What If - Chapter 3 Balloons

I can’t believe I’m about to do this! And to think I got myself talking into this by nutcase Ryan of all people! My life is officially going downhill.

‘Oi, Theo, are you done daydreaming yet? Come on man, we got a mission here!’ a tall boy shouted at his friend.

‘I still can’t believe I let you talk me into doing this! It’s going to be so embarrassing if it fails.’

‘Don’t worry about a thing! It’s foolproof! I even got the girls to check everything out and even they think nothing can go wrong!’

‘Still, do I have to wear this ridiculously embarrassing suit?!’ Theo pointed at the suit he was told to wear for tonight’s mission.

‘I look like an oversized Teletubby.’

‘They don’t come in pink and don’t worry; you don’t look stupid at all.’ Ryan was trying very hard to suppress his laughter.

‘I am going to kill you!!!’ Theo proceeded to strangling Ryan.

‘Oi! Cut it out! Target is approaching!’ a girl with jet black hair piped up all of a sudden.

‘Sandy, she has a name you know.’ An obvious hint of annoyance in Theo’s voice for Sandy referred her as a ‘target’.

‘Whatever T, just get out there and do everything we taught you!’

‘Easy for you guys to say, you’re not the one in this silly suit!’

‘Stop complaining and go! I can see them coming already!’

Sandy and Ryan pushed Theo out of their hiding place and the embarrassed Theo quickly put on the head. He lifted the head a little and turned around to see the two giving him thumbs up. Knowing there’s no escaping, Theo sighed and nodded and quickly took his place in Ryan’s so-called ‘super foolproof, nothing could possibly go wrong plan to confess to the girl of your dreams’.

***

‘Cecil, can you please tell me why you dragged me here when it’s almost closing time?’

‘You ask way too many questions. Just trust me, now come on.’

Jessica looked at Cecil with one brow raised but shrugged and followed her into the amusement park. Cecil chuckled at Jessica’s blur nature and quickly, took her to the rendezvous point.

‘Hey Jess, wait for a sec, I need to go er, powder my nose.’ Cecil said and quickly ran off in the opposite direction, leaving a very confused Jessica standing in front of the merry-go-round.

‘But the washroom is that way…’ Jessica saw the signboard that pointed in the other direction.

Meanwhile at the hiding spot…

‘hey guys, am I late?’

‘noe, right on time. Now, let’s sit back and enjoy the show.’

‘I feel bad for Theo though, that suit is seriously very silly’

Back at Jessica…

‘Where is that girl!’ Jessica had been pacing for a good 10minutes now and Cecil is nowhere to be seen. Jessica fished out her phone and dialed her number.

“the number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please..”

Jessica disconnected the call when the merry-go-round started operating all of a sudden.

‘What in the world?’ Jessica’s eyes widen when she saw a bear jumped off the ride and started wiggling its body, dancing to some imaginative music.

Jessica laughed at the scene before her, not only was the bear’s action silly, but the head was on backwards. Silly bear

The bear continued its silly dance, having both arms in front of it, fisted, moved them with its body together in a spinning movement. The bear spun for a while until it got dizzy and stared shuffling.

‘Hahahaha!! Yah, what are you doing?!’ Jessica slowly approached the dancing bear and was about to grab the head but the bear dodged it before she could.

After moving a few steps back, the bear finally stopped dancing, slid the head front and center and signaled to her to stop advancing further. It then went back to the merry-go-round and brought out a bouquet and gave them to her.

Surprised, Jessica was reluctant to accept them but did it anyway because the bear was being adamant.

At the hiding spot…

‘That’s not part of the plan!! Flowers are supposed to come later!’ Ryan complained.

‘Shut up!’ Sandy and Cecil said instantaneously.

At the merry-go-round…

The bear pointed at itself with its thumbs, shaking its butt and body left and right repeatedly, then made a heart above its head, still shaking, then pointed at her.

Jessica smirked. I see.. she smiled and took a deep breath.

