AUTHOR'S notes:-

Hello guys and girls. First forgive my absence… my sincere apologies to all the authors whose stories I didn't review all this while…This is my second fanfic but I still don't have any story writing experience. So please be liberal on me… Thanks and do drop in an "improvement suggestion" review…

THANK YOU…

FOREVER IN LOVE-I

Begins here…

Warm sunshine is making its way from the slits in the branches of the majestic cherry blossom tree standing in its place for, I guess, about 1000 years. I mean it has been here since my birth until today when I am ahem! Almost seventy, yes seventy. Today is 25th of December and it is my 71st birthday. The cherry blossom tree is in its perpetual flowering season with lots of snowflakes all over its beautiful pink flowers and hard brown branches.

Its has been many years since I am on this earth now haven't it? Still I don't wish to die for I have one very lovely reason to live. And that reason is what you ask? I think you should ask who and where my reason is…

Well my reason to live is… is Miyu Yuu Kouzuki! To be precise it is Miyu Kanata Saionji… And right now, I am lying down on the frigid ground with my head on her lap and my back aching like freaking hell…

She is still beautiful to me even though her golden yellow hairs have now whitened and even reduced in number, her face and body is not so full of wrinkles like women of her age but it's not like I care. Maybe its because of her sweet happy-go-lucky attitude. She is still beautiful than life itself. She is the very reason I began living again…

A lot of thing happened after Ruu and Wanya left for planet Otto when we both were just 14. Just too many. It began with me feverishly stuttering and confessing my undying love to Miyu just before she was leaving for America forever but to my great surprise, she instead of slapping me, like I expected, threw her luggage and hugged me and then gave me a soft kiss on my lips. It felt like eternity…

Then with a heavy heart, I bade her goodbye and she in return promised to come back to me. Yaa she said that and came back too. Then we both dated for 4 years and got married when I was 25 and she was 24. Yes, we got married that young.

I don't want to remember how I proposed Miyu and asked her to be mine because it was way too embarrassing. It has actually become the best joke among the group of our crazy friends. They called it "TYPICAL MIYU AND KANATA"… C'mon we aren't typical but then it surely was embarrassing…

We were young people madly in love so life seemed very much like a fairy-tale in which I was a prince and she was my princess. Just the two of us. I thought this is all life is about but then Miu came, proving me fatally wrong…

Yaa, Miu, Miu Kanata Saionji, my one and only daughter, who is now married to another guy. Man I knew the day of her marriage why Miyu's dad was so emotional and touchy while giving Miyu away. I just felt like strangling my son-in-law and then cut him into millions of pieces but I didn't do anything to him and surprisingly I am still in good terms with him, just for the sake of my daughter's happiness. By the way, both of them have blessed us with a nice grandson who obviously has become a very fine young man now…

He is very attached to Miyu, who wouldn't be. She's got that motherly attitude anyway. She has been a perfect life partner, which I never even dreamed of having by my side this long considering my stoic, unresponsive, non-romantic and rude attitude. But she still she tolerated all my tranquilities.

Well I too tolerated her clumsiness, her bad cooking which I have accustomed to by now and her emotional attacks too. But who cares right?

I don't know how Miyu tolerates a buffer like me but then that's her problem. I have retired from my work as among the most distinguished and prosperous entrepreneurs of the world. My business is now well looked after by my son-in-law.

This dreading the past every time happens when this stupid keeps her loud mouth shut. Looking up I find her eyes closed and she is softly breathing the fresh morning air, probably sleeping; she's old after all though doesn't look like a real old hag…

Well Ruu and Wanya never really came back forever. They came, stayed for a month or two and left. Even today Miyu and I hope to once again see them but crossing so many light-years isn't a joke RIGHT?

Anyway Miyu has been my partner through thick and thin. She remained true to her wedding vows, which we exchanged 45 years ago. Not that I didn't but she did it better than me, way better.

Once upon a time, I treated her like dust, I thought she is the dumbest human ever but then gradually discovered that behind her nosy-clumsy-dumb attitude, there was a heart that was so full and goodness and was so damn pure…

I never in my wildest dreams imagined graying and withering in her company. But I am, and I am happy that I am. Despite being so old we kiss each other a lot and every time she nears me, my heart starts beating so fast that I am always surprised because I have never ended up with a heart attack when her lips touch mine.

Miyu is the greatest. She is my wife, my better half, my guide, my philosopher, my hope for life, my worst enemy but above all my best and true friend. And I am very glad she is with me and loves me as much as when she did when we were 14…

Man old age can really be a pain, a great pain. Despite lying down in your wife's soft lap, your body aches like hell and I guess Miyu guessed what is in my mind for she just now spoke in her sweet angelic voice, "Hey Kanata! Done with licking the past or want to continue? If you want to then go ahead but then don't you DARE complain about your body aching… "

Yaa this is what I call sweet angelic voice. I am in no mood to retort, much to her amusement, I mean her face shows it. I quietly stand up from her lap, brush off some snow and with great difficulty stand up and assist her up. After that, I start walking to the temple in a placid, slow manner just so that she can catch up…

Actually, I am old too. I have white hairs, lessened in number, my skin is in the similar state as hers but I give it a damn because my wife just doesn't mind. Infact when I had my first white hair shining like a freshly cut diamond amongst my once brunette hairs, she was so glad, I don't know why.

We both have by now reached the temple kitchen. While I am reading the newspaper, she has preferred the company of her phone, probably chatting to Miu. Who knows…?

Man she has changed me like hell. I mean I smile a lot now, I can tolerate socializing, and above all, I have found hopes in this world, which I once proclaimed hopeless, selfish and all dark. Her smile and positive attitude taught me this. She got me thinking that the glass is half-full and not half empty. I owe it to her. I really do…

I am dead tired so I pronounce loudly that I am going to sleep. She just nods her head not caring even the least because she is on PHONE.

I surprisingly now believe a lot in god, once again thank you Miyu.

I have always hated DARKNESS, but just this once I am letting darkness descend upon me; just this once because I know, when I'll wake up, she'll be there either cuddled into me or around me somewhere or glued to that PHONE with that perpetual smile of her which will at once signify the rising of sun in my once darkness infested soul… That is exactly why I am and will be FOREVER IN LOVE with this angel called Miyu, my Miyu; only mine that too for eternity…

AUTHOR'S notes:

How was this one? Well the Miyu centric is still left to be worked upon… I'll try to update the soonest possible time…

I hope freaking old Kanata and Miyu appeal to you readers, I mean just for a change… I'll try to update soon…

An advance THANK YOU to all those who read, or review or both this story…

Do drop in a review for my this little effort too…

Thought of the day

*** Value the feelings of those people,

Who have touched your heart.

Because you'll never know-

When they'll just walk out of your life

And NEVER COME BACK…***
