A Flavor to Love
Epilogues
A pair of brides look at each other with love and happiness in one corner of Sankeien Garden, a traditional Japanese garden located in Naka Ward, Yokohama. The garden is very spacious with many historical buildings, traditional houses, temples, rivers, lakes, flower gardens and walkways specially booked by the two families as the wedding venue of the two men. With a special dress code imposition kimono for family members and wedding guests and petals of cherry blossoms falling in the spring breeze, as if to show that they are all happy for the new couple.
The bridegroom who wears a special black kimono with white accents in some parts or called Montsuki Haori Hakama and a fan that is neatly folded and grasped by his right hand, it is very compatible with the bride with an elaborate detailed kimono made of several layers of pure white cloth called Shiromuku. It takes a few people to help her wear all of her parts and tie her up with an Obi or a special kimono-patterned belt - a quite complicated tie for traditional Japanese weddings. Her hair was covered in a wig and Wataboshi or white cotton hat and placed on her head as a wedding veil, making her the most beautiful and happy woman today.
After passing through a series of traditional traditional traditional events that are quite long, sacred, and troublesome for the bride who is accustomed to casual clothing in her daily life, they also ended up exchanging wedding rings as a symbol to strengthen the bond that had just been declared.
“This..., I am engaged first why are those who marry first?” Akio protested while folding both his hands and pinned to his chest. He still could not accept having to give in to Daichi and Luna while staring at the newlywed couple who were right in front of him so radiating a happy hue on their important day at the moment. Though he had imagined that he would first marry Kirana. But only because of the tradition of Daichi and Kirana's parents and the trauma of their mother being stepped over by her sister to marry first so late to meet their soul mate, their father, and their mother, finally he had to give up waiting another year to bind his heart. God, what rules are they from?!
“Can't be so Akio,” Kirana who is sitting on Akio's right hand nudged his fiancee's arm. She looks beautiful with a purple kimono patterned with small colorful flowers Furisode type which means ‘arm swing’ because the size of the fabric on the wide arm and dangling down with a length of about 100 Cm to 107 m, a special kimono of unmarried women. “That year is not long..”.
“That year was long Kirana!” His whisper to Kirana's left ear so as not to disturb the course of the wedding ceremony between Daichi and Luna. What is the power of her when she saw Kirana so beautiful with the kimono that the girl was wearing at this time was very tempting her faith. It seems that after coming home from this event, he will increase the intensity of his sport to channel the desire that he must be able to control until his wedding day arrives. “Do I need to impregnate you first like Kazuto did to Park Ha Neul for us to marry soon?”
“You don't go crazy Akio!” Kirana pinches hard Akio's arm. “Do you want my brother to carry out his intention to make you die in his hands and your body thrown into the sea?”
“Aduh.duh..duh...,” Akio grimaced with the pain and pain of death pinch from Kirana and tried to take it off. “Yes don't want to either.., but your pinching hurts so much..”.
“Makanya be patient...,” Kirana who could not bear to see Akio grimacing in pain finally embrace the friendly sturdy arm that was pinched earlier while leaning his head on the shoulder field of his man. “Not to worry excessively, I will stay with you and not go anywhere.”.
“Iya, I know...” Akio clasped Kirana's hand that was embracing her. His sense of regret faded a little with the affectionate treatment from Kirana.
“By the way Akio,” Kirana tore her two legs in zori sandals and whispered something to Akio's right ear. “You are very handsome with the black kimono you are wearing right now.”.
Oh no.., he can't take it anymore! Akio pulled Kirana's face and kissed the girl's lips deep and did not care about the invited guests who seemed dissolved in the sacred event.
Meanwhile, Daichi and Luna stared at each other full of happy smiles while remembering the drama that occurred at the time of the determination of the date of their marriage. Their parents, especially their two fathers who had forgiven each other before, almost fought a muscle battle just to determine their good day of marriage. Have they forgotten that their age has already entered the head of five? Thank goodness Daichi's mother was brief, clear, and, and solid and stable emotions managed to break the two so that today's event can go smoothly and they finally have officially become a couple who agreed to love each other life, living, and forever.

“Thank you my husband, you have granted me the happiest thing,” A familiar woman's voice echoed in Daniel's ears. “Seeing the beautiful scenery in front of me really makes me calm..”.
Daniel who had been unceasingly nailed to see his only daughter tied the wedding vows to his chosen man, suddenly turned to the voice that came from. He's not dreaming, is he? Daniel saw the figure of Astrid with a smile on his lips was looking at him with the same gaze, full of love, while as if holding the finger of the left hand of the man. “Astrid..”
“I'm so proud of you, baby..”.

“In the meantime our duty in this world is finished yes, Pa,” Wahya tendered her old body to the shoulders of her husband, Sutomo. He looked at one by one his children and grandchildren who attended a complete special event today. How grateful he was to be bestowed with good children and grandchildren and to have given him the opportunity to pet his great-grandson who had been given a very long bonus in this world by the Creator.
“Iya Ma, finally we can fulfill our promise to Rea to stay healthy and live until her children get married…,” Sutomo also reciprocated Wahya's treatment by embracing the shoulder of the woman who had accompanied him for more than fifty years. An achievement that is rarely owned by humans in general.

“Nih, my flower bouquet I hand over to you without frills thrown around like everyone else,” Luna handed me a bouquet of flowers containing white roses that match the wedding dress she is wearing today. “So you and your fiancee don't have to worry about being moved in with other family members to get married after me and Daichi.” She saw her husband chatting with Akio and Kazuto.
“Thanks yes Na, welcome to sister-in-law’s world yak,” Kirana smelled the fragrant bouquet of flowers that Luna gave her. At least despite the myth, this flower arrangement is quite soothing and reduces the disappointment of her and Akio who had intended to marry first compared to her Brother and Luna. “Original, it still feels like your dream to be my sister-in-law.”
“Sama, whereas we used to be friends fight ya.”
“Iya,” Kirana laughs amusedly whenever she remembers the behavior of the two of them in the past.
“But Kirana,”
“Hm?”
“Other times the safe play yes, there is a reddish mark on your left neck!” Luna gave the code to the left side of Kirana's neck.
“A...ap...” Kirana who was embarrassed because she was caught making out with Akio immediately covered her neck with her hands. “Damn you Luna!!”
You can't choose who you fall in love with…
Love who chooses you…
But you can choose a taste of love…
THE END
