"Come on you ready?" The bridesmaid ask her.
Yes, her. She is getting married. Getting married to the Son of the Men. Getting married to the person she fell in love for 7 years.
They decided it. They fixed it. They went on with it except for the sudden proposal Luhan did.
Leo got proposed by Luhan with her family's help. She was moved to tears. She still have the blue proposal letter with her. Still holding it tight.
Leo wrote a letter back for him too during her nights alone in her room. A letter from her heart.
Dear Lu,
Luhan. Lu. Bii. All this name I gave you. I will definitely and always want my lips to say it over and over again till death. With you letter next to me, I'm writing this now for you back. I know a single page will never be enough for me to explain my love for you, so I will prove it to you better when you are officially mine. All those years we have been through is prove enough for me to believe in us, to believe in our bond, to believe in our trust, to believe that we can go through the mountain that will be ahead of us. I have no idea what I'm crapping now. And I'm not as perfect as I might look,you have known me for my flaws and imperfectness and you still accepted me. Its middle of the night and this is the third paper I've written. The other two didn't come out as I expected. So my dear love of life, with all this I know I'm ready to be your wedded wife.
She insert the letter in a same blue envelope and stick a love shape on it with a smiley.
______________________________________________________________________
"Smile~" Said the photographer. Leo smiled widely.
"Leo?" Leo's mum and dad came in.
"Mum! Dad!" She got up with her bride gown and moved towards her parents who were standing and smiling at her. Happiness is seen in their eyes.
"Leo darling," Her mum was on the verge of crying.
"Mum, shhh," She hugged her.
"You are pretty Leo, pretty and grown up and someone else's now," Said her dad.
Leo just hugged her dad.
"Be happy Leo,"
"Thanks dad and mum,"
They took a picture together.
_______________________________________________________________________
So this is it uh? My day. I'm finally someone else's wife.
The bridesmaid and make up stylist did a good job on me. I can say that.
Dad's next to me. He is ready to let me to and hold up his hand, Luhan's.
I took a deep breath and started walking out of the room towards the Grand Wedding Hall.
I know Luhan is there. Waiting for me. With my letter in his hand.
All suit and tie. Hair combed up. Just like my imaginations. A smiled automatically came.
"You ready?" Dad asked. He covered the veil I was wearing properly.
"Yes, dad,"
"I love you Leo," He smiled. My dad. I love him too.
Then the doors to the hall open, and my heart starts to beat wildly.
Is this it? I'm all so nervous and excited.
The Man I'm seeing in front is all it takes for me to move forward across the aisle with my dad.
Memories came drowning me with tears all the sudden. When we first met. When we first laughed at each others jokes. When he first came to me to confess, the time I refused him and walked way. The way I felt for not talking to him like it used to be because I wanted him back. The first time I held his hands intertwined. The first kiss we had in an storage room while hiding. The day I slept with him cuddling. Meeting his parents,meeting my parents. Fought because of jealousy, fought because of ignorance. All these I've been through with him and more to come, I know.
People around me are whispering. I'm not sure its the ones I want to hear or not. My ears started to feel block and my breath are not consistent anymore.
My heart beat increases but I'm still walking, walking towards my man.
I saw him clearly now. My man with his groom mate. Standing on top of the end of the aisle looking forward to hold my hand into his. Steady and proud. His smile is making my leg wobble.
"She's yours," My dad handed me to him. I thank my dad and smiled at Luhan.
"Hello there," He whispered to me. I mouthed him, "Hello, handsome,"
Then we turn and faced the priest. Its the vow that made us strong. The promise that I made, the promise that he made. The rings we exchanged, its give us a whole new world ahead of us to see soon. Yes, a whole new life too.
"Now you may kiss the Bride," Luhan kept staring at me all this time and he slowly opened my veil.
Crowd started cheering.
"I love you," He said and kissed me.
"I love you too," I said after the small sensational kiss we shared.
And our love is finally sealed.
Sealed with vows, promises, memories, love, and rings.
We turn to face the crowd and I saw my parents smiling at me.I'm glad I'm here now. Glad to have hi next to me. Glad of all the things happened. And now for the after party!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You ready babe?" Luhan was wearing a bow and suit with is push down hair that makes me melt with is eyes.
Its the after party and everyone is drinking, eating and enjoying the night. Songs are blasting, people are dancing. I had a small cup of wine from the ceremony and still sipping it.
"Oh yess," I smiled and took his hand to dance around with him.
Me and him.
The song became a melo song, people around us started moving slowly and with their couples/partners.
We moved according to the music too.
"You are just perfect," Luhan caress me slowly across my cheek and smiled. He never moved his eyes away from me.
I looked at him. Deep emotions were shared between this unspeakable moments and only we understand.
I smiled back.
"Thank you for being with me," I said and lied of his chest while moving.
To listen to his heart beat pumping is like serenity. Calm and strong.
He took me in his arm and hugged me. Just the way I wanted it always. Tight and comfy.