‘Theo, you don’t have to do this you know.’

The bear immediately stopped, frozen at its spot.

‘Now, be a good bear and take off the head and tell me properly.’ Jessica said flatly while trying to control her laughter.

‘Yes, Sergeant.’ Such a sergeant. The head was removed, revealing a nervously smiling Theo.

‘You were saying…’

‘er..like I was trying to say just now…’ he gulped before continuing, obviously nervous and also struggling to find the correct words.

‘…I really, really like you and will you be my girlfriend?’

At the hiding spot…

‘What?!! The head wasn’t supposed to come off yet!’

‘Oh enough about it Ryan, at least things went well.’ Cecil pointed at the two.

Ryan and Sandy turned their attention to Theo and Jessica and saw them walking away, arms linked.

‘You were saying about your foolproof plan?’

‘It’s not my fault he didn’t stick to it. I’m pretty sure things would’ve still turned out well if EVERYTHING went according to plan.’ Ryan emphasized on everything.

‘Stop bickering and let’s pack up and go. Mission accomplished troops! Now let’s go eat, I’m starving.’

And the three went off to eat.

***

‘hahahahahaha!! So the bear suit and dancing was Ryan’s idea of a foolproof confession?’ Jessica burst laughing after Theo told her about the whole thing.

‘I improvised a lot ok!’

‘I’m glad you did.’

Tbc.

Chapter 4-End

A/N: annyong! haha since when have i stuck to my words of not updating? kekeke so yea, i know this chapter is bleh~ cz i have no idea how to write the confession so i sort of borrowed some ideas from stories/movies that i know. Oh..also to understand how he was dancing (i'm bad with words so i don't know how to describe it properly) pls check out this MV =]

comments are love =]

Hopeless Romantic

Ok Rachel, I Googled those two words and tada~ these are the definitions that came out =]

1. This person is in love with love.They believe in fairy tales and love.They're not to be confused as stalkers or creepy because that's not what a hopeless romantic is. All hopeless romantics are idealists,the sentimental dreamers,the imaginative and the fanciful when you get to know them.They often live with rose colored glasses on.They make lovelook like an art form with all the romantic things they do for their special someone.

2. A hopeless romantic is not the same as a hopeless flirter. A hopeless romantic dreams of who they will spend the rest of their life with and what the two of them will do together. They want to be romanced with sweet simple things and the thoughtful amazing surprises. They dream of being loved but also loving somebody. They don't just want somebody to hold them. they also want to hold someone. They realize that love isn't just about one person but both people. they are hopelessly in love with being loved AND loving back.

3. A person who daydreams about romantic occasions and dreams of chances where he/she will be able to perform a romantic act to their love, yet never gets the chance to.

4. Hopeless Romantics are NOT Hopeless per-say, but very true, caring, and loving people. They are "NOT MADE FOR TODAYS STANDARDS", sadly. They believe in passion, chivalry, and true love. They have loved sincerely at one point in their life, discovered what love feels like, and can't understand why it was not returned in the same form. Hopeless Romantics are usually dreamers, idealists, and sincere, however what they expect in any relationship is a full return for their effort and caring, to be loved as much as they loved. What makes them "Hopeless" is the fact that they are few and far between in todays daily life, and usually get let down in the long run, even though they gave all they had to give, money, love, time, housing, belongings. Hopeless Romantics give 100% ALL the time, and hope for the same in return.

5. Someone who believes in a true love. This true love endures time and circumstance in the hopeless romantic's heart. This person is a believer and a dreamer. They do not qualify as a stalker because they don't want to infringe on the rights of others. They are patient and caring. They may or may not know their true love. They forgive easily and are prone to broken hearts. They often see the world through rose-colored-glasses.

Ooookkaaay....hahahaha!!

ok Ray, if based on these few definitions, yes i am a hopeless romantic =]

I Close My Eyes (LOL)

I wonder if it’s because of my lack of sleep lately or is it because of other factors, but I’ve been having really weird dreams nowadays.

