"The birds flew up in the sky as he runs in the fields of dandelions.."

Hayami giggles as she looks at the sleeping child on her lap. Her fingers automatically ran through his soft and black hair. She picks up the kid and places him on her bed as she brushes her hair infront of her vanity.

"It takes an hour or two for toji to get Megumi to sleep."

She looks at the tall guy and smiles slightly. Her figure stood up as her eyes trail to a sleeping Megumi.

"Are you going to take him, Naoya-san?"

"Princess, just call me Naoya. Besides.. its rude to call your future husband like that."

He chuckles while teasing her. His charismatic face stared at her with pure adoration. It was what they call in love. Although, the maiden is blind to tell.

"I might not be married to you, N-naoya? You deserve someone more like... Hideko?"

"She's going to be married to my sibling. And i have the power to have you as my wife."

His cocky attitude was one thing the female hated. Although, she wasnt allowed to complain about it. She nodded quietly and looks at the moon.

"If I can marry you right now, i would have done it."

She looks at him confused and blushing.

"Why.. why do you want me?"

"Because youre different."

His quick response shocked the maiden. She is far from perfect, as what her mind says to her. His stare bothered her that she looks away from his sight.

"You would make a great house wife."

Her attention diverted to him once again. She was born to be house wife. And she cant change that. Her deceased mother was a house wife who wanted to have her own clan.

As much as she wants to fulfill her last wish, she wont be able to do it. Shes trapped in the toxic household. Where they believe that women are made to follow and obey men.

It sparked in her, as what her mother said.
Never let a man step on you.

Men..

"If youre gonna marry me because i will be a "good" housewife.. maybe you should look for another woman who is willing to do it."

Her voice became low and cold as she speaked up for herself. It felt... amazing she thought. It was a coming of age. Shes taking up to her role model.

Naoya was taken a back of her response. His eyes stared at her back as she hugs herself. It made him want her more.

His lips formed a smirk as he bid goodbye to her.

Hayami hears the door close as she sees her dead mom.

Stand up for yourself, dont let them step on you.

She opened her vision to reality. If her mom can do men's work, then she can. And no one will stop her.