"So we have a big day tomorrow?" He said.
"Oh? What day?"
He had this very serious teasing smirk and my blood ran out.
He took my hand and showed our rings.
"We are married Leo," He winked.
Married, yes. So?
"Honeymoon?" I asked him.
"Not really, I'm still saving that for next week,"
"Then?"
"We can still play," He whispered at my ear.
"Play?"
"Yes, play. Have some good stretching time with you,"
"Stretching time with me alone?" Alone?
Oh oh...now I got it!
"Ya! You pervert!" I hit him playfully in his shoulder
"You are slow Leo!" He showed his tongue and I kissed him.
Yeap, thats us. And my married life.

I Wish I Wish.
Why am I always like this?
Why am I so gullible and vulnerable to everything?
Why am I not selfish for myself?
Why?
I wish I could just get out of this place for now and never come back for a year or so.
Would some one at least care?
I know few. Yes, I know they do.
But who am I with now is not what I want.
I wanna run away. Isnt it cool to just go some where far, forgetting all your past and just think of your present and where you are now in this new world? No one to think about, no studies to concentrate, no phone calls, and its all about you.
Who am I to the people who sometime see me and sometimes I become a invisible cloak?
Am I just a usage?
Existential Crisis. Yes that's the word.
I wish there is a song that could describe my feelings.
Existential Crisis. Yes that's the word.

Love You.
Jessica
I hated schools, I hated my college life and now here I am running late for my next lecture class in my university life.
Most of all, I hated being around people. Its always those who look down at me, or either never look at me. I was not the one of a kind girl, but I am the non-typical too. I am just me.
"Hello?" I answered my phone while running up the stairs.
"Jessi? Why are you panting early in the morning?" Mum asked me. She calls me everyday to check on me and my condition since I stay away from them.
"I-, Mum, I-" I really was panting badly. "Mum, I talk to you later, I'm fine, just late for class, see ya, love you!"
"Okay darling, love you," She kept the phone.
I was one floor below my next class. I am not a good runner or what, I am not a thin skinny girl with long legs. I have fat on my body, i have short legs and long messy hair that I dont really comb sometimes. I am 56 kg and for a model looking girl, its not normal. So I am just a short chubby girl and being friends with me is a disease, that's what people think of me. Do they? I rarely had friends and if I do, they only asked for my help and gone.
I was never bothered about it, since it always happens to me-
"Excuse me, excuse me!" I heard someone running and couldnt really catch where the voice is coming from, I turn to look behind me no one and when I took my last step up the stairs, BANG!
What the-
And the next thing I realise I was falling down the stairs backwards, with a whole plate of sauce on my shirt.
"Oh my, are you ok? I'm sorry. I'm sorry! I, ur clothes, err.."
I went black for a few second till I can see myself again. And I got what he meant. I was soaked with his plate of sauce. Seems like he is a culinary student who stuck his head into a science students head.
Well, I'm obviously already late for class, thanks to my alarm, and now here it is now. This disaster.
"Its ok, I'm fine. I could need you help though," I showed my hand so he can carry me up straight, I think I hurt my back.
"Oh,sorry," He help me out.
And for the first time, I realize how close he was to me. And also how good looking he actually is. This random boy who we bumped into each other. Oh? Since when did I started observing boys, Jessi?!
"If you dont mind, I can bring you back to the student clinic, you can get changed in there,"
"No, no, I'm really really fine,I'll manage its myself. You seemed like you were in hurry, you should better be going,"
"Oh, I, errmm, but, you-"
"Look, I can go back and change, I stay in the uni hostel so dont worry," I smiled at him. For the first time,I actually smiled at a guy after so long.
"Sorry, and I'll see you soon," He took up his plate and hesitated a little, he saw the mess we made and sighed.
That made me chuckle. He finally took a final look at me and went of.
Well, I have to change then.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kattley
"Look you cant be doing this! Always! Its always me! Why am I the only one feel like I'm getting hurt! I cant do this anymore, Jake, I really can't and even though I tried so many times, I feel like a useless pig,"
I was crying. This is it. I know this is it. If I continue this relationship, I would be doing stupid things that could hurt me.
"Kate, do you know what you are talking? Are you drunk or something? Its late now, you should go and sleep,we will talk about it tomorrow," He said on the other side of the phone calmly.
"First, I know what I'm talking, I am not drunk and its up to me when I want to talk about it. No, we really are done Jake. We are done. Don't you get it? I'm breaking up," I cant believe I said it. After 3 years of relationship with him, I can't seem to think of breaking up with this guy I'm so much in love with. But as years pass by, he wasnt giving in anything I thought he would, he didn't play his role in a way I thought he would. All I wanted was him to love me, that's all. But no, its been 2 years since we started fighting and getting back because I wanted to be with him. I was blind to go back to him.
