Continuous questions my Mom asked. I didn't answer any of her questions and I'm just staring in the mirror while Alice is fixing me, my best friend who's a make-up artist.

"I knew that this is just an arranged marriage and... I also knew that you're still into him! But... it's been 8 months since you two broke up and in that 8 months Tay is doing everything just to make you happy." Alice said. After hearing that, I took a deep breath and smiled.

"But I have to... cause it's the right thing to do?!"
She nodded and smile. So right at that moment, I knew already that I have no choice but to accept the fact that I am already getting married. Getting married to the man whom I don't even love.
