I Can See Your Voice

Ch. 1. Omiai


"I'm Hiiragizawa Eriol, please to meet you," the dark haired young man bow politely beside the red haired lady, named Kaho Mizuki, who acted as his godmother after his parents died a couple years ago. Both of them look presentable with formal wear.

Tomoyo and her mother, Sonomi Daidouji, bowing to them to return their greeting. She wears pink blue colored furisode with her hair half tied on the back. "I'm Daidouji Tomoyo, please to meet you," said the girl after her mother introduced herself. The conversation go on between Sonomi and Kaho about the wedding in detail while Tomoyo's eyes locked to the man who seated in front of her.

Through the wire glasses, the blue eyes meet amethysts before he smiles and Tomoyo did the same. None of them say anything beside the introduction and just letting their respected parents to decided whatever their wedding necessity. After a while, Kaho noticed their silent and she suggested to walk together in the garden outside the room so they can talk more private to get know each other. Sonomi seconded the idea. Eriol and Tomoyo took their advice before walk out the room to the Japanese garden outside this room.

This is a classic Japanese restaurant. From their room and the garden are so classic. This place also often used for omiai. Like what happened to Daidouji and Hiiragizawa family. Tomoyo knew it will happened to her since Daidouji family had a large business scale and very successful. However, there is a reason behind the success story and maybe unbelievable for people nowadays, which is... including a fortune-teller. There are families who can do premonition and with great value. But, they only use their premonition on family. In other words, to get their service it is necessary to become their family. One of those family is Hiiragizawa.

Both of them walking in silent for several minutes until they quite far from the room but still in the area of restaurant before Eriol broke their pregnant silent.

"It is awkward, isn't it, Daidouji-san?" He smiled to the girl beside her. A sound of apology is noticeable, "I'm sorry about that."

"Oh, it's not like that, Hiiragizawa-kun," she smiled politely.

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Let's see, then we should talk about where we gonna live and planning how many kids we are gonna have," his smile gone to replace with serious tone.

She blinked.

Then, Tomoyo couldn't help but let her chuckling out. "Okay, I get it, Hiiragizawa-kun. Definetely awkward."

"See?" He chuckled too. "I need to ask you something no matter how awkward and maybe you're uncomfortable since this is our first meet. Is it okay, Daidouji-san?"

Tomoyo nodded and smiled, "What is it, Hiiragizawa-kun?"

"Are you okay with this arranged marriage?" Eriol put aside the playful joke and put in a real serious face although he keep his voice soft. "I mean, is there someone...like a boyfriend? If you want, I can talk on your behalf to cancel our wedding."

She blinked again and stood still for a while. It surprised her to get asked by your groom-to-be about cancelling the wedding. She was not expected this. The omiai (arranged marriage) although in one way can be called political marriage since the purpose in it was not love but benefits for both family. Tomoyo only knew the name from heir of Hiiragizawa. She never knew that he was—

"You are so kind..."

A gentle smile formed in her lips. Touched by his kindness.

The thought for breaking the omiai never come accross her mind because, "Thank you, but I don't have a boyfriend or someone like that. Sorry to dissapointed you, Hiiragizawa-kun." However, she was amazed how thoughtful he was for considering to turn the wedding off if she has someone special.

"Why should I be dissapointed? I'm the luckiest," Eriol smiled again.

She blushed a bit and asked him back, "How about you? Any girlfriend?"

"If I have one, do you think I will offering you to break this wedding?"

"Well, yes, maybe if I have a boyfriend, your offering mean that was an invitation to elope together?"

There are a pop up of an image about them elope with unknown persons like it was a double date. They were froze a moment before both of them bursting a laughter together. Took seconds to cool down and talk again.

"Yeah, that's a good point, Daidouji-san. I'm afraid I have to give you a bad news that I don't have one." He sighed while smiling.

"Bad news? It sounds a good news," the girl chuckling.

