Never let your failures get to your heart and never let your success get to your head.

REVISED

***Abby's point of view***

"How's it going with the job hunting, Bee? Is there any good result?" Asked May when we arrived at a restaurant together with our friends to celebrate my birthday. It was the eve of my birthday. They have tons of work tomorrow that's why we decided this evening.

"They said, they will call me," I said annoyed. "In the online translation company, they didn't call me for the final interview."

Cathy smiled at me. "It's okay, sis. Everything will turn out good. Just wait for a little while. It's hard to look for a job right now. You don't want to go overseas."

"I'm thinking of that too," I said as I take a deep breath.

"Allow Simon to apply in my company. For him to gain some experience and to lessen your expenses," May suggested. "He's smart I can assist him."

"No! I don't want him to lose his focus in studying," I said angrily. "That's why I'm trying my best to look for a job, right?"

Finally Jaimee arrived at the restaurant. "I'am sorry, girls. Justin and I met before I arrived here."

"You can't move without your boyfriend, huh?" Said Cathy. "Does he need to know your every move? He's not your husband yet. He's just your boyfriend."

"Yeah, that's true, May said. "Ethan and I were not like that."

Jaimee raise the menu to cover her face except for her eyes, then she looked at us and rolled her eyes. "What?" she asked.

She put down the menu on top of the table. "I have something to tell you, girls. It's good news and bad news. And that's the reason why Justin and I met."

"Let me guess," said Cathy. "Justin and you broke up a couple of days ago. That's the bad news. And the good news is, you were together again. Nothing's change, right?"

"Actually, it's something new," Jaimee said.

"State first the bad news," I said bitterly.

"I'am afraid I can't go anymore to our gimmicks girls," Jaimee said. "Justin only allowed me to meet you guys because it's Abby's birthday."

"Hey, he has no right to do that. You're not even married_____"

Jaimee cut Cathy. "We're getting married. I'am a couple of months pregnant. That's the reason why I can't go with you anymore having party. My pregnancy is quite dangerous."

I bit my bottom lip. "Oh, God! How the hell did that happen?"

Cathy laughed out loud. "You don't know how did that happen? Bee, your nineteen years old tomorrow, you don't know?" She said maliciously.

Jaimee also laugh. "John and I were a couple for almost two years. It's impossible for us just to look at each other. And besides, it is an expression of love. Matured couples do that."

I put my hands in my face. "I really can't imagine it."

We've been friends for a very long time and our dream was to become virgin brides. That we will only have sex after our wedding with our future husband.

"Oh my fucking gosh! To what planet did you came from?" asked Cathy in between laughs. "Between us four of your friends you are the first one to have a boyfriend. Then you don't know?"

I can feel my face turning bright red. "Harry was a gentleman."

"Gentleman?" May narrowed her eyes. "Girl, we are grown and sophisticated woman. And men won't be satisfied with a relationship without 'sex'. It's not all about emotional compatibility. Also, we need to consider having a physical aspect in a relationship."

I look at Cathy and May. "You mean, you also..."

"Yes, we do it with our boyfriends," Cathy said shamelessly. "Everything will go there. We might as well enjoy it."

"In short, you are the only virgin left," May said carelessly. "You don't even have a first kiss."

I sticked my tongue out to her. "Hey! I have my first kiss. Harry loved to kiss my hair."

They even laugh harder this time. "That doesn't count dear!" Jaimee said.

"He used to kiss me on the cheeks, and Pecked me on my lips. Sometimes."

"Oh, Bee! You are pathetic! Only French kiss is counted." May said. "If you marry Harry before, you won't be pathetic."

I rolled my eyes then sip some iced tea. "Shut up, May! You are starting to sound like my Aunt."

"Why? Because you are still a virgin?" Asked Cathy.

"Fuck! If I marry Harry, I won't be poor. And also I don't need to work anymore. That now my life won't be miserable," I stated the whole story.

"I think you missed a lot of stuff when you refused to marry Harry," Jaimee said while eating spicy grilled squid. "Or I must say you missed the only guy in your life who could make you happy. You can't find anyone like Harry, Bee."

"Does that mean that I need to get back to Harry for me to be happy?"

"Of course," said Cathy. "That's happiness. If you let it go, you need to find a way to get it back. So when I found out that Russel is my happiness, I did everything to get his attention. Look at me now, I'am happy. I also feel that, I'm gonna be the one to get married next."

"Maybe before, Harry loved me. But not anymore." If there's something special between Harry and I, That's only my illusion. "I've finally met his girlfriend."
