Zephryn and Celestyn are still at Casimir’s place, gathered together and finishing up dinner that Sotsona prepared. Zephryn Line 1) How are wedding plans going for you guys? Sotsona Line 2) Imir has taken the lead with majority of the planning. Sotsona smiles, feeling appreciative of Casimir. Sotsona Line 3) He has been asking for my opinion about everything, though, so it’s decided fairly between us*. *Refer back to episode 69, line 25. Sotsona speaks in a relieved manner. Sotsona Line 4) I appreciate that he's doing everything because I would be completely overwhelmed without some guidance. Sotsona blushes, speaking shyly. Sotsona Line 5) And, I honestly want it to be a surprise when I see everything on our special day. Zephryn speaks in a wholesome manner, reassuring Sotsona. Zephryn Line 6) As long as he’s including you, that’s all that matters. Zephryn directs her next question to Casimir. Zephryn Line 7) How much longer do you think it’ll take to plan everything? Sotsona looks at Casimir for assurance on his answer. Casimir speaks in an assertive manner. Casimir Line 8) We’ve only started planning for 2 months, and based on how extravagant I want our wedding to be, I’m thinking it’ll take over a year. Zephryn looks at Casimir in shock, concern etched on her face. Zephryn Line 9) Over a year?! That’s way too long! Casimir justifies himself with certainty. Casimir Line 10) Think about it, mom. This is going to be one of the most important days of our lives. We just HAVE to make it big. Casimir Line 11) And, if making it big requires more time to plan, then so be it. Casimir grabs Sotsona’s hand, catching her off-guard. Casimir Line 12) We’re not in any sort of rush. Zephryn shrugs. Zephryn Line 13) I understand, but I just thought that maybe a couple months would do the trick. Sotsona looks at Casimir sentimentally. Line 14) Sotsona’s inner thoughts: I’ve never asked him how long planning would take. Line 15) Sotsona’s inner thoughts: So we have around a year until the big day comes, huh? Line 16) Sotsona’s inner thoughts: No wonder he wants our relationship to be public*. *Refer back to episode 78, line 35. Line 17) Sotsona’s inner thoughts: Waiting a year must be complete and total agony for him. Line 18) Sotsona’s inner thoughts: I’ll talk to him about it, and hopefully, we can come up with a compromise. Casimir Line 19) Trust me, I want to get married to Ona as soon as possible. Casimir Line 20) But if we need to wait a bit longer to make this day utterly perfect, then it’s no problem for me. Sotsona looks at Casimir touchingly. Line 21) Sotsona’s inner thoughts: He’s been so patient planning everything out to a tee. Line 22) Sotsona’s inner thoughts: I’m sure that by now, he’s figured out that I’m feeling slightly uncertain about getting married so soon. Line 23) Sotsona’s inner thoughts: I’m so touched to hear that he’s waiting for me so earnestly. Line 24) Sotsona’s inner thoughts: How did I land on meeting someone so amazing? Sotsona pats Casimir’s knee under the table. Casimir smiles from her gesture. Zephryn Line 25) Sotsona, have you at least figured out who’s walking you down the aisle? Sotsona is caught off-guard with this question. She speaks in a confused tone. Sotsona Line 26) Walking me down the aisle? I haven’t thought that far through. Zephryn Line 27) What about who’s going to be your maid of honor? Sotsona speaks in a nervous tone. Sotsona Line 28) Uh. I don’t have anyone in mind, but I’m sure I’ll find someone eventually. Zephryn persists with her questions. Zephryn Line 29) What about what kind of dress you want to wear? Sotsona speaks in an apprehensive manner. Sotsona Line 30) Uh. I’m truly grateful about any selections places offer. Zephryn speaks in a skeptical manner. Zephryn Line 31) Have you prepared your vows? Sotsona speaks in a cautious tone. Sotsona Line 32) Um. I have an idea on what I could say. Zephryn looks at Sotsona in confusion. Zephryn Line 33) Haven’t you been thinking about these kinds of things for a while? Zephryn Line 34) This is your marriage, after all. I assumed that you would already know the answers to everything even before settling down with someone. Casimir intervenes, speaking in a worried manner. Casimir Line 35) Mom, why are you suddenly interrogating Ona about that kind of stuff? Zephryn justifies herself. Zephryn Line 36) If i’m being honest, she should know about these