But now its so clear to me that I should move on. Move on with my life, move on to the new one that is awaiting for me. My friends who I neglected, my family who I ignored, all these people I missed while I was in a relationship because I was too blind.
"Kate, don't do this,"
"I'm sorry Jake, this is the only, onl-" I was controlling it but I know I can't stand it anymore. I'm so exhausted that I cannot do this anymore. No more.
What else you can say when you know your own boyfriend was in another relationship besides her?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rose
"What are you doing Rose?" My friend asked me, when I bought a card for Alex.
"A birthday card, can't you see it?" I Showed her.
"Oh, come on, not again," She sigh under her big black sunglasses.
"What?" I looked at her.
"You are sending all these gifts you bought for him without your name. For Heaven's sake, how on earth will he know that it was from you? All these years you have sent him so many presents and did u receive anything back? No. Why are you doing this. Why can't you just go and give it to him yourself?"
"I can't,"
"Why can't you? That's my question!"
"I just can't. I-,uh, forget about it. I'm buying this," I took the card and went over to the cashier.
Yes, this has been my habit ever since, I had an eye on the Mr.Perfect of our work place Alex. He is the all in one guy I've ever met. Just the person all the girls will fall for and guess what? I'm one of them too.
He talks to all the girls in our office. He goes out with them, but never once was I one of them.
So I decided to send him gifts by not stating my name but just Miss. Mysterious.
Whenever he receives something I delivered, his face lighten up, because I know he would like it.
Seeing him happy is just enough for me because I know I am making him happy even though he doesnt know it.
Its been 12 months ever since this routine has taken place, I had always had this urge of telling him all of the gifts he receive are from me. But I know I don't dare.
*****
It was my late night shift and I was packing up to get back home.
Then I heard the main lobby door swung open with Alex on the shoulder of a women. A pretty one.
Alex on the other hand was, was drunk.
He came in wobbling over his desk and the girl helped him out. I was looking at both of them, when the girl noticed me.
"Hey, I need some help here,"
I walk towards them and stood still, staring at her.
What were this two doing at the middle of the night?
"Hi, Errm, I saw this address in his namecard, you must know him or something? Please, do help him. He is drunk,"
"Oh?" I looked at the fallen Alex on his table top.
"I have to go, sorry," She left the lobby. With just her and him alone.
I stared at the door after she left. What am I suppose to do now?! I dont even know his house!
"Errm Alex?" I shook him, but it doenst give any effect to his drunkeness. "Alex," I shook him again.
Sigh. Now what?
I called my usual taxi driver that drives me to my apartment.
He help me up with Alex up to my house.
"Thank you, and sorry for the trouble," I thanked the driver.
"No worries sweetie,"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just finished my class and was walking to have my lunch. I have a group assignment where I was teamed up with few of my classmates I rarely talk to.
Text message
Meet up at discussion room 2 at 3pm. Thank you all.
Leader.
I replied an 'OK-"
BANG!
Oh-oh!
"Hey, becareful where you are going!"
"I'm sorry, I didnt see- Hey! Its you again," It was him. The boy whose sauce poured on me like a fondue.
"Hi," I have no idea why but I think my cheek just turn like a tomato.
"Hello, how are you? I'm really sorry about that day, I never had done this before," He laughed though and I saw he had a dimple no two.
What's happening to me?! I can feel my stomach flutter. Jessica, keep hold of yourself! He is just a random guy who will leave you once you get to know him.
"I'm fine, haha, its ok, it was my first time experiencing it too. I mean the fondue thing, oh I mean getting soaked," Oh gosh, i am not even talking properly!
"Hahhaha, you have a great sense of humor," He said smiling. "Oh man, ..look at this, we have been talking and I dont even know your name,"
"Jessi," I offered my hand. He took it, "Sebastian,"
I nodded and repeated his name in my mind, Sebastian.
Well, I didnt know he would be part of my life after all.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I broke up with him,Kai," I told him. Kai the boy who seems to have a crush on me ever since we were in high school. I didn't wanted it to distract our friendship though. He was my best friend beside the other two girls I had.
"Kate, listen, you made the right decision, its ok, calm down" I was crying in front of him. Kai is the person who I can tell him anything anytime I want.
"I do? I dont even know what I did!" I burst again.
I can see Kai wanted to hug me but he was resisting himself. He knows if he does he will never let me go.
"Kai, I-"
"Shhh," He came closer and finally hugged me. He enclose his strong muscle around me. It strangely felt comfortable. "Shh,"
********
I was in the canteen with my friend when I received a call from Jake.
"I need to see you, where are you," I felt my heart jumped. I promised to not to see him again. But here he is coming to me everytime I avoid him.
"I am not seeing you,I'm busy," I said. I was with Kai. And I'm sure he knows who I am talking to by the way I am talking.
I kept the phone and we continued eating.
"So this is who you are busy with uh? The high school jerk?"Came a voice I dreaded the most. I saw Kai's muscle tighten. I looked at him and he quieted down.
"What do you want?" I stood up leveling up to him.
