Perfect Confrontation

Chapter 2

Sacred Truth

Well… I was thinking if you are free for a dinner with my parents tonight?" Vaan asked.

"Your… your parents?! Vaan, don't you think it is a bit too fast?" Sakura asked in a shocked tone.

"Well, you said the same thing last month didn't you? And the last two months ago, you said you were busy with your studies," Vaan complains at Sakura.

"But… but… do you think they will like me?" Sakura asked.

"I bet they will with your cute attitude!" Vaan tries to make Sakura believes that his parents will be nice to her.

"Hoe…." Sakura blushed on the phone.

"Well, Sakura, my love, would you just come to the dinner tonight? I promise to treat you for a snack at dessert shop, okay?"

"Um, I want chocolate sundae with lots of chocolate chips on top and also a cup of strawberry milk… a deal?"

"Are you sure? You might turn out to be a fat lady and I might not be interested to marry you anymore," Vaan teased.

"Since when I said I will marry you?"

"Since now,"

"Hanyaan… I can't even see any wedding ring lying on my table," Sakura pouted.

"Well, do you mind looking through the window that you can see the gate?"

"Okie…" Sakura turns her head around and take a few steps to the window, with the phone on her hand.

She saw a guy wearing his long black pant, white shirt with a black coat, leaning on a sport car with a bunch of roses on the car while his hand was holding a box.

"VAAN!!" Sakura was surprised.

"Sakura, would you marry me please?" Vaan said in the phone while lowering one of his feet down and with his hand moved up to the side of the window at the middle of the road.

"Vaan! Everyone is looking at you!! And you are standing in the middle of the road… what will happen if a car knocked you down?" Sakura was in a panic.

"If you didn't agree to get married to me, I wouldn't stand up,"

"Vaan, don't be such a child, okay? Get up now else stand where you are… before everyone stares at you," Sakura hanged the phone and rushed to the car.

"Would you marry me now?" Vaan asked.

"Vaan please… let us discuss it some day later, I will go out for a dinner with your parents today, okay?" Sakura pleased.

"Sakura… I am 23 while your 17 already," Vaan pouted like a child asking for candy but then he smirked instead, "Okay, your going out with me tonight,"

"Now then you mentioned about 17… I am only 17 Vaan, would you mind to just wait for me for a couple more years? Once I finished my education?" Sakura asked.

"Anything my dear," Vaan said and hugged Sakura up and let her down at the seat.

"Vaan… it is not the time for me to get off my work yet!" Sakura said again.

"But then, the principle seems to be okay with it and also how can I let you see my parents in such an outfit," Vaan said with a wink at the principle of the kindergarten and the old lady winked and waved back at them as Vaan drove off with the speed of 180km/s.

Vaan stops his car in front of a very high class fashion shop and took Sakura out of the car. As he opens the door, a ding-dong sound can be heard.

"Good Afternoon Sir, how may I help you?" A girl, who seems to be the sales girl asked.

"I would like you to get a pair of clothes which suit to be in the evening dinner and the price doesn't matter for this young lady here," Vaan said.

"Okay, Sir," The girl said and pulls Sakura into the dressing closet while Vaan was looking for a pair of clothes for himself as well.

10 minutes later, Sakura walks out from the changing closet with her hair tied up, wearing a long black satin night gown looking cloth with a pair of gloves on her hand and pearl looking beads all around the lower part of the gown. Vaan was staring at Sakura with surprise on his face but not much as he believes Sakura is a beautiful girl since he met her in the early memories.

"Put this on," Vaan said, handing a pair of shiny glass shoes to Sakura and Sakura did as followed.

"So, how is it?" Sakura asked.

"Your wonderful!" Vaan said and walks to her back.

"What..." Before Sakura can finish her sentence, she can feel a necklace around her neck and when she looks at herself through the mirror, she saw a magnificent necklace, a necklace made of silver chains with a white colored's heart diamond symbol at the middle of it. The necklace is too perfect to be said as it matches the gown perfectly.

