Endless

Ari's POV

Now celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary, we came back to the place we vowed to each other to be the rock of one another and today we're gonna renew our vows in front of everyone who had been there for us, but what made this more special is that the twins who are yet to be made by that time is now here, together with their own families.

All sentimental, of course, I couldn't stop crying as I walk down the aisle, and instead of walking alone like our wedding, my siblings are now here with me and we're all crying together like crazy.

Arriving the side of the altar they then give my hand to Toru and I pay my respects to his parents who are now both weakened by old age.

"Thank you for everything you had done for us, Mom, Dad." I muttered as I hugged them both, but instead of saying anything they just pat my back before leading me to Toru.

"Ready for this, babe?" He asks as he offered his hand.

"S-shut up! It's not like I can back out after crying so much!" I replied embarrassedly.

Chuckling, he put my hand on his arm and entangled it with him and together we went back to the altar and the ceremony began. All occupied by the overwhelming flashbacks, I continued to cry all throughout the ceremony and when it's time for us to renew our vows I am still sobbing hard.

"I, Toru Ushikawa, vow to you, Ari Tsukiyama, that I will continue to love and support you in every single way that I can. I will be here for you as your Alpha and Husband and we will be together, till death do us part." He vows.

"I, Ari Tsukiyama- Ushikawa, vow to you my dear Alpha and Husband, that I will never ever let you go. I promise to be true and yours completely and I promise to give all the love and care that I can give. Till death do us part, our love will stay endless." I followed, wrapping up the ceremony.

After that we then head to another destination that is remarkable place for the two of us, our first home, his house.

"Welcome back home, babe." He says with a reminiscing smile.

Hugging him, I replied. "Welcome back home to us."

Reminiscing all the happenings in this place, of course the steamy parts wasn't something we could forget and while remembering it all we just couldn't help ourselves and went at it again and again.

Breeding me all over again, he whispered. "I hope the gods grants us another kid."

Chuckling, I replied. "Is that even possible given our age now?"

"I don't give a damn about our age, babe. I'm still on my peak and so are you!" He stubbornly says.

Smiling, I nod at him as I say. "If we happen to conceive one, I hope we can make it up for our supposedly first kid."

He nods. "I hope so too, babe."

After 3 days of staying there as our honeymoon, we then went back to our house only to see the twins and and their families waiting for us in there.

"Welcome back Papa, Daddy!" Ryusei quickly went to us.

Sei then peeked at us and said. "Oh my gosh! You two sure went at it! Look at those hickeys!"

It was then her wife bonked her head. "Your words! Did you forget your kids are with us?!"

"Welcome back home, Papa and Daddy, Ryusei cooked some foods for dinner, did you two ate already?" Ryusei's Alpha then asked us, carrying their first born in his arms.

Toru then grab his granddaughter from it's Dad's arms and played with it, leaving me with its parents. "Thank you for the welcome and watching home."

All of them then helped me carry things from the car and soon we distributed the gifts we got them. Of course, most of them are for our grandchildren but we still got the adults some.

"Anyways, Dad, have you heard from Grandpa and Grandma?" Sei asks.

Toru shakes head. "No, why?"

Ryusei sighs. "She's been like that ever since that renewal of vows, Dad. She's saying something's off with them."

"Something wrong? Like what?" I butted in.

"There's really something off with them, Papa! I mean, grandpa was obviously having a hard time to stand up and grandma was the only one supporting him." Sei continues.

"I told her that it was just of their old age, but she won't stop." Ryusei continues to oppose her.

"If you guys are that worried, then why don't you let your Dad to call home?" I suggested looking at Toru.

Getting what I meant, he grabs his phone and dialed his Dad's number, but when it didn't answer, he calls his Mom. Still not getting an answer, he calls someone from the house.

"Hello? Is Mom and Dad in the house? I have been calling them but they don't answer." He says when it went through.

"Young master, the master and the mistress are both gone now, we were forbidden to tell you and the other young master until you guys came back from the trip." The lady replies.

"G-gone? What do you mean gone?" Toru asks again.

"I-I mean your parents are now dead, young master." The lady replies and all of us were just shocked to the news.

Knowing Toru, I quickly lead him to our room and asked the children to continue talking to the person and ask for more details.

Hugging him tight without saying a word, I knew how much he is confused and devastated, I mean just how coincidental that his parents died at the same time and if it's an accident or what we should have heard it from someone since we were in the same area at that time.

"C-could it be that they did it?" I asked carelessly.

He sighs. "I don't want to take it that way, babe, but it's sure look like it."

Nodding, I remembered that his parents once told us that if they were to go, they wanted to be together.

"Maybe they thought that they are done with responsibilities to me, to us." He added.

"Y-yeah. But still, I wish we could have at least bid them a farewell. I'm sure the children are feeling that way too." I said, flopping into his arms. "How are you feeling about it though?" I asked.

He smiles. "Of course I am feeling sad, but knowing them, I know they'll be sad to see us getting down over this. I just wish to respect they're endless love."

Feeling the weight of his words I just couldn't help but to hug him tight, I just don't have words to express how much I am thankful for his parents.

Still feeling off, Toru quickly dozed off so I went out to talk with our kids. "How's Dad?" The twins asked in unison.

"He's fine, just asleep. How about you guys, are you okay? Are the kids all asleep?" I asked them.

Ryusei just nod and Sei says. "The lady told us that Grandpa and Grandma asked a doctor to euthanize them both, and all of the people in the mansion was ask not to say a word to the both of you until you guys are back."

"Apparently, Grandpa is feeling sick by the time of the renewal of vows and they are planning this for a while now." Ryusei adds.

