River
watches her walk further away from him and walk to the opposite direction. He keeps
on thinking about his impulsive act. If his mother didn’t keep on nagging him
about getting married and always arrange blind date for him, he won’t make this
decision.
“Bianca,
did I make a good decision? You won’t blame me right?” River asks himself as he
watches the stars above.
Megan
still couldn’t believe what she has heard. She keeps on changing the channel - cursing
River for making her restless. Lean her head to the chair, she thinks about
River proposal.
“He did
treat me good and he is a good friend but the problem is I didn’t love him. How
can I live with him” putting her hand on her face and keep mumbling to herself.
For few
days she can’t do anything correctly or properly and being scolded for doing
simple mistake. And in this few days also River didn’t even try to call her and
really thankful about it. She didn’t need anymore distraction or any pressure
from him.
River on
the other side can’t think straight. He needs to pursue Megan to accept his
marriage proposes. His timeline is near to end. He promises his mother within
end of the month he will bring home his girlfriend and it made him become too
desperate. He has to do something and after 2 days of silent from Megan, he decides
he needs to step up his game.
And… After
the 3rd day, Megan received a bouquet of red roses on her office
desk with a card – Please marry me -.
4th
day, she get a beautiful Fossil watch and a card – I’m waiting for the answer.
Please marry me -.
5th
day, she get a delivery package by hand from Tiffany & Co. It’s a necklace
with a key pendant. A card – You hold the key to my heart. Please marry me -.
The
routine goes for another 5 day. Megan knows she has to give River the answer
and after a deep thought she will follow what her heart says.
“Hello River,
meet me at the usual place… Yes, tomorrow 8.30pm” Megan end her call.
Lying down
on bed, she tries to catch a sleep and after tossing left and right she arrive
in her dreamland.
Megan
stirs her coffee with River staring at her. Megan felt her heart having a somersault, her stomach feeling nausea and her head become dizzy.
“How long
will you keep on silence?” River asks her.
Megan sips
her coffee “Since I don’t want you to waste more money on those stupid present.
I’ve made the decision. I accept you propose but I don’t want any grand
wedding, just a simple one in a small chapel”.
River
widens his eyes when he hears about Megan proposal. Not that he against her
request but he have reputation and name to be considered. He just can’t simply
be wed and not be announce to the world. His mother will make a fuss about it. He
have once told Megan about his wedding plan when he found a bride but now Megan
want to cancel all of his plan and arrangement.
“But
Megan, I have reputation to be consider and my mother, she won’t agree with
you” River tried to tell her his reason.
“No. I
don’t want any big weds. I don’t like being around people” Megan stare at
River.
The
staring game starts but River needs to stand to his decision.
“Please
Megan, can you just agree with everything that I have plan before”.
“No and I
mean it. Take it or leave it” Megan threatened River.
River sign
in defect “Ok but you have to meet my mother before we got married. I’ll
arrange for the two of you to meet”. Megan nod and they both leave the coffee
shop.
After two
days, River brings Megan to meet his mother at their house. River knows his
mother will talking ill towards Megan. They both have been in war since he told
her about his intension to marry Megan. She didn’t approve Megan as Megan isn’t
from a wealthy family and just an average girl.
River
interlaces their fingers while driving and sometimes he will squeeze her hand
and rub his thumb slowly on her knuckles. Megan notices it and she knows River
is intense. The ride was a total silence. No one dares to open their mouth
because both of them know what was in their mind – the mother –.
Megan fell
like she just walks inside a palace. The interior was outstanding with the
colour of the wall, type of furniture arrangement shows how wealthy River
family is. They both been assist to the living room and Megan saw a elegant
lady siting at a cough reading newspaper and when the maid told her their
arrival, she immediately put down the paper and look intensely towards her and
River.
“Megan,
please meet my mother and mom this is Megan” River formally introduce her to
his mother.
“Mrs.
Chen, nice to meet you” Megan bow and put on a respectful smile.
River mother
look at her with a smirk. River notice it and he suddenly hug his mother and
kiss her cheek.
“Mom,
please be nice” River plead his mom in a low voice.
His mother
threw a sharp eye to him. Taking Megan hand, Mrs. Chen drag Megan to sit beside
her and she turn to face her.
“Do you
really want to married my son?” Megan nodded with her eyes looking at Mrs. Chen
nervously.
“Did he
pay you?”
“Mom!”
River throws a stern voice to his mother.
“Chen Chu
He, Don’t interrupt me while I’m talking” Mrs. Chen give a warn tone to her son.
River
knows the tone very well and he also knew when his mother calls him with his
full name. This is not going to sounds good. He better keep his mouth shut. He
looks at Megan with a concern look.
“Son, why
don’t you just wait for us at the dining hall or you can go somewhere else for
the mean time. Let me have a little talk with Megan… alone” Mrs. Chen emphasizes
the word to River.
River
slowly stands up, drags himself out of the living hall and he disappears behind
a big door. Megan on the other half already sweat like a rain watching River
left her with his mom alone. Note that phrase again, alone as in A.L.O.N.E.
Mrs. Chen
takes a brown envelope and passes it to Megan. She opens it and read the
content; her eyes immediately become bigger and tears welling.
