"Did she at least spell it right or did she try to make it exotic?" Taki's eldest sister asked as she covered her son's ears. "It doesn't matter what was the point in bringing her up!" Taki shouted. "Oh ya! You're bad taste!" Taki's eldest brother shouted as his wife tried hard not to laugh.
"Right, didn't you walk in on her?"
"Ya practically traumatized you."
"He stopped dating for five years after her."
"Wasn't she the one having an affair?"
"Oh G*d don't say it!" Taki shouted.
"Yup! Walked in on Cinnamon with another two girls."
"Don't say it!" Taki boomed.
"Then found out Cinnamon was actually Charles!" Taki's second brother laughed loudly. Taki slumped into his seat and dropped his gaze to the sleek portfolio as his siblings, their partners and even some of his nieces and nephews laughed hysterically.
Mrs. Hamako went silent as Mr. Hamako walked up to his son and laid his hand over his shoulder. "We want to see you happy. Taki listen to your mother and marry Ting Ting." He said with a sad smile. Taki looked up and his eyes started to water. "Mmm." He said as he nodded his head.
Time flew by and Taki met Ting Ting a few times before his engagement party. He instantly fell head over heals for the girl and was happily planning his wedding with little input from her. The only thing that stopped his planning was his star author Mei or more commonly know as Lady Red Nails. She was ridiculous popular and made the most revenue for the company.
So Taki made sure to give her the upmost attention. A few days before the wedding Mei handed in her manuscript for her new book, "Red String, Sea of love". Taki was ecstatic. It was his rehearsal dinner but he took the manuscript and started reading right away. No matter where anyone saw Taki he was reading the manuscript.
When he finished he felt cold and awful. He was in his car, parked outside of the hall where the rehearsal was going to take place. He grabbed his phone and dialed. "Mei, I finished reading." Taki said but Mei said nothing. "Mei are you okay?" Taki asked. "... He left me." Mei said in a hollow voice. "Who left you?" Taki asked. "Kei." Mei replied. "Oh Mei. I'm so sorry." Taki said.
"Sorry boss but I don't think I'm going to your wedding.... Best wishes to you and Ting Ting." Mei said before hanging up. Taki felt awful but he knew he had to give Mei time. He would talk to her again tomorrow. He called up his assistant and asked to have his schedule cleared for tomorrow. He was determined to have Mei change the story. There was no way such a beautiful story could end in a sea of blood and violence.
The rehearsal dinner went well. Taki had put his heart and soul into making things look like a dreamy fairy tale, all so he could make his beautiful princess smile and she did. Taki would usually be to the moon and back after Ting Ting gave him such a sweet smile but tonight his mind was else where. To be exact his mind was with Mei.
"What the hell is wrong with me!" He cried inside his heart as he looked at Ting Ting who was talking with her parents. He quickly averted his gaze and cried. "I'm a horrible man I'm thinking of another woman!" He said inside his heart.
Suddenly chibi versions of himself dressed as an angel and a devil appeared on each shoulder. "No you're not, you're thinking about work." The angel said. "Dude should be looking at his fiancee and undressing her with his eyes! Look at her! Isn't she the princess you have been dreaming of your whole life?! Screw work for one night and look at that vision!" The devil said with some attitude. Taki looked back and sighed.
"I gotta agree with him. She is a vision and think in two days you will be married. You can finally hand in that V card too." The angel said as he nudged Taki's face. "Aren't you supposed to be an angel?!" Taki whispered to his shoulder. "Meh. I'm an angel not a saint." The angel said as he shrugged his shoulders. Taki looked a Ting Ting again and felt his heart swell. "Hehehe. She's going to be my wife." Taki laughed to himself as drool started to seep from the corner of his lips.
"Ugh! Get a hold of yourself man! I know I want you to act on your desires but man do it with dignity! DIGNITY!" The devil shouted as he slapped Taki's left cheek. "Right!" Taki shouted causing everyone to turn to him. "Taki?" Ting Ting called out with a sweet and serene voice. The devil and angel's face turned bright red along side Taki. "I'm out!" The devil said and he disappeared. "I'm mortified and I'm only a figment of your imagination!" The angel shouted then disappeared.
Taki stood proudly tall as he adjusted his blazer. "I was agreeing with you Ting Ting." Taki said as he tried to play off his disruption. "You want children later on in life? Taki you're getting older you should have children right away." Ting Ting's mother said as she pointed her finger at Taki.
Taki vomited blood. He really wanted kids right away but if Ting Ting wanted kids later then later was the answer. "Mother-in-law, whatever Ting Ting wants, I will always give or agree too." Taki said as he walked over and grabbed Ting Ting's hand. He then brought it up to his lips and placed a sweet kiss on the back of her hand. "Taki." Ting Ting sighed. The rest of the night went off perfectly and Taki dropped Ting Ting off at her apartment like a perfect gentleman.
He took off his clothes and flung them to the corner of the room. It was the only bad habit Taki had. To just throw his clothes without putting them away. Taki made a mental note to not do that when he and Ting Ting lived together. He then went to the washroom and jumped into the shower, completely missing the phone call that lit up his smartphone.
