"Hey, it's not that bad. You'll just stand as a couple, who love each other and make Anna inspired and realize she's with a wrong guy" She elaborated.

"I can't do that, I don't even know him. Just his name. And the injury I gave him" I muttered.

"Well, you have to do good. And you Terrence you should do well too. Act like a pure gentleman and show Anna that her man is a junk."

"This is impossible!" I shouted.

"Well, I did made you favors. So this time, it'll be mine" She said with a calm tone.

"Oh wait, Cecile go sit beside Terrence. Practice.Chop! Chop!" She forced me to open  the door and transfer.  I have no choice. I should just be good in acting.

"Here, let me help you." Terrence lend his hand. And I admit I'm feeling the awkwardness all through out.

"I'm fine." I climbed up and sat far from him.

"We'll be having an hour trip, so do your thing there." She said then the car started moving.

Everybody is very silent and I can feel that this guy next to me feels the same thing. I mean, it's very awkward. How many times did I actually said the word awkward? I decided to lean on the car window and watch the city lights giving beauty in the night as we leave our village.

"Hey. Uhm, I mean, Hi" Is he trembling?

"Hello" I replied dryly without looking at him.

"Are you feeling good?" He asked.

"Yes, I think" I can't believe this! Tonight my life will be filled with lies. I should make tons and tons of prayer after this.

"About the fake -- fake rela-"

"Relationship? Well it's just tonight around 4-5 hours maybe. Let's just do good." I cut his verse.

"Okay" Then he looked down. Well, that'll end our true conversation. Get ready to fake it Cecile!

"We're here!" Corina shouted and left us inside the car without helping us out. I tried to open the door but, I'm having a hard time.

"Let me." He went near me and I tried not to be extremely close to him. And there it opened.

"Thanks. Well appreciated." I said as soon as we got out of the car.

"Okay now. Terrence, hold her hands and when you see Anna near, just stare at Cecile and do something sweet. Show some affection.

"This is crazy Corina!"  I muttered again.

"I thought you love me cousin?" Look at her, she's playing unfair again.
"Yes. But ---"

"Okay, let's go! Hold her hands now" She ordered and went inside.

"Is this okay with you, because if not --"

"Let's go?" I cut his verse again. I should get used to it. Yeah, cutting someone's p.o.v.

I grabbed his hand confidently and I know he's shocked but we should start pretending well now.

When we reached the event's main assembly. Corina is on the podium doing some lenghthy speech. I'm looking around the premises. It's well decorated and it makes every invitee feel so overwhelmed with the ambiance.

"And now please welcome, The 18 year old stunner, Diana Lemuel. Everybody clapped and why wouldn't I join them? She slowly went downstairs and she's wearing a stunning ball gown. Cream in color very simple on the top and the bottom is so ornate. She's very lovely, every human being who sees her tonight will just be amazed.
