After a day of skipping the wedding, Ryu and Miyuki still live in different places. Although both are legal spouses, they can not be as close as other couples there are still doubts between them.
And the night is still visible at Shimizu's residence, Miyuki seems to tidy up her clothes and enter into her suitcase because tomorrow she is with Ryu going on vacation in Okinawa.
"Hello, anu..excuse me, brother Hiroishi?" Before that, he told someone, because lately he does not work at Aizawa Hospital.
"Where have you been lately? Did they torture you again?" Of course, the voice was willing to answer a call from Miyuki.
"Much happened after Mayumi-sama left, I'm sorry, Brother Hiroishi. . ."
"I see, you must be suffering, right?"
"It seems so, but.I'm fine." Miyuki's voice tried to sound strong.
"I know your answer goes on like that, but until when do you have to hold that weight."
"I'm still fine, so there's no need to worry about me. Ooya.anu can I have another week's leave?"
"Of course, what's the vacation for in a week?"
"Uhm.I was invited to go to Okinawa."
"Once, okay. Take care of yourself, if you come back to tell me."
"good. Thank you very much senior."
The call ended, Miyuki who was still standing beside the window of her room and was beheaded by the moonlight. One of his hands clenched onto his chest in anxiety.
"Am I really free with him?" Inwardly, slowly his anxious face was fixed on the stars that were still left above him.
Then, the sound of footsteps came from behind him. Miyuki turned around and looked scared,
"Good night, my guardian. . Time for a special punishment for you." Say cold greetings from Matsumoto with a whip strap to give Miyuki a special surprise.
As a result Miyuki dared to refute her orders.
"..i'm so scared, mother."
••
At the airport, the two couples were seen sitting down waiting for the time of his departure. Ryu wonders if Miyuki looks tired and has scratches all over her arms.
"What's going on?" A question from Ryu made Miyuki tremble to answer him.
She chose to lower her face in fear that Ryu was scolding her. However, Ryu was a little annoyed at not hearing the answer from Miyuki.
He pulled the chin of the girl beside him violently before his face,
"answer my question!" Nadanya.
"Uhm..do I have to be honest?"
Ryu snorted in annoyance, "does I need to give you a calculation?" While releasing.
"I'm sorry, they're punishing me." Miyuki.
Ryu was silent for a moment and remembered the pain he had heard at Villa Mayumi, which meant that it was Miyuki.
"..but I'm used to it, so I'm fine."
"Are you okay?"
Ryu looked at Miyuki then held one of her hands.
"Even though you're used to it, isn't it painful for you? You shouldn't have to hold it."
For some reason, Ryu's speech sounded soft and that attention made Miyuki's heart flutter.
"It's so warm." This is the first time Miyuki felt the warmth from Ryu's touch.
"I'm sorry. . ." Just two words said by Miyuki still sounded trembling.
Slowly Ryu pulled Miyuki's head against his chest.
"You can't feel those emotions in other people, can you? Then you can spill that emotion on me."
She was also confused, why was she being gentle with Miyuki? He had planned to make her suffer more. But now, that feeling changed as if the hatred disappeared and love came. Didn't he want to cultivate the love of the two again?
"I don't understand, why do I care so much about him?"
Miyuki did not expect Ryu to think about the previous remark. Although it sounds cruel and cold, but he believes Ryu is a good man.
"I wish he was."
••
Flights have arrived in Okinawa, a special place to look forward to okinawa holidays, especially couples who are honeymooning in that place, it feels good, right?
During the trip, the couple rarely open the talk. It feels really awkward if the two are together, it takes 1000 seconds to correct his behavior. Unwittingly they were in front of a luxurious villa that was almost adjacent to the Okinawa beach. At least the distance between the house to the beach averages 8km.
"Welcome Ryuzaki-sama and...Miyuki-sama." Minami greeted them at the door with a warm smile.
Miyuki was a little confused to see Minami's appearance was very neat, especially the way she spoke also sounded polite.
"She's Sakurai Minami, my mother's guardian." Ryu introduces Manami to Miyuki.
"Guardians?" Miyuki muttered with a dumb-faced face hearing Manami that was also a guardian like her.
"It's nice to meet you, Minami-chan." Sweepings.
"It's nice to meet you, Miyuki-sama. Please come in." Reply Manami invited the couple in.
