Suci is a realistic kind, very serious in terms of relationship matters but never had one since birth.🤫.

Well inspired by her parents she's looking up to them and their journey as they were married too early, they manage slowly but surely getting up to their plans.💑They do business and still perform..

I could say, we're enough now. I mean what else can I ask if my parent's daily routine on their own is to make me happy and even prouder of them being my parents in every single day of my 18 years of existence?

Well, yeah, I just had my debut yesterday!!!😏

and speaking of the debut, of course, it was unforgettable, remarkable, and oh my gosh,

I can't believe who I just saw. An unexpected, uninvited, unseen stranger🕴️ who tends to have danced with me since I don't have the limit of guy friends to be my 18 roses company..💘

I can't see his whole face as it was a masquerade-themed. He simply danced with me like we were in paradise..oh Mom & Dad can't describe how I felt when I was on the dance floor with him.

(Take note: He is still a stranger)

We just parted when I ordered to. Thanks to Mom and Dad. They gave permission to control the party.YEA!!!

Then I didn't sit all the time. I did a mini concert.. with my best of friends and bandmates.

That night, Mom & Dad told me on stage, "Dear, what we witnessed tonight was our reflection and our dream for you. Be as Happy as we raised you to be. May God be your guidance as this is your legal age of discovery in & out of the house. Please be responsible for everything you do. We will always be here to support you"

ahw😭

Don't worry 💃it's waterproof. I'm still as gorgeous as my Mom 😂

Then at my seat in front of all...the stranger came up and gave me the most worried look and quickly handed me his super thin but super soft handkerchief.. Taking his mask off and 😲😲😲😲

He was the most adorable guy I've ever seen face-to-face in my career.

Why didn't I recognize him on the dance floor? Hmmmm...Dad smiled at us.. looking at me naughtily.

"Why didn't you tell me?"I air-talked to Dad.

"It's okay I'm on it" Dad air be talked as well.

Then the party continued as Mom & Dad replaced the whole band with their band.

The man in front of me saw them performing and he's like 😲😲😲😲😕

"So you are a family of musicians 😊" he opened up.

"Ya..☺️" I responded.

"You were all great and very talented!! I saw all of your parent's performances on YouTube.. including yours 😁" he chuckled.

"What???? including mine??"I was like 😲

"Ye.. I'm looking up to your family. I'm A Fan. Well, I personally wanna introduce myself. I'm ARTUM WOLIN,20, A music and art professor, I do business And still perform at special events. My parents do perform also like yours.. and they were close friends in their time..even now...We're kind of similar ...and not to mention our names.

I still remember what my parents told me about your name.." he's just the one talking.

"Huh?? what's with my name?? It's SUCI MRAT LEIGHTON?"I'm just curious.

Suci never cares to ask her parents about her slightly unique name.

"Sucimrat.. It's Music and Art!! Why you didn't notice?"..he's laughing at me now..

"Wow. I'm so proud of Mom & Dad..how they put out to me their passion's brand"I smiled, overwhelmed.

"And ARTUM?😕Art and Music!! aww….. aren't our names a twin!!"I giggled now.

My phone just rang.. and...😲😅.. it's dad!!

"Honey, your guest we're all going home now..after 5 min.s weren't' you going to say something?"Dad asked.

"OK, Dad. I'm coming"I responded.

"Hmm..With Art?..."Dad sounds cheesy..eww.

"Yeah," I agreed.

Artum offered his arms and asked, "So let's go?

I grabbed onto his arms and said," Okay then"

(ON STAGE)

SUCI'S POV

Thank you so much everyone for joining me here on my 18th Birthday..I am so happy to meet all of you. To my parents who spoil me a lot🥰, and my sister who's always at my back to the rescue👯‍♀️.To my friends, bandmates my mentors..You all made my day special..😘

Today another chapter of my life has opened, Thank GOD I was able to experience the things I wanted to do for the past 17 years. Not all girls at the same age had the privilege to do so. I'm looking forward to the future self I'm going to be. I will continue my journey with all of you who support me...

ARTUM'S POV

While Suci's talking on stage, a future flashed in my mind. Suci and I are on the aisle. exchanging vows.😅🤔That was fast there but I wonder why it feels real.🤭Never mind let it all be🙂

I noticed everyone is coming out now..the party's over. Why am I not leaving yet? My mind is searching for that voice. And here we go again. Suci came back saying goodbye. How I wish this night wouldn't end. But of course, I still have work tomorrow I must be early for my class.

"Hey, Art! Thanks for tonight. That was a great encounter. First meet, first dance. And I think it would be the last.?"😞

"You're always welcome." How do you say so?

"I stalked you😅 And I saw a girl from a photo holding your hand like you were a couple ya know."

Maybe she gets jealous if we talk or whatever."

My hands were fast. I grabbed her waist and kissed her on the lips like those were mine😉

That was a fast move there but I can't control it.

10 years ago when our parents talked about this whole thing.

Yeah, just like what you've read and seen on K-dramas, C-dramas Contract marriage.

Suci and I were legally arranged to get married when she reached 18.

I don't know how or why I ended up loving her.

But before this all happen I am just protecting her from afar.

And now we are so close not even an inch apart.

(And this is how our story started)😉
