Impossible Marriages
Second Time
The man's voice sounded smooth in Mia's ears. Unaware that his pair of black eyeballs were looking at the man who had just arrived. Her clothes are so neat and fashionable. Although the suit is official but there is a casual impression. It's like the furniture design he's been working on lately.
"Sit down! He's the one you told me about yesterday." If Hiroki does not make a sound then Mia will continue to be engrossed in looking at the clothes of the MaQuin owner's children.
"He is my son. The only thing" Hiroki said was introducing his son to Evan and Mia.
The man who was the same age as Mia was starting to introduce himself briefly. His name is Yusuke Hasegawa. One of MaQuin's future successors. Then he sat back down. Come in for a light conversation. Sometimes Mia steals a look at Yusuke. In recalling the face of the Mia people was a little weak. While listening to the conversation he remembered where he had met Yusuke. His face looked familiar. It's only right if this is dejavu.
The opening menu has been served - with Yusuke coming. Now replace the main menu that decorates the table. Although everything feels good and tempting but, Mia is no longer able to eat. He imagined his filling stomach and no leftovers for dessert. Mia was just batting, unable to eat anymore. Servings
the meal was a little, he was not familiar with the banquet, the opening menu, the main menu and the closing menu. A pair of Yusuke's brown eyes caught Mia's movements. That strange girl was what he thought.
After enjoying a 5-star restaurant banquet, they parted ways in front of the restaurant entrance. When it was felt that she was far from the Hasegawa family, Mia held her father's arm. Complaining if his stomach is tight. His father just smiled and said that he should get used to such banquets. According to Evan, his daughter is still relatively thin. Different from Mia's own opinion. He knows what the ideal weight is for himself.
In the car, Yusuke and his father were silent. No one wants to start a conversation. Since Yusuke went on to study abroad precisely in America, they rarely communicate. Moreover, now her son began to be busy being a model ambassador of fashion brand owned by her aunt from the mother's side. Lately many fashion magazines that show the handsome face of Yusuke as a cover. His popularity soared when he appeared on the big screen. Yusuke himself was confused when he was just a figure but his fame almost matched the main artist. Her father's difficulty to meet is getting double.
"Have you met your grandfather?" Hiroki finally spoke.
"Yet. I heard that grandfather is still busy in Hokkaido" Yusuke replied without seeing his father.
"Now you go home first."
Since there was no answer, Hiroki concluded that Yusuke obeyed his orders. The car speed accelerated a little. Before Hiroki came to the dinner, his father told him to 'drag' Yusuke to come home to see him.
Yusuke hasn't visited the mother's residence in a long time. There are many memories of his childhood. Bittersweet and sweet. When he started living in America he rarely came home. More precisely he had a luxurious apartment in the center of the city that he bought secretly. If he wants to meet his grandfather or father, he will choose a hotel or office. The name of the master residence must be large. It could be said that there was a house inside the house. The Hasegawa family used to live here now only Yusuke's father and grandfather. He has an uncle - brother of the father but 2 years after marriage decided to live separately.
"Young master, your grandfather is already waiting in the study," said the butler.
A little lazy to walk towards his grandfather's study. The feeling is bad about tonight's conversation.
"Grandfather, good night. Is grandpa healthy?"
"As you can see. Sit down!"
Not waiting for long, Yusuke sat on the soft sofa on the left side of his grandfather. A few seconds later Hiroki appeared. The worse Yusuke's premonition. Many questions popped into his head. He had never been in a situation like this.
"Just go straight to the point. I just want you to be the next MaQuin holder. Don't let MaQuin fall into the hands of your two cousins. For that, get married."
"Grandfather.." whined Yusuke like a child who asked permission to stay at a friend's house.
"You're 27 years old. Enough for a family. And I'm old, don't want to hear negative whispers about my granddaughter."
"Suppose it's just the wind then. I know what I have to do. Please grandpa believe!"
That consecutive sentence, made the grandfather silent for quite a long time. Yusuke did not understand the situation within the company. Almost every day the slanted news struck the ears of his grandfather and father. In order to quell the protests of the shareholders, Yusuke's grandfather decided that the granddaughter who was predicted would be Hiroki's successor soon
married. That's the only way. The young man thought this was not the time for him to get married. There's more important than that. That's why he came home from America.
But at the moment he can't go against his grandfather's words. Only a brief answer sign agreed with all his grandfather's proposals. Almost an hour of Yusuke's ear heating up now he's allowed out. It doesn't feel like it's almost midnight. Maybe this time he'll sleep in his old bed. He was driving a car to his apartment. After all his grandfather also told him to sleep here. Not at a hotel or a friend's house.
A very large room for a bedroom. It still feels the same even though some furniture is replaced. For example, a sleeping bed. Yusuke still remembers his bed was small not as big as it is now. While the other furniture is still intact and seems every day this room is always cleaned even though there are no residents. He will thank the floater who cleaned his room often tomorrow morning. After changing her clothes in pajamas, Yusuke wanted to go to bed quickly. Tomorrow there's something to do. A compulsion from his grandfather.

This morning became Yusuke's first breakfast with his family after a long stay in America. The taste of the cuisine in this house is still the same, or maybe a little different. There was her mother's intervention. Remembering the figure of his mother made the young man slightly lose his appetite. He massaged his temples slowly while holding back the overflow of his emotions. When it comes to her mother's problems, sometimes Yusuke can't control his emotions. It almost feels crazy.
