Like We Used To [COMPLETED]

Am I Dreaming?

Jennie's

"Whaaaat?! Are you out of your mind, mom."

"I'm not, so get yourself ready. We're going to meet your in-laws."

"Mom please, I don't want to get married."

"Why baby? Do you love someone else."

Of course not!

"Mom please, i'm not ready yet."

"Jennie, I said what I said. No more talking. Me and your dad and them already settled this."

Wow. Just wow. Without consulting me? Like seriously?

"Why in the rush mom?"

"We are helping each other business, Ruby Jane."

Wow. Just for business huh?

"What am I, a toy? A thing?"

"I'm also doing this for you, you'll thank me later. I know." Then she smiled.

Wierd.

I can't tell her that i'm trying to win back my Manoban. For sure she'll get mad. After that hospital incident I'm back with our plan. But i'm still hesitating. She hates me. How can I win her back?

I can't claim her mine at the same time I can't let her go. I love her to the moon and back to back to back.

I went back to my room to get ready. I guess I can't do anything about this f*cking marriage. Lisa please, save me.

I prepared my things, and my heart.

Someone's knocking.

"I'm coming, mom!"

"Faster Ruby Jane. We're late."

Wow. I'm speechless with my mom's attitude. Sounds like she's excited. Well, i'm not.

I brought my things then went outside. I'm going to make a deal to my mom. This is my greatest escape.

We are now here in the car going to the airport. So my soon-to-be husband is a foreigner?

"Mom?"

"Yes, Jennie?"

"Are you really going to gave me to them? Your precious daughter? Your one and only daughter?"

"Stop doing that. It can't save you from getting married."

"I guess so."

Fudge! What to do?

"Ahm. Mom?"

"Again?" She smirked.

"Let's make a deal."

"My daughter making a deal to her mother? Are you sure baby?"

Sounds creepy, mom.

"Yes."

"Okay, so what's the deal?"

"I'm going to marry whoever you want but promise me that if it doesn't work out within a year you'll set me free?"

"Set you free? You're not behind bars or something. You are totally free my baby. What are you talking about."

Yes. I'm free but I can't breathe. I can't decide on my own. I can't love her because of you. Yeah, my Manoban. I can't be with her because you don't want me to.

"Hays. I'm not kidding, mom. If our marriage doesn't work out within a year we'll get a divorce then I can love whoever I want. Whoever I want mom. And all you can do is to support me and be happy for me, for us."

She smiled.

"Deal."

What?! I can't believe her. Where's my real mom? She's not my mom.

"Where is my mom?" I told her in a serious face.

Then she burts into laughter.

"I don't know that you're funny, baby. I'm sorry for all the pain that i've caused. I love you that's why I did all those unbelievable things."

What's this?

She hugged me.

"I love you, My Ruby Jane. I always do. I'm sorry for the past few years. I know I made your life like a living hell. I'm so sorry baby." She cries.

I don't know why she keeps on saying she's sorry. I just told her that it's fine.

"I love you too, mom. I'm sorry if i'm not a good daughter to you and to dad. It's just you know—"

"I know baby, believe me I know everything. And i'm sorry again."

I'm confused.

Out of nowhere I just said, "Thank you mom."

She let go of me then she wiped her tears.

"Be ready my Jendeukie, this will be my best birthday gift for you."

How did she know that Jendeukie thingy?

And I forgot, it's almost my birthday.

"Where are we going mom?"

"To the one you'll get to marry."

"I know mom, I mean in which country?"

"Wait until you find out."

"You're not a fan of surprises mom. I know you."

"You don't know me yet baby. Like I don't know your whole being because I was so busy taking care of our business. I forgot my baby's happiness. Again, i'm sorry."

"Please mom, enough of that. I'm going to sleep."

I closed my eyes. Whoever you are, I'll make your life miserable just to escape this marriage and be with my Lisa. I feel sorry for you.

It's just a year, Lili. Please wait for me. Don't be inlove with someone else.