The day before I dreamt of Toy Story but Woody and Buzz seem to have merged into one body, Woody’s. He was still in the cowboy suit but he looked more buffed. Then he was looking for something small on the ground, but whenever he reached for it, it would always fall into a hole and that repeated for quite some time.

Then it somehow jumped to a college cafeteria scene. Everything was white; benches were made of metal bars placed parallel to one another to make the seats. Then I met one of my friends who I haven’t seen in a very long while together with his sister. But everything seemed so awkward, like the first meeting when making new friends. Something was wrong with his sister, too. White substance oozed out from her eyes.

Last night, I dreamt of school teachers that I haven’t seen in a long time, in particular a certain shortie. I don’t know why, please don’t ask.

Everything is so weird lately.

I’m afraid to take afternoon naps because I’m scared that I cannot sleep at night. Whenever I lie down on the bed after lights out, I’m scared that I’m going to spend hours rolling on the bed, forcing myself to sleep.

I can’t sleep well, and I don’t know why. I ended up replaying the chorus of Hoot over and over again in my head last night because I felt it helped make me sleepy and it did. That’s another thing funny about me, I can fall asleep even though I’m listening to fast beat music.

Umbrella - Epilogue

Morning had arrived. In the heart of a city, the sun’s rays were blocked by skyscrapers, allowing only a few shafts of light to penetrate the city. He stood at the balcony, enjoying the cool morning air. Cayden enjoyed this particular time of day the most, feeling the breeze gently caress his face, the tingly feeling one gets from it. Truly wonderful. The sunrise seems to have woken up many of his animal neighbours, cats mewing and birds chirping away as everyone prepare themselves to face a new day, with new hopes and a fresh outlook on the world.

A pair of arms slowly wrapped themselves around the his waist and a chin rested on his left shoulder. He smiled, knowing perfectly well who the owner was, turned around and the latter embraced.

‘Why are you up early? Normally you won’t wake up until pass 12’ he teased.

‘I don’t like sleeping alone on the bed. It feels so empty and cold. So technically, it’s your fault I’m up so early,’ she replied as she brushes her lips against his.

‘You haven’t brushed your teeth, have you? Looks like I’m the only one that can stand your morning breath!’ he said with a cheeky grin plastered across his face.

‘Yah! Do I have a ‘tease me’ sign hanging around my neck? Why are you teasing me so much in the morning?’ she pouted as she made her way towards the bathroom.

‘Aw, is my girl mad? I’m sorry’

***

Cayden made breakfast for 2 as he waited for his girlfriend to finish washing up. A grin found its way to his face as he thought of his plans for the day. Today was a special day for the two of them. It was on this very day years ago that they first met. It was their anniversary today and he had planned a special date to commemorate this occasion. Everything has been set to be perfect.

‘I hope all goes as planned today.’ He said to himself while cooking.

After breakfast the both of them went out for a what-seems-to-be just another date between them. First, they went to the mall for a shopping spree. Of course, what girl would turn down an opportunity like that? Jessica was more than happy to oblige to her boyfriend’s date plan.

As they exited each store, a new bag would be added to Cayden’s arms while Jessica wonders off into another. The cycle is repeated until her stomach began to grumble.

‘Honey, I’m hungry. Let’s go eat!’

‘Sure, no problem. Just let me unload these shopping bags into the car first, ok?’

‘Ok, but make it snappy, I’m hungry.’

‘I won’t take more than 10 minutes. I promise.’

True enough Cayden stuck to his words. Within 10 minutes they were off to Jessica’s favourite cafe within the mall for lunch. How sweet the both of them looked walking together, with their arms intertwined with each other, Jessica’s head on his shoulder, a lovely sight.

****

The sky turned vermillion and the colour slowly faded, turning the sky dark and the city began to be lit up by lights. I took her down to the waterfront, she always love the sound of waves lapping by the shore and the salty sea breeze. I personally don’t favour the sea but since I want her to enjoy my plan as much as I do, I’ve decided not to be selfish for once.

