"Mei, Mei, time to go get your hair done," Mom said shaking me. "No, I want to sleep," I groaned. "Tomorrow's Saturday, everything has to be ready before tomorrow," She explained. "You can make my hair tomorrow," I whined. "It's your wedding do whatever you want," She said and left my bedroom. I opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling for a moment and got ready to start the day. I haven't rested all week, Mom made it her mission to make me look ‘absolutely perfect for the wedding’. Those were her exact wordsNail appointments, different skin care products, and healthy meals. Making sure I exercised so I wouldn't gain extra weight and making me avoid meals she thought would make me break out. I was tired, I really wanted a buffet of chocolate and ice cream to keep me energized..."Miss, it's time to get ready, the dressmaker is here with your dress and your mom brought the hairstylist for a touch-up on your hair," the maid informed me. I groaned and rolled out of bed. I walked into my

The doors of the church opened and I was greeted with soft tunes welcoming me, the bride. Everyone stood up and turned to look at dad and I. My face grew bright red and I couldn't have been more happy about the veil covering my face. Dad tapped my hand lightly and we took slow steps towards the altar. The church was beautiful. The aisle gleamed in radiant white, reflecting the lights with a captiating shimmer. The edges were adorned with a magnificent arrangement of white and golden flowers. This beautiful guided the eyes towards the base of the of the staircase, where it gracefully ascended towards the altar. And the chairs were covered in gold silk chair cover . It must be so comfortable having to sit on them. I smiled at the decoration and looked up to see Min Jun staring and waiting patiently for me, his bride.He was wearing a suit, it had to be the suit he picked. The suit he wouldn't show me. He looked magnificent. His hair looked like it had been cut, he actually made an attem

The white tent were the reception was holding was shaped like a castle. in the tent there was six tabIes, five of them had six chairs but the last one had two chairs, which looked like they belonged in the castle. The cushion of the chairs were white while the headrest, the handles and the legs were gold. Every table was covered with a white cloth, on the top was a three step snack tray and plates for the guest to serve themselve. On the first step of the snack tray, there were vanilla cupcakes with strawberry filling, white sugar icing and gold springles, the second step had scones and biscuits and the third step had cookies.in the middle of the tent was a huge 5 step cake. On top of the cake was a figurine of a man and woman at their wedding. At the sides of the tents were tables holding buffets of different meals and fruits. I smiled and turned to look at

An abrupt scream had the attention of everyone. I looked through the crowd to see a lady I had never seen in my life. She didn't look like someone my parents had invited and Min said he was only bringing his friend. She quickly apologized and turned to pick up the plate she had dropped. She was about my height, maybe an inch taller than my 5'6 ft self, her blonde hair looked like it had been dyed. The black mini dress she was wearing hugged her hips and accentuated her curves. She was beautiful but she looked out of place. I made a move to walk in her direction but was pulled into the arm of my arch nemesis, well he became my arch nemesis the way he thought he could connive with my parents to get me to be his wife. "What do you want?" I asked Lin as he pulled me onto the dance floor. "I just want to dance with the bride, is there anything wrong with that?" He asked me as he spun me around. As he pulled me back into his hands, I caught sight of Min Jun dragging the stranger out of th

At 10pm the guests were led out of the tent towards my getaway car, they formed a guard of honor, they stood on both sides of the sidewalk and left the middle for me to walk by. The tent was almost empty, it was just mom, dad, Min Jun and I left in it. "Are you sure you do not want to come home with us?" Mom asked. She had been trying to convince me to spend my first night as a married woman in the Lin mansion. "Ama, I cannot do that, I should spend the first night with my husband," I said holding her hand. "I'm not prepared to let you go," She said and slowly tears rolled down her face. I had never seen my mom openly cry but here she was sobbing. I wiped her tears while tears rolled down my eyes too. "Mom don't cry," I whispered as I frantically tried to wipe her tears that kept flowing. "My baby is leaving," She muttered through her sobs. "I'm...I'm...I'm not leaving, I will visit, we live in the same country, probably the same state," I said trying to convince her to stop cryi

As the clock struck twelve, I walked out of the bathroom shattering the stillness of the bedroom. Few strands of my black locks had escaped my bun and were plastered against my neck and face. I brushed them against the bun with my palm and finally decided to address the problem at hand 'Min Jun'Min laid on the bed, eyes wide open and monitoring my movements. I walked shyly away from the bathroom door gripping the rope of my loose red satin robe. The robe was knee length and was covering the thigh length red satin night gown underneath it. "I'm so tired," I muttered as I walked towards the wardrobe, my bare feet weaved through the plush carpet which made my steps barely audible. I got to the wardrobe and removed the satin robe exposing my pale thighs to Min. He saw my thighs at the wedding, there was no reason to be shy, I repeated trying really hard to not feel shy. I walked to the side of the bed and stepped in. "Hi," I said. "Hi," he replied. "We should sleep," i said and got u

