Chapter 6

"Good Morning costumers, let us guide you to your area." sabi ng babaeng nag welcome sa amin sa store, she lead us to an area where our parents are located, they are sitting in a long couch, and I can see my parents smiling at us with Lucas' mom only? I forgot to mention that Lucas' father is in China with his mistress, Lucas' explained to me everything about their family's issues and his father's scandal. His father is with an affair with someone half his age. Can he have any consideration for his son? I thought.... Lucas even thought that his father would be here...

"I miss you mom" I said while approaching my mom and kissing her cheek and also with my dad, in a fake manner. Then suddenly, Lucas introduced me nicely to his mom. I greeted her in Chinese and she nodded with a wide smile, I hugged her suddenly that caused everyone to laugh including the staffs of the store. faking is my special skill

"I like her" sabi ng mother ni Lucas who is laughing, we talked for a while together with my parents about the wedding, they want my dress to be a combination of a modern Chinese traditional dress which is color red.. It was very beautiful

"She must be the prettiest in their wedding, the color will really enhance her smooth skin" ~my mom showed her interest about the color and dad was there all serious...

"Yes I agree, wearing this dress would respect our culture, there wouldn't be any rituals and such, this dress just need to show that she will be a part of our Chinese family, the priest will be Chinese too. If your wondering, we are Christians." Lucas' mom finished with a laugh, she's very kind and gentle, she really considered my parents' suggestions and opinions regarding the dress...

"Ok, shall we start the fitting." my mom said charmingly, and the staff took me to the dressing room. There are Chinese modern dresses that are hanged...

I tried 2 dresses already but none of them suited Lucas' mom's taste, she said it was revealing my skin and neck too much that's why she and my parents themselves gathered to find me a dress that suits their taste.. the staff was so offended.. aishhh

When they got back, they handed a dress to my dressing room, a very conservative type one.. It was elegant and beautiful in the same time...

I wore it and tied my hair to a bun, and the staff escorted me out of the fitting room and the people are so stunned, I can say that my mom is nearly crying and Lucas' mother is so happy..

"I like it now.. this is what I want" Lucas' mother exclaimed in a Chinese tone, my parents are happy too, I took my chance to look at the mirror and I was awed, this dress is really pretty, I then imagined myself walking in the aisle..... I always dreamt to be married like this... a tear fell....

"Are you going to say yes to the dress now?" the staff questioned, I took a glance at myself and looked at Lucas who is now very stunned by my beauty... He kept quiet all the time, quietly staring at me like daggers in my skin...

"Yes~" I answered while staring at him back, and we both smiled, he stood up and walked towards me and pulled me to a hug, he gave a peck kiss on my cheek and stared at me, foreheads connecting and kissed me... I was caught off guard but that was my first kiss, my first kiss with him...

All people clapped and I kissed back for the first time ....
