Chapter 4: Villa's Elegance
"Miss Ayano, your friends are here" one of the Kannagi maids said as Ayano was checking if all the things she needs are packed well. "Oh, I'll be right there" she replied. She hurriedly walked out of her room to see Yukari and Nanase waiting for her. "Oh! I thought you guys won't see me off!" she said with teary eyes and hugged her best friends. "Of course we'll see you off, silly! You're our best friend!" Yukari said cheerfully. "We'll gonna miss you, Ayano. Take care of yourself alright?" Nanase said as they broke their hug. Ayano nodded smiling. "You guys should visit me every time you like, okay?" she said. The two nodded. "Ayano, I want you to have this" Nanase said and hand over a quilt to her. "Aww. Did you made this Nanase?" she asked as she examined the quilt with her hands. Nanase nodded. "Share that quilt with your baby, okay?" She nodded and said "Thank you so much!". "I made something for you, too" Yukari smiled as she showed Ayano a scrapbook. "Wow! A scrapbook?" Ayano smiled as Yukari gently handed it to her. "It has our friendship memories in there, so take time to read it" Yukari said smiling. "Thank you, Yukari, Nanase, for these gifts" Ayano said with her held back tears. "I know it's just for a couple of months, but I'm gonna terribly miss you guys!" she said and hugged her best friends again.
"Sorry to interrupt you guys, but we need to get going" Kazuma said politely. "Alright, take care of her" Nanase said with a smile. "My pleasure" Kazuma replied with a sincere smirk. "See you soon, Ayano!" Yukari waved as she and Nanase walked outside the Kannagi Mansion. Ayano waved back with a smile on her face.
"Hey, bro. Take care of Ayano and my future niece or nephew, okay?" Ren said with a cute-face. Kazuma took a deep sigh. "Of course, I will! You're the hundredth person who told me that already. Geez" he said scratching the back of his head. Jugo walked beside Kazuma. "Kazuma, she is your responsibility from now on. Remember what I told you, my boy" he said with an authority in his voice. "I know, Uncle Jugo. Trust me, I won't fail you" he said with confidence and assurance in his voice.
The young couple gets in the car along with two maids to help them in the villa. The drive was practically long for Ayano, and she spent the whole of it sleeping in Kazuma's arms and every time a strand of hair covers her face, he gently brushes it off and put behind her ear. The two maids can't help but to blush by the sweetness of the couple before them.
*At Kazuma's Villa*
"Wake up, Ayano. We're here" Kazuma whispered into her ear. She gently opens her eyes. "Hm… Already?" she said as she got off the car. "Uh. My head hurts, I didn't sleep long enough" she said while massaging her head. Kazuma put his arm around her shoulders to guide her steps. He smirked. "I can't believe you. Wasn't your sleep enough? You were asleep the whole drive!" he said with laughter in his voice. Ayano smiled. "It must be because of my pregnancy" she said looking at his eyes. He met her gaze and smiled gently. He kissed her forehead. "You must rest immediately, once we get inside" Kazuma said. Ayano nodded.
She examined the whole villa. "Whoa… Do Kazuma really own such enormous and elegant villa?" she thought to herself as they walked the front garden path. It has a large marble fountain of angels at the center and surrounded by beautiful flowers of all colors. Nearby is a gazebo with glass on its furnishing. Kazuma turned his head to look at Ayano. "What's with your face?" he asked with a smirk. "I never thought you own such wonderful villa" she replied smiling. "It's not my own. It's yours as well" he said and kissed her hand which is entwined with hers. She blushed a bit and gave him a smile.
As they near the main door in the mansion, at her final step, Ayano almost slipped. Thanks to Kazuma who immediately caught her in his manly arms. He looked at her with worried eyes. She pulled a weak smile and said "Don't give me that look! I'm perfectly fine". He gave her a disapproving look and carried her, bridal style. "H-Hey… Put me down" Ayano protested. "Just relax. I can't let you be tired, you carry our baby. You should take care more of yourself" he said sincerely. Ayano bit her tongue and blushed. He smirked as he started to walk in, with Ayano in his arms.
Ayano noticed how perfectly furnished the things inside the mansion are, from the main door until the hanging chandelier at the center of the living room. There are long royal looking curtains in every window. "I guess it's hard to wash those kind of curtains" Ayano thought and she sweat-dropped. They started to go upstairs. The mansion's stairs has two ways, the ones like in the palace in some fairytales. Kazuma turned to his left and opened a door leading to an enormous room. He gently laid Ayano on the bed.
He kissed her forehead, "Get all the rest you need". She nodded "Thanks". She smiled and closed her eyes. She heard the door gently closed and Kazuma was out.
She opened her eyes and took a deep breath. She sat on the bed and smiled at her view outside the window: the ocean. She caressed her tummy. "Everyone is excited about you. I promise your dad I'll take more care for the both of us. Be healthy, okay?" she said with a smile. She lay on the bed again and drift to sleep.
