Last chapter of the story. I hope I did ok.
Every story, I have ever read, has a happy ending. Well… I guess not. Most of the stories I read don't. They have a witty, mildly humorous ending. So… every story as an ending, of some kind. But what if a story never really had a beginning. I guess the end is every second that story is… not beginning. I just make up stuff to make since in my own mind. I try to justify everything.
Like, what I'm about to do. I keep telling my self that it is for the better. I'm in the right. But under the surface, just a little bit, I can't help but think, this isn't right. I can't help but think that I should not be doing this. Kedzie disserves better than this. Eliza disserves better than this. Seto disserves better than this. I disserve better than this. But I want this, I need this. They will understand. I hope that they do. I couldn't live with my self if they didn't. I love my family. I love Kedzie and I love Seto. And I love… my wife… Eliza.
My thumb ring. Eliza was barred with the same ring, our promise rings. They told us that we should take jewelry off. But we left it all on. Her thumb ring and engagement ring. She didn't ware a lot of jewelry. I have my wedding ring and the thumb ring. So now, I play with them. I'm still not sure about this. But… I have to. I have to… I love her more, than she will ever know. I love them both. But I can only love so much, there is a point in time. When I give and give and give and get nothing. Can't I have anything for my self? I have to do this for my self… something for my self.
Mokuba took off his thumb ring, his promise ring. He took out a silver chain and strung the ring on it. He put the necklace around Kedzie's small neck. He kissed the small girl on the fore head.
"I love you Kedzie." He whispered to her in her sleep. So beautiful. I never want her to grow up. But I know it will happen. My Kedzie. He stood up and walked out of her room. Taka was standing at the end of the hall, waiting for him. Seto was on the other side of the hall, glaring at Taka.
"Well, is that it?" Seto asked, looking at Mokuba. "Is that the end?"
"No Seto, its not. This is only the beginning." Mokuba said, Takings Taka's hand. Seto frowned. "Don't be like this Seto. It's for the better, I promise you this."
"But Eliza…"
"Seto, she is part of my past. Taka is my future."
"What happened to Kedzie? Have you forgotten about her all together?"
"No, I've never forgotten about her. And I never will." He shook his head. "Tell me Seto, will you bless this marriage?" Mokuba asked his brother. He looked to his feet and walked away. "I don't need it. I'm an adult."
"It will be ok Mokuba." Taka said. "I don't want you to forget about Eliza, and I certainly don't want you to forget about Kedzie. I know that you love them both so much, and I would never ask you to place me above your own daughter. And I hope that I can be her friend."
"I know you will be." He kissed her. "I love you Taka." He was happy. He was very happy. "Only the beginning." He whispered in her ear.
The End