‘Sica, if you had to rate this date on the scale of one to ten, how would it fare?’

‘hmm, I don’t know, why?’

‘Nothing, just curious.’

‘What’s up with you today?’

Crap, have I been found out?!

‘You’re acting really weird since we went shopping this morning’

Oh crap, was I too obvious?

‘But I like it, it’s sweet’

Crap. I think she knows. Well, at least she liked it.

‘Did you plan everything beforehand?’

What should I say?

*ahem*

Ok, here I go.

‘Sica, do you remember what today is?’

‘hmm?’

‘You forgot?’

‘No! Of course not. How can I forget our anniversary? Tell me the truth, you planned everything for today, didn’t you?’

Time to come clean.

*sigh*

‘Yeah, I wanted today to be special. Did it work?’

‘hmm, you can say so’ she said as she wrapped her arms around my neck.

I guess it’s now or never!

‘You know, there is one more thing left on my agenda today’

‘Really? We’ve been out the entire day, you have more planned?’

‘Yup! And this agenda is special!’ I said as I reached for something in my pocket.

‘It’s beautiful!’

‘True, but it doesn’t match your beauty’

‘Cheesy’

‘But you like it, don’t you?’

She didn’t reply, instead, she kissed me on the cheek.

‘Sica-ah, will you marry me?’ I whispered into her ear in the middle of the kiss.

‘I would have to think about it’ she replied cheekily as she pulled away and started skipping towards the playground in front of us.

‘Yah, Jessica! Answer my question!’

She stopped. I felt my body tensed up as she turned around with a blank face. What will she say?

Then, she grinned.

‘Of course I will say yes, you idiot! I’ve been waiting for you to ask since, like, forever ago!’

***

End.

A/N: it’s raining freaking cats and dogs here, scratch that, it's a freaking heavy thunderstorm here! and I thought of this. Kekeke okok this epilogue is fail. =.= so embarrassing to read. And yea, I felt bad for having you guys wait for 2weeks for the next What If chapter. Haha so tada~

Haizz

Looking back at the year that had just passed, things have definitely changed. And for the better, in my opinion.

A year has passed just like that, it amazes me yet it scares me.

How long has it been since we met? 15 years? Close enough.

I met you in kindergarten, spent 2 years there then ‘graduated’.

Then I saw you in primary school. We were never in the same class though.

Then I saw you in secondary school. Seriously, you’re everywhere I go. haha we were classmates until our 4^th year.

Then came the time where all of us had to part. Some went to the city, some went to little towns while others stayed back.

I left first, thinking I won’t be able to see my classmates anymore seeing how the place I’m going to isn’t every popular among them.

Then to my surprise I saw you here!

I was so happy that you came here with another close friend of ours.

I had English speaking friends for once in my life here.

We could talk and talk and talk forever.

Then one left.

And now, it’s your turn.

Aigoo…

I’m going to miss hanging out, having dinner, talking crap and laughing till I cry with you.

Sad nya aku T^T

And later we’re going out for our last dinner. Sad dao~

Cheng Tse En, we’ve been school mates for 15years and now it’s time to say goodbye

What If - Chapter 2 Lonely Like A Fool

Ring ring ring

A hand lazily stretched out from under the covers to retrieve the ringing contraption. After the hand had gotten hold of the phone, a head lazily came up from the pillow and the figure flipped himself to lay on his stomach, elbows supporting his weight.

His eyes reluctantly opened, to see a bright screen and the name of the sleep interrupter.

Incoming call: Sergeant Sica

With eyes half opened, he answered the call, only to hear a high pitch squeal from the other line.

He immediately pulled the phone away from his ear and let the squeal die down before answering the caller.

‘Hey Sica, what’s up?’ a yawned escaped soon after.

‘Hey, am I catching you at a bad time?’

‘No, not at all, so what’s up?’ he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and sat up, leaning against the wall.

