The O.C crews are here. They are back for her wedding. Her father looks happy. Accepting continuous congratulations from his colleagues and friends.

Greg looks a bit grim. He isn't too happy to know she isn't a virgin anymore. But he doesn't want to cancel their engagement.

Waiting in front of the altar, waiting for his bride to come. His mind went back to few days earlier. In a cargo ship from India. With another lady.

(I love you, Greg. I never love anyone like this. I would never forget you. And please remember me too. In our next life, please marry me. And make me the happiest woman).

Greg sighs.

Maybe he made a mistake. Maybe he should have cancelled this wedding.

He sighs again.

A bit too late for it. The wedding ceremony would start soon. He must forget Lady Jasmine Jelena. For now.

Marrying Vanessa Hoyt would boost his military career. His father in law would support him to highest rank. The youngest general in history of England. It has been his childhood dream.

(I love you too, Jasmine. I would never forget you. My body might belong to another woman. But my heart would always go with you.

That was his reply before they shared a kiss. Their first and last kiss).

Engaged to Vanessa for ten years. His heart never love her. Only knew Jasmine for few months. And he couldn't forget her. Lady Jasmine Jelena, the woman who stole his heart.

The wedding march has started.

The bride is walking in. Alone. Whispers spread in the church. But the priest clears his throat and the audience got silenced immediately.

The bride maid's eyes are widened. Sarah couldn't believe her eyes.

The groom is still facing the altar. Face so gloomy, people would think it's his time to die, not his wedding day.

"Hello..." greets the bride to the groom.

Finally he turns around. And his face lightens up so brightly.

"Hello," greets him.

He holds her hand and they smile happily to each others.

And the priest begin the ceremony...

Outcast Crews secretly leaves the church. They have been sitting at the last pews in the church. Easy to sneak out.

Half an hour ago...
Her maid just left to fetch her some water. She is alone in the dressing room.

Fixing her veil one last time. Vanessa Hoyt looks  lovely in her wedding dress. Diamond earrings. Silver tiara. Yet, no smile on her face.

(Am I really doing this? Marrying Greg? He is a good man. I know. He accepted me after knowing I slept with another man. No results from Val. It has been four months. I'm not pregnant).

Forcing herself to smile.

She looks so miserable like she's going to cry any minute now.

(I can't! I can't marry him! I hate Val! Why I must meet him? Now I can't marry Greg! Knowing I couldn't love him. Not the way I love Val. That jerk!)

A knock at the door.

"Just a minute," says her.

(What should I do? The ceremony would start any minute now. I can't leave Greg standing in front of the Altar. He has been very kind to me. It would be too cruel...)
