I'm not supposed to love you
Chapter 2
At last the long hours of waiting has finally arrived the entrance to the airport was very crowded on that day, it only shows that there were lots of people are waiting for their love ones or friends arrival. Allen was getting too frustrated because of all the people blocking his way and also being push as he tried to get to the entrance where he was supposed to meet Hitomi.
"Damn! How I hate too much crowd! Excuse me, please excuse me!"
The fuss that was happening at that very moment was abruptly ended when a black limo pulls in and many securities escorted the person that was inside the vehicle.
"The Fanel's?" Allen was puzzled when he recognizes Mr. & Mrs. Fanel along with their daughter Merle as they made their way inside accompanied by several body guards. The Fanel's were a very well known people because of how rich they were. They own too many companies and also have some business affiliates from other countries as well. Just this week it was said from the news and also in known magazine that one of their son was about to be married to one of the daughter of a very well known family, it is said that this family which Van was supposed to be future wife owns an oil company and right now they are here to meet their future daughter in law which was arriving coming from Canada.
"Shoots! Now I know why is it there are too many people here! The people were all curious on that damn Fanel's fiancée! Great! Just great! I forgot all about it! What a very wrong day for me to ask Hitomi to come for a visit!" Allen said crossly to himself while he looks at his wrist watch and frown when he saw that it was only a minute before nine. The blond teenager cursed again and was too aggravated because until now he was still trapped in the middle of too much crowd.
Meanwhile Hitomi was walking dragging her suitcase her long honey brown hair was tied up and she also wore her sun glass, so it hides her emerald eyes. Her outfit was a sleeveless fitting black shirt and jeans that shows how sexy she was. She has milky white flawless skin.
"My goodness! How will I ever find my knight with that crowd?" Hitomi said surprise can be seen on her beautiful face.
"I guess I should wait for the people to lessen a bit." She sigh and once again drag her suitcase finding a chair to sit on, the honey browned haired girl stops from her tracks when Varie called her attention and tightly hugs her.
"Ishikawa Miyazaki. Welcome!" Varie said cheerfully as she continues to embrace the confused girl.
"E…excuse me?"
"It's very nice to meet you, finally." Gaou Fanel said and shook his hand to Hitomi.
"This is Merle, Van's younger sister."
Mrs. Fanel said and slightly pushes Merle to shake hands with her. Hitomi observe that Merle was rather snobbish and was only force what Varie ask her to do.
"Ni…nice to meet you….But I'm afraid that there's some kind of a mistake here…" Hitomi said but it seems that Mr. & Mrs. Fanel wasn't even listening on what she was trying to tell them because of the excitement of the two.
"Dear, you're very beautiful. I'm sure our son Van will like you." Varie said cheerfully and held the perplex girl on her shoulder to take a better look.
"Tha…thank you…but I'm afraid …"
"Sorry if my son wasn't able to come with us to pick you up. You know how busy he is. But don't worry he'll be joining us this evening at dinner." Gaou said and ask one of their body guards to take Hitomi's stuff.
"Wait a minute! But, but…" Poor Hitomi she wasn't able to explain everything because she was being drag by Mr. & Mrs. Fanel to their black limo.
"Yeah, right as if Onisan was happy at this whole arrangement thing. No wonder Folken left us." Merle said gruffly and tag along with her parents.
On their way to the Fanel's mansion, Hitomi couldn't cut in from the conversation of the two people in front of her because whenever she tries to attempt to tell them, one of them will interrupt her. Only Merle was silent during their journey and how she wished that Mr. & Mrs. Fanel would do the same. But it looks like it was quite impossible especially Varie who always keeps on talking about their son name Van.
"Who is this Van, guy anyway? Why would his parents talk so much nice things about him in front of me? What are this two people up to?" Hitomi thought and stare outside the car window. She has given up already in attempting to talk with them and explain everything. Anyway, maybe later she could tell this two crazy people when they both got tired from all the chatting. "Where are we anyway? This looks like far from the city. Where are these crazy people were taking me?" The emerald eyed girl mumble when she notices the roadway, there were heaps of trees that they already pass by and she haven't seen any single house only different kinds of trees and some horses. It looks like a country to me. Varie notice Hitomi's curiosity, she smiled and laid a hand on her shoulder.
"Beautiful isn't it?" Varie said.
"Yeah, I've never been on countryside before."
"My dear, all the things that you see, belongs to us." Gaou said and smiled to her.
"Wh…what?! You mean…all of it?" Hitomi said and was awed. The Fanel's except Merle only nodded while she couldn't believe what they just told her.
"For pete sake! Aren't your family were rich as well?! For sure you also own a pace like this!" The pink haired girl said derisively and eyed Hitomi suspiciously.
"Well, I um…"
"Merle! How dare you say that to our guest?!"
"But, Okasan I was just only telling the truth!"
"It's okay, I don't mind at all." Hitomi said and smiled.
"I'm sorry dear; our daughter is not in the mood today, kindly forgive her rudeness. But don't worry I'm sure you'll get along somehow." Varie said sweetly to Hitomi and gently squeeze her hand for assurance.