And here it goes again. I would always analyse Jake when he is close to me. His sharp curve jawline, his strong scent of perfume that I used to fall for. The light shade brown eyes of him. I'm doing it again. I'm falling again.
"So you hooked up with someone in just a few days? Wow, that's not surprising,"
"Jake,no, you know Kai is my friend. He will always be my friend," Kai flinched at my words but he was still looking at me and Jake.
"Is that so? I dont think he wants to be friends with you,"
"What is wrong with you! I told you-"
"Back off, man," I heard Kai moved behind me.
"Oh, here comes her little knight,"
"Jake, stop it,"
"Oh you think I will just let you go? So you think this is the end of both of us? Not that easy my darling, not that easy,"
"What are you talking about?" I had this weird feeling again.
"I have pictures of you, being intimate with me," He smirked.
And all the blood in my body washed out. I turned pale. I know what he is thinking. No!
In a split second I saw Kai holding up Jake's collar and banged him on the wall of the canteen.
"No! Kai, dont! Stop it," I tried pulling him away but he was too strong.
"You never deserved her in the first place at all! You cheater!" Kai swore and punch him in his face that I was terrified.
"Kai, come on, stop it!" I was tearing up. No, this is not happening.
Kai pulled up and kick him one last time and walked off. I stood there looking at Jake's swollen face and all I could think was the memories we had, was it all just fake? How could he be so mean? So devilish in his angel body?
I turned and ran after Kai.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I never once turn to look at Alex after what happen that day. He stayed over and I woke up early and went of to wear after writing a note on the bedpost, where he could see.
"You were drunk yesterday, so I picked you to my house, hope you were ok with it.
You can take a shower and drink up something from the fridge,"
The moment he entered the office, I saw him changed. He wasnt the same Alex I used to see. He was more imperfect. I saw his tie wasnt tied properly, he wore a mismatching pant and T-shirt. He rushed into this cubicle and sat.
*************
I was walking outside of my office building after work,when someone called my name,"Rose?"
"Alex?"
"It was you isn't it?"
"Uh? You who?"
"Its you, I know its you. Your handwriting its so similar!" He was frustrated I can tell that.
"What-"
"Those gifts you send me, those gift cards and so on, its you," He said it firmly.
"I-I, no, its not me. No, its not me!" I pushed him and bolted pass him without turning. What is happening? Why can't I just admit it? It was me!
Yes, it was me. I gave you all those. But I don't dare to agree? How pathetic I could be! Without knowing, I was tearing up.
I wish, he knew. I wish, I could be the someone he likes. I wished I could just bury myself and not do this anymore as what my friend said.

"So this is who you are busy with uh? The high school jerk?"Came a voice I dreaded the most. I saw Kai's muscle tighten. I looked at him and he quieted down.
"What do you want?" I stood up leveling up to him.
And here it goes again. I would always analyse Jake when he is close to me. His sharp curve jawline, his strong scent of perfume that I used to fall for. The light shade brown eyes of him. I'm doing it again. I'm falling again.
"So you hooked up with someone in just a few days? Wow, that's not surprising,"
"Jake,no, you know Kai is my friend. He will always be my friend," Kai flinched at my words but he was still looking at me and Jake.
"Is that so? I dont think he wants to be friends with you,"
"What is wrong with you! I told you-"
"Back off, man," I heard Kai moved behind me.
"Oh, here comes her little knight,"
"Jake, stop it,"
"Oh you think I will just let you go? So you think this is the end of both of us? Not that easy my darling, not that easy,"
"What are you talking about?" I had this weird feeling again.
"I have pictures of you, being intimate with me," He smirked.
And all the blood in my body washed out. I turned pale. I know what he is thinking. No!
In a split second I saw Kai holding up Jake's collar and banged him on the wall of the canteen.
"No! Kai, dont! Stop it," I tried pulling him away but he was too strong.
"You never deserved her in the first place at all! You cheater!" Kai swore and punch him in his face that I was terrified.
"Kai, come on, stop it!" I was tearing up. No, this is not happening.
Kai pulled up and kick him one last time and walked off. I stood there looking at Jake's swollen face and all I could think was the memories we had, was it all just fake? How could he be so mean? So devilish in his angel body?
I turned and ran after Kai.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I never once turn to look at Alex after what happen that day. He stayed over and I woke up early and went of to wear after writing a note on the bedpost, where he could see.
"You were drunk yesterday, so I picked you to my house, hope you were ok with it.
You can take a shower and drink up something from the fridge,"
The moment he entered the office, I saw him changed. He wasnt the same Alex I used to see. He was more imperfect. I saw his tie wasnt tied properly, he wore a mismatching pant and T-shirt. He rushed into this cubicle and sat.
*************
I was walking outside of my office building after work,when someone called my name,"Rose?"
"Alex?"
"It was you isn't it?"
"Uh? You who?"
"Its you, I know its you. Your handwriting its so similar!" He was frustrated I can tell that.
