6 Dear Fanren-chan,
|
|
rlm@0
|
7 I'm dreadfully sorry that it has taken me so long to reply to your
|
|
rlm@0
|
8 beautiful letter, but things have been very hectic here as of late.
|
|
rlm@0
|
9 I'm writing this in the limousine on the way to work. Sakura-chan
|
|
rlm@0
|
10 feel back to sleep with her head on my lap. You really should see
|
|
rlm@0
|
11 her. She looks so adorable. We were up late last night, so neither of
|
|
rlm@0
|
12 us were eager to get out of bed. I know that I should probably wake
|
|
rlm@0
|
13 her up because she's just messing up her gorgeous auburn hair, but I
|
|
rlm@0
|
14 can't bring myself to take her from the land of dreams. Mother gave
|
|
rlm@0
|
15 her a job at Daidouji Toys, so Sakura's been very busy trying to
|
|
rlm@0
|
16 learn how things work at the business. It was a little difficult for
|
|
rlm@0
|
17 her at first, but Sakura-chan really has an endless amount of
|
|
rlm@0
|
18 determination inside of her. You can see it burning inside when you
|
|
rlm@0
|
19 gaze into her emerald eyes. So even with the difficulty it's posed
|
|
rlm@0
|
20 for her, Sakura-chan has been throwing her all into it. She looks
|
|
rlm@0
|
21 very cute in business suits. Mother keeps joking that with Sakura-
|
|
rlm@0
|
22 chan here she could retire and leave the company with me but then I'd
|
|
rlm@0
|
23 never get any work done because my mind would always been on Sakura-
|
|
rlm@0
|
24 chan. But that's just silly. My mind is always on Sakura-chan as it
|
|
rlm@0
|
25 is.
|
|
rlm@0
|
26 Mother wanted me to thank you for your kind words about her
|
|
rlm@0
|
27 dancing. She really is a wonderful dancer. I know that she enjoyed it
|
|
rlm@0
|
28 quite a bit when she was younger and still does when she has a
|
|
rlm@0
|
29 chance, though she's very particular about her dance partner. She's
|
|
rlm@0
|
30 waiting for one dance in particular. But I think her partner won't
|
|
rlm@0
|
31 mind if she dances with me or Sakura once or twice until then. You
|
|
rlm@0
|
32 were an extremely good dancer yourself. For some reason I had thought
|
|
rlm@0
|
33 as much. Ieran-sama must have raised you for such things, but I think
|
|
rlm@0
|
34 a lot of it was your own giddy spirit shining through. It was a
|
|
rlm@0
|
35 wonderful night of dancing. I feel bad for keeping Sakura-chan mostly
|
|
rlm@0
|
36 to myself, but I was far too intoxicated by her presence to let go of
|
|
rlm@0
|
37 her. It was a lovely night and if you're ever in Tomoeda again, I
|
|
rlm@0
|
38 would love to go and experience it all again.
|
|
rlm@0
|
39 We were both very happy to have you here. The house was always very
|
|
rlm@0
|
40 quiet with just mother and myself, so we're both so happy to get an
|
|
rlm@0
|
41 exuberant burst of energy to liven up the house. I was very happy to
|
|
rlm@0
|
42 see you again. Thank you so much for coming. You were such a great
|
|
rlm@0
|
43 help during my stay in Hong Kong and your letters helped me
|
|
rlm@0
|
44 tremondously. It was a pleasure to be the subject of Li Fanren's
|
|
rlm@0
|
45 attention, even if for such a short period of time. I can't thank you
|
|
rlm@0
|
46 enough for your friendship throughout all of this. Thank you very
|
|
rlm@0
|
47 much. I hope that you one day find someone that will fill up your
|
|
rlm@0
|
48 heart with the unending joy that Sakura-chan grants me. I really do
|
|
rlm@0
|
49 love her with all my heart and she makes me so incredibly happy. I
|
|
rlm@0
|
50 hope one day you can have that as well. But with how loving you are,
|
|
rlm@0
|
51 I'm certain that that day isn't far off.
|
|
rlm@0
|
52 I'm very glad that Meiling-chan finally has Li-kun. I could always
|
|
rlm@0
|
53 tell that she loved him dearly. I felt sorry for her when Sakura-chan
|
|
rlm@0
|
54 got with Li-kun, because she and I were both in very similar
|
|
rlm@0
|
55 positions, but I guess neither of us have to worry about that
|
|
rlm@0
|
56 anymore. I bet their wedding will be a very beautiful one indeed.
|
|
rlm@0
|
57 I'll have to give Meiling-chan all my best hopes for her happy wedded
|
|
rlm@0
|
58 future. I think she'll do well with Li-kun. From what I had seen and
|
|
rlm@0
|
59 what Sakura tells me, he can be stubborn at times, but that shouldn't
|
|
rlm@0
|
60 be a problem for Meiling-chan. It's nice to know that they'll have
|
|
rlm@0
|
61 their happy ending as well. I know I'm enjoying mine immensely.
|
|
rlm@0
|
62 Knowing Li-kun has found his prince will delight Sakura-chan, I'm
|
|
rlm@0
|
63 sure.
|
|
rlm@0
|
64 Sakura-chan and I are looking for our own place now, though I know
|
|
rlm@0
|
65 mother wouldn't mind if we keep staying with her indefinitely.
