Decision at X'Mas
Chapter I: The shocking news
"Ken! It's twelve o'clock already! Get your lazy ass off your bed!" a woman voice rang out from the door which was open. Ken sighed to himself. He hated morning. He always did. "Oh, c'mon, Ken! I don't want to remember that this super-lazy boy is my son!" that voice yelled again. Ken had no choice. He dragged his feet from his lovely-bed with hesitation. He heard his mother sighed and muttered something like 'What a boy.'
He blinked his eyes several times. He looked at the clock that hung on the wall lazily and quickly annoyed. It was just nine o'clock! How could his mother lie to him? But now he woke up. He couldn't get to sleep anymore after he woke. He walked to the bathroom. After took a bath, he stepped down the stairs and walked the super long corridor which leaded him to the breakfast room. He founded his mother stood sat on the end of the table while his father sat on the other one held some newspapers. It seemed that his father realized his only son was there, so he greeted him with a wide smile.
"Good morning sonny! Take a seat!" said his father cheerfully. Ken was too sleepy to answer it so he just nodded and took a seat besides his father. His mother looked and smirked to him. "So…my lazy son has finally awaked."
"Of course I'm awake if someone kept yelling at me and said something like 'It's twelve o'clock already!' Oh mother…how could you lie to me? Can't you read the clock perfectly? It was just nine o'clock," said Ken with a quiet annoyed voice.
"Well…there are no rules that said 'a mother is not allowed to lie to her son'. Besides, it wasn't 'just nine o'clock'. It was 'already nine o'clock'. And for your information, Shin have tried to woke you but he failed,' answered Mrs. Hidaka to defend herself. Shin was their butler. Ken sighed to himself once again and quickly grabbed one of the toasts near him. His mother quickly yelled again. "Ken! Can you at least eat like a person? Use the plate, knife and fork!"
"Mother…normal people don't use knife and fork to eat a toast! The rich and honored people do."
"But they use the plate at least! So you think we are not rich and honored enough to use knife and fork every time we eat something?" asked his mother again. Ken preferred to remain silent. People knew how rich the Hidaka was. They had a very huge house and a garden with double size of the house. They had a great company which spread overseas and they were one of the five richest families in the world. Their house was guarded by more than 30 Dobermans and a hundred bodyguards. The Hidaka's resident had more than a 50 rooms and none of them was smaller than the biggest in normal apartment. The huge resident even had three different rooms for eat: breakfast, lunch and dining room. The Hidaka were gathered in the breakfast room at the moment. They had countless maids also. Of course they were rich and honored enough to eat politely –but that clumsy Ken didn't want to admit it.
"Sonny, you have to listen to what your mother has said. *Sighed* Well, I think you better learn how to act politely since I want to give you a special mission," said Mr. Hidaka join the conversation. He spun his head to face one of his maids. "Hey John, could you tell Shin to be right here?" The maid nodded and answered, "Of course Master."
"So…what is the mission? Why I need to learn how to act politely to do it?" asked Ken. His parents looked each other. "You'll know boy," was the only respond he got from his father. But Ken kept looked at him. "C'mon, tell me Dad!" said the boy, demanding a better respond. His parents looked each other again before his mother nodded.
"Hmm…Ken, before I answered yours, may I asked you some question first?" Mr. Hidaka raised an eyebrow to his son. Ken nodded with hesitation.
"First, how many foods do you can cook by yourself?"
"What? Why did you ask me such a question?"
"Just answer it, boy!" demanded the head family.
"Let's see…umm…pasta, hamburger, steak, salad, sandwich, sushi, tempura, and many more," counted Ken with his fingers.
"Good! That'll be enough! And now…do you ever know why I never let you to have some girlfriends?" asked Mrs. Hidaka cheerfully.
"Don't know. Guess because the different of classes?" Ken tried to guess. His father eyes narrowed slightly. "How could you say something like that? Of course not! I'm not that kind of person, sonny," answered his father with an irritated voice.
"Sorry. So why is that?" He saw his father smirked as he answered, "Because I have someone for your fiancé already."