"What-"
"Those gifts you send me, those gift cards and so on, its you," He said it firmly.
"I-I, no, its not me. No, its not me!" I pushed him and bolted pass him without turning. What is happening? Why can't I just admit it? It was me!
Yes, it was me. I gave you all those. But I don't dare to agree? How pathetic I could be! Without knowing, I was tearing up.
I wish, he knew. I wish, I could be the someone he likes. I wished I could just bury myself and not do this anymore as what my friend said.

It Just Happened.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" All I saw was a white car straight into me and I went black.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Juliet? Ju?? Ju? Wake up! Ju!" I cant seem to open my eyes, but the voice is so so familiar. So much clearer in my ears. I can hear but I cant see? Where am I? Am I awake? Unconscious? Why is everything white?
"Ju!" Tht was the last time I heard his voice. His worried casting shrill ran through me.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How long I had been asleep after my accident I didnt know. All I know was that I woke up after my operation. My left leg is fractured and now its wrapped with white bandage. I was given a stick to walk with.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ju!!!!!" I remember him turning behind to take a look at me screaming. I saw a flash of terror in his eyes. The look where shows emotions tumbling out of his eyes.
I remember clearly now, that I was talking to him unconsciously. Asking him to stay with me, asking him not to leave me. Begging him to hold on me tight.
"Shh.." He quieted me down. I was trembling. I saw blood. My blood. I know what happened. I know its my leg that had been overrun.
"I'm scared. Jinki, I'm scared," I couldnt feel my leg. But he was holding me. I could feel that. He was holding me close. I saw him shaking. Then I heard the sirence of an Ambulance.
I looked into his eyes. And he gave me a assuring kiss on my forehead, "Everything is gonna be fine,"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It came all to me at once. It was Jinki. Jinki AKA Onew. The famous Idol I had been working with in Korea. The guy who I fell for madly but I couldnt tell him. I don't dare to tell him. He was my friend. My closest friend when I first came to Korea without my Mum's guidance.
I was appointed as a make up stylist for artist at Korea's biggest selling company, SM Entertainment. I got to know him through. A solo artist he was. A interestingly funny guy. Hot Chocolate, was what made me go out with him. He ask me out in a friendly way. As a friend.
"Juliet! Come on, let's get some Hot Choco after this. It would be heavenly to have it in this type of weather,"
"Hahaha yeah, of course!" I smiled at him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He is no longer here. I waited for him to appear into this white painted wall hospital room through that door where the nurses come and go to check on my leg.
But no. He didnt. Or he couldnt? I waited for him to text me. No text. I waited for him to call me. But no calls. Its been two days. I couldnt go to work, so I couldnt see him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Miss Juliet, the doctor has officially decided to discharge you off. You can go anytime you want," The nurse smiled at me at the happy news. But I was still waiting for someone.
I guess its no luck. I decided to stay one more day, to take a look at the hospital and to relax at the pond side I've been wanting to go. Its a beautiful view from my room. I can see the pond surrounded by the garden. Patients, old and young couples feeding the ducks.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I'll be fine, Thank you Miss," I thanked the nurse who help me out with my walking. I was nervous to be walking after three days on the wheel chair.
"Ok, dear, just take care and becareful ok?"
I nodded, agreeing to her.
It definitely was a great day today. With the windy breeze. Cool air. I took one step at a time to reach the pond side. I took a sit on the ground slowly and stretched my leg out, with my back on the tree trunk holding me.
I didnt bring any food with me but the ducks were everywhere around me walking and pecking on the grasses.
___________________________________________________________________________
"Her room is straight and turn left, room no.303," I thanked the receptionist of the hospital.
I bought Juliet's favourite hot chocolate, a bunch of her favourite carmellia flower and some home cooked food.
I dont know how am I going to face her after three days of not talking to her. I still remember her scared face when she fainted on my arms. When she cried looking at her leg. I should have been with her. But the job i'm doing is not an easy one and I couldnt just back out to see her. I've got an off day today and decided to see her.
I knocked on her door. No answer. Her room door wasnt locked. I clicked it open and went in.
"Ju?" No answer and from the silence itself I know she is not in. Her bag is packed but she hasnt taken it yet.
I saw a nurse walking in the room.
"Oh, who is this young man?"
"Ma'am may I know where did the patient in this room go?"
"You mean Juliet? She went to the garden there," The nurse pointed to the garden outside the window.
"Thank you ma'am," Putting the food box and flower down. I took the hot chocolate cup with me.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There We Are 2
"Deal?"
"Er..deal," Max nod his head in agreement. This girl is already making him crazy about her. "We will be moving out soon. I'm living away from my parents due to my work. I heard you work somewhere near the place I stay. As what? Clerk or something?"
"What?! Hello? I'm a eye specialist!" Max was taken back by her pride.
"Oh, you are? Ok,"
"You are? I heard you work in an IT company, one of the worker is it? Right?"
