Mikha pushed the glass door open, searching for the certain tall woman. She spotted her on one of the tables with papers scattered everywhere. Mikha ordered a tall cup of latte and a croissant to fill her empty stomach. The sky was almost twilight but she hadn't had a meal since this morning.

"Hey," she greeted Maloi.

"Finally! What took you so long?"

"Patients." Mikha answered shortly then sat.

"Any progress with ate Aiah? It's troublesome to meet you guys at separate times," she pouted. "Just give up, Mikhs. Allow whatever she desires."

"I am doing that. That is exactly what I'm doing! It feels like I don't even know her anymore." she sighed wearily.

"Don't you dare say 'I'm not sure about this anymore'. I'll throw you out of this window myself." Maloi threatened her scarily.

Her food came and she thanked the waitress. She smeared some jam on her croissant and ate it.

"Mikha."

"There's no way I will cancel the wedding." she spoke while chewing.

"Because?"

"Because I love her, Maloi. Things are kind of... I don't know, we oppose each other too often recently. It doesn't mean I'll leave her, we'll work it out somehow."

"Good." Maloi nodded, satisfied.

"So what are we doing today?"

"Venue," the girl handed her some printed papers. "Choose, which one?"

"She wants a garden, better with a lake and swans. If you can make it, put a flower garden somewhere. I'm fine wherever it is."

"This is why you get her tantrum. You don't give a damn." Maloi heaved a breath and wrapped the papers up.

"I give a damn! Damn it, Maloi! God! Why is everyone on my case?!" Mikha finally lost it. "All I want is to make her mine, have children with her, build a family and grow old together. Sure, an awesome wedding ceremony is nice but what is the point if there's no devotion in it? I'm not good at this, Maloi, not because I don't care but I'm not good with details, arrangements or whatever. I don't mind how much money we're going to use for this as long as she's happy. I pour a lot of damn for it, Maloi. A lot."

"I know." Maloi's eyes directed above Mikha's head.

"I will never take her for granted. I cherish her, there is no day that I don't thank whoever bestowed her for me. I realized I'm being a jerk again recently," she massaged the back of her neck. "Are we done? I'll see you again tomorrow or whenever you have time to settle this, okay?"

Mikha took out her phone and checked the time, it wasn't that late to get some meal. She could have a proper dinner with Aiah, take her to a nice restaurant or something. "I really need to make it up for her, Maloi. Is she still at work?" she pressed the call button when she heard the familiar ringtone behind her.

"She's here," Maloi pointed behind her. "Hey, ate Aiah," Maloi waved and grinned. "I'll see you two love birds tomorrow for lunch." She cleaned her goods and stood up.

Mikha was still dumbfounded in her chair. She was supposed to meet Maloi alone here, then why was Aiah here too, at this very place?

"Have some sex or something. Just make peace with her." Maloi whispered in Aiah's ear when she walked past her.
