Chapter 20
Wearing the beautiful and sparkling white wedding dress, she sat at the wedding boutique, waiting for her chauffeur. She went there to get ready and a limousine would pick her up, arranged by Akashi's father. The others would go first to the venue, and wait for her, including Akashi.
Her veil was already down, her eyes were closed, reminiscing what happened since she met Akashi and Hina. She experienced a lot of new things, everything was memorable, even though there were unwanted moments, everything led to where she is right now. She never regretted anything, but thankful to everything.
She opened her eyes, and her mouth gaped seeing her reflection from the mirror. A very different appearance of her that she never thought that would happen soon.
She was getting emotional that tears of happiness and nervousness would burst any minute.
"(F/n), the chauffeur is here" the owner of the wedding boutique, Hayama Naomi, called her preventing her tears to fall off
"Thank you, Naomi-san" she stood up and faced her
"Save the tears later"
"Eh?"
"Your voice just cracked, you are holding your tears, right?" Naomi sighed and (f/n) just couldn't help but laughed as she agreed on her "save it up for later. Rina-nee was also like that when she got married. I don't know what you feel at the moment, but save it for later so it won't ruin your make-up"
"I thought you are already married, Naomi-san"
"I haven't." She smiled at her and (f/n) was surprised that tears were running on her cheeks "he's getting married today"
"Naomi...san..."
"Well, it was just one sided love since I met him. He saved me lots of time, but he just saw me as the sister of his senpai, and a business partner. That was why when he called me and told me about the wedding and to help him, my whole world crash. He even asked me about the wedding dress."
"Somehow, I apologize"
"Oh, no, don't be. As I said, it was just my one-sided live for him." Naomi held (f/n)'s hand and flashed a genuine smile "when I heard from Koutarou that you just met him last year, I was frustrated. But when I saw you two together, it was then I realized, even though it was just last year, you two shared something special, because if not, Akashi-kun won't look at you with loving eyes."
(F/n) was doing her best not to cry, she was surprised that Naomi had a feeling towards Akashi. And at that moment, reality struck her that it wasn't just Naomi, but for sure there were other women, who felt the same way towards Akashi. Without thinking about others, she was indulge in bliss.
"(F/n), I apologize that I told you about my one-sided love. I didn't want you to feel burden about it. But then, I wanted to let you know, unlike me there will be other women, who will surely get agitated if they find out about him getting married. But don't be discouraged and felt bad. Akashi-kun chose you. Akashi chose someone worthy for him, and it's you, so be proud of it, okay?"
"Naomi-san, thank you very much! I-I'll make Seijurou happy. Thank you for telling me."
"Let's hang out sometimes. I wanted to know you more as well. Now then, the chauffeur is waiting for you. I'll see you on the reception hall later, with your change"
~
A perfect weather for the perfect day. It wasn't that cold even though it was winter, the sun was shining brightly, warm breeze was blowing.
Akashi was waiting patiently, and so the others thought. He was standing outside the chapel, waiting for the arrival of his wife. From the most eyes of his relatives and friends, they could see him being composed as always.
However, his close friends knew well that he was nervous inside, and his composure was already at peak.
Kuroko approached him, immediately chuckled as he stood next to him.
"They are saying that you sure can hold your composure in a day like this."
"Hmmm"
"I could see differently" Kuroko turned to him then turned towards the chapel's gate "are you excited? Nervous? Happy?"
"Mixed feelings"
"Don't you dare say regret"
"Of course not" Akashi chuckled as he put his hands on his pockets "I just wanted to start and end this ceremony, I wanted everyone to witness and see that she's mine, and I wanted her to be fully mine"
"I think everyone here already knows that she is yours alone. Honestly, we are thinking that in few months we'll see Murasakibara-kun's kid, then soon after, your kid" Kuroko chuckled then crossed his arms "Akashi-kun, Congratulations"
"Thank you, Kuroko. To think that this day would arrive. I'm looking forward when it's your turn, also Kise, Aomine, and Midorima. Ah, of course, also, Momoi"
"I think Momoi-san will be the next"
"..."
