FROM AN YAKUZA FAMILY

All my rumination about Saori - san come to an end when Seiko - san was about to stance for leaving. I stand and present him a polite farewell then he left my place with those work of mine. As watching the distance between us grow everytime he take a step, for some moment I was in daze. After awhile, I turn on my heels and head for drawing room.

Clearing up those mugs, I went for my bedroom, "There are nothing I have to do for now so I just think about my next chapter. Oh, what should I cook for lunch or should I order something. Anyway, let's see when it comes... "

As talking to myself, I slid the bedroom door open. When an unknown figure appear on my sight, my shoulder jolt with fear. After a distinct glimpse thus when I recognize it is Saori - san who set on the balcony outside of my room, facing the garden. I guess he lost in it's artistry as he doesn't notice my presence. I step closer to him and took seat beside him. His eyes are still on faraway.

" Which flower do you like? "

His reaction is telling me that he might be agitate from my abrupt voice. Though his alarm body got a hold my presence.

Later, he courteous attitude trail up, " Everything is so beautiful, it hard to choose. "

I fix my gaze at the same direction of his. Under the sunny weather, all of them looking so enviously exquisite. As if, many different shades of hue mixed together in such small space. Infact, it is not only an artistry to the eye but also has a mind blowing aroma. This fragrance surrounding us is capable enough to put anyone at ease.

I inhale a mouthful of scent of it and quote in low pitch tone, " Kajumi - chan used to take care of them every single day. She treated this tiny flowers like her child. I often asked her, what so good about it? it just time killing.. "

Before I could come into any conclusion, he retard, " How much the day curse me; but they bloom only to cheer me up."

I am bit of a surprise and bit of a blithe that Soari - san emits the same impression like his mother, " You know; you are just like your mother. "

I assume he was kind of happy hearing it, " Really? "

" Yeah, you also have that sparkling eyes like her. "

He thank me graciously then turn to a different subject, " Are you related? "

I sigh, actually I hate to talk about my past.Because it never bring back any gleeful memories, all it has; is awful pain, " Um, no. When I was...seventeen she... took me in. "

" So,.. do you live alone here, now? And mind if I ask about your parents? " eventually he got curious to know more. Though I don't like all those questions coming out his mouth but yet his inquisitive expression had encouraged me. Probably, I should open up a little, " My mother died & father abandoned me. I don't have any relative close by. There actually... nothing interesting... about my story. So... Why don't you tell me about you? "

That inquisitive face from just a minute ago suddenly fade away, producing a agony guise, " My life is kind of same as you... upsetting. But unlike you, I have a loving twin brother. He is the only one in the world who loves me without no self-interest. We grow up by our father. Though for our father business and reputation is all that precious. "

Once again I barge in. Ah~ it become a fetish now, " What the ' business ' of your father? "

It took him a long pause to respond further. l don't think I ask about one of his dark secret. I mean isn't it common asking about one's father profession or is his father some type of ' shady, hideous ' man that he ashamed of introducing. Meanwhile, his trim hand grip the upper black jacket just like a teenage girl who is pretty much nervous to blurt out about her first love, " Um.. his the leader...of ' Hanamizuki ' clan."

My, my, just as I guess, " So.. you're from... yakuza family. it's.... "

" Scary, huh? " He cackle in a cynical way.

At first aspect, ' scary ' can come anybody's head. Furthermore, a person like me who had many acquaintance with them quite a decade ago, know this fact that at times they can be vicious devils. They are capable of digging up any bonk hole only for self-indulgence. To put in a nutshell, you can predict; it was not so much of a pleasant experience. Yet, that not what hit my head as I averse, " No not at all. I'm surprised. I mean...it's look like your personality doesn't exactly match with them. Then.. are you local? "

Gradually, his tight grip loosen it's strength. By right hand, he push back some hair behind ear that falling over on his eyes. Now I can see how appealing his face is! Also there is four or five pierces on his ear which makes him ever more sexy to have a bite. Nevertheless, those teeny tiny lashes whenever he blink, it looks astonishingly luminous. He is truly a sight for the sore eyes.

His thin lips were moving though I am so distract that his words were scarcely reached my head, ".... We live in Kyoto.. Ah.. Meji - san .... I have to go now... Are you listening.... Meji - san? "

Later on when a hand waved right over my face, I realized that I got charmed by this man, " Oh; so sorry. What you were saying? "

Putting the phone out of his pocket, he stand and so am l. Within amenability, he asked, " Meji - san, I have a work to do. If you don't mind I will take my leave. "

And for that creepy excuse, my lewd sense doesn't want to leave him yet. But what can I do? Obviously, it must be lame if I cry out on the way of his leaving while saying, don't leave me like this, ' SLINKY BLACK SWAN '.
