CHAPTER FIVE
DISCLAIMER: The usual...
Everyone is at capsule corps for the dinner Bulma planned. She usually made the food with the help of Chichi whenever they have a get together. But today she has hired someone to cater for her and she only do this when there was a special occasion. That's why everyone was curious as to what is going on. All of them tried in their own subtle way to get her to spill the beans. But she would just smile at them mischievously and then she would move on to mingle with the rest of the guest. Only she and Vegeta knew the reason for these festivities. And she will not tell them until she was well and ready. She watches every one of her friends and she is happy that they would share this joyous occasion with her. They have been through a lot together and she regarded them all as her family. She looked at the direction where her husband was; he is glaring at Goku while the other man gobble up his food while saying something to Vegita. By the look of his husband it is clear that he is disgusted with Goku. But they all knew better because in a strange way the two full-blooded sayains acted more like they were siblings. But the truth of the matter is they act more childish than Trunks and Goten were when they were kids. But she knows that Vegita could always count on Goku. And his husband is not really taking the situation well. When everyone looked content and happy she decided it was time to make the announcement. By clapping her hands she drew every ones attention to her.
"Everyone, I ask all of you here today so you could share this special day with us. You know that I regard everyone here as part of our family so..." she stopped when she heard Vegita and Picollo snorted in unison. At this everyone couldn't help but laugh. "As I was saying before I got rudely interrupted," she said this glaring at the namek and the prince she continued her speech as soon as she got every ones attention back to her." As you all know my daughter Bra has been dating Matt for almost two years but they have decided to make their relationship official by getting married!" Bulma said excitedly.
Everyone went to Bra and congratulated her with hugs and kisses. All of them wishing her well, Some are even giving her advise about having a baby. But oblivious to all of them is a figure that stood still without moving an inch and a shocked expression on his face. Amid all of what is happening they didn't see him flinch when Bulma announced the engagement.
Goten stood frozen in his position. He is looking at everything around him like it was in slow motion. When Bulma announced the engagement of her daughter it finally dawn on him .The feelings he had for Bra and it hit him real hard seeing everything that's been happening in the past few years in a flash. The way Bra gazed at him wearing her heart on her sleeve, the hurt look she has when he has a new girlfriend. The day he realize that Bra has a date, the jealousy he felt although never admitted even to himself. But in the midst of all this two voices keep playing over and over in his mind: Daphne and Vegita. But now that he realized what they meant it's too late. Suddenly he felt someone staring at him and when he returns the gaze he found himself looking at Bra. There is something in those blue eyes that he couldn't read. All of a sudden he is overwhelm with all this new emotions for her and so he finds himself look away. He felt the room go smaller and smaller and he felt that he couldn't breath. If he was certain of one thing in his life, he knew that he has to get out of there before he made a fool out of himself. He headed towards the door and flew from that place as fast as he could.
Bra accepted all their congratulations with a smile on her face. All of them already gave her their well wishes except for one person. She looked at where he is standing to see if he is going to approach her but what she saw gave her pause, for she is looking at someone who is so shock he couldn't even move. And then he suddenly looked up and their eyes met. Shock was an understatement to describe his expression, because he looked like a man who has just been given a revelation. Hope was the first thing that came to her mind and then he suddenly looked away and walked out the door. She shook her self mentally; She promised her self that night in her room that she would not torture her self any longer. And truth be told she rarely think about him any more. She has finally found her happiness with Matt. Bra does love him, it is not the kind of love that she had for Goten but it will do for now. Dismissing Goten out of her mind she looked up at Matt and she saw him smiling at her with his eyes filled with love.
But Bra wasn't the only one who noticed the expression on Gotens' face. Trunks saw that his friend finally came to terms with his feelings for his sister. It's a shame that he has to find out in this kind of situation. He was about to follow his best friend when Vegeta blocked his path.
"So he finally realized it." Vegeta said with the usual smirk on his face.
"It's too bad though that he has to find out this way." Trunks said unhappily to his father "I have to go to him, he might need me"
"I say it's about time that the boy finds out, took him long enough" Vegita told him. "But you can't follow him. He needs to be alone right now." This was said in a commanding voice.
"Oh?! I didn't know you cared" Trunks said in a sardonic voice. He is annoyed that his father is stopping him from consoling his friend.
"I don't. Fine do what you want but you know I'm right." Vegita said offhandedly to his son.
"Why are you so interested in Bra and Goten anyway? I would have thought you're the last person who would want them together." Trunks said changing the subject because he knows that his father has a point about giving Goten some space.
"Anybody is better than that weakling she is going to marry even if it's Kakaroto's brat," he said gruffly. "And besides for all the indifference your sister is showing I know that she still feels for him."
"I just hope everything works out fine," Trunks said.
"Humph, He better think of something fast before he looses her for good"" Vegita said walking away.
Goten was lying on the bed of his hotel room looking up at the ceiling. There was an emergency business trip he has to attend in America. His assistant was supposed to be the one to attend but got sick at the last minute. In a way it became a blessing in disguise for him because he needed to think about what to do with Bra. He has been debating with himself for the last month or so whether to tell her that he loves her. She looked so happy in the engagement party that just the thought of telling her makes him feels guilty. What if he told her and she doesn't feel the same? I would just ruin everything by confusing her. If only he has realized his emotions earlier none of this would have happened. Suddenly the phone besides him rings...
"Hello" Goten answered
"Goten, listen man I think you should go home now" Trunks said without preamble.
"What? Why? What happened? Is everyone okay?" Goten asked worriedly.
"Yes everyone's fine I just think you should know that Bra is getting married in two days" Trunks said frantically.
"Two days!!! Why so sudden? Is she pregnant or something?" Goten asked
"What?! No..Do you have any idea what my dad would do to Matt if that happens" Trunks said.
"Then why the hurry?" asked Goten
"I don't know, I'm just surprise as you especially when I heard that it was Bra's idea. Matt just went along with it." Trunks explained. "When does you conference ends?" he asked
"Three days" Goten answered
"Goten, I know how you feel about Bra and I think that it's about time that you do something about it. Because if you don't you're going to regret it for the rest of your life." Trunks advised.
"Oh gosh Trunks ... how did I manage to make such a mess of things. I mean I think everybody knew how I felt except me. What if it's too late? What if she doesn't love me anymore?" Goten asked desperately.
"I think deep down you've always known how you feel for her but you just don't want to acknowledge it because of your age difference. And it's no use asking those questions. Whatever her answer might be doesn't matter just as long as you tried." Trunks said
"You are right. I just can't give up without putting up a fight. I'll fly back tonight as soon as I can. And the first thing I'm going to do is talk to Bra." Goten said with determination in his voice.
"Now you're talking. Okay then I'll see you later." Trunks said
"Thanks man" Goten said sincerely to his friend.
"It's nothing, I know you would do the same for me." Trunks said.
"Okay bye" Goten said then hung up the phone.
