CHAPTER 4

As for Lena and Daichi . . . . .

            They had already arrived at Daichi's ancestral house. It was a large mansion where his father and mother both lived. They were both very nervous. It was already late and Lena had no excuse on why she had left the house without anyone's knowledge.

            “Don't worry . . . . I'll take care of everything. Just keep quiet okay?” Daichi said to Lena as he gently held her hand to give her support.

            Lena nodded and smiled. “Thank you,” she uttered.

            As soon as they both stepped out of the car, they already saw Daichi's father and mother who were already waiting for them on the steps of the stairs leading to the front of the house.

            Lena looked at Daichi. She was suddenly afraid of what the old man might say to them.

            “Where have the two of you been?” the old man asked.

            “We just went out for a stroll . . . .” Daichi answered casually.

            “Stroll? . . . . A date? Is that it?” the man asked again.

            “Yes,” Daichi replied. “There is nothing wrong if I take her out right?” he asked with a smile.

            The old man smiled back. “Yes . . . . that is very good. You can go on dates as often as you like. The two of you will be formally engaged anyway . . . . So the two of you should already be used to one another by now. I want you to be good to one another . . . . understood?”

            “Yes . . . . “ Daichi and Lena both answered.

            Daichi's mother suddenly approached Lena. She quickly took Lena by the arm and ushered her into the house.

            “Come on dear . . . . It's already cold and you might get sick. And what kind of clothes are you wearing? I told you to never wear jeans and t-shirts anymore,” the older woman said as she gently touched Lena's face.

            “Look at your face . . . . You look pale, Lena . . . Daichi . . . What did you do to her? You didn't take good care of her . . . did you?” his mother asked Daichi with a glare.

            “Mother . . .” Daichi uttered. He wanted to protest. . . but suddenly just decided to stay quiet.

            “Daichi! How many times do I have to tell you that Lena is your future wife. You should learn how to take care of her. She's not like the other girls you used to go out with. Next time you take her out . . . make sure that she is well taken care of . . . .understand?” Daichi's mother said.

            Daichi looked at his mother helplessly, then just sighed. He knew that it was useless if he continued to argue with her.

            “Yes, mother,” he uttered.

            “Poor dear . . . . what did my careless son do to you?” the older woman lovingly said to Lena. She was very concerned with her. She already loved Lena like her own daughter.

            Lena somehow felt guilty. She looked at Daichi as if asking for help.

            Daichi just shook his head. He was somehow telling Lena to just pretend and avoid talking at all.

            “Come on, Lena. Have you eaten yet? I'll prepare something special for you,” Daichi's mother said.

            “Thank you . . . . but I have already eaten. . . I mean . . . . we already ate,” Lena suddenly said. She didn't know how to hide the nervousness that she felt. She was afraid that Daichi's parents would find out that they weren't telling the truth.