things. Zephryn Line 37) If I ask Celestyn what she wants, she would know everything clearly, even after getting dumped. Casimir speaks in a curious tone. Casimir Line 38) Is she right, Celestyn? Celestyn answers in a heartbeat, continuing her somber demeanor. Celestyn Line 39) Mom’s walking me down the aisle. I suppose Sotsona can be my maid of honor. I want a mermaid-cut dress, or I’m wearing a suit… Celestyn Line 40) And, I’ll improvise my vows. They have to be straight from the heart. Zephryn Line 41) See? She has an idea of some sort. Why don’t you, Sotsona? Casimir speaks in a reassuring tone. Casimir Line 42) It’s fine, mom. She has plenty of time to figure everything out. Zephryn looks at Sotsona, anticipating an answer from her. Sotsona shyly speaks. Sotsona Line 43) Actually, I have an explanation for that. Everyone at the table looks at Sotsona, keeping their ears perked up to intently listen to what she’s about to say. Casimir looks at Sotsona in surprise, not anticipating for her to intervene. Line 44) Sotsona’s inner thoughts: It’s time I say something about Casimir since he’s been doing more in our relationship than I have. Sotsona speaks in a sentimental manner. Sotsona Line 45) For the longest time, marriage was simply out of the question for me. Sotsona Line 46) I was going through a very hard time before I met Imir. Sotsona Line 47) I was very lonely and hopeless, so I didn’t have much of a future planned for myself. Sotsona Line 48) Of course, I envisioned myself getting married, but thinking too specifically about the details only made me emotional since it seemed like something that was so out of reach for me. Sotsona Line 49) But, ever since I've met Imir, all of that anguish has completely melted away. Sotsona speaks in a genuine manner, a smile forming by her lips. Sotsona Line 50) I finally have a life I can look forward to living. Sotsona Line 51) A future that I’m excited to delve into. Sotsona Line 52) So now that the topic of marriage has come up again… Sotsona Line 53) I’m just not particularly used to knowing what I want. Sotsona Line 54) I’m glad I have the opportunity to have the freedom and peace to think about it… Sotsona Line 55) Because at some point, that seemed utterly impossible for me. Sotsona Line 56) Which is why I’m not familiar with these marital dynamics. Sotsona Line 57) But, you’re right for bringing it up. Sotsona Line 58) I’m very thankful that this is something I can factor into my life now. Sotsona Line 59) I’ll try to start thinking about those things from now on. Zephryn warmly smiles at Sotsona. Casimir looks at Sotsona touchingly and blushes. Celestyn looks at Sotsona annoyingly, feeling jealous by her happiness. Zephryn speaks in an apologetic tone. Zephryn Line 60) I see. I’m sorry if it seemed like I was being too pushy asking about those kinds of things. Sotsona swiftly reassures Zephryn. Sotsona Line 61) Absolutely not! You have every right to know. Sotsona Line 62) After all, we’ll be future in-laws. Zephryn beams. Zephryn Line 63) That’s right! How lovely! Zephryn Line 64) We can’t wait for you to officially be apart of our family. Sotsona looks touched. Line 65) Sotsona’s inner thoughts: That’s right. I’ll have a new family. Line 66) Sotsona’s inner thoughts: Ones that actually attentively care about every detail in my life. Line 67) Sotsona’s inner thoughts: This new life of my mine has blown my expectations off the roof. Line 68) Sotsona’s inner thoughts: I’ve never felt so loved in my life. Sotsona speaks in a sentimental manner, placing her hand to her chest. Sotsona Line 69) Thank you. I’m so grateful for all of you guys. Sotsona’s eyebrows soften, feeling touched. Sotsona Line 70) I’m so lucky to have all of you in my lives. Zephryn happily speaks. Zephryn Line 71) We’re lucky to have you too. Zephryn elbows Celestyn, wanting her to chime in on the conversation. Celestyn speaks in an awkward manner, being caught off-guard. Celestyn Line 72) Yeah. What she said. Zephryn looks at Celestyn disappointingly. Zephryn Line 73) So why don’t we start small and pick out dresses sometime soon? How does that sound? Sotsona smiles. Sotsona Line 74) That would be lovely. Casimir rubs Sotsona’s shoulder warmly. They look at each other happily. Zephryn and Celestyn get wrapped up to leave. Sotsona and Casimir makes their goodbyes at the door. Zephryn leans in to hug Sotsona. They