The room remained silent within a few seconds. Then, Ken's voice broke the silent. "Excuse me…but I think I've heard it wrong. Could you say it once again? Perhaps it will help me to know that this isn't a dream."
"You have someone for your fiancé," his father answered without any hesitation. Ken blinked rapidly few times. Because his son made no answer, Mr. Hidaka chose to continue.
"Well, do you know-or do you ever heard- the name of Fujimiya?" Ken nodded as the answer and said, "The Fujimiya is the one and only your rival in business. They always interrupt ours. Am I right?"
"Yes. So my son finally attracted with his father's business? I'm so happy…"Mr. Hidaka's eyes started to full with happy tears. "Don't joke! No time for kidding! Now…would you tell me what's wrong with them? I don't see any connections between them and my fiancé. Hey…wait…you don't plan me to…" Ken didn't want to continue his own sentence.
"Oooh…you're so clever my son! You're absolutely right! You know…me and Makoto Fujimiya- their head family- are getting tired from all of this shit rivaling. So fortunately, we got this idea in the same time. When we talked about this, we agreed to make our family become one. Which means, you will be marrying his son, Ran" the head family exclaimed cheerfully. Ken's eyes widened in shock before he could response,
"What?! His son?!! Dad, I think you really need to see a doctor. Perhaps you have some fever or so. But before you go, I want make sure that you know perfectly well that you have a son, not a daughter." His father nodded, "Yes boy, I know you're my the one and only son. I'm not that old enough to not realizing it."
"So why do you have any crazy idea to marry off me and him? I know they have a daughter, right?" asked Ken carefully. "Yes, they have one. Her name is Aya Fujimiya. But you have to know that the one who will continue leading their company is their son, not their daughter. I think it will be useless if you can't marry the son. You will just accept a little of their family legacy if you marry the daughter. Besides, Makoto have agreed with this. I believe he will talk to his son about this sooner or latter. Don't worry sonny, I heard this Ran guy is very beautiful," explained the head family specifically.
"It's not the matter! God! I can't believe I have a nuts father! Dad, I am straight!! I'm not and wouldn't be gay!!" said Ken trying to defend himself. His mother joined the conversation at once. "Ken! You have to do just like your father said! It was his decision and you will accept and do it well!"
"Okay…I think this is a nightmare and I will go to sleep now. If I wake up, there is no such a thing like this," Ken stood from his seat and make a start to leave the breakfast room. But his mother stopped him at once by saying, "It's up to you Ken. If you go to sleep now, I will make sure that you will not wake up in your beloved bedroom or anywhere else in this house. And you can say goodbye to all soccer things in your room because you will never see them anymore."
Ken turned his back and widened his eyes when he saw his parents were smirking to him. He left the breakfast room to get clear his mind somewhere. His father reminded him about another one of his nightmare, "Ken, don't forget you will learn how to act politely!"
"Damn!" Ken muttered slowly to himself when he left his parents.
*****
In the Fujimiya's residence
Ran Fujimiya walked slowly from his neatly-made bedroom and made his own way to his greenhouse in the corner of their huge garden. The sun just had shone about an hour or so, but this young master woke up already. He met dozens of maids on his way. All of them were greeting him with good morning politely. He was sure enough that none of their maids- which all of them were females- were not drooling by seeing his charms. They were looking at him with an admiring gaze and whispered slowly, "Oh, you're so gorgeous, Young Master."
He chose to ignore them and moved away. Outside the house, there were countless bodyguards walked around his residence, make sure that there were no such a stranger or something. Each of them was bringing Dobermans. They greeted the red head boy politely and bowed deeply. He just nodded and ignored them away. When he reached his greenhouse, he opened the door and looked around carefully. His gaze stopped at a bunch of roses that he toke cared by himself. He saw his roses were blooming. He approached them and lowered himself to study the roses better. They were so…beautiful and grace. Next to the roses, there were a few of gentians and they were blooming also. He reached one of them and slowly said, "You two are blooming at the same time. Means something good will happens to me."
"It will Ran," suddenly, a soft woman voice shocked the red head. He turned and saw his mother was smiling to him. He smiled back and looked again to the flowers in front of him. The woman leaned forward. She studied her son's face carefully and followed his gaze. "Roses and gentians, today?" asked Mrs. Fujimiya to her son. He nodded as the answer and slowly said, "Isn't that strange? I mean…it's very rare to see them blooming at the same time."