‘I can’t sleep! I keep thinking about my date just now. It was so perfect!’

Sensing the excitement in girl’s voice, he decided not to be a wet blanket and let her continue talking while he listened half asleep.

It had always been like that, she would go on a date, at night afterwards, called him to talk about it; how perfect or disastrous it was. She would tell him everything and he would let her even though it was way pass midnight because he knew that her parents didn’t allow her to go out on week nights. He would listen to her stories until late at night, and sleep half the day away the following day.

He didn’t mind it though, she was his best friend. It was only natural for her to tell him every single thing. The duo met in a playground years ago, with the little girl getting bullied and the little boy helping her. They became best friends ever since.

‘Theo? You there?’ Sergeant Sica asked after not hearing responses for a few minutes.

‘Yea, yea yea. You were saying?’ he quickly snapped out of his nap and listened.

‘Theo, I think I better not bother you any longer. It’s like 3am already. Go to bed after this ok?’ she sounded guilty after knowing Theo dozed off again.

‘Huh? No, it’s totally ok. Go on.’

‘No, no. we’ll talk about it next time, ok? Sorry Theo.’

‘It’s ok, nights sergeant’ he said it with a smile.

‘Nights Theo.’

Theo dropped on the bed almost instantly after she hung up.

***

A freshman was sitting with his group of friends at the lunch table, happily chatting and eating before someone walked behind him and covered his eyes.

‘Hey Theo!’

He smiled and removed the hands and was met with a smiling Jessica.

‘Hey Sergeant Sic. Where’s …’

‘Jess! Over here.’ another boy called her from a few tables away.

‘Alright.’ she waved at the boy and turned back to Theo.

‘Gotta go, Theo. Chat with ya later’ she gave him a pat on the head and went over to her boyfriend.

Theo sighed as he turned back to his lunch, by which, he already had no appetite to finish.

‘You know, if you like her, tell her.’ One of his friends nudged him.

‘I can’t do that, what if..’

‘man, you have too many what ifs in your head.’

‘Just do what you think is right.’ a girl with jet black hair said.

‘Yea, what she said.’

‘I can’t do that and you know why I can’t.’

‘Oh we know alright’ the girl scoffed

‘You’re just being chicken. If you really like her, then just go for it!’

Theo sighed and shook his head. This conversation was not new among his friends. Heck, they go through this almost every week.

They continued eating until..

*phak*

The entire cafeteria became silent as the sound of palm meeting cheek echoed in the once noisy space. Heads turned and everybody could see a girl glaring fiercely at a boy with fists gripped so tightly that her knuckles were turning white.

‘I can’t believe you! We’re through!’ she shouted at him and left.

As soon as she walked out, the cafeteria came back to life with students whispering among themselves about what just happened. Some confused, some happy while some were sad to see them break like that.

***

Where could she be? The roof, of course…

Theo climbed the stairs and opened the door leading to the roof, Jessica’s favourite spot in the whole school. She usually goes there if she wanted to take a nap or to just relax and escape every once in a while.

He saw the girl almost immediately after opening the door; she was sitting on the bench at the gazebo staring off into space. He made his way over and sat on the bench opposite hers.

‘Sergeant?’ he waved his hand in front of her face.

No response came from the girl.

Spacing out again..

He then took out his notebook and ripped out a piece of paper, scribbled something and threw it at her.

Once the paper bounced off her head, she snapped out of her trance and unfolded it, not aware of him at all.

“hey sergeant, wad cha thinking bout?”

She finally noticed him and smiled. ‘nothing much, don’t worry bout it.’

‘you sure?’

‘yea, he’s a jerk anyway. Jocks are always like that.’

He nodded and went to take a seat beside her.

‘you know, I knew we would never last.’ She slowly rested her head on his shoulder.

‘Oh?’

‘His eyes were never on me.’ She sighed

‘There are better guys out there, don’t worry bout it.’

*rrrriiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnngggggggg*

‘lunch’s over, better get back to class. Get off.’ Theo moved his shoulder up and down to shake off Jessica’s head.

