A few months later
Mr.Han
"When are you going to bring her home?" Mom asks as soon as I answer her call.
I pass a glance at Jason, pointing at the phone. He nods, and I walk a lottle awau to a side. 
"Mum, you asked this yesterday as well." I scowl. "I will be bisy the follwong days so I can't come home." I explain.
"Then you don't come. If you are busy, you stay back there, in your office and work. Send my daughter in law over."
"Only her?"
"Yes!" I hear her hit on her thigh. God, this woman... 
"Then what about me?" I huff.
"Who cares?" I could imagine the move of her hand at this moment feom the other side and her shrug. "Send Anna, I want to meet her." She orders.
My mum is excited more than I am since the day she found out I'm in a relationship. 
"Let her live with us." She adds.
My jaw drops at her addition statement, i purse my lips inhaling a deep breath. "I will be alone if she is there." I rub my hand against my head. "If you want to see her so badly, we can have a video call."
"She would feel awkward that way." She snaps and continues, "I showed her photo, which you sent to dad and others, all told she is beautiful. If your dad is free this weekend, I would definitely come over there to see Anna." She squeels like a kid, and I chuckle at her noise. "I'm so eager to see her, and your dad is waiting to meet her as well. We want to see the special person our son found." Sje takes a moment of silence, smiling, I guess, and continues, "Tell Anna I'm excited to meet her. Wait—" she ears her throat. "Are you taking good care of her? Don't tell me you've been busy with work!"
"Mum," I drawl. "She is working with me."
"So?"
"So, she will always be with me. Why are you so obsessed with her when you have'teven met her?"
"I have met her."
"When?"
"Ten years ago, when she was a kid. I saw her when she moved in, I saw her before you." She  snarls. "Anyways, send me the photos of Jason's ceremony, especially my daughter in kaw's photo."
"You don't want to see me?"
"I've seen you enough. I wo.der how will Anna look in the wedding gown." She chuckles. "She will definitely be like an angel."
"Yes, she will." I exhale.
"You know, Lara's mother threw tantrums at me saying that my son is ungentlemanly."
"Oh, what did you say then?"
"I told her yes he is, but i don't care as he found a girlfriend."
"Mum, seriously." A loud waery sigh leaves ny lips as I seay my body back and forth.
"I never thought that you've had a girl in your heart already. If I've known, I wouldn't have set you up with Kara and all the girls in the blind dates."
"Hmmm..."
"Mum knows that as your parents we hadn't spent much rime with when you were young, I've always regretted but knowing that there was someone for yiu, and that girl is with you now, so I'm pleased about your enternal happiness." She takes a moment, shouting aloid something at someone, I heard her say I'm talking to him. 
"To whom are you yelling?"
"Who else? Your dad, he wants to talk to Anna, and I told her she is not with you."
"Oh, it seems like my parents are so excited to meet my girlfriend rather than their son."
"Weren't seen you for years." She scowls.
"Really, mum, I haven't visited home for like a year."
"But we always get in contact in call and video call."
"So why don't you do the same with Anna."
"I want to meet her in person. That would be more cheerful."
"Indeed." I laugh.
I'm so happy to know my parents have always supported my decision, whether in education,  work, or life. The only aituation mum amd dad oushed into was in my relationship, she forced me into number blind dates and finally all ended when she set me up with Lara, her friend's daughter, or colleague I guess. Lara seemed uninterested when she came to meet me, so I thought I had no need to put on a show on my side but never expected Lara to make an ironic action. 
"Alright, I'll hang up. Take good care of Anna." With that said, she hangs up.
I chuckle at the thought of mom. She is really fond of Anna and I'm glad about it. Pushing my ohone into my navy blue pant pockets, I steide cmrowards Jason who keeps rubbibg his hands against each other, he gulps multiple times and his eyes flutter every moment he lick his lips. This man is anxious!
"Come on, boy, stop being nervous." I git omhim on his arm playfully as he keeps his gaze foxed to the decored arched in distant waiting till his most awaited bride walks down towards him.
He lets out a low sigh and leans to my side, "i don't why, I'm nervous, and I'm so impatient to see her." He says, this man is good at maintaining his posture of calmness and politeness in front of the crowd as he whispers something to the lerson beside him, like he just staed sonething more significant.
"It's not like you haven't seen her."
He faces me and shakes his head in disapproval. "I have but to see her in that white gown os what makes me impatient. Every bride will look extra special on their wedding day, they shine bright, they glow and that moment when they take steos rowards you, it's like—" he takes moment to think while I watch in interest. "You'll feel ecstatic that you found your one. What do you say?" 
