Lisa's POV

Today is the day. I'm getting married. Standing here at the altar with our family and friends as guests, I am very nervous and excited at the same time. My brother Bambam came yesterday and told my dad 'You could have ask me to marry Jennie dad. You know I wouldn't say no. Lisa doesn't even like her.' But I told him that it was long ago and that my feelings changed. That I am inlove with Jennie now. With him standing here today, I have to look the happiest man inside.

Soon, door opens and two little kids, which I think Jennie's niece and nephew, entered making a flowery path for the bride. When the kids were almost at the altar, Jennie comes in. Wearing the beautiful white gown and a veil, I feel my heartbeat quickened. Though I can't see her face, in my mind, it's so clear that she is the most beautiful person today. Walking towards me with her dad, I suddenly wanted to run to her and make it faster. I am that excited, but I waited.

The ceremony started and we have chosen to go with the church provided vows and their flow. As we heard the priest said, "You may now kiss the bride." I carefully uncover the veil and proud to see Jennie had a light make-up on. She looks the most beautiful without make-up you know. "I'll kiss you now, wife." She smiled shyly before I leaned and kissed her. Then everyone clapped and cheered. When I looked around the guests, there was one person who wore a cap and a mask beside the door. I don't have to go near to know who it was. I suddenly felt guilty for her. This was her dream – our dream. I wanted to go and say sorry but I can't. Everyone was watching. I just watch her leave sadly. My heart ached for you, Somi.

Jennie's POV

After the ceremony, Lisa looked like faking her smile. She may have told me how happy she is but I can feel it's not. During the reception, her father had gifted us a house where we can go tonight. So here we are, on our way to our new house.

Upon arriving, Lisa opened the car door for me and then suddenly lifted me. "What are you doing?" She smiled and said "They said, you have to enter your first house lifting your wife. And I am so doing that." We laughed until we reached inside. The house is very beautiful and elegant. Painted with black and white, furniture of black, white, gray and gold. Everything in that 4 colors. We have 3 rooms, one master's and 2 guest rooms. There's also library with a door connected to an office.

We entered the master's bedroom and I saw the most elegant walk-in closet full of new clothes. I waited for Lisa to come up but I think she wasn't excited. I walk down to the kitchen to see her drinking a scotch. I didn't know there was a stock. I was about to hug her from the back when her phone rang. She stared for seconds before answering. "Hello?.. yes.. what. Where is it?.. I'll be there immediately. Thank you." She sounded so worried and I am so curious. She turned around and saw me. "Babe, I'm so sorry. My brother is drunk and doesn't want to listen to anyone and he got on a fight. I'll just go take him home and then comeback immediately. I am so sorry. I'll make it up later, I promises." She said without a pause. "What? Let's go get him." "No, it's okay baby. Go get some rest first. I will be back in no time." She said while grabbing her keys then kissed me. "Be safe, Lisa." "I will. I love you" then she left.

Its been 3 hours but she hasn't came back. I tried to call her but I can't reach her. I fell asleep but woke up to the sound of shower running. Checking the time, it's already 2am. It has been 6 hours. I wanted to wait for her to check on what happened but then her iphone made a 'ding' sound notifying a message. Curious who texted, I took a peek only to see a message from Somi.

Thank you for tonight Lisa. ❤