‘Stop shaking, you’re giving me a headache!’ she playfully slapped his arm.

The both of them got up, walked back to class and Jessica acted as though nothing had happened during lunch, because she didn’t really care about the boy she just dumped.

Chapter 3

A/N: ok, so i'm sort of running out of ideas for this..but i do have a rough idea where this is going. haha and sorry for the bore in this. i'm no Shakespeare but i'll try my best. anyway. this will be the last update until my exams finish.

pls comment =]

Chaos at the airport

“Right behind is Taeng, I cannot think of anything else besides tagging behind to where she is : ((( . Right beside Taeng is Fany, Fany is also breath-taking, her face looks like a doll : ((( slender face shape and extremely gorgeous features. Fany's left arm is hooked onto Taeng's right arm, at this time I'm standing parallel to Taeng and walking beside her, then [I?] walked back to the front = ))) just then a big crowd approached from the back, all Yul's fans : (( .. Yul must be exhausted today, her fans are biggest in number and also the loudest/craziest =.,=. When that crowd approaches is also when Taeng and Fany got pushed and shoved forward, there are only a few people in the back of where Tae and Fany stand, and I am one of them. My friend is just right behind, she came late but was lucky enough to catch up to Taeng =]]

I stay on Taeng's right. Right at that time I notice that Taeng's mood is not as good as before, head's kept down, her left hand's lifted up to cover her mouth and she appears to be on the verge of ... crying.
I ... don't know how to describe it, Taeng little, so very tiny standing right in front of me, just 30 cm away. In fact I can see clearly all the moles on her face, [all the other 8 wear make-up except for Taeng]. Her clothes and hairdo, she's so interestingly simple/modest (:

Honestly I really don't want to tell you guys what I witness, which is something I think I can never forget. At the corner of Taeng's eye appears a sparkling droplet. Yeah, it's tear. Her face looks scared and Taeng's tears drop down. In the spark of that moment I feel like there's a needle poked right through my heart. Hundreds of wonders/questions pop into my head. I don't know what to do or say, then maybe it's subconscious instinct, I touch her shoulder and ask "Taeyeon, Are you oke?" She's still covering her face trying to stop crying. I look to the side, and realize that Fany's face appears very stern and worried looking at Taeng. At this time Fany's arm is not on Tae anymore, but Teang's right arm grabs/holds tightly onto Fany's. I have to say it was an extremely tight hold, Taeng's head is lowered leaning completely onto Fany's shoulder. There's a fan with a camera taking pictures, but Fany signals with her hand "don't take anymore", then that person stops as well. Right then Fany says something to Taeng but I don't understand : ((((((((((((( . Sounds like asking or something : ((((.
We reach the parking lot now, the long line of fans from the front to the back gets stuck into a big circle. Looking at Taeng and Fany get into the black car, I then come to realize that I have also been crying unknowingly”

Reading this *fan account makes me forget about my excitement about the *‘TaeNy’ moment in Beijing Airport a few days ago.

From the videos uploaded onto YT, I could see that Taeyeon was practically clinging onto Tiffany for dear life after they were surrounded by overly excited fans. Taeyeon was scared. It was written all over her face. Her body language showed it as well, her head held low, buried in Tiffany’s shoulder, a scraft/cloth was pressed against her face, hands held tightly onto Tiffany’s.

Seeing Taeyeon like this no doubt saddens me. As a SONE and a Taegang, never would I want to see any of them be like this. I’m guessing that Taeyeon is still a bit traumatized by that incident in Lotte World last week.

Lucky for her, Tiffany sensed it as well and was very protective of Taeyeon that day at the airport. She even asked fans to back off/stop taking pictures and give them some space. Tiffany was fierce and stern that day, determined to help Taeyeon as much as possible. Hence, Manager Hwang/Ti-Manager (a nickname SONEs gave her) appeared.

