Days 37..

After reporting her father's movement to Gaara, Sayuri excused herself while she walked without any destination .. Strolling around the town she didn't have any plans to do, Sayuri got bored by too much cooped inside after she got back from Gaara house yesterday.

Sayuri wants to invite Gaara to go out for dinner , but after seeing his condition make her think twice. He was in a bad mood while she was talking to him, his mind flying to somewhere, or he hasn't cleared the misunderstanding with Layla.

"Her mind is too occupied until she doesn't notice her feet have brought her too bazaar. " Well, let grab something for dinner tonight"

In the midst of choosing the ingredients, Something's catch her smell it was smell so delicious, Sayuri then following the scent thus she came to this stall not far from the place she been earlier..

" Wow, that looks delicious" she was so amazed by the good looking food..

Ara" isn't you Sayuri sama?.. The kazekage fiancee?" .. The old lady greeted her happily. " do you want this?.. Sayuri has not yet say anything that the old lady gave her every one on the menu and gave to her for free..

Sayuri politely refused and insist to pay the food but the old lady very insist to gave the food for free saying she soon be wed to the man that protect their village.

Taking the paper bag full of food, Sayuri thanked kind old women .. Walking away from there, Sayuri somehow finished finding her meal tonight and it was free.. As much as she hates it, this was the one benefit she had while being Gaara's fiance . Wherever she goes, everyone is kind to her and says she was the lucky girl but if they know the truth behind their engagement.. Are they gonna hate her for deceiving them..

Sometimes that has been on her mind, after everything finally over.. Will she too find her own happiness like Gaara and Layla..

"Time seems so fast passed when the first time she braves enough to make a deal with Gaara, even though that time she was afraid because Gaara seemed uninterested but luckily for her she got a trump card..

Get engaged with her only a year, and she promises Gaara will get the suspect that had planned the coup d'etat while in the same he grants her the safety of her life.

At first Sayuri was really scared of him and doing whatever she could to don't spend time with Gaara too much but after knowing him for half a year now there is a kindness in him that some people don't know.

But she admits, Sayuri feels so jealous whenever he talks about Layla . The smile on his face doesn't leave when Layla's name is mentioned on top of all he is overly protective of her.

Maybe if she doesn't get engaged to him, Gaara probably will already marry Layla and their family is already perfect.

'Sayuri kinda wants Layla life, loving and being protected by a man you love more than anything was the happiest in your life.. At least that was what her mother said to her when she was a kid".

Her mother is such a strong beautiful woman, a proud kunoichi of sunagakure.. But in the end, her mother spent the rest of life with the man she didn't love and being abused by her own husband. In the end, her mother took her own life and left her alone with her cruel father.

" You were the same woman as your mother!.. Dirty and doesn't know how to appreciate someone" why she left me you with me instead take you along with her " His father's harsh words still linger in her head until now.

There was no day she could feel his warmth, his gaze upon her was always cold and indifferent.

Sayuri has too much on her world, until she forgets the reality without suddenly bumping into someone.. " Ouch".. She whines while looking up at the person..

Her expression changed instantly when the person she was bumping into was Kenji, her ex boyfriend.. " Sayuri how--..

Sayuri hurriedly ran from there, but Kenji had time to catch her arm, stopping her.. "Let me go!!.. " She pulled her hand off him but Kenji was too persistent and grabbed her hand back.. "She wanted to punch him in the face but her other hand was holding her precious food .

What do you want?!!. She raised an eyebrow, she glared at him.

Let's change our place, there are too many eyes looking at us , Sayuri looking around them and Kenji was right because she screams at many people looking at them. Hurriedly she took Kenji to the alley. Free from people's gaze Sayuri pulls her hand back from him..

How are you doing?.. He asked nicely..

Is that why you do this, just to ask how I am doing?.. " She scoffed to the side not wanting to face him.

Your ring was very beautiful, he chewed his bottom lips as he said to her. Noticing the silver ring with a diamond on her fingers makes Kenji feel disturbed.

Look!!.. If you want to ask that stupid question.. Just go you're wasting my time here" her face turned red.. Sayuri knows she is being childish acting like this but Kenji really gets on her nerves..

By the time she left, all of a sudden Kenji was hugging her from behind.. " Hey!!.. What are you doing.. Let me go Kenji!!.. She tries to kick him , wanting to escape his embrace before she couldn't hold her feelings. Sayuri keeps trying to escape from him..

"As I expected, I couldn't not bear to let you go to other guys.. I missed you Sayuri..

You're were the one made me like this, now unhand me before I yelled!,

Kenji couldn't not bear as he released her, " I know it's my fault and I know there is no turning back.. I'm sorry, Sayuri .

Somehow Sayuri felt disappointed at him just when about to walk away Kenji pulled her hand as her back met the walls slam his hand to the wall he locked her. " Ken-.. Her eyes meet his gaze.

I'm sorry for doing this!' Kenji crushed his lips to make Sayuir's eyes widened.. His fingers trailed to her rings and pulled out from her finger and hid it in his pocket' Just.. let me be your a little bit. ' He says after breaking the kiss.

Sayuri couldn't holding her emotions as she crying on Kenji embrace, 'You fool!!, you late dope!!She says between her sobbing.

Kenji felt so responsible for Sayuri, hugging her tightly as he wished if only he could have the power to run away with Sayuri. Away from people, especially her father.
