        It was weekend and Chiwa decided to have some free time for herself. She woke up as usual and made breakfast for herself and Hokuto. Once she finished making the breakfast, she realised that Hokuto was not at home since yesterday. She gently knocked her head.

“I’ll just put them in the refrigerator,” she said.

        Lately, Hokuto did not came back home. He was very busy with his work and Chiwa herself seldom met him in the office. He would always move from one place to another for meetings.

“Chiwa, are you listening?” asked Hana.

They were going out for shopping with Aya and Jun.

“Ah, I’m sorry. What is it?”

“Mo~ what happen to you today? I say why don’t we go for a vacation?”

“Vacation?”

“Yes.”

“That sounds nice but I’ll pass this time.”

“Heh? Why?” Jun asked.

“You will never get a man if you are like this you know,” Aya said.

“I don’t need one anymore,” the girl replied.

        Her friends were shocked listening to her answer. The reason was that she had enough vacation during her honeymoon. She looked around and saw Kaname. He was talking with someone when he as well saw her and waved at her. She waved back.

“Isn’t that Kaname-kun?” asked Aya.

Chiwa nodded. Kaname walked toward them.

“What a surprise to meet you here,” he said.

Aya and Hana stared at him.

“What a handsome guy~,” they said.

Everyone chuckled.

“Chiwa, we have to go first. There’s something we have to do,” Hana said and the three of them quickly walked away.

Chiwa sighed.

“It was you guys who wanted to go out and yet leaving me behind,” she mumbled.

“Then, would you like to go out with me instead? Besides, I have some free time. That if you don’t mind at all,” Kaname suggested.

At last, the girl went out with him.

“The other day you suddenly went off during the show and Mrs. Souma told me that you are rushing to see someone who is really important. From the way I see it, that person must be your beloved,” Kaname said.

Chiwa slowly nodded.

“But he’s not someone I can called my beloved,” she mumbled as she blushed.

Kaname chuckled. They walked around the place together.

“Does your man always bring you out?” he asked her out of sudden when the two went to have a drink at the restaurant.

Chiwa almost burst her tea.

“Well, he is a very busy person so he,” the girl answered half way when she recalled back about her life with Hokuto.

        Of course they never went out together since both were just husband and wife on paper. Hokuto was the president of the company where she worked and thanks to his mother, who was a closed friend of her mother, the debts were all settled. When a question asked where feelings involved, she had no idea how to answer. Kaname was waiting for her answer.

“Ahaha~ he is very busy so he never has the chance to bring me out.”

“What kind of man is he?”

“He’s a… he’s a man who is mysterious. He would always leave me speechless and at the same time making me confused.”
Chiwa was smiling that she herself did not realised it.

“You must be really in love with him,” said Kaname.

Chiwa looked at him. He smiled.

“Way back, I hardly saw that smile of yours. He’s a lucky guy after all, to have you by his side,” he said.

        It was an awkward conversation but she had a great time with him. When she went back home, it was already night. As she opened the door, the light was on and from there she knew that Hokuto was home. However, she was in shock when she saw him lying on the floor.

“President!” Chiwa called.

He was sweating and could hardly breathe. She touched his forehead. It was burning. The girl became panic.

“Let’s bring you to your room first,” she said.

The guy was indeed heavy but she must get him to his bed and changed his clothes.

“Why do I have to do this?” she mumbled as she shut her eyes while changing the guy’s clothes.

“I’m calling the doctor,” she said but Hokuto grabbed her hand.

“D-don’t,” he mumbled.

“But your fever is really high.”

“It will be fine.”

Annoyed, Chiwa sat beside the bed and cupped his face.

“How are you going to take care of yourself in this condition? It will not be fine if you don’t let the doctor to check you. You look really terrible now. This time, please listen to me,” she told him.

        Hokuto’s eyes got bigger. He was surprised to see her action. He later sighed and let her called Doctor Matsuda, the family’s private doctor. In few minutes, the doctor came and examined him.

“He really had himself worn out. What have you done to yourself, Hokuto?” said Doctor Matsuda.

“Is he going to be alright? Does he need to take medicine?”

Doctor Matsuda turned around to face Chiwa. The girl’s worried expression made the doctor smiled.

“What he needs right now is a full rest. He needs to eat something as well to revive his energy. If possible, don’t let him go to work tomorrow. Make sure this guy doesn't overwork himself again. Can you do that?”

Chiwa nodded. After giving her a few more descriptions, Doctor Matsuda left.

“She is indeed perfect for him,” he mumbled as he walked to his car.

        Chiwa quickly made some food for Hokuto and made sure he ate them. However, the president was a stubborn person. He refused to eat.

“If you’re not eating, I’m not going to let you go to work tomorrow until your fever is down. You got that, Mr. President?” she warned him and left the room.

        Chiwa sighed as she closed the door. After taking a shower, she went back to check up on him. Slowly, she opened the door and found that the plate and bowl were empty. She smiled while kneeling beside the bed looking at Hokuto who was soundly asleep. Soon, she herself fell asleep. The next morning, when she woke up, she found herself was on the bed. In front of her was the president. He was still sleeping and his arms were around her that made her felt his warmth. Chiwa was surprised.

“What happened?” she whispered.

        She tried to move but her so-called husband set his arms firmly around her. Chiwa stared at him. She never knew that this guy had a fair and perfect complexion. As she kept on staring at him, the eyes were opened and they made contact with hers. It was a beautiful pair of eyes that Chiwa was being hypnotised by them. When she realised, her face turned red.

“G-go-good morning. How’s your fever?” she asked.

Hokuto was still staring at her and one of his hands took hers and put it on his forehead. It was not burning like before.

“I’m glad that it went down,” Chiwa said as she let out a soft sigh of relief.

She smiled. Suddenly, Hokuto pulled her even closer to him.

“P-president,” she called when she was surprised by him.

“Thank you,” Shuei said.

Chiwa stopped struggling. There was a long paused from the guy.

“I’m sorry if I make you worried the whole night but I really appreciate for what you have done.”

“I was worried. Dr. Matsuda said you must not work over your limit. Therefore, please, don’t overwork yourself. Well, I don’t mean to ask you to become lazy,” she said as her voice slowly toned down when she said the last word.

        Hokuto chuckled as he adjusted his arms around Chiwa. He promised her on that as well.
