Aishiteru, Takah!

Chapter 25's

"It looks like you're challenging me!" Mina said again.

"Indeed! If what you say is true, you will definitely not hesitate to report this matter to the police. But what I saw was the opposite. You use the power of fans and the public to sympathize with you. What can I say if you're hitching a ride on Taka-san's social status, Mina-shi?"

"Bad!" mina Maki.

"I can indeed be insolent when dealing with you, Mina-ssi" I said casually.

"Who are you? There was no way an assistant could boldly say such a thing to me!"

I was silent for a moment, "You'd be shocked to find out who I really am."

Mina laughed and clapped her hands, "Rightly I thought, you are in a relationship with Taka-san. This is gonna be great news! A vocalist of a famous band committed sexual abuse and was unwilling to take responsibility for being romantically involved with another woman. Whaddya think? Is it good to be the title of the next news topic?"

I almost laughed hearing Mina's words about the title of the news topic. It reminds me of a private television station in Indonesia that often displays soap operas with very long titles.

"What if the next news topic was about a female idol group member being forced to retire early due to being boycotted by the media related to a big lie he did? Sounds good, doesn't it?" askaku.

"What do you mean?" Mina raised her voice again.

"I have an offer for you, Mina-ssi. Pull up all your words in the media, and I'll make sure Taka forgets about the case."

"If I don't want to?" tanyanya.

"The title of the news topic I mentioned earlier, will become reality." I smiled cynically. "You can tell lies to all parties as long as it doesn't hurt Taka and his band. Unfortunately, you have already been very detrimental. Plus, instead of regretting, you're getting more challenging."

"I'm not challenging anyone, I'm just saying the real thing happened."

I snorted in annoyance, this should end quickly. "Alright if that's what you want. Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Rinai Melodi Zeinobya and I am the legal wife of Takahiro Moriuchi."

Mina swerved for a moment and then laughed. "So you claim to be his wife now?" mina taunted me.

"No, that's what's really going on."

"Whatever! Even if it's true, I'll just tell you something. This husband of yours has been harassing me in the recording studio!" Mina smiled cynically.

"By using the counter*ception tool?"

He nodded.

"Do you think the perpetrator of sexual abuse had time to use contraception?"

Mina's face panicked for a while. "Yes! The proof is that Taka dropped one of the many counter*ception tools he brought."

"Miss Mina, my husband is allergic to contraceptives. He's one of the few men who can't use the contraceptive tool*ception. That's why, from the beginning I knew you were lying. So now, take your evidence anywhere, and I'll take a doctor's letter stating that it's true that my husband has an allergy to it. Oh yeah, don't forget either. Our side will demand considerable losses on you."

Mina's face was already completely pale. "No way," he said.

"Nothing is impossible. Your choice is only two, withdraw your words yesterday, or further fuss over this. You can even reveal my identity to the media. But remember, I won't be quiet either. I will do everything to fight you and make sure you bear the greatest shame."

I got up and was followed by Taka who during my conversation with Mina just kept quiet. I asked him to be quiet when I spoke.

"Consider carefully because you will never be able to get what you want from my husband. Good day, Mina-ssi." I walked out of the cafe with my hands in Taka's grasp.

***

Shinoda and the others came out of the cafe shortly after Mina left. They came up to me and patted me on the shoulder slowly.

"Good job, Rinai-san. I was moved to see the way you defended Taka-san," Toru's wife hugged me.

"We still have to wait for what step Mina will take," I replied slowly.

"It's okay, Rinai-san. In the near future, we'll be able to figure it out" Shinoda chimed in.

We all walked slowly to the car park and intended to return to the hotel.

***

"Rinai-chan."

I felt a hug from behind when I woke up and surprised to find the rest of the tears on my cheeks. Slowly, I turned to face Taka.

"What did you dream of crying?" tanyanya gently.

"I dreamt that you would leave me with Mina."

Unexpectedly, instead of calming me down, Taka laughed and buried my head in his chest. "It seems to stress you out, Rinai."

"Yes." I answered honestly.

"So you were so cool talking to Mina."

"I'm really cool from birth." Something that flashed through my mind made me pause for a moment. "I'm sorry" I said suddenly.

"For?" tanya Taka was curious.

"Tell Mina if you're allergic to kon*dom."

"No problem, Rinai. That's not a big deal. I'm not ashamed of that either. It even got me out of this shitty problem."

I smiled and recalled a few nights after our wedding when we intended to do something together for the first time using the counter*ception tool. We agreed to postpone having children because Taka had just joined his band.

