"Yes . " The cop shows me the black sentence . "You didn"t read this when you signed this?"
I didn"t read any of this . I try to read the words . Ah! Am I an illiterate? Why can"t I read it properly? I can"t even p.r.o.nounce these words .
"What is this language?"
"Miss, did you go to school?" He asks me doubtfully . "It is the same language that you are speaking . I agree that these words are tough and formal . You need a good lawyer to tackle this . "
" . . . "
I stare at Kamiyama Kiyohira . He doesn"t have any expression . But, in his eyes, I can see that he is complacent about it . Do you feel happy to fool a high school graduate? I turn to the cop .
"Is prison a bad place to live?"
"Miss, it is better if you agree with them . " He rereads the papers .

"You will get a rebuilt house with the best material . You will get a high paying job with promised promotions in every three years . You will also get free holiday trips until you retire . Kamiyama family is also taking responsibility for your wedding, your future"s children educations and jobs, and they will even help you find a groom if you want them too . "
"This is slavery . " I grab my head . "This is what h.e.l.l feels like . "
"Miss, life is not good in prison . " The cop gives me back the papers . "You will get a lifetime record . You will lose this house to the Kamiyama groups . You will never get hired at any place for the rest of your life . That is the true h.e.l.l . "
Prison or h.e.l.l? Prison or h.e.l.l? Prison or h.e.l.l?
"h.e.l.l, it is . " I pick up my laptop and hug it . "I will do what they want . I don"t want to go to prison . "
"Good choice . " The cop smiles at me . "We are happy to resolve misunderstandings . "
After the cops leave, Kiyohira turns to look at me . "Let"s go . "
"Where?" I really have no energy left . He grabs my arm and drags me along with him . He opens the car door and pushes me inside . I see them demolis.h.i.+ng my house .

My safe haven . . . is disappearing .
The driver starts the car . I keep my eyes on my house until it disappears from the view . My poor house .
"Until the news dies down, you have to stay at our house and pretend that you are going along with our family . " I hear him say . "You have to dress nicely and act like a sister to my younger brother and a granddaughter to my grandmother . You have to use a clean and polite language . After a while, I will send you to stay at the other place until your house is rebuilt . "
"Huh?" I look at him . "You will let me go back?"
"Yes . " He checks his phone . "You have to go to the work daily on time and work seriously . For other people, our family is seriously taking care of you . So, I hope that you work there diligently . I don"t have many expectations of you . Someone you can"t even read a legal doc.u.ment properly can"t be worth much . "
"Hey, it was really hard," I yell at him . "You deliberately made it hard . "
"Still, you should have studied hard in the high school . " He leans back . "After everything becomes the same way again, you can leave the company and go back to the way you lived before . The Kamiyama family will not have any connection with you . "

I take a deep breath and stares out of the window . Anything is better than nothing right now .

Kiyohira watches her fall asleep with a pleasant smile and drools dripping out from the corners of her lips . He brings out his handkerchief and reaches to wipe away her drools . He stops midway and frowns . What is he doing?
He recalls all the words that she has spoken to him and how she even slapped with that small hand of her . Why is she still alive? He needs her to be alive to amend this situation .
Until this news fades away and everything becomes the way it was, he would let her live . It would be inconvenient if she runs around with that wild mouth of hers .
After it dies down, he will make sure that she takes each word back .
After it dies down, he will make sure that she disappears from this country .
After it dies down, he will make sure . . .
The list is long .
"Kiyo . . . " She mumbles in her sleep . Kiyohira looks at her . Is she dreaming about him?
"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" She cusses in her sleep . "Die! You b.a.s.t.a.r.d . "
Kiyohira grabs her shoulder and tries to jerk her awake .
"Waaaa . " She lifts her head . Strands of her hair fall on her face with patches of dried drools on her chin .
"Who are you?"
He flicks her forehead . "Who I am?"
"You are that Kamiyama"s b.a.s.t.a.r.d . "
