At Kazakiri Yamato's house.

"What are you talking about, dad?" Yamato asked surprisingly. "I just returned Japan after 4 years studying aboard and now you said you want me to get married with your friend's daughter?"

"Yes, you're 23 now. It's time to have your own family." Yamato's dad said calmly. "I arranged everything."

"Why did you do that? I want to decide by myself! Moreover, I don't know anything about that girl, even her name. How can I marry her?"

"But she's a good girl. She's a daughter of my old best friend. Her mother died when she was young, she is also a mother orphan since she was young like you. She also went abroad to study and just returned to Japan. I feel the two of you have much in common."

"No, I don't want an arranged marriage." Yamato shook his head. "Whatever you say, I won't get married."

"You dare to argue with me?" Yamato's dad shouted. "You're my son, you must listen what I say."

"No, dad! Not this time!"

Then Yamato stood up and left his house. Yamato picked up his cellphone and called his best friend - Tusk.

…

At DSZ bar club

"Hey Yamato! I'm here!" Tusk call loudly when he saw Yamato from a distance.

Yamato sat next to Tusk, his face seemed to be angry at something.

"After many years not seeing and now you make a frowning face at me?" Tusk asked. "You should remember you're the one who called me come here. So what's wrong with you Yamato?"

"Tusk, you have a house in Osaka but no one lives there, right?" Yamato asked.

"Yes, but why you ask?"

"I want to leave Tokyo. Can I stay at your house temporarily?"

"It's not a big deal. But I want to know why."

"Because my father wants me to get married with his friend's daughter. You know what, I won't get married with a strange girl. That's why I have to leave Tokyo for a while."

"I see it. Okay, I agree. I'll help you."

"Thank you, Tusk. You're my best friend." Yamato said, patting Tusk's shoulder.

…

At that time, at Sela's house.

Sela's life was always arranged by her father, choosing school, picking friends, everything is decided by her father. Because of her strict faather, Sela didn't have many friends. When Sela was 18, she graduated from high school, she wanted to study at a university in Japan, but her father forced her to study in America, whether she wanted it or not. Around the time in America, Sela's life seemed more pleasant when she was not under the control of her dad. However, Sela was not happy becasue she lived away from home alone. After 4 years, Sela was back in Japan. She was very happy but she didn't expect something would happen and changed her life.

That evening, when Sela was reading book, she heard the call of the butler "Sela-san, your dad want to talk to you."

"Okay, I'm coming now." Sela stood up and said.

After that, Sela quickly go to her father's room, she stood at the door and knock.

"Come in." Sela's dad said.

Sela opened the door and enter the room.

"Hi dad, what do you want to talk?" She asked.

"Something important." Sela's dad told her "Sela, this year you'll be 22 year olds; I think it's time to get married."

"What? Get married?" Sela jumped out of her skin. "I don't get it."

"When you went to study abroad, I met my old best friend." Sela's dad said "When we were students, we were in each other's pocket, but after graduation, my friend and his family moved to Canada to live, then we lost contact. Unexpectedly, 2 months ago, I met him at the chairman's meeting of large corporations of Japan.

"Wow! It's a small world!" Sela surprised.

"Not only that, it's a fate, too." Sela's dad nodded "Sela, I and my friend have been separated for years, now we meet again and each other has own career. Our friendship is as close as before, but we still want the relationship of two families more attached.

Sela's heart pounded harder, beads of sweat stood out on her face. Not caring about the stressful attitude of his daughter, Sela'dad still said calmly "Coincidentally, I has a daughter, my friend has a son. But at that time both of you were studying abroad, so we made a deal when two of you return to Japan, we will let you two get married."

Sela heard that, and she felt like the sky was spinning. After a few day she returned to Japan, her father told her have to get married. She can't accept it. Sela knew that her father would be the one to set up her future marriage but she didn't expect it come so soon. Actually until now Sela had not loved anyone yet, she didn't know what love is. She can't marry the one she didn't even know.

"So what do you think, Sela?" Sela's dad asked.

"I… I don't want to get married." Sela said.

"Dad, marriage is very important; please give me some more time, please."

"You want to protest my arrangement?" Sela's dad shouted.

"Sorry dad, I don't know who he is, how he is, I don't know even his name, how can I..." Sela tried to explain.

"You just need to do what I said!" Sela's dad said loudly. "After 3 days, you and my friend's son will meet each other in a party. He's a good man, you'll be happy with him."

"But dad, seriously I don't want to get married."

"Not another word! My friend and I had already arranged. I won't break the promise. Now go to your room!"

Sela didn't say anything, she knew what she said was useless. Silently walked out, Sela returned to her the room and lied in the bed. She was full of discontented, tears falling unconsciously. She knew that her dad wanted to be good for her, but the marriage was very important, she wanted to decide by herself. Now Sela needed someone to hear her talk and give her advice. Watching the clock, it was already 1:00 AM, who could talk to her at this time? Yes, it can be that Tusk because he was Sela's only best friend during her time in Japan. Then Sela picked up the phone and called Tusk.

…

"Hello, Sela? What happened? It's late now." Tusk picked up the phone and asked.

"Am I bothering you?" Sela asked.

"No, what do you want to talk to me?"

"I was forced to marry a stranger."

"What? You say what?" Tusk thought he was wrong, he asked quickly "Are you going to get married?

"My father arranged this marriage. I don't know what he looks like, even his name." Sela whimpered.

"Why don't you say to him that you don't want?"

"I tried but it was all in vain. What should I do now, Tusk? I don't want to get married. I don't want to get married with a stranger.

"Okay, calm down. I promise I'll help you."

"Really? But how? After 3 days, I have to meet that guy."

"After 3 days? It's good!" Tusk suddenly excited.

"Are you kidding me? What is good?" Sela asked tetchily.

"No, nothing. I will explain to you later. Can you meet me tomorrow at the park?"

"Okay."

"Okay. See you tomorrow."

Tusk hung up the phone and laid on the bed.

"I have the way to help Sela." Tusk thought and smiled. "It's a coincidence. I can kill two birds with one arrow."
