( Chapter 2 : The Big Boxes )

Pirika got chosen .

And so and eventually , the two got engaged and were living in the same room but sleeping on different beds . Their relationship was quite bland and silent . Though Pirika would make an effort to try to make friends with that person but she was always harshly retorted back . At times , Ren would noticed his wife , her soft long hair , her light fragant scent , her intriguing blue eyes . ( disgusting to notice such things , but I've got to have a romantic story. Gomen . ) But did not noticed more than that , and thought neither more of it .

Pirika was , at one time , doing a school project and she had to bring some huge ( when I mean huge I mean HUGE ) cardboard boxes up to her club at school .

" Ren , could you help me to bring some boxes up to my classroom tomorrow ? "

" No , do it yourself . "

" But those boxes are so big ! I cannot carry them all alone ."

" Then find some way to ." Ren said blandly .

" Awww ... , please ? "

" No , and don't disgust me ."

" I cannot carry them all . ( exasperated ) Look how big those boxes are ! " Pirika exclaimed , looking at the boxes scared of how she had to carry them all up .

" No . "

" Pleeeeeease ? "

" No. "

" Pleeeeeeeease ? "

" No . "

" Pleeeease ? "

And so , it carries on ...

Ren got infuriated .

" SHUT UP ! FINE ! I will take the boxes up to your club , okay , will you stop the whining now ? "

" Thanks ! I'll treat you to some goodies someday ." Pirika said delighted , giving Ren a big pat on the back .

" Whatever . " and walked off .

So , on the next day , Ren grudgingly brought some of the boxes to Pirika's club . Pirika was almost covered with those boxes . After they put down the boxes in the room , Ren proceeded to go back to the truck that he called for bringing the boxes . Pirika had to come too as she still had her school bag and notes to carry . ( It was a normal school day mind you and Ren's class was an hour after Pirika's first class . )

On their way down , the girls in the school noticed Ren . They were all very eager to get to know him . Whispers and little things flew around the corrider Ren and Pirika just passed through .

" That guy is so handsome ! "

" Oh if only I could make him fall crazily in love with me ... "

" Pirika seems to know him ! Lucky her . " a girl said jealously .

" He has such glaring gold eyes and such a enticing face . "

Ren heard these and just smirked . Pirika , on the other hand , seemed to have not noticed anything .

After that , many girls who did not like Pirika at first were eager to become her friends . And dear , naive Pirika happily accepted them .
