I woke up and remembered those precious words that he said last night that I have wanted Ren to say to me for years. I regretted chasing him away but the thought of sharing him with another woman sounded so absurd. I know I cannot live like that so I decided to let go. After all, I have the twins. A lot had happened to me in the last 3 years that made me stronger than ever, but what I cannot understand is that whenever Ren is involved, I became a weak person like I used to be. Maybe, I just didn't forget what it feels like to be in love with him. And then a beep, distract me from thinking about what happened further, for I have to shop before Raiden gets back this afternoon.

I took a bath without further delay and put on a simple, white dress. I checked Keiko, if she is up. Fortunately she isn't, so after I instructed the maid, I left.

I noticed that I forgot the keys to my car, so I turned around and start heading back to my house, when suddenly, someone grabbed my wrist. That man was out of breath, and I reckon that he ran somewhere far from this place to get here.

"Who is Raiden?" he asked almost shouting

To my surprise, I almost fell and then before my body touched the floor Ren pulled me up. I chased my hand away from his grip. How can he know about his carbon-copied son? Who told him about Raiden?

"I do not know what you are talking about" I said simply hiding the nervousness in my voice. What if he knows the truth? What if he decided to take the twins with him? He became so rich that I might lose the case if he filed for custody, since I didn't tell him about our children, I cannot use the fact that he didn't really helped me get through them. The pregnancy….the labor…..the late nights…. What should I do?

"You know exactly what I mean..." and then suddenly he pulled a photo from his wallet, and handed it over for me to see. And then there I was feeling sick all of a sudden, how can he have such picture?

"Don't deny it, Kyouko. Look the boy is the perfect replica of me!" he continued as I continued to stare to the picture of his son while playing baseball.

"How did you get this?" I asked shakily

He ignored my question and asked the most difficult question he had bestowed upon me.

"Were you ever going to tell me?" he asked somewhat raising his voice

"I tried many times but no I absolutely cannot tell you?" I said that I reckon made Ren angrier before he could speak. I spoke

"Don't be angry with me! You don't have the right to! Where were you when I needed your help? Nowhere, so don't you ever criticized me!" I cried, why he can't just go back where he belongs, to Kanae and stop this torture he is doing to me.

"I don't know about all of this until last night" he replied

"That is not an acceptable excuse. Isn't it? You didn't even exerted effort to find me! No, to find us!" I said looking directly to his eyes

"You have no idea what I had gone through this past 3 years. Do you remember me this rich when you last came back to Tokyo? No right? Ever since I learned that you came back in America, I didn't even waste another second to wait; I directly had gone to the airport, only to find out that you are already gone. When I asked help from various of people they constantly ignored me that they said it was ''Insignificant" and the someone said to me that above average money that I have can't make people go with you, so I built a company that is larger than ever and at the same time finding you and then I found you without anyone's help. You didn't know what hell I have been through without you by my side. You are after all my first love. But then I have Kanae and yash…." Before Ren could finish what he was saying, I interrupted him. As soon as I heard the name Kanae my heart cracked as if my heart was bumped into something that is so hard that caused it to break into tiny pieces

"Then the truth came up, it's Kanae. It's always been Kanae! Ren.. You have to marry her; after all, she had your baby"

"My what?" she shouted

"You don't need to raise your voice to me!" I shouted back at him

"Look. It's like you want me to marry her then, but unfortunately, she is already married to my friend, Yashiro" he said sarcastically

"How can you pass your responsibilities like that, you impregnated her but Yashiro took the responsibility"

"What the hell are you talking about?" he sounded more furious than before

"I heard it, the day after me made love. That morning, I heard you and Kanae talking and he said that she was pregnant and she even hugged you" I said it with such remorse and then my eyes became teary

"For Pete's sake, it's that why you left without saying a word? It's that what you so-called responsibility that I cannot understand? " he shouted louder than anyone I know of

"You don't need to raise your voice to me"

"To make this clear, I AM NOT KANAE'S BABY 'S FATHER. And FYI, You might laugh if I said the truth but I am a virgin like yourself when we made the babies" he said with such firm

"Is it really?"

"But I'm getting married?"

"When?"
Today"

"With who?"

"With my children's mother"

And then before I could argue a car parked in front of my house and there is a boy who jump off the car and waved and said goodbye to whomever is driving it. And then, by a quick flash the car start off its engine and left.

"Mama" said the boy standing in front of me. He extended his arm; I did too and hugged me. The boy suddenly stopped when he saw the man's face that is standing right beside me.

