"You
are
now,
man
and
wife.
Mr.
Chiba,
you
may
now
kiss
the
bride"
the
priest
said
and
it
felt
like
the
whole
universe
cheered.
Darien
smiles
at
me
so
lovingly.
I
smile
back
with
guilt.
My
wedding
day,
but
my
heart
and
mind
are
far
away.
"I
knew
this
day
would
happened
sooner
or
later!"
my
wonderful
childhood
friend
Molly
hugged
me,
crushing
the
flowers
we
are
both
holding.
"You
and
Darien
are
just
perfect!
It's
fate
I
tell
you!"
I
held
back
my
tears.
I
have
only
about
five
years
left
to
spend
with
her
till
I
have
to
leave
her.
She
can't
see
how
Darien,
the
other
scouts
and
I
haven't
age.
I
threw
my
bonnet
to
the
five
bridesmaids.
Ami
reached
for
it
but
stood
there
quietly.
Lita,
the
tallest,
made
herself
even
taller.
Mina
looks
like
she'll
kill
anyone
who
goes
near
it
and
I
did
my
best
to
keep
it
from
Rei.
The
bonnet
gracefully
landed
in
Molly's
arms
as
if
it
belongs
there.
Mina
looks
like
she
wants
to
rip
it
from
Molly's
hand.
Molly
blushed
and
smiled
at
Melvin.
They
were
in love
since
the
beginning,
true
love...
I
felt
a
twist
in
my
chest.
Why
am
I
jealous? I
am
marrying
the
man
of
my
dreams...
"Darien,
stop
honey.
You
already
had
too
much
to
drink"
I
said
and
took
away
the
drink
he
poured
himself
again.
He
smiled
at
me
and
his
eyes
wouldn't
focus.
I
suddenly
felt
sad...
And
old.
Though
I
am
only
24
years
old
I
felt
like
I've
lived
a
long
time...
"Our
honey
moon!
Come
on
Meatball
head,
I'll
carry
you
to
our
bedro-"
before
he
finished,
he
fell
face
flat
on
the
floor
on
the
grand
hotel.
I
sighed.
Looks
like
the
bride
will
have
to
carry
the
groom
to
the
bedroom.
So
my
wedding
night
was
just
sleeping
next
to
a
drunk
man
who
passed
out.
I
look
at
this
man.
He
is
my
childhood
lover
and
now
we
are
married
just
as
we
were
destined
to
be.
But
this
doesn't
make
me
happy.
I
fell
asleep
dreaming
of
that
magical
night
when
HE
made
me
a
woman.
I
woke
up
staring
at
Darien's
grinning
face.
"Wow"
he
said.
His
eyes
traveled
down
my
body
making
me
feel
uncomfortable.
I
frowned
at
him.
"It
must
have
been
great
huh
meatball
head?
Gosh.
You
can
really
wore
a
guy
out!
To
think!
It
was
only
your
first
time!"
I
look
at
him
dumbly.
He
stopped
laughing
and
smiles
at
me
warmly.
"Even
though
I
don't
remember
a
thing,
I
knew
it
was
good"
Oh
moon
goddess!
Did
he
think
we
already
sealed
our
marriage?
I
could
feel
the
anger
threatening
to
explode.
Should
I
shout
out
the
truth
that
he
passed
out
yesterday?
I
kept
my
mouth
shut.
"Yes
it
was
great"
I
said
simply.
He
looks
at
me
concerned.
"I
didn't
hurt
you
too
badly
right?
I
heard
how
it
hurts
for
the
girl
on
their
first
time"
"I'm
a
bit
sore
down
there
and
yes,
it
did
hurt
but
I'll
get
over
it"
I
said
remembering
the
feeling
of
my
first
time.
"Hey..."
he
looks
at
bed
sheets.
"It's
clean...
How-"
"You
fell
asleep
quickly
but
I
didn't
think
the
thought
of
sleeping
in
our
um..
You
know...
And
my
blood
so
I
changed
the
sheet"
I
said
quickly.
He
nodded
and
smiled.
He
kissed
me
and
drew
me
closer
to
him.
"I
love
you"
he
whispered.
I
cried.
Darien
took
my
tears
for
happiness.
How
wrong
was
he...
I
wish
I
love
him
more.
I
wish
I
could
stop
thinking
of
someone
else.
