Talia's such a darling. She has surprised me with a birthday party that I had totally forgot. She invited a couple of friends and she made it more fabulous by bringing a music band. She knows I love music especially Ed Sheeran's songs.

After we ate some snacks, I realised it's karaoke time. We sung "perfect" by Ed Sheeran together with Talia. It was magical and I found myself kneeling on my knees, "Will you marry me?" Did I just say that?...did I really mean it??...Oh yeah I did. I love Talia with all of my heart. She just made me see things in a more different way, actually in a more sensible way. She made me trust people again and also she made me feel loved, you know. I thought I'll be the man in this relationship, yeah I'm still the man but ha-ha, she's doing too much.
I want to spend the rest of my life with her, adopt cute babies and nurturing them to be responsible, making love to her even after having a fight. I just want her to be mine forever. My parents wouldn't approve for this but I'm not giving a fuck about that. It's my life.

I almost snapped when she bluntly said no to my proposal. How can she say that to me. I stood up with so much disappointment but I faked a smile. I just couldn't believe it but...she jumped on me and she screamed, " Yeeeesss Baby. I'll marry you. I want to be with you forever. I almost cried but 'the man' in me can't let that happen. Talia almost made me my heart crash into pieces after her first reply, and she has made my heart beat exceedingly faster with excitement. I can't believe it's gonna happen. Wedding bells will be soon enough.

I'm so happy and lively since my 23rd birthday. Everybody at work loves the new me. It's on Wednesday, the busiest day of the week, I'm almost completing my work when I remembered about the boy who got sodomised. He needs justice and I also deserve one whatsoever. Whatever he did cannot go unpunished. But it'll give me stress before my wedding so I'll let it go for now.

I'm taking my boo to the spa today. She deserves it, right?...yeah she does. I'm now used to this awkward faces when people see us together. I'm now even confident enough to take Talia to my parents.

Our hometown is always quiet and clean. I hope my mum is around because I'd want it to be a surprise. The black gate isn't closed so someone's definitely at home. Talia seems a bit tensed but I assure her that everything's going to be alright. I knock the door softly and my brother Brandy opens a wide smile. I really missed him so I wrap him around my arms gently. "Lola!!" Randy shouts my name behind Brandy, who's still in my arms. Then Brandy blabs something, "I don't like her." pointing out to Talia.
