I took vey long time to post this chapter. I am so busy that I could not even sleep well. My work is hectic and had to do in weekends also. I hardly get time for myself.
Chapter 4: Trunks' Decision~~~~~~~~~~Capsule Corp Office~~~~~~~~~~
Goten went to Trunks' room with a sad face making Trunks feel that something is wrong with him. Goten looked devasted and was silently sitting for a while hoping that Trunks would speak up first as Goten is the only best friend he could have in years together and also he is gonna be his brother-in-law shortly. Trunks' heart was filled with worries for his friend despite his frustration on life and his work.
"Goten, What is wrong with you? Is something bothering you or you are not well?", Trunks asked as he remembered that Saiyans would not get sick that easily.
"Trunks, You knew about the Marriage preparations of Bulla with Me. Bulma wants it to be very grand and she is on for all the best that could be possibly done. Bulla and Bulma were busy on the Purchasing these days which gives hard time for Bulma as she had to work and also prepare for wedding.", Goten stopped hoping to see the expressions on Trunks' face.
"My mom and Bulla shopping for the wedding and the wedding preparations are going too well. So what is the problem here. Did you fight with Bulla lately? Did you try to hurt her", asked Trunks with the bit of harshness in his tone thinking about his sister getting hurted.
"We did not fight with each other. In fact, It is been days that myself and Bulla met together except for meeting you in Capsule Corp. Bulla is feeling lonely and that she wants the quality time to spend with me. She is asking me if I could join her in her purchasing." Goten replied without any expression in his face.
Trunks chuckled and said, "What do you mean she is lonely. She is always in malls purchasing lots for her filling the huge closet of hers. She is always busy on her part. So this one makes you feel sad uh. You are missing my sister and after all she is already your mate in saiyan terms."
Goten blushed on his comments on missing Bulla and himself being her mate. Goten always loved Bulla so much for quite a long time and the same with Bulla too. But it took time for them to realize that they were more than friends and then proposed themselves. Vegeta even agreed for their marriage and both of them were happy.
Goten controlling himself and coming out of his thoughts spoke up. " Trunks, I am sorry but your sister is no more a child who would be only considering the shopping and malls. She has grown so much that we are going to start a family in few months. And Yes, I am missing Bulla so dearly that it feels like piercing my heart."
Goten was completely true on whatever he spoke with Trunks. Except for the fact that his confession is to make Trunks' have a small vacation or have his own space.
After a short thought, "Goten, I still consider Bulla as our little princess at home. You are her mate and I do not see a problem for you to see her or have a date with her. Am I missing something?"
"Oh, that is ok. I can understand your feelings. I could have a date with her and that is exactly Bulla wants from me at this hectic time. You know that she is quite dramatic and childish that She wanted her matching rings to be selected by me and even the dresses."
"Hey. Come on man. If you don't comply to my sister' words I am going to kill you even if my father spares you." Trunks smirked.
After a pause Goten said "Ya. I could do that. But I do not even have time to meet with her and how come I could take her for a date. And also, I need to go to US in few days for the Merger of the West Industries with us. I don't know how I can be away from Bulla for those many days."
Goten continued, "I do not consider anything in front of her. But our responsibility if went wrong could affect many numbers of employees and also their families. I don't know what to do in this case as both are important to me right now."
Trunks always wanted Bulla to be happy and cannot bare the Bulla to be hurted at any cost. He replied, "Is the Merger bothering you? If that is your point of concern, then leave about that to me. I will take care of that myself. And I will fly to US on your behalf. So be happy."
"Am I being selfish and making your life sad. I don't know but I could not hide my feelings when I am in front you even if it is regards to your sister."
With this, the friends' conversation ended and Goten left the room satisfied that his plan worked out so well. Goten immediately informed Bulla and Bulma so nothing goes wrong in his plan. They both agreed and stuck on that plan.
~~~~~~~~~~~~Bulma's Residence~~~~~~~~~
Trunks reached home after completing his work. As planned by Bulma and Bulla, they acted as if they were so busy that they had no time. Bulma was speaking about her not able to work on her new inventions as she had to do so much preparations for the marriage. She also mentioned that it could be better if someone could help on this regard. Bulla was complaining about Goten not coming around her with work as his reasons. Though She knew that telling her feelings in front of her Brother might embarrass her, She had to do it in order to make Trunks' better. Also whatever she spoke about Goten were true from her heart.
Trunks was thinking about his mother and sister conversation downstairs as he reached his room. He knew that his father do hates this shopping and the wide preparations and would not be help for Bulma and Bulla. Someone has to help them so that it would lessen the burden for his beloved sister. He cannot ignore his sister suffering without reaching her mate. He decided that he was the one who should go to US to fix up the Merger with West Industries. The frustration of his mind is no more important than his family.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~Back in US~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pan had completed her preparations for the Bio Medical Conference. She wanted to refresh herself just to reduce her pressure. So she switched on the television and is randomly changing the channels as she did not like any channels. Everything is filled with Romantic movies which she does not watch normally. Then she started watching a Action Movie and was trying the moves that were done by the Actors. But she felt they were so dramatic and had no real Action.
Pan thought that she could read a book and took some books from her collections which almost filled a room. She had a wide collection of books which were highly technical to use for her research. 'Let me take this Romantic Novel and see what exactly it would be like' Pan thought. She did not like it in the beginning and as time passed she could not resist but read. After all she is in her teens to get interested with it. This is the first romantic Novel she had ever read. She had taken this book just because she liked the Title.
The Main leads in the Novel were waiting for the best person to be their soulmate. And one wonderful day came when they were destined to meet each other in a unlikely situation. They had to overcome all the problems including the unacceptance from their families. The love between them had never faded till the end. The Love they had bared all the obstacles and had given them the fruit of happiness along the way. The Novel ended with the couple and their two children. This was a wonderful happy ending Love.
Pan lay down in her bed wondering when she will meet her soulmate and in what situation. She had not dated anyone before in her school or college days. She was never attracted to someone in her past. Also she had confined her world within the books and the research and did not come out of this world. Now she understood why her mother always insisted to go out and face the world rather than sitting in the room. She used to stop her mother saying that she is aware of the world and that she is facing it every day.
Pan convinced herself that there is someone born in this world who is destined to be her love and the soulmate with whom she would share the rest of her life. This is one of the exception day when Pan had thought something ahead of her seminars, conferences and the researches she held with her. Pan kept the book back from where she took it earlier and slept a few minutes later. Pan will always keep her room tidy and she loves to clean her room all by herself.
Gohan and Videl were in the deep conversation in the living room. They were speaking about Pan and the future ahead of her.
Videl said, "Pan never had a single boyfriend in her life till today. I am worried if she is totally ignoring the fact that she has a life ahead more than her academics. And you are further making her desperate on her present state." With her motherly worries.
"She is young and she has lot of time ahead to think about her life. She is a wise kid and knew the right decision to take at the right time." Defended Gohan his daughter.
"She is old enough to think about her future and I am worried that she would become a complete Nerd forgetting her future. I do not say that she should not concentrate on her Academics. But she should settle down at some part of time."
"Leave your worries. She will be fine."
"Hope so."
With this I end this chapter hoping this is good enough. I am naïve for writing and so could not pick the right words. If there are issues till now, Please provide your inputs. I will surely rectify in my future chapters.
