This note is for the birthday girl.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

Gal, I am extremely sorry. Writing the new chapter totally escaped my mind. Tomorrow is Eid and I was indulged in preparations and there was a lot of study as the monthly test is here as well.

I really wanted to write the chapter for you. I am so so sorry.

I promise you guys will get the chapter in two days maximum.

The next chapter contains the marriage and honey moon. If you all are sick with romance the do tell. Or I would suggest you cherish the days of romance as the torture is just one chapter later.

Sorry again. The following scene is my amendment. (Hopefully)

Love you all,

Lola

Sorry again. Promise. Just two more days for a lovely romance-packed chapter.

"Come here, Mrs-Kuon." Kuon cooed. Kyoko's blush was inevitable when he presented her with such million dollar smiles.

"We aren't married yet, Kuon," she chastised playfully. Kuon pulled her under his right arm and sauntered towards soon-to-be-their room.

"Stay here, love," he left her beside the bed and went to the locker. He pulled open the door and bent in to fetch something while Kyoko gazed at him curiously.

After a moment, he turned back with a haughty grin making her melt.

He sashayed towards her naughtily. Her heart was out of the roof.

He slowly took her hand while keeping his eyes locked with hers. Kyoko felt her insides churning. Kuon's overwhelming smile was full on placed.

"Look down," he whispered. The dazed girl barely acknowledged his plea.

"Down," he said a bit more commanding this time. She finally caught his command. Slowly, she looked down and was taken aback by the beauty awaiting her.

There in the open palm of his right hand lay an exquisite diamond ring. It was a four carat, cushion-cut diamond, set with two rows of pave diamonds all around the band. Kyoko gasped while Kuon fondly observed her reaction.

"I bought it five years ago in an auction. It was called the Soul mate. I don't know what got into me but I bought it. It was for the one the fates had made for me. And today I am standing In front of my soul mate. And I am more that sure it will fit you beautifully." He explained lovingly while tracing her ring finger.

Kyoko's eyes widened. Immediately fear overwhelmed her.

"But what if…" before she could start, he silenced her with a chaste kiss.

"Not. A. chance." He whispered.

Slowly he took her hand and raised it a little. It was shivering. She was afraid. Suddenly the fear that maybe it was all the happiness she was destined to have. Maybe it was the end. If the ring won't fix, it would be a bad omen.

But Kuon's hand remained static. He knew for sure Kyoko was his soul mate. And the ring would fit. There was no space for what if's today.

He slowly slipped the ring on her finger. Kyoko held her breath and unintentionally, so did Kuon.

One centimeter after another, the ring finally reached the apex of her finger.

It fit. Perfectly.

They released their breaths and immediately their eyes met. Their joy knew no bounds.

"Mrs-Kuon,"Kuon whispered passionately. Not being able to hold her pleasure, she jumped into his arms and kissed him fervently.

"Mrs-Kuon" she confirmed with equal passion.

They were together. They were destined to be. The fates proved it. But now a new question arose:

FOR HOW LONG?
