Aya

Rei

EPILOGUE

She took a deep breath for the nth time that morning. Aya roamed her eyes around the room and there was Miyu trying to fix her make up, Sayo still annoying Ran, Mami checking out for any wrinkles on her dress.

"You okay?" and Towa who keeps on checking her from time to time.

I just nodded in reply. "Having any cold feet?" she asked.

"No! No!" she laughed at her response. "I see you're not having any doubts about this."

"I just can't believe it's happening, finally," she sighed. "After everything we've been through." she saw the girls now looking at me with smile on their faces. How blessed she is to have them.

"That's normal, Aya," Miyu said. I guess she's speaking base from her experience.

"Well, no one really thought of Otohata getting down to his knees, not once but twice! I repeat, TWICE!" Ran said with emphasis on the number of times Rei had asked Aya to marry him.

"Love can really do such mysterious things." Miyu said.

"I just really wish I could walk on the aisle with Yuuya," Mami pouted.

"I'm sorry Mami," Aya apologized to her friend. Yuuya has a special role of accompanying Aya and handing her over to Rei as her dad is not around anymore to do that. Her mom insisted of asking Yuuya to do this part as her best guy friend.

"Don't worry Mami. You'll have Yuuya for the rest of the evening."

"Look this way girls!" Sayo called out while directing our eyes to her camera. CLICK! "Perfect!"

Knock knock…

The door slid open revealing two man.

"We're here for the bride," Yuuya said while peaking on the small door opening. "Aya-ppye," Tatsuki called.

"She's here all ready," Towa opened the door fully for them allowing them to enter in. They stopped midway and just starred at her.

"Is-is there something wrong?" She consciously asked.

"No, no. It's just - just…" Tasuki started.

"You look really beautiful. Man! Now I can really see where Rei had landed!" Yuuya continued. "If you weren't about to marry my bestfriend, I could have snatch you away, Aya-chan." That earned him a nudge from his girlfriend and a laugh from everyone.

"You were saying?" Mami raised a brow while asking her man. Yuuya got nervous with her look. "Nothing! I mean, she's beautiful but you're still much more gorgeous!" Everyone laughed on that.

"So, this is it?" Aya nodded. Ran, Miyu, Mami, Sayo and Towa kissed her on the cheek before going out.

"After you princess," Tatsuki said offering his arm to her.

"Thanks Tatsuki," holding into Yuuya's right arm and Tatsuki's left.

Rei…

I looked at my watch. Fifteen minutes. Why am I feeling like this? Get a hold of yourself Otohata, you've been waiting for this anyway.

I sighed for the nth time.

"Aya's been doing the same deep breathing dince this morning," I saw Ran now standing on my side. "Nervous?" she asked. I didn't answer. "You're still human Otohata. You have emotions, so it's okay to feel that way."

I looked at her "Do you think-" I stopped at that. I'm not really sure Ran is the correct person I should be asking.

"Think what?" she asked. "Com'on Otohata. I'm not just another person." She's right.

I should probably just get this over with, "Do you think, I can make her happy?"

Ran looked at me as if I just said some joke then she began laughing when she confirmed that I was dead serious. I raised a brow on that. "Sorry. Sorry," she said while trying to control her laughter. "Look, I really don't know what she saw in you. As someone who is just watching from afar, I saw how she cried over you and I hate you for that." I know. Ran had been Aya's guardian angel they became friends. Whoever hurts Aya is always on her radar, and that doesn't excluded me, definitely not me. She made it very clear that she hated me in all my ways, but she hates me most for hurting a certain brunette. "But it is Aya we are talking about," she continues. "Just a simple gesture from you can make her happy. So this whole proposal thing, this wedding, the happily ever after that you are about to give her, I'm sure you're already giving her the happiness that she never thought she could have," I'm amazed she's making sense right now. "Just promise us one thing, Rei." She said while tapping me on the shoulder. "Try not to make her cry. I mean, I know it will not be a perfect relationship. There will be ups and downs. You'll probably get angry, she'll probably cry, you'll probably have some fights and misunderstandings along the way, but never hurt her intentionally." I nodded.

"All right everyone, it's almost time. Places guys! Places!" we heard the coordinator shouting.

"I have to go. Smile at her when she enters the door will yah!" she reminded me.

"Ran!" I called out and she looked at me, "Thanks!" she smiled and said "Anything for my friends."

I heard the music started and I was told to walk on the aisle

I heard the music started.

I saw my parents walking in followed by our entourage. Yamato, Miyu, Ran, Tatsuki, Sayo, Naoki, Mami, her mom then Yuuya. They were all smiling. It made me more nervous. Then they closed the door.

The coordinator called me. It's my queue. I was ushered towards the closed door, the entrance. He's on the other side.

All guests were asked to stand up. The music had changed. The door began to open.

