Chapter 4 - The Truth About Tea's Past

When Tea arrived at the park, she looked for a quiet place to think. She didn't have to look far and found a bench under the oldest tree in the park. The tree was in full bloom. Tea decided to settle here. She put her school bag next to the bench and sat down. Sighing, she looked at the sky bathed in light red. "What's wrong with me? Could it be that I have a crush? NO !! Not after what happened. That damn guy ... I swore I wouldn't trust a man after this." At that moment she came those terrible feelings and images up again. She crossed her arms over her chest and began to shiver. The sweat stood on her face and she tried to suppress everything again.


As agreed, Sami waited by the big clock. She looked at the clock. "Where has Tea stayed for so long? I've been waiting here for half an hour." Sami took her cell phone out of her pocket and tried to reach Tea, but to no avail. "Hopefully nothing happened to her." Samantha decided to look for Tea, meanwhile she knew where Tea liked to be.


Yami thought feverishly what his father wanted to discuss with him. He's good at school so it has to be something else. Only what.
Suddenly there was something rustling, he stopped to look around. He went to a bush and saw something pink. "Maida !! What are you doing here? Are you chasing me?" "Uh?" "MAIDA?" Slowly Maida straightened up and cleaned the dirt off her clothes. She clasped her hands to fists and said full of anger: "I will not allow any girl who has run along to mess with MY bear." "First, you are crazy and second, I am not YOUR little bear you that at last. "Now Yami was getting angry too.
"But we are meant for each other." "We are not meant for each other, I can't stand you." he yelled at her and turned around. Yami just left them standing in the bushes. She stood there a little shocked, but that changed quickly. "We'll see that, my friends. I always get what I want and if you don't want to volunteer, then by force."


After a long search, Samantha finally found Tea. She was sitting on a bench and didn't look too good. Sami watched Tea for a while as she sat on the bench with her arms crossed and teetering. She walked up to them slowly and saw how her sweat was on her face. Samantha sat down next to her. Tea didn't notice any of this, she was too lost in her thoughts. "Tea?" She jumped up and saw Sami looking at her with worried eyes. “Thank goodness nothing happened to you, but what's the matter with you?” Tea just looked at her. // God, am I really sweaty meeting Sami now? // thought Tea. She was about to apologize when Samantha waved it off and asked what was going on. "Tell me.What's wrong with you? "Tea turned away. But Samantha didn't give up. She got Tea to tell her everything.


A few streets away, Yami went home in a rage. When he got home, he slammed the door behind him. “What is she thinking about?” This loud protest did not go unnoticed, because his father came out of the study with a pipe in hand. "Hello my son. Why so angry? Were there any problems at school?" Yami stopped and looked at his father. "Hello father. I'm sorry if I bothered you with my loud screams and no at school was no problem." "Then that's okay." He smiled and took a drag on his pipe. Then it occurred to Yami that his father wanted to discuss something with him. "It's good that you remind me of it. Please come with me to my study, we won't be disturbed there." He nodded and followed his father into the room.
In the study, Yami took a seat in his favorite armchair, because he always owned it as a little boy. Mr. Samuki closed the door behind him and looked at his son with serious eyes. "Well, my son, as you know, I have a company to manage and that you will take over one day." "Yes, father. You said that to me before you left." "Please do not interrupt me. Well, about this company To lead you not only need the right training, no, you also have to have a suitable woman by your side. So that you can switch off from the stress that every company brings with it. "" And how can I understand that? can I find the right woman? "
“Don't worry, my son. I've already taken care of that for you.” “Please what?” Yami jumped up from his chair and was slightly angry. "Calm down, please. And let me tell you more. As you know, I want to expand our company with Mr. Zuki's company." Yami had no good idea. "To make this merger of our two companies perfect, Mr. Zuki and I decided that you, my son, will marry Maida Zuki. Maida is perfect for you. She also comes from a good family and has manners. The best thing is she loves you over Everything and sure too. Oh why do I ask, of course you love her too. "" But ... "" No buts. This decision is made. It will be announced at your 20th birthday party. "Yami was almost breathless. He didn't know what to say. Yami didn't want to marry Maida, but wanted to speak out against his father. No, he couldn't. "Oh and one more thing. Always remember the motto I taught you." "The company's wellbeing takes precedence over personal feelings. I know father." "Good. You can go."
Yami left his father's study completely disappointed and with his head drooping. He holed up in his room for the rest of the evening.


