Eternal Love



"Some nights, like tonight, when I can't sleep I lay in bed, my husband next to me, and our child in his crib. I go back, back to when I was little, when I first met Takeru. The time I spent with everyone in the Digital World, my first kiss, and the day I was engaged. But I mostly think about all the time Takeru, and how he protected me."

~Flash Back~

I looked out to the balcony, and saw Takeru, staring at the stars, thinking. He had been very distant from everyone, including me.
"TK." I called from inside the appartment.
TK just stood there, staring at the stars, he wouldn't even look at me.
"TK why aren't you inside with everyone else?" I asked, very worried about my best friend, the boy I loved.
I had a crush on Takeru, sense he started going to our school, sense we first met. I never thought that he would feel the same way.
"I just needed some fresh air." he said, I knew he was lieing.
"Ohh." I replied, not knowing what to say so I asked him the first question that came to mind. "What's on your mind?"
He answered, "Nothing." then asked me the stupidest question known to man, " Why do you think that?"
I gave him the simple truth, "The way you you're so distant."
"I'm sorry I just have a lot on my mind." he relpied still not looking at me.
I walked onto the balcony looking at TK, thinking it was time to tell him how I felt about him. "TK..."
I couldn't finish, I was scared that I would destroy my friendship with him. I didn't want that to happen, my eyes filled with tears, so I did something that no one had ever done after he turned and looked at me...
"Takeru..."
We just stood there, looking into each other's eyes, and he said something I had been waiting to hear.
"Kari I love you." he blurted out.
I looked at him, hugged him, and told him what I was thinking, "Takeru I've been waiting so long to hear that." I broke down and cried.
"I've loved you for a long time." he said. "I thought that if I told you...we would lose our firendship."
I looked adt Takeru and told him the truth. "Takeru, I love you too. I have sense day one."
After I finally pulled myself together, Takeru and I stood on that small balcony, looking into each other's eyes. We slowly moved closer together, and we kissed. Not a kiss on the cheek between friends...a passionate, long, lover's kiss. We kissed for what seemed to be forever...as the snow silently fell on christmas eve.

~End Flash Back~

It's as clear as yesterday. I can remember it liek I remember my name. Even now, Takeru and I at age 25, we can still remember it like yesterday. I have been doing this a lot lately. Pondering why my life is perfect. I have two children, and my one and only love, my husband Takeru. As I watch him sleep, I go back to the day...the he poped the question...

~Flash Back~

TK and I had been seeing each other for over seven years. We were 20. We were at my parents house for a party. Everyone was there. All the digidesinted. Takeru had been acting suspecious lately, I knew he was planing something for today...in front of our friends our...family. We had all gathered in a circle remembering time in the Digital World. After about an hour and a half everyone was getting up and thinking about leaving.
Takeru stood up and said, "I would like everyone to stay an extra few minutes."
I was dumb enough to walk over and ask, "What is it Takeru?"
After everyone had gathered back around, Takeru turned to me, I was still standing by him the whole time, and got down on one knee in front of everyone. He stayed like that for a minute or so. Then he asked me the question that would change our lives forever.
"Kari, will you marry me?"
I stood there for a minute, my hands over my mouth and I said the only thing I could. "Of course I will Takeru."

As morning approches, I look at my husband. I think about my life. I love my husband and my child. I look at my husband again and notice he's awake. I feel very tired, and then...I was ready. My second child was on the way.
"Takeru." I said sleepily.
He replied, "I'm right here Hunny."
"It's time." I said, knowing he knew what I meant.
My love for Takeru and my childern is eternial.