So here’s a fancam at Beijing Airport the other day. Skip to around 1:50 to see Taeyeon & Tiffany. Then at the last 10seconds, you can see Tiffany asking the fans to back off/stop taking pictures.

Here are some pictures from the TaeNy thread at ssf.

Taeyeon clinging onto Tiffany

here you can see Taeyeon holding on to Tiffany's hands tightly

and here we can see Manager Hwang asking the fans to back off/stop taking pictures

*fan account : diaries of fans of events
*TaeNy: Taeyeon + Tiffany. Fans pair up the girls, in this case, it would be Taeyeon and Tiffany, hence, TaeNy. A very much loved pair among the various pairings.

4hours

Hey boys, hey girls,

So sweet together.

What the hell is the alarm ringing so early in the morning!

A figure unwillingly reached out her hand towards the floor, feeling for her phone to off the alarm. She brought up the phone to her face, looking at the time that flashed in the bright screen.

8:00a.m.

Wae?! Wae am I up?

She let the phone slid out of her grip onto the mattress. And then a message came.

From: mom

If the neighbour’s car is parked there, be careful when reversing.

Arasso..

The phone left her grip and she continued to snuggle under the sheets and pillows for another few minutes before sitting up.

Ya hor, I’m taking the car for a service later.

She picked herself up from the bed and went to wash up, then headed down to make breakfast.

***

‘So the total amount for the service is roughly 420. It will be ready by 12.30pm. Will you be waiting here until it’s done?’

‘Yes, I’ll be at the lounge. Can you give me a call when it’s done?’

‘Of course.’

‘Oh and can you please call this number? It’s my mom, she has some requests regarding the car service.’

‘Of course.’

After the call, the brunette walked towards the lounge, rubbing her eyes to at least look at bit fresh. She took a seat and one of the tables and settled everything on the table; the receipt, water bottle, pouch and her bag.

From the bag, she retrieved a book which she bought yesterday, My Sister’s Keeper.

I rather read this than that.

She looked at the blue file in the bag, filled with her Economics notes.

I’ll read them at home.

She started reading, occasionally glancing at her watch and her surroundings.

She was seated at the centre of a showroom. Large glass windows let the warm sun rays in and lit the area. Images of cars and furniture, as well as human, reflected upon the well kept floor tiles. Children, whose parents were also waiting, ran around the room, playing with their siblings and friends.

At another table, 4 people were having snacks and drinks. She could feel her stomach growl all of a sudden.

Should’ve taken a drink this morning..aigoo

She glanced at her watch. 10.30…one down, two hours to go.

She continued reading her book, letting out numerous yawns in the process.

***

This is so freaking boring…why did I even agree to this?

Stretching her arms out after 2hours of sitting down, she let her eyes wondered again. After all, there was nothing to be done besides sit there.

The snacking people are gone, so are the kids and their parents. Wait..how come I didn’t noticed them gone? Must’ve been paying too much attention to the book. Cheh wa..paying too much attention wor..hehehe if only I can do that with my notes, life would be a breeze.

She chuckled at her own silly thought.

***

12.45pm…why am I not surprised the feller haven’t called.

She waited for another 10minutes before gathering her stuff, and walked towards the counter.

‘Excuse me, is my car done yet?’

‘Ah yes, of course.’

After settling the bill etc, she finally got her keys and left that boring place.

Note to self: do not volunteer to wait anymore.

***

Jja jjang~ my 4hour adventure at Toyota showroom & service centre this morning. aigoo it was so freaking boring, I would’ve finished half the book if the words weren’t so small. I only finished ¼ of it.

What If - Prolouge

pardon any errors and enjoy =]

***

Door locked, windows shut and curtains drawn, a girl could be seen sitting on her bed, hugging her legs, face buried between her knees.

Knocks could be heard together with worried voices of the people who cared about her, persuading her to come out from her self-imposed solitary confinement in the bed room.

She didn’t want to, she wanted to stay locked up in her room forever if she could. But she knew it was impossible. That faithful day was drawing closer and there was nothing that she could do to stop it from happening.

