Misaki was excited waking up. It was her first birthday after she got married. Yes, she was now Usui, top notch lawyer and wife of the CEO of the Walker Corps branch in Japan. She wondered what her dear Takumi would have in store for her. She entered their kitchen to see him cooking. He turned around and smiled. She peeked at the stove to see what was cooking. It was just eggs and bacon. Visibly disappointed, Takumi asked her, 'Ne,Kaichou were you expecting something else?. Uh, nothing, she replied. 'Kaichou, you are dressed very well today! What's the occasion?'He asked his emerald eyes lightening up. Misaki was wearing a simple but gorgeous blue dress that reached till her knees. Misaki thought he was playing with her so she said 'I'll give you a hint, it's someone's birthday.' 'Oh my god, Misaki, I'm so sorry. I should have realized that today was Avril Lavigne's birthday. But I didn't know you were this big a fan.' Misaki became super mad and slammed the door when she left, leaving behind a clueless Takumi. Misaki was thinking about it all day at work. Maybe I was overreacting, she thought. Just then her phone rang. 'Hey, Misaki, I'm so sorry. How about I make it up for you with dinner at Kozue? Misaki smiled and said ok. She then left office early and left for Kozue, the best restaurant in Tokyo. And she waited and waited. It was closing time at the restaurant and he still did not come. His phone was going straight to voice message. She was becoming angrier by the minute. And furthermore, the restaurant closed and she had to stand outside. As if things couldn't get worse, it started raining. She was on the verge of crying. She was experiencing mixed emotions. Finally, Takumi came and she angrily sat in the car. I'm really sorry, he said. She refused to talk to him. Finally when they reached home, he said. 'Look I don't think you should be this mad just because I forgot Avril Lavigne's birthday. It's not like I forgot your birthday … his words trailed off. Shit, I'm sorry, Misaki. I'm really sorry. I'll make it up to you! His eyes seemed earnest and desperate. "Look, from the morning I was expecting you to do something grand. But you didn't even wish me. For god sakes, you remembered that today is Avril Lavigne's birthday! Like seriously, I never expected you to forget. And then when I thought it all would be over, you stood me up. The restaurant owners were look at me with pity! And then I got drenched. I never thought I say this but congratulations Takumi you just one most forgetful husband of the year award". She screamed at him opened the door. SURPRISE! Everyone yelled. Their room was decorated very nicely with balloons and streamers everywhere. Misaki was speechless. Takumi had this wide cocky grin."You really thought I would forget your birthday. But, let me tell you I did not plan the rain. His words were cut off as she kissed him with much fervor. Softly she said sorry and blushed like anything. Takumi knew she was never like much PDA. Ah, all's well that ends well, he thought and enjoyed that perfect moment.