"You didn't forget today's show, did you?" No one has dared to speak out since. Yusuke's grandfather did it.
"Eh."
"Pak Hideki will arrange all your schedules from now on."
"Eh."
After finishing breakfast, Yusuke headed to his room. There's a 4-year-old head man, Hideki Yoshinao. He will serve Yusuke according to what his grandfather said earlier. Hideki is no stranger to Yusuke. At the age of 6, he knew her. And several times this man also came to America to
"I haven't seen you in a long time. Are you okay?"
"Uncle is not too formal. Just ordinary. And. My news is a little bad today."
Hideki smiled gently. Since he had known Yusuke a long time ago, he was not too awkward.
"Today I have to date anywhere?"
"First you should meet the daughter of the owner of one of the famous boutiques in Tokyo. His father is the 5th largest shareholder in MaQuin. Then the second one was the son of a famous architect."
"Hah~ is grandfather's choice?"
"really. With the daughter of the boutique owner, you are scheduled to meet at lunch. At a restaurant near the boutique he runs. The next one met at dinner. It just so happens that your father determined the place. I'll send you the address later."
Hideki ends his explanation. Actually Yusuke did not listen fully, he just played with his smart phone. It's a stupid thing to go on a blind date in this day and age. The environment in a free America makes it difficult for him to return to his once manageable nature. He wanted to escape but could not. Last night he had agreed to a big deal with his grandfather. Slowly she can reach her goal that is why her body must be forced to follow a dating schedule.
The scorching summer sun is suitable for blackening the skin on the beach. Seeing a woman showing off her curves decorated with a bikini. Usually Yusuke does that but not today. He was trapped in a modern-style restaurant with a girl he knew his name five minutes ago. Enjoy
yusuke's orange juice stole a look outside the restaurant. He had no interest in listening to the story of the girl in front of him. Bored. Really bored.
The girl was unaware that Yusuke was indifferent to her. His red lips continued to talk at length about a glamorous life that was not much different from Yusuke. It was possible that Yusuke could be interested in her. Yes, the girl captivated Yusuke at first sight. While telling the story he holds hope that the relationship will work. Who wouldn't be captivated by a handsome, established man?
"Lunch time is over. Today's date is also over, there's no second time. Sorry," Yusuke said as he lowered his head slightly. Then left the girl who still could not digest the words of the man she liked. Love ran aground.
After this Yusuke decides to return to his apartment. He had already told his grandfather, father, and Hideki. Today's date is a success but there is no desire to continue. Hearing the news, his father hurriedly told his secretary to find a new candidate.

Mia smiled looking at the writing on her smart phone. Since 10 minutes ago he put his job aside, more interested in sending a short message to his father. Today he plans to have dinner together with his father because he was delayed. His black eyes switched for a moment, changing to staring at the computer screen. Read recommended restaurants around Tokyo.
The sky restaurant 634. The restaurant is located at an altitude of 345 meters. It's inside the Sky Tree building, on the 4th floor. Mia had never eaten at that restaurant. Because it coincides with a special moment he will have a little fun at the French-style restaurant. Just imagining eating while enjoying the sunset has made his smile grow. I can't wait to feel.
After work Mia chooses the clothes she will wear for later. Usually she doesn't care a little about dressing up but since it's a special day with her dad eating she changes her habits a little. Summer is coming to an end in a week, the weather is not supportive to wear his favorite chocolate one piece. The fabric is slightly thick, it may be suitable for use in spring. Finally Mia wears jeans with a checkered shirt top. Her brown ombre hair she stalls. Her face was slightly polished with natural makeup. Beautiful according.
It is too late to drive to the restaurant. The 27-year-old chose to take the train. Anyway, it won't take much time. He could ask his father to come home. When he arrived at Mia's restaurant a little agitated, his father was not the type of person who was easily late. If it's too late, there's something urgent. He called his father 4 times but there was no answer. He gets more agitated when a young man approaches his desk. Pull the chair across from Mia.
"I'm sorry, you or me are misplaced?" ask Mia as you can.
The young man released his black sunglasses. Instantly Mia turned her back. Her. That young man. Yusuke Hasegawa's.
"The one who was wrong was our parents" Yusuke said as he sat down. The handsome and flat face was observing the mimic of Mia's face. Silly assholes.
Mia blinked a few times. Trying to digest Yusuke's words. The Japanese that the man spoke was quite simple and Mia could understand the meaning but did not understand the meaning.
"You're good at picking places. I have never eaten here either. It's gonna be a great date, isn't it?"
"Huh?"
"Why?"
"I'm sorry what does that mean? A date? You're not the wrong person, are you?" Mia looked around. Who knows if he's in the wrong place, and maybe his dad's in the other seat. There aren't. Today the restaurant is quite quiet as usual. He could see the visitors in this room.
"You don't know?" Yusuke chuckles. "As per the wishes of our parents, today we have to date. Blind dating. You and me!" yusuke said with great pressure at the end of his sentence.
Srak!
Reflek Mia stood up to the point that her chair was pushed back. This is outside his plan. After all, his father never said he was going on a date with the man or son of the MaQuin owner.
A lie! Who said I wanted to date this guy? I don't want to date her.
See you next time