What’s done was done.

Time could not be reversed; broken hearts could not be mended.

The choice was made, there’s no way of turning back.

Or is there?

What if

A/N: tada~the prologue is here. Miss Procrastinator Productions present to you a short story of roughly less than 10chapters (most likely going to be around 5-6) titled What If. LOL please excuse this totally nonsensical note, haha. I'm trying to destress after a bad first half of the day.

Chapter 1: Choices

A girl with auburn hair sat in front of a mirror, starring at her reflection whilst others were busy preparing for an event behind her. She saw everything through the mirror, for she was getting her hair and make-up done, she couldn’t turn around. A faint smile could be seen as she sat there observing the rest.

‘Girl, you need to stop smiling or else I can’t get the make-up done properly’ the make-up artist told her.

‘Sorry..’ she smiled apologetically at her

‘Is everything ready and good to go? How about the catering? Pianist? Receptionists?’

‘Dude, you need to calm down.’

‘WHERE IS SHE?!’ the groom asked, his voice filled with worry.

‘She’s in the room, getting ready. Don’t worry.’

The frantic groom finally managed to calm down, a little, and sat down on one of the pews.

‘I’m really nervous you know..’ he trailed off.

‘I can see that. Don’t worry about a thing. The caterer is currently setting up the food back at your place, as for the pianist, your cousin is playing remember? And the receptionists are already at the front table.’ His friend pointed at the front table where two people could be seen going through the guest lists.

‘You’re right, there’s nothing to worry about.’ The groom took a deep breath and exhaled to regain his composure.

‘Oh my gosh! Jessi, you look absolutely gorgeous!’ one of her friends squealed as she stepped out after changing.

Heads nodded as the bride stood before them after finishing everything.

‘Guys, I’m nervous…’

‘Don’t worry, everything will be alright.

‘Is this the right choice?’

‘Girl, do not think about stuff like that now, ok?!’ her friend snapped at her, taking her by surprise.

***

‘We’re all gathered here today to witness the…’

Gosh, can this be any more boring? Who knew standing at the altar can be such a bore.

I didn’t really hear anything the priest said during the ceremony, I was too busy keeping myself awake by looking at the crowd.

Well, mom and dad look happy, so does Krystal. Well duh, she’s going to get a brother-in-law to spoil her, of course she would be happy.

I looked further back of the hall. Then I saw my group of friends waving at me, smiling from ear to ear.

There they are, as crazy and hyper as ever.

‘…be together through…’

When will this end?!

I looked until I saw a familiar face and I felt my whole body froze.

Why is that person here?!

I saw an old friend, well, more like a, erm…, it’s a bit difficult to describe what he is to me. We were best friends turned lovers during high school. So does that make him my high school sweetheart? But due to some circumstances, we parted.

I continued looking at him before our eyes met all of a sudden. His brown eyes were still as warm as I remembered them to be. He was just sitting here, looking rather hurt, and then he stood up and left.

Why is he doing this to me?!

My face must have looked troubled, because my soon-to-be husband leaned towards me and whispered

‘Are you ok? We’re about to say I do.’

I really don’t know.

I turned towards the door and saw him leaving. His back looked so lonely and full of regrets.

‘..do you take her as your wife?’

o.m.g.

‘Yes, I do.’ he said with a smile

‘Then do you take him as your husband?’ the priest turned to me and said.

What do I do?!!!! I..

I swallowed a lump in my throat, and got ready to say something which I hope I will not regret.

‘I’m sorry, I…I just don’t see this happening. I’m sorry.’

I did not just do that!

Having said that, I turned to my heels and left the altar, leaving the groom and everybody else in the hall dumbfounded.

As I ran down the aisle, Krystal grabbed my arm

‘What are you doing?’

‘Something which I hope I don’t regret.’

She looked at me and nodded before letting me go.

I opened the door, stepping out to find the man that I foolishly left.

Tbc.
