Ch. 4
Life seemed to at last have brought hope to them once more. Everyone at the yard was content with themselves as they had once been.
Karen and Kai however, had to discuss to their parents about their relationship.
"I love your daughter with all my heart, sir" confessed Kai.
Gotz smiled "Dear boy, what can I say? You have always been part of this family and you have really earned our care and my daughter's love." Gotz picked his daughter high into the air.
"Dad!"
They all laughed at the moment including Karen who looked intensely into Kai's eyes.
That night a party was at its full at the bar as Karen danced happily. It was a celebration for the yard's great breakthrough.
"I am very happy for you, Gotz" said Duke handing him a colld drink to refresh the hot air that was forming in there.
Kai was suddenly pulled onto the dance by Karen who placed her arms around him securing her love so he wouldn't back out.
"Karen…"
They danced until they needed no more. Four am to be exact.
That night was spent like one that had previously been. There love flew as they filled themselves with passion for each other. Passion that had been hidden all this time. Passion that was now fulfilling their lives and merging their love into one amazing piece of beauty that was unbreakable in any sense.
Mornings are always cheerful when you have someone to be with. To love and to be loved by.
The yard was now better but still needed work which was Kai hard at the rise of dawn.
"Hey, love, sleep well?" he asked sweetly placing a quick peck on her lips.
"Let's just say… it was unforgettable" she pulled him into a deep kiss. Something more than just a simple peck.
Gotz smiled at their young way of life. Though Kai was a hard worker, he still had a long life ahead of him.
"You both plan it yet?" he asked cheerful handing Kai a bottle of water.
Karen looked surprise and curiously asked what he was talking about.
What am I talking about?… I'm talking about marriage"
What could they say? They had expected this day long now and it was finally at their disposal.
"I'm so nervous, Ann!" it was a hard moment for Karen as her friend, Ann, stood by her side giggling as Karen kept on pacing around the wooden church floor.
"What if…"
Ann placed her hands on her stopping her pacing for once "What if you don't hurry up, eh? You have less than ten minutes to finish, Karen"
Karen looked at the clock hanging by the door. An expression on her face told her she had just become more nervous.
Kai looked at a similar clock "Where could she be?"
Jack snickered "She probably ditched the guy"
Basil was not surprised to hear this from him "Jack…shut up"
Kai chuckled softly at Jack who was now in a grumpy mood.
The moment had come. Accompanied by her father, she slowly headed down the aisle thinking how much more happier could they be than this.
The last words were said and they both smiled "You may kiss the bride" Kai took Karen slowly then planted a long kiss as the audience cheered for their marriage knowing it was the most beautiful thing on earth.
Jack was not finished though, he was still hard on his plan to get back at Kai.
The mayor came up blocking his view away from Jack "You must be very happy, dear boy, ah the day I got married…that was the day, alright" Kai kept it simple and just smiled at his aged friend.
At last they were off to their new home in the vineyard. Though it wasn't a home yet, it would seen be as Kai had already started working on it along with the carpenters help who agreed to help him as a token of their gratitude. In other words, for making such good wine.
The days passed and it was time for yet another blast of shocking news.
Karen blushed as she looked at Kai "Is something wrong, honey?" he asked worried.
Karen sighed and approached him "I have to tell you something, love"
Kai placed his arms around her so she could trust him and he would help her out in everyway he could.
"Kai… we are going to be parents" she blushed harder
"Karen! How long… how long has it been? Is it a boy or a girl? What will…"
Karen hushed him with a deep kiss which he in the end gave himself into.
The town whole knew about the news by now, and Karen was persuaded to tell girls everything about it. Hence the fact she was about to be the first one in this generation to have a kid.
"I can't believe you, Karen, I am so happy!" Karen smiled as her friend jumped with joy "Can I be the godparent? Please?!"
Karen blushed as Ann begged "Oh alright, Ann, only if you promise not to keep jumping. You're making me dizzy"
Both girls laughed as they headed towards the yard.
Where you gals going? Oh, and I heard about the terrible news, Karen, pity of you to have a kid from such a low person, eh?" Karen turned around red in anger to Jack who was laughing at her like there was nothing more painful than what he had just said.
"What did you say, jerk?!" Ann had already come inches away from him and was now ready to defend her friend.
Then it happened.
Many times, moments like this result in violent ways. Nasty arguments and even some violence. But today, today something had happened. And it was between the two people who practically hate each other the most. Something that perhaps would sound crazy in a mad person's ear but was now the most warmth-filling thing anyone could see or feel. It was the feeling of love.
At first, they froze together locking their eyes not being able to feel nothing "I…I" that was the only thing Jack could think at the time as her yellow hair flew in the breeze making her more beautiful than what he thought all this time.
Ann was not anywhere far from this.
She herself had come into a trance with him "Jack…I am" he pressed his finger on her mouth as the got closer to her "Tell your brother… that I'm sorry for what I caused and that I will pay for all the things I did…"
Ann could only nod and do nothing else but feel the feeling grow bigger
"Sure… just…kiss me…"
They finally locked and Karen was the most shocked of them all. Jack, the new boy form the city, they guy who seemed he was the most hatred thing on earth, and the person who had just insulted her, was now kissing her best friend.
"Ann!"
The girl quickly turned around.
"This is not right! You hurt my brother!" she argued, yet another kiss came through them.
Karen walked closer but stopped. How could she interfere her friend's feelings for Jack? Its her life, after all, she knows what she must be doing. Though sometimes love can blind you of this things.
"This is not right, Ann!"
Her friend parted once more.
"No, Jack, you hurt me and my family… I can't…"
She stopped as she saw Jack get on his knees.
Please, Ann, don't do this to me! I know I have been wrong about the things I have done and said, but now you have showed me love. You've showed me what I had envied of Kai and Karen all this time. I ask of you please don't desert me now, Ann, I don't care about anything but you now, Ann, please…"
Ann felt her face grow wet and she jumped onto Jack's arms kissing passionately.
"…ok….I will just be going then"
Karen slowly paced way as a smile formed on her face.