"Almost," I sighed and stood up. I needed little space from Min Jun and I couldn't stare at his face. Min Jun walked over to my seated position and continued to stare at me. "Are you shy?" he asked. "No, I just want to sleep but you were really close to my face," I said, lied on the bed and turned to face the sheets. "isn't that uncomfortable?" He asked me. My muffled voice denied his allegations and remained face planted against the linen. It was getting harder to breath but it was better than looking at Min. I felt the bed dip and could no longer feel him staring. I turned to the demarcation and saw his figure settling intoot his side of the bed. "Good night Mrs. Lee, we should talk later," he said. I mouthed my answer and turned to look at the canopy of the bed. I should be happy, I got what I wanted. I was married, I could do everything on my bucket list but something didn't feel right. Maybe I just need to sleep, I have gone through a whole lot of stress planning this wedd

A tall pale man about 6 ft tall walked out of the kitchen towards us. His words got stuck in his throat when he noticed there was someone other than Mn Jun in the living room. "Hey Mrs. Lee," he greeted. "I'm Cheng," He added and stretched his hand towards me. I looked at his long slender fingers and shook his hand. "I'm Mei Xing," I corrected. "To what do I owe this visit?" he asked but the question seemed aimed at Min. "Hmm Miss, I will go wait in the car," Mr. Jiang said. He didn't give me to chance to answer as his retreating body was already closing the door. "Do you want to sit?" Cheng asked pointing towards the single chair in the living room. In the living room, there were two chairs. A three seater sofa than faced a 26 inch TV and the single chair that was placed awkwardly in the corner of the room. "Thank you," I said and opted to sit on the three seater chair. "Are you going to sit?" I asked Min. "Let me get you something to drink," he replied and disappeared into the

365 days to love Epilogue
It has been a year since Mei died and I was starting to get used to her not being around. Although today that I remembered that she would have been alive with the bay and I, it hurts. Our daughter is a year old and she looks so much like Mei. Her hair is really long, it already reached mid back. She’s shy and lives the rose bushes. It seems like she’s a reincarnation of her mother. She plays around at her house. She also loves the rose vase where Mei’s things are being held. They gave me the rings and the locket and buried her like that. I have my daughter the locket but the rings were stored in the rose. I would make sure to keep it somewhere safe and away from Mei. It’s too precious to get lost. “Mei,” I called out to her. She ran down the stairs, stood in front of me and smiled. She was still wobbly and I always warned her not run down the stairs. She started walking three months ago and now she thinks running down the stairs is such an easy task. “Mei, I keep telling you to

Maybe I should have told her to save her breath, I shouldn’t have let her tell me everything, but did I let her explain all her feelings? I know how she felt about me, she didn’t need to narrate our love story to me. She didn't need to tell me everything, but I sat down and listened for hours while she said everything. I felt like the worst person on earth as I watched her lay on the bed breathless and lifeless. She used to have so much life, so much joy, she was always so beautiful. I had the best thing ever but like everything else she was taken away from me. I tapped the call button immediately she closed her eyes but there was nothing they could do. I watched the doctors run around me and I just drifted from the space and went back into the time when it was just me and her. The first day I met her when she asked me to marry her. I was surprised by her confidence and it scared me. I loved how persistent she was and kept chasing me until I was signed to a contract that brought me

The next morning, I woke up with the same pain that was now familiar but it hurt more. it felt harder to talk, to come up to words, my head was banging and I wanted it all to end, the pain, me. it was too much to handle. My radiotherapy was set for four and my drugs weren't helping to make me feel better. My head still hurt after taking two dosages of the pills. I stopped not wanting to overdose, although I already did. I was up before Mom, Dad, and Min and I couldn't sleep back although it was four am. I got out of bed and tried to come down from the bed. I lost my balance and before I fell, Min caught me. I smiled at him and fainted. When I woke up it was already afternoon and my radiotherapy session had been moved to the next day. I groaned when I found out. Can I get over the whole process already? It was starting to annoy me."Are you alright?" Min asked and I nodded. "My head hurts a little, it must have caused me to lose my balance," I explained to Min and he nodded. He touch