"Do I know you? You look just like..." before he could finish Ren completed his son's statement

"Me, I know. My genes are really dominant than you're mommy's" he said chuckling waiting to have the chance to hug Raiden for the very first time.

The boys eyes widened in disbelief. And he looked at me to make his suspicion accurate.

"Yes" and after I said those words Raiden's eyes became teary like mine

"Daddy" and he ran towards his dad and hugged him very tight.

"I missed you so much" he said

Ren hugged his son tighter than anyone had hugged him before but Raiden didn't mind for he didn't even know or saw him before this

"I love you" Ren said to his son, when all the emotion that he had suppressed came all together. He almost collapsed but then he heard someone murmuring at his back and when he turned around to see who it was. He was nearly as surprised when he saw Keiko running toward him and hugged him the same as his twin brother did.

Ren hugged them both at the same time. On the right, it's Raiden. And on the left, it's Keiko. He doesn't want to be apart from them any longer. I saw the happy imaged that my kids and their father portrayed and was over-joy. I noticed that Ren stared at me, waiting for my answer and then when I finally said

"Yes" that completed every single day of the 3 years that we have been apart.

After 2 hours.

I am now a married woman, but then I cannot actually believe that when I arrived to the chapel after one hour everything was organized. My dress was simple but elegant. It's a tube that conquered my shape perfectly. And a veil that has white floral designed beads. The chapel was fabulous. Every step I took, I was overwhelmed. As if the place is a floral shop instead of a chapel, every step I took a bunch of white roses will fall above me. It's like raining without water and what makes the wedding perfect is my ring bearer, Raiden. My flower girl, Keiko, and the love of my life and at the same time, the father of my kids, Ren.

Ren and I decided that we should go back to Tokyo; it is unfair for our parents not to meet their grand children. So we spent 3 more days in New York and came home to Japan. The kids were excited, so excited that they did not sleep a night before the flight and then in the airplane they slept soundly in their business class chair, the lazy boy.

We are surprised when a lot of photographers were expecting us and knew all about the children, but the strange thing is that they don't have a clue who's the mother of Ren's children?

The airport staff had expected this to happen so they specially lead us to the secret hallway and then we saw the chauffeur that we had expected to fetched us, we got inside together with our things into the limousine gave our thanks to the staff and left.

We arrived at the hotel 15 minutes later. And then when we got to our room I received a call from the office and said to Ren that they should go first to his parents. So he did together with the children.

When they arrived Ren got out first and the children stayed inside. Before he could step one foot forward Julie and then his father and my father and mother rushed o meet him.

"What's this issue about you having children?"

"It's true"

"When did this happen?"

"3 years ago"

"How can you do this? You said you onto Kyouko-chan… you said…. "

Before Julie could finish Raiden jumped off the car saying

"Papa" as he lifted his hand so that his father can carry him.

The four older people stared at the boy with disbelief

"You are definitely his father" Julie said

"I know, He is the exact replica of me"

The four older people nodded in agreement and then Julie spoke again

"It's a shame you and Kyouko-chan didn't go well, but now you're married and ….." again. Before she could finish Raiden squeezed the arm of his father to say that he wants to be down and when Ren finally did. Raiden called out

"Mama" he said while lifting his hands in order to be lifted. So I did and after that apologized for being late.

"I'm sorry. The call was very important"

"Its okay" said my husband while smiling.

The four older people was left speechless, they cannot believe the fact that their son and daughter are the parents of this beautiful replica of his father.

Julie came to me and hugged me very tight and said

"This is wonderful" she said while her eyes became teary and then the other 3 nodded in agreement. And then Keiko suddenly jumped off the car and hugged his father.

"This is my daughter, Keiko" he smiled at his daughter when he introduced her.

The 4 older people was left speechless again and then Kyouko's mom finally spoke

"They're Twins" she asked

We nodded in agreement

"How delightful, my life couldn't be happier" Ren said while pulling the 4 of us together and as our parents stared at the picture of our family, I thought that what if we didn't meet again and I never really pursued after this man and made love, would my life would be this wonderful? And then I figured out the answer as I look at my 3 beloved. Even through all the hard work I would never ever replace any event in my life that made me cry for without all of this blessing that I have receive now will not be present without them. Ren once told me the story of the girl who hid herself when she cry, I know it was me but then he said that when we were young, the first time she saw me cry was the time when he realized that I am his charismatic princess.
