LOVE OR DEAD
CHAPTER 52: THE HOUSE THAT BURNED DOWN

After returning from a meeting with the former elders of the Aihara clan, Kawaki greeted me to the room.

“BRUUKKKK!” he slid his body into the bed right next to me lying down.

With a swift hand hugging my waist, his left foot pressed down on my leg. His snorting breath sounded in my ears, the dense aroma of cigarettes filling his body.

I just fell silent to get the treatment he was used to doing, although I was very uncomfortable in touch with him but no way to release myself.

Long – long he brought his head closer to the back of my head, tightened his embrace so that there was no distance between us. The nauseating smell of cigarettes seemed to stick to my entire body.

“Your back is too thin, like hugging the bones”.

“Then let go of me” I say I received the sign.

“Your waist is very small” he said as he revealed the t-shirt I was wearing and gently touched my waist skin.

I could only watch her find herself starting to act.

“Lantas why do you keep doing such disgusting things by touching my body”.

“Just forget” I made me even more upset over the action as – asked.

He began to uncover my hair and kiss my ears and neck, slowly his fingers pointing towards my chest and squeezing the two in turns. I tried to hold her fingers to pull her off my chest, but the brakes got louder.

“AAARRRGGGHH” is my groan that feels pain for what he did.

Arrived – arrived his phone vibrated in the pocket of the leather jacket he wore, and I was saved by it.

Kawaki finished his actions then got up and picked up the phone.

“Hallo... What's up Jiro?” ask Kawaki.

“Home burned” said Jiro.

“Whose house do you mean?” kawaki asked with a frown.

“The girl's house, Chiyo” she replied.

“What! Is this the Aihara clan?” ask Kawaki with a surprised face.

“I don't know for sure, I tried to check the area here and found the fire department was on standby to stop the blaze that scorched almost the entire building” said Jiro who was at the scene.

“I'll be there soon” Kawaki said then hung up.

I swiftly stopped Kawaki's steps moving out of the room.

“Whose house is burning?” ask me with eyes full of suspicion.

“Homemu” said quiet.

“What!” I was hysterical to hear it.

I tried to hold it in and said “Let me go with you, I need to see for myself”.

Kawaki just mute, we went by heading to my house that was burning.

Seen from far away the flames that left a towering puff of smoke. The firefighters swiftly coordinated the blackout. I who saw it from deep in the car started to look – glass. I removed my seatbelt and opened the car door and ran towards my burning house.

“No... no... “ my mummy with glazed eyes – glass.

Kawaki caught up with me and held back my body trying to get close.

“Despite me, no... untie me....!” I shouted in the crowd who saw the fire.

Kawaki then forcefully carried me while saying “Tenamlah”.

I couldn't hold back my tears, the house I've lived in since childhood. Many happy memories there with my parents are now burned.

“My house...my house...” I said softly which was forcefully put in the car by Kawaki.

In the car Kawaki put on his seat belt and rushed to leave the location. I kept crying looking ahead, Kawaki who saw me just mute without saying anything. She dragged me back to the room, I curled up in bed and kept crying.

With her hands on her waist and walking – wiri before me, she started talking up.

“Be quiet there's nothing to cry about, your parents have been evacuated. Your entire family is safe, while the house can still buy again or rebuild it. No need for you to cry like a queen drama like that” scolded her who was annoyed to see me cry.

“There are many wonderful memories with my family, from the baby until now the house is a witness to my survival” said I who was still curled up in bed.

“You should feel lucky your family is alive and only your house is forfeited. Those bastards from the rest of the Aihara clan didn't kill your parents. This is a war drum aimed at the Endo” clan Kawaki said firmly.

“This is all because of you, dragging me into all endless infighting. Even my father and mother had to live displaced and could not enjoy the peace” said me while sitting and staring at him with annoyance.

Kawaki then gripped my jaw with a sharp look.

“How dare you blame me, I've tried to help you. Were it not for your father being one of the alumni of the Aihara clan members, they would not have been ignited so far. Just with her daughter with me, it was a betrayal for them” she explained making my eyes wide in disbelief to hear it.

Then he let go of his grip and took a cigarette in his jacket pocket, sat down and started smoking.

“What do you mean if my father is a former member of the Aihara clan, my father never said anything about it” I began to search for the truth of his words.

“It's very sad you have to hear this from someone else, maybe your father's image is as good as it is in your eyes. In his youth with Fukoda, they entered the Aihara clan. Fukoda decided to quit after the scandal he did and he started his business and collaborated with the Endo clan. After that, your father retired and decided to live as an ordinary citizen. Fukoda tried to help your father in business and succeeded to date” explained Kawaki.

“As far as they were Junior High friends, they never talked about the Aihara” clan tepisku could not accept Kawaki's story.

“They are friends of Junior High School, where Fukodalah invited your father to join the Yakuza world and enter the Aihara clan. Why do you think the Endo clan wants to work with Fukoda, it's because he knows the ins and outs of the Yakuza world especially the Aihara” clan Kawaki added.

As I began to rethink what Kawaki was talking about, it became clear that Uncle Fukoda's giant business was being helped by the Endo clan. Even he did not reject the attitude of – mena from Kawaki. There must be a lot of secrets between Uncle Fukoda and the Endo clan.

So my burning house is a testament to the sanctions that the Aihara clan gave to my father, a former member of the clan, who was considered a traitor. This is not an easy problem for us to face together.
