Chapter 13 One month to go

Kakero had been acting a little strange but it was pretty normal, he was jealous. He had fallen in love with Tomoyo and he wasn’t able to hide it. He was pacing around his room thinking about everything and how much he hated things with her had to be like this.

“Damn it!…” he said throwing a pillow to the window.

He was angry… with his father for treating Tomoyo in a horrible way, with life for making things the way they were and most of all with… Eriol Hiiragizawa as he knew that Tomoyo could never love him the way she loved Eriol.

“I have to do something… she will be mine…” he said rushing out of his room to get the phone.

At the Daidoujii Manor…

“Mistres…” said a maid coming into the living room.

“Yes?” said Sonomi.

“You have a call…”

“Who is it?”

“It’s Mr. Shisey, from the bank.”

Sonomi rolled her eyes and then looked at her daughter.

“This man…” she said standing up and leaving.

Tomoyo just shook her head with a smile remembering the day she had spent almost the whole morning in the bank with him… and also remembering that thanks to that she had been able to speak to Eriol again. She missed him although she had seen him a few day earlier. She went back to her reading when another maid entered the room.

“What is it Ria?”

“Miss… I’m sorry for the interruption but you have a package…”

“A package?”

“Yes… there is a man outside asking for you.”

Tomoyo got up wandering what this was about. She opened the door and found a young man standing with a hand computer.

“Good morning. Miss Tomoyo Daidoujii?” he asked in a very kind way.

“Yes.”

“Bring it!” he shouted towards the van which was parked behind him.

Tomoyo’s eyes widened when she saw what they were delivering. The biggest and most beautiful flower bouquet she had ever seen in her life. She felt a lump in her stomach as the first name which appeared in her head was… Eriol. The bouquet was so big that two men had to help to get it into the house.

“Please sign here miss.” He said handing the computer to her.

Tomoyo signed and just kept staring at the bouquet.

“Oh…” he said turning around and getting something from his pocket. “This came with it.” He said hanging Tomoyo a small envelope.

“Thank you…” she said taking it and closing the door.

“This man… I don’t know what to do with him this time he-… oh…my…goodness…” her jaw dropped when she was looking at the bouquet. “What is this?” she said looking at Tomoyo.

“They just delivered it…” said Tomoyo reading the card.

“Who is it from?” asked her mother looking at the card.


My dear Tomoyo:

I’m sorry about the way
I reacted yesterday. I hope
this can show how much
I care about you,
please forgive me.


Kakero Sanjoin


“Oh Tomoyo… how sweet!” said Sonomi with a hand in her chest. “You truly are lucky for having such a wonderful fiancé.”

“Yes…” said Tomoyo with a sad smile on her face looking at the card.

Sonomi looked at her daughter’s face and noticing her sadness she took her hand.

“Why don’t we have lunch together today?”

“But… what about Mr.Shisey?” she said surprised.

“Oh! He will have to handle everything alone, now let’s go.” She said grabbing the car keys.


Kakero was walking and thinking about everything and nothing.

“I hope it works…” he said still a bit troubled.

“Are you all right?” said Yuki looking at him.

“Hello, Yukito.” Said Kakero walking away.

“You look worried.” He said tying to stop him.

“I’m all right…”

“fine…” said Yuki walking in the opposite direction.

Kakero then stopped feeling a bit guilty, Yukito had been the only one who had been real nice to him even when the other didn’t like him that much. He then turned around.

“I’m sorry…”

“It’s ok…” said Yukito smiling. “You don’t have to talk about it if you don’t want to.”

“It’s… Tomoyo…” he said dropping his head.

“What about her?”

“She’s been acting strange…”

“Strange?” asked Yukito approaching him. “What do you mean?”

“That guy… Eriol Hiiragizawa, have they always be that close?”

“Well, it’s a complicated story.” He said smiling at the memory. “They met almost 9 years ago. They were eleven years old. He came from England as an exchange student and they became friends since the beginning.”

“Have they ever been… well… a couple?”

“No… he was too much of a coward and she… well, she’s been always too proud.”

Kakero had still a sad look.

“I must go…” said Kakero turning around. “Yukito…”

“What’s wrong?” asked Yukito.

“I… are they still… in love?” he asked not looking at him.

“If she was… she wouldn’t have accepted to marry you.”

“Yeah… right…” he said walking away.


Tomoyo and Sonomi were having a great time at a restaurant they loved. They were laughing at past memories and remembering good times.

“Yeah… those were good times.” Said Tomoyo looking at the table.

“You used to smile more.” She said taking her cup of coffee.

Tomoyo smiled at her.

“Life was a lot easier then… dad was with us.”

Sonomi put her cup on the table and took Tomoyo’s hands.

“Tomoyo look at me…” she said looking at her in the eyes. “ I know these have been difficult times for you and I also know that there is something that has you very anxious and nervous, I can see it everyday, you are carrying a great burden.”

Tomoyo’s eyes started filling with tears as she pressed tightly her mother’s hands.

“Hunny…” she said wiping her tears. “I know you must have your reasons for not telling me what is happening to you and even if you’ve decided to fight this on your own… you know I’m you mother and I’m worried about you... I wish I could help you…”

Tomoyo took a deep breath.

“I’m ok mom…” she said smiling. “It’s just that there too many things happening and… the wedding and…”

“Hunny… I know Kakero seems to be a good man but are you sure this…” she said taking Tomoyo’s hand pointing her engagement ring. “is really what you want?”