The melody of the instruments changes, and all the eyes shift to the aisle. Jason straigtens his posture, and I wait beside him, staring ahead, eagerly waiting till she comes ro my view. I smile at the sight of Charlotte and as Jason told she is indeed shining bright today and ny gaze travels to the person walking beside her, my smile widens and my hearts jumps out of ny ribcage when she peeps a glance at me and grins.
Oh god, this girl is killing me. I would definitely die if mybjeartcrate rises like this. 
I lean to my right a bit, "Yes, I will be impatient." I reply. 
She is wearing a blush pink frock that gracefully falls below her knees. Her hair is intricately braided, with delicate flowers artfully tucked in between the strands. The pink ballerina shoes she has chosen perfectly complement her ensemble. As she ambles closer, I notice her earrings, which sparkles, the one that she refused to take when I bought in the mall. I asked Charlotte to lass it to her, and I knew that would fit her well. Charlotte steps next to Jason, and Anna stops behind her. My eyes never leave her.
I wonder how she'll be on our wedding, wpuld I die with racing heart on that day. 
"Han, Han," a fait voice plays at the back of my mind, and I blink subtly, shaking my headnfeeling the hard push on my arm. I turn to my right to see Jason gszing at me.
"Dude," he growls in a low voice, and I nod, taling a peek at anna again. "The ring, man, get me the ring."
"Huh," I lick my lups and observe around, and fall on Charlotte's hand where the red velvet box is held and my gaze travels up to her face. She sneers mischievously with the look of zi-know-what-you-were-thinking.
Rubbhing the back of the neck, I pop out the ring box and pass it to Jason. My vision swiftly shifts to Anna, and she gazes at me that bery moment. Her lips spread into a mischievous yet shy amile.
She knows, she surely knows I was enchanted by her.
As the beide and groom turns facing each other, Anna and I walk to our seats. We sit next to each other and hold her hand. She leans towards me and rests her head on ny chaest, I slip my arm over her ahoulders, pulling her closer.
"Is it cold?" I ask.
"No," she replies sodtly, her eyes foxed on the couple aheas of us.
Charlotted and Jason hild their, and the vows begin. The crowd awes them blessing the newly wed.
"Mr. Han," Anna calls out.
I take a glance doqn at her, noticing her eyes on them still, I look straight and amswerz. "Yes."
"What vow will you announce on our wedding day?" She sits straight and looks at me.
I take a moment think and I avert my gaze to her, "I will vow that I promise to build a book shelf in yoir room, or a peivate library andbuu all the books which you wanna read. I will read those with and will make youbrealise that sometimes fiction can be real. I promise that I will always be there for ypu till the end. " She stares at me with an unreadable expression and hugs me in a blink of an eye. She titled her head on my chest, her arms wrapped around me.
"What do you want me to promise?" She asks.
I look down at her head, "Just promise you will be with me forever." I . straight when Jason picks the mic.
"Hmmm," Anna hums as she higs me tighter, "Charlotte is crying." She says.
I nod. "Even Jason is going to." I chuckle.
I'm happy that these two are finally getting married. They've had many problems throughout their journey, but their love and understanding were stronger to keep them bonded.
Anma sits upright and clasps her hands velow chin. I smile at her actions, and she steals a gllamce at me and back at the scene. Shaking my head, I look straight, this isn't ndw to me anyway, I've seen them kiss and suck many times.
"Anna," she looks at me and nods.
"My parents are eager to meet you." I say, and she moves her head forward in interest. "So—"
"Shall we visit them this when you're free." She beams.
I gawk at her for a while, and she bites her lower lip, fluttering her lashes. I lean forward and rest my keft elbow on my thight and place my left cheek on my hand. Her brows meet watching me, staring at her.
"Tomorrow,  let's go tomorrow." I say.
"Aren't you busy?"
"Never mind, I can get holdof thing asap." 
"That's great," she claps, and her fingers intertwine as she moves forward.
"You know, simce the day I saw you again I feel like I'm in a dream, a happily ever after dream."
"That's a fairytale." She whisper moving forward. 
The crowd claps, and she moves back in instant. She stands along with everyone, and I do the same, my eyes fixed on her.
"Anna," she turns to my direction, looking up at me. "Whethwr it's a dream or fairytale, I don't want it to end." I utter lowering myself.
"Me too," she whispers, and I slip my hmmamds around her waist, and hers arms slide over her shoulders to the back of my neck. Our lips crash as I kift her. 
I feel the spotlight direct to us, the subtle heat of the light plating against our cold skin.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Anna
You give me feelings that I can not put into words,
I never admired destiny until it brought you to my world,
Whether it was back then or now, you are the most important person in my life
Han
I never had a day without the thought of you,
Whether it was back then or now, I will always choose you,
I want to spend the rest of my life annoying you,
You are meant for me, and I am meant for you