"Akashi-kun?" Kuroko curiously called him since Akashi became silence "What's wrong?"
"I thought that Momoi would end up with you, or Aomine."
"Ah, Aomine and I are just her friends. I am aware of her feelings before, but it was just an infatuation. We are still close friends, and I am happy that she finds someone who share deep bond with her, and she is happy for me as well."
Akashi sighed and chuckled dryly "but still, to think that Murasakibara ended up with (f/n)'s bestfriend, and if it goes smoothly, Momoi will end up with (f/n)'s other bestfriend. Interesting how everyone was related to (f/n)"
"And the lady herself ends up with Akashi-kun" Kuroko sighed in amusement
"Seijurou-san, Kuroko-san the wedding coordinator is asking you to go inside and stand-by" Sakura came out of the chapel and informed them
"(F/n) is not yet here"
"We received a message that she'll arrive soon." Sakura showed the messaged and grinned at him "I know you are starting to get worried, but don't worry, Nee-san will be here soon"
"I am not worried at all. I know she'll be here" Akashi retorted as he head inside
Sakura and Kuroko looked at each other and laughed. Kuroko then excused himself and followed Akashi inside.
~
Not long after, the limousine arrived and everyone went on stand-by. (F/n) get off the car and everyone outside the chapel had their mouth wide open, they couldn't see her face, because of the veil, but they could see her gorgeous appearance added by the wedding dress.
(F/n)'s father stood next to her, and she chuckled noticing his swollen eyes.
"Dad, it's contagious, don't cry"
"This is bound to happen, but why too soon? And to think that I still have one more"
"One more? You have three more"
"No, I am a doting father to my daughters. It's also conflict for Haru and Daisuke, but it couldn't be compared to my daughters. Another man would be getting my daughters... I couldn't help but cry"
"But, you talked to Seijurou, and knew that the man I chose is very capable, and an absolute one, right?"
(F/n)'s father nodded as he asked her to link her arm on his.
The ceremony started, and once again, he teared up just thinking that everything was becoming into reality. They already registered their marriage, but for (f/n)'s father, the reality was hitting him just now because he would be walking his daughter down the aisle.
(F/n) was nervous as well. Her eyes were looking straight towards the man that was waiting in front of the altar. He was wearing a white suit with red tie that (f/n) chose for him.
Akashi was looking at her, he was doing his best to control his emotion. He was so happy to see her, walking down the aisle with her gorgeous wedding dress.
"She's stunning" Akashi mumbled, making Kuroko, his bestman standing on his left, chuckled
"You are admiring your wife too much" Masaomi sighed as he was standing on the right
"It can't be helped. She's really gorgeous"
Akashi's palm felt so cold because of nervousness. He wasn't showing, but he was becoming nervous and emotional, as (f/n) was approaching the altar.
Once she stood in front of him, he smiled, even though he couldn't see much of her face because of her veil, their eyes were locked to each other.
(F/n)'s father held her hand, then handed it to Akashi, again tearing up saying his next words "she's my first daughter, my first princess. Seijurou-kun, we already talked about it, but, please take care of my daughter"
"I promise, I will"
~
The ceremony started and they kept it short and simple. They prepared their promise to each other before hand, making the ceremony continue smoothly.
"To have and to hold from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish 'til death do us part!"
And the moment Akashi was waiting,
"You may kiss the bride"
Akashi slowly removed her veil, and they both smiled at each other, finally clearly seeing each other's eyes. The tears made (f/n)'s eyes as if it was glittering, and Akashi could see that here eyes were becoming swollen.
As he wiped the tears on her eyes, he gently caressed her cheeks and planted a soft sweet kiss, sealing their promises.
"I love you" the two said at the same time, making them laughed, and hugged each other.
~(f/n)'s pov~
The ceremony successfully ended, and it's official now that I am married to Seijurou.
