Impossible Marriages
Early Meet

Having been awarded a full scholarship while studying in Singapore made Mia's career a bit smooth. When she first came to Japan, the 24-year-old girl knew nothing. Just following his father. Joined odd jobs at his father's big studio. Mia doesn't want to be treated special just because she's the son of a famous architect. He started small.

Mia Carera's. Since childhood he wanted to be like his father making a home. He used to think the job of an architect was just a house maker. But over time she chose to become an interior designer. The trigger was only because his grandfather's chair was broken and his father fixed it. Small things bring something big.

He lives in a city in Tokyo, Jiyugaoka. After having a studio, he rented an apartment. Want to live independently for that reason. For the first two months his father still often visited Mia's apartment, just checking what was lacking. Like food or safety. Back when Mia was a child, the man who is now 5-headed was never paying attention to his only child. They lived separately only because of work, because now lived one city then he often noticed. Like now when Mia

returning home from Okinawa, the middle-aged man immediately headed to his son's apartment. I want to hear about the holiday in Okinawa. Or exchange experiences.

"Front month MaQuin company opened a new branch. Dad's team doesn't have an interior designer. They're busy in Akita. So go in, bring your comrades, "mia's father explained while enjoying the popcorn he bought in the combini.

"really? I'll try to confirm with the others. When is the deadline?" Mia sat down next to her father. Her tiny hand also grabbed the caramel-flavored popcorn.

"Tomorrow. Hmm at lunch, I made an appointment with the MaQuin leader. I'll give you the address of the restaurant."

Mia nodded in understanding.

No more conversation sounds. Only the sound of popcorn being crushed by teeth. Since returning from Okinawa

Mia was silent. Reading a novel is not focused. Only the shadow of his friend's wedding party flashed suddenly. Mia had never thought about getting married. Although she is quite pretty famous among men but she has never done anything romantic like dating. Chelsee often said that he should be close to men. It's not her fault if she doesn't, Chelsee himself traumatized her. Every time Chelsee broke his heart, he cried all night in Mia's room. So the designer girl chose not to date so as not to trouble friends. The plain and simple mind was suitable indeed for Mia.

Daytime weather in Tokyo has reached 30 degrees. Since getting the message from her father she kept

complaining, why choose a restaurant that is quite far from the studio. This morning he was enthusiastic to immediately meet with the leader of MaQuin but because the temperature was hot and hot he even became a bully.

This is not Mia-Evan Carera's father-style restaurant. His taste and self are almost 90% the same. Mia guessed

if the MaQuin leader chooses. For 3 years living in Japan, Mia has not even visited this luxury restaurant. When he entered he was escorted by a waiter, what a luxurious service for him. From far away he could see his father's back. Smiled relieved.

"Good day, sorry I'm late" Mia said, bowing, typical of Japanese when apologizing.

"Ah no problem, sit down!" the soft heavy voice calmed Mia. He is the leader of MaQuin. Companies engaged in cosmetics. In recent years, this development has been quite significant. That's why they just set up a branch building. Evan was the architect of the branch.

While enjoying lunch they talk a little about Mia's work. Before summer, Mia

it is not designed for the homes of former politicians in the Kyoto area. Then move to a new hotel in the same city. Hearing that all Hiroki Hasegawa as the leader believes that the new building MaQuin will be transformed into a slick.

"Can you start as soon as possible?"

"Well," Mia replied without being firm

Actually he was hesitant because Mia's team was enjoying the summer break. If he sends a message

for the meeting, he had no idea how his comrades would react. Maybe he'll get scolded.

After lunch they parted at the door of the restaurant. Mia's going back to the studio collecting

his colleagues. Evan and Hiroki will also return to work. In the car Mia kept staring at the phone screen that showed a group chat room. His brain turned to think of a fitting sentence to contact his co-worker.

"Are you guys busy?" as soon as the opening sentence of Mia. 5 seconds later there was a reply from Kei.

"I'm lazy and bored."

Seeing the reply Mia heaved a sigh of relief. If the others refuse, he may work

with Kei. His fingers began to boldly type out a call to gather in the studio. After that, he went at an average speed. As soon as he immediately parked his car next to the studio. Mia's studio building is not too big considering that only 6 people work at the place. But it has a second floor as a room, just in case there is overtime. From the outside the building looks like a 2-story house and is quite narrow. But because of the right arrangement the place feels loose.

"Eh?" Mia stopped at the doorway. Not expecting if his partner was complete, even they prepared some snacks.

"Kaichou*, how was your vacation in Okinawa?" Kouga, he's the oldest just a year apart from Mia. He is a man who likes to be outspoken. In return Mia gave a big smile as she approached them.

"Sorry, it should still be your vacation. But suddenly I even want to hold a meeting," said Mia while bowing her body. He felt guilty because as chairman even incompetent.

"No problem. We have no other activities. At home I'm just sitting alone." The reasons of Kei are all approved.

