SUMMER LOVE | CHAENNIE VERSION

CHAPTER 35

"You look handsome, my son," Roseanno patted Cooper's shoulder.

"Just like me, pals," Lim cut him.

"Yes, you look good. Did you prepare your speech already?"

"Yes, I did, pa. I'm so nervous."

"It's not a married yet, it's just your engagement party, kid," Lim said.

"I'm not a kid anymore, please!" Cooper rolled his eyes.

Roseanno laughed, "he is a man, now, Lim. Stop teasing him!"

"Well, I still remember his crying face when I toted him, now he is going to marry."

"Stop teasing him! Now, you should get out of this room, the guests already come," Somi came and interrupted them.

Lim laughed, he wraps his arm on Roseanno's shoulder as they walked outside the room.

"He is really a man, now, Roje," Lim said.

Roseanno walked in the garden, they already set up the garden, turned it to a beautiful garden. It's summer in LA, a beautiful time to have a party in your garden. There is a lot of guests. He don't really knows who they are. His eyes caught a figure that he knew so well. That must be her.

He saw her, he walked towards her with his weak feet. Trying to walk faster, but he couldn't. Ages kill his agility.

"Jennie, is that you?" he touched her shoulder, asking a petite woman in front of him.

She turned her face, squinted to see the man who called her clearly.

"Who are you?" she asked.

"I'm Rosie. Do you remember me?" he took off his hat, his hair is grey, so do Jennie's.

"Who is he, mom?" a young woman appears beside her, she is beautiful, taller than her mother.

"My old friend, Roseanno," Jennie smiled.

"The love of my life, Jennie," Roseanno thought.

"Pa, you are here!" Cooper called Roseanno and stands beside him.

"Hmm, you already met them. She is Mrs. Kim, Ella's mother," Cooper introduced Jennie to Roseanno, "and she is Ella, my fiancée," he smiled shyly.

"Kim?" Roseanno asked himself.

Roseanno shook Ella's hand, "you are so beautiful, just like your mom. Cooper is lucky to have you."

"No, Pa, she is lucky to have me," Cooper teased Ella, she pinched his cheek.

"I think I am wrong to accept your proposal," Ella rolled her eyes.

"Stop it, kiddos! I think you are not ready for a marriage," Jennie cut them.

Roseanno can't stop staring on her. She is still beautiful, even in her old ages, there is some wrinkles on her face, but she is still the same Jennie.

"We have to see our friends, mom. Can I borrow your daughter?" Cooper asked Jennie.

She just nodded and smiles. Cooper hold Ella's hand, they walked away.

Jennie and Roseanno remain silent, looking at Cooper and Ella.

"So, now, our children are getting married," Jennie said.

Roseanno smiled, "I never think we will meet again."

"In this awkward moment, when our children getting married?"
