Chapter 29 - Shattering?

This house, is this seriously the house where I grew up in? But when I took a tour of the house nothing seemed familiar to me.

"Hey Alex?", I call for him as I pick a dumble up.

"Yes master?", he is tredmilling.

"Has there been an incident with fire in this house?"

"Not during I was working here."

"How about before you joined?"

"I don't really know, sir. I never heard someone say something about it. The previous stuffs retired, otherwise I'd have asked them."

"I see. Well, don't tell anyone about it."

"You have my words, master."

"Umm, Kai?"

"Yeah Aiko?"

"Me and Tachibana are going to the market to buy some stuffs for the house. It looks kinda empty. You wanna join?"

"Yeah, I guess a little bit of fresh air can help me."

Oh, right! This is why she asked me to join. I'm the driver of this household now.

"Densetsu didn't come?", I ask.

"No, he wanted to roam around the area.", Tachibana replies.

"I see."

We are going to the shopping center. It's not that big but it ain't small. You can find all you need here. I notice a truck following us. It's a military truck. Tachibana probably ordered it. What are they even gonna buy that they need a freaking truck!?

Uh... right! First thing is clothes and make up. Then they need a freaking dressing table since the one at home doesn't have lighting. They also need swimming costumes because we have a swimming pool now. Also matching hats. Yeah, why not just bring the whole market to home. Who's carying these you ask? There's only two guys here. The truck driver and me. But girls don't trust other men. So yeah, I weight about 7-8 pounds more now. The amount of showpieces they bought aren't low either. The 1 ton pick up truck and the SUV trunk is full.

Finally they stopped. Thank goodness. Now the problem is how the fuck are we going to put all of these in our house on by one.

As we reach the house we find all the maids ready to take the goods and organize them. They don't waste any time. As we stop in front of the house they start working. They are taking all the things and putting them in places. I guess a little decoration can't hurt.

We're eating dinner. I forgot to mention the meals surved here looks rather ordinary. People might think where there's a grand house there's a big feast. Not really the case at this age. Not that it matters to us anyway. Densetsu and I are having the same diet shits. It is quite worth the trouble though. Densetsu looks like an ox now. I can say the same for me as well. People keep staring at us wherever we go. Is it a good thing or a bad thing? Who cares.

"Umm, Kai?", Aiko calls me from behind as I was sitting on the bed facing the other way.

"Yeah?"

"How does it look?"

I look back at her. It's a wedding gown. When did she buys this? As she keeps standing there the rays of the white moon starts falling on her white gown. It looks blueish due to lighting. Is that how she'll look like on our wedding day? She is too pretty for me.

"Well?", She asks.

I close my jaw and say, "it's cute."

"And?"

"And... I don't know."

"You know what this is?"

"Wedding gown?"

"So, shouldn't you say something else?"

"What?"

"You are hopeless! You stupid!!"

"Just tell me what to say. I'll say it to you."

"Do I really have to??"

"How else would I know?", I walk up to her.

"Tell me that you love me."

"I love you."

"Not like this you idiot!!"

"How then?!"

Kneel down. Propose to me for..."

"For what?"

"You idiot!! Marriage!!", She looks away from me.

"I don't have a ring."

"Here.", She gives me a ring and keeps the other one in her hand.

I kneel down, "I love you Aiko. Will you marry me?", I offer her the ring.

She is covering her face with one hand.

"Yes, I will.", She gives me her left hand.

As I go to put the ring in her hand, a siren starts ringing. I look out the window as the siren was coming through it.suddenly I hear something shattering the window. Aiko screams. She falls down on me.

"It's ok. I'm here.", I say.

Why is there water on her clothes. As I look at my palm I find out that it's.... Blood. Is it Aiko's? She isn't moving. As i look at her clothes I find out it turned red. Her body is lifeless.