Of course it was. She wanted her family to be safe, she wanted Tatsunaga to be easy with them at least for some time, she wanted to protect them and most of all…she wanted Eriol to be safe.

Tomoyo smiled at her mother.

“I haven’t been more convinced about anything in my life.”

Sonomi smiled back at her daughter.

“Did I ever tell you how I met your father?”

Tomoyo shook her head.

“It was a long time ago… when we were at school. Your father was five years older that me, I was in the middle of my high school and he was about to graduate from college.”

“Let me guess, you were involved in the college with some project or something…” she said as she knew her mother very well.

“well, you know I’ve always liked to organize events and such… I was helping to organize an international congress at the college. I was the only high school student helping so everyone treated me like a little girl except for your father; he was really harsh on me…”

Flashback

People were like crazy going back and forth, bringing some things, moving others and a young lady was sitting on a chair trying to catch some breath.

“hey kid come on!” said a young handsome man grabbing her arm and making her stand. “There’s a lot of work to do, there’s no time for your glass of milk and afternoon nap.”

Sonomi just glanced at him.

“Come on Daidoujii, give the girl a break!” said another guy approaching them. “She’s been working hard.”

“Not hard enough Yakao…” said Daidoujii looking again at Sonomi.

“I’ll go and get the guest register list.” She said a bit irritated walking away without looking back.

“Hey kid!” said Daidoujii looking at her. “Please don’t hate me.”

Sonomi just rolled her eyes with a smile and walked away.

“Be careful Daidoujii” said Yakao grabbing his friend’s shoulder. “You can make us think you’re falling for the kid.”

Daidoujii just smiled and pat his friend’s back.

“Let’s go and finish this…”

It was late that night and the only persons who had stayed at school were Sonomi and the Philosophy teacher who were finishing some last details for the congress.

“Well miss,” said the professor cleaning his glasses. “I guess everything is just ready for tomorrow.”

Sonomi sighed relieved. She left the class room after saying good night to her teacher and started walking towards the school entrance.

“well, well… I must say I’m surpised!” said Daidoujii who was coming out of a classroom.

“Are you following me?” asked Sonomi teasing him.

Daidoujii smiled at her.

“Do you want me to drive you home?”

“Are you being nice to me?” she asked surprised.

“No.. no no, I just couldn’t carry on my conscience if I let a kid go home by herself at this hour.” He said smiling.

“I can take care by myself…” she said turning around.

“Please…” said Daidoujii grabbing her hand making her turn around.

Sonomi looked at him in the eyes.

“I’m not going to hurt you kid.” He said smiling.

Sonomi rolled her eyes and nodded. They arrived to her house and he walked her to the door.

“Sleep well kid” he said waiting for her to get in the house.

“Thanks for the ride”

“You are so predictable…” he said with a smirk.

“What do you mean?”

“I knew that with a little bit of teasing you would work harder.”

“Oh really?” she said with a hand on her hip. “so you are a know-it-all, huh?”

“I know many things?”

“Like what, for example?”

He smiled and looked at the floor, then he raised his head to look in Sonomi’s eyes.

“I know you’re going to marry me.”

Sonomi thanked that it was dark because she must have blushed like a tomato.

“wh…what makes you think that!” she said in an intent to sound angry.

Daidoujii just shrugged his shoulders with a smirk and then left.

End of Flashback

“I can’t believe it!” said Tomoyo laughing.

“We got married almost three years after that…” she said smiling. “You were born after I finished school.”

Tomoyo stood up and embraced her mother tightly.

“Thank you mom.” She said hugging her.

“What for baby.”

“I don’t know.” She said smiling. “Just for being mom…”

They finished their meal and then returned back home where Kakero was expecting Tomoyo. He was in his car when they got there.

“Hi there.” Said Tomoyo knocking on the car window. Kakero opened the door. “Don’t you want to come in?” she asked smiling at him, he just nodded.

They entered the living room and sat down without saying a word, Kakero was carrying a carton box.

“I received your flowers.” Said Tomoyo looking at him. “They were beautiful…”

“I’m sorry for… yesterday…” he said looking at the floor.

Tomoyo shook her head. “Don’t worry Kakero.” She said taking his hand and making him smile.

“I came to give you this” he said opening the box and taking out what it seemed to be a white invitation. “For the wedding…” he said handing her the white paper.

Tomoyo looked at it and opened it, the letters were written in gold and they looked very fancy.

“They are perfect…” she said staring at the invitation.

“I think we must start delivering them…”

“Yeah…”

Kakero was looking at Tomoyo who seemed she was not exactly there, she had a sad and distracted look on her face.

“I’ll leave you to… organize… this…” he said standing up and leaving the room.

Tomoyo didn’t move a bit. She had been shocked by what had happened. She had a wedding invitation in her hand… and it was for HER wedding. She gulped and started breathing deeply and then felt a lump in her throat when she thought about delivering the invitations… there was just a month left for her wedding. She would have to send her maids to deliver the invitations but… she would have to go personally to Hong Kong for Sakura, Li and Meilin, to the Kinomoto’s house and… to the Hiiragizawa mannor. She bit her lip and stood up decided to go to Eriol’s house and deliver the invitation. She took her coat, car keys and walked towards the door but just right before getting to the entrance she stopped, turned around and walked back in.

“Tomorrow…” she said climbing upstairs. “Yes… tomorrow will be a better day…”