Max was still dazed and he nod to her, "Yeah, worker,dealing with paper stuffs." In actual he is a the Manager of the International ICT. And she didn't know that.
The deal was not to tell any of their family members that they are up to this relation. For Anna its still awkward t act as a wife towards Max. Max respects hr decision and falling for her was easy.
They came out of the room. Anna went to her mother in law to help her with the cooking. Max kept an eye on her because it hard for him to get away from her. He loves her smile. The way she thinks on what to talk next, he smiled like a retard.
"Way to go, you are staring at her too much," Max cousin sister poked her.
"What?" he gave her a poker face.
"So how was last night?"
"What? What are you talking?" He gave her a blur face.
"Like nothing happened? 'Nothing'?" She pointed out the word 'nothing'.
"Jamie, that's too much," Max pushed her away but after she was gone, he smiled at himself.
Jamie could be very childish at times even though she is 20.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ok, mum, I will," Max bid goodbye to his mum and dad while they were on the car to his own house which is a few hours ride.
The journey of their own married life starts.
Anna will be minding her own business, she usually goes to work before Max in the morning. She works in a eye specialist hospital. Max goes after that. But breakfast would be ready on his table though. Anna makes breakfast before she goes off.
"How is your wifey doing Max?" One of his Co-worker asked.
"Doing good," He quickly hide something he was writing away from the file he was holding.
"We have an invitation to New York for some International Conference on the Mobile Exporting.
"Sure put that aside, I will take a look at it later," Max's friend put the card aside and went out.
Max took the paper he was scribbling and looked at it.
See Get to know Friends Love Marry.
He called Anna.
"Hello?" She took her phone.
"Anna? Can you come over our house in 15 minutes?"
"Max, I can't I am busy right now," She said.
"Come on, I bet it will be good,"
I can't, can't you see, I'm busy,"
"Ok, maybe later dinner?"
"I will be tired Max, next time ok?"
Max tried but she pushed it.
He kept the phone.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anna was home and she was playing a piano when Max came into the house.
Its the first time Max listening to her playing piano. And she was marvelous.
"You play piano?"
"Yes," She said with a final key hitting the note.
"You?"
"Err...I- Yea, I do, I love Beethoven, Picasso's sheets,"
"Picasso is not a pianist, he is an artist," Anna told him doubtly looking at him.
"Oh.yeah yeah, a little confusion that's all," He kept his bag on the couch and move closer.
"You read novels?"
"Novels?"
"Like Dan Brown, Paulo Coelho, J.K Rowling?"
"I know J.K Bowling,"
"Its Rowling,"
"Yeah the guy who write magazines right?" Max was trying to talk out something.
That made Anna laugh.
"Haha, first J.K Rowling is a women and she wrote Harry Potter Novels,"
"Oh, really?"
"I made lunch today, since you came home early you can eat,"
Max looked at her. Usually both of them eat outside during their work time lunch break.
Now it feels weird to be sitting together and eating. Max was happy with it.
"We are going on a dinner party next week. My err..my boss invited us to his house for some opening on our IT product," Max reasoned out. Actually its a congratulatory ceremony for the idea of him that the product is launched.
"Sure, maybe I can try asking him for promotion?" Anna looked at Max. Max nearly spitted his food.
What? "Oh? Oh.." Max realized Anna doesn't know his real job description yet. How funny.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Anna you ready?" Max knocked the door to make sure she is there.
"Yes, I am," She came out with a most elegant dress. She was wearing a black knee cut dress. Max couldn't talk back and he kept quiet.
"How do I look?" Anna asked for Max's comment.
"Erm, wow! You-look, you look breath taking," Was the word he was thinking.
Anna laughed at how stunt he looked at her. She waved her hands in front of him because he keep staring at her while she was walking around the house checking before going out.
"We can go now," She told him.
He nod and walked to the car.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anna and Max separated because of the crowd in the party.
Anna was walking around when she met one of her hospital colleague and she started conversing.
Max was being congratulated, Anna saw him being hand shaken and frown. He is just a worker, why are they congratulating him?
Anna started walking around looking at him from far away. It's when she realize how he looks. All this time she was busy with her job she didnt even take a look at her own husband.
Max, he is tall, he looks gorgeous with his coat suit, broad shoulder, black eyes and slick hair. He have a smart look and cunning smile. She immediately had a weird feeling growing. Shews looking at him all this while that she didnt realise she bumped into someone. "Oh!"
"Oh, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" She was apologizing continuously.
"It's ok, you must be Max's wife?" The guy she bumped asked.
"Oh, yeah," She stood still.
"I'm James, Max's second assistant. I've seen your picture in his office," He said smiling.
"His assistant? You work under him?" She was surprised.
"Oh, yes madam, he is the manager of the International ICT Company. Everyone works under him,"
Anna just gave him a shocked face and thanked him before walking away.
She was finding for Max.
Then she heard something familiar.
