Qwqs

The two of one of two worlds

…

…

…

Chime, chime, chime.

The sound of bells rang from far away, from the place so beautiful that you wouldn't believe in its existence.

Surrounding that place was flowerbeds consist of a lot of beautiful flowers, Daisy, Lilly, Lavender, even Sunflower, and so on. The scenery was something out of this world. If one showed this scenery and said it was a heaven, most people would probably believe it instantly. The beautiful light that shone down through the stained glass window with sacred graffiti in it didn't make it any less impressive either.

Yes, that place was a church.

The divine place where the believers talked with God.

The divine place where the sinners redeemed for their sins.

The divine place to perform holy rituals.

Yes, a holy ritual such as marriage.

This day, this place seemed much more sacred than any other days. The reason probably because, unlike any other days, today there was one holy ritual taken place. One of the most important ritual, marriage.

"Now, you both are in the presence of god. Every word you say has to be the truth, please be mindful."

A voice came; everything in this church seemed sacred, even the voice of the priest was no exception. Plus the fact that the priest's face couldn't be seen because of the dazzling light just made it even more divine.

"Unfortunately, there is no other witness in this sacred ritual, so no one can prove whether this marriage is rightfully deserved or not apart from you two, man of vigor and woman of pure heart."

The priest had stopped to take a breath for a second before continued his speech in solemn voice.

"You are here in god's presence," he reminded them again, "I charge you now, that if either of you know any reason why you may not be married lawfully and in accordance with God's Word, do now confess it before god, or else remain your peace.

"…"

"…"

The bride and the groom remained their silence.

The priest solemnly continued after nodding in acceptance at the silence.

"Tachibana Kanade, will you have this man to be your husband; to live together with him in the covenant of marriage? Will you love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all others, be faithful unto him forever?"

"I will," the bride answered.

"And you, Otonashi Yuzuru, will you have this woman to be your wife; to live together with her in the covenant of marriage? Will you love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all others, be faithful unto her forever?"

"I will," the groom answered.

Nodding in contentment once more, the priest continued.

"Who gives this woman to be married to this man?"

"She gives herself, with the blessing of me," a voice answered. This was not the voice of any of the priest, the bride, or the groom. The sound was like a perfect melody to the ears, it was clear, delicate, sacred, and beautiful. The voice was even more sacred than that of the priest. But strangely yet, no one was there where the voice came.

The priest bowed deeply at the source of the voice before continued.

"Now is the time for you both to exchange the vows. May the groom please faces the bride, takes her right hand and repeats after me…"

The priest paused to turn the next page of the sacred book used for this marriage before continued the ritual while the groom turned to face the bride and took her right hand in his.

"In the name of God, I, Otonashi Yuzuru, take you, Tachibana Kanade, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, forever until this soul will destroyed. This is my eternal vow," the groom repeated after the priest.

After he had finished, he dropped her hand.

"Now the bride, may you please take his right hand and repeat after me..."

The bride did as told.

"In the name of God, I, Tachibana Kanade, take you, Otonashi Yuzuru, to be my husband, to have and to hold form this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, forever until this soul will destroyed. This is my eternal vow," after she had finished, she dropped his hand.

After nodding once more, the priest pleaded.

"Bless, O Lord, these rings as a symbol of the vows by which this man and this woman have bound themselves to each other; through the lord…"

"I accept," The same voice rang again in front of where the priest was facing, which caused the priest to bow once more.

After that, the priest took out 2 rings from the gold, little case on the altar and urged the groom and the bride to take their respective rings with their names on it.

"Okay then, once more time, the groom repeats after me…" the priest began again.

"I give you this ring as a symbol of my everlasting love, I shall never let go of my love for you for all eternal," the groom declared and placed the ring on the left ring-finger of the bride's hand.

'Now, the bride…"

"I give you this ring as a symbol of my everlasting love, I shall never let go of my love for you for all eternal," the bride declared and placed the ring on the left ring-finger of the groom's hand.

And then, the priest joined the bride's right hand and the groom's right hand together.

"Now that Tachibana Kanade and Otonashi Yuzuru have given themselves to each other by their eternal vows, with the joining of hands and the giving and receiving of rings, I pronounce that they are husband and wife, in the name of the lord."

"Now, please kneel and pray before the lord," the priest ordered again.

The bride and the groom kneeled together, facing the altar.

As that exact moment, the sound of piano playing a song suddenly occurred. The sweet melody of the piano blew through the chiming sound of the bells and mixed together in perfect harmony. The sound of the piano, which until now, in this entire ceremony, had not been heard before, rang throughout the entire church along with the bells, giving the listeners a divine sort of feeling. The melody was out of this world, as if it was not something meant for human, but for a greater being.

