I missed being in the condo with Min but I didn’t want to be here. I wanted to be in Paris and wrapped up in Min but here I was back in Singapore, finally wearing all the clothes I complained that I didn’t get to wear. But since we were back, it was back to business. Min was busy with the restaurant, and his plans to open his restaurants. The girls were also busy with their lives and we barely had time to hang out. I shouldn’t have chickened out of working at the cafe, at least I’ll have something to do with myself. Maybe they’ll let me come back if I beg them continuously. The week ran with everyone being busy except me and I didn’t like that, but at least on Saturday, I went to the hospital we did the weekly check-up. My vitals were good, the baby was growing well and was healthy. I had nothing to worry about. Chemotherapy was also working and I was feeling better. At least I think I am, I don’t know if there’s any difference but the doctor assured me there was. Min had to leave
I had the best evening and I think the girls had an equally wonderful night. They left at eight P.M. Chen stayed a while longer and when Min left the two of us alone, Cheng told me something that hadn't come to my head."Min's birthday is tomorrow,""Tomorrow?" i asked and he nodded. "He barely remembers. His parents died a day after his birthday so it makes him really sad to celebrate. I just wanted to inform you because i had a feeling didn't tell you. I also knew about the contract but tonight proved that he's in love with you and I wish you guys a god marriage," Cheng said and i smiled."What's gogin on? Why are ypu guys looking like you can; have civilized conversaions withiut me?" Min asked walking into the dinning."Because you are the star of the show," I replied."No you are the star of the show and I think it's time for the star to get out of that dress. Hmm Cheng, you have overstayd your welcome. Call me tomorrow, I need to be sure you make it home alive," he said and pulle
You know how you sometimes felt like things were about to go wrong? That's how I felt when my parents called me and asked me to come to the Lin mansion for lunch. The day started badly. I kept making mistakes and tripping. Was calling my name? And the person must be angry. The day just didn't seem to be on my side and I just wanted to it end quickly. I wanted to start another day and have a more peaceful day. I loved starting my mornings on a positive note because I believed they affected my day and I just knew was going to be a bad day but not as bad as I thought it was going to be. My phone rang and it was my mother calling. "Young woman, we need you at Lin's residence for lunch," she said. There was no exchange of pleasantries and she sounded like she wasn't talking to her daughter. "Good morning to you too Mom. Min isn't home, what would be the best time to come over?" I asked. "I never said you could bring Min. I only told you to be here. Lunch is by two p.m.and I expect you
I knew it was hard to please Dad but Min had proudly confessed his love to me in front of Mon and Dad and he clarified he wasn't with me just for the money, what else did he want from us? "Who initiated the contract?" he asked. "I did," I answered. I saw the shock on his face when he realized it was me. What was he expecting? Logically we were richer than Min, how would Min afford to get a contract with me? "You did?" Mom asked and I nodded. "Is this some sort of emotional blackmail? Is he telling you to take the blame?" Dad asked and I shook my head. "No offense Min," I apologized to MIn and stated the obvious. "Min is not as rich as us." "He might have initiated the contract to blackmail you and get you into marrying him so he could get something from us," Dad explained his thoughts and I laughed. "How could you think so lowly of someone? If he had anything to blackmail me with, he would have collected the money and not bothered with marriage but he did all of that and agreed
My days had been really busy, my baby bump was bigger. I was always tired and eating a lot. I was also craving a lot of things and I have a husband who willingly makes me whatever meals I craze anytime I craze them. He also quit working a the Bar and Din restaurant. I was surely going to miss his presence anytime I and the girls went there. Min was always in the apartment but he was always locked up in the study and I tried not to disturb him as much, I know how stressed he was with planning and getting ready to open his restaurant. He was so beautiful when he worked. He bit down on his lips whenever he was finding something hard and it turned me on. MIn was always giving in t be with me but somehow I was always horny and wanted to be with him every time but I wasn't going to disturb him. I was going to watch him achieve his dreams while I watched from the creak in the door. He was my husband, it couldn't be considered stalking. I was simply just looking out for him. I was so tempted
Walking around with a bald head was hard. Everyone kept staring and it hurt my confidence. Min didn't like that I couldn't walk around and decided to tag along whenever I was leaving the apartment. With him by my side, I barely noticed the watching crowd. He made us go to the park to get cotton candy and I didn't feel so self-conscious. There were a lot of people but it was alright. They could all stare, the only eyes that made me feel any sort of way but the bald man walking beside me. He made me laugh and involved me in the whole process of the restaurant opening and it made me busy. it also took my thoughts from the eyes. MIn was simply amazing but he couldn't protect me all the time. I had been avoiding the girls and the group chat. They had made so many plans to go out but I didn't want to go with them if Min wasn't going to come. I avoided every discussion in the group chat and acted like I had disappeared again. That was a mistake I shouldn't have made. I should have just ca
After telling the girls about how sick I was, they all started acting weird except June, and I couldn't stand that. It felt like they were feeling pity, but what would pity do? Throwing a pity party does absolutely nothing. I had a meeting today with my prenatal doctor and I was going to ask her if I was fit to travel. I need to be away from everything and everyone right now. "Hello wife, what is going through your head?" Min asked. "last night didn't go as planned. I shouldn't have told them about my illness, I should have just said it was a trend or went with June's story of being a spy" I lamented. "Why would you want to lie to your friends? And only June believed her spy theories, she probably watches too many spy movies to think you're on. You are the most unfit person I know," Min said, and I slapped his chest before bringing back our topic of discussion."I just don't want them to feel pity for me, but that's how they felt. They felt pity and tried to act nicer. I don't want
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
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