Something that she played in her house. The piano verse!
Someone is playing it.
She walked towards the key and she found Max sitting in front of the piano and playing.
She went closer to him and asked, "You play?"
"I learned,"
"And you are the Manager of the company. Why would you hid it from me?"
"I don't know," Max shrugged. But Anna couldn't contain her smiled and she smiled widely.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anna has maid coming to house to clean the house every week since they are busy with their own work.
That day Anna wanted blessing from elderly because its her birthday.The maid was an elderly so she asked for blessing. "Thank you for the cleaning, and please do bless me, its y birthday, my mum is not here to bless me,"
"Oh, ma'am. Why are you asking me, but bless you child. All will be good in you life,"
Max who was passing the kitchen saw Anna being blessed and heard her saying its her birthday.
In Max's break time, Max got to a book store and got a heart shaped card and a bouquet for Anna.
He wrote in the card and was ready to give it to her at night.
At night after Anna took her shower Max was waiting at the balcony. He heard Anna inside the room removing the comforter to go to bed.
"Anna, erm.."
"Yes?" She stood waiting for him to ask.
"Err..err..here," He gave her the bouquet he was hiding behind his hand first.
"Oh?"
"Happy Birthday," He wished her.
"How did you know?"
"I overheard you talking to the cleaner,"
Anna smelled the roses in her hand. It was so pretty and she was happy.
"What's that on the other hand?"
"Uh?" Max was wavering on whether to give it to her now or not.
"Behind, what are you hiding,"
"What? Nothing!" He showed his empty hand and at that time there was a phone call for him and he answered it turning his back to him.
Anna just ignored and looked at the flowers. She put it in an empty vase and went back to sleep.
After answering the call, Max return into the room and saw her already sleeping peacefully figure.
He thought maybe next time. So he hid the card in between his books in the rack.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One month has passed and Anna and Max has to the friends level.
Anna makes coffee in the morning for Max before he goes to work nowadays. There's been an improvement in their relationship.
One day when Anna was cleaning the house with the cleaner, she caught the card in between the books in the rack when she took out to clean it.
It was the heart shaped card that Max bought for her Birthday. She opened it and it was return.
"Would you be my other half?"
Happy Birthday.
Max.
Anna couldn't contain her smiled and she smiled at it.
She took the card to her room and she wrote on it.
"I am"
She kept inside her file.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inside Anna's office cubicle, she was staring at the card.
She was looking at Max handwriting.
She wanted so badly to give him but she decided to give this on his birthday.
She know that she already had fallen for Max now.
"Er..deal," Max nod his head in agreement. This girl is already making him crazy about her. "We will be moving out soon. I'm living away from my parents due to my work. I heard you work somewhere near the place I stay. As what? Clerk or something?"

Inside Anna's office cubicle, she was staring at the card.
She was looking at Max handwriting.
She wanted so badly to give him but she decided to give this on his birthday.
She know that she already had fallen for Max now.

There We Are
"Mum! Mum!!" She was running after her mother who was busy getting ready for the function.
"Anna get ready! You have to be presentable when they are here. What are you still doing?! Go!" Her mum was getting plates on the table now.
"What is this?! You never ask me for my permission. You decide everything by your own self and you go on deciding who I got tied to?" She crossed her arms and stood still waiting for her answer.
"What is this?! You never ask me for my permission. You decide everything by your own self and you go on deciding who I got tied to?" She crossed her arms and stood still waiting for her answer.
"Your dad and I were into this, not only me,"
"But you never asked me! Me! I'm the one going to live here. Hello," She put her hand up asking.
"Everything is decided when you were busy with your degree. We thought you would be okay with it. Now its too late to cancel this," Her mother carried the rice bowl outside to the dining table.
"But you never asked me! Me! I'm the one going to live here. Hello," She put her hand up asking.
"Everything is decided when you were busy with your degree. We thought you would be okay with it. Now its too late to cancel this," Her mother carried the rice bowl outside to the dining table.
That got Anna speechless. It is no use. What's the point when the groom's side is on their way already. And everything is already prepared. Her dad's on the phone with the groom giving direction. Anna's brother's helping with the decoration.
Its the first wedding engagement in Anna's family and its an arranged engagement. Its their only daughter's wedding and they want it to go on perfectly well.
Anna stumble up the stairs and got ready. She wore the dress her mum bought for her when she wasn't around. She was on her best make-up so this wouldn't upset her parents. She sat on the chair inside her room thinking.
All Anna wanted was to get married to someone she loved. Someone she thought she will meet after her graduation and start working. To get to know this person and become friends, then fall in love and then to get married. But Boom, out of nowhere Anna's parents called her when she was on holiday with her friends, saying they got her a groom.
"Anna!" She heard her mum calling her name.
"Coming!" She stood up and took a deep breathe. All she is hoping is for the groom to be as her expectation.

"Dad! I'm stopping this engagement!" Max was on the car with his whole family. He was forced to go with no choice in his hands.