Minami brings the items in and lets them meet Miya and her aunt.
"You came on time." Sahut sister Miya aka Nishimura Maya as the eldest brother and former leader of Nishimura. His attitude was also almost the same as that of Miya, that smiling face was full of cunning.
"Sit down." Said Miya letting them sit on the sofa.
Minami provides tea for them.
"Yamashita Miyuki, that's your name, isn't it?" Ask Maya to Miyuki.
Miyuki. However, Maya pitches a cold protest of Why Miyuki is different from Shimizu.
Miyuki casually explains the reason why she is different from Shimizu, her mother surnamed Yamashita and her father Shimizu. So he chose his mother's clan because the Shimizu family did not allow the extramarital child to be surnamed Shimizu. Disgust!
"Hmm..I see, you don't know me yet, do you?" Maya tries to guess it, but does not hear an answer from Miyuki.
Maya expected it, though,
"It's so cruel, he didn't tell you?" Maya's tone was discouraged, her cynical gaze fixed on Ryu.
"That's better for aunt." Ryu said in a cold tone.
Maya's lips smiled cynically and looked at Miyuki still looking silently.
"You can call me Aunt Maya, former leader of Nishimura."
"he's obviously my brother." Miya spoke up as if adding a sentence to make it sound clear.
Maya protests that Miya is bothering her for wanting to surprise Miyuki.
"Just disturb!"
"Not interested." As usual Miya replied to him with her cold tone.
Miyuki also did not understand the two sisters' behavior, but it reminded her of Mayumi's behavior.
Maya gets serious after drinking her warm tea.
"Say.what is Shimizu planning?"
Miyuki clenched her hands together in hesitation to answer the question. Maya furrowed her brows seeming to think of something.
"Did you know Yamashita and Nishimura's relationship?" Maya changed the subject for a moment.
However, Miya quickly gave a short answer, "he already knows." Until Maya's grunting face restrained her anger.
He calmly protests Miya again, "what right do you have?"
"I knew about him first." Reply Miya.
Ryu is disturbed to see the cold war by the two sisters.
"Oi, do I need to break this table?" Ryu asked in a stern voice in order to stop the two.
"Aah! Don't you dare break my favorite table!" Tegur Miya is not willing to face her favorite table is broken by Ryu.
"Then, until when does your cold war end? Just disturb!" Ryu said.
"You don't have to reprove me like that!" Miya was annoyed to hear the reprimand by her own son because it was embarrassing for her.
The two women looked normal again, Miyuki calmly finally answered a question from Maya.
"I already know, but Shimizu is already my superior. I can't help but answer aunt's questions."
Maya was a little disappointed, then her eyes were fixed on seeing Miyuki's two arms looking reddish scratched.
"Although Shimizu is your superior, do they treat you well? It doesn't seem to."
Miyuki realized it was covering both of her arms with her scarf. He looked at Ryu for a moment to convince, what need to answer him? Naturally, Ryu replied to her with a thin smile reassuring Miyuki's decision.
However, Miyuki was worried that she would accept her consequences. Ryu calmly nodded his head that everything would be fine.
"Come here Miyuki." Miya asked Miyuki to stand in front of the two sisters.
Miyuki said to her, "now answer my question, what is Shimizu planning?" Maya tried asking again.
Miyuki sitting squatting in front of the two was still hesitant to answer her.
"They asked me to spy..pim..pinan Nishimura.."
"And.regute his position."
Hearing Miyuki's reply, the two sisters were discouraged. Maya gets angry by slapping Miyuki in the face, but a hand comes to stop the slap from hitting her.
"It's best if this slap is thrown away, aunt." That familiar tone.
"Ryuzaki?" Maya was stunned to see Ryu holding his hand.
Miyuki's eyes also slightly rounded shakes seeing Ryu beside her.
"Ryu, why?"
Ryu took off Maya's hand and answered a short question from his wife.
"Because you're my wife."
The answer left the four women speechless, this was the first time Ryu had defended Miyuki.
She pulled Miyuki to her seat back, though,
Minami watched him smile peacefully, relieved that one person wanted to protect Yamashita.
"Thank God." Mumbled.
Miya smiled coldly. "Bring her up just because she's your wife?"
"Geez, I almost forgot she's your wife."
"..but why are you so changeable?"
