AN: I'm so sorry for not updating in such a long, long time. I was busy with my personal life.

The story so far is that Yai finds out that she is engaged to Chaud b/c their fathers want to unite their business for a better one. It's a lot of trouble for the two to get along. The two share their first dance. Since it took me so long, I'll make it four years ahead so they can get married. (Yai-20 and Chaud-24)

Family Honour

Chapter six.

Wedding day?

Yai gasps, hanging up the phone covering her mouth. I dailed his number instead of Melyu's. Please don't call back. Please don't call back. Yai panicks, pleading in her mind. She exhals, after the phone doesn't ring. Then, it rings bring the youth into a panic. It's him.

"Hello, this is the message box for 'Yai Ayano'. Please leave a message after the tone. beep. beep." Her message operater answers.

"Hello, Yai. I know you just cannot get enough of me."

"Why you..." Yai growls, squeezing her phone in her hand.

"I love you too hun. But I have to work right now. I'll be by to tuck you into bed later."

Yai presses her thumb on the speaker and yells into the phone. "I don't need you to come tuck me in, you big jerk." She hangs up the phone, knowing deep down he is just smiling that he got her to pick up the phone.

Chaud hears the dail tone, smiling that his young bride-to-be will make is life worth living for as she will keep him on his toes. He silently wondered, pushing back on his chair. His mind drifts off to the children they will have and the grandchildren they will have. He smirks, shaking his head to dismiss those thoughts. "I have to get back to work." He leans forward to type on his computer. His eyes glance at the photo of their first dance four years ago.

"It seems the little duckling grew into a lovely swan." He felt anxious to marry her as she didn't have that childhood look, yet she still had her temper. He could handle her temper as he always out-spoke her with calling her 'Miss Big-forehead'. He slightly chuckles at the anguish expressions that she gave him. Then, his mind slips to a memory where they were alone in the elevator. He believed she followed him there when she was just there cooling off by drinking strawberry milkshake.

"I cannot wait for tomorrow when we will say 'I do'." He resumes to type a thoughtful vow that he would annouce the entire croud tomorrow.

Yai sits down on her bed, staring up at her ceiling. Tomorrow, I will no longer be a single woman. Tomorrow, I will be a married woman. She combs her blonde tresses behind her ear. "I guess, I should be happy. I am going to make Father really happy." This is the moment I have dreaded those last four years of my everyday life. I have to follow through or risk of being disowned. "I will learn to love him. I am sure I will."

The next day:

Yai is standing outside the church, re-thinking her motives. "I have no choice." She sighs, closing her eyes. "I have to follow through with the union even if I am terrorfied."

"Yai." A deep voice said, walking up to her. He rests his hands on her shoulders. "I know this is hard but try to understand. This is the day that we have all been waiting for."

Yai looks over her shoulders, sadly at her father. "Yes, I understand. I will not let you down." She said, feeling his lips touch her forehead.

"Thank you, Yai. You do not know how much this means to me."

I know how much it means to you. Yai thought, nodding her head as her father left for inside to arrange the scene for the wedding. Yai sighs, combing her tresses behind her ear.

"Miss Big-forehead." A deep voice said, wrapping his arms around her waist and rests his chin on her shoulder blade.

Yai makes a tsking sound, turning her head from him. "What do you want Chaud? Can't you see I'm busy?"

He frowns at his bride-to-be is upset. He releases her from his hold as he circles around her to grab hold of her hands. "Yai, I know I am not the perfect man for you and you are not the perfect woman for me."

Yai opens her mouth to counter-attack his insult. She felt his warm fingers on her lips to silence her for a while longer.

"I will work very hard to make your dreams come true." He lowers his head, hiding his flushed face. "I want to make you happy." He lowers his head down to hers.

Yai turns her head from him. "Didn't you know? It is bad luck for the groom to see his bride before the wedding, Chaud."

"My apology, Yai. I didn't know." He lifts her hand to his lips. "I look forward to tucking you into bed."

Yai felt shivers run up her spine at the sensual voice he used. "Chaud, what is wrong with you?"

Chaud doesn't answer, walking away from her. He places his hands in his pockets, ignoring her calls.

"Chaud, answer me." Yai yells, running after him. As she places her hand on his shoulder. He swirls around grabbing both of wrists. "Chaud?" Her brown eyes widen at his strange behavior.

His dark blue eyes gazed deeply into her fearful brown eyes. "I love you, Yai Ayano." He told her, releasing her and turning around to walk away. When did I fall in love with a third rate heiress?

"Chaud?" Yai whispers, watching him disappear from her sight. She didn't know what to make of the mature Chaud that would call her 'Miss Big-forehead' in those youthful days. When and how did Chaud fall in love with me? She wondered.

An hour later. (Sorry, never been at a wedding only watch it from movies.)

The bells ring as the groom and bride run out the doors to their white limo. Chaud opens the door for his newly webbed wife. Yai stops before entering the limo, having her back to the crowd. She tosses up the boquet of flowers into the air and the lucky girl was her good friend, Melyu. Lan and Melyu exchange looks and slightly turn away with rosy cheeks.

Yai waves to her family and friends as she enters into the limo. Chaud casually waves his hand to the crowd as he enters the limo, closing the door. A few youngsters chase after the limo as it drove off down the streets of town.

Yai and Chaud look at each other as they lost their young pursuers. They stared at each other for quite awhile.

"I still adore that big forhead of yours." He teases, brushing her blond tresses from her forehead to peck a kiss on her forehead. "I love you, Yai."

"I-I love you,too. I am sorry that I was so afraid." Yai bashfully admits for the first time. She leans her head up to his face. Her lips met his for a split second. "Chaud, when did we fall in love?"

"We feel in love when we first danced. At least, that is when I fell in love."

"I guess, I was just shy to admit my feeling until you admited first."

He places his curled finger on her lowered chin, lifting her face up to meet his eyes. "It's alright, Yai. I was nervous, too." He licks his lips, anxiously, inching closer to her. "Then, I saw how wonderful you look right now and I know everything will be alright. We are both from rich families."

Yai nods, allowing his hand to rest behind her slender neck. She watched him in closer to her face. She closes her eyes as their lips met in a passionate kiss. This is my family honour.

AN: I know it was kinda rushed but what can I say. At least, I completed it with a happy ending. I could have made it into a sad ending but then again that wouldn't be listed as romantic, right? Okay, this is the last chapter. enjoy. bye bye.
