58 Stop Your Acting Now (1/2)

Prang!

Kenji slipping the glass from his hand and that makes a few guests turn to look at him.

”Honey, are you okay?” Saya immediately supports Kenji's body which suddenly turns weak and trembling a bit.

With a trembling voice, he says ”I wanna…take some air for a bit.” With some energy left, he stands up and leaves the room.

Once Kenji leaves the ballroom, Saya and Erika went to Risa. The closer they got, the scare Risa's face got.

She immediately makes a self-defense act and said with trembling voice.

”I..I..I'm sorry mother. I didn't know wearing my mom's dress is a taboo.” Her eyes start to redden and ask some sympathy.

Saya and Erika startle a moment when everyone's gaze falls to both of them. Saya tries to calm and said with a soft voice.

”Risa-chan, what are you talking about? We're not gonna hit you.”

”M…Mother, I'm sorry. You ask me to find something decent to wear, however, I had no money to find and buy new clothes, that is why I find something old that I can wear. If..if you don't like, then..I..I..should go and change my attire right now..” She put on the act. Being as pitiful as she can and humiliate those two.

”Risa, stop this right now!” Erika grabs her hand, she's a bit impatient with Risa's acting right now.

”Ah!” Risa makes it look like she tries to harm her with a violent. All the guest couldn't believe their eyes that Erika uses violent toward Risa. They start to talk to each other and look at the two of the woman with a disgusted expression.

”What's going on here?” A man voices make all of them turn to the voice's owner.

Akatsuki Shou just arrives with his father and mother. Upon seeing the helpless Risa was grabbed by Erika, he sprints to her and pushes Erika a bit.

Being pushed by him makes her more irritated, but she knows she can do nothing right now. She grits teeth and clenches her fist.

”Babe, are you okay?” He asks with concern.

Risa's eyes were teary a bit. She said with a slow voice. ”It's hurt.”

Shou looks at her hand and hugs her after that before he shot a murderous glare at Erika which is now startling with Shou's appearance.

”Mom, dad, I shall bring my fiance to get treatment right now.” He then turns to look at both of his parents.

Both of them nod their head and his mother went to Risa, caressing her hair gently. ”It's okay dear. We're here.”

She nods her head and tries to smiles. ”Thank you, Auntie”

”Mm...Shou, bring her now.” Akatsuki Sata also adds after his wife went to his side again.

Nod his head, both of them leaving the party.

”Er..Mr. Sata-san, it just a misunderstanding..”

”Madam Saya. I believe you well aware that Risa is my future daughter-in-law, no?” He interjects her before she could finish her sentence. He also didn't call her Mrs. Igarshi, instead, he just calls her using her name.

”Y..yes..” She lowered her head a bit. Feeling ashamed when all the gaze focusing on both of them.

”Then I shall warn you to not make an enemy with me. Where's Kenji-san? I should talk to him too.”

”Urm..” She fidgeting a bit.

”Sata-san, are you looking for me?” Kenji just returns from taking fresh air and he's a bit curious to what happens inside when he was gone.

”Ah, Kenji-san. I think we need to talk.” He turns to look at Kenji and both of him and his wife went to Kenji and follow him leaving Saya and Erika at the center of the hall.

Erika narrowed her eyes and grunting a bit. Without any delay, she leaves the hall and went to her bedroom. Showing her rude attitude toward the guest who coming tonight.

”Erm, I'm sorry about tonight. The party still continues.” Saya had to suppress her embarrassment and keep on smiling to the guest tonight.

….

”Stop your acting now,” Shou said just after both of them get into the car.
