Chapter 2

As the silver light faded out Takiko was able to see the scenery in front of her. It was the garden of her house and her father was there standing on the wooden veranda. Einosuke Okuda was dressed in a grey kimono. Uruki put his lover down but still with one hand entwined with hers.

"I'm home, father" she smiled at the elder man in front of her.

"Welcome home" Einosuke replied with a smile.

"I have someone to introduce to you" she looked at her lover boy.

Uruki took a deep breath before walking closer to Takiko's father.

"I'm Limdo Roun, son of Temdan Roun. I've come here to ask your permission of marrying your daughter" he said.

"U-Uruki!, you said that you'll tell him about that during dinner" Takiko protested.

"Sorry, the words just slipped out of my mouth" he replied.

"Nice to meet you, Limdo san. I'm Einosuke Okuda" Takiko's father smiled at Uruki.

"Nice to meet you too, Sir" Uruki bowed politely.

"I'd like you to meet someone. This way please" Einosuke walked ahead followed by Takiko. Uruki explored his surroundings with a look of admiration. Inami once told him that Takiko was born and raised in a wealthy family. Although he was born as a prince he has never lived in the palace and most of the time he slept on natural bed (read: grass) so to live in a neat and huge house was one of his dreams.

"Uruki, we better be hurry because we don't have enough time until dinner"

Takiko's voice brought him back to reality. Uruki nodded as he increased his speed of walking. He arrived at a tatami mat room and his eyes caught the sight of a Buddhist altar. Einosuke and Takiko kneeled down in front of the altar.

"Mother, I would like to introduce the man that I love" Takiko said as he advised Uruki to come closer.

Uruki saw a picture of a smiling middle age woman at the altar. She has the same eyes with Takiko.

"Yoshie, you don't have to be worry about not being able to have grandchildren because, a gentleman will happily accept our tomboy daughter as his beloved wife" Einosuke added.

"Father!" Takiko protested. Einosuke laughed while Uruki blushed like crazy.

"I'll let you know when the dinner is ready. Enjoy your time together" he tapped Uruki's shoulder before leaving the room.

"I'm sorry for my father's behavior. He shouldn't have talked about having grandchildren in front of unmarried couple" she complained.

"I don't mind at all. After all, we'll be a married soon" Uruki replied.

"Dinner is ready" Takiko's nanny said from the front door.

"We'll be right there, nanny" Takiko answered.

"You know what, Takiko?" Uruki stretched his hand and helped Takiko stood up.

"Yes?"

"I wish I could meet your mother in person" he frowned.

"If she is still alive I believe that she will beam in tears and give you an arms crushing hug" Takiko chuckled. Uruki laughed as he followed her to the dining room.

"Let's have some sake, Limdo san" Einosuke raised a bottle of hot sake.

"Father!, Uruki is sixteen" Takiko protested.

"Well, I don't mind at all"

Uruki was about to take the sake when Takiko swapped his hand.

"Alcohol will attain permanent damage to the brain if you drink it during early age. You should wait until you are twenty" she explained.

"Okay then" Uruki took the green tea cup and raised it.

"To the new life and happiness" he said out loud.

"Kanpai!" Takiko and Einosuke raised their drinks.

"Einosuke san" Uruki called.

"You can call me father, Uruki"

"Don't tell me you drank some before we came" Takiko glared at her father.

"Two bottles in a row" the nanny answered.

"I can't believe you!" Takiko snapped at her drunken father.

"Err… father" Uruki repeated.

Takiko dropped her chopsticks.

"Yes, my son?"

"Do you mind if I stay here after marriage I mean…. I don't know the custom here but in my hometown a married couple should live separately from their parents. Of course I promise I'll find a job and as soon as I have enough savings I'll buy a new house for me and Takiko"

Einosuke smiled at the long haired boy in front of him.

"As you know, Limdo san. Takiko is my only child and since I don't have a son she will be the one who inherit my property when I'm gone so I don't think it's necessary for you to buy a new house" he explained.

