Chapter 1: The Businessman and The Painter
Inside one of the tallest and biggest tower located at the heart of Tokyo, a 24 years old man known to many as one of the hottest bachelor in Japan and a shrewd businessman, Natsume Hyuuga , president of Hyuuga Enterprise which is one of the leading company in the world, is looking through documents piled up on top of his expensive table.
His messy raven hair framing his expressionless but gorgeous crimson eyes skimmed through the documents with amazing speed, his face which is perfect from any angle, his tanned skin with body built proportionally just like the statue of David or even more slumped on the chair tiredly. It is almost midnight, but this handsome man who has been featured by countless magazines is still fully concentrating on his work.
RING! RING! RI-.
"Hello!" slightly irritated that his concentration is now gone, the raven head picked up the phone with slightly louder voice than normal. When laughter is the only sound heard from the other line, he immediately knows who the other person is.
"I know I would find you here and from the frustrated sound that I just heard I could tell you are still working and I just disturbed you." Ruka Nogi his best friend since childhood predicted. Just like Natsume he is also the owner of one of the leading company in the world, though his company Nogi Enterprise is only the 5th whereas Hyuuga Enterprise is topping the list now.
"What? are you stalking me now? " Answer an annoyed Natsume. Tired from doing work for the whole day, which is in his case would be a week worth of normal people, his mood is not really rainbow and sunshine now. " Ha Ha Ha, very funny Natsume. How long do you think I know you that I won't know your bad habit?"
"Tch!" is the only comeback that Natsume can give. "But seriously Natsume, I'm kind of worried of you, working from early morning until late, bringing the leftover to home and as if it's not enough you spent weekends doing another pile of documents."
Truthfully, he was not the only one who scolded him of the same thing. His mother, father, sisters and also his close friends keep reminding him of this fact.
"It's up to me what I do with my time and it's not as if I am doing some kind of criminal act. You should be thankful of that fact." Hearing this, Ruka could only roll his eyes; this is the same answer that he gets from his stubborn hard-headed best friend of his.
"It's not like your company will go bankrupt if you just take your time to enjoy life a bit. For God Sake I don't even know if you sleep or eat at all from that hectic schedule of yours. Try to find a girlfriend it should help curing this workaholic disease of yours, or don't tell me that you do not want to marry or even worse you are becoming gay?" (Sorry no offense to gays)
"You know that's not the case I could get any girl I want and do you think my mother will let me off the hook if I never marry? As of now she already bugged me every day about wanting grandchildren before she has any more wrinkles."
"Yeah, I heard that from your cousin." Hotaru Imai, a beautiful woman cold, amethyst eyes that could hypnotize any man and with a body with curves placed at the right places and the president of Imai Intelligence and Invention or shortly know as Triple I is Natsume Hyuuga's cousin and also fiancée of Ruka Nogi. Nobody knows how she successfully captured one of the hottest, richest and most famous bachelors in Japan. Their personality is totally different like Heaven and Earth. But it did happen and the both of them are deeply in love with each other, though Hotaru would prefer death than saying it out loud to the world.
" I am just waiting for the right time and the right woman to come or do you want me to revert back to my high school time and here I thought you want me to quit it"
'Well he is a big time playboy during that time.' To make it clearer Natsume Hyuuga was once a famous player in Japan, he would change his girlfriend every 3 days, and the longest record time is 2 weeks and that's only because the girl is very persistent. With the kind of look that he has, girls come flocking around him trying to get his attention without him doing anything. But Natsume soon realize that no matter how many girls he had there is still something that is missing deep inside his heart, he still feel lonely and more often than not he will feel annoyed by the attitude of his girlfriends. The furthest he had gone with his girlfriend is only making out and every kiss was not initiated by him.
Ruka sighed, giving up trying to make his best friend to change his unhealthy lifestyle. "If that's what you want then. But still take care of yourself."
Natsume rolled his crimson eyes. "Yes, my dearest mother."
Ruka rolled his eyes, "Whatever Natsume, By the way I was calling you regarding that art exhibition that will be coming soon. Hotaru want to inform you that she had found all the info of all excellent painters that would be perfect for this exhibition."
Hyuuga Enterprise is dealing almost all sorts of things such as electronics, hotels, resorts, restaurants and supermarkets. Because the newest and the rumoured one of the most luxurious hotel in the world is a partnership between the Hyuuga Enterprise, Nogi Enterprise and the Yukihara Enterprise, for the launching of his newest hotel he will be holding an art exhibition and auction some paintings from many local painters for and the money received from this event will be for charity. This event is a collaborated event from Hyuuga Enterprise, Nogi Enterprise and also the famous Yukihara Enterprise which is on par with Hyuuga Enterprise. With such powerful sponsors, the event is predicted to be a huge event.
Yukihara Enterprise is powerful in America where the headquarter is located while they also have a considerable amount of power in Japan as well, whereas the Hyuuga Enterprise is the opposite of it, they are powerful in Japan but not much in America. The family is a close friend to his family but they move to America a few months after Natsume born and he only know the Yukihara family has 2 heirs, one is the president of Yukihara Japan branch and another one is his kohai from elementary school all the way to high school who live with his brother for a few years before returning back to America. Yukihara family is a mystery to everyone, they rarely seen by public and people only know a bit of their family info.
"Okay, send the documents to me and I will take care of the rest." Natsume said in his business mode again.
'Sigh, he will definitely overwork himself again. He really needs to get a wife or at least a girlfriend that could scold him better than I do.' Ruka inwardly thought this. "Well ok then, I will send it as soon as my office hour start, which is tomorrow morning. That's why you should use this little free time of yours to rest as well."
Natsume rolled his crimson eyes yet again. "Alright already, I promise I will do that as soon as my work here is finished."
"Fine, but be sure to do that see you tomorrow. We will be having lunch together tomorrow, I will make sure that you will eat a healthy food tomorrow and no you cannot decline my offer or give me some excuses I already told your assistant about it. "
Sigh." OK, fine see you tomorrow." He hangs up the phone completely given up in arguing with his best friend anymore.
He sighed as if the weight of the world is on his shoulder. He turned his chair, looking thorough to see the lights of Tokyo. 'A girlfriend huh?' Well if there is a girl out there who do not worship him as a god and throw herself to him he would surely consider getting himself a girlfriend, hell he would even consider himself getting a wife. 'Like I could find that kind of girl that easily, is a girl like that even exists in the first place?'
He shrugged as if someone really asks him that question out loud and turned back again facing his table piled with papers. 'This will be yet another long night.'
The next morning in a small apartment in Tokyo there live a girl with beautiful brunette hair, body with curves that even models would die for, and empty eyes. It's not like she is a cold or emotionless girl, it's the opposite actually she is a very cheerful girl that could brighten up anyone's day, so why her eyes as described is are empty? Well it's actually because she lost her ability to see. Her name is Mikan Sakura, she live alone in her small apartment which she bought using all of her savings. It's is small , but the inside is beautiful with orange colour paint and white carpet and her paintings decorating almost every space there is in her house., she is very proud of her house.
"Hmm… It's yet another beautiful day to start painting." The beautiful brunette exclaimed to the world. Yes people she is a painter and she just graduated from her art major in college as the valedictorian. The painting that she had made as her final year project had gain recognition even from outside Japan. She is now known as the young prodigy from Japan, although when she is in high school she almost failed all the subjects except Physical Education, Art and Home economic.
She walks slowly to her so called working chair and start preparing to make another masterpiece. She keeps painting using her fingers changing each colour and makes the canvas more colourful and lively, until suddenly her hand phone ring. That is the phone call that will turn her entire world upside down.