After taking pictures after the ceremony, we went here at the venue. Yes, the place Seijurou's grandfather booked for us. He was the one who booked this hotel, and even the chapel. To be honest, I thought he won't accept me, even Masaomi-san, but they attended our wedding, we even took family picture. Also, to my surprise, Grandfather asked Hina to sit next to them. It was clear that they accepted the two of us.
"Now, I am curious to what are you thinking, my dear wife, that you failed to notice my presence"
I turned around and to my surprise, Seijurou was already standing behind me, with Hina and both of them are having a teasing smile
"Sorry, I was in deep thought, I didn't notice that you are already here. You two should have said something"
I sighed as I stood and faced them. Once we arrived here, we greeted the people who were already here, then I excused myself since I needed to change, a 2nd wedding dress for wedding reception, a dress that wasn't more complicated.
"Mommy, everyone had arrived." Hina ran towards me and made a big wide smile "you are so pretty! Congratulations!"
"Thank you, Hina-chan! I can carry her, right?"
"No, you can't" Seijurou objected then he carried her "I'll carry her. You are wearing dress after all" I linked his arm to his and we head back to the reception hall
"Are we going to stay here tonight?"
"Yeah, grandfather booked the hotel for everyone to stay here after the wedding, well, I mean those who wanted to stay."
"Then, we can go home. I mean-"
"We don't have option though. For us, we need to stay here" Seijurou immediately interrupted me. I thought those who wanted to stay only "Even I wanted to go home, and enjoy the our first night there. But well, I'll wait."
"For me, I have an option" we turned to Hina and she made a big wide smile "I'll stay with Sakura-neesan tonight. She said they'll be staying here, so I'll sleep in her room tonight"
"Eh? You aren't going to sleep with us?"
"No for now, I'll stay with Sakura. Besides, daddy said we'll go to Disney, and we'll stay there" she again made a big wide smile as she hugged Seijurou "we are now family"
"Yeah, and our family will grow more"
~
As we entered the reception hall, we were warmly greeted with a big loud of applause. We were lead in front, and yes, some of them, I could see how confused they were why Hina was with us.
Dinner was served not long after, and we ate while watching a surprise video prepared by our friends. It was fun, and there were videos from our friends who weren't able to attend.
I was engrossed to the video, and my tears were falling, when suddenly, I heard a familiar voice on the video
"And, since you are doing that video, you already announced it to others"
I was right, the voice was from no other than Seijurou. So he knew about this video!
The camera turned to where he was, and Seijurou had his arms crossed, while leaning his shoulder on the door frame, and still having a deadpan expression. I turned to him and he was doing the same
"You really are no fun, Akashi-kun!" It was Satsuki's voice "we are doing it for your wedding! Why are you here?!"
"Why you asked? You are all being suspicious here in my company. Can't you do it somewhere else?"
"It's cold outside!" It was Kise's voice
"You know that others would know if you do it here"
"Don't worry, we have the whole floor" it was Satsuki's voice, and she assured him
I could see Seijuro approaching them, and his eyes were looking around "you sure realized, it's my company" there was silence on the video, but it brought laugh to us. Seijuro sighed and again shook his head
"If you knew, you shouldn't have gone here" It was Aomine-kun
"But since Akashi-kun is here already, why don't we let him do a video message for his wife as well?" it was Kuroko-kun who suggested the idea, but Seijurou still looked like he didn't want to
"I'll tell her myself."
"Akashicchi, you really are no fun"
The camera was then put on the table, but still it was taking video.
"Akashi-kun, can we ask why did you choose (f/n)-chan?" It was Satsuki's voice
"As her bestfriend, I am also curious" ahre? Takuto? So he was also there "you two met during high school, but funny how you two ended up together"
And because of what he said, the others asked what happened and instead of saying it in video, they just fast forward it, with text explaining how we met for the first time. When the video again played normally,
"You asked me why I chose (f/n)? She's (f/n)."
