Capítulo 62: CHAPTER 62 : Ask The Right Question
Kahina let everything handled by her brothers and she wouldn't bother to interfere with it. For her, it was easier to let them deal with it and she will enjoy the fruits of their labour. At this moment, she needs to focus on figuring out about Touma's plan and she was sure it will become really complicated. It had been three days since she received the roses from him and that was the last contact she had with him. He didn't reply to any of her text nor did he agree to meet her.
Based on the report she received, Nobu Anzo appointed Madam Ara as a matchmaker for Touma. Madam Ara is famous for her reputation as a matchmaker for a wealthy family, and she had been a success on uniting couples based on their demands. Her connection and network, especially with the wives of important people cannot be underestimated. Kahina bears in mind to not offended before because she wants to keep an image of a good daughter within the circle but now was different. If Madam Ara finds the candidate for Touma, then she will be doomed.
She sat near the window with full access to the beautiful Tokyo scenery, accompanied by soft music and a glass of red wine. The restaurant not only famous with the spectacular Tokyo night view but it is also known with the delicious Europian dishes with a touch of Japanese cuisine. Kahina wasn't in hurried to enjoy the meal yet because she was waiting for someone.
The wine was nice, the view was great but the thing she will do later far from the adjective used for wine and the view. Kahina took a sip of the red wine in the glass; enjoy the sweetness lingered in her mouth.
Her eyes attracted to the sound of heels click from far and she smiled to the elegant middle age lady approaching her. She was beautiful with all black jumpsuit and a high bun and not to forget a beautiful red stiletto. There were lines of age on her face but it didn't mask her beauty at all. Her fair skin, long eyelashes and sexy plump lips were enough to make a lot of men turn their gaze to her. Kahina immediately stood up and slightly bowed upon received her greetings.
"Nice meeting you, Miss Hinode."
"The pleasures are all mine, Madam Ara."
Madam Ara took a seat but her eyes never leave the women in front of her. Her beauty captivates anyone around her and the way she handles herself was emitting a royalty aura. The move, the smiles, the talk and even the way she sits was graceful enough allowed her to be the best candidate for any wealthy and influential men and if it is not because of the strict reminders from Mr Anzo, she will be her first choice for his son.
"I don't think it is a pleasure for you since I heard a rumour about you and Young Master of Anzo Family."
Kahina showed her a beautiful smile in return for Madam Ara words. She can't deny the rumour if it was the truth. Her advance to Touma was loud enough to warn any flies from approaching her sweetheart and now, Nobu Anzo publicly announced he is looking for a bride of his son, all her hard work was wasted. At least, when Nobu decided to announce about it, she can take a countermeasure as for today.
"Indeed it was true. And now you are the one responsible to make my wish come true yet you didn't do as I thought you would. Why is that, Madam Ara?" Kahina twirled the glass with a sneer on her face and glared at the middle-aged lady across the table. But her sneer and the glared she threw to the lady didn't budge her at all. Madam Ara had been in the game with all the influential people in the circle and she gained a lot of respect not because she was a pushover. She knows her values and the importance she brought for each of them that is why she able to survive this cut throat world. This young lady would not flinch her heart at all.
"I am a woman of my words, Miss Hinode. My client specifically cut out your name from the list. I'm sorry I can't help you."
"Are you sure you can't?"
"Yes, Miss Hinode. Please don't put me in a tough place. I can't offend you either my client." she said it with a soft voice but the tone was firm.
"I guess nothing I said would change your mind." Madam Ara felt relieved hearing Kahina's words. It is not good if the young lady of Hinode is in bad term with her. One day this young lady might be someone important and she might get revenge for today.
"I'm thankful for your understanding."
"Hmm... If you are thankful to me, how about you let me join you for your hobby next time?" Kahina nonchalantly took another sip and raised her hand for the waiter. He approached her with a menu and she pointed a few of it to him. Her calm composure befuddled Madam Ara. She can't grasp the meaning behind Kahina's word. 'Did she want to join my hobby? What hobby does she mean?'
"Madam Ara, don't you want to order anything?" The waiter instantly handed her with the menu as she took it but put it on the table not interested. She told the waiter to leave the menu and prepared the dish for Kahina because she had a hunch, the next words come out from that little mouth would be something dreadful.
Madam Ara looked at Kahina with an awkward smile and she hid her trembled hands under the table. She had no hobby but one she careful enough not to let the world know about it. The one that gave her great pleasure and fireworks in her monotone life.
"I confused with your words, Miss Hinode. Would you mind to enlighten me which hobby you were referring to?"
Kahina chuckled. She took out an envelope and slide it on the table towards Madam Ara.
"It looks like you were having a blast. I kinda interested to join too."
Madam Ara opened the enveloped and slowly pulled out a stack of pictures. Upon seeing everything on it, her face turned white as a ghost. She couldn't believe these pictures would see a light because she had been vigilant about it.
"Where... where... did... you get it?" Her arrogance a while ago completely disappeared into the thin air and left her with tremendous terrified feeling.
"Where did I get it is not the right question, Madam Ara. I suggest you think of the right question to ask. It might save you."