The new couple indulged themselves in the song, while remained praying on the ground.

The priest also closed his eyes and remained silent as he listened to the song.

When the song finally ended, the priest opened his eyes and spoke again.

"Please stand up and face each other."

The groom and the bride did as told.

"Now then, Tachibana Kanade and Otonashi Yuzuru, I have witnessed your vows of love to one another. Now, to complete this sacred ceremony of matrimony and prove yourselves as husband and wife…"

The priest started to finish it.

"Otonashi Yuzuru, you may kiss the bride."

And as usual, the groom did as told…

"Let stop it here."

The voice declared curtly, interrupted the kiss.

The groom stopped on his track while the priest said to the voice in confusion.

"B-But why, my lord? We can't complete the ritual without the kiss."

"I understood it well without you telling me, my loyal servant." The voice replied, his voice was still elegant.

"T-Then why?" the priest asked his lord again.

"It was not right of me to take them here and get them to complete this ceremony while they are still separating from each other," Solemnly, the voice replied again.

"B-But even so, this ceremony must be comple-"

"Just let them go for now. This ceremony will be truly completed when they meet again and kiss each other. Do as I said, my loyal servant," The voice interrupted.

"As you wish, my lord," the priest bowed.

"…This dream again, huh?" Yuzuru wakes up from his sleep while he was sitting on the chair of the student council's room.
"Damn! I accidentally fell asleep again," he curses as he is looking absent mindedly at the ring on his left hand.

"What was that about...? I wonder…?"

Unfortunately, before he could continue his thought, he hears a loud shout.

"WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS, THIS IS ALL A LIE!"

…Seem like another newcomer cause a fuss yet again.

"That's my cue then, eh?" he asks that to no one, and then sets off to the place where the shout is coming from…

-o-O-o-

"*sigh*…"he sighs softly after sitting back on the chair in his student council's room.

"I wonder, how many times does that make?"

He went to scold the new boy; that boy challenged him and he told him to try his best and then came back here.

Well, it is nothing new; he has met dozens of that type anyway.

After finishing his thought on that new boy, he goes back to reminiscence about the dream he was having, the dream about his marriage ceremony with Kanade...

It was so vivid and so blurry at the same time.

He can only remember it to the point just before he kissed Kanade. Everything after that he can't remember no matter how hard he tried to.

Did he or did he not kiss her in that dream, he wonders?

Furthermore…

"What's up with this ring, anyway?" he groans again as he looks at the ring in his left ring-finger. The golden ring is a beautiful one. Even without any diamond on it, it still shines radiantly, showing off its elegant. Not to mention the word engraving on it, "Tachibana Kanade Otonashi Yuzuru".

It appeared on his finger back when he just started to have this dream. But that is not the strangest thing about it. When he tried to touch it with his other hand, it went passed his hand as if it was not there at all. Not only that, when he tried asking other students both NPC and human alike, but neither was able to see the ring he mentioned.

The ring seems to be an invisible one, but still, he could always feel the weight of it on his finger. That, or he just hallucinating about it because he misses Kanade so much.

"I wonder how long it is since I started to have this dream…"

He has never kept track of time he spent here anymore since Kanade left. How many years have passed since then? A decade? A century? Or just for a week? He doesn't know at all. So it is also natural that he doesn't know how long since this dream came to haunt him, making him misses Kanade more and more.

The fact that it left this ring on his finger all the time as the tangible evidence doesn't help either.

At times, he tried to take it off because it reminded him of Kanade so much that his heart started to ache, but to no avail, he couldn't even touch it, let alone take it off.

As he ponders what to do next with this mysterious ring and dream he is having, a heavy sound of footsteps approaching him.

Surely, it is of that boy from before.

Cutting off his thought, he says, "Well, time to do my work, huh?"

"I love you, Tachibana-san! Please go out with me!"

"I'm grateful for your feeling, but I'm sorry." Kanade rejects yet another guy who confesses to her.

Her friends, who are watching, talk to each other.

"This makes it 100th time, huh?"

"Yes, this is the 100th time Kanade refuses boys' confessions."

"Ah, ah, she is so popular. I'm envious."

After that, their gossip gets interrupted as Kanade walks over to them.

"Sorry to make you wait." she says in monotone.

"No, no, don't worry about it. You were busy after all," one of her friend waves her hand in dismissal.

They walked home together, having small chats for a while before another friend asks Kanade a question.

"By the way, don't you have anyone you like, Kanade?"

"Eh?" She replies, confused. Where was that coming from?

"Look, I mean, you are pretty popular, right? That is why guys confess to you all the time, but you rejected all of them, soccer's club captain, the top student, chief of the moral committee, or even our student council president! So I was wondering whether there is someone you like or something?" The girl explains.

