One Last Try
"You look so beautiful Misaki!" My best friend Sakura exclaimed. I must admit I do look beautiful in my wedding gown. It's simple really, a sleeveless gown with a sweetheart neckline. The skirt isn't too puffy either. They matched it up with some long silk and lace gloves to complete the outfit. They finished it with a small tiara that held up my veil. "Are you ready Misaki?" I nodded, I was nervous but ready. Today's my wedding day and I definitely want this to be memorable.
They dropped me off at the cathedral where the wedding was being held. The doors to the cathedral opened revealing all the people inside. A man stood at the altar. It was Takumi. My father slowly escorted me towards the groom. My heart was racing but I was definitely excited. This is the happiest day of my life. We finally reached the altar and Takumi took my hand. "She's all yours now." My father said. "You look beautiful Misaki" Usui whispered. I blushed. After years of waiting for him he's finally home.
We stood in front of the priest. He began with the opening statement, soon we were to say our vows " Ayuzawa Misaki, for years you have stayed true to me. You have waited for me dutifully and pained you within those years. Now I want to spend the rest of my life with you and I promise to fill your life with great joy and love you more each day for the rest of my life. I'll stay with you Misaki for better or worse. No matter what happens you'll always have the key to my heart. Though I can't promise to stop being your perverted outer space alien." He said with a smirk.
It was Misaki's turn. "Usui Takumi, for so long you've left me all alone but now In front of all these witnesses I swear my love for you. I promise to love you and stay with you no matter what life throws on our way. I'll never leave you Takumi, I'll stay with you for better or worse."
With their vows stated the priest added more words that are to be said in a wedding and pronounced "You may now kiss the bride."
Usui lifted the veil on my face and stared at me lovingly. I immediately got lost in his beautiful Emerald eyes. He leaned down to kiss me, but before he could, I flicked his head. "That's for the last part of your vow." I whispered, then grabbed his tie and pulled him in for a kiss. Our first kiss as husband and wife...
3 years later...
"Ayuzawa law firm, Ayuzawa Misaki speaking." Misaki answered the phone with much professionalism.
"Misaki, have you really left home? Usui's been worried sick about you." It was Sakura. She sounded like she was about to cry.
"Yeah I left that bastard husband of mine and no, I'll never go back there after everything that has happened." I know it sounds stupid because that statement contradicts my vows but hey cheating doesn't count in the 'for better or worse' list.
"Misaki he said you've misunderstood. Nothing's going on between him and the bitchy secretary." Sakura persuaded
"Yeah right like I'll believe that, I saw it with my two damn eyes."
I could still remember it like it was yesterday (it was two months ago)...
I visited Takumi in the company headquarters because he didn't come home last night. I thought something bad might've happened so I decided to check on him. I asked the receptionist if he was in and told me that he hasn't left since yesterday. I went up the elevator and walked up to his office, I opened the door... what the hell?! There was a woman on top of Takumi, wearing only her bra and a G-string.
"What the hell's going on here?" I shouted and pushed the bitch off of my husband. Takumi jolted up from his sweet slumber and took a few seconds to realize what the hell is going on. Scantily clad secretary. Enraged demonic wife. A sleepy perverted idiot.
"M-Misaki i-it's not what you think!" Usui said trying to calm me down.
"Is that why you always came home so late? Is that why you missed the dinner date you promised me and stood me up? Is it because of her?" I asked.
"Misaki please believe me nothing happened between us." Usui was worried now, Misaki won't believe him and he can't afford to lose her.
"H-how could you say that Usui-sama? You told me to stay late last night. Then you sat on that couch and asked me to sit on your lap. Then you started stroking me." The secretary said while sobbing.
"You lie! I never did those things!" Usui said definitely outraged by his secretary's lies.
"Enough of this, I'm going. I'm sorry to interrupt your fuckfest." I spat
Usui tried to run after me but I immediately closed the elevator and went home. I sobbed for hours. I can't believe Takumi could do this to me. I love him truthfully and there he goes and screws another woman behind my back. I shouldn't have trusted him. Men are the same.
I left our house sobbing. I went and bought myself an apartment for me to live in...
"Hellooooo, earth to Misaki, you still there?" Sakura snapped me out of my flashback.
"H-huh? Oh y-yeah." Flashbacks can really blank out your mind.
"So Misaki what are you going to do now? You can't avoid him forever."
"I'm just waiting for something."
"What is it Misaki? A miracle?"
"What? No! It's-ugh I'm sorry but it's a secret. I have to go now Sakura I still have work to do." I said trying to shoo her off
"Alright Misaki, I hope you can settle the matter with Usui." She said then hung up the phone.
It'll settle the matter alright
"Ayuzawa-san you have mail." My secretary, Miho handed me my mail.
"Thanks Miho." I said and dismissed her.
I looked at the envelope and took a deep breath. I opened it to check if the document's inside. Yup. It's there. Now I just have to get this to Takumi.
Right on cue my phone rang. It was him. My cheating bastard of a husband. I answered the phone.
"Hello?" I answered coldly.
"Misaki where are you? I was so worried about you. Have you been eating well? Do you get enough sleep? Oh Misaki please tell me you're taking care of yourself." Takumi said worriedly
I felt a little bit guilty about that, having him worry over me. It has been two months since I left and I never contact him after that.
"What do you want?" I asked
"Misaki please let's talk things through. Can we at least have dinner? Just please I really want to see you." Takumi sounded so screwed up.
"What makes you think I want to see you again?"
"Misaki please, just talk to me. We really need to work this out."
"Alright then, seven pm tomorrow at Aubergine. If you're not there by thirty minutes I walk and don't ever expect to see me again." I said then hung up the phone.
Okay so now I have to meet that husband of mine in our favorite restaurant. Just great.
