It´s been five months now. I remember it so well. I kissed him, fell to ground and hugged him so hard, I think I choked him. I squealed like a piglet, I think I cried too. Hell, I'm crying now. I cry too much, tell me something I don't know. For the first time in my entire life it felt like everything is as it's supposed to be, like everything fell in place, the puzzle complete. I heard Sasuke laugh lowly in my ear then, when I hugged him. The first time I've ever heard him laugh. It could be that or it was a sound he emitted because I was strangling him with my hug.

That's how my mother, Tsunade, found us, on the ground in front of the limousine, right outside the airport, hugging and kissing the living daylights out of each other. She said that lots of people formed a semi-circle around us and watched the whole spectacle going down. All the women blubbered when they figured out Sasuke was proposing. I didn't care that they were there, and I was certain Sasuke didn't either. We finally had each other and the rest didn't matter.

I went home with Tsunade and she couldn't stop smiling. She said I was glowing brighter than the sun, but I didn't mind. All I could think about was that I was with the man I had always loved and that my left hand felt a bit heavier with the beautiful engagement ring on it. The diamond sparkled in the sun, almost giving it a natural light. I couldn't stop looking at it. This was the second time I was marrying Uchiha Sasuke, but the first time wearing this.

It was marvelous.

Three days later, he invited me to his house, where his parents and brother were present, too. He told them squarely that we were getting married, again. But this time, very much in love.
Itachi swiftly punched his little brother in the shoulder, saying that it was time finally. And you're not going to believe this, but he came and hugged me. On his own. Yeah, I was shocked too.

Mikoto smiled at us, and told us that she had been hoping we would end up together. In the beginning she disapproved of our relationship because I was a maid, but later she realized that I truly cared for her son, unlike Karin. But all the time she kept her mouth shut, assured that Sasuke would figure it out on his own. And he did. She hugged us both at the same time, then pinched Sasuke's cheeks and said that she was happy for us.

Then there was Fugaku. He demanded to know what happened between his youngest son and Sarina Karin. Sasuke told us everything, because I hadn't heard the full story of that either, and I was curious to know every detail. Sasuke explained that Karin planned everything along with Tatiana Kiyoshi. I couldn't believe how low they had sunk.

After that Fugaku turned to me, telling me with a frown that he had to apologize for all the shit he had said and done to me. I glared at him. I said that he was an unemotional, rude, insulting bastard who brought me misery every time he even glanced my way, let alone opened his mouth. Mikoto gasped when I said that to him in his face, Itachi smirked and Sasuke tried to keep his face serious and not start smirking also. He pulled it off, though.

Fugaku stared at me with wide eyes for a moment. I bet he was shocked that I dared saying that to him, but it was true and he knew it. He said that he was sorry and was unable to keep looking me in the eyes, so he turned away in shame.

My face cracked from the glare. That was all it took. A sincere apology of the constant-harsh Fugaku and I forgave him for all he has done. We smiled, well, uh, he smirked.

Without further ado he welcomed me into the family.

And so everybody heard it, heir of the Uchiha clan Uchiha Sasuke and heir of the Senju clan Haruno Sakura, were going to marry. Like, again.