"Maybe it signs something, just like what you've said earlier, my son." Her son gave her do-you-know-something-which-I-don't-gaze. She just smiled softly and answered, "You'll know Ran."
"When?"
"Soon, as you're ready for breakfast." Mrs. Fujimiya decided to leave her son. Ran nodded and sighed while he stood up. He turned back and saw his mother's back walked away from him. Before he went chasing her, he saw the roses and gentians once again. He realized how they were so perfect to be together. He smiled again and ran towards his mother.
It needed about thirty minutes or so to reach the breakfast room in Fujimiya's residence from Ran's greenhouse. When Ran and his mother arrived, they saw their head family and Aya were sitting in the huge table. She was reading a thick book while Ran took a seat besides his sister and said his good morning slowly. His sister lifted her head, smiled widely and greeted him cheerfully. Mr. Fujimiya was reading a newspaper and looked to his wife who sat next to him. They were discussing something seriously while the children preferred to talk to themselves.
After all of the family gathered, the butler, Viktor started to serve the soup. Ran and his sister were talking about the thick book Aya just have read. It was one of her school book and she had a problem to understand the materials her teacher gave her. She asked her brother and he answered immediately and perfectly right. This Ran guy was the genius boy in his college. He won scholarship although his parents obviously had no difficulty to finance him by themselves. He was handsome, slim, rich, smart, and he can do any sports. He had a 'mysterious' attitude- that was what his fan girls called- also which drove all of girls in his college crazy. The one who can make him smile was only his family.
The adults seemed to be finished to talk and started to begin the conversation with their children by the coughing from the head family. "Ran, your mother said that the roses and gentians are the one which blooming today. And you think it signs that something good will happen. Am I right?" His son nodded. He continued, "Well. I guess your intuition is right. Something absolutely great will happen to you today. Emm…I'm sure you know about the Hidaka?" He nodded once again before answered,
"Yes Father, I know them. They are your only rival in business. They have a big corporation just like us. The head is Youzen Hidaka. He has a wife named Rei Hidaka and they have son Ken Hidaka. Am I right?" His father seemed satisfied with his answer.
"So, I think you know already what you have to know. And how old are you now, my son?"
"Twenty one. Twenty two next year. Why?" Answered Ran with a curious voice.
"Perfect. Your age is enough to begin your own life, Ran," said Makoto slowly. Because his son didn't answer, he began to explain it specifically. "You see…Youzen and I were having a conversation last week about our relationship. As you know, it was quite awful since we were rivals. So we're getting tired from all of this and decided to join our company together. But I think you realize that to join companies is not an easy work. It'll be very hard especially because we have overspread corporations. After having a long conversation, we agreed that to join companies, the fastest and easiest way is give in marriage between our children. No, I've said it wrong. Between our sons."
"What?" Ran's eyes widened as he heard the words his father had just spoke. "You're planning to marry off me and that Ken Hidaka guy?" His mother nodded this time and said, "Yes you are going to marry him Ran whether you like it or not. Besides, I heard this Ken guy was so adorable. I'm sure you will like him, my son."
"It's not the problem, Mother. I mean, I'm sure you know that I'm a straight guy. And why me? Why not Aya? She is a girl after all," Ran was trying to defend himself. His mother shook her head. "Ran, you're the one who will lead your father's company in the future and not Aya. That's why. Besides, answer my question Ran. Do you ever have any girlfriend?"
Ran immediately recognized his clumsiness. He shook his head slowly. So his parents took his anti-girl attitude as an indication that he was gay? It was not fair at all! His father said softly, "Ran…please do what I told you. This is my only request for the rest of my life."
Ran couldn't understand a single word at that time. He was so confused. He took a deep breath and stood up. "I'll go for a walk," muttered Ran before he left his family. His parents looked at each other then sighed deeply. "Don't worry Mother, Father. I'm sure nii-san will understand and do the best thing for him." Suddenly Aya's voice was heard. Her parents just nodded. Aya always knew about her brother.
