25 CHAPTER 25 : Hinata Akihira

Everyone in the room starts to back to their original position and Touma personally asks Takio to a private moment with Kahina. Even though he was reluctant to give him the permission but he is giving up after Takio saw Touma begging eyes. Takio orders every person to leave the room, leaving Touma sat beside Kahina.

When the last person was leaving the room, Touma looks at Kahina with a soft gaze.

"Today I bring you daisies. Isn't it beautiful?" He grabs a vase with roses on her bedside and walks to the bathroom. He was sure this was the roses he brought yesterday. He pulled it out and throws in the dustbin and replaces it with daisies. After that, he is positioning it back beside her.

"The roses smell nice but daisies smell nothing. Can you wake up and tell me why?" he pulls his chair to her. He inched his face to her.

"Don't you want to tell me you love me today?" he grabs Kahina's hand and strokes it gently.

"You should tell me or I might forget about you." he let a bitter laugh out.

"Is it hurt? I promise the person responsible for this will pay and it will be a thousand times worse than what you feel now," a murderous aura emitting from him a moment.

"Kahina, please wake up. I really miss you." he finally admitted it out loud but of course he dares because no one was there but himself and Kahina only. If not, all his rants just now will never be heard by anyone. Still did not hear by anyone. His ego is too big to let people see his soft side. He glances at the watch on his wrist, it is only ten minutes just past but he doesn't want to leave yet neither rants some more.

Touma pulls out his phone and opens an app and bought a book; the exact same book Kahina been reading this past week. A romance book but is a bit different with an interesting plot.

It is about a young man who falls for a noble girl but his marriage proposal was refused due to his status. He then promised himself to work hard and prove to the family he is worth as much as noble blood. A decade later, he is back to propose again only to finds out the young girl was dead. He once again hearts broken. All his hard work was nothing. When he was in his mourning, a friend of the young girl gave him a box of the letter. It was the letter she wrote for a decade to him, confessing her love and told him everything that happens to her. In the letter, she told him about her dreams to explore the world, meet new people and experience new thing. She wishes he will fulfil her dream for her. Then the young man starts to mend his broken heart by fulfilling every dream she had. The story is sweet and sad but satisfying enough to make Touma understands the power of love can do to people.

"Why did you read a really heart-wrenching story? Forever he would never able to be with her? Isn't it unfair to both of them?" he sighs.

"This is why you have been laughing and crying every night huh? Silly girl!" he scoffed. He looks at his watch again and realizes it is been an hour.

"I will come again tomorrow. I expect you to greet me with a smile tomorrow, do you understand, woman?" he whispered to Kahina's ear before walk out from the room.

******************************************************************

The Lexus LS500 with majestic shining black metallic greet him in the hospital front door. Touma specifically selects this car and modified it to his liking. The body is designed with the bulletproof from the light material to ensure his performance and aerodynamic feature remain the top of its class. The glass was high quality military bulletproof. Everything must be bulletproof for his own safety. He will never know when the enemies will strike and it never hurts to be prepared too.

He sat comfortably on the backseat enjoying the scenery of spring. The mix colour of flowers and tree draws the serene and relaxing feeling. He lost in the captivating beauty represented in front of him. Suddenly, he back to reality by the sound of a notification from his mobile. It was an invite to a private chat room. He instantly accepted the invitation.

555378: [Report ready]

001100: [What do you have?]

555378: [Already email the details.]

001100: [Any particular highlight?]

555378: [Alert on his girlfriend]

001100: [Why?]

555378: [Email details will explain]

The chat room screen vanished. He opened his email and read Oata details. Most of the details he knows except the details on Oata's girlfriend.

Name: Fanna Daiki (present) / Hinata Akihira [former]

Age: 26

Occupation: Professional Photographer

Details: Information concealed [Third level clearance]. Refer second encrypted email.

Touma was so shocked when he saw the word 'Akihira'. That name once was the spark of a riot in Yakuza world a decade before. He remembered each detail of what happened until the moment of his mother's death. Akihira is a whistleblower. His betrayal causes the death of former Head on Anzo Family. Anzo family track him and all his family but he was protected by the government and it makes it harder for them.After some time, they finally able to tracked Akihira and he was killed together with his family. Leave no survivor behind including kids. So do they think. 'Does Oata's woman is the survivor from Akihira family?' This is an unacceptable coincidence.

He swiftly opens the second email. The second email confirms his suspicion. His face drops darken refused to digest all the information in front of him. Oata's must be unaware of these matters. He is so in love with her and from the way Touma see it, she is also deeply in love with Oata. The couple was like a match from heaven, equally beautiful and perfect. He was speechless. Heaven is unfair with their fates. Now, he needs to be on alert even to his own loyal cousin. He needs to figure out the plan to protect Oata.

"Ando, let someone tailing Fanna Daiki. I want her on surveillance 24/7." Ando was confused for a while because Touma never involved himself in Oata's matter but he nods eventually.
