After three days of intensive care, Rachel was released from the hospital. Jasper picked up Rachel and took her to the international airport in Sapporo.
"We're going straight home?" Rachel asked when she found out her current destination was the airport.
"Yes" answered Jasper in short.
"I haven't said goodbye to Kaori, yet" Rachel said sadly.
"Just calm. I've already said goodbye to you."
"Greetings farewell? What kind of farewell?" Rachel knitted her brows.
"Of course the words goodbye," Jasper laughed at Rachel's irritated look on the face.
"Oh what I think," Rachel breathed a sigh of relief.
"You jealous?"
"of course. You are my husband. Didn't you say I was your wife?"
"Yes, sloppy girl. You're my wife" Jasper pinched Rachel's cheek in a fit of anxiety.
"I want to go back to England soon. I miss our house" Rachel said as they arrived at the airport.
After a 20-hour trip from Japan to the UK, the couple arrived at Birmingham's international airport. They ordered a taxi and went home.
"You tired?" Jasper asked when they got home.
"Yes. I'm so tired," Rachel yawned.
"Then we take a break" Jasper brought the suitcase into the room.
They also laid their bodies on the bed.
"Rachel, we've already admitted to each other. Or we are already a couple of wives in general. Can I?" Jasper mutters. Now they lie facing each other.
"Bo-can what?" Rachel answered with a stern answer.
"You don't understand" Jasper clucked softly.
"Jasper, it's too early. You haven't forgotten Aurora, yet" Rachel turned her back on her husband.
"I can't forget Aurora," Jasper still muttered.
"Why?" Rachel turned her body to face her husband again.
"If you want me to forget about Aurora, then you have to make me amnesiac" Jasper chuckled.
"That's not what I mean," Rachel glared her eyes.
"Come here!" Jasper clutched his wife's body gently.
"It feels so comfortable!" Rachel inhales in the distinctive fragrance of her husband's body.
*****
Jasper and Rachel have started. They are committed to accepting each other's presence. The lecture has started again. Jasper and Rachel enjoy their breakfast full of jokes and laughter and with a pretty warm chatter.
"Come on!" Jasper said as he finished his breakfast.
"Come where?" Rachel asked in confusion.
"Let's go to college together!" Jasper raised his hand.
"It's okay if I'm in your car?" Rachel asked doubtfully.
"of course. You're my wife. I will announce the true status of our relationship" Jasper smiled.
"Are you really going to do that?" Rachel looked surprised.
"Of course," Jasper nodded steadily.
"Then let's go!" Rachel immediately accepted her husband's hand excitedly. They went to college together.
"Jasper, are you sure you're gonna open up our real relationship?" Rachel ascertained.
"of course. I'd say if we were a couple" Jasper replied without a doubt.
"Can you just cancel it?" Rachel turned to her husband who was driving.
"Cancel?" Jasper pulled the car over.
"Why do you want me to cancel it? Surely you don't want Hans to know about our relationship?" A disappointed look on the man's face.
"It's not. I just feel like this is too soon. My friends would be surprised to know that. Especially Aurora," Rachel gave an excuse.
"What's wrong with Aurora?"
"I knew Aurora would be hard to accept. I think she's already in love with you," Rachel seemed claustrophobic about saying that.
"Trust me! Aurora is in love with you. We better just keep going. Secret our marriage! I'm also confused as to how to behave, if people know we're married let alone we're so young."
Jasper seemed silent for a long time.
"Alright if that's what you want" Jasper said disappointedly. Then he drove his car back to campus.
"I went to class first, right?" Rachel quickly got out of her husband's car.
Rachel walked quickly, afraid that someone else might see her get off Jasper's car.
"Rachel?" Shouted someone.
Rachel looked. He saw Hans running towards him.
"Rachel, where have you been?" Hans asked with a breath.
"Me?" Rachel pointed to herself.
"Yes. Which one do you think I'm talking to Rachel?" Hans replied with a smile.
"I just went on vacation for a while," Rachel didn't lie.
"just fine. I can't call you."
"Let's get to class!" Hans was about to grab the blonde girl's hand.
Jasper came and hit Hans' hand.
"Sorry!" Jasper said with a ketus.
"You again!" Hans clucked slowly. Rachel stared silently at her husband's upset face.
"Rachel, don't get close to this guy!" Jasper pulled Rachel's hand and passed from there.
"What is their relationship? Why is Jasper so protective of Rachel?" Hans sees Jasper and Rachel, whose shadow is shrinking.
"Jasper, release!" Rachel let go of her husband's grip.
"Why?" Jasper looks pissed.
"I'm afraid someone's seen us."
"That reason again," Jasper smiled sinisterly. He could not read his wife's attitude. Doesn't Rachel herself need a confession as her wife?
"Let's just let them know we're a married couple" Jasper replied lightly.
"J, I just want to make sure first how you feel about Aurora."
"But not now. It's too sudden" Rachel refused.
"Then it's up to you!" Jasper goes into his class leaving Rachel alone.
"J!" Sapa Aurora who today looks very beautiful.
"Where have you been?" Aurora asked as she sat herself beside the man who had secretly married her.
"I went to Japan and took a vacation there" Jasper replied as he looked at Rachel who had entered the classroom.
"To Japan? Why don't you take us?" Asked Archie who was standing behind Aurora.
"Yes. Why don't you take me? I want to go to Mount Fuji and the Aokigahara Forest" Aurora said.
"Aokigahara Forest? You want to end your life there?" Jasper laughed at Aurora's words. Aokigahara Forest is a creepy forest in Japan. The forest is a place where people end their lives.
"No. I just want to create content there. Who knows, my social media followers are rising fast" Aurora laughed.
"You are beautiful. You can gain popularity without having to create content" Archie chimed in.
"really? J, am I really pretty?" Aurora tidied her hair and asked Jasper for his opinion.
Rachel who was sitting behind them secretly wanted to know the answer from her husband.
"Of course you're pretty. All the women in this world are beautiful with each other," Jasper replied calmly.
"That's in general. What do you think is interesting in me?" Aurora does not give up asking for the opinion of the man she has started to love.
"Pulling off of you? You're good," Jasper turned to Rachel. He wanted to see his wife's expression.
"Other than that your hair is so pretty!" Jasper seemed to be deliberately praising Aurora.
Rachel was also upset. He accidentally slammed his phone on the table.
"One the same!" Inner Jasper who saw Rachel was upset.
"Oh yes, J. We want to play at your house today. May it?" Aurora Pinta.
