Unrequited Love

Chapter 22: Tamaki's Mother

It was breathlessly beautiful. The buildings, the scenery.

A city of romance.

Tamaki patted her head. "It's beautiful isn't it?"

She nodded sticking her head out of the car with eyes that were filled with wonder and excitement.

"You live in such a nice country Tamaki, why did you ever go back to Japan?" she asked him out curiosity looking back at him. He leaned back and folded his arms.

"My grandmother, do you remember? She wanted me to go and live in Japan in exchange that she would continue to support my mother and her medical finances" he said in a weary voice.

"You must have loved her a lot" she told him.

"She's my mother and I care a great deal for her, to the point that I would do anything to keep her happy" he said .

Haruhi smiled at him proudly. "To the point that exchange your own freedom to be with her and followed your grandmother "

"Yes" he said and gazed at her, "If I decided to stay here I would have two regrets"

Haruhi's smile disappeared. "What is it?"

"My mother wouldn't have a good life that she deserved and second" he caught her hand. "I wouldn't have met you"

Haruhi felt her body warm all over. Man, this boy knew how to please people...well sometimes..

After a few minutes they turned around a corner into a long path way.

Tamaki excitedly looked out the window, "We are here!"

Haruhi's own heart skipped a beat and followed his gaze. She was feeling anxious and nervous. A lot of questions ran through her mind.

Would his mother liked her?

Was she kind?

What would she say?

Tamaki noticed Haruhi's face going pale.

"Don't worry Haruhi. My mom she's really cool and kind. You will love her" he reassured her.

"I hope so" she muttered when suddenly she let out a gasp. At the end of the long path was a beautiful two story house sitting a big lawn. It was simple and cozy.

"Its so pretty" she whispered.

"Isn't it?" he said smiling.

She nodded at the beautiful country side home. It was hard to believe Tamaki Suou grew up in a warm home. She expected that he lived somewhere in the main city.

Moments later they were inside the house. Haruhi looked curiously around. It wasn't as big and luxurious as the mansions of the other Host Club members own or was it expensive and grand as Tamaki's own house.

It was rather warm and cozy, and full of antiques and pictures in each wall.

"Pretty" she replied as Tamaki led her to the living room area. There they were greeted by a man in uniform.

"Master Tamaki" he greeted warmly.

"Frederick!" he exclaimed giving the middle aged man a hug.

Haruhi smiled at them. Tamaki's face had been sparkling ever since they got off the plane. She knew that he too was excited to come home.

"Master Tamaki, welcome back home" he said returning his quick hug then his eyes reverted to Haruhi who was standing timidly right in front of him.

"This is my wife, Haruhi" Tamaki introduced proudly, "Meet Frederick, he's our butler"

The man gave her a bow. "Its an honor to finally meet you Lady Haruhi"

She smiled crookedly. The title was to much for her, "ah.." she raised her hands, "Call me Haruhi"

"Where's mother?" Tamaki asked glancing around.

"In the balcony, master" Frederick replied earnestly and summoned them to follow him.

"Really? Okay" he said happily catching Haruhi's hand. He stopped momentarily and glanced at her. "Are you all right? Your hand is awfully cold"

Haruhi stared at him, "Don't you get it? I'm nervous" she gritted.

He squeezed her hand. "Don't worry"

She nodded and took a deep breath. They were led to a glass door, it was half way open and a gentle breeze was blowing from outside.

"Madam, Master Tamaki is here" Frederick announced and smiled at Tamaki then left.

Tamaki gently pulled her outside.

There she was a woman sitting in a chair, her back on them, but Haruhi could see her long yellow hair dancing in the wind. There was a book in her hands.

"Mother" he replied.

Slowly she turned and Haruhi could not help but let out a small gasp.

She was so beautiful, a face of an angel with sparkling blue eyes and a smile that could launch a thousand ships.

Now she knew were Tamaki got his good looks. His mother was an angel.

"Hello Tamaki, I missed you" she said trying to stand up. Tamaki stopped her and instantly gave her a hug.

"Oh Tamaki" she replied hugging her son back then released him.

"Is this Haruhi-chan?" she asked looking behind him. He placed his arm around Haruhi's shoulders.

"Yes, this is her mother" he said.

"G-good morning madam" she stammered her face flushed and instantly she gave a bow.

"She's so pretty" Mrs. Suou replied happily. Haruhi's face went to a deeper shade of red.

"T-thank you" she answered not knowing what to say. She smiled at her.

"Tamaki kept talking about you" she told her.

"mom!" Tamaki protested looking embarrassed.

"Mrs. Suou, are you all right?" Haruhi asked out of the blue.

The beautiful woman looked at her curiously, "Me? I feel better. Why do you ask?"

Suddenly Haruhi felt Tamaki stiffened beside her.

"Tamaki said your doctor called and said you were not feeling well" she said innocently.

"H-haruhi!" Tamaki exclaimed. "I think that's not the time to---"

"Really? But I feel fine" Tamaki's mother replied smiling at her. "Thank you for asking"

"Then that was---"she stopped when Tamaki pulled her away.

"Hold on just a sec mom, me and my pretty little wife have to discuss something" he muttered with a nervous smile and pulled Haruhi away.

Mrs. Suou laughed. She was happy that their house was going to be lively again.

"Eyah!" she exclaimed as he led her to a study and closed the door. "You were lying! No wonder you didn't seem concerned for her.."she snapped.

"Haruhi..I-I just wanted you to come here..because I thought you wouldn't want to come here unless my mom's uh..really sick or something" he said reaching out for her hand.

She shook his hand away. "You could have at least told me! Don't go on concluding about what I think about" she replied angrily, "now you made a fun of me in front of your mother" she added in a bitter voice.

"I'm sorry..I..I didn't know.."he said looking down at his shoes.

"Until now you still don't know how to handle a relationship. I'm your wife, you have to learn to confide things with me" she said narrowing her gaze. "It's such a sick joke to lie about your mother being really sick"

She took a deep breath and got out. "I'm apologizing to her."

Tamaki watched her go.

Once again he screwed up. Maybe she was right he really didn't know how to handle a relationship.
