CHAPTER FINALE: Yes, I do.
She looks at the mirror. Her brown hair like her mother's was braided and she had a flower crown on her head. She looks at her aunt, who was fixing her own dress.
"Auntie, why are we dressed up so nicely today?" the 3 year old ask her aunt. Her aunt smiles. "Today is a special day for both you and your mummy." She says.
The 3 year old looks confused. "Why?" she asks. Her aunt smiles again. "Today, you are going to get a daddy." She says excitedly.
Little Seira looked confused. "A daddy? Who?" she asks. Amu smiles again, then looks back at the mirror.
"Maki." She says, looking at her own reflection. "Not bad," she mumbled.
"Maki-oniisan?" Seira asks. Amu nods and smiles. "Aren't you happy?" she asks. Seira looked as though she was thinking about it then slowly, she reveals her teeth. Then she nods.
Amu smiles. Seira looked exactly like her mother. The same brown hair, same eye colors and the same smile. And today, Ami was getting married to Maki.
Amu had arrived to Japan 3 days ago so that she could help Ami with the preparations. Today, her little sister who is now 24 will be married.
The past 3 days, Amu have been so busy that she forgot about Ikuto. But today, she knew she was going to see him and then…
"Onee-chan!" Ami called. Amu looked at her sister. Wow, she was beautiful, Amu thought. Ami's brown hair was tied into a French bun. A veil covered her flushed face.
"Hey, Ami." Amu said. "Are you excited?" Amu asks with a grin. Ami blushes and nods.
"I'm so nervous… what if I fall while walking down the aisle?" Ami asks. Amu giggles. "Don't worry, I'm sure your future father-in-law will be holding you tightly." She grins again.
Ami gulps. "I hope so." She mumbles. Amu sighs and touches her sister's face. "You're getting married today, smile." She says. Ami looks at her sister and smiles. Amu too smiles.
"Good luck." Amu whispers and Ami nods. Now, the march was playing. Maki's father wrapped his arm around Ami's. Ami took a deep breath and followed her future father-in-law slowly.
"Do you, Maki Dakuto, take Ami Hinamori as your loving wife…"
"I do." He says. Ami smiles. Then, the priest turns to her and repeats the same thing. "I do." She says.
"Please exchange the rings." He says. And finally, the moment everyone have been waiting for. "You may kiss the bride."
Maki pulls Ami closer to her and kisses her. Everyone applauded and cheered. Seira, the flower girl ran to the front and asked them to kiss her too. Everyone laughed.
DINNER TIME
"Hi, welcome, thanks for coming." Amu greets the guest and leads them to their tables. She was in charge of all that.
Utau was their V.I.P. and her job was to sing while the guests had dinner. Ami and Maki were laughing and when they cut the cake, they shoved pieces into each others mouth.
Amu kept looking outside, though. She didn't see Ikuto at the church. Maybe he would come for dinner, she thought. But deep inside, she felt worried.
What if he doesn't want to be with me anymore? What if, he's too tired of waiting and lost his patience? What if… he doesn't love me anymore?
All those were what Amu thought. She had left for 3 years. They only contacted each other through email.
Amu looks at the ring. Before she left, he had gave it to her and said that he would wait for her. Is he breaking the promise? She thought to herself. She sighed.
"Alright?" she heard Erin asking. Amu nodded. "Why don't you take a break? Lemme take over." Erin offered. Amu smiled.
"Thanks." She says, and Erin nods. Amu left and went to the balcony. From outside, she could hear everyone talking and cheering and congratulating the couple. Everyone was happy, but her.
Sure, she was glad Ami finally found happiness, but there was something bugging her.
She closed her eyes and open them slowly. The night air was warm. She could hear people asking Utau to sing more. She should be in there, not here.
As she turned around to head back in, she stopped. In front of her was Nagihiko and Rima. They were looking at her.
"What are you doing here alone?" Rima asks. Amu shook her head. "I was just taking some air." She replied. Rima and Nagi looked at each other. Nagi sighed.
"Are you looking for Ikuto?" he asks. Amu's eyes opened wide. She blushes. "Yeah." She says softly.
"He's here." Rima says. Amu looks up. "He is?" she asks. There was a slight twinkle in her eye.
They nod. "You should go inside and look for him." Nagi says with a smile. Amu nods happily and quickly runs in, then she stops for awhile.
"Thanks, you guys!" she says. They smile and nod. Amu runs in again.
"I hope they get together." Rima says. Nagi smiles. "Sure they will. They were made to be together."
INSIDE
Amu looked around, trying to spot the blue-haired man. She saw no Ikuto. She only saw a lot of strangers.
She ran here and there, still looking around. Where is he? She thought to herself. If Rima and Nagi saw him, it means he is around here somewhere.
At last, when she felt tired, she stopped standing in the center of the hall. Tears were close in her eyes. Did he leave her? Was it because he was too tired of waiting? Where is he?