"You shut up and listen to your elderly. Can you?!" His dad was driving and scolding him at the same time.
"Since when did I told you guys I wanted to get married now! I'm not ready yet and this is not what or how I wanted my marriage life to be, to get tied to an unknown girl!" Max was so frustrated.
"Since when did I told you guys I wanted to get married now! I'm not ready yet and this is not what or how I wanted my marriage life to be, to get tied to an unknown girl!" Max was so frustrated.
"Darling, I promise you won't regret. She is my friend's daughter and I know they would have brought her up well. So behave son," His mother tried calming him down.
"I will stop this. This is so unfair. I will have my own way, you will see,"
"That' it! You stop this engagement, you are out of this house!!" Max father put a stop to the driving and turn behind to face Max full face. That intimidated Max and he kept quiet.
"You are 28 Max! You are our only son! We want to see you get married before anything happens to us, me and your mum. We are no more youngsters. We are getting old, we want to see you have a life,to hug our little grand kids. Can't you do this small thing at least? One more word there. You are out,"
Max shut up and sighed. This better be good was all he can say.

"Come on, come on in," Anna's dad was welcoming the groom's family inside the house with wide smile.
The other side of the family shook hands and came in.
"Anna," Her dad called her and the mother.
"Have a seat. Let's talk after we have something to eat ok?"
"Sure, sure!" Max father agreed.
"Anna. I want you to behave. Don't give that frog face of yours to our groom's side. Understand? Here. bring this in front to the table," Her mother warned her and passed her glasses of drinks where she have to bring it to the visitor. She just nod and walked of quietly.
On the other side, Max was wavering between telling the bride's parents about him not interested in the engagement or should he just get married to her. He really wasn't ready to this because its not easy for him to get into a relationship that fast and he had his own ideal girl.
"Oh dear, look at her," He heard his mum awe-ing and looked up. He saw a pretty girl with blue dress walking towards them with a long plate balanced with glasses of drinks and mumbling something. And he heard, "Please don't fall, please don't fall," She was concentrating on the glasses not to fall. That made Max smiled. Cute he thought.
"Hello," Anna put down the glasses on the living room's table and gave a hearty smiled to the groom's side.
"Hello there Anna," Max's mum was so happy to see her.
"Anna, this is Mrs Kimberly, Mr. Bennet and their son Max,"
"Hi, I'm Anna,"
"Come on, sit down darling," Max's mum held her hand and ask her to sit next to Max where there was an empty seating.
"Don't they make a perfect couple?" Anna's mum joined in after a while.

"Oh yes they do," Max's mum agreed.
All the both of them did was laugh at it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is their wedding day. Its gonna be the second time Anna and Max meeting up after their first meeting at Anna's house. None of them wanted to see each other after the engagement.
Anna's friends were all teasing her when they got to know she is being arranged married.
Max's friends were the same too but Max was supporting Anna ever since he first eyed Anna. He knew he wouldn't fight back to stop this marriage. During his working hours, he sometimes starts thinking about Anna. The way she fiddled with her hands when they sat together. The way she responded kindly to his parents, the way she looked at him when they introduced them selves. The way she smile. He agreed to himself that she is pretty.
"Anna, you ready?" Anna's bridesmaid was her bestie and she was hyperventilating with happiness.
"Kiara, Kiara, calm down. I am the one supposed to be hyperventilating not you," That made both of them laughed.
"Isn't is so strange getting married to a stranger! Oh my god, if I were in your position I would definitely done something weird," She shrugged her shoulder in bewilderment.
"Ok, ok, you should get up and go now. Oh and I love you Anna finally you are going to have a life of your own. All the best!" She hugged Anna before letting her go.
"Thank you Kiara," Anna smiled.
"Maxey~" Max's friends were all surrounded him in the waiting room.
"Jake, stop it!" The guys were in the teasing mood while Max was actually nervous.
"You must be lucky you wife is so pretty, smart, and an awesome girl man,"
"Thanks there guys,"
"I think its time for you to be there," He his dad's voice.
"I think its time for you to be there," He his dad's voice.
Max took a deep breath.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Both of them were in the groom's house and in Max's newly decorated room.
Anna was sitting on the end of the bed post fiddling with her fingers.
Max came out of the bathroom wiping his hair with the towel.
Its gonna be their first time being together after the wedding.
"I have something to say," Anna and Max voiced up together.
Both of them looked at each other.
"You go first then," Max said.
Anna wanted this straight up and not bring up any confusion.
"Look, this was not what I was expecting. I always wanted a guy who can take my breathe away. So first get to know, then become friends, then go out together, then fall in love and the get married. But the problem is we are already married, so we leave that aside and take in the get to know each other first?"
Max was amazed by her. Max wanted to smile at her but he kept to him self and nod in agreement. He thought this girl is definitely gonna make me love her. Anna divided the bed by putting the bolster in the middle and went to sleep.