"Merls is not that bad; she's just shock on the engagement between you and her brother Van. She loves her brother so much; she's just concern that you might take her place in her brother's hearth." Gaou said to the emerald eyed girl.
"I'm not!"
"A, a what?!" Hitomi was taken aback when she heard about the engagement for she never realizes what big trouble she's now into. First of all she was only mistaken for some one else and she didn't know these people, second she was never able to meet her knight of ceili which she was looking forward before summer had started, and the bad thing about it was her cyber friend might think that she just stood him up which was not. But the worst of all on this whole thing is being engaged to a person she hardly knew. Why was it whenever something would finally go right in her life this worst thing will happen. Hitomi groans at the thought of this and her head began to ache trying to figure out how she will ever escape from all this trouble.
"Are you alright dear?" Varie was concern when she saw Hitomi rub her aching temple.
"Yeah, I think I'm alright." Hitomi lied and pause for a minute to gather all of her strength because she finally decided to tell them, it's now or never. But, when she has the courage suddenly her cell phone rungs.
"O, great! It's just what I needed!" She cursed to herself when she saw who the caller was, it was her friend Yukari. Instead of answering the call she just simply turns off her cell.
"Well, here we are dear, welcome to our home." Varie said with a smile, Hitomi couldn't help herself but whistle when she saw how huge the mansion was. From outside of the said mansion it was obvious that it contains for about three floors and the structure it's like one of those rich people in Hollywood or one that she usually saw on American film. It has a fountain in the middle of the big lawn, it also has a greenhouse but she doesn't know who among this people loves plants. As they enter inside she also notices the different kinds of expensive furniture and also some paintings that hang from every wall. Hitomi also observe that the ceiling and also their windows was made of glass which has a design of dragons and some angles. The emerald eyed beauty was snap out from her observation when Mr. Fanel's called the attention of every servants and butler and lined in front of her for introduction.
"Every one I want you to meet Lady Ishikawa Miyazaki our guest and future daughter in law." Gaou said.
"I want you all to be nice to her and treat her well during her stay; after all she will become member of this family very soon."
"O my god! O my god! I can't believe this is all happening." Hitomi thought miserably as nervousness wells up inside her. Because of her tense she didn't notice that Merle was silently observing her, resting her back comfortably from the wall both hands cross in front of her chest and doubt can be seen on the girls features.
"It was a pleasure meeting you lady Ishikawa." The entire servant said and they all bow their heads as a sign of respect in Japanese custom.
"Um…um nice to meet you all too…and…and…thank you very much foryour warm welcome…" Hitomi said tensely while she scratches the back of her head, she could feel her face heat up because of the embarrassment she felt. She didn't know how to act nor what to do for she was never used too to many servant also being treated like a princess. For the first time since she had met these two people she's very thankful that Varie has saved her from the uneasiness she's now feeling from all of this.
"Yumi, please take our guest to her room so that she could take some rest."
"Hai." The servant named Yumi said and bowed to her while she took Hitomi's stuff.
"Wait!" Hitomi said.
"What is it dear?" Varie said sweetly as she looks at the emerald eyed girl.
"I'm afraid that there's some kind of a mistake here."
"What do you mean by a mistake?" Gaou said and confusion could be seen from his face along with the other people that was also present there. Hitomi was getting more nervous now that all their attention was focused on her waiting for what she might say.
"Well…I…um…well what I mean is…I'm not…"
"Yes dear?" Varie said impatiently.
"What's wrong? Don't you like it here?" Gaou was worried when he notices the girls uneasiness.
"No, it's not that. It's just, it's just…"
"Then what is it?" Hitomi couldn't meet Mr. fanel's questioning eyes because the more she want to tell them the more she became nervous.
"It's now or never, I must tell it to them before it get even worse." Hitomi thought and again gather all of her remaining strength. The girl took a deep breath when suddenly someone spoke.
"Father, you're already here?" Van said and made his way down the stairs. Hitomi could feel her hearth stop from beating and mouth slightly open when she saw the handsome person coming towards them. He has an unruly black hair, he wore a dark blue long sleeve polo shirt and cream colored pants, and his face was perfectly formed. She imagines that after all of her trouble she never thought she would meet this very handsome guy. He could be a model from a famous magazine because of his good looks. My goodness this guy was so, so cute too the emerald eyed girl thought while she couldn't tore away her eyes on him.
"Van, I thought that you wouldn't be here until dinner." Gaou said to his son and gave him a fatherly hug.
"I am, but I have forgot something that's why I came back to get it."
"Honey, I want you to meet Ishikawa Miyazaki. She's the one we've been telling you."
Varie said to him.
"Nice to meet you." Van said casually and shook his hand with her. Hitmi took out her breath that she didn't know how long she's been holding and she could feel her hearth pounding wildly.
"Hi…Hi! Nice to meet you too…" The emerald eyed girl said. "Wow! I think I'm gonna love it here." Hitomi thought with a dreamy expression and her eyes was already in a hearth shape form. Good thing that she still wore her sun glass or else it would too embarrassing when Van notice the dreamy look in her eyes.
"I'm Ishikawa Miyazaki." Hitomi lied as she still holds his hand.