She quickly wiped off the tears before they could fall. No, she couldn't cry. It was her sister's wedding. She couldn't cry. Otherwise, she would jinx it. But they wouldn't stop flowing down.
"Where are you, Ikuto?" she asked herself softly. "Why aren't you here with me?" she asks again. "Why?" wiping the tears quickly.
"Amu Hinamori!" a voice called her. She looks up. It was Utau. She hold the microphone and pointed at her.
"Wh-What?" Amu asks, surprised. Then Utau smiles and nods. Everyone looks behind and gasps.
"Oh my! Isn't that…"
Amu turns around and saw Ikuto. He was smiling as he walked slowly towards her. Amu looked at him. Tears streamed down her cheeks again.
"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting." He says, hugging her as he steps closer to her. She looks at him and immediately hugs him back. "You idiot." She muttered. He chuckled. "I'm sorry again." He says.
She looks at him and shook her head. Then she realized everyone was looking at her. She blushes.
"This is embarrassing." She says. He laughs. "We're stealing the couple's spotlight." He says.
Ami and Maki grin. "No problem, just get on with it." They say. Amu blushes and Ikuto nods.
He turns her around so that she was now facing him. "Well, today, I, Ikuto Tsukiyomi, have a confession to make in front of everyone gathered in this hall."
He looks around. "Before this, me and Amu had a fake marriage." He confessed. Everyone gasped and started to say, "So they weren't really together?"
"But, when we were together, we were happy and we loved each other." he says, smiling. "Well, we almost had a real family, until a bitch entered our life." He rolled his eyes and everyone laughed. "And we separated from each other but still, we needed each other."
"I love Amu Hinamori. Even though we've been apart for these 3 years, I couldn't get her out of my mind." He said, looking into Amu's eyes. Amu blushes. "I-Ikuto! What are you talking about?" she asks.
"I'm saying that I love you, and..." slowly he kneels down and produces a box. Everyone gasps, including Amu.
"Wh-what is that?" she asks. He grins. He opens the box and inside it was a diamond ring.
Amu's eyes opened wide. "Ikuto?" she asks, surprised. He looks at her.
"Amu, if you still love me, will you marry me again?"
Everyone gasps and their friends cheered. "Say yes!" Utau yelled. Kukai nodded with agreement. Ami and Maki smiles and nods.
Slowly, everyone in the hall started to cheer to. They chanted, 'Say yes! Say yes! Say yes!' Amu blushed.
"W-Well… I do love you Ikuto." she says slowly. Everyone cheers and applauded.
"But… this is too soon. I mean, I want to be with you again too." She looks away.
"So? What are you waiting for? Say yes!" someone yelled and everyone cheered. Amu blushed.
"But, it's too early. I think we could get together, but not get married just yet." She said. Everyone looked at her. "What?" they exclaimed.
"But if fate wants us to get married, then we will." She announces. Everyone looks at her, shocked, including Ikuto.
"What are you talking about?" Ikuto asks, wide eyed. Amu looks at him.
"Well… here's the deal. If I catch the rose bouquet again, just like in Utau's wedding, I will marry you." She says. Everyone gasps. But quietly, Ami had stood up and winked at Maki. Maki winks back.
"But if I don't catch it… we'll have to forget about getting married and just… be a normal couple first." Amu continues.
Ami smirks and aims it at Amu. Then quickly, she threw it into the air.
"Look!" A guest pointed on top. Everyone looked up and yelled.
"OMG! There it is! Quick, grab it!" the women were all yelling excitedly. But the bouquet slowly went down…
And landed on Amu's surprised hand.
Everyone looks at her, silent. Then she blushes. "Again?" she asks loudly. Everyone laughs.
She looks at Ami, who was giving a thumbs-up and then she looked at Ikuto.
He smirked. "So… you caught it." He said.
She blushes even more. Everyone chants slowly, "Say yes! Say yes! Say yes!"
"Does this mean, you'll marry me?" he asks, pulling her chin up. She looks away but he pulls her face so that she was facing him.
Slowly, a smile was formed on her face. "Yes, I'll marry you." She says.
Everyone gives a 'Woohoo!' and 'Hooray!'. Ikuto pulls her closer to him and was about to kiss her but she stopped him.
"Hang on a second. We're in public." She said. He nodded. "So, you don't want to kiss here?" he asks.
She looked at the rose bouquet then looks at him. "I've got a plan." She smirks.
"Hey everyone! The bouquet's back in the air!" she yells and threw the bouquet up. Again, everyone started to chase after it.
Ikuto laughs and pulls Amu's chin up. Then, without anyone looking at them, they place their lips on each others.
As for the bouquet, it landed on Rima's hand. She blushes and looks at Nagi. Nagi smirks.
"So, after this would be our turn I guess." He says. Rima looks away and smiles. "Yeah." She says.
After Ikuto and Amu have broke the kiss, they looked into each other's eyes. "So… home?" he asks with a smirk.
She grins. "Home." She replies.
