police is all I can do”
“Ok, there will be no more of that problem, right?”
“there shouldn’t be” he slowly nodded “but it looks like problem is not going to end, this time is worse, they thrown bodies on my ship this task will be a little tiresome because of the evidence. Ryu continues “that just the first problem. The problem that follows is the relationship between us and Miura, the ever help each other will be shaken if we do not quickly fix this problem.
“Is this the reason we are coming here?”
Ryu nodded “yes, and the reason I came prepared is just in case of unforeseen situation but I think we will be able to discuss and come to an agreement without using force.
“Oh” Mayumi with concern, lift both of her hands and place them on her chest
“Don’t worry young lady, I will protect you and if there’s force majeure I will have my men escort you home first” Ryu lightly pat her hands for reassurance
“I wish you and Miura can come to an agreement because he is your only ally” she flip up her hand and place on top of his as an encouragement for him. Ryu send her his thank through his smiles.
Their car pulls up to the front of the club “seven seas” (
translator’s note: does this name sound familiar to you?) the door opens and Mayumi step down follow by Ryu. The young females hostesses rushing to welcome them and took them to the reserved table next to the stage and dance floor.
In the dark room there were colorful lights flashing from side to side from the spotlight. Her table is complying with luxury semi-circular sofa that facing the stage and terracing tiers to the dance floor. She and Ryu were at the rear seats which they can clearly see the stage and the surrounding. Even though is a week day, but most of the tables were half reserved including customers that were on the dance floor that dance to the music that the hostess sings on the stage. Mayumi scanning the room and her eyes saw 3 men walking toward her table. Ryu follows her gaze then he stood up to greet, as seeing him do that she follows, Ryu then introduce “my fiancé, Takahashi Mayumi and here’s my good friend Miura Airu” Mayumi not please with Ryu introducing her as his fiancé, but when in public she shouldn’t argue because it is considered bad manner and disrespectful she then bow her head for the elder
Mayumi: “Nice to meet you”
Airu returns her greeting with a smile: “same here and it’s a great honored that Oneshika Oyabun brought his beautiful fiancé to my nightclub”
Then all of them seated. Mayumi glances at 4 of Ryu’s bodyguards that stand warily behind, they are more rigorous and stress than before Airu came to the table.
Ryu: “You probably heard all the news including that I was called in for interrogation today”
Airu didn’t answer and his eyes looking toward Mayumi
Ryu immediately said: “I have no secret with my future Okami-san; you can say anything without worrying, because I trust her more than life”
Mayumi heard what he said and looks at him with gratitude. Ryu turns toward her and make eye contact with warmest smile to let her know he means what he said.
Airu: “I was informed by the police that the two bodies were my employees and it’s strange that they appeared on your ship, instead of have been thrown to the ocean.
Ryu: “that is because someone purposely leaving evidence and specifically choose me.
Airu: “that’s right; it looks like a set up scene and it is too obvious, starting from killing my men in your area and thrown dead bodies on your ship, what you say?” Airu shakes his head a little and let out a mocking voice
Both men exchange gratitude toward each other and settled their business then Airu excuse himself to go serve other guests.
Mayumi: “lucky that he’s friendly and easy to understand”
“And he’s reasonable too” Ryu added before sighing. Pick up his glass of brandy, take a sip and said “let’s go dancing”
Mayumi face warp: “but I’m not good with dancing especially disco dance”
Ryu: “disco is for kids, and for adult like us it would have to be ballroom dance”
Mayumi said with a bit of embarrassment: “I’m not good at that either, I know a few steps”
“Just come with me” he cut her from protesting further, grab her hand and walk down the steps to dance floor and as she reach the floor the new song stats with cha cha cha beat which is enough for Mayumi to be able to dance to but when she is paired with a young spontaneous society like Ryu, she feels courage enough to spins and follow his steps. He’s a great leader and she dance smoothly and seamlessly. Soon, she begins to feel that she had dance through multiple rhythms, not realizing that she used to be an inexpert. All she knows she’s enjoy dancing with him and she’s able to follow his steps and forgot all about the time then the band stops playing before it changed to a slow song together with dimmed lights.
Mayumi thought that the club is letting their customers a break from the continuous dance so she turns about to go back to her seat, but Ryu pulls her into an embrace and wrap his arms around her waist very different from the dance that just finished.
“What type of dance is this?” she’s wondering when he took her hands and places them on his large shoulders
“No types in particular, just move to the music” Ryu says and look at Mayumi. She was looking at other couples around, he then tightens his arms around her to make her ignore them and turn to look at him again when she heard his question “when should we set our wedding date, I want us to be married as soon as possible because I don’t want to disembowel myself “ he feebly confessed.
Mayumi secretly smiles despite her vulnerable heart she still wants him to conciliate a little bit more in order for him to know the demerit of wrong doing so she tries putting up strict face and said “we both agree to one month, everything is subject to the agreement and you will need to keep your promise”
He was thinking as time passes by with all the sweet moments they had today will make her forget about the agreement “Will you forgive me then we quickly get married next week” he moaned.
“No, I won’t” She looks up at him with serious eyes “if you afraid of disembowel yourself then keep your hands far away from me and go back to sleep in your bedroom”
“No, I want to stay with you, want to hug you every night, and I miss you so much throughout the day…you know. I frequently think of how beautiful you are on that morning; your body is perfectly beautiful and I want to enjoy you in every way that a man could show his love for his woman…” he pause for a bit to synchronize their eyes before he continues “I feel guilty to act against your will, but I do not regret to possess you. I have never experienced the most beautiful feeling like this with anyone except you”
His voice was sweet and squeaky, tells the mood of the speaker well. Mayumi cheeks flash hot and the heat runs uncontrollable throughout her body, she admitted she was angry that he was so enraged and refused to listen and force her but she does not regret that she is his, because that is what she has been waiting for all her life.
“I have yet given in to you” she tries to answers with serious voice but her knees are weakening from his sweet and seductive whisper “your time is one month for you to prove your sincerity”
Their eyes are firmly fixed until they stop moving to the sound of music. Ryu looks at her with protest, but she refused to give in
“I never thought a beautiful lady like you to be such so tough” he said it like a rebuke before he squeeze hard on the tip of her nose.
“You’re the one that started all of these” she replies mockingly “that’s the consequences of your action” she tries not to laugh when she said that, but then she see him doing the same thing, they both couldn’t hold it any longer so both laugh out loud and he tighten his embrace and she wrap her arms around his neck and place her cheek on his shoulder and move along the music.
Once the sweet song end, they went back to their table get ready to leave since it’s getting late and she has to go to work early. Airu came to say farewell and left to another table. Ryu holding on to Mayumi’s hand and walk out to their car. Nobuo (bodyguard) opens the door, Mayumi steps in first and Ryu to follow when a black van pulled alongside then a sound of dozen bullets broke out violently…
