Can you mend my broken heart?

"Sir would you like me to go inside and check on the things".

"No need".

"So we will not do anything now?", his driver asked impatiently.

"No, we are here to just watch today, like mock spectators", he said and leaned back in his car seat.

---

They all cheered for them.

After all finally after waiting for eight long years, they could arrive at today and everything about today was beautiful.

"Can I go to them now?"

Raymond smiled looking at Kate and released her hand.

Kate ran towards them and hugged their knees and interrupted their kiss.

Shawn knew that it was her and fondly looked down and lifted her up in his arms and then said,

"Would you like to have a kiss my sweetheart?", and saying that he placed a warm kiss on her forehead and hugged her.

"So can I call you dad from now Shawn?"

"You could have called me earlier also. I wouldn't have minded", he said and gently touched the tip of her nose.

"Dad !!!"

Kate said and hugged him tightly.

That was it. Katherine could not have asked for more in life. After all these years she married the man she loved and her daughter got to call someone "Dad" after all these years. It was just perfect.

Then David, who was busy taking pictures, looked at Raymond and he knew that it was time. So he went up to Kate and gave her a small bouquet of flower and said,

"You know what you have to do right?"

"Oh yes", and saying that Kate came down out of Shawn's arms and then looking at Katherine she said,

"Throw this bouquet behind mommy. Someone needs to catch it to marry next", saying that she handed her mom a bouquet of baby's breath.

"Oh, she is gonna throw the bouquet now", Akira screamed all excited.

"Please give me all the space people, I need to catch it", saying that Akira geared herself up to take the catch and so Raymond moved behind her, giving her all the space that she wanted.

But then she saw that instead of throwing it back, Katherine came walking towards her, holding the bouquet.

"What happened? Why didn't you throw it?"

"That's because I want to make sure it goes to you".

Saying that she handed her the bouquet and said,

"I hope that you get married next. I hope that you enter my brother's life as soon as possible because you really make him happy. I might sound selfish but that's how it is. Marry my brother Akira !!! Make this family complete".

"I would love to Kat", Akira said getting all emotional, holding the bouquet in her hand.

Hearing her say that Katherine smiled and closed her eyes for a while and then taking a deep breath she said,

"Then turn back".

"What?"

"Turn back Akira".

And she turned, only to find that the man of her dreams was in front of her, down on his knees.

"What are you doing Ray? What is going on?", Akira asked looking at him and then turned to look at everyone and found everyone smiling looking at her.

Taking a deep breath, Raymond said,

"With everything varying in my life you are my only constant and I would like to hold on to you. You are the only thing around which my life revolves. Your insanity gives a purpose to my life. I might not be able to give you the fairytale life that a princess like you deserves, but I promise you, I will keep you happy".

He said and looked up her and saw her eyes already glistening with tears.

Then he got up and holding her face in his hands he said,

"I know its way too early, but my heart just can't wait".

"So say you will be mine, else I am going to wait here in this room, till I die. If you want, I will get down on my knees again and say the things you want to hear, the promises you want me to make with a hand on my heart. But please say yes".

"Say yes, even if your heart is scared, even if it's too early, even if you feel its crazy because I am gonna ask you that same question every single day. So you better say yes today".

Then taking a pause he looked at her.

Her eyes were still opened wide in shock and she was still reeling. She looked at him but not a single word came out of her mouth.

"You are scaring me Akira. Now would be the time you said something".

He came even closer and touched her head with his own and said,

"Please".

"Then do it".

He opened his eyes and looked at her.

"Then do it. Get on your knees and promise me that you will never leave me, like ever".

A smile spread on his face and he went down on his knees again.

Then taking a little box out from his chest pocket, he opened it and looking at her he said,

"Miss Akira Peyton !!! Will you marry me? Would you like to have me in your life till eternity? Would you like to...."

"Yes and thousand times yes", she said interrupting him and leaning down she kissed him softly on his lips making a smile spread on his face.

"Then be mine", he said and slowly inserted the ring in her finger.

Then as he got up, he held her hand and kissed her and whispered into her ears,

"Didn't I can bet that in just a couple of hours you will be the one kissing me first".

"You", saying that she punched his chest.

Kate went running to them and tugging on to Raymond, she asked,

"Now you two will also get married today?"

Laughing at her cute question, Raymond said,

"Yes I will, but not today my dear. She has to complete her masters first. But yeah, she is taken now",

saying that he looked at her.

Akira turned towards Katherine, Shawn and David and showing them the back of her her hand she beamed,

"I am taken".