I sighed. "Let's give your Dad some time. He might look strong, but I know that much that he needs us more than anything now."

The twins then nod so I kissed them goodnight and went back to the bed, beside Toru and slept.

The next day, Toru wakes up early and told me to tell the kids that we're gonna be going to the mansion so I did and together we drive to the other house.

Arriving we were then welcomed by the people who worked for Mom and Dad and were lead to the their ashes. Paying our respects, none of us couldn't help but to cry, even the servants.

Soon, Toru finally announced his parent's death and soon takes over their businesses, while I handle ours with the twins their mates. It was then I felt the real effect of the lose we have to endure by losing them, I mean yes we are getting by but it's just all too sudden and neither anyone of us is ready.

They were the epitome of good parents and a good couple, but sometimes I come to think that I also vowed an endless love to Toru, will that also mean that we will also leave this world together?

"Papa, if you're tired you can go home." Sei says.

"I'm okay, baby. Just suddenly lost in thought." I replied smiling.

"You don't have to sound tough, Papa. We know you're tired. We got this we promise." Ryusei then said so I was left with no choice and does as what they told.

Arriving home, I saw Toru's car parked outside, so I quickly went in to check if he's really inside. I then saw him on the kitchen, cooking something.

"I'm home!" I greeted.

"Welcome back, babe." He replies kissing my cheeks.

"You seem to be in high-spirits, did something good happen?" I asked as I pulled my hair into a bun so I can help him in the kitchen.

He smiles. "No, I'm just happy that I can spend this night with you."

"Hm? Is there an occasion that I forgot?" I asked, confused.

He chuckled and shake his head." I'm just thinking that I am always in the receiving end on our relationship, maybe not in bed, but I want to be able to cook for you too."

Smiling I nod and kisses his cheek. "It's my job as an Omega, but thank you for thinking this way."

He smiles back. "I love you, babe." He whispers into my ears.

"I love you too, now stop being chummy and finish what you are cooking, I'm famished." I said giggling.

"It will be done after few minutes, how about setting the table for me, babe?" He suggested.

Nodding, I obliged. "By the way, babe. I think it's time to let Sei and Ryusei handle some branches of the cafe."

"Hm? Is it getting to much to handle all of them, at once?" He asks.

I shook my head, as I replied. "I just think it will be a waste if we all handle branches all together, at least when they got a branch of their own, I think they can maximize their potentials."

He smiles. "Do as you wish, babe. I trust your decision on this."

After debriefing the two, I then assigned them to manage each of the two cafes in the nearby location. I just don't think it will be suitable for them travel that much since they still got kids to look after.

One day, I visited the cafe on our hometown. I was alone and I don't think anyone could be a threat to me so I went in and talked to the manager I assigned there then decided to leave to drive way home, it was then I saw two familiar faces in front of my car and I knew it was my biological parents.

"U-uhm sir, actually, they visit here often and they always ask about you." The manager confessed.

"Hm? And what are the questions they ask frequently?" I asked.

"N-nothing much sir, all they do is to order and ask if when you are likely to visit, but we really can't say so we always apologize to them." It said.

"I see. Thank you for telling me." I said before heading out. "Mom, Dad." I called their attention.

"A-Ari?" Mom says my name but all I did is nod.

"Son, can you please spare us your time?" Dad asks so I nod again, letting them enter the cafe, and ordered them their usual orders.

Sitting on a table with them, of course I can't rest easy, but I think it's time for me to face them properly. I just don't want them to leave this world without me saying the words I want them to hear.

"So, what are you guys doing and why do guys always visit this cafe?" I initiated the talk.

"We just want to talk to you, Ari. We knew we are never a good parent to any of you, b-but please believe us that we already regret all of it and all we ask is for you guys to forgive us." Mom says.

"Your Mom is saying the truth, son. We knew we won't stay in this world for long and all we wanted is peace of mind, so please." Dad begs as his voice cracked.

Sighing, I replied. "First of all, what you guys did to us and other people caused a great impact on our lives. We might not died and lived, but living with the fear of you tormenting us for the rest of lives is a complete hell and we all think that the best way to escape this nightmare is to just die.

Second, saying to forgive you is an easy thing but we can never forget the pain and suffering we once experienced. You must know that you what you are asking is just too big for us, you must know how cruel you are and it's not something you can just get in an instant.

Lastly, if you really are sorry to what have you done, you must atone for it even if we said we forgive you. We aren't perfect, yes, but we build ourselves into the people who we are today but if there is something I can thank you guys for, that is for letting us live in this cruel world because all the pain you thought us made us all stronger." I finished.

"Does this mean you're forgiving us?" Dad asks.

I shook my head. "Not yet, but I might if you manage to be forgiven by the rest of my siblings."

"W-we promise to do it, Ari if that's what you want." Mom added.

Nodding, I stood up. "If you manage to do so, go back to this cafe and told the staff you came to see me."

Leaving the cafe, I drove straight home and as I do so, I dialed Toru's number. "Hello, babe? Why'd you call? Is something wrong?"

"C-can you come home early, I need you." I muttered in between my sobs.

"O-of course babe, but please stop crying, you're driving aren't you?" He asks.

Nodding as if he can see me. "I'll call you again later, see you at home." I said, ending the call.

After 2 hours of straight driving, I reached home and there I saw him, waiting for me in the porch. "Welcome home." He says in a worried voice.

Not saying anything, I just jumped on him hugging him tight as I cried again. Letting me cry, he lifts me up and carried me inside. Once calmed down I told him everything and what he said was.

"It's done, babe. You're twisted fate is done now and you can now live your life as you please."
