NIGHT WAS APPROACHING. WHITE STARS SHONE, ACCOMPANYING THE MOON'S GLEAM.
***
Everyone had long gone to their rooms after dinner.
Some lingered around the temple gardens to appreciate the moon.
But they still had to get to bed soon.
Makoto was one of them.
While he was staring at the moon, he thought about Shina.
He wondered where she was. Maybe she's asleep, or somewhere else.
He's always thinking about her.
Soon, a memory flashed through his mind.
===== Makoto's memory =====
I remember studying books about managing a company and everything else i needed to know about buisness.
Anything a company heir should know.
As i was buried in my books , my father told me to follow him into the living room.
The mansion was enormous, but i still made it through which room it was.
I saw a pretty girl wearing thick amd heavy makeup, dressed in expensive luxury.
She wore a diamond necklace.
She smiled with her mother beside her.
Her mother dressed just like her.
My father led me and sat me down, the chair opposite the two guests.
My father started talking.
"Makoto! this is Rei Sanagi and her daughter, Reina Sanagi." He proudly mentions.
I shook my hand with hers and her mother.
Then i remembered and recognized them.
They were the step family that married into the Sanagi family after Asa sanagi died from a mysterious illness.
I heard Enare Sanagi died too. He was the father of Kesata Sanagi and husband to Asa Sanagi.
Kesata Sanagi died too. Some killer killed him. And is still on the loose, leaving Rei and Reina alone.
My father snapped me out of my thoughts.
"Makoto! we have arranged a marriage for you and Reina, I hope you're happy with it." He suddenly popped the words and intentions on why these guests were here.
But i just met her. I can't marry someone i just met.
"I'm sorry. I can't agree to this bethrohal." I stood up and walked quickly down the hallways to my room.
I left the guests unhappy aswell.
After that, i remember my father threatening to disown me if i never agreed and that my younger brother will be the successor instead of me.
That's how i ended up here.
==== Memory closes ====
I held my hand and crossed it.
I gazed at the moon, still and quiet.
Beautiful and admired.
I smiled a little and headed back.
Can't be staying out too long.
