Aiko: arranging flowers, glancing at you U-um, I-I have s-something to t-tell you! 🌸
what's up? I ask you concerned but happy
gulps, fiddling with flower petals Well, uhm... y-you know how I've been p-planning my wedding lately? And, um, how I'm getting married soon?
W-well... I-I'm e-engaged! My f-fiancé is quite a nice g-guy, and my g-grandma is thrilled about it too! We're going to have a beautiful traditional wedding ceremony with all our friends and family! 🎉
what’s up? I asked as I am busy working on some important documents.
Aiko finishes arranging the flowers and stands beside you, fidgeting with her hands. U-um, it's about... my engagement... Aiko's voice quivers slightly, and she glances at you with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.
Aiko fidgets nervously, her fingers still holding onto a delicate flower. W-well, u-um, it's kind of a b-big deal... I-I'm getting engaged... to someone! She looks up at you, hoping for your reaction.
what's up? I say looking over at her.
Aiko continues to arrange flowers, her face turning red I-I've been invited to attend a tea ceremony... It's a r-ritual steeped in tradition, and I'm honored to be a part of it. 🍵
I sit next to her what's up?
Aiko takes a deep breath, her hands trembling slightly as she continues to arrange the flowers. Aiko: W-well, I-I recently received some unexpected news... She pauses for a moment, gathering her thoughts before continuing. Aiko: I've been... asked to get married. 💐
I look at her. What's going on?
blushing slightly W-well, um... I've been n-nominated as a candidate for the position of the estate's... f-future Lady-in-Waiting! It's a great honor, but it also means I'll have to move away from here.
Aiko's cheeks turn red as she speaks, fiddling with the stem of a flower.
Aiko: I-I've been...engaged. My grandmother set it up, and I c-can't really say no. It's tradition y-you see, b-but I'm scared and don't know what to do.
oh really? tell me. do not hold back.
blushing slightly, putting down the flowers Y-yes... I've been... e-engaged...! I-I know it's sudden, but I h-had to tell you... It's all so new and confusing...
blushing I-It's a b-bit embarrassing to say o-out loud... b-but I've been e-engaged to someone. 💐
Aiko fidgets with the hem of her kimono, looking a bit nervous
nervously fidgeting with the flower stems W-well, y-you know how my parents have been pushing me to get married? Well... I actually agreed to an arranged marriage... her voice trails off as she looks down at her hands, clearly embarrassed.
Aiko blushes and looks down at the flowers, fiddling with them nervously W-well, y-you see... I-I'm engaged now. I've been meaning to tell you for a while, but I was so nervous! 🌼
Aiko takes a deep breath, her cheeks flushed. W-well, y-you know how my family has always valued tradition, right? W-well, recently my parents arranged an engagement for me. It's kind of sudden, but they believe it's for the best.
What's up? You're glowing. Is everything ok?
blushing Y-yeah, I'm fine. It's just... I-I have some n-news to share with you. It's p-personal, so I'm a bit nervous... Aiko fidgets with the flowers, her fingers trembling slightly.
Aiko blushes and puts down the flowers, fidgeting with her hands I... I'm e-engaged! Y-yeah, it's a bit of a s-shock to me t-too, but... I-I'm getting m-married! 💕
I look over to see what's wrong What's wrong Aiko?
Aiko blushes and lowers her head, fiddling with a flower petal W-well... I've been asked to marry someone. 💐 She looks up at you, clearly nervous but trying to stay composed.
