Arrange Marriage

Ch 30 /Moments/

After arriving home, Pooh reflected on how wonderful his day had been with Pavel, the love of his life.

Ms. Anong: It looks like someone had a great day today.

Pooh chuckled, approached his mother, and gave her a hug.

Pooh: It was even better than I expected.

Ms. Anong: See? You should thank me. I found you the perfect partner.

Pooh planted a kiss on his mother's cheek.

Pooh: Thank you. I wouldn't have met Pavel without you.

Ms. Anong: Are you that happy?

Pooh: Too much.

With that, Pooh headed toward his room.

Ms. Anong: What about dinner?

Pooh: I'll shower first.

He called out from the staircase.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, Pooh had wrapped up his dinner and settled into bed. With his pillow held close, he began to write in his journal, detailing his thoughts and observations about Pavel.

"I never imagined life would take this turn. As a lifelong single, I never thought I'd find someone to truly call my own-until I met Pavel.

Pavel is unlike anyone I've ever seen. His eyes, framed by long lashes, his high bridge nose, his irresistibly kissable lips, and his slender waist make him seem almost like a dream. Today, I had an unexpected date with him, and it turned out to be one of the best moments of my life.

When he hugged me and kissed my cheek, I was overwhelmed with joy. It was one of the happiest moments I've ever experienced. Every second with him feels like a beautiful dream, and I am so grateful to have him in my life. I can hardly wait for the day when he is completely mine-my Pavel, my love."

After finishing his journal, Pooh placed it carefully in the drawer. He then picked up his phone and cranked up the volume, playing "Every Man Gets His Wish" by Lana Del Rey on the speaker, filling the room with music.

[Note: Pooh's room was soundproofed as he didn't liked any sound, ensuring that no sounds could enter or escape.]

Before heading to bed, Pooh decided to send a message to Pavel. As he opened Pavel's chat, he saw that Pavel was already typing.

Pavel: Goodnight. Sweet dreams.

Pooh: Are you already asleep?

Pavel: Yes, I need to get up early tomorrow. You should get some rest too; you have an early start as well.

Pooh: But I want to talk to you a little longer.

Pavel, who was curled up in his bed held his bedsheets tightly at Pooh request.

Pooh: Do you remember what you said to me while you were running home?

Pavel recalled the words vividly but, feeling a bit embarrassed, pretended not to remember.

Pavel: Why? Is there something I should remember?

Pooh: Yes, and it's important.

Enough of the message already. Pooh then lowered the volume of his speaker and called Pavel.

**Video Call from Pooh**

Pavel, lying on his bed, straightened up and answered the call. As soon as he saw Pooh's smiling face, he couldn't help but smile back.

Pavel (thinking): I can't even keep a straight face around him. What do I do? My husband is just too adorable.

Pooh: Well, you said...

Pavel: Stop, please. Can we talk about this later?

[[[Just to recall, Pavel had promised he would kiss Pooh on the lips after their marriage.]]]

Pooh: You're blushing, aren't you, bae?

He teased Pavel, drawing out the last part of his message.

Pavel: You always tease me.

Pooh: Then you'll just have to get used to it, bae.

Pavel: Aren't you going to sleep?

Pooh: I will, but with you.

Pavel: Huh?

Pooh: Could you put your phone somewhere so I can see your face while I fall asleep?

Pavel quickly moved his face away from the phone, his heart racing.

Pavel (thinking): So this is what it's like to be married to a romance writer?

After composing himself, he adjusted the phone so his face was visible again.

Pooh: Are you shy, wifey?

Pavel: No, I was just finding a spot for my phone.

Pavel placed his phone on a drawer next to him, showing his upper body, while Pooh propped his phone up with a pillow to show his face.

Pooh: Goodnight, wifey. Sweet dreams.

Pavel: Goodnight. Sweet dreams.

As Pavel closed his eyes, Pooh whispered softly, hoping Pavel could hear.

Pooh: I wish you were here with me right now.

Pavel didn't reply but heard him making him smile slightly, falling asleep as Pooh continued to watch him on the screen until he too drifted off to sleep.