|
|
rlm@0
|
66 Sometimes I think she adores Sakura's presence as much as I do.
|
|
rlm@0
|
67 Wherver we go, we'll definitely need to have plenty of space. It
|
|
rlm@0
|
68 turns out that Sakura brought a shimmering gift with her from Hong
|
|
rlm@0
|
69 Kong. We just found out several days ago when Sakura woke up and
|
|
rlm@0
|
70 wasn't feeling very well. It took us a while to find out why, but we
|
|
rlm@0
|
71 were both thrilled when we found out. It almost looked like Sakura-
|
|
rlm@0
|
72 chan was going to faint at first so I held onto her as tightly as I
|
|
rlm@0
|
73 can, though I couldn't quite keep from shaking myself. Sakura is
|
|
rlm@0
|
74 pregnant, Fanren-chan. We were both so surprised at first, but we're
|
|
rlm@0
|
75 overjoyed at the prospect of a little child to raise. I'm sure she'll
|
|
rlm@0
|
76 look just like her mother. Don't worry at all about the baby. I'm
|
|
rlm@0
|
77 going to try to pamper Sakura as much as possible throughout her
|
|
rlm@0
|
78 pregnancy and I want to do the same to the baby as soon as she comes
|
|
rlm@0
|
79 to join us. Looking at my poor sleeping Sakura-chan like this, you'd
|
|
rlm@0
|
80 never know she was pregnant. But it fills my heart with joy to know
|
|
rlm@0
|
81 that she has a little life growing inside of her. Sakura says that if
|
|
rlm@0
|
82 it's a girl, she's going to name her after me. I teased her that it
|
|
rlm@0
|
83 isn't fair that she gets to name a child after me but I only got to
|
|
rlm@0
|
84 name a teddy bear after her. If our daughter is chibiTomoyo, then I'm
|
|
rlm@0
|
85 going to have to let her sleep with Sakura Bear in her crib, so that
|
|
rlm@0
|
86 our little Sakura and Tomoyo can have wonderful dreams together.
|
|
rlm@0
|
87 I once said that I would be happiest as long as the one I loved was
|
|
rlm@0
|
88 happy. But I learned that my lonely heart longed for Sakura's genki
|
|
rlm@0
|
89 warmth to soothe it. I can't begin to describe how happy my new
|
|
rlm@0
|
90 auburn haired wife has made me. The wedding was very likely the
|
|
rlm@0
|
91 single greatest day of my life, surpassing even the treasured day
|
|
rlm@0
|
92 when I first met her. To join our hearts like that, to have
|
|
rlm@0
|
93 everything fall into place so perfectly, to see everyone there for us
|
|
rlm@0
|
94 as we pledged our love... It was all hanyaan. I hope Sakura-chan
|
|
rlm@0
|
95 doesn't mind me stealing her word, but it really is the only thing
|
|
rlm@0
|
96 that fits how I feel even now as I look back on it. I'm surprised she
|
|
rlm@0
|
97 hasn't gotten tired of me watching the wedding video yet. Thank you
|
|
rlm@0
|
98 so much for videotaping it for me. The angles were all perfect and
|
|
rlm@0
|
99 when Sakura-chan steps into the frame my heart begins to melt. My
|
|
rlm@0
|
100 sweetest dreams pale in comparison to actually standing there with
|
|
rlm@0
|
101 Sakura in wedding gowns, gazing into her eyes and knowing that we'll
|
|
rlm@0
|
102 never be alone again. If these days never end, I know I have found
|
|
rlm@0
|
103 heaven.
|
|
rlm@0
|
104 My lovely Sakura-chan sleeps so peacefully even as we near work, as
|
|
rlm@0
|
105 if such trivial things are of no consequence to my dreaming angel. I
|
|
rlm@0
|
106 love her so much, Fanren-chan. With all my heart and soul. With all
|
|
rlm@0
|
107 that I am. And this love for her grows with every passing day, just
|
|
rlm@0
|
108 as it always has. It has become a thrilling ache throughout me as I
|
|
rlm@0
|
109 spend my days and nights with the Mistress of the Cards, and bask in
|
|
rlm@0
|
110 her energetic and kawaii presence. This delicious ache always grows
|
|
rlm@0
|
111 stronger, almost painfully so, but I would never wish to be without
|
|
rlm@0
|
112 it. I used to watch every little adventure she had through the lens
|
|
rlm@0
|
113 of my camcorder. Now everyday is an adventure, but rather than
|
|
rlm@0
|
114 watching it, Sakura pulls me into it, giving me a taste of the
|
|
rlm@0
|
115 wondrous things life has to offer. Raising a daughter, finding a
|
|
rlm@0
|
116 house, and wherever else this delightful path takes us, I will be
|
|
rlm@0
|
117 more than happy to follow as long as my beautiful bride is there to
|
|
rlm@0
|
118 light up my world.
|
|
rlm@0
|
119 The limousine has stopped. I'll have to wake Sakura-chan up soon.
|
|
rlm@0
|
120 But I hope no one ever wakes me up from this dream. I want it to go
|
|
rlm@0
|
121 on forever.
|
|
rlm@0
|
122
|
|
rlm@0
|
123 Your friends in Japan,
|
|
rlm@0
|
124 Tomoyo and Sakura Daidouji |