By now it was already dark and Tea and Samantha were still sitting in the park. After a long silence, Tea began to tell what was bothering her:"It was a long time ago, but the pain is still deep in my bones. I used to have a good-looking boyfriend and best friend in Tokyo with whom I went through thick and thin. In that sense, a perfect teenage life. But after a few Time I noticed that my girlfriend was changing. I asked her what was going on. But she always waved it off and assured me that everything was okay. After a certain time I gave it up and still had the strange feeling that something wasn't there Right. One day I met my boyfriend again and I told him everything that was going through my head. At that moment he looked at me and broke up with me with a serious expression. I was shocked and I talked around Head and collar. He said he had fallen in love with someone else. After a long back and forth, he said that it was "MY BEST FRIEND". At that moment, a world collapsed for me. Also family was nothing me as it used to be. My father ran off with his assistant and just left me and my mum alone. I withdrew more and more. At that moment I vowed not to fall for a guy anymore. So now you know everything. Satisfied?"
"But Tea, I didn't know that. Come here."
Samantha stretched out her arms to comfort Tea. Tea was only too happy to accept the gesture. Somehow she was also happy to finally get it all off the ground. Tea started crying in the embrace. "That's good Tea. Let it all out. I'm here for you."
But Tea still depressed something, she sobbed at her friend and said that she has such strange feelings when Yami is present. Samantha got big eyes and started smiling. Because she already thought something like that. Tea just raised an eyebrow at the sight. "These" strange "feelings, as you call them, is LOVE. Sweet." "No, that can't be?" "Yes. You're in love with Yami. I'm so happy for you." Tea tore herself out of the embrace and got up and started screaming. "I don't want that. I don't want these feelings." Then Samantha got up and put her hand on Tea's shoulder. "Let her sweetie and I will help you with this thing. I am your personal MESSENGER OF LOVE." "Do you really think that I should open my heart for it again?" "Yes, of course. There is nothing better than being in love "" Okay. I'll try. "" I want to hear that. "" Thanks Sami. "" No cause. And now let's go home. "" Yes! "
Relieved and with renewed courage, both left the park.


Yami was still curled up in the corner. At that moment Trude came into the room and saw him crouching in the corner. She walked up to him and put her hand on his shoulder. Yami noticed this and saw a worried Trude crouching in front of her. “What's going on, Yami?” “Oh nothing.” “You know, you can tell me everything.” Sighing, he said: “My father wants me to marry Maida so that the merger of the companies is perfect."" And then why such a long face? "" The reason is easy to say. I don't love Maida. But… "he stopped and turned away. But Trude didn’t let up. She wanted to know what was on his mind so much and went on boring." But? "Yami opened his eyes, but didn't look at Trude." Instead, someone else. "" And who, if I may ask? "
At that moment Yami began to smile. Suddenly he saw her face again. "Well. Who is it now?" "It's Tea Gardner. She hasn't been in town long, but she stole my heart in that short time." Trude jumped up and did a joyous dance. But then the marriage shot into her head. "A ..." "Yes Trude. My father plans to announce the engagement on my 20th birthday." Yami sighed and buried his head between his hands. Trude tapped the corner of her mouth with her index finger and suddenly a great idea occurred to her. She was sure that the plan couldn't go wrong. “You know what, Yami.” Yami lifted his head out of his hands and looked at Trude with a sad face. "What?" he answered. "I'll help you to be happy." "But how? I don't even know if she loves me too and you surely know that my father would never allow that." "Yes, yes. I already have a great and surefire plan . " grinning and rubbing hands, Trude looked at Yami and left the room. //Well that can really become something. // Yami thought to himself and he decided not to think about what Trude had come up with and went to sleep with sad hearts.