Not willing to waste time Mia starts discussing plans to conjure up the MaQuin branch building which will be completed in a week. That means starting next week they should be already working. Just using a digital design from Evan is not enough. Tomorrow they will be on their way to the location. Not until 1 hour they met, after which they decided to go for a walk while spending time. It'll be right at their dinner

Chelsee's cafe is pretty big. Cafes name Chelsee Kitchen. Has 2 floors. The upper floor is used as a drawing studio. In addition to being the owner of the cafe, he is also a comic. That's why he's still a faculty member with Mia. Only different prodi, Mia took up interior design, Chelsee took visual communication design.

At dinnertime cafe Chelsee quite crowded, if you want to get a place then you have to make a reservation. Except for Mia and her coworkers. They can eat on the 2nd floor. The food sold is more inclined to Indonesian cuisine that fits the Japanese tongue. Enjoying a relaxing evening, they talk about tomorrow's plans. It starts where and ends where. Mia is very proud of her colleagues, they are compact and reliable with each other.

Seeing them joking on the sidelines of a small meeting, Mia recalled how they were discovered. 3 years ago

then. The first members are Kei and Kouga. They meet in early summer on Mount Takao. Then 3 days after Mia accidentally passed through the park, she saw Yoichi drawing. Slowly approached and they told a lot about the design. A week later Mia takes Kei, Kouga, and Yoichi up Mount Takao. On this mountain again they meet Naoko who is a student of Mia's personal doctor. And lastly Mia met Ryouta while practicing karate near the studio. A unique and impressive destiny for Mia.

They were all natives only Mia who was a stranger. They don't bother about that.

As scheduled, they are now in front of MaQuin's new building. The percentage that will be 95%, Mia began to invite her team members in. See, measure, and imagine what design fits. It took me a long time to walk through this 15-story building. Sometimes pessimistic thoughts arise if 2 months of targeted time will not be enough. The team leader let out a heavy sigh, standing in the corner of the room while thinking of a fitting way to shorten the time.

"I think 2 months is the right time." Kouga knows that now Mia is being overwhelmed by anxiety.

"We're going to romusha."

"You want revenge?" kouga shouted while following Mia who walked first. Mia just laughed a little.

All done, it took almost 3 hours. Next week they have to start. After this they

I'm going back to the studio to create a layout. Dividing tasks ranging from making designs to the section contacting furniture sellers.

From here, Mia will create a design assisted by Kouga and Naoko. Naoko is a graduate of psychology. He thinks that the design of the room can affect human psychology, so he is very grateful to Mia for allowing to join. Of course to Doctor Matsumoto too, as his teacher. Kouga himself graduated from the same faculty as Mia. What about Kei,

Ryota, and Yoichi? Kei and Yoichi prefer to interact with people and finances. For this reason, Mia handed shopping duties to both people. If Ryouta, there is no doubt. For Mia he is a genius, can do anything but interaction, he is a quiet man. Hugely.

Five days passed. Mia's studio had the smell of lavender but now half mixed with it

koyo. Five days later, they stayed in the studio and had a lot to do. Design layout is already

almostdone. On target they can immediately work on the field, the day after tomorrow. Sometimes Mia's heart beats proudly because she can work with one of the famous cosmetic companies. It's all thanks to his father. After all, he promised to take his father to eat at a restaurant in Tokyo Sky Tree.

Mia is a very thorough person. The smallest thing will not be missed if it is about the design. So detailed. His hands were also skilled with carpentry tools. After a month, his appearance was ruined. Although his hair was tied but still a little random. His father who visited him several times just smiled. As if looking at himself.

Today is the inauguration of MaQuin's new building. It was a big upset the day before. The chief - Mia suddenly fainted from lack of blood - anemia. Everyone in the building panicked. But all has passed, now his face looks fresh. Some of his colleagues were mocked if the vampire had already gotten his blood ration. Of course Mia just pouted to hear the teasing, would avoid it could not. The other listeners laughed while being ridiculed. Not even his father left.

Hiroki Hasegawa approaches Evan who is joking with his colleagues plus Mia. All bowed respectfully. Hiroki replied with a friendly smile that he had.

"After this event, can you take your time and your daughter's?" whispered. Evan thought a little, maybe the promise of dinner together with his son should be postponed. Then, he agreed to Hiroki's invitation.

The inauguration started smoothly. Many journalists covered the opening of the MaQuin branch.

It may take 5 hours to be in the crowd after Mia can breathe again. After the show he immediately returned to the apartment - rest. At exactly 7 o'clock there is a dinner with the owner of MaQuin. Initially disappointed because the date with his father was delayed but want how else.

With a maroon dress Midi dress Mia looks elegant even though the dress is simple. Plus black color clucth with a famous brand. The atmosphere of the restaurant Hiroki ordered was so luxurious according to Mia's expectations, profit

he was wearing his best clothes.

"Please sit down, I've also just arrived" Hiroki said as he moved from his seat. Then shook Evan's and Mia's hands in turn.

They talked lightly while waiting for the opening menu to be served. Then...

"I'm sorry I'm late."

That sound.
