Epilogue
[Nanba's POV]
5 years later…
I can't believe I'm seeing myself in this state. After that day I saw her under the rain, I just can't take her off my head. I thought it was just one of the games I usually play with my girls but here I am. After so many quarrels and cool offs with her, getting seriously tied up around her delicate little fingers was the least that I expected but this had always hunted me in my dreams.
Ding-dong-ding-dong…Those are the wedding bells chiming. All my life I never thought of hearing that in my own wedding. I never thought I would be wearing this black tuxedo and be presented in front of the altar with a beautiful woman in a white gown, my bride.
"Nanba Minami, do you take Izuumi Yuukia s your lawfully wedded wife?" The priest asked. I looked straight into her eyes, grinning slyly.
"Yes father." That was a vow I would never break.
"Izuumi Yuuki, do you take this man as your husband?" The priest asked her. I couldn't understand what her eyes meant, I never did. She had always masked it but what I know is that she never had those remorseful lamenting eyes that she once wore.
"I know that I'm getting tied up wit a playboy, a narcissistic one and those qualities are the worst qualities a man could ever have. For they lead to other bad qualities." It surprised us all. Why did she say that? But I know this was coming, this was going to happen. I had felt it. We shouldn't have push through with this. "But I love him for who he isn't and who he is. I love his imperfections. I love my narcissistic ladies' man because I know that from now on I'll not only be his number one but also his ultimate love. And yes, I'll take him as my husband." She was the most beautiful bride in the world, the only lady that has locked this man's heart.
"I now pronounce you man and wife. You may now kiss the bride." I kissed her passionately; it was warm and comforting.
"Finally I own you all to myself." She smirked.
"You've always owned me." I carried her out of the church where a carriage was waiting for us. I had always been hers and she had always been mine. Forever we will stay together.
[Flashback] The past five years…
Uncle Umeda had called the police and the hospital as soon as he came to the Izuumi residence and they had responded fast. The location uncle gave them was precise. When Yuuki closed her eyes she just passed out and she woke up two days after she had been tended. I never left her. I wanted to be the first person to be there when wakes up. I was scared that if I left her I'd lose her.
"Yuuki…" I whispered into her ears. "I love you." I kept repeating that everyday, hoping that once I say it she'll wake up. Finally she did.
Nakatsu's corpse was brought back here in Japan and though it was painful Yuuki was able to recover with the help of the people around her. I couldn't believe I am grieving before his grave together with his ex-girlfriend and my present girlfriend, Yuuki.
"Adios Mi amore." She finally let go of him.
We soon found out about Ashiya's real gender and she had to migrate back to California. Now I understood why Yuuki and she had been so close with each other. It was purely friendship and it became deeper now that Sano and Ashiya are together, building their own family.
Then Suji finally let go of Eufy, accepting the fact that Yuuki has killed that side of her. It was a lost but Suji knew he couldn't do anything about it anymore. He migrated to Paris, where he found a new talent and a new love that would finally reciprocate him.
So many had happened through out the five years but what is important to me now is our present and our future together.
[End of Flashback]
"For the past five years many things changed." Yuki and I stood at our porch watching the dark skies. "People had gone on with their lives." Then it rained hard, the air became cold and still. I wrapped my arms around my wife's waist and pulled her closer to me, out faces near each other.
"I don't care about them, all I care is you and out baby." I smirked. It has been five months since our wedding day and I'm proud to say Yuuki is carrying our first baby.
"I know you're head over heels crazy about this hot pregnant supermodel." She teased me with that sly smile. She never changed.
"Very much." Slowly, our faces came closer each other. Just inches away when all of a sudden…
"Onee-san! Let's play!" Sai came out of nowhere, all giddy and animated. Aunt Rin and oka-san had decided to live together at the resort, leaving Sai at our care. He's growing to be a fine handsome wise man just like how I met his father.
The two tan into the rain. Once more I saw her under the rain but this time, the remorse has perished. Under the rain she was happy.
Mi Numero Uno, Mi Ultimo Amore. Yes she is my number one, my ultimate love.
"Yuuki! Sai! Get back here. The two of you will get sick with that." But the two won't just listen; they were enjoying the rain and I had joined them.
This house will forever be filled with laughter…
