This is where I put the disclaimer, right? Well, here it is.

Disclaimer: Zumaka does not own Harvest Moon or any of it's characters.

Please keep in mind that this is my first story. Ever. So if it sucks, feel free to tell me.

When I started this farm, I met Popuri. She was cute, perky, and ,well, pink. A guys dream girl. She had a job, she was part owner of the flower store. She earned enough money on her own. I courted her for a while. All she needed was flowers. But then,

I met Maria.

She was quiet, shy, and a librarian. Not perfect, but I liked her. She was deeper than Popuri, somehow. She needed something more than flowers. Something more...

I was comepletly devoted to her. Everyday, I would go and bring her stuff. She seemed to appreciate all that I brought her. Everyday, I would hope to be fast enough to bring her more gifts. To show my devotion...

She would write me a letter every now and then. About how the library was closing for a while. About everything. The letters came more often. Why was she writing to me?

Everybody said she hated dogs. That they scared her. But she loved my dog.

The simple tradition of proposing. I could barely afford it, but I checked every day for the blue feather. To make her mine...

You might think I married her because she was the mayor's daughter. To maybe get some of his power and influence. Or maybe for the money. I didn't.

I have and will spend the rest of my days with her. Everyday, waking up to her beside me. To our baby in his crib. Everyday, I see my animals, happier than they ever were when Maria wasn't around. Everyday, she tries to pick weeds, or gather eggs. She shouldn't do that. It's my farm, I should take care of it.
But she wants to. And what Maria wants, Maria gets.

I will spend the rest of my life with her.

But, I somehow feel sory for Popuri. She doesn't even have a boyfriend. I just dumped her. Just left her. Without saying goodbye.

Does she think that somehow, someday, I will come back to her? Does she even know I'm married? I know I love Maria, but...

Did I make the right choice?