embrace each other warmly. Zephryn speaks in an authentic manner. Zephryn Line 75) You were an excellent host. The food was amazing. Sotsona replies in an appreciative tone, feeling satisfied by Zephryn validation. Sotsona Line 76) Thank you. You’re too sweet. I’m glad that you guys came over. Sotsona Line 77) Let’s get together like this more often. Zephryn nods her head eagerly. Zephryn hugs Casimir. Celestyn awkwardly stares at Sotsona. Sotsona speaks in a considerate manner, ceasing the awkward tension. Sotsona Line 78) I hope you had a good time here. Sotsona speaks in a sympathetic tone. Sotsona Line 79) Go easy on yourself. I know you’re going through a rough time right now. Sotsona speaks in an encouraging manner. Sotsona Line 80) You’re still so young. You have your whole life ahead of you. Sotsona Line 81) You’re friendly and likable… Sotsona speaks in a certain tone. Sotsona Line 82) The right person will come along your way. I just know it. Stay hopeful. Celestyn smiles appreciatively. Celestyn Line 83) Thanks. That means a lot. Celestyn speaks in a reassuring manner. Celestyn Line 84) I really wasn’t looking forward to this gathering, but I’m glad I came. Sotsona Line 85) I’m glad you came too, come over more often anytime. Sotsona Line 86) If you want me to become your maid of honor*, we’re going to have to become besties. *Refer back to line 39 of this episode. Sotsona Line 87) We’re going to be sister-in-laws, so we might as well bond with each other some more. Celestyn offers Sotsona a genuine smile. Celestyn Line 88) I’d like that. Get ready for the wedding dress try on. Celestyn Line 89) But don’t fell too pressured to pick a dress too soon. Celestyn Line 90) I’ll see you around. Celestyn extends her hand out to Sotsona and she happily shakes it. Casimir extends his fist out to Celestyn for a fist bump, giving her a smug expression. Celestyn hesitantly looks at Casimir’s fist but gives in, fist-bumping him back. Celestyn motions for Casimir to lean in closer. Casimir leans in, and Celestyn whispers in his ear. The smug expression on Casimir’s face abruptly drops after hearing what Celestyn whispered in his ear. Zephryn speaks in a warm tone. Zephryn Line 91) See you guys around. Have a good night. Casimir and Sotsona say the same thing, leading to Celestyn and Zephryn finally leaving. Sotsona looks at Casimir in confusion. Line 92) Sotsona’s inner thoughts: I wonder what she said to him just now that made him react like that. Casimir smiles at Sotsona. Casimir slips his arm around her waist, swiftly pulling her into him. Casimir gets on his tippy toes, kisses Sotsona’s cheek. Sotsona blushes. Casimir speaks in a flirtatious manner. Casimir Line 93) What you said during dinner was cute. Sotsona smiles. Sotsona Line 94) All I said was the truth. Sotsona leans in on Casimir, so that he doesn’t have to reach up to her. Sotsona speaks to Casimir flirtatiously. Sotsona Line 95) You’re the one that’s cute. Thank you for being so patient with me about the wedding date. Sotsona Line 96) I really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. Sotsona Line 97) I think I understand why you want to make our relationship public now. Casimir looks at Sotsona sentimentally. He speaks in a reassuring manner. Casimir Line 98) I shouldn’t have mentioned it. I can wait until we officially get married before we publicize our relationship. Sotsona kisses Casimir’s cheek. Sotsona Line 99) Thank you. I’m sorry for making you wait. Casimir glances at Sotsona’s left eye, then right, then lips intimately. His eyes soften in delight. He motions for Sotsona to lean her head closer to his with his hand. Sotsona does just that, and Casimir caresses her face, continuing to gaze into her eyes softly. Casimir leans his face closer to Sotsona’s, planting his lips on hers gently. He wraps his hands around her waist intimately, while Sotsona places her arms on Casimir’s shoulders, letting her hands cup the back of his head, slightly running her fingers through his locs. They close their eyes, with their eyebrows loosening in satisfaction. They let their lips graze each other’s, folding tenderly into their crevices, puckering as they continue their passionate kiss. They pull back from each other, gazing into each other’s eyes lovingly. Sotsona Line 100) I’ll make it up to you. Come up with a compromise. End of episode. © 2024 YoshAuthor's Note
