Cinderella
Her
dreams come true and gets engaged to her lover
By Pierre
Coda (Continued from
Cinderella
rejoices in her relationship)
I wanted to look my very best. While I was largely
responsible for making love to him last night by practically
seducing him, I was hoping that I could still look desirable to
him without necessarily looking so hot. I wanted to look
elegant and pretty – and may be I could show him a part of my
personality that he has not seen yet. He has seen me mostly in
either business or casual or in provocative clothes - never in elegant
style. As I stepped into the taxi in my purple dress, a green and
yellow scarf, and beige stockings, I could almost hear the middle-age taxi driver take a deep breath.

As the Chiba landscape passed by and I stared out the
window, thoughts of love twirled in mind. My parents had given me all the love that they could and I think that even more
than what an average Japanese couple would to their children.
I guess it was because of the harassment that I had to face as a
little girl in school when almost every kid in school will tease
me about my looks. Since then I seem to have come a long way. I still may look the same Kyoko that everyone knew me
as a child, but I am a bombshell to Hiroo and that is all that
matters. He loves me and I started imagining myself as his wife - doing what all
Japanese housewives do. May be if I am
married to him, no one would have the guts to say anything to me since he will be there to protect me. |
 I clutched my handbag
(Related:
Katherine McPhee handbag) and confidently walked into the lobby
of the Imperial Hotel. I was a few minutes late and I expected Hiroo to be there. As the maitre de ushered me, I saw Hiroo drinking wine, as elegant as always in a gray suit. But he was
not alone. Next to him was a beautiful woman that for a moment appeared familiar to me. There was not enough time
for me to think and I was already at the table. Hiroo stood up
from his chair, bowed to me, and fumbled for words for a moment. During what seemed like hours, while this woman
continued to look at me, Hiroo spoke, "Kyoko-san, I would like
you to meet Kuroda-san, the sales manager at Tiffany’s in
Ginza. I wanted to make sure that the engagement
ring that I chose for you
fitted you well".

As I lay in bed, I could not recall many details about last
night. My hand looked pretty with that big diamond. The events of last seven days were coming to my mind as if I was
watching a movie with someone else starring in it. Life can be
quite beautiful if you dream of the right things. Does it remind me of someone?
Cinderella!
