The next morning, Selena is awakened by the sound of what seems to be someone wandering around. Selena slowly opens her eyes and sees her mother moving around - busy packing her things.
"Mom? What are you doing?" Selena asked with confusion in her voice.
Her mother stops and looks at her with confusion as well. "What do you mean?""Why are you packing all of my stuff?
Ria just looks at her daughter with a serious face. "Do not play games with me. Get up there and help me pack. Your husband is going to pick you up."
Selena falls silent and remembers everything. She got married yesterday to a stranger. She could only respond, "Oh." She gets up and packs her things, then she prepares herself. Selena wears a long white dress with a floral design and matches it with a pair of flat sandals. She looks at herself in the mirror and sighs.
When she goes out of her bedroom, Magnus is in the living room talking with her parents. Her father stands up, "Looks like you are ready." Selena nods.
Selena drags her suitcase but is stopped by Magnus. "You do not have to bring your things. I will buy you everything you need in States?"
Selena's eyebrows meet as she looks at him. "States? What do you mean?" Her mother comes close to her and explains. "You are going to the States. It is where your husband resides and your flight is today."
Selena could not believe it. She got married fast and just yesterday, and now she will be living in the States? She could only follow Magnus outside.
Two cars are parked outside. In a car, a man in a black suit is waiting outside an opened car door. She goes to that car but before she enters, she took one last glance at her house. Her parents are by the door, waving at her goodbye. Selena did not wave back and just enters the car without saying goodbye.
Selena is just looking outside the window the whole trip to the airport. Upon arriving, the car door is opened for her. She gets out of the car and so does Magnus.
"Come, Selena, we are behind schedule. I have a meeting in an hour." Selena follows her husband with speed.
What confuses Selena is that the security did not check them. Although they did not bring any suitcases, Magnus only brings a briefcase, they should be lining up for passport or inspection.
"Umm.. excuse me? Where are we going? We do not have a passport yet."
Magnus did not look at her but he still responds. "We will be using my private plane."
"Your private plane? But.." Selena could no longer say anything. Magnus receives a phone call and takes it immediately.
Selena is the first to enter the plane and is amazed by the insides. She hides her amazement when Magnus enters.
"You can sit anywhere you like. If you want to sleep, there is also a single bed."
Selena chooses to lay in the bed than sit with strangers. There are 6 people in total on the plane and they are all intimidating to Selena. She closes the curtain and then lays the bed sideways.Selena could only recall her life in the village and her experience in a forbidden forest. Memories keep flooding her mind and she does not want those memories haunting her anymore. It would only make her suffer. Selena let herself fall asleep throughout the whole trip.
Hours later, Selena slowly wakes because of the constant tapping in her shoulder. "Selena. It is time to wake up."
The voice is familiar so she opens her eyes and sees that Magnus is the one waking her up. Selena's eyes widen with surprise and immediately sits up.