Miya became wondering seeing her son's attitude change so much.
"It's the husband's duty to his wife." Ryu answered.
"Is it the husband's job?" Maya's voice furrowed her eyebrows.
Slowly his lips smiled wily, though,
"Miya-san, this is not according to plan huh. Can you tell him?"
Ryu is a little suspicious about what Maya and Miya are really up to, as he is forced to marry just to save Yamashita from Shimizu. But, what was that thing that the two of them planned?
"You know what, the reason why I married you to her. But that's not my only excuse." Said Miya giving an answer according to Maya's orders.
"What's that?"
"Not as your wife but your guardian."
Miyuki's eyes looked stiff and trembling at Miya's answer.
"Huh, guardian?"
"Nishimura never allowed Yamashita to be part of my family but rather she was Nishimura's special doll."
"Dollies?" Those words further tarnished Miyuki.
After a long time he wanted to be free from the guardian and now his life is imprisoned again just as a "doll".
Ryu also could not respond or refute the words of his mother or aunt, currently the two sisters still have the right to order on the leadership of Nishimura.
"*I realized. .my life was only a long bridge that could be crossed by millions of people, but did not expect me to leave something that is. . ."
". .My feelings for others are especially*. . ."
Mayumi's face with a smile reflected in Ryu's mind.
". .and the cry."
As well as Miyuki's face sobbing, Ryu was upset.
"Miyuki! . ."
••
The night. . .
"Not as your wife but your guardian."
Those words were still unthinkable to Miyuki, making her unwillingly have to accept being Ryu's guardian instead of his wife.
"Excuse me, Ryu-sama." Miyuki enters and meets Ryu in the room.
Ryu is seen stretching his body over his bed. He realized Miyuki was standing at the door,
"What's wrong?"
"Time to take a shower, I've prepared the hot water for you." Putting the towel on Ryu's bed.
Ryu got up from his bed and still watched Miyuki's face look flat. He took a long breath.
"You don't have to do this job for me." Trying to reprimand Miyuki.
"No, it's your guardian's duty." Unfortunately, Miyuki refused politely.
"Hand guardianship?" Ryu seemed to think something. Secretly his lips smiled wily as if finding an idea.
"Miyuki?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Please open my shirt." Ryu's orders.
"Eh?"
Whahuh? He tried to order Miyuki to open her shirt? Really, did Miyuki doubt it? It seemed, Miyuki had already gulped hearing his orders.
"Understand." Miyuki's face seemed to be turning red, slowly drawing closer to the relaxed-faced man.
Ryu still let the girl do it. By the time Miyuki's hand starts to open one of Ryu's buttons,
"If you can't do it, you can turn it down, right?"
Miyuki's hand kept silent for a moment hearing the question,
"If I refuse it then I will accept the consequences, won't I?"
Ryu pulled the body of the girl into his embrace,
"You really are a mysterious girl huh."
Miyuki was still nervous, let alone her current position being held in Ryu's arms until the sound of her heartbeat was also heard by Miyuki.
"Fast right away.." After hearing Ryu's heartbeat so fast, he also felt the same way.
"Anu..Ryu-sama?"
"Call Ryu alone." The man further tightened his embrace with Miyuki.
"Uh..okay, anu..would you let me go?"
"No." Ryu refused.
"Huh, Ryu?" Miyuki didn't understand.
"Don't I tell you you're my wife?"
Finally Miyuki let herself fall in her husband's arms because her touch was so warm,
"It feels so calm. . ." Inner Ryu.
••
Ryu finally fell into a deep sleep after Miyuki accompanied him. She also returns to her room, Maya and Miya do not allow the couple a single room because Miyuki is only her son's guardian.
In his room, Miyuki receives a call from Matsumoto, who is,
"How's it?"
"I'm sorry, I told him."
"What?! They're threatening you, huh?"
"No, from now on you're not my boss anymore."
"What do you mean?"
"Nishimura has assured me that they will treat me well, even if it's just the doll."
Matsumoto laughed. "Try to betray me, Miyuki?"
"Not at all."
"That's so. . But what about your vows to your brother, did you do as you please after he left?"
Miyuki was speechless, "no way, that means I'm still your boss, right?"
However Miyuki refused, "i just did anything from Mayumi-sama, not you."
"*How dare I, do I have to teach you a lesson or. .kill you?"
