All Chapters of Exquisitely Altered : Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

I stared at the pair of white sandals I am currently wearing for a moment before lifting my gaze to the view of my surroundings. Above me is a blue and clear sky. On both of my sides, there are people close to me, sitting and watching me while I stand here. And in front, few meters away from me, is the man of my dream, standing and staring at me in the way of how I wanted to be stared at.I saw his nose moved, maybe he sniffed. After that, his right hand lifted towards his eye. That’s when I realized he’s crying!I chuckled before finally starting to walk in a slow pace. All of my focus was only on my man. I can’t stop myself from feeling various emotions. I kind of feel tickled on the inside while I feel excitement. I want to cry, I want to laugh. I don’t know what to do anymore. But the only thing I can clearly say is… I am happy.I stopped when I am distant from him few meters away. He took me from my uncle who walked me down the aisle. And the moment he smiled on me while his eyes

“How does it taste?” Chly asked while I am chewing the grilled bangus. He’s looking intently at me, or maybe on my mouth that’s currently chewing.“Hmm,” I just hummed because I couldn’t say a word.

I am pertaining only to myself. I feel like being fat doesn’t suit me. I even became envious with those chubby and cute men and women on social media that still looks good with it, well; everyone really looks good with their own siz

I feel like I have been poured by a bucket of cold water with plenty of ice in it when I heard the man in a black suit went to us and delivered the news. I already know what will happen, but I can’t fully process it. I can’t accept the fact that it’s their end.“Kalia, you have to rest-”“How can I rest with this situation, Chly?!” I asked, frustrated. Because of too much anger, I even began to show my anger to Chly, which I immediately regret.He nodded slowly and smiled bitterly. I felt guilty for raising my voice at him. It’s not me who just lost my parents. He also lost his parents, but instead of focusing and preparing his parents’ funeral, he is here on my side. And it makes my guilt rose more.“Leave me here, Chly. I can handle myself,” I said as I stood up. Before I could even step to go away, he immediately held my wrist. When I looked at him, I saw him shook his head. “What?”“I won’t leave you,” he said with finality in his voice.I sighed. “You have to take care of your pa