"Sorry, we don't get it" I could hear everyone's voice retorting from his response. My eyes widened though as I could see Seijurou's face turning red
"Well... how can I say it? It's like, she completes me. What I don't have, what I wanted, she has all of them. She gives me the warm family that I am looking for. She got closed with Hina too."
"When did it start?" Of course, Miho would be there too "that you felt that you love her?"
"I wonder when? It was just, I couldn't leave her alone, also, it irritates me when she got close to other men, and that includes you, Midorima and Aomine"
"Huh?!"
"When all of a sudden, without me knowing she became friends with Midorima, and she knows Aomine already. She calls you without honorific, and even exchanging messages" I couldn't help but laughed hearing him saying it, also while glaring at the two of them. I turned to him and he seemed embarrassed
"It wasn't my fault. I knew her during university"
"Same here, her parents are my patients. You were her boss, so it's understandable that we became close"
"No, Midorimacchi, it's weird that she casually call you"
"Anyways, all went well! Akashi-kun is married to (f/n)-chan, then Midorin is already going out with Sera-chan. We all understand now that Akashi-kun couldn't live without (f/n) on her side."
"Momoi, Kise"
"Hmmm?"
"Why is the camera still on?" I could see that Seijurou's froze when he looked at the camera, then he glared at them "Don't you dare include what happened here"
"We won't!"
"Then, delete it here and now"
"We'll not include it!" Kise retorted, but it flashed the words on the screen
"We're sorry, Akashi-kun! In exchange, we got people gossiping about you..."
I flinched and froze as I remembered that I was also asked the same questions
And I was right.
I was writing my vow that time, I remembered that well. Satsuki and Sera were there and said they just wanted to see my progress
"To think that (f/n) got Akashi-kun, I'm still curious how you got him" It was Satsuki who asked me
"I particularly don't know when he started to like me, but for me, I didn't have any interest towards him at first"
Not just in the video, but most inside the venue also gasped in surprised
"You are joking, right? I mean, you should have felt love at first sight if you see him! Also, knowing him as Akashi Seijurou, it was impossible not to think you would make him fall for you" Sera agitatedly asked me that time, yeah, she was anxious
"Well, I thought he is indeed handsome. But romantically, no. Also, I had never thought of that. My first impression of him, he was scary and intimidating. But I set those aside since at the first place, my job was to look after Hina-chan. Oh but he saved me multiple times, so I am thankful."
"And, who showed interest first?" Satsuki asked but Sera was the one who answered
"Seijurou did. She was doubting his intention even though he already declared it. Let's be honest, people might say it was so fast, but truth to be told, it took long since its Akashi Seijurou." When she said that, she snapped her finger and chuckled "if he really wants it, in just a snap, he could get it. It took a while for him, to get a grip of you"
I dryly chuckled, even the me on the video, as I remembered that it took months for him from the day he told me he just wanted me to be Hina's mom, until we officially started dating.
The video continued, and I could see that I was turning red
"I asked Miho-chan, why she decided to marry Atsushi-san. Her answer was, he completes me, it was so simple and very meaningful. But, thinking about it, I finally understood what's the real meaning of those words. I mean, we are able to live for how many years, we think that we are fine living that way. For me, having relationship is normal, but I was so bad with the guys I met, so I thought that it was fine if I don't get married, since I have my family. But then when I started going out with Seijurou, I started thinking of the future, in which I never had before. It is like, all the love that I received before was insufficient. I wanted more love, not from others, but from Seijurou, and more from our own family. For me, he completes me for giving me the love that I am seeking, the family that I wanted. Anyways, as I said, Seijurou completes me that if he disappears, I don't know what will happen"
I feel embarrassed watching this video. Now thinking about it, the two were teasing me after. As I was so embarrassed with the video playing, I felt Seijurou's hand on mine. I turned to him and his smile was a genuine smile of assurance. Ah, I am really glad that I fall in love with him.