"But…"

"Just promise me to show the face of my grandchildren as soon as possible"

"Father!" Takiko screamed in embarrassment as she flushed red.

Takiko sat on her bed with a white kimono while glancing at her feet.

"Am I wearing this right?" Uruki asked as he showed up also in white kimono.

"It's the opposite" she rose up and fixed his kimono. She was about to go back to her bed when he hugged her from behind.

"Takiko, I know I've asked you this question before but please let me ask you again" he whispered.

Takiko could feel the speed of her heart beating pace rose up.

"Would you be my wife tonight?" he asked.

Takiko closed her eyes and recalled everything Inami has told her. She knew that it might be a scary experience for her but she realized that there is no turning back since the love of her life is beside her right now.

"Make sure that you'll be gentle" she replied.

Uruki smiled then lean forward to lock his lips with hers. Their first kiss was soft and long as if they were checking each other's body temperature. He nibbled at her lower lip to ask for an entrance. She let out a weak moan as she allowed his tongue to explore the pink muscles inside her mouth. His right hand moved onto her waist as he undid the belt of her kimono. He slid the kimono off her showing her bare skin below. He pushed her gently to the bed and gave an open mouthed kiss at her neck then her shoulder. She could feel dampness on the lower part of her body. He moved his mouth lower and caught her right breast. He sucked like a hungry baby while his free hand massaged her other one. She screamed out in pleasure and he gave the same treatment to her other one. Uruki removed his own clothes hastily and Takiko gasped at the scenery in front of her.

"U-Uruki?"

"What?"

"I-I d-don't think it'll fit in me"

"Don't worry, it will for sure" he claimed

"But the shape and size was different from what I saw at the Mikodaishi hot spring" she protested.

"Sorry, Takiko. I'm afraid I can't hold back"

A drop of sweat fell on Takiko's cheek. She looked up and found Uruki's face in desperation. His bangs were all wet by his own sweat and he was breathing uneasily. Uruki plugged a finger inside her womanhood to check her readiness and she let out a lustful moan. He added one more digit and started to move his two fingers back and forth. She squealed as her back arched. He spread her legs apart and kneeled in front of her entrance. She screamed like there was no tomorrow when he took her in all force. He kissed away her endlessly falling tears and regretted for not be able to find another less painful way to express his love for her. Her sobs were soon replaced by lustful moans as she clung on his neck for dear life. She let got of the tight knot on her belly as her wall clamped on his manhood. He pushed deeply inside and emptied his hot seeds inside her before falling as if he was boneless on her side.

Years have passed and Takiko is finally cured from her lung disease because of the intensive treatment she took at the local hospital. Today she is lying at the hospital bed with Uruki gripping her left hand hard. The white hospital blanket barely covered her bulging stomach.

"Take a deep breath, Takiko" Uruki whispered.

She took a deep breath and was about to exhale when she felt an extreme pain stroke her body. She screamed in pain and messed up her breathing frequency.

"It's okay, Takiko. I'm on your side" Uruki caressed her hair.

"Uruki…I…" Takiko's body was swollen. She was fighting in the delivery for about ten hours.

"Shh…try to breathe properly, okay?"

"I-I'll try"

"Inhale"

She took a deep breath.

"Exhale and push as hard as you can"

She exhaled and clutched the bed sheet as she pushed with full force. Her knuckles turned white since she was clutching on it desperately. Takiko let out a relief sigh when she heard the crying voice of her newborn.

"Congratulations!, you have twin daughters" the nurse placed both of the baby on Takiko's chests.

"You did a good job back there, Takiko" Uruki placed a soft kiss at his wife's forehead.

"I won't make it without your help, Limdo" she replied as she cupped his face with one hand.

"Both of the babies have your beautiful eyes" he said as he glanced at both of the babies.

"They also have your breathtaking high-bridge nose" she added.

"I promise that I'll protect you and our children no matter what" Uruki said as he leaned forward to kiss his wife.