I woke up and realized I was in the hospital. How did I end up here? The last thing I remembered, was hugging everyone goodbye, and Min and I were ready to go to bed. in smiled at me as I turned to look at him. He looked really stressed and tired. He looked like he hadn't slept in a long time. I touched the eye bags and frowned. He took my hand and kissed it. I looked and saw that I was connected to an IV drip. I never understood why we couldn't just drink all the contents but its name says it all; drip, there's only ever a drop every second, and it's so freaking slow. "What happened?" I asked Min. "you fainted and I rushed you here," he explained. I heard shuffling in the background and noticed my parents were also in the room. Everyone looked stressed like they hadn't slept all through the night. "I called your parents when I got here," Min informed me. "You didn't have to call them, I'll be fine," I tell him and try to clear my throat, the pain made it hard to talk but not as ha

We returned to the condo the next day and decided we would move on Wednesday. Min had to be at the restaurant every day but he could take a break from Wednesday to Friday. The weekends were expected to be packed because the first day was a huge success and the men returned at six P.m. He had called me at least ten times today and each time he spent at least ten minutes talking to me. I kept asking if he didn't need to focus, and he said he had to and he was focusing on me. He was so cute and romantic and knew all the right words to say. He had come earlier to have dinner with me and had left the meal in the hands of his trusted chefs and the waiters that started working today. "Hey," I said when he walked in. “Hey baby, I missed you. Are you sure you don't want to come to the restaurant with me?" he asked me."What do you want me to do at the restaurant? I am not very cooking and I can't be a waiter, my baby wouldn't let me move around with that much ease," I told him. "Mei junior

My parents left our apartment at ten p.m and I should have gone to bed but I wasn't sleepy and neither was Min. i decided it was best to open my gifts and decided to ask Min for help."Can you help me unbox my present?" Min shook his head refusing to help me. "But it's so stressful and I need your help," I whined and he looked at me. "Come on Min," I pleaded."Fine, but I won't unwrap the gifts with you, I'll just watch you and bring anything you need," he negotiated and I agreed to it. Min pulled the bean he had bought for me. We unwrapped all the gifts and they were so cute. They had bought me little baby things, most of the essentials I would be needing. There were napkins, blankets, a baby carrier and some few things.“See we don’t have to buy that many baby things,” I said to Min and he laughed.I picked up the last gifts which were my parents gift. It was paper and it was put in a brown envelope, there was no fancy design, just straight to the point. I opened the envelop and saw

It seemed like my presence changed the atmosphere in the room because everyone turned in my direction and they looked surprised to see me there. I definitely wasn't dressed like them and I was a very pregnant woman. "Good afternoon," I greeted with a very wide grin."Who are you?" Someone asked. "The restaurant doesn't open until four," Someone else said. "Who left the front door open?"Another one asked. "You did, you were the last person outside," another said. "Oh," the door person asked. "Miss would you like to wait till the restaurant opens or are you going to return by four?" the curious one asked. "Oh! I am here for Min," I said feeling shy. "The owner?" The curious asked. "Yeah, he's my husband," I announced. I barely got to ask for him. again when I saw MIn walking in with his chef outfit. He looked so cute. Sorry handsome and all those masculine features. He looked at me shocked to see me here. "Hey," I said shyly. "Babe? What are you doing here?" he asked me. "I

After my little announcement, everyone made a toast to Min and to the opening of his restaurant. He pulled me into him and drank from his glass. I smiled at him and he kissed my forehead. "You know Min steals all your brain cells with those forehead kisses right?" June asked and everybody laughed. "I actually feel smarter and more loved every time he kisses my forehead. are you sure he isn't just pouring his brain cells and love in my head?" I asked. "That's they get them all," June said. I loved June and how she made everywhere funnier when she had had a sip of her daily dose of coffee. She was standing in between my mom and dad and smiling at them. I could tell Dad was uncomfortable but he deserved the little torture for everything he has done to Min and I. Min might have let it slide by inviting Dad to my birthday but I'll need more than him coming here for me to forgive everything he's done. "Thank you all for the toasts and celebrating the restaurant but today's about m
365 days to love A surprise party
I remember telling Min my birthday date on his birthday, he had purposely not told me about his birthday, but I wanted him to know mine for it to be fair. I also barely got the chance to prepare or buy him a gift but I wasn't letting him do that to me, also Min makes the best surprises and they always blow my mind. He needed time for it to be more effective. I am also glad, I listened to my thoughts and told him earlier. He has been so busy, I doubt he has the time to do anything special for my birthday. If I hadn’t gotten the information from Cheng, I probably wouldn’t know Min’s birthday and that is wrong. I was going to give him the chance to feel this way so I told him about my birthday. I woke up feeling pumped about my birthday. I also spent all night praying that my hormones acted right. The last dinner on the roof was amazing but I ended up balling my eyes out for absolutely no reason. I had the best time after crying, but I wished I didn't have to cry. We watched a movie, a