However, the funny feeling immediately changed the infinite gratitude, when he himself said he only knew if he had a contraceptive allergy. Makes sense. If he had known it long ago, he would have avoided it.

What Taka said made me believe, if he had never used this contra*ception tool before and most likely, he had never slept with any woman other than me.

***

It did not take long for a press conference in the form of further clarifications from Mina to be broadcast. The results of the press conference were widely discussed almost all media in cyberspace. Many denounced her, and many were amazed by the courage of the girl to admit her mistake. He is also firmly willing to step down from management and idol groups as a form of accountability. And in the press conference, she did not mention my name as the legal wife of Taka.

***

We were getting ready to leave the hotel and headed to the airport. Today we are going back to Japan and the plan is to directly occupy the house in Shibuya. Another band member reported that the situation in Japan had improved due to clarification made by Mina. Many fans want to meet with Taka to just give moral support to my husband.

"Do you want to come back here one day?" taka asked when we were in the car.

"No. I mean, South Korea is a beautiful country. But I got bad memories here. Maybe one day if I can forget this, I'll come back here" I replied.

Taka laughed and ruffled my hair.

***

"Wear your glasses Rinai!" taka said furiously as I turned towards the back only to see a very beautiful man walking towards the passenger lounge.

"Mrs Taka!" He said it again when I still didn't wear my glasses.

I chuckled and followed his orders.

"Rinai-ssi!"

As I was about to enter the passenger lounge, someone called my name. I looked up at Vobby sitting outside the passenger lounge spontaneously releasing his hand from Taka's grasp. Taka's face seemed to be flushed red as he looked tensely standing next to me.

"Are you going back to Japan?" tanyakanya.

I nodded in agreement, "Are you going to travel as well Bobby-ssi?"

"Yes, I'm going to America to visit my parents."

"Well then, be careful on the road" I said with a smile.

When I turned around, Bobby called me again. "Can I ask for your mobile number, Rinai-san?"

"No," Taka replied quickly. "I'm sorry Bobby-ssi, but I don't allow you to get my wife's mobile number.

" Wife?" ask Bobby.

"Yes, Rinai is my legal wife."

I almost laughed when I heard Taka stressing the word 'my rightful wife'.

"I'm sorry then Taka-san. Sorry I don't know."

"No problem" replied Taka. "Sorry, we have to leave immediately."

Without waiting for Bobby to answer, Taka clasped my hand again and walked towards the passenger lounge.

***

I entered the house I was about to occupy with a light feeling. The afternoon sun shines into this house and makes it even more beautiful. A golden light shimmered around the room and I liked what I saw.

"Are you hungry?" taka asked suddenly who was behind me with some of our luggage.

"Not really, I'm designing the interior of this house in my mind."

Taka smiled and hugged me from behind. "Will you if I love you so much?"

"I think yes, even if you're not a romantic guy in general. But I can feel that you love me."

Taka turned my body to face towards her. "I'm sorry for everything you've been through. For all the heavy and exhausting things. I can't promise anything, but I'll make sure you're always happy by my side, Mrs Taka."

"And do you know? I have never felt so loved as I am today. I am grateful to have met you. I am grateful for every hardship we face that makes us stronger. I am thankful that you are always by my side. I can't promise anything either. But obviously, I will always be here. You're my home, the only place I can go home. The only place where I feel comfortable. Thank you so much Taka-chan." My throat was stuck and my eyes were hot. Without being held back, I hugged Taka tightly and cried.

***

In the evening, we sat in the garden chair after tidying up some of our belongings. Taka said that for a few days, he was given a break before finally resuming the delayed recording in South Korea.

"So we're going back to South Korea?" my many.

"No. Shinoda said the recording would be done in Japan. After many things that make the head hurt, he wants us all to rest and spend time with family. Good for me, because I can immediately take classes at Tokyo Camii."

Taka's words made me look. "You're taking a class?"

"Not yet, but I've been intending to come."

I looked at Taka with a deep sigh. Sometimes, those who get guidance to become converts are more diligent and consistent than those who have become Muslims from birth. Knowing Taka's intention to learn to teach makes me say hamdalah unceasingly in the heart.

"I'm glad to hear it" I said softly. "Truly happy."

Taka smiled and rubbed my cheeks gently. "Stay with me, Rinai-chan. Keep following me."

"Sure! I will continue to be by your side. Aishiteru Taka's!" I said pretty hard and hugged her tight.