Eriol blinked then his smiled genuinely. They couldn't help but felt happy with their discovery of others. The awkwardness between them were forgotten. Neither of them expected they can talk easily in their first met. Both are troubled about what should say before they meet since they don't have experienced about a relationship. It doesn't matter now. They knew they just click and relieved with that fact.

"If I'm not wrong, you are 20, aren't you?" He turn his body to her. His smiles still on his lips.

She nodded. "And, you are 25, right?"

"Yes, I've heard you will graduate soon on your colleague. That's why they arranged this wedding. I think it's design or music. I heard you are singer too. What is your major?"

"It's Fashion Design. Well, I love to sing sometimes and joined a choir club but never thinking my career will be in that direction." She remember the file about Eriol that gave to her by Sonomi. Tomoyo guess that he received the same file about her. "You are a musician, aren't you?"

"Yeah, just came back from England few days ago. I will have a performance next week in Tomoeda Hotel. Would you like to come and watch? I'll give you the ticket, if you want to come."

"I would love to, Hiiragizawa-kun."

Eriol took a moment in silent and smile gently, "I'm glad the one who will be my bride is you, Daidouji-san."

A warm feeling spread inside her chest, made her smile sweetly, "You took my words first, Hiiragizawa-kun."

They both chuckling. Eriol took out his smart phone from his inside suit pocket, "Can I have your number, Daidouji-san? I promise I won't call you if you're busy."

"I'm not busy anymore. I finished the last project for my fashion show," she gave her number after took out her phone. They exchanged the number.

"Great! You can call me anytime, Daidouji-san."

She nodded, smiled.

"Oh, one more thing, I almost forgot." Eriol look at her amethysts almost one minute then smile again, "You look beautiful, Daidouji-san."

"You'll getting married, Tomoyo-chan?!"

The shocked came from her best friends after she told them what happen yesterday afternoon about the omiai. Tomoyo and 4 other girls meeting in the cafe near their university. They have different reactions towards the news and receiving the wedding invitation from Tomoyo.

"Yes, Sakura-chan," she nodded and smiled to the emerald eyes girl beside her who look so shocked. Well, not much different from others.

"After graduation? We will graduate next month!"

"The wedding will be held 10 days after our graduation. On my birthday, Chiharu-chan."

Naoko's eyes looks so sparkly, "With the infamous pianist!"

"Famous?"

"Yeah, the newcomer pianist from England, he is so famous in England but in Japan just few months ago his CD start selling fast. I always love to listening his music whenever I writing story. It's inspired me!" She told them with enthusiastic. "And now suddenly you will marry him!"

"Oh, it wasn't a last minute decision, Naoko-chan," she chuckled after their reactions. "My mother already told me about the marriage since last year but we never met before because he was so busy. And he got scheduled to perform in Japan next week, that's why we just met yesterday."

"Last year?" Sakura and others exchanged look a second, "But, you never told us anything about this after all this time."

She smiled sadly, "I'm sorry, because the wedding date and others not decided yet, so I'm not sure it will happen this year."

"But, Tomoyo-chan... it's arranged marriage, are you okay?" Rika look concerned about her. The others give them the same look. Not because they knew she had a boyfriend but because they are wondering this wedding not based on love.

"I think I'm gonna be okay. He is a generous man," she chuckling while telling them about his offered to call off the wedding if Tomoyo had boyfriend. They chuckled too. Enough picture how kind he is. She asked them to become her bridesmaids and they gladly accepted it.

A glance of the invitation, Chiharu asked, "Ne, Tomoyo-chan, can we meet him?"

"Ah, it's good idea! I would love to meet him in person," Naoko seconded the idea. Sakura adding, "We want to see the man who will be your husband, Tomoyo-chan." The other tree nodded together. She knew they want to know what kind of man who will be her husband because they worried about Tomoyo. They knew her love live all this time and not hard to figure out that they knew the reason she accepted the omiai.

"I'll try to ask him," she smiled after letting out a sigh.