I heard the changed of music and saw that the door was starting to open.

I can see her silhouette.

I kept my head bowed for a moment and slowly looked straight when the door had fully opened.

I can see her now. Breathtaking. She's mine. I love the sound of that. She's mine. I felt water on my cheeks. Am I crying?

He was looking at me, smiling. Are those tears?

Yamato handed me a handkerchief and whispered, "I knew you'll need this." I took it and muttered a soft thanks

I can't help but smile at what I saw. But then, I guess I was crying also. I slowly walked towards the direction if Yuuya.

Yuuya handed her a handkerchief also when she approached him and saw that he whispered something to her making her giggle.

Yuuya handed me a handkerchief as well then said, "You're now the most powerful woman. You just made the Ice Prince cry," Yeah, seeing him shed some tears makes me powerful.

Slowly they are making their way towards me, my eyes only focused on her. Few more steps. I can't wait to hold her hand and have her near me everytime. I recall everything that we went thru. How she tried to make me see her, how I rejected her and make her cry for God knows how many times, how she got my attention and finally my affection, how I tried to ignore my feelings and denied it to several people, how I thought she'll leave me forever, how I got scared that I might not get her back. It was a roller coaster ride but it was all worth it.

He was in deep thought. I wonder what he was thinking. Should I be bothered? He saw me with a slight worried face. He smiled to assure me that everything is fine. I relaxed and tried to tell him that I trust him.

Yuuya finally handed her to him. "Thanks," he murmured to his bestfriend slash bestman.

"What were you thinking?" Aya asked as he help her with her gown.

"I was just thinking of what we'll be doing tonight. Our first night," she blushed when she realized what he was talking about. He got beside her and the officiant had cleared his throat signaling that the ceremony was about to start.

Rei just held her hand the entire ceremony. Giving it a little squeeze every now and then, trying to reassure her that this is real.

It was time for the rings. Aya held the ring to her hand and noticed something inside. RA. She smiled at the engraved letters. She had Rei in charged of these. Apparently, The Ice Prince has good set of eyes for jewelries.

"You like it?" he asked upon noticing that Aya had her eyes on the engraved letters. "I love it." she replied. "Rei, take this ring as a symbol of my love for you, to have and to hold, from this day forward, till death do us part," she finally said and slipping the ring into his finger.

"Aya, take this ring as a symbol of my love for you, to have and to hold, from this day forward, till death do us part," he said to her with a full smile painted on his face.

"I'll give this time for the couple to say their personal vows. Should we hear it from the bride first?" Ran handed her a piece of paper. She had it written just in case she forget her own words. She unfolded the paper and look at it for a moment. Then she changed her mind and decided to return it to Ran.

"You could just read later whatever I wrote there. But right now, Rei, all I really want to say is thank you for letting me love you. Thank you for letting me grow as a person, for believing in me, for believing in us. It was not an easy road and many had witnessed that. Even our friends got tired of us, but not you. You pulled me back when I was the one who was about to let go. You waited for me when I got all tied up with what was happening in my life. You we're always there handing me that handkerchief and giving me advices to bounce back every time I fall down. You're my strength Rei. Thank you and I love you." He reached out to her wiping the tears she had after that speech.

"Now let's see how our groom could top that off," said the officiant.

"Aya…" he looked deeply into her chestnut brown orbs.He was just focusing on her and forgetting the rest of the crowd. "... honestly I'm not prepared for this and I'm not really good at this." Again with his weird scratching the back of his head mannerism. Oh how she finds that cute about him. "What I can say is, you've changed me alot without me noticing. They call me Ice Prince for being insensitive, for not caring of other people's feelings, but with you had that changed. I never thought I would be this cheesy nor I would cry especially over a girl, but here I am, I did both things in a matter of an hour." People laughed at that statement. "I love the way I am changing and it's all because of you my love. I'm not letting you go wherever this takes us. Not ever," he kissed the top of her hand as he ends his speech.

"Way to go Otochi! You're the man!" Tatsuki shouted which made the crowd laugh and making the atmosphere a little lighter after all those dramatic speeches. The ceremony continues on.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I now present you Mr and Mrs Rei Otohata." the officiant finally announced. "You may now kiss the bride." he added. Rei raising the veil while wearing his popular smirk.

"You're blushing," he said.

"That's the just the make up," she answered with her head bowed.

"No, you really are red," he sounded concerned and urgent causing her to look up to him. At that very moment Rei seized that opportunity to kiss her, sealing their forever. Aya was surpsied but eventually recovered and responded to the kiss. Sweet and passionate as they immersed themselves into this feeling of excitement of what lies ahead of them.

"You ready?" Rei asked his beautiful wife.

"I am," she responded with a smile. He took her hand and about to walk but she stopped her. "Rei,"

"hmm?" he asked looking back to her.

"I love you."

"I love you," and again he kissed her.