"Now, everyone will believe that you are a princess, well, you are my princess," Vaan said with a smirk as he looks handsome in his clothes as well. The black tuxedo with a butterfly tied ribbon on his neck.

Vaan went to the counter and signed on a piece of paper after he handed out his credit card.

"How much does all these cost?" Sakura asked… curiously when Vaan walked back.

"Not a price to be matched for your glorious looks right now," Vaan replied with another smile on his face.

"Stop teasing me, Vaan!" Sakura pouted again, with an angry look on her face.

"Hehe, okay, mi'lady,"

"Is it a table for two?" A waiter asked when Sakura and Vaan walks in.

"No, I already had an appointment and my parents seem to be waiting for us inside as well," Vaan said.

"Your name is?" The waiter asked again.

"Vaan, Vaan Arstar," Vaan replied in a cold manner voice, the tone which every rich people should be having… A tone which Sakura will never imagine herself to be using as it sounds rude to her.

"Oh, Vaan Arstar of the Arstar Company, please go to the VIP room as your parents are waiting for you," The waiter said. Vaan walks to the VIP room with out even saying a word thanks and Sakura thinks its rude too but then she had gotten used to Vaan and she even smiled at the waiter as a symbol of appreciation.

Vaan opens the door of a big room. A couple was sitting there, waiting for them as they are not surprised by their attendance. Vaan was holding Sakura's hand as they took a seat.

"Dad, Mum, I would like you to meet Kinomoto Sakura," Vaan said, introducing Sakura.

"So, this is the young girl whom you have always been mentioning since a few months ago? She is such a fine lady. Well, it is a pleasure to meet you, Sakura," The lady who happens to be Vaan's mother said with a soft tone.

"It is a pleasure to meet you as well, Mrs. Arstar… and also Mr Arstar," Sakura blushed as Vaan's mother complimented about her.

"Please, don't call me Mrs. Arstar, it makes me felt so old! Just call me Madam Ashley," Vaan's mother said again.

"Your not old! Mrs- I mean- Madam Ashley," Sakura said again. Madam Ashley smiles at her as she talks to the waiter who has been standing there for quite a long time. Vaan's Father was just staring at some piece of paper with his spectacles as he hears their conversation.

A few minutes later, food were served and Sakura gave her greets to the elders before she starts her food. When she was eating, Vaan's father talked.

"Well, Sakura, What is your father's occupation?" Vaan's father asked in his business tone.

"Well, Actually…" Before Sakura can finish it again…

"They have their own company, dad," Vaan said. Sakura was surprised at Vaan and gave him the stare of What-are-you-talking-about.

"That shall suit to be you bride, I was still afraid of you find the wrong person to be your bride a few days before you brought Sakura back… but then, now I have seen that Sakura is a perfect match for you so what type of company they are having?" Madam Ashley asked.

"The company that is in charge of the car's engine's company," Vaan continued his lie. As it went further, Sakura can't stand anymore… as she hates lies so she stands up…

"Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Arstar, My parents happen to be in dead in a car accident a few years ago and also I currently have no interest in marrying your son at all," Sakura said, rushing out from the restaurant.

Vaan was about to went after her… "Son, I would like to demand for an explanation of this incident," Mr. Arstar said again in his business tone.

Naki: whee, second chapter finished after 2 hours of typing! I am so keen to write the second chapter as the story is being played in my head non stop… but currently having writer's block on my other story .

Why sacred truth for this chapter? Because Sakura's truth about her parents was being hidden by Vaan's lies so it can be rated as sacred… I love this chapter a lot… although it might be a bit rush but then I am trying to explain everything……

Hehe, what will happen now after all the fluffy thing happened? Read and also REVIEW! Lol

Oh yeah, thanks to maxiwolfblossom for inspiring me to write the second chapter even faster! (my first reviewer… touched!)
