I leaned my back and scratching my forehead. "Um… what do you think about this ring? The diamond is too big or…" I straightened my body, looking at her.
"I like elegant, but simple. If you want this ring… I can buy it for you individually." She shook her head.
She leaned her head and waiting for the clerk waiting for them bring another box of rings. "I marry you because of love, not because of money, babe. I might be like Ariana Grande, but I know how to spend money."
She pecks my cheek. I took a deep breath as the clerk wearing the white gloves. "Um… what about this?" I'm pointing at row number 3. The clerk picked the ring on the row 3, and she nodding her head. People will ask why inside the jewel store or high-class brand always wearing gloves.
They don't want their fingerprint stick to the object and ending up make their catalogue look dirty. "Are you sure you want this? Not the previous one?" She nodding her head and tries the ring.
"This one, please." She said. I took a deep breath and picked my card holder from my pocket. "What about you? Where's yours?"
I'm glancing at her as I handing my black card. "Don't let your bride knows your ring… and I want to make it surprise."
Honestly, I don't want she knows I already purchased online rare Onyx ring for us. It's just for a decoy. This ring will become her second collection. "Here's your receipt." I'm looking at Rose, who was looking at the Blue Diamond set jewelry on the cube box.
I pecked on her cheek and put my hand around her waist. "Do you want that? I can tell them now." She shook her head and we get out of the store.
I know she not marrying me for money, but… her eyes won't keep away. Maybe I will comeback later after I drop her off to her last client. She will focus on to taking care of me, but I know it seems impossible for her to waste her license.
When we got married, I will open a business for her. "Babe, what are you… looking at?" I'm scratching my hair and pointing to toys store. She furrowed her brow.
"Just… looking for a figure, maybe… they have the Optimus Prime's Robot." She rolled her eyes. She always complains about my excessive buying on gadgets. Even I have a dedicated room for me to spending time with my gadgets.
Last week, I bought a Ferro fluid Bluetooth Speaker. It's cool for me, but for Rose… she saw it differently. We already bought a ticket to home because her mom wants us to go home. About Jenny, she hasn't contacted us yet.
Maybe she's sensitive these days because of that? I heard my phone notification sound and decide to see who sends me a message at this hour. Hanks? "Um… babe?" Rose looks at me. "What if… we continue it tomorrow? My brother wants to meet me." She raised her eyebrow.
"Are you sure you are okay?" I kissed her forehead and nodding my head. No matter what, I should distribute the invitation to my family, right? I'm not expect them to come, anyway. "Call me if you need anything, okay?" I'm nodding my head.
I accompany her to the lobby, "let Hanks drive you home. I… still have a surprise for you." She nodding her head and wrap my her hands.

I'm approaching my brother, he keeps glared at me as he gripped the machete. "You the one who called me, right?" I throw my invitation to in front of him. "Here's the invitation. Burn it or dumped it, I don't care. I just want my rights."
"What is your rights?" He asked.
I'm looking at my surrounding. I can call the police and arrest him, but it's our problem. No one will put their hands on our problem. "The necklace. It's mine, right? I just need it."
Our parents keep complain about we keep punching each other and literally fight. We fight over a small thing because of my jealousy towards him. It's difficult for me to admit to him for the years and now he is standing 3 meters with a machete in his grip. "If you want to kill me, be my guest!"
He approaches me as he raised his hand. I dodge his attack and tripped his leg. "Seriously? You slow." He gets up and keep swing his machete blindly. I keep dodge and blocked his attack.
I pushed him. He tripped and fell. I kicked his machete away and stepped in his hand. "You…"
I took a deep breath and scratching my cheek. "Do you have a proof?" I asked him. I squad in front of him and slap his head. When we're younger, we keep punching, yelling, pinching, and biting each other. "Don't put your finger to anyone without an evidence. Besides… it could be an inside job, or one of your colleagues become the culprit."
He glared at me with tears in his eyes. Someone probably recording when the incident happened and he thoughts I already ruined his life. "I will help you. No matter what, we still a sibling. Even though I'm dead to you." I'm walking away from him as I heard he's screaming out of his lung.
I closed my eyes and let my tears falls. It's still hurts. I'm not doing anything, but he always keeps accusing me. I get inside my car and try to relax. "Call Dan and told him to investigate that viral video." Hanks nodding his head.
Now, I can't stay at her house. Her mom said we shouldn't sleep together until the d-day to avoid bad omen. "Turn around, take me to dr. Jason Kim Asylum."
I'm looking at a bouquet and a box of full sets of jewelry. I took a deep breath and looked at the sky. Today the sky seems bright. It will become a good day for me. One step closer, Lobak. Pulled yourself together.
