Aces
Chapter Two: Anju, the Ace of Diamonds
I'm rich.
If I'm not rich now, I will be soon.
But I'm definitely rich in love. I'm so happy right now, I feel like I'm walking on air and that there's diamonds in my eyes. Oh Kafei...I was so afraid to get so involved because my mother warned me he was a rascal. But a rascal would never be so sweet or caring. I always overheard his friends making fun about being too serious about me and I was so worried I was making Kafei out to be too soft or...a sap. I'm so glad I was wrong...and that mother was wrong as well.
My best friend, Cremia, was also very supportive after Kafei proposed, but she seemed so eager to return back to the ranch...that hurt a little. I wanted her to stay and help me plan the wedding. But Kafei took me in his arms and kissed me...and I lost all sense of my surroundings.
Kafei is the son of the mayor. I cannot believe my luck that such an important man wants to marry me. This is what every girl dreams of: a man with such importance and status begs for their hand in marriage.
Er, perhaps begging is putting it a bit too far.
Still, I feel like I'm living a dream. I'm going to be Kafei's wife. And I'm certain he will try to become the mayor in his father's stead one day, which will put me into a higher position in Clock Town.
I feel like a queen, even though I'm not.
Everyone in town seems so happy about our engagement (except that green haired woman whom Kafei calls his father's secretary, who always tried to hit on Kafei every chance she got). People would ask me when we want to get married, if I was with child, if I truly loved Kafei...I was shocked at how my status in town changed overnight. We got visitors to our inn and business was great, even on days when Clock Town was mostly empty.
Oh if only my dad was here...he would have been so happy to know I've been proposed to.
Kafei's a man who keeps his promises. He always had girls chasing after him, but he was polite with turning him down.
I know he will be the best husband ever.