Oh
how
I
wish
for
so
many
things...

Molly
got
married
three
years
after
mine.
She
had
it
at
a
small
church
with
me
as
her
best
bridesmaids
and
Darien
as
her
best
man.
I've
never
seen
her
look
so
beautiful
as
she
did
dress
in
white
walking
down
the
ale.
And
Melvin,
without
those
crazy
glasses
he
does
look
handsome.
As
the
minister
read
from
the
bible,
I
noticed
Molly's
smile
turned
suddenly
soft
and
innocent.
Her
eyes
slowly
went
out
of
focus
on
Melvin's
face
and
she
looks
like
she
thinking
of
something,
or
someone,
from
long
ago.
"Meatball
head
I'm
home!"
Darien
cried
from
the
living
room.
I
wiped
my
hands
and
quickly
cleaned
off
the
mess
I
made
trying
to
cook
our
dinner.
It
took
eight
hours
but
I
managed
on
the
6th
try
not
to
burn
the
roast
beef
and
manage
not
to
make
the
mash
potatoes
bitter.
It
looked
beautiful
and
I
was
very
proud
of
myself
for
when
I
was
a
teenager
I
couldn't
even
boil
water.
Darien
would
be
so
proud-
"Oh
and
meatball
head?
You
can
some
out
of
the
kitchen
and
leave
the
mess!
I
know
you
can't
cook!"
I
heard
him
put
something
down.
"So
I
ordered
Chinese
food!"
I
try
not
be
angry.
So
I
threw
what
I
made
in
the
trash.
I
just
wish
Darien
would
have
more
faith
in
me.
"Hey
Meatball
head!"
he
cried
while
setting
up
the
table.
That
nickname
is
really
starting
to
bug
me.
"I've
already
bought
a
house
in
South
Africa
for
us
and
we
can
stay
here
for
another
two
years
than
it's
goodbye
till
the
next
millennium
till
we
are
King
and
Queen.
Oh
and
Molly
left
a
message
for
you!"
"Molly?
Did
you
wanted
to
see
me?"
I
said.
As
soon
as
I
got
her
message
I
went
to
her
apartment
as
soon
as
I
could.
Perhaps
something
happened
on
her
marriage
night.
Maybe
Melvin
wasn't
so
gentle
or-
"Oh
Serena!"
Molly
threw
her
arms
around
me
and
bawled.
She
sobbed
till
she
shook.
"Shh
it's
ok"
I
assured
her.
"What's
wrong?
Is
everything
ok?
Is
Melvin
here?"
"N-
No"
Molly
pealed
herself
off
me
and
sat
on
the
sofa.
I
sat
next
to
her
handing
her
a
tissue.
"He
went
to
work.
Oh
God
Serena...
You
are
the
only
person
I
felt
I
could
tell
this
to
but...
You
will
be
the
last
person
on
earth
to
understand!"
"Try
me"
I
said
calmly.
She
took
a
deep
breath.
"Last
night,
on
our
wedding
day...
Oh
Serena!
I
am
in
love
with
Melvin!
Really
I
am!
I
was
so
happy
to
be
married
to
him
and
I
am
willing
to
spend
the
rest
of
my
life
by
his
side.
But...
On
our
wedding
night...
When
we
lay
under
the
covers
and
he
touched
me..."
her
eyes
got
misty
and
tears
threatened
to
fall.
"My
mind
was
on..."
I
held
my
breath
and
lend
forward
just
in
time
to
heat
her
whisper,
"Him"
"Nephrite"
I
said
dully.
Oh
Molly,
if
you
only
knew
how
much
I
do
understand.
"Oh
Serena!
Was
it
wicked
of
me?
To
think
of
another
man
in
the
arms
of
my
husband?"
her
eyes
plead
for
me
to
tell
her
everything
is
alright,
which
I
did.
"I
know
nothing
will
bring
him
back!
And
I
know
I
am
wishing
for
the
impossible
but....
Oh
God
Serena!
I
pretended
I
was
with
HIM
on
my
wedding
night!
Oh
Melvin...
I
don't
deserve
him..."
she
sobbed
once
again
and
I
could
feel
my
own
eyes
tearing
up.
Why
did
she
made
me
remember?
With
my
body
feeling
numb
I
said
his
name
after
10
years.
"Vegeta..."
