His Epitome Of Beauty [COMPLETED✔]

CHAPTER 04: The Plan [✔]

DARREN’s P.O.V.

“Are you sure about that, Darren? I mean, no offense but... Finding a woman that will act as your wife? Seriously?”

“Well, how bad could it be? Any woman would love to play along as my wife. And in fact, I will be paying whoever it is.”

“Don’t be so full of yourself, bro. I have read tons of stories about this kind of situation and stuff and guess what?”

“What happened?”

“The protagonists fall for each other in the end.”

        I chuckled before answering him.

“That’s hilarious. I will never fall for anyone below my level. That kind of story will never happen to me, Elij.”

“Yeah. Whatever you say, bro. But just so you know, I’m not sure if I can find that someone you are looking for in just a short span of time.”

“Yes, you can. Just show them the money and I’m pretty sure that they will accept it.”

“But what if they slapped me?”

“You’re so funny, Elijah. I promised they won’t be mad at you. Just ask them nicely.”

“Good idea, bro. What if I say, ‘Hey, you want to be my bestfriend’s wife? Here’s the money, take it.’ Like that?” He chuckled.

“You’re a lunatic. Of course not. If you put it that way, there’s a higher chance that you will get slapped or something.”

        We both laughed at our own jokes. One thing that I liked about Elijah, he is a good friend, indeed. He never judge my bad decisions in life like what my Dad always did.

        After planning out about everything, we decided to head home. And because I don’t have a car with me, Elijah offers me a ride. Good thing that he invited me into his car, because right after we got inside, rain started to fall heavily.

“Damn this weather.”

“Stop picking on everything, Darren. Are you mad about the rain or because of your father?”

“Shut up, bro.”

“Okay, okay.”

        Along the highway, we can see the view of the wide rice field and a few buildings around the area. There are even schools and hospital buildings nearby.

“Is that... Claire?” Elijah asked.

       And since I don’t know who is he talking about, I looked out of the tinted window and saw a lady standing under the shade, half wet while wearing a teacher’s uniform. Same as what Elijah’s wearing right now.

“Bro, I think she’s wet,” I declared, out of the blue.

“Yeah. Do you mind if we give her a ride? Their house was only a few meters away from here. We will passed it by. I could drop her off.”

“Sure. It’s your car, anyway.”

         Elijah stopped the car to the nearest spot that he can from that woman. And since the shade was on the right side of the road, I was able to see her face clearly as the window of the car went down.

“Hey!” called Elijah. She didn’t look up.

        Maybe Elijah’s voice wasn’t loud enough for her to hear. Not to mention the rain that was pouring heavily since we got in the car.

“Teacher Claire! Can you hear me?!” Right now Elijah was starting to wave at her like a crazy person just to get her attention.

“Is she deaf?” I curiously asked.
