See Saw

Chapter 2

"Your outer appearance is what everyone will judge not you inner soul"

Kira's POV-:

Nothing about Seoul has actually changed except for the busy streets and the vast buildings. Coming out of the airport we spotted Appa waiting for us and his smile was all I had been dying to see for so long. I ran into his arms burying my face in his chest just like I used to do since I was a kid, my  heart was getting heavier for being away from him for so long. Unni too hugged him like there was no tomorrow, and after getting a bit stable emotionally we parted from him and he gave us a bright and cheerful smile which can definitely beat down the sun.

"Appa! I told you not to come here, why don't you....." Unni was cut down as appa glared at her and answered, "Yah! I can't really wait for you guys to come back home. I have to see you both as soon as possible" and his pout can really melt away anyone's anger and tiredness. Unni chuckled at his antics as the driver got our things in the trunk and we drove our way back to our home.

Reaching the mansion we found Mom waiting for us and as soon as we got out of the car she pulled unni into a hug and then hugged me too.it really took me by surprise. I don't remember if she had ever welcomed me this heartedly. Her feelings where loyal and i could feel it . Maybe returning back to my family was not a bad idea . The place was still the same, with our rooms just the way we left it except for the cleanliness and it was so ethereal to get the homey feeling back after so many years of being in a foreign country.

*******************************

It has been a week since the Yoon sisters returned back from the States, but they where too workaholic to be away from their profession for so long .They have started working on their designing alredy. It was much more fun and comfy for them to work from home.Kira was in Sofia's room when their Mom called out for Kira to her room. Kira without wasting a single second ran towards her mother's room, overjoyed with the special treatment she was getting since she had returned. It was strange though but getting the love and attention from her mother  for which she longed forever since she was a child, was all she was thinking about . She was too happy to think about something else . [But what if there is really something fishy?]
She knocked the door befor entering into the room. Her father greeted with a not so happy smile and her mother too seemed off.

Kira's POV

"You wanted to see me appa?" I asked while taking a seat across him . " Kira .... sweetheart the thing is ...." Why was he so hesitant, I was really confused." Please make it straight honey" mom said ." Kira listen , we have fixed your marriage with the son of YJ Corporation's CEO. I know it's all of a sudden but believe me he is a very good person and he_" " what?" I was totally thunder stricken. My world has just turned upside down after listening that. Tears blurred my vision but i tried my level best to control them ." Kira" this time it was father , he took my hands in his and said " If you don't like it or have any objection then we won't force you don't worry. If you don't like him you can just say no" .
" I don't---" I wanted to say I wasn't ready for these things but before i could say anything  mom started  "Our company is facing a huge financial crisis , the only way to save it now is by taking their help and they are ready to help us.
But there will be a marriage alliance and they want you as their daughter in law.  Now it's in your hand if you want to save us or not " she said with a straight face. Guess all these sweetness was fake ." Can't you be a little modest" appa glared at mom. "I told the truth honey, their is no need to look at me like that . She is old enough to understand the things now" . I was at a loss of word . My mind was blank by now. Why is life so difficult?

" What is it that she has to understand?" We all turned to the sudden voice . " What is it tell me ?" Unni said  and looked at me with concern. She is the only one who knows my wounds the best . "We have fixed your sisters marriage."mother informed her.
"WHAT!!!" She too was shocked by the news.
"'The Yoon Enterprises' was facing a lot of financial set backs and to help the company with monetary investments one of our partners had agreed but they had this condition. We have gave it a lot of thought and it is the only way we have. Moreover their son is a nice and popular person Kira will be blessed after marrying him. She can do this for the family atleast" mom said. Her tone getting more and more mean and it broke me . My appa looked so helpless.