At her friend's word, the face of the boy from her dream pops into her mind. Does she really love the boy? But how so? They have never met each other before. She doesn't even know him. He was just in the dream she keeps having, the dream of her own marriage.

How ridiculous…

'Not to mention about this ring,' she pauses in her thought and looks at the ring on her finger, 'No one can see it apart from me, I'm already tired of asking around about it. Not to mention the worry looks my parents gave me when I first mentioned it to them that night'

Yes, this was the ring that suddenly appeared on her finger after the night she first dreamt about this peculiar dream. And furthermore, it appears to be invisible, she couldn't even touch it. But strangely yet, she could very well feel its weight on her finger.

'Maybe I'm hallucinating about it. Should I try going to see the counselor?'

She sighs mentally before continues her thought, 'what's engraved on it again? Tachibana Kanade Otonashi Yuzuru?' It kinds of creepy that her name was written on it with the name of a guy she doesn't even know.'

'Maybe it is the name of that boy,' she thinks, 'but if so, have we met each other before? Why was I in such a ceremony with him? And we even about to ki-'

The light blush comes into her cheeks as the scene comes into her head so she shakes her head to brush it off.

When her friend, who has been waiting for her answer, sees her reaction, she asks.

"What's wrong Kanade? You don't want to answer? It's okay," the girl said cheerfully with the face of don't mind, don't mind.

'No, it is not that I don't want to answer you, but…' she pauses in her thought again, pondering something.

'…Do I really love that boy in my dream?'

Well, she probably is. Finally, she admits.

'I mean if I'm not in love with him, why did I reject all the confession so far? And every time it happened, that boy's face kept coming into my mind.'

Yes, she is quite sure about it now. But the problem is she couldn't really tell her friends about it. So the only answer she can give to her is…

"…I don't really know, but probably."

"E-Eh? R-Really? Who is it?" her friend asks excitedly.

"Like I said… I don't know," she repeats again.

Sensing Kanade's discomfort, the girl backs off.

"Never mind that then."

"Ah! Girls, I just remembered! Today, there is a new café opens up next to the station! I heard the rumor that the chief is a great cook. So how about it, wanna check it out?" another girl speaks after they continued to walk for a while longer.

"Oh, I will go too!"

"Me too!"

"Okay then, anyone who wants to go, follows me. As for the ones who are not going, bye bye, see you tomorrow!"

"What about it, Kanade? Will you go too?" the same girl asks Kanade again, snaps her out from her thought as she was continued thinking about the boy.

"A-Ah, I will, too."

"Then we should hurry. Let's go!" the girl leads Kanade by the hand.

'Well, whatever. I shouldn't think so much about it. It has been 4 years, anyway. Since I was 12…'

Yes, that is why it is ridiculous. She, gets marriage, at 12?! No fucking way. Or if that was really the case, it just meant she had bad tastes in men to marriage to such a pedophile. How the heck she started to have this dream when she was 12 is beyond her.

Since 4 years have already passed and she doesn't get any closer to the answer she wants to know, thinking about it anymore wouldn't help anything.

Thinking so, she stops thinking and walks to the café with her friends.

Announcement

First of all, like I said, this was just the draft of my idea for the new story. So unfortunately, the next chapter is likely not going to come any time soon or not coming at all. I will decide whether to continue writing it or not after I have finished my main story "Steal his heart again" (Which is not likely to be finishing soon)

It could only be by miracle if I decided to continue writing this when I have not yet finished "Steal his heart again"

I will continue writing it at the same time as "Steal his heart again" If I get at least 50 reviews from 50 different members of asking me to continue. Impossible, right? That was why I said It took miracle for me to continue writing it as of now.

If I really do get the chance to continue writing it though, I will also rewrite this chapter a little. This is just a draft after all.

Lastly, for those who are writers and this idea inspired you, you are free to use this idea and create your own story from it. But please just inform me about it via PM first. It is not likely that I will be able to continue writing it anytime soon anyway. So might as well just give it to another writer.

Oh! And if you are interested, please do read my another story, "Steal his heart again' also.

This is just me rambling, so if any of you are not interested, feel free to skip it.

Ah, man. At first I was going to write the rough draft, but I ended up making it so detail. It was that marriage ceremony's fault. I'm Buddhist you know, how the hell do you expect me to write a Christian's wedding? Not to mention their super long marriage lines and tradition. It took me for about an hour just researching about the marriage script. And several hours just to write it down and adjusting it.

After that, I just got in the mood to write anything else so detail. Even though it was supposed to be a draft…

The only change in this chapter I will make if I ever going to touch it again is probably to give names to Kanade's friends. And I'm bad at thinking of names too… What a pain…

Oh, well… Can't think of any more things to ramble.

Please read and review.
