Chapter 22: Further discussions. season 1 (finale)
"I....I always knew that it was a business deal but still,I fell in love with Haruto after graduation. It...it was by mistake,but still, I loved him." Said Suzume.
"Wait,why did this deal happen!? You told me that your father loved you a lot,so why did this deal even happen!?" Asked Akihito. "Oh,I forgot that you didn't know about this. Ok then,let me tell you the story of me and Haruto.
So,as you know,I am the only child of my parents. My mother always wanted a boy,she never really wanted a girl because of some personal reasons. When I was born,my mother was disappointed,she was sad to see that I was not a boy but a girl.
So,she decided to approach Haruto's family for my marriage. She wanted Haruto to marry me. She thought that he was the best for me because he was rich,had a family business and good relations with my father.
My father and Haruto's dad were childhood friends,they were besties. I always adored Haruto's father since I thought that he was a good person,but I never knew that he would betray my father like this. This marriage was a business deal because both Haruto and my family's financial health was very good.
Haruto's mother,on the other hand,wanted a decent girl with a good family background. She wanted her son to marry a girl from a rich background. She always treated me sweetly,but after my father's downfall,she didn't even bother to see my face even once.
Both me and Haruto didn't want to get married to eachother but we had to listen to our families since they were our only guardians. I know that both of us didn't want this marriage,but I never cheated on him. I....I tried my best to make him feel happy,but even when he smiled,he looked like he was frustrated and annoyed.
I...I also bullied my bestfriend, Sukuma. I...I had to bully her, because I was forced to! Mom told me that she would hire an assassin to kill my bestie's family! I...I didn't have a choice,I had to bully her.
She...she somehow saw haruto kissing Sukuma. Sukuma was never ever wrong! It was me who was wrong all this time! I came to know about Haruto having a crush on Sukuma.
Sukuma was a new student,she transferred into my school when I was in 8th grade. She didn't know much about Haruto,but I did. Haruto was famous for being a Playboy during our school days. I know that we were pretty young at that time,but still,he was known as a play boy.
Everyone called him a play boy instead of his name, Haruto. He got this name in 6th grade, because he proposed 2 girls at the same time. He only dated girls who were good looking. It made me feel disgusting after seeing the way he behaved.
He acted like he was very innocent but he was NOT at all innocent. I still feel bad for the girls who got dumped by him. He changed his girlfriend every single day! He always impressed every other girl he liked, by showing them his father's photos.
The same happened with Sukuma,but the only difference is,that Sukuma fell in love with Haruto. She didn't want him because of his background,she wanted him because she purely loved him. Having a crush on someone is different than purely loving them.
But,sadly she didn't know the truth and went on with her relationship with Haruto. I somehow got rid of Haruto and thought that I saved Sukuma from him. But then,I saw them yesterday and it made me furious,not because I thought that Haruto cheated on me,but because of what he was doing with Sukuma.
He was literally betraying sukuma!" Said Suzume furiously.
