Kyoto, Japan – A Secret Garden in the Heart of the Momiji Forest
Maple leaves fall gently in the late autumn afternoon. Deep reds and oranges dance in the breeze, as if aware that today is no ordinary day. In a secluded garden within an ancient temple, the quietest wedding in entertainment history is about to take place.
As if nature itself is celebrating, a gentle breeze whispers softly, carrying the hope and love that flows between them. The scent of wet leaves and the delicate fragrance of cherry blossoms fill the air, creating a romantic symphony that can only be appreciated by those present at this sacred moment, suggesting that this wedding is a commemoration of love cherished by the very essence of nature.
There are no journalists. No cameras. Only a few names:
Kana Arima, in a lavender gown.
Akane Kurokawa, wrapped in a black and gold hanfu.
Mecho Cho, dressed in a pale blue kimono, holding a pocket watch.
Miyako, standing among the guests with teary eyes.
Each face present was filled with hope and happiness, united in a profound silence. In the subdued light, they resembled ghosts from the past, witnessing love blossom amidst a forest laden with secrets.
And at the small altar made of aged wood… stood Fitran Fate, wearing a white hakama embroidered with the symbol of a star. In his left hand, he held a piece of pink fabric — a fragment from Ruby's first stage costume.
His heart raced, reflecting the significance of this moment. In the enveloping silence, all eyes were on him, admiring his handsome figure, as if he were the god of love descended to earth.
The sound of Ruby's footsteps could be heard.
Her simple white dress featured delicate lace and long, sheer sleeves. Her hair was softly styled, adorned with a single artificial cherry blossom. She carried no flowers.
As she made her way down the aisle, her steps seemed to float, transcending the dimensions between beauty and eternity. Each step echoed in the hearts of the guests, leaving behind a trail of hope and a vibrational energy that stirred the soul.
She brought only a smile... and tears.
Her tears reflected joy and emotion, a perfect blend of feelings that filled her heart. Her smile and tears were two sides of the same coin of love, complementing each other in the narrative of her life journey.
Fitran gazed at her as if time had stopped. For the first time, time didn't need to move.
In his gaze, countless unspoken words lay hidden, eternal promises binding them in a connection stronger than anything else. The universe seemed to stand still, ready to witness two souls uniting in a beautiful, everlasting harmony.
The ceremony commenced with solemnity, creating a sacred and intimate atmosphere that connected the attendees with the essence of eternal love.
The temple priest delivered a simple prayer of protection, transcending religious boundaries. Just words about "two stars choosing to orbit around each other." Then… the moment arrived for them to exchange their vows.
Fitran unrolled a small scroll from the sleeve of his robe.
The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.
Ruby read from a book tied with a red ribbon.
Between them, the rustling leaves stirred by the gentle evening breeze seemed to give their blessing, adding an eternal quality to this sacred moment. The lantern light illuminated their faces, filled with hope and sincerity, as if the stars in the sky had united in a festive dance.
Every second felt like a poem written by nature, celebrating a love that sweeps one away!
Fitran looked at Ruby with deep hope and said:
“I am not a complete person. I come from a world that knows no love… only will. But today, I stand before you as a man learning to love… because you have taught me.”
“I promise… to not always understand, but to always listen. To not always be strong, but to always be there. To not forget that we met... not by fate, but by your courage to love me first.”
In this moment, a new shawl and longing envelop them, inviting laughter from the guests witnessing the union of two souls. Every word spoken by Fitran, accompanied by deep breaths and meaningful gazes, becomes a noble promise before an eternal love.
It is as if nature itself trembles in support of this sacred bond, ensuring it shines like the morning light that awakens the world, creating an unforgettable moment for every soul present.
Ruby:
“I am not a bright star. But you still chose me… among all the possible lights. I cannot promise that I will always be perfect. But I promise that I will always be honest.”
“I will not save you from all the darkness… but I will light a small candle every night, so you know: I am still here.”
As the dusk slowly grows darker, every word spoken seems to glide softly, filling the air with the warmth of unforgettable love, creating a web of emotions that binds two souls in a noble promise. The evening breeze carries the scent of blooming flowers, as if witnessing and celebrating their sacred vow.
Teardrops fall.
Not only Ruby; even Kana could be seen wiping her eyes, unable to hold back her emotions. Akane smiled with a heavy breath, while Mecho turned to the sky — his pocket watch ticking away a minute that could never be changed, a moment that would be etched in his memory forever.
Amidst this overwhelming tide of emotions, there was a vibrant bond of affection tying their hearts together. Each tear drop served as a silent witness to their profound feelings, reminding them of the journey they had traversed together, filled with twists and turns yet always supporting one another.
That night, a small party was held.
Kana sang a soft piano melody.
Akane recited poetry.
Mecho presented a gift: a handcrafted wooden watch, engraved with the words “Time begins here.”
Ruby sat on Fitran's lap in front of a small fire.
In the gentle light of the flames, Ruby's face glowed, radiating an indescribable beauty. Her voice melded softly with Kana's song, as if painting hope and joy in the air. Each burst of laughter became a melody that complemented the symphony of the night.
“What does it feel like... to marry a human?” Ruby whispered.
Fitran turned to her. “I feel... like I finally have a home.”
In that quiet moment, the night breeze whispered softly, teasing the strands of Ruby's loose hair. The stars twinkled above, as if witnessing the promises exchanged between them. The crackling of the fire added to the intimate atmosphere, drawing both of them deeper into indescribable feelings.
At that moment, Ruby's daydream took flight, reflecting on all the journeys they had shared. Each laugh, each tear, now converging into this one moment— as if the world was waiting for them to unite. It was unclear how long they had been waiting, yet the feeling warmed their hearts like the soft glow of morning sunlight.
They lay together, embraced, their breaths syncing.
And just before their eyes closed...
“I am yours,” Ruby said.
“You are my life,” Fitran replied.
In Fitran's embrace, Ruby felt as if time held no value. Each passing second became an invaluable treasure, where every breath flowed in perfect harmony. In that tranquility, they sensed an unmatched pulse of love, as if the world outside faded away momentarily, leaving only the two of them and the warmth between their souls.
Beside the cherry blossom tree, petals gently fall, dancing in the moonlight that radiates beauty. Each falling petal seems to grant a blessing, witnessing the love of two souls finding each other, as if assuring that their love will endure forever. Under the shelter of the sakura, they embody the eternal nature of love, ready to carve a new history that will be remembered forever in their hearts and in the hearts of generations to come.
