I had worn the new Yukata Arashi had bought for me from the market when I was sick. It was light purple with various flowers adorned it. The fine cloth was soothing against my skin as I put the hair ornament he had given me the first day.
It was dawn when we left for Kosaki. The Hiro family came to our house to pay a visit as Arashi gave them the keys to look after the house and the crops.
Mrs Hiro dragged me to a corner excusing the men and asked, "Have you done it?" Her voice sounded excited and her eyes glinted devilishly as my cheeks shifted in color.
"No." I shook my head and looked away as I felt her sharp glares on me. I gulped.
"What!" She shouted as it caught the men's attention. Feeling she had raised her voice a bit louder she looked at them and smiled nervously saying, "I apologize."
