Everything went as planned. The wedding ceremony was bliss for everyone except the one's to be wedded. They both just went on with the flow showing the best of their acting skills trying to be happy. But the night wasn't even started yet. A bigger challenge was to keep themselves locked up with their feelings on the night everyone waits for their entire lives. The wedding night. That night is supposed to change your world forever. The bliss of being with someone you love on that day is unimaginable. It is a night you can never forget or neglect. Whether it was bad or good you always remember it. In their case, it was the toughest challenge of their lives.
Ren and Kyoko was standing outside his (now their) apartment. He quietly unlocked the door and both of them stepped in. All of his dreams of this day were crushed and he knew it but still it hurts.
Kyoko looked inside and didn't have enough strength to fight the tears. The house was decorated beautifully. Flowers; her favorites (rose and iris) were everywhere. Everything smelled fresh and beautiful. She started feeling special and she knew it was wrong to feel this way.
Ren looked at her after locking the door and was heartbroken when he saw her crying.
"Are you alright?" His words were barely audible.
Kyoko snapped. She looked at him with anger filled eyes. The aura around her turned black.
"Why did you do this?" Her voice was dark and sarcasm dripped from every letter pronounced.
"Did what?" On the other hand, Ren can't understand what she was so angry at.
"Why did you try to make it all so special?"
"I thought you would be happy" Kyoko's anger flared as she grabbed his collars and pulled him close. Tears still dripping from her eyes.
"How much I wanted it to be something I could forget. You don't know how much it pains to see all your dead dreams come alive when they were now nothing more than night mares. It is so difficult that I can't stand it and you think I would be happy? Did you see the happy faces of others? What would they feel when the will know that it was all fake? We are not marrying for the reason they think. It will hurt them and it hurts me. Can't you understand? This whole special thing is making it more impossible to endure. So please don't do this anymore. I am enough hurt." She broke into tears and left him.
Ren stood there in shock. He can't believe it. No matter what he does he always end up hurting her. Whenever he tried to make her happy, she gets hurt. He hit his head hard on the door.
"Why do I always hurt her? Why can't I bring her happiness that she deserves? Why does she always end up hurt? Why do I do it?"
He stayed there for some time mourning at his fate and her's. Then finally gathering some courage he went into his room and found her already dressed up and preparing the bed. He looked at the bed and a knot tied in his stomach. Kyoko took the extra pillow and was heading out.
He caught her mid way.
"Where are you going?"
"I won't sleep with you"
"We are married. It is not appropriate if I let you sleep alone"
"I don't have a choice"
"I have" He left her hand and took the pillows from her. He then went to the bed and took some more pillows. Aligned them in such a way that they were now forming a border in between the bed.
"You take the right and I'll take the left. I promise I won't do anything" Kyoko looked at the bed, thought over for a moment and then finally nodded.
"I'm going to take a shower" He took his clothes and left. Kyoko sat on her side of the bed and gently caressed his side.
"I love you so much. So much that it hurts me" She gently lay down. The bed had his scent. Tears rolled down and were soaked by the pillow. She quietly laid thinking about how her fate has played tricks on her. It all seemed injustice.
Ren came out from the shower and quietly lay down on his side. The bed shifted from his weight. Their backs faced each other. Both lay there the whole night trying to find some sleep but no avail. Both just kept thinking of their luck. They were lying on the same bed as the person they loved the most. So close yet so far away from each other. Can there be a bigger misfortune?
