42 Hanami
He must have traveled here all night seeing him peacefully sleeping after they made love.
She studied his beautiful face before she went to the bathroom for a quick shower. Not forgetting to draw the curtains down so that the sun wouldn't disturb his tranquil.
His frustration showed on the bruises he left on her body. She knew he had been careful, though he must have been really angry he cannot control it. They made love, only fiercer this time.
She allowed him to possess her, she gave him her all.
She doesn't know what happened outside, but she knew he found out. She expect him to be fuming in anger if he showed himself unscathed.
Not wanting to see the marks on her body any longer, she made short of her bath and came down to the kitchen to prepare food.
Only when she was done cooking that she noticed she prepared a full course Japanese meal. She must have been missing Kyoto a lot. By this time, Sakura [1] would be in full bloom, and she would have made a trip to the Haradani-en Garden [2].
It is a little difficult for the commoners to access it by public transportation, and since the cherry blossoms are late blooming, she preferred to go there at this time.
If she could plant Sakura in this place, it will be perfect. But she can't use her magic here at all. She decided to bring her meal at the garden where she slept last night. Too bad, there's no Sake [3] in this house.
She could use a little liquor to temporarily forget her pain.
"Care to invite me?"
Kristine was startled as she did not expect for him to wake up early. She immediately gestured him to take a seat and brought the rest of the meal from the kitchen. He must have slept at three hours the most.
When she came back though, the garden transformed into a cherry blossom garden. She was left in awe. The pink flowers are in full bloom as if she was transported to the Haradani-en Garden in April.
"It's too early to have sake." He shrugged.
This, it's so sweet. Am I to die tonight?
"Douzo [4]." He pulled her chair and she sat obediently. They ate in silence.
Her thoughts wander as she ate. It would really have been perfect. If there was no other motive when she approached him then. She wouldn't mind being imprisoned here at all. However now, she can feel how lonely is it to be here, her heart uncertain and unsafe.
But what else can she do? She have chosen this path. She can't even ask him what happened outside, much more ask about her father and sisters.
"I thought I've prohibited you from thinking of anything else when you're with me?"
She look up surprise and confusion crossing her face. In a second, fear replaced them as she saw the contempt in his eyes. She lowered her head again as she apologized.
She cannot continue to eat anymore. And clearly he lost his appetite as well. Karl stand abruptly almost knocking the chair behind him.
"Forget the outside world. You will never see it again. Much more your lover!" With that he turned around and left her.
Lover?! Whose lover? Did he mean the Karl on their first day? Will he be mean to her from now on?
'I deserve that I guess. I wasn't kind so why must he?'
But he said I won't see the outside world again. She look at the Sakura trees blossoming beautifully around her. Tears streak down her face. As she try to convince herself it doesn't matter. She's with him. As painful as it is, to be with him is what she wanted.

Note:
[1] Sakura - Cherry blossoms
[2] Haradani-en is an excellent spot to enjoy large numbers of later blooming weeping cherry trees. The pleasant garden is located in the northern outskirts of Kyoto in the hills above Kinkakuji Temple. It is a little bit difficult to reach by public transportation by the infrequent city bus number M1 from Kitaoji Station, Kinkakuji-michi or Ritsumeikan University. Alternatively, many visitors access the garden by taxi.
[3] Sake - Japanese rice wine
[4] Douzo - Please
