Bitter Sweet

Chapter 1

Tay's POV

'WHAT?! MARRIED??' I raised my voice to mom and dad. 'I know it's so sudden Tay but we already consider her as our daughter and she's really kind, who knows you would fall for her' said his papa. 'You know i got Jess right? Why won't you accept her?'. I can't believe that my life would changed. Can I elope with Jess? Yes I guess that would change their decision. 'The decision is final Tay, your wedding will be this weekend. Its a private event so you can bring your friends' said Mr. Mew. 'I'll freeze your account if your disobey us, Tay' Dad warned me.

When I hear that, I immediately go out from the house and called Arm, my best friend. 'Arm, are you free?where are you?I have BIG problem'. I vent all my frustration to Arm. 'In my condo, just come here Tay' Arm replied. In 20 minute, I arrived at Arm's condo and knocked his door loudly. Arm opened the door and look furious at Tay. 'Why can't you just ring the bell?' Arm sighed.

'So tell me what's your big problem?' asked Arm while rolled his eyes. Before I telling him, i take a deep breath. 'I have to get married with someone who I doesn't know'. 'What do you mean by that?' Arm still shocked by what he hear from me. 'My parents decide to make a decision with who am i gonna marry and they didn't accept Jess. I have Jess for God sake!'.

Arm's POV

What? Did I hear it correctly, Tay's gonna married? I can't believed it because as far as I know Tay isn't ready for marriage. 'So who is this unlucky girl?' I decided to ask Tay. ' Daughter of an old friends of my parents' he said. 'What's her name Tay?' 'How should I know? As if I'm interested with her' said Tay. What does he think? He's gonna marry unnamed girl is it? Tay being Tay, I know him, if he doesn't interested on something, he would ignore it. Tay and me has been best friend since undergraduate program at Chulalongkorn university. He met Jess during freshman orientation meanwhile both of us are a liaison for freshman. Currently, Jess pursue her Master at the same university.

'So what are you gonna do? when is the wedding?' I asked Tay while he's looking a mess. 'This weekend.' said Tay. 'What? This weekend? So fast?'. I was shocked with his respond. Tay just staring at the coffee that I made for him earlier and said 'I don't know why my parents so eager to make her as daughter-in-law, Jess would be perfect wife for me'. 'It's ok Tay, let's see how does this go' I was trying to comfort him.

Erin's POV

At university.

Finally, new semester has started. I was standing infront of faculty and suddenly my best friend, Angel smacked my shoulder. 'Erin! Good morning!' 'It hurts Angel, can you stop smacking my shoulder? I swear my shoulder would dislocated because of you'. She was rubbing my shoulder and apologized. Then we start to walk to our office, for Phd candidate, we will have our own cubicle in the office for us to do research. Once we enter the room, we were surprised at Bright and his boyfriend, Win. 'sorry to interrupt your moment Bright' said Angel and chuckled at them.

Angel is like a sister to me. She was there when I am stressed with my works and she would try to brightened my day unlike Bright with her cold face. I think all the girls are afraid to approach him except Win. I don't know why his name is Bright when he is not bright with others except us.

At noon.

My phone suddenly rang with unknown number. 'Hello? is this Erin?' says the person. 'Yes. May I know who is this?' 'Erin, I am Gulf, your parents friend and also wife of Uncle Mew' I suddenly straighten my body after hear this. 'I remember. How are you Mr.?' honestly I don't know how to address them because I haven't met them yet. 'Erin, you can call me papa and dad for Uncle Mew'. He started to giggled at my respond. 'Ok papa.' I replied meanwhile Angel shocked to hear this and started to eavesdropped my conversation. I tried to stop her and give Bright a sign to take Angel away from me. Bright immediately get up from his seat and pull Angel. I hear Bright scolded her 'Why are you being such busybody Angel?'