"..I can also remove your face in front of me like you lost my husband*."
Hearing that remark, Miyuki closed her call for not wanting the remark to haunt her back.
Matsumoto is upset about throwing his phone away,
"Damn!.."
"Excuse me, Matsumoto-sama." A man in a neat shirt walked into his room.
"Did you come here to tell me about him?" Guess from Matsumoto.
"Yes, as you requested. We found Mayumi-sama working at the Chinese Hospital."
"Ooh, so. He tried to get away from me, didn't he?"
His lips smiled wickedly, "what's the need to make it back, Miyuki?"
"..I think he'll scold her, won't Ito?"
That man was Ito Yamashita Matsumoto's personal bodyguard aka Miyuki's cousin.
••
And the next night, at Villa Nishimura, everyone was asleep. However, the sound of a pile of books fell until Ryu regained consciousness first.
"It's late, it's still noisy.." Mumbled.
"Are you okay?" Ask that familiar tone in front of Ryu's room.
Ryu hears it opening its door and sees two familiar girls falling into a collision.
"What are you doing here?"
Of course the two girls were shocked to see Ryu standing next to the door.
"Rhyu?"
"Uh.anu, ma.sorry, I accidentally bumped into him because I was carrying a pile of books." Minami began to pale explaining the situation staring at Ryu's sinister gaze.
"It's okay, but are you okay your arm is hurt lo." Miyuki saw a small scratch wound on Minami's arm.
"It's just a small wound." Trying to cover up his wound.
"no matter how small the wound is, it could be that the wound is easily infected, right?."
"Anu.no, I'm fine." However, Minami still insisted on rejecting him.
"He's a nurse, so take it easy." Ryu tells her, Miyuki is a nurse.
"I won't calm down to see people like you get hurt." Miyuki said with a widening smile.
"Heh? She smiling?" This was the first time Minami had seen Miyuki smile because as she wished, Yamashita had a hard time waking up her emotions.
Ryu hears Miyuki's words reminding him of Miyuki's rescue on the bridge.
Miyuki brought Minami into her room and carried care on her arm, Ryu also accompanied the two.
"It's late, you're still working." Miyuki said while applying medicine.
"Yes, every night I tidied up the library room. Sorry, I accidentally hit you."
"Not really, I should be the one apologizing to you. I daydreamed and didn't notice you there either."
"You can daydream?"
"Sure, why?" Miyuki asked and wrapped a small bandage into Minami's arm.
"No, it's the first time I've seen her."
"Someone once taught me“stay smile whatever the circumstances because that person would be easy to be friends with you”isn't it weird to be without the slightest expression?" Miyuki.
Minami smiled it understood. "You're right, too."
"Finished, after that you should rest, Minami." Miyuki's advice.
"Yes, thank you Miyuki-sama."
Miyuki replied to him by widening her smile again.
Minami brought the books back to the library room, Miyuki was surprised to see Ryu still in her room.
"You're not coming back?"
"Try to kick me out, will you?"
"Ahh.no-no." Miyuki replied wagging her hand it was nervous to see Ryu's gaze so scary.
Ryu sees some books open on Miyuki's desk.
"You studying?"
Miyuki confirmed, "i can't sleep so I learned a little about medicine and medical care."
Ryu opens one of the books and asks why Miyuki wants to be a nurse.
"For I can treat my own wounds." Answer Miyuki.
"..not only that, there are a lot of people also need my medical care right?" Added.
"You're right, I admit you're neither my guardian nor my doll."
"..but you're my wife, Miyuki." Said Ryu sounding peaceful then made his wife amazed and moved.
"Rul.." Miyuki still had that amazed face hugged her and cried.
"Thank you, Ryu." Stubbornly
She is very happy and happy, there is one person who will accept her and admit her that is Ryuzaki, her own husband.
"When is that.I can shed that pain, right? I'm counting on you, Nishimura Ryuzaki."
"Yes.." Ryu replied tightening his embrace gently.
"From now on. .I'll turn all the pain you've felt so far into your happiness, this is the promise of Miyuki's life."
He promises that his life will change Miyuki's life to be happy with him.
Beside her room, Maya also listened to the conversation of the two. Secretly his lips smiled in relief,
"Good, but how strong the connection is in your life, Ryuzaki-san." His murmur sounded cold.
