The AUCTION BRIDE

Accident

Argh!

His grandpa has been nagging him again about getting married sooner. He wanted to refuse but he has no voice to protest what his grandpa wanted.

And today's family dinner, he announced that he already choose someone he wanted him to date.

Date! It's 2020! No parents should have meddled to the youngsters if they wanted to date! Not to mention this arrange marriage thing!

Lewey speeds up his motorcycle and did not minimize the speed when he turns right in the next corner. Unfortunately, he almost hit a person on a bicycle.

He hit the break and turned his head, glancing at the person he almost hit. He took his big bike around and come close to that person to check him out.

"Are you okay?" Lewey took off his helmet.

To his surprise, the person on the bicycle punches him.

"Wait! How dare you to--" he paused when realizing who it is. "It is you?"

"And it is you! How so unlucky I often cross and meet you!" she yells at him.

"Ah. . ." it's truly his fault. "I'll take you to the hospital," he offers. He watched the woman checking out her elbow.

"No, thanks!" she refused.

Suddenly, a patrol car notices them. The police officer steps out and walks closer to them.

"What happens here?" the policeman asked.

"This guy! He almost murders me!"

"What? That's exaggerating! I may almost hit you but I have no intention to murder you!"

She just glares at him. Lewey sighed.

"See, officers? He admitted, he almost hit me because of his boastfulness!"

His eyes grew bigger. "What!?" Lewey snapped. "I am not! I was just driving!"

"A reckless driver, officer!"

The woman keeps pointing at him. "I am not!" he denied.

"Look, Officer. I dis voluntarily offer her to bring her to the hospital but she is refusing!"

The police officer just watches them, dumbfounded.

"You know what? If the two of you having a lover's quarrel, both of you should talk calmly and not chasing around in the middle of the street."

"We're not chasing around!" they said at once.

"Then, do we have to settle this in the Station?"

The two of them looked at each other and then smiled at the police patroller.

There's no way for them to have a police record!

Chelsca washing her elbow in the toilet room of this convenience store. She watched her reflection on the mirror and she looks like an embarrassment. She sighed.

Why of all people? That guy she would meet tonight!

She steps outside of the convenience store and saw Lewey sitting on his motorbike.

He handed her a pouch of medicine. She snatches it and cleans her own wound.

"Here,"

Chelsca looks at the band-aid Lewey handed her. She wanted to avoid her elbow but Lewey already holds it and put the band-aid on her wound.

"No, thanks. I am going now," she said and push her bike but her elbow starts twitching in pained.

He was stunned by the way she treated him. Lewey shook his head and asked her, "Are you really okay, now?"

She gives him that kind of look who was like he did a huge mistake at her.

He could not really understand her